Chapter 355

And the worst part was that Uchiha Sasuke didn't dare let Hyuga Hinata get close.

First, his Uchiha taijutsu couldn't compare to Gentle Fist.

Second, Gentle Fist could strike pressure points; once hit, it could basically be declared a failure.

To prevent Hyuga Hinata from approaching, Uchiha Sasuke had to use Fire Style and shuriken.

But this was not a long-term solution.

Because his chakra couldn't last for many more times.

Uchiha Sasuke gritted his teeth and thought of a rather risky method.

He didn't hesitate much and performed Fire Style: Phoenix Sage Fire Jutsu.

A dozen fist-sized fireballs flew out chaotically, blocking Hyuga Hinata's surroundings like a meteor shower.

Gentle Fist: Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four Palms!

Hyuga Hinata adopted the same method as Hyuga Neji.

She faced the firelight, shattering the fireballs while moving forward.

Uchiha Sasuke calculated the distance between the two.

In the next second, he performed hand seals.

Fire Style: Dragon Flame Jutsu!

Three fire dragons roared and flew out.

Hyuga Hinata couldn't help but shrink her pupils.

Under Uchiha Sasuke's control, the three fire dragons had blocked her front.

Helpless, Hyuga Hinata could only run to the right while keeping an eye on the movements of the three fire dragons.

Although she was already very close to Uchiha Sasuke, the three fire dragons were blocking the way, and using the Body Flicker Jutsu would result in getting burned.

Just then, the three fire dragons suddenly scattered to both sides.

Hyuga Hinata was stunned for a moment and met Uchiha Sasuke's Sharingan.

"Success!"

Uchiha Sasuke immediately cast Genjutsu: Bubble.

Hyuga Hinata felt a surge of spirit at the same time.

This was... the best timing!

To make her fall into genjutsu, Uchiha Sasuke had moved the three fire dragons away himself.

But this also meant there were no obstacles between them.

Body Flicker Jutsu!

Hyuga Hinata's body immediately turned into leaves.

"...?"

Uchiha Sasuke, who was performing hand seals, suddenly lost his target and couldn't help but have a face full of question marks.

He subconsciously looked left and right.

Gentle Fist: Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four Palms!

Hyuga Hinata flashed in front of him, and her palms struck his body.

Uchiha Sasuke's body trembled, and he felt the flow of chakra in his body stagnate.

Hyuga Hinata didn't hold back and unleashed all the first ten palms she had mastered.

Because of the stopped chakra flow, Uchiha Sasuke stumbled and collapsed to the ground.

How could this happen?

Uchiha Sasuke felt unwilling.

He had activated his Sharingan and successfully defeated Hyuga Neji; why would he lose to Hyuga Hinata?

No!

Was his glory about to be ended just after it began?

Uchiha Sasuke struggled desperately.

A large amount of emotion flooded into his eyes.

He suddenly felt signs of his internal chakra beginning to flow again.

"Ahhh!"

Uchiha Sasuke stood up with effort.

Gentle Fist: Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four Palms!

Seeing this, Hyuga Hinata struck him with ten more palms.

This time, it was different chakra pressure points.

"Itachi..."

The chakra in Uchiha Sasuke's body fell into silence once again.

His blood surged, his head felt heavy, and he fainted directly.

"Sasuke?"

Hyuga Hinata, who had been decisive just a moment ago, suddenly panicked.

Kitazawa was just about to walk up to help check on Uchiha Sasuke, but someone beat him to it.

"Sasuke-kun!"

Haruno Sakura rushed up and hugged him.

She performed hand seals and pressed them against his chest.

"He's fine, just overcome with agitation."

Kitazawa patted Hyuga Hinata's head and said.

Having been an attending medical ninja at the Hidden Leaf Hospital for so long, he had already learned to observe, listen, and inquire.

Although Uchiha Sasuke was unconscious, his complexion was rosy, and he didn't seem to have any major issues.

Kitazawa couldn't help but chuckle when thinking about the scene just now.

Uchiha Sasuke was clearly about to have a small universe explosion, but ended up being beaten back to his original form by a few of Hyuga Hinata's palms.

If he hadn't met Hyuga Hinata, he might have really been able to turn the tables.

"The winner is Hyuga Hinata."

Kitazawa announced the result loudly.

Hyuga Hinata couldn't help but smile.

She actually really won against Uchiha Sasuke?

To be honest, luck played a big part in her winning.

Of course, the biggest credit went to the Body Flicker Jutsu that Kitazawa taught her.

【Current Mission: Help Hyuga Hinata defeat Uchiha Sasuke.】

【Mission Reward: Genjutsu: Bubble.】

【Host has completed the mission, reward issued.】

Seeing the text suddenly appear before his eyes, Kitazawa couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth.

A world where only Uchiha Sasuke was hurt was born, but he didn't stay unconscious for long and soon woke up.

"Sasuke-kun, how are Itachi feeling?"

Haruno Sakura asked with concern.

"..."

Uchiha Sasuke didn't want to talk at all.

He stood up and left the arena in silence.

Activated the Sharingan, how happy.

Defeated Hyuga Neji, how exciting.

Why did two happy things layered together turn out like this?

"Sasuke, losing once is no big deal; just win it back next time."

Uzumaki Naruto cheered him on.

"Itachi don't understand the Uchiha."

Uchiha Sasuke was silent for a few seconds and said.

"I indeed don't understand the Uchiha, but I know the principle that persistence is victory!"

Uzumaki Naruto gave a thumbs up and said: "Come join the glorious path of youth and sweat with us!"

"I refuse!"

Uchiha Sasuke was so scared he took half a step back and shook his head quickly.

"Why?"

Uzumaki Naruto asked in confusion: "Weren't Itachi very happy when Itachi wore the green bodysuit?"

"...?"

Uchiha Sasuke had a face full of question marks.

Which eye of yours saw that I was happy?

But being disrupted by Uzumaki Naruto like this, his mood recovered quite a bit.

Losing to Hyuga Hinata had become a foregone conclusion; no matter how much he sulked, it couldn't be changed.

Now what he needed to do was learn more Fire Style and genjutsu.

Uchiha Sasuke finally understood the importance of intelligence, or rather, new ninjutsu.

He lost to Hyuga Hinata because he didn't know she had already learned the Body Flicker Jutsu.

As long as he learned enough ninjutsu, no one could defeat him!

Kitazawa glanced at Uchiha Sasuke.

After noticing the change in his expression, he secretly thought that this was the correct way to use Naruto.

"The Uchiha clan has indeed produced two geniuses."

Tsunade looked at Uchiha Sasuke and said: "If I'm not mistaken, Sasuke's pupil power just increased quite a bit."

"He just activated his eyes, and it has already improved?"

Shizune asked with a stunned face: "Isn't he only seven years old?"

"Geniuses are just that unreasonable."

Tsunade suddenly smiled and said: "But Sasuke is quite an outlier."

In the Hidden Leaf Village, besides the Uchiha clan, the one who understood them best was the Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju.

As a high-ranking official of the Hidden Leaf Village and a granddaughter of Tobirama Senju, Tsunade had naturally seen relevant research.

She was very clear about how the Sharingan was activated and promoted.

But Uchiha Sasuke's way of improving without anyone dying was relatively rare.

"Sasuke is indeed a bit different."

Kitazawa nodded and said.

In his previous life, many people believed Uchiha Sasuke was the only normal person in the Uchiha clan.
