I teach in Naruto, and the system says I am Tsunade's student

Chapter 131 Hinata Hyuga's Victory (First and Second Updates)

Although Hinata Hyuga has changed somewhat, Neji Hyuga sees no difference.

A change in personality does not necessarily mean a change in ability.

Hyuga Neji didn't hesitate any longer and immediately activated his Byakugan.

As the meridians around his eyes bulged, he flashed in front of Hinata Hyuga.

His expression was calm and collected. He gathered chakra in his palms and struck out at her vital points.

Hinata Hyuga was slightly taken aback.

She felt that Neji Hyuga was slower than before.

She couldn't see his movements clearly when they were sparring before, but now she can see them perfectly.

No, it's not that he slowed down, it's that she became faster and stronger.

In the blink of an eye, Hinata Hyuga struck his wrists with both palms from bottom to top.

Neji Hyuga's pupils involuntarily contracted.

How can it be so fast?
He struck first, but Hinata Hyuga struck first despite being the one who attacked first.

Although Hyuga Neji was surprised, he reacted quickly.

With a flick of his wrist, he met Hinata Hyuga's palms.

The two streams of chakra collided.

They each took half a step back.

"Hinata is no longer the Hinata she used to be."

Hiashi Hyuga, who was hiding in a tree not far away, nodded with great satisfaction.

The first round of the battle seemed evenly matched, but he knew that Hinata Hyuga had gained a slight advantage.

This means that their strength has reached the same level.

This was something Hyuga Hikaru never dared to imagine before.

"Amazing!"

Lee Rock's face showed an eager expression.

"Hinata has become this strong?"

Learn about Hyuga Neji's style every day.

Once they start, they launch a continuous offensive; if it stops, it means they've encountered trouble.

The students in Class A of Grade 2 were completely dumbfounded.

In their minds, Hyuga Neji was invincible.

Unless you encounter a monster like Kurama Yakumo with both mechanics and stats.

Hinata Hyuga couldn't help but feel a surge of joy.

In their previous matches, she was always at a disadvantage from start to finish, with no chance to fight back.

But now I finally don't feel that oppressive feeling anymore.

"You have indeed become much stronger."

Hyuga Neji was silent for two seconds before slowly speaking.

"Neji-nii-san, I..."

Hinata Hyuga was interrupted halfway through her sentence.

"But our fates were already sealed from birth."

Neji Hyuga said expressionlessly, "Your talent is inferior to mine, and no matter how hard you try to catch up, you will never be able to beat me."

"not like this."

Hinata quickly shook her head and said, "Although I used to think so too..."

"It's no use talking more."

Hyuga Neji lunged forward again, unleashing a double palm strike.

A visible wave of chakra was generated, and a muffled sound filled the air.

Clearly, Hyuga Neji used his full strength this time.

The excessive chakra compresses the air, creating a visually striking effect.

Hinata Hyuga felt a jolt in her heart, sensing the same Neji Hyuga from before.

Both her talent and her ability left her in despair.

But... Hinata glanced at Kitazawa not far away, and her heart calmed down again.

She worked hard all summer so that she could stand in front of Hyuga Neji today.

Hinata Hyuga's eyes were resolute as she stood still and met the attack with both palms.

Chakra clashed, and wave after wave of energy burst forth from where the two men's palms met.

Neji Hyuga's expression changed slightly.

Did he receive all of his efforts?
Hinata Hyuga has seen a significant improvement in both strength and speed.

No, there's also the proficiency in soft boxing.

Hinata Hyuga used to have Gentle Fist techniques that were full of flaws, but now there are no flaws to be found.

Hyuga Neji's gaze darkened, and he continued his attack.

In an instant, the two figures intertwined.

Both sides continued to strike, and a series of crisp sounds rang out.

"too strong!"

Kiba Inuzuka was dazzled by what he saw.

He felt he couldn't keep up with the two people's movements at all, and could only see afterimages.

"Is Kitazawa-sensei's special training really that outrageous?"

Kiba Inuzuka felt a sense of disbelief.

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 the case."

Tenten looked at them and said, "Neji hasn't shown his true strength yet!"

"Isn't this possible?"

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 this right?
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'll beat 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 lunged forward, striking two pressure points on his body with both palms. But the next second, Neji Hyuga met her attack with the same 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.

"Useless move!"

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.

The same gentle punches, the same eye rolls—a loss is a loss, a win is a win.

"How can this be?"

Tenten finds it hard to accept that the ever-genius Hyuga Neji lost to Hyuga Hinata.

"Both of them are stronger than me. They truly deserve to be called geniuses of the Hyuga clan."

Lee Rock declared with high spirits, "I'm going to do thirty extra laps after school! Youth is all about hard work!"

"In just one summer vacation, Hinata's strength seems to have increased several times over."

"Shino Aburame said with a serious expression."

In the final exams of the previous semester, he fought against Hinata Hyuga and narrowly lost.

But after watching this match, he felt that if they played another match, the outcome would be hard to predict, and he might lose miserably.

"This is Kitazawa-sensei's special training!"

Yamanaka Ino remarked with emotion.

"Teacher Kitazawa is truly amazing!"

Naruto Uzumaki immediately echoed.

He learned the Multiple Shadow Clone Technique during the summer vacation, and his strength increased dramatically.

Although he wasn't entirely clear how earth-shattering the A-rank forbidden technique Kitazawa taught him was, he would make comparisons.

People like Mizuki and Iruka Umino, who are also teachers at the Ninja Academy, are far inferior to Kitazawa.

Nara Shikamaru hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but then stopped.

Although he wanted to complain that Kitazawa was too devilish, he had to admit that his special training was indeed very effective.

After another ten days or so of practice, he felt he could try to learn the second secret technique of the Nara clan.

"Indeed."

Sakura Haruno clenched her fist and said, "With Kitazawa-sensei's special training, we won't be any worse than Hinata!"

She followed Kitazawa every day to learn medical ninjutsu, and had long recognized his terrifying strength.

Is it really that good?

Kiba Inuzuka stroked his chin, seemingly lost in thought.

As far as he knew, Naruto Uzumaki and Sakura Haruno had both participated in Kitazawa's special training.

Indeed, just as they said, they have made great progress.

The only one I didn't pay much attention to was Akimichi Choji.

He has only one thought right now, which is to eat, eat, eat.

I'll beat Hinata Hyuga in the next eating contest.

Uchiha Sasuke's mouth twitched.

Special training is important, but ultimately it depends on individual talent.

Sasuke Uchiha snapped out of his daze and looked at Hinata Hyuga.

His original plan was to challenge Hyuga Neji after Neji won, in order to avenge his loss to him last semester.

But now that Hinata Hyuga has won, challenging the loser is not the style of the Uchiha clan.

However... he wasn't absolutely certain.

Before the two used Gentle Fist: Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four Palms, Uchiha Sasuke thought he could win.

After all, he has the Sharingan and can see their movements clearly.

However, Gentle Fist: Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four Palms is a high-level secret technique of the Hyuga clan, and he only saw half of the ten palms that Hinata Hyuga just used.

Kitazawa had told him to observe, think, and reflect more.

Sasuke Uchiha believed he needed to observe the situation a couple more times before he could be sure.

In short, let's play it safe for now.

He certainly didn't want his Sharingan to fail in its first battle.

This would not only disgrace the Uchiha clan, but also make it difficult for him to gain a foothold in the Ninja Academy.

On a tree not far away.

Hiashi Hyuga fell silent.

He never dreamed that Hyuga Neji would actually be able to steal and successfully learn the Gentle Fist: Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four Palms.

Moreover, in terms of progress, he was only two palms behind Hinata Hyuga.

It's worth noting that Hinata Hyuga had his guidance.

Hiashi Hyuga believed that no one understood Gentle Fist: Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four Palms better than him.

Without a doubt, Hyuga Neji is a super genius no less than Hyuga Hinata.

The Uchiha clan has Itachi Uchiha and Sasuke Uchiha, while the Hyuga clan has Hinata Hyuga and Neji Hyuga.

In terms of the number of geniuses, it was a rare tie.

Hiashi Hyuga thought back to Neji Hyuga's harsh words and thought to himself, "Hashi, I'm sorry."

Given the current situation, it is imperative to let Hyuga Neji know the truth about what happened back then.

With this in mind, Hiashi Hyuga made up his mind.

In his view, if Hinata Hyuga and Neji Hyuga work together, they will surely bring the Hyuga clan to new heights.

[Current Task: Help your classmate Hinata Hyuga defeat Neji Hyuga.]

[Mission Reward: Baguazhang - Reversal of Heaven]

[The host has completed the mission; reward issued.]

A large amount of information surfaced in Kitazawa's mind.

Baguazhang's "Return to Heaven" technique can be considered the ultimate secret art of soft fist, and is known as absolute defense.

Its effect is to form a hemispherical protective shield from the ground to the entire body, and to deflect physical attacks.

The actual principle is to release a large amount of chakra from the chakra points in the body and then spin it like a top.

Of course, what is generally called absolute defense is not truly absolute defense.

For example, Gaara's Sand Shield.

Even so, Baguazhang's "Returning to Heaven" technique is not bad.

Dealing with most ninjas wouldn't be a problem.

In particular, it can be considered the nemesis of taijutsu ninjas.

"Return to your lines and prepare for class."

Kitazawa paused for a moment, then said, "Neji, come find me later."

Hyuga Neji looked up blankly, not understanding why he was being asked to go find him.

But Kitazawa didn't explain anything further to him.

Seeing this, Hyuga Neji returned to Class 2-A in silence.

"rather……"

Hinata Hyuga hesitated, as if she wanted to say something but then stopped herself.

Although she was happy to have defeated Hyuga Neji, she also felt guilty seeing him so distraught.

"fine."

Kitazawa patted her head and said, "Leave it to me."

Hinata Hyuga is too young to realize Neji Hyuga's real problem.
