Chapter 55 Social Death Threat
Hyuga Neji was going crazy!
This posture… it was simply too humiliating!
What made him even more frantic was that, with his keen hearing and sight, he had already seen and heard the audience in the stands cheering loudly and applauding him loudly!
They thought he had actively caught the opponent's sword with his bare hands.
The louder the applause, the more embarrassed he felt.
And… who catches an opponent's treasured sword while kneeling?
Hyuga Neji struggled to raise his head, "What's going on with this move of yours?"
Kizaru's face showed a smug smile, "This move of mine is called [One Hundred Percent Caught Barehanded], as the name suggests, this sword of mine, as long as it's swung at an opponent, the opponent will one hundred percent kneel down, put their hands together, and catch it barehanded! This is the strongest control swordsmanship."
Hyuga Neji's face was filled with shock; how could such swordsmanship, no, evil arts, exist in this world!
This Ninjutsu, which disregarded strength and consumed no Chakra, was practically like a cheat; could it be that even Hokage-sama would be affected by this Ninjutsu?
"So, have you decided yet, do you want to surrender?" Kizaru's expression was relaxed.
"Surrendering is absolutely impossible, just make your move!" Hyuga Neji closed his eyes, resigned to his fate.
"Not surrendering, huh? I'll make you surrender even if you don't want to!" Kizaru's sword tip slightly lifted.
Hyuga Neji felt the restraint on his body suddenly lighten; without time to wonder why, he flew up, his Kunai stabbing directly at Kizaru's throat, "Carelessness at any time will cost you your life, this is how Ninja battle!"
Kizaru's mouth twisted into a crooked smile, changing to a different kind of wry grin, "Is that so? Monster, take this!"
Clang!
Hyuga Neji once again knelt on both knees, put his hands together, and caught the blade barehanded.
"Ah!" Hyuga Neji cried out miserably, his mind greatly impacted; this illogical move made him want to bite the guy in front of him.
At the same time, the voices from the stands came at the opportune moment.
"Wow, the young man from the Hyuga clan is amazing, he actually blocked the opponent's sharp sword with both hands!"
"As expected of the Hyuga clan, their strength is terrifying…"
"Blond brat, surrender quickly, your swordsmanship is completely useless."
"The young man from the Hyuga clan is indeed quick-witted, always able to easily catch the opponent's treasured sword, but this posture…"
"Yeah, why is this posture so strange!"
"Why does he kneel to catch the opponent's treasured sword?"
…The myriad of voices entered Hyuga Neji's ears; he felt like dying.
If people knew the truth about him catching the sword barehanded, he would never be able to hold his head high in the Ninja World for the rest of his life.
"How about it? Still not surrendering?" Kizaru's face was full of teasing smiles, "If you don't surrender, and I do this a few more times, those unsuspecting spectators in the stands will start to notice…"
Hyuga Neji gritted his teeth, clenched his fists, veins bulging; he hated his powerlessness, hated that he couldn't escape the control of the main family, hated the Caged Bird Seal, hated that he couldn't even block a casual attack from the guy in front of him; he was, after all, just a caged bird, he slowly raised one hand, "I surrender!"
Kizaru was stunned; he hadn't even released One Hundred Percent Caught Barehanded yet, and the opponent was able to raise one hand through sheer willpower; this little guy was not simple, but ironically, his strongest will was used to surrender.
Sure enough, did his words just now disturb his mind?
Social death, truly terrifying… Kizaru sighed, gaining a new understanding of One Hundred Percent Caught Barehanded.
When this move was released, it was true that everyone would fall for it, unconsciously kneeling on both knees, putting their hands together to catch the blade barehanded, but the subsequent control still depended on the opponent's will.
Kizaru understood, instantaneous absolute control, but whether continuous control was possible depended on the opponent's resistance (willpower)?
Even so, it was still a divine skill~
He wondered what kind of power the advanced version, [Group One Hundred Percent Caught Barehanded], would have? Truly… he looked forward to it.
Unfortunately, the advanced version required him to use [One Hundred Percent Caught Barehanded] on tens of thousands of individuals stronger than himself to unlock its cultivation.
Kizaru gave up immediately after learning about this prerequisite!
His current strength had recovered quite a bit, but where would he find tens of thousands of people stronger than him? The entire Ninja Worldprobably didn't have that many; wasn't this just a scam!
Moreover, with such difficult conditions, it would be better if it directly unlocked the skill, but it only unlocked the cultivation method for the skill, and he still had to cultivate it himself… completely pointless.
The surrendering Hyuga Neji also came to his senses; he had broken free from the opponent's control, but he used it to surrender.
The shocked gazes from the stands, the earth-shattering clamor, all seemed to mock him.
He left the arena with a gloomy face, and at the same time, he made up his mind.
If he got the chance, he would definitely humiliate this kid!
However, a long-held obsession in his heart also inexplicably broke: it turned out he could break free from control with his own will. Could the Caged Bird Seal also… Hyuga Neji, who had always believed in fate, for the first time felt that he might be able to break the shackles of fate.
Once the shackles in his heart were released, his entire being became more cheerful, his objections to the Hyuga main family lessened, and even… he gained ideas for the development and cultivation of [Eight Trigrams Empty Palm]!
A smile unconsciously appeared on his face~
Tenten in the stands was startled, "Neji can smile too? This is the first time I've seen it, so sunny and handsome, today is truly a good day~"
Kizaru was a bit confused by this guy's thought process; he surrendered in such a humiliating way, yet he was smiling so brightly, was there something wrong with this Byakugan boy?
Could he be a… submissive?
Not thinking about those messy things, since he had already won, Kizaru quickly walked out of the arena and went to the stands.
The next match seemed to be Dosu versus Kiba… but where had this Otogakure Ninja, who defied both heaven and earth, gone? Why wasn't he to be seen?
Passed the preliminaries, but not coming to the finals?
What's wrong with this guy?
What Kizaru didn't know was that this suicidal guy had privately provoked Gaara and was directly killed.
Due to the long absence of the contestant, Kiba directly won and then also came to the stands, he glanced at Naruto, "I'm so unlucky today!"
"Unlucky?" Kizaru didn't quite understand, winning a match without effort, was such a good thing called unlucky?
"Don't you understand? This match isn't decided by victory or defeat for passing the exam, but by performance during the match. My opponent didn't even show up, so what performance am I supposed to have?!"
Hmm, that seems to make a lot of sense~
However, if possible, Kizaru still didn't want to make a move, purely out of laziness~
And he didn't have any obsession with being a Chunin.
Genin or Chunin, as long as his strength was heaven-defying, even the Hokage would have to bow down to him!
