Chapter 77: Hyuga Clan
A bow?
Neji's mind subconsciously recreated the shape and structure of a bow.
An indescribable electric shock sensation quickly filled his body.
This caused him to stop in place before Zaku's Decapitating Airwaves arrived.
"Neji! Rock Lee, what are you doing?!"
Seeing this, Rock Lee couldn't help but shout, "Move!"
Might Guy, behind him, was also somewhat surprised.
Neji was the most worry-free among his students.
High talent, calm personality, no need to worry at all.
But what was going on today?
Hearing the sound, Neji suddenly slid backward.
The floor where he had just stood instantly cracked, and fragments flew in all directions.
"What's this? My attack is pretty strong. Is this the Hyuga Clan's top genius?"
Zaku showed a wild smile, "I don't think he's all that!"
Invisible Chakra materialized, and the sound created ripples.
Another Decapitating Airwaves.
Neji's feeling became clearer.
He could even see the material of the bow.
It was like an old hunter, intimately familiar with his bow.
But something seemed to be missing.
A breakthrough.
Something that could instantly release the unpleasantness within him.
Neji dodged another Decapitating Airwaves, then suddenly had an epiphany and shouted, "Trace on!"
Projection start!
His Chakra surged through his body.
The creation, reshaping, and formation of the bow were all done in one go.
Neji subconsciously gripped the black longbow in his hand.
Byakugan activated.
Zaku's every move was reflected in his vision.
Neji pinched the bowstring, pulling his right arm back with force.
An arrow instantly appeared.
The bowstring was like a crescent moon, the arrow like a startled swan.
Zaku was suddenly terrified.
The arrow, like lightning, pierced through his Decapitating Airwaves.
He rolled on the ground without any grace, narrowly avoiding it.
The sound flashed and disappeared, and the arrow embedded itself in the floor, trembling slightly.
When did a Ninja from the Hyuga Clan learn to use a bow?
Zaku looked puzzled.
The onlookers were also confused.
Throughout the Hyuga Clan's glorious history, there had never been any record of using bows and arrows.
Especially Neji's teammates, Rock Lee and Tenten.
"He actually kept it from us?"
Tenten's eyes widened.
"I didn't teach him that."
Might Guy noticed Kakashi looking at him and shook his head.
"Right."
Kakashi nodded.
If Might Guy knew how to use a bow, that would truly be like a sow climbing a tree.
In the eyes of this guy, who was full of youth, there were only fists.
Naruto knew that Shirou Emiya's Character Cardwas starting to take effect.
So the first ability he gained was Projection Magic?
Projection Magic, simply put, is the ability to replicate any item one has seen.
In a way, it's quite suitable for Neji, who has learned Eight Extremes Fist.
The battle in the arena continued.
But the tide of the attack had turned.
Neji stood in place.
Arrow after arrow, like a rainstorm, chased Zaku.
Zaku only had the strength to flee, with no ability to fight back, like a stray dog.
"Hmm, I've gotten used to the usage."
Neji's face was calm and unperturbed.
He took a deep breath.
Once again, he drew the bowstring to its fullest.
But the arrow was already different.
It was a sword.
The slender blade, combined with the spiral sword body, was very strange.
Even the knowledgeable Hiruzen Sarutobi found it unfamiliar.
He had never heard of a sword with such a shape.
Neji looked at Zaku.
Chakra circulated in an unprecedented way.
Fantasy Broken!
The Spiral Sword disappeared.
Only the bowstring continued to sway up and down.
Zaku's highly concentrated mind made him instinctively move backward.
But the next moment, the air around him twisted, turning into waves of air.
A red light expanded and bloomed.
With a bang!
Blood-colored wind waves, centered on the arena, spread frantically in all directions.
Neji's clothes and hair were swept high.
Accompanied by a cracking sound, dense cracks suddenly appeared on the walls inside the tower.
Gasps and exclamations of surprise rang out.
Naruto raised his hand to form a barrier, blocking the flying debris.
Might Guy, Gaara, Dosu, Asuma, and others made the same move.
Gaara's was an automatic sand shield.
But the look in his eyes towards Neji revealed excitement.
Very strong.
Even not being at the center of the explosion, he could feel the force on his sand shield.
"Does the Hyuga Clan actually have this technique?"
Hiruzen Sarutobi narrowed his eyes.
Hyuga Hiashi seemed to have kept a lot from him.
But since he was a loyal follower, he wouldn't break ties.
And Hinata, as the Hyuga Clan's eldest daughter, was a bit stunned.
Where did he learn that?
Naruto glanced at her.
After this series of actions, Hinata probably felt even more that she couldn't beat him, and Neji was the true genius.
It's okay, I'll give you a cheat.
He planned to use his remaining targeted draws.
Anyway, he currently had no needs, and his strength was sufficient.
The dust and smoke cleared.
Gekkō Hayate looked at the messy arena and couldn't find Zaku's body.
"Hyuga Neji wins! Starting the next match."
Hyuga Neji dispelled the bow in his hand and turned to leave.
But this time, he garnered everyone's attention.
The big screen rolled again.
Uzumaki Naruto vs. Dosu.
It wasn't Kiba and Akamaru, surprisingly.
That's good too.
Naruto thought that if Akamaru accidentally bit him and he got rabies, that would be very awkward.
Kurama would probably have to come online and take over.
After all, it cared about its reputation.
Naruto responded to Hinata's cheer and walked into the arena.
Dosu, with one eye bandaged and a slightly hunched body, was already waiting.
"Is your other eye blind?"
Naruto asked curiously.
Because in his previous life, he had heard countless rumors, such as the hidden eye of Six Paths Dosu actually being a Rinnegan, and so on.
"What do you mean?"
Dosu's face turned ugly.
You can't see such a big bandage? Are you blind or am I blind?
He exposed the wind holes on his arm, intending to teach this guy a harsh lesson.
"No meaning."
Naruto shrugged, glanced at Sasuke, opened his mouth, and spat out a huge fireball.
Then he turned and left.
The next moment, the flames exploded.
A true man never looks back at an explosion.
Sasuke curled his lips.
Someone is imitating my face, and someone is imitating my ball?
But this Great Fireball Technique far exceeded the power of the original.
Was it enhanced with Sage Mode? Or was the Chakra increased?
Naruto, like Neji, garnered the attention of the entire audience.
He glanced at Gaara.
Why does this guy look at everyone with such murderous intent?
Just wait for the third exam, he'll get a taste of the Iron Fist of Love.
The big screen continued matching.
Ino Yamanaka vs. Sakura Haruno.
Here it comes, Naruto's favorite part.
Beautiful girls fighting.
"Sasuke, who do you support?"
Naruto, in his mischief-making spirit, asked.
"No suspense, Sakura will win."
Sasuke cleverly avoided his question.
Naruto was a little surprised.
Today, Sasuke actually used his brain.
Rare.
But as he said, Sakura had improved too much, and Ino was completely no match.
Her secret technique was also countered by Sakura's dual personality.
After Sakura's victory, the big screen once again displayed names.
Gaara vs. Rock Lee.
Naruto frowned.
He quite admired Rock Lee.
But because of this battle, he was directly 'banned' for hundreds of episodes.
"Kurama, didn't you always say you were the big brother of the nine Tailed Beasts? It's time to show your true skills."
