Because Sasuke's curse seal had long been sealed, after the battle ended, he did not stand in the same position as the original one. Instead, he came to the stands to enjoy the next battle.
After Sasuke's match, the second battle began. Aburame Shino versus Abumi Zaku. This bastard who had hoped to be recognized by Orochimaru was very unlucky. When he met Shino who was an insect user, the two small holes in his hands were blocked by the insects. In the end, when he used his Slicing Sound Wave again, he could only hurt himself and lose the match.
Kankuro vs Tsurugi Misumi is still the same as the original, manipulating his Kugutsu to break the Misumi's bones, and finally, Kankuro claimed the victory after Hayate's announcement.
Sakura vs Ino. The Yamanaka clan's secret technique that Ino was currently training was not at its peak yet. All she learned were the basic stuff without any killing power. She could only engage in close combat to restore their friendship. It ended in a draw.
Temari vs Tenten. Originally, the poor ninja tools user was good enough to hurt any ninjas of the same level. However, in the face of Temari who was good at using Wind Release, she could only watch as her ninja tools were all blown away. In the end, she was defeated by Wind Release.
The next, Shikamaru VS Tsuchi Kin, and Naruto vs Kiba was no different from the original work. Ryoha, who had not been too concerned about it, immediately changed his face when he saw the names of Hinata and Neji. Now Hinata was his girlfriend. How could he let her suffer the same injury as the original work? it was very clear that Neji's hatred for the Main family would make him hit hard.
"Hinata, give up this battle." Ryoha said to Hinata, ignoring the surprised eyes of the others.
"Ah! Why?" Hinata didn't faint because they had basically established a relationship, but her face was still red.
"You should know better than me while Neji might not hurt others, but concerning your family's relationship, I can see his eyes were on you. It shouldn't be said that there is some hatred or even killing intent in the branch family." Ryoha answered.
"No, I want to go." Hinata, who was abnormally weak, actually mustered the courage to look into Ryoha's eyes that were deep enough to see through his thoughts.
"You, if it were any other battle, I naturally wouldn't object to you, but..." Before Ryoha could say anything, Kurenai reached out and patted Ryoha on the shoulder. Ryoha turned his head and saw that Kurenai was actually using her eyes to tell him not to stop her.
"Kurenai-sensei, I hope you have a good reason to stop me." Ryoha's eyes suddenly became extremely sharp. Even Kurenai, who was a Jonin, felt a chill in her heart when she was stared at by Ryoha.
"Although I know that she is no match for Neji, she has no choice but to fight since she stepped on the path of a ninja. Do you want to protect her for the rest of your life?" Kurenai was very humane after all.
Although she was surprised by the sharpness in Ryoha's eyes, she was serious. Hinata was similar to Kurenai. Kind-hearted seemingly weak and helpless, but in fact, she was very strong.
"This..." Ryoha was speechless. He realized that he had his own path. So did Hinata. Maybe he could protect her for a while, but could he protect her every time and stop her?
Since Hinata was serious, she naturally had to fight. Being injured was inevitable. However, because it was Hinata, he lost his calm. At the same time, he forgot that Hinata was actually a girl who was soft on the outside but strong on the inside.
"Whoosh!"
Ryoha didn't say anything and didn't stop her. However, his hands were tightly clenched on the iron railing. The other Jonins and rookies were surprised by Ryoha's strength. The hard railing was pinched and twisted like fried dough by Ryoha.
"Hinata-sama, Ryoha is right. You should give up." Neji seemed to persuade her, but in fact, he was mocking her. As a member of the Hyuga clan's main family, she was so useless.
"In front of the person I like, I can't... lose face..." Hinata trembled, but soon she raised her head and activated her Byakugan. Her eyes were full of fighting spirit and determination.
Ryoha was a little surprised to see Hinata like this for the first time. At the same time, he didn't understand why Kurenai told him not to stop her. It turned out that this weak little girl had grown and become strong. She would not give up. But no matter what, if Neji dared to hurt her, Ryoha would not let him go.
"I don't want to stand behind you and only be protected by you. I want to stand beside you and fight with you." Hinata muttered to herself. Although his voice was very soft, it was enough to be heard by Ryoha's ears, causing him to tremble.
Although he liked the little girl Hinata very much, he never thought that Hinata would actually have such a great determination inside her heart. Not for anything else, but to stand beside him and face all difficulties and obstacles together, and even to fight. Other girls only liked to enjoy good things, they only relied on their boyfriends to help them to face difficult things, but Hinata was the exact opposite.
"Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!"
The two people of the Hyuga clan seemed to fight with soft punches, but the moment they hit the enemy, they were extremely fierce, especially when they hit the chakra points. The pain was unbearable.
"Endure it..." For the first time, Ryoha found that he had such a strong desire for power. If he was strong enough, he could totally ignore everyone present, including the Third, to kill Neji with one punch. But he couldn't. Not only would there be no benefits, but he would also let himself and Bulma be affected.
Even if the Third and the others would not pursue him, the people of the prominent clans would not let him go. He was not afraid, but Bulma was just an ordinary woman with zero training.
"Give up, the chakra points on your left hand have been rendered useless, and it is impossible to use chakra." Neji looked at Hinata and said.
"Never giving up is my way of struggling." Hinata coughed and once again used her Gentle Fist to rush toward Neji. Unfortunately, they were all dodged one by one. Instead, Neji seized the opportunity to send his chakra into her body and forced her back a dozen steps. She was already coughing up blood.
"Enough." Ryoha's cold voice was accompanied by a cold killing intent that echoed through the entire arena. It made everyone present feel as if they had fallen into an ice cave.
