"
Soon, timid Hinata walked onto the stage.
She looked towards the stands and saw Sasuke smiling at her, which reassured her.
"I never thought you would be my opponent."
Neji rolled his eyes at her and continued.
"Honestly, with your personality Hinata, you are not suitable to be a ninja at all."
"You are not confident in yourself, let alone completing the mission with the team members after becoming Chūnin. I think you should give up..."
"enough!"
Hinata raised her head sharply, interrupting Neji's argument.
She began to recall Sasuke's encouragement and guidance in her mind.
"I... want to prove that I am a qualified ninja."
Hinata said with firm eyes.
"I will definitely become a qualified heir to Hyuga!"
She added silently in her mind.
"Okay, in that case, let me see your strength!"
Hyuga Neji stopped talking nonsense and opened his eyes suddenly.
The network of meridians around his eyes stood out, opening his white eyes.
Hinata assumed a Gentle Fist fighting stance, also turning on her Byakugan.
Following Moonlight Gale's command, the two quickly launched an attack.
The two gathered Chakra in their hands and constantly used Gentle Fist to attack each other, looking for each other's weaknesses.
Sasuke watched silently.
The duel between Gentle Fists can be decided with one strike!
After all, Gentle Fist can penetrate the flesh and directly attack fragile internal organs.
Once caught, you will die if you are not careful.
A duel between Gentle Fist masters is like dancing on a tightrope, with victory and defeat often decided by a hair's breadth.
"Not bad, Hinata's attack pinned Neji down!"
Little Sakura said in surprise.
"Great, keep doing this, Hinata, you can win!"
Naruto cheered from the sidelines.
Sasuke noticed the clues and frowned slightly.
"Sure enough, there is still a big gap in strength between the two."
The two fought dozens of moves, and sweat broke out on Hinata's forehead.
Even breathing gradually became disordered.
Neji still took his time and responded to Hinata's attacks.
Suddenly, the two of them crossed paths.
Neji struck out with a palm, knocking Hinata away, and at the same time followed up and slapped her chest with a palm.
At the critical moment, Hinata only had time to put her hands in front of her chest before she was knocked away by a palm and fell heavily to the ground.
Blood flowed from the corner of her mouth and she stood up with difficulty.
"What, you want to continue?"
Hyuga Neji stared at Hinata and spoke.
Even though he didn't use his full strength in this attack, it was enough to defeat Hinata.
Hinata didn't reply, but still looked at him stubbornly.
Sasuke shook his head slightly, knowing that Neji still had a trick that he had yet to use.
Even if Hinata uses her full strength, it will be difficult for her to win.
And if she continues to fight, it will only increase the damage.
"Hinata, don't give up, you must win!"
Naruto encouraged him to die.
"Hey, forget it, Naruto, this kind of thing is Hinata's decision."
Before Sasuke finished speaking, Hinata had already rushed forward.
Neji gritted his teeth, and the image of his father flashed in his mind.
"Damn the Zong family, I'm going to make you pay the price!"
As they dodged, Neji blocked Hinata's attack and struck her in the abdomen with a heavy palm.
Hinata vomited blood and fell down.
"I...I can't lose, Sasuke, and everyone else, passed..."
Hinata struggled to get up.
"That's right, Hinata, stand up, you can defeat..."
"Shut up, Naruto!"
Naruto started to speak, but was interrupted by Sasuke!
"Listen, not everyone has hidden power like you."
Sasuke's words made Naruto startled.
He became the Nine Tails Jinchūriki, and as a descendant of the Uzumaki clan, he possesses a Sage Body.
Let Naruto be thick-skinned and extremely resilient, like a strong boy from Immune to Death.
Others are not as resistant to beatings as he is!
Not to mention, Gentle Fist is lethal enough to destroy internal organs!
Yuhi Hong looked worried, and she was about to stop him.
Sasuke flashed and appeared next to Hinata.
"Give up. It doesn't matter if you fall behind temporarily. You'll just come back to practice later."
Sasuke looked at Hinata and said.
"Yes, but I also want to..."
Hinata hesitated.
"Humph, Uchiha clan member, what qualifications do you have to interfere with our Hyuga clan?"
Hyuga Neji snorted coldly.
"Stop minding other people's business. How much do you know about the Hyuga clan?"
"You understand my hatred, get out of my way!"
Hyuga Neji roared.
"Hatred? My hatred is no less than yours, but I will not vent my anger on others!"
"If I were you, I would become stronger and stronger than everyone else in the Hyuga clan, and then, with my own hands, I would break the curse of the Hyuga clan with my own hands!"
Sasuke Sharingan appeared and said coldly.
"You...! Break...the curse?"
Hyuga Neji was stunned.
The image of my father couldn't help but come to mind.
"Yes, become stronger! I must surpass everyone!"
I want to prove to you...
Even Caged Bird has a moment when he breaks his shackles and soars into the sky!
Neji gritted his teeth and silently clenched his fists.
"That's right, being behind for a while doesn't mean anything. I will also become stronger..."
Hinata stood up and raised her hands to give up.
Upon seeing this, Neji turned around and left silently.
In the stands, Yuhi Hong smiled happily when she saw this.
"Uchiha Sasuke? What a gentle little guy."
Because of his appearance, Hinata did not continue to fight.
Although he was still injured, it was not serious.
You should be fine after resting for ten and a half days.
…
Soon, game nine.
Gaaravs Rock Lee!
Sasuke is full of expectations for this duel.
"I will record the power of Eight Inner Gates carefully."
Sasuke Sharingan emerged, looking excited.
This is an opportunity to experience the Eight Inner Gates up close!
"Understanding the Eight Inner Gates Formation, with my understanding, I don't know what I will gain."
He secretly expected it.
Gaara turned into a gust of sand and jumped off the stands.
He stared at Rock Lee with a gloomy expression, "Come down, it's our turn."
"Li, come on, let Sagakure see the strength of Konoha's blue beast!"
Might Guy held out his thumb and showed a confident smile.
"Yo Xi, Teacher Guy, I will definitely win!"
Rock Lee jumped and landed in front of Gaara.
"Humph, these two idiots have no idea of Gaara's strength!"
"That's right, poor Watermelon Head, he's lucky to be alive."
Temari and Kankuro sneered, they had full confidence in Gaara!"
