Neji Hyuga was more talented than Hinata Hyuga and was a year older, so he learned both the Byakugan and Gentle Fist first.
But in just one summer vacation, Hinata Hyuga had already caught up with him, which was simply incomprehensible.
"This is a youthful showdown between taijutsu ninjas!"
Naruto Uzumaki was so excited watching that he couldn't wait to join in and have a three-way battle.
As for why Hinata Hyuga became so strong, his mind went blank, and he simply chose to ignore it.
A chilling aura emanated from the scene.
Sakura Haruno subconsciously turned her head and saw Sasuke Uchiha activate his Sharingan.
Judging from his serious expression, he must have sensed that this was a tricky situation.
"Sasuke-kun, who do you think will win?"
Sakura Haruno asked curiously.
"Hard to say."
Sasuke Uchiha paused for a moment, then said, "But Hinata has a better chance of winning."
"why?"
Shino Aburame adjusted her glasses and said, "I feel that Neji has the advantage in experience and physical strength."
"Because of my eyes."
Sasuke Uchiha smiled slightly and said confidently, "I saw it very clearly; Hinata completely followed Neji's movements."
"The Sharingan possesses powerful insight."
Nara Shikamaru chimed in, "Since Sasuke says so, then Hinata definitely has a higher chance of winning."
"That's good."
Yamanaka Ino felt much more at ease.
Compared to Neji Hyuga in Class 2-A, she naturally supported Hinata Hyuga, her classmate with whom she had a good relationship.
"Sasuke-kun must be right!"
Sakura Haruno's eyes immediately lit up with hearts.
"..."
Uchiha Sasuke suddenly felt less confident again.
Please don't say anything more!
"That's not necessarily true."
Tenten looked at them and said, "Neji hasn't shown his true strength yet!"
"That can't be, right?"
Kiba Inuzuka was stunned for a moment, feeling a sense of disbelief.
We've already fought to this point, and you're telling me I didn't use my full strength?
Is that correct?
Am I attending a ninja academy?
Why are there such outrageous classmates?
Kiba Inuzuka was suddenly filled with deep doubt.
"They have temporarily ended the battle."
Sasuke Uchiha's words stopped everyone's discussion and they all looked at the two people in the room.
"You've made great progress."
Hyuga Neji created some distance and, catching his breath, said...
It was more than just a big change; he felt that Hinata Hyuga had become a completely different person, undergoing a radical transformation.
Is this still the Hinata Hyuga he knows?
It's hard to see the fear and tension she once had in her anymore.
"Neji-nii-nii."
Hinata Hyuga took this opportunity to say what she hadn't finished saying earlier: "I only realized that fate can be changed after I met Kitazawa-sensei."
"absurd!"
Hyuga Neji sneered and said, "What does a ninja academy teacher say about changing fate? Hinata, your fate of defeat is unchangeable!"
He raised his hands, adopting the starting stance of the Soft Fist · Bagua Sixty-Four Palms.
Hinata Hyuga felt a sudden tightness in her chest when she saw the familiar starting stance.
But she quickly relaxed because she had Kitazawa's guidance.
She felt she wouldn't lose to Hyuga Neji in Gentle Fist: Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four Palms.
"Is this the Soft Fist - Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four Palms?"
Hiashi Hyuga, perched in the tree, suddenly widened his eyes.
Although he didn't pay attention to Hyuga Neji's peeping while he was usually practicing boxing, he never expected that Hyuga Neji would be able to learn it.
Gentle Fist: Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four Palms is a secret technique of the Hyuga clan's main family.
Since it's a secret technique, it won't be easy.
He couldn't imagine that Hyuga Neji could master Gentle Fist: Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four Palms by simply stealing knowledge without any instruction.
Hiashi Hyuga's expression turned serious.
He wanted to see just how much Hyuga Neji had actually learned.
Hinata Hyuga struck the same pose.
The chakra within her body began to surge, causing a change in her aura.
Hyuga Neji was immediately surprised upon seeing this.
But then she thought about it again, and realized that it would be strange if she, as the head of the family, hadn't learned the Soft Fist and the Sixty-Four Palms of Bagua.
"Hinata, I'll show you the difference between us."
Hyuga Neji said in a deep voice, "Just like the fate of the main family and the branch family, it cannot be changed."
I will defeat you!
Hinata Hyuga said without fear, "Fate is just your excuse!"
"What do you know?"
Upon hearing the word 'excuse,' Hyuga Neji suddenly roared in anger.
Please enlighten me.
Hinata Hyuga suddenly stepped forward and struck two pressure points on his body with both palms.
But the next second, Hyuga Neji met him with the same two palms.
A massive amount of chakra roared out.
Hinata Hyuga felt her body stiffen and involuntarily took a half step back.
In terms of chakra, she is indeed inferior to Hyuga Neji.
After all, they are young.
"This is your destiny!"
Seeing this, Hyuga Neji unleashed an even more powerful burst of chakra.
With palm strike after palm strike, waves of chakra surged, creating a series of whistling sounds between his palms.
Although every palm strike was blocked, Hinata Hyuga appeared to be in grave danger under his powerful offensive.
"Neji is going to win!"
Tian Tian's eyes lit up, and she said excitedly.
"Is Hinata really going to lose?"
A look of worry appeared on Yamanaka Ino's face.
"A one-year gap is still difficult to overcome."
Kiba Inuzuka said in a deep voice, "But Hinata has done very well, and she was just a little short of winning."
"uncertain."
Uchiha Sasuke realized that Hyuga Neji's so-called advantage was based on his chakra superiority.
"Hinata! Go for it!"
Naruto Uzumaki shouted loudly.
Now that he's the class monitor, he naturally has to fully support his classmates.
Inspired by him, many students in Class 1A started cheering for Hinata Hyuga.
"A futile effort!"
Hearing the cheers, Hyuga Neji took a deep breath and said, "It's time to end this, Hinata!"
His movements changed, and his palms poured out like flowing water.
In the blink of an eye, the first eight palms of the Soft Fist Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four Palms were unleashed in one go.
wrong!
Hyuga Neji's eyes widened.
He thought Hinata Hyuga could only block five or six of his attacks at most, but she blocked them all.
Hinata Hyuga, her face tense, unleashed her ninth and tenth palm strikes.
He slapped both palms onto Hyuga Neji's chest.
"Fate can't decide anything."
Hinata Hyuga looked at him and said earnestly.
"..."
Hyuga Neji took two steps back and spat out blood.
"Neji-nii-san, are you alright?"
Hinata Hyuga panicked upon seeing this, as she hadn't expected her two palm strikes to be so powerful.
She quickly stepped forward and helped Hyuga Neji up, then subconsciously looked at Kitazawa.
"He's fine."
Kitazawa stepped forward, placed his hand on Hyuga Neji's chest, and cast a healing jutsu.
Although he vomited blood, it was actually only a minor injury.
After all, Hinata Hyuga was only six years old, and she unconsciously held back, so it wasn't as serious as people imagined.
Of course, for Hyuga Neji, the psychological blow was far greater than the physical injury.
Hinata Hyuga, whom he had always regarded as a defeated opponent, defeated him, and defeated him fair and square.
Why is this happening?
Neji Hyuga always believed that his talent surpassed Hinata Hyuga's.
Moreover, he opened his eyes earlier and learned the Soft Fist earlier, giving him an early advantage, but he still lost to her in the end.
Doesn't this mean that Hinata Hyuga is the one with real talent?
The students in Class A of Grade 2 looked at each other in bewilderment.
Losing to Kurama Yakumo can be seen as a case of taijutsu ninjas being countered by genjutsu ninjas.
But there is no excuse for losing to Hinata Hyuga.
