"Ha!" Looking at Naruto who was still standing in place, Neji took the initiative to attack. He closed in on Naruto, and his palms quickly struck all over Naruto's body.
With each palm and every finger, there were several acupoints on the target.
He knew his true strength was definitely not a match for Naruto. The only chance was to strike first.
Naruto blocked all the attacks and launched a counterattack.
Neji took mysterious steps and blocked Naruto's counterattack with great difficulty.
Bang! Bang! Bang! The dull sound of physical attacks echoed on the scene.
The audience held their breaths and stared nervously at the scene.
"As expected of the highly Naruto. He actually blocked my attack so easily." Neji secretly praised in his heart.
All along, everyone thought that Naruto was good at Ninjutsu, Slashing, and the genius who had Kekkei Genkai.
Few people noticed his Taijutsu.
Neji believed that Taijutsu was not much weaker than Rock Lee, but he did not expect that Naruto could perfectly defend against all his attacks with just Taijutsu.
However, he was the Ninja who specialized in Taijutsu!!
Neji's eyes turned cold, and his movements immediately increased.
The palm accurately struck towards an acupoint on Naruto's body.
"Ka!" However, under his stunned gaze, Naruto easily grabbed his wrist and threw him into the sky.
"Crap, he has been hiding his strength!"
Feeling the howling wind, Neji tried his best to maintain his figure in the air.
"Hey, Neji." The Naruto in his sight disappeared, and then the sky was shrouded in shadows, accompanied by Naruto's indifferent tone.
"If this is the power you want to resist fate, then I advise you to submit to fate."
"Boom." With a loud explosion, Neji was hit to the ground like a cannonball, his entire body in pain.
Naruto calmly fell back to the ground and extended his right hand to catch the flying butterfly, quietly admiring it.
Indifferent and elegant.
"What kind of joke is this? The genius of Hyuga's family is so weak." Cries of surprise rose and fell from the stands.
"That little brat from Hyuga's family is not bad. Unfortunately, he is still a bit weaker than my disciple." Danzo smiled and shook his head.
"Sandaime Hokage, there are so many geniuses in Ninja Village." Kazekage, who Orochimaru in disguise, sighed in surprise.
"The battle has just begun." Sandaime smiled and looked at the battle, smoking his pipe.
Lying in the deep pit, Neji felt a sharp pain in his back, and his body had different degrees of injuries.
His expression was a little dazed, and his mind echoed with Naruto's sarcastic words.
Should a person like him submit to fate?
If it was the previous him, he might have fallen into depravity.
However, ever since he was pulled out of despair by Hinata, there was a fire in Neji's heart.
He clenched his fists and breathed heavily. Every time he breathed, he felt a burning pain in his chest.
In order to change his fate, he chose to believe.
In order to change his fate, he chose to fight.
"Naruto, you are indeed very strong. Whether it is Kekkei Genkai, Ninjutsu, or Taijutsu."
"From this exam onwards, you are publicly recognized as the strongest."
He shakily stood up from the deep pit. Under Naruto's calm gaze, he straightened his back.
"Perhaps to you, I am just an opponent that can be easily dealt with."
"Perhaps to you, the fate I am fighting against is so ridiculous."
"But."
"You don't know anything at all. Why do you deny me?"
"I will continue to fight. I will use my fists to prove that fate is not unbreakable."
"Even if I die!"
The veins on Neji's forehead bulged, and he assumed a fighting posture.
"Pa!" Naruto let the butterfly fly away from his finger and clapped hard.
"Very good, very enlightened. You have piqued my interest." He slowly pulled out Kyōka Suigetsu.
To be honest, Naruto began to hate Neji very much, even despise him.
In the beginning, Neji hung his fate in his mouth, and no matter what he did, he had to say a few words of fate, shaping himself into a depressed victim.
Moreover, he had sunk into depravity.
He clearly had the talent to be number one in the branch family, but he chose to submit, becoming a resentful 'woman'.
This kind of Neji not only made Naruto look down on him, but he even directly killed him.
However, it was unknown when it started, but Neji had changed.
He tried to fight back. He no longer hung his fate at the corner of his mouth.
Instead, he would use his actions to express the unwillingness in his heart.
His change had attracted the attention of Naruto.
"Destiny is something that is born to be stepped on. If you do not have the courage, you will become his nutrients."
"Let me see your courage. Don't run away like a dog anymore."
"Break, Kyōka Suigetsu."
The Kyōka Suigetsu in Naruto's hand suddenly shattered like a shattered mirror and merged into the air.
The cool breeze passed by, bringing ripples of vision.
There was silence on the stage. Everyone had already taken the role of Neji.
A man who wanted to fight against fate and not submit to power.
This was a battle with a great disparity in strength!
"Jūken: Hakke Rokujūyon Shō." Neji was the first to launch an attack.
However, the speed of his charge was a little slower than before, so it could be seen that his injuries still had some effect on him.
Bang. However, before he could touch Naruto, Neji's abdomen suddenly caved in, as if he was hit by a heavy object, and he quickly retreated a few steps.
"Is this Kyōka Suigetsu that affects the vision?" Neji widened his eyes.
Although he was already prepared in his heart, he was still shocked when faced with such a terrifying ability.
"What's going on? It seems like with a flash, that Hyuga family's genius was beaten back?"
The audience on the stage also cried out in alarm.
Even Orochimaru, who was playing the role of Kazekage, pretended to be stunned and said, "Hiss, this Uzumaki Naruto's Kekkei Genkai is a little magical."
"Not bad, not bad. Let's go!" Sandaime happily nodded: "We have more geniuses in Konoha."
Looking at Sandaime's proud appearance, Orochimaru couldn't help but sneer in his heart: "Sensei, ah, Sensei, you can be proud of yourself. When the time comes, you won't be able to laugh anymore."
Neji, who had been knocked back, suddenly closed his eyes and his breath returned to calm.
After understanding you, Kekkei Genkai, I have been training my sixth sense. I abandoned my sight and relied on my body's instinct! This is the key to breaking Kyōka Suigetsu.
"Yes, this Neji is a bit interesting." Aizen, who was in Naruto's body, had just arrived at the sealed space when he saw this interesting scene. His eyes narrowed slightly, revealing a dangerous gaze.
In his knowledge, the sixth sense may indeed be one of the means to break Kyōka Suigetsu, so he plans to test the monster, Zaraki Kenpachi
That was a man who relied on intuition to fight.
The day of the plan was getting closer and closer, and Aizen could not allow any mistakes.
