I rely on myself

Chapter 712: Soft Fist

After sending Uchiha Sasuke away, Xin said to Lie, "Is this okay? Although I am a commoner, I know that for the ninja clan that inherits the Blood Limit through blood, other clan members are not allowed to wander outside. This is to prevent the Blood Limit of the clan from being passed down. Am I right?"

“Isn’t the answer to this question obvious?”

Facing the curious looks from his companions, Lie did not hide his feelings and replied directly: "If the Uchiha clan six years ago might still care about this kind of thing, but now they can't care so much."

"Since the night of the genocide, although our Uchiha clan survived, more than one or two people died. In fact, most of the surviving masters were ordinary civilians. Moreover, it was only in the past few years in the Snow Country and with the care of Lord Lin Yuan that we were able to recover a little. The same situation is also the Mizunotsuki clan, right, Jun."

When Lie was talking about the situation of his own clan, he also used the Mizunotsuki clan as an example. Seeing the topic being shifted to himself, although Jun was somewhat caught off guard, he still continued the topic.

"Well, the situation is indeed similar, but our clan is even worse off. Now there are only a dozen people left. Under this situation, even Elder Hui, who has always been an old-fashioned man, no longer adheres to the original clan rules, including not allowing unauthorized marriage with outsiders. After all, compared to impure blood, passing on the clan's bloodline is more important.

Of course, we young people feel more relaxed about this, but once someone reaches adulthood, the elders will rush to the door to urge marriage, which is very frustrating. The Uchiha clan should be in a similar situation. "

"Ah, that's true. Compared to the Mizunotsuki clan, the situation of our Uchiha clan is much better, but the clan rules have also been relaxed. Or maybe after that night, the clan is more concerned about the survival of the clan than the bloodline. In addition, Uchiha Sasuke's situation is complicated, so the clan chooses to ignore his existence."

Rei described the current situation of the Uchiha clan and expressed their views on Uchiha Sasuke, the former second young master.

After hearing what I said, the others looked at each other and felt a headache, not knowing what to say, so they all tacitly put the matter behind them and focused on the first competition that was about to begin.

It just so happened that it was the first competition at this time, and the referee Genma Shiranui had just given the signal to start the competition.

As soon as Genma Shiranui finished his opening words, Naruto immediately used his signature ninjutsu, Shadow Clone Technique, creating a large number of shadow clones, which rushed towards his opponent, Hyuga Neji, like a swarm of bees.

The reason why Naruto made such a big fuss at the beginning was not only because it was the Chunin Exam and he wanted to prove himself in front of many people, but also because he had some conflicts with his opponent.

As early as a month ago, during the second round of exams, in the competition between Neji and Hinata, Naruto was displeased with Neji for being so ruthless to Hinata despite the fact that they were both Konoha ninjas and even from the same clan. He even rushed up to argue with him. Naturally, Neji was not the kind of person who would not fight back when being beaten. The two quarreled and naturally parted unhappily in the end.

Now that there was a chance to fight directly, Naruto naturally came up without holding back and used all his strength. On the other side, Neji looked at Naruto and his shadow clones rushing towards him without any fear, and directly assumed the starting stance of the soft fist.

The soft fist, as the signature skill of the Hyuga clan, is naturally very powerful. Different from mainstream physical skills, the power of the soft fist is reflected in its penetrating ability. It may seem like a light touch, and there is no trace on the surface, but in fact the attack goes straight into the human body and hits the fragile internal organs.

Because of this characteristic, in the previous Ninja World War, the Hyuga clan gained considerable fame with their Byakugan and Gentle Fist. Neji started practicing Gentle Fist since he was a child, so his strength should not be underestimated.

Facing the siege of everyone's shadow clones, he moved forward and backward freely, dodging all attacks. At the same time, every counterattack that seemed to be a light touch would blow up one of Naruto's shadow clones. It didn't take long for the fight to see most of Naruto's shadow clones destroyed.

"hateful!"

Seeing that his shadow clones were about to be destroyed, Naruto naturally would not just stand there and watched. He quickly formed a seal and wanted to perform the shadow clone technique again, but this scene was exactly what Neji expected to see. Or rather, Neji had long anticipated that when the number of shadow clones was reduced to a certain level, Naruto would definitely perform the shadow clone technique again and create new shadow clones. This was an open conspiracy. Neji had opened his Byakugan early on just to find Naruto's true body at this time and give him a winning blow.

"Got you!"

As he spoke, Neji stepped hard on the ground, and using the reaction force he instantly burst out at an astonishing speed. He rushed in front of Naruto and knocked him away with a heavy blow.

Looking at Naruto's figure that was knocked several meters away and fell to the ground, Neji smiled confidently.

"Won……"

"boom!"

Before Neji could finish his words, Naruto, who was knocked flying, suddenly exploded and turned into a cloud of smoke that gradually dissipated. This was the appearance of his shadow clone being destroyed.

"What? It's a shadow clone! Could it be that guy..."

"That's exactly what happened!"

Looking at the shadow clone that turned into smoke and dissipated, Neji suddenly had a guess in his mind. Before he could finish, Naruto's voice came from behind him and confirmed his idea.

Neji quickly turned around and took a closer look, only to see that several Narutos were rushing towards him, and there was no way to hide in this situation.

Although he was somewhat unwilling to see this, Neji had no choice but to use his trump card. His body suddenly spun at high speed like a top. At the same time, a large amount of chakra gushed out from various acupuncture points throughout his body and spun at high speed along with Neji's movements.

"Back to the days!"

The high-speed swirling chakra turned into an indestructible barrier as if it had substance, and at the same time it also had amazing counterattack power. In just a moment of contact, Naruto and his shadow clones who were rushing over were all bounced away.

All the shadow clones were destroyed instantly, and even Naruto's real body was severely bounced away by the counterattack force. Looking at Naruto who was in mid-air and unable to avoid it, Neji thought to himself, "Good opportunity."

The moment Neji stopped, he rushed out, caught up with Naruto, and took a stance, saying, "You are already in my Bagua field. There is no way to escape. Take it. Soft Fist: Bagua Sixty-four Palms!"

Neji used his hands to strike Naruto at different positions on his body in rapid succession. In just one second, a full sixty-four strikes landed on Naruto's body without missing a single one.
