Hinata's POV (Eastern Forest of Irminsul - Terra)
Hinata stared down Choji, her face determined, but her conflicted feelings showed up all the while. She could not claim to know Choji all that well, but nearly everyone spoke well of him. Neji had told the tale of how it had been Lee, Naruto, and him that had been ambushed by the traitorous Mizuki. Naruto had apparently described Choji as brave and helpful. His kind and good-natured attitude was something that nearly all members of the Akimichi clan were known for. He especially so, a fact that made the contrast of his usual and current self so odd.
Choji's smile was wide and manic. Such a wonton look of cruel interest was alien on his face. Yet the giant of a man was undeniably excited to fight her. Despite the growing feeling of despair that the man could not be reasoned with, Hinata felt compelled to try.
"Choji! You are under the control of an unknown third party! You would never act in this way!" Hinata called out.
"Wasting your time, I can't resist and am fully aware. It doesn't matter; the master's orders were clear. There's no point in talking!" Choji roared as he rushed at Hinata, attempting to crush her beneath his giant foot.
Hinata gritted her teeth as she dived away from the stomp. As she leaped away, she threw her hands into the sign for her signature technique. However, Choji simply put all of his weight into the stomp, fracturing and causing the ground to collapse around him. Hinata stumbled as she landed, dropping the hand sign to keep her balance. Her Byakugan allowed her to see Choji's next move. The giant kicked up a massive amount of debris from his stomp. The mess of dirt and stone flew to her.
The young woman dropped forward onto her hands, beginning a set of front flips that brought her closer to the debris and Choji. In an impressive showing of gymnastics and physical strength, she built speed, becoming a blur before launching herself in the air toward the debris. "Hebunrīsō!" Hinata called as her spinning oval sliced through the debris and smashed directly into Choji's chest piece. Hinata cringed inwardly as she heard her chakra begin to shred through the metal as the large man stumbled back. She allowed her chakra to flux into a boom, making the large man stumble back. Revealing his chest piece having been cut open, barely hanging on. She could've ended the fight there, but it may have been the end of Choji.
Hinata wasted no time racing forward toward the off-guard man. As she drew close, however, Choji noticed and thrust a wild haymaker directly for her. Hinata merely hopped above the arm and raced up it, jabbing at chakra points wildly as she drew closer to his face. The giant flung his arm, attempting to whip her off, but only for Hinata to leap directly at his face. Again, she flipped through the air and called out again. "Kaiten!" This time, in midair, the standard Kaiten was used. As spun through the air the familiar dome of chakra burst around her and smashed into Choji's face. Breaking the giant's nose and making him fall to his knees. Hinata landed into a roll and as she stood formed the hand signs for her Precise Beam as she spun on her heels.
"Gentle Fist: Chakra Pathway Total Shutdown!" Hinata screamed as her narrow beam of chakra cut through the air. The beam burnt the clothing and skin as the chakra pierced his body and attempted to shut down pathways. Hinata did not merely stop with one though she spun and allowed the beam to lash Choji multiple times.
Choji roared in pain as he raised his arm to block most of the beam. Hinata grits her teeth but, not wanting to cause permanent damage, ceases her technique. Her beam was powerful and exposed contact at a singular point could cause gnarly damage…
Giant sighed in pain as the arm he used to block her beam fell uselessly. His split armor creaked loudly as several of the straps chest piece now entirely fell off, leaving his normal shirt exposed. 'He's open!' Hinata thought. Her body flickered within his range as her eyes glowed. She prepared herself to use the only technique at her disposal that could defeat a giant without causing him great harm.
"One palm!" Hinata cried, smashing her fingers into chakra points away from his vital organs. Choji bothered to chuckle at such, confident his hardy body could tank the attack. Indeed, the original Choji would've been wise enough to realize that letting a Hyuga land strikes was foolish. "Two palms, four palms, eight palms!" Hinata cried. Choji's laugh cut off at the eight jab, a gasp of air escaping in its place. Hinata felt a tinge of guilt as she relentlessly continued her combo. "Sixteen palms," it now was a pained wheeze, "Thirty-two palms," A short scream as Hinata finished her combo. "Eight Trigrams: Sixty-Four Palms!" Hinata cried. The giant wheezed as he fell he attempted to back up. However he could not and instead Choji breathlessly collapsed as his body slowly shrunk; the giant became the size of an average person. Choji was seemingly defeated…
Hinata panted as she recovered from the brief but intense bout. She allowed herself to fall to her knees and deactivate her Byakugan. It hadn't been easy, but Choji would surely be down for a while. The Sixty Four Palms was a powerful technique designed to take down humans with ease. Once she had collected herself, she rose to her feet and approached the prone Choji slowly and cautiously. She heard him quietly mumbling to himself as she got within earshot.
