Roll your eyes, open!
Hinata Hyuga tightened her small face and assumed a Gentle Fist stance.
She did not let her guard down.
Because Nara Shikamaru almost defeated Uchiha Sasuke earlier.
Kitazawa had trained her for so long, and she didn't want to stop at the second round.
Nara Shikamaru's lips twitched.
It looked like he was about to be killed any second.
If he had seen this situation before, he would have definitely given up immediately.
But now... it's still the same thing: for summer vacation!
Nara Shikamaru had a serious expression and threw out two kunai right at the start of the match.
At the same time, he retreated while forming hand seals.
But Hinata Hyuga did not dodge as he expected.
She dashed off in a straight line.
Just as the kunai was about to hit her, she struck with both hands, knocking the two kunai away with her palms.
When she reached Nara Shikamaru, she raised her hand again.
Shadow Imitation!
At the critical moment, Nara Shikamaru successfully unleashed his ninjutsu.
But the next second, Hinata Hyuga put two fingers together and tapped his wrist.
With its chakra blocked, the spreading shadow recoiled as if a snake had been struck at its vital point.
Hinata Hyuga moved very quickly, her five fingers together, and she struck out with her palm.
Unable to use chakra, Nara Shikamaru was slapped away and fell to the ground.
Hinata Hyuga stood there, not reacting.
Is it that simple?
She hadn't expected Nara Shikamaru to lose so quickly, nor had she expected her own strength to grow so powerful.
Hinata Hyuga was mainly unaware that Kitazawa possessed the fully mastered Gentle Fist: Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four Palms.
In addition, she also had a Jonin father, Hyuga Hiashi, to guide her.
In terms of progress, she is even more advanced than Nara Shikamaru.
"Hinata, you're amazing."
Nara Shikamaru got up, dusted himself off, and said.
"Hinata seems much stronger than in the previous friendly match."
Yamanaka Ino asked with envy, "Is this the Byakugan of the Hyuga clan?"
Although they are both ninja clans, the clans specializing in secret techniques are far inferior to the clans specializing in bloodline limits.
"Everyone is getting stronger."
Choji Akimichi scratched his head and asked curiously, "Is Kitazawa-sensei's training really that effective?"
"Very useful!"
Yamanaka Ino immediately turned into a fangirl and said, "Moreover, Kitazawa-sensei has a very wide range of knowledge, and can even give some pointers on secret techniques."
"That's true."
Nara Shikamaru changed the subject, saying, "It's just quite tough."
Whether it was shadow carving or real combat training, it all tormented him.
Hinata Hyuga first nodded in agreement, then shook her head.
She agreed with the first half of Nara Shikamaru's statement, but disagreed with the second half.
"I don't find it hard at all."
Naruto scratched his head and said, "If you have time, you can also participate in Guy-sensei's training."
"What kind of training does Teacher Kai provide?"
Choji Akimichi asked in confusion.
"It's very simple."
Naruto Uzumaki replied, "I'll get up at five o'clock, run thirty laps around Konoha Village, then do pull-ups, frog jumps, and handstands..."
"???"
Akimichi Choji broke out in a cold sweat upon hearing this.
"Is this training even possible for a human?"
Yamanaka Ino stared in disbelief and asked.
She felt she couldn't keep up the training for even half a day, starting at five in the morning and continuing until nine at night.
"Your progress is certainly commendable."
After hearing this, Sakura Haruno's opinion of Naruto Uzumaki changed drastically.
She had always felt that he was too loud and boisterous, far less calm and handsome than Uchiha Sasuke.
But after hearing about this inhuman training, she had nothing to say but admiration.
Upon hearing this, Uchiha Sasuke felt the phantom pain.
He has been training with Might Guy and Naruto Uzumaki during this period.
However, he can usually only complete one-third, or at most half, of the training.
Naruto Uzumaki always manages to complete his tasks on time and in the required quantity.
That's why Sasuke Uchiha considered him his greatest rival.
But unexpectedly, Nara Shikamaru almost caused him to crash and burn.
"Please come up if you drew number four."
After Kitazawa finished scoring, he shouted.
"It's my turn!"
Sakura Haruno subconsciously looked at Sasuke Uchiha, her face showing anticipation.
Unfortunately, she was destined to receive no response.
Uchiha Sasuke was thinking about how to deal with Hinata Hyuga if he encountered her.
He lost to Neji Hyuga before, so it would be too embarrassing for him to lose to Hinata Hyuga as well.
"Go for it, Sakura!"
Yamanaka Ino, Nara Shikamaru, and others spoke up.
"Wait, who is my opponent?"
Sakura Haruno glanced around and found that everyone was cheering her on.
"it's me."
Shino Aburame adjusted her glasses and said.
"...?"
Sakura Haruno immediately paled.
The thought of those densely packed black insects gave her goosebumps.
I surrender!
Sakura Haruno said without hesitation.
Not to mention that she's afraid of parasites, even if they really fought, she wouldn't be a match for Shino Aburame.
Most importantly, although she participated in Kitazawa's training, she learned medical ninjutsu, which did not increase her combat strength at all.
"The winner is Shino Aburame."
Kitazawa was not surprised by Sakura Haruno's choice.
In fact, due to the special nature of medical ninjas, the vast majority of ninjas are very tolerant of them.
In battle, prioritizing the protection of medical ninjas has become an established rule.
"Student number five is here."
Kitazawa shouted again.
"Looks like I'm the luckiest one!"
Yamanaka Ino said with a big smile.
Uchiha Sasuke and Nara Shikamaru, who are from ninja clans, have all made appearances.
The only commoner genius, Sakura Haruno, has also sparred with him.
Her opponent was a very ordinary little girl.
Yamanaka Ino remembered her; her grades were decent, in the middle range, but compared to her, they were far inferior.
She walked onto the stage, greeted everyone, and then formed a mudra with her hands.
Two clones appeared.
Three Yamanaka Ino rushed up.
The little girl was flustered for a moment, and was eventually hit by a punch and admitted defeat.
"Twenty-minute break, then we'll begin the third round, which is also the final round of this practical exam."
Kitazawa announced, "Only students who achieve a combined score of 90 or above in the first two rounds will be eligible to advance to the third round."
"The students who have advanced to the third round are Uchiha Sasuke, Uzumaki Naruto, Aburame Shino, Yamanaka Ino, Hyuga Hinata, and Nara Shikamaru."
Umino Iruka then read it aloud.
"It's finally going to end."
Nara Shikamaru sighed and said.
"But you've made it to the third round, so you still have to play one more match."
Choji Akimichi nudged him and said.
Although his performance was not bad, he did not have any ninja clan secret techniques, so he did not advance to the third round.
Sakura Haruno was similar to him; because she was a medical ninja, she was taken away by Kitazawa.
Kiba Inuzuka possesses a secret technique, but without a suitable dog, his strength is greatly diminished. Furthermore, after losing two matches in a row, he was not selected.
"I have no choice."
Nara Shikamaru said helplessly, "I have a reason why I have to go."
"Sasuke!"
Naruto Uzumaki exclaimed excitedly, "In the name of my youth, first place is mine!"
You still have a long way to go.
Uchiha Sasuke clenched his fist.
For the glory of the Uchiha clan, he must win first place.
Hinata Hyuga looked at Kitazawa, thinking to herself that she absolutely could not let Kitazawa-sensei's training down.
