Konoha: The Gu Master Creates the Hokage.

Chapter 180 Snow Woman Hinata Hyuga (Third and Fourth Updates)

"Break time is over, now the second round of the competition begins."

Half an hour later, Genma Shiranui appeared in front of the lottery box. He casually took out a slip of paper, which read, "Ino Yamanaka".

Yamanaka Ino felt a tremor in her heart, a little uneasy.

She wasn't confident of winning against any of the five opponents in the second round.

Especially Shiki Aburame and Sasuke Uchiha.

There was absolutely no hope of victory.

Even if she had Ido, it would still be the same.

"Uchiha Sasuke".

Genma Shiranui pulled out the second slip of paper.

"..."

The hope in Yamanaka Ino's eyes vanished.

If Aburame Shiki was the person she least wanted to meet, then Uchiha Sasuke was the second person she least wanted to meet.

While both utilize Yin Release techniques, the Sharingan far surpasses hers.

Furthermore, Uchiha Sasuke not only possesses the Sharingan, but also the swordsmanship of Hatake Sakumo and the lightning release of Hatake Kakashi.

"Give up."

Uchiha Sasuke said in a calm tone.

"No!"

Yamanaka Ino gritted her teeth and refused to speak.

Ido was given to her by Aburame Shiki.

She cannot flee without a fight.

Yamanaka Ino glanced at Aburame Shiki, and her face immediately hardened.

Seeing this, Sasuke Uchiha did not try to persuade him further.

He directly activated the three-tomoe Sharingan.

The most threatening thing to Yamanaka Ino is the secret technique passed down in the Yamanaka clan, the Mind Transfer Technique.

With Idu's blessing, this secret technique has become an enhanced version.

It's difficult for a regular genin to dodge.

But for Uchiha Sasuke, it was still too slow.

After the two clashed, Yamanaka Ino found herself in a predicament.

All her movements were exposed to the Sharingan.

Two minutes later, Yamanaka Ino looked at the sharp blade against her neck and had no choice but to admit defeat.

Sasuke Uchiha nodded slightly and put away the Lightning Fire Sword.

He turned to look at Yu Nu Zhihui, his eyes gleaming with eagerness.

It will be their turn soon.

"Zhihui-kun... I'm sorry."

Yamanaka Ino lowered her head and said.

The once-striking golden bangs, like the owner's mood, appeared lifeless.

"You've done a great job."

Yu Nu Zhihui reached out and touched her hair.

Upon sensing his movements, Yamanaka Ino was instantly revitalized, a happy smile spreading across her face.

"What about me?!"

Karin instinctively leaned towards Yamanaka Ino.

The two people collided and squeezed each other.

Yamanaka Ino's fair thighs and Karin's legs, clad in black stockings, were both taut.

"stop."

Aburame Shiki separated the two and pulled them to his side, saying, "Don't interfere with the Chunin Exams."

"For Zhihui's sake, I won't hold it against you."

Karin gave a soft hum, then happily hugged Aburame Shiki's arm.

Unfortunately, it happened in public.

Otherwise, she would have just clung to him.

Yamanaka Ino felt a warmth in her hand.

She looked at her left hand, which was being held by Yu Nu Zhihui.

In an instant, she forgot about Karin and only felt her face getting hot.

But she didn't let go; instead, she gripped it even tighter.

Oil Girl Zhihui subconsciously made a comparison.

Both girls' hands were fair, smooth, and soft.

Hinata Hyuga stood there, stunned.

She gripped the hem of her clothes tightly, a wave of panic washing over her.

Does Zhihui not want me anymore?

She started to have all sorts of wild thoughts.

On the high platform.

Gaara suddenly frowned.

He sensed a chilling aura.

Following the source, he discovered it was Tsunade.

What's going on?

Gaara hesitated, then ultimately remained silent.

Tsunade bit her lip, her face grim.

That brat!

During such a serious Chunin Exam, to be seen with one woman on each arm is truly... indecent!

"The second match is between Hinata Hyuga and Neji Hyuga."

Genma Shiranui glanced at the note and spoke.

Hinata Hyuga subconsciously raised her head, looking completely bewildered.

Is it really going to be a fight with Neji?

She had absolutely no confidence.

Because she often sparred with Hyuga Neji, and lost most of the time.

He only won a few times because of his humility.

Hinata.

Aburame Shiki walked up to Hinata Hyuga.

Behind him, Ino Yamanaka and Karin exchanged a glance, then turned around at the same time.

Compared to the gentle Hinata Hyuga, the two seem to be completely incompatible.

Hyuga Neji glanced around and then stood in the center of the arena to wait.

He had sparred with Hinata Hyuga so many times that he wasn't worried at all.

Although with the help of Shiki Aburame, her personality became much stronger, but her talent was fixed and could not be changed.

No matter how hard she tried, she couldn't beat him.

"Go for it, beat him!"

"This is encouraging," said Zhihui, the woman from the oil shop.

He knows Hinata Hyuga.

If it were someone else, they wouldn't be so anxious even if they couldn't win.

But it's different when facing Hyuga Neji.

This involves conflicts between the Hyuga main family and the branch family.

Because of Shiki Aburame, Neji Hyuga temporarily put aside his hatred.

But he still hasn't forgotten the death of his father, Hyuga Hizashi, regarding the main family.

The only difference between him and the original work is that he can treat Hinata Hyuga normally.

"Can...can I really do it?"

Hinata Hyuga stared at him blankly.

"Don't forget the secret weapon I gave you."

Oil Girl Zhihui reached out her hand.

There was nothing in his palm.

But Hinata Hyuga understood that he was referring to the Yuki-onna Gu.

Do you remember what I told you before?

Aburame Shiki said softly, "Don't think about anything, just throw a punch."

Hinata Hyuga's body trembled.

These are the words that Aburame Zhihui said when he saved her in the snow.

Of course she remembers.

"Zhihui-kun!"

Hinata Hyuga suddenly grabbed his hand, mustered her courage, and said, "I...I'll prove it to you!"

"I trust you."

Oil Girl Zhihui took her hand.

"I...I'm going on stage..."

Hinata Hyuga lowered her head and spoke docilely.

Two blushes had already appeared on her lovely face.

She withdrew her hand, took a deep breath, and walked to the center of the venue.

auditorium.

"What's that kid doing now?"

Hiashi Hyuga noticed the two men's actions and immediately became somewhat displeased.

"My sister must be very nervous."

Hinata Hanabi smoothed things over by saying, "My brother-in-law was just worried about her."

"Brother-in-law?"

Hiashi Hyuga frowned.

"Future brother-in-law."

Hinata Hanabi realized she had let something slip, so she could only play along and add to the story.

"..."

Hiashi Hyuga's lips twitched slightly as he said, "It's not certain yet whether he's your brother-in-law or not, don't be in such a hurry to call him that."

And this guy is a womanizer.

Just now, he seemed to be pulling and tugging at Yamanaka Ino and Karin.

Hiashi Hyuga possesses the Byakugan, so he can see everything clearly.

We need to find some time to warn that kid.

The eldest daughter of the Hyuga clan could not become a concubine.

wrong.

It is impossible for him to share a husband with another woman.

It is worth mentioning that the five great nations of the ninja world have maintained many feudal traditions.

For example, it was quite normal for a famous man to have three wives and four concubines.

"Yes."

Hinata Hanabi immediately changed the subject, asking, "Can you win, sister?"

"It's difficult."

Hiashi Hyuga shook his head and said truthfully.

Hinata Hanabi sighed.

This answer was exactly what she expected.

Although she hoped Hinata Hyuga would win, there was no doubt that Neji Hyuga was stronger.

"start!"

Seeing that they had formed opposing hand seals, Genma Shiranui called out.

"It seems Zhihui has said something to you again."

Neji Hyuga looked at Hinata Hyuga, who had a determined expression, and said...

Yu Nu Zhihui is not only strong, but also eloquent.

When he joined Skyward, he had already experienced firsthand the power of persuasion.

"Yes."

Hinata Hyuga nodded.

"Let's begin."

Hyuga Neji assumed a Gentle Fist stance and said, "Let me see if his words have any effect."

The sound of something cutting through the air rang out.

Hyuga Neji moved with lightning speed, striking Hyuga Hinata with a palm strike.

Without much probing, he directly used the Soft Fist: Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four Palms.

One palm strike after another, like a raging torrent.

Hinata Hyuga reacted quickly, responding with the same taijutsu.

In an instant, dozens of palm strikes were unleashed.

Each palm strike was aimed at the opponent's pressure points.

Although it's true that you can't break a move just because you were taught by the same master, Hinata Hyuga still couldn't match Neji Hyuga in her mastery of Gentle Fist: Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four Palms.

Two bangs.

Hinata Hyuga was pushed backward by the force.

She subconsciously looked at her right arm.

During the recent exchange, she was struck on acupoints.

Fortunately, it was just one, so it didn't have a big impact.

"Hinata, if that's all there is to it, just admit defeat."

Hyuga Neji shook his head and said.

As expected, talk-no-jutsu (persuasion techniques) cannot increase strength.

"..."

Hinata Hyuga took a deep breath.

In Gentle Fist, she definitely can't beat Hyuga Neji.

Now, the only method available is to use the Snow Woman Gu.

Hinata Hyuga released a large amount of cold air with a thought.

The temperature around us plummeted.

"What is this?"

Hyuga Neji was startled and his eyes widened.

The onlookers gasped in surprise.

Although the ninja world is full of strange and unusual things, they had never seen anything like this before.

Am I under an illusion?

Hanabi Hyuga stared intently at Hinata Hyuga and exclaimed, "My sister is so beautiful!"

"???"

Three question marks appeared on Hiashi Hyuga's face.

Is this really my daughter?

wrong.

Is this human?

Hiashi Hyuga couldn't stand the thought that she wasn't human.

"Ice Release?"

Tsunade looked puzzled.

This was the only plausible explanation she could think of.

But this is clearly not reasonable.

How could Hinata Hyuga know Ice Release?

But is this really Ice Release?

Tsunade had seen Haku before, and his Ice Release was not like that.

It's impossible for her entire body to turn into ice crystals and become a snow woman.

Tsunade suddenly looked at Shiki Aburame.

Although the distance is far, as a ninja, one's eyesight is not too bad.

She noticed that everyone except Zhihui, the oil lady, was talking about it and seemed surprised.

Sure enough it was him!

Tsunade thought of the longevity poison that Aburame Shiki had given him.

In comparison, transforming into a snow woman isn't actually that outrageous.

Just how many new tricks does this kid have up his sleeve?

Tsunade's curiosity was piqued, and she decided to investigate.

"Neji-nii-nii."

Hinata Hyuga stood still, her aura growing colder and colder. "Shiki-kun said I could defeat you, so I want to give it a try."

"..."

Hyuga Neji curled his lip.

This guy is so fickle and forgets his friends!

He suddenly frowned and asked, "Was your change caused by Zhihui?"

"Yes."

Hinata Hyuga admitted it.

"I knew it."

Hyuga Neji said in a serious tone, "Then let's do it."

As soon as she finished speaking, Hinata Hyuga raised her hand.

Chakra condensed in the air, and in the blink of an eye, it formed a row of ice spikes that flew out densely.

Bagua Empty Palm!

Neji Hyuga slaps his hands together repeatedly.

Air is compressed to form aerial projectiles.

The ice spikes were hit and scattered immediately.

The air currents converged, swirling around the ice spikes, which then broke apart one by one.

Hyuga Neji didn't stop, and the chakra block hidden in the Gentle Fist slammed towards Hyuga Hinata.

As he got close, an ice shield appeared, blocking his ranged punch.

"The defense is even stronger than the ice spikes from before."

Hyuga Neji seemed to be deep in thought.

He vanished from the spot in a flash.

The next second, from behind Hinata Hyuga, Neji Hyuga suddenly slapped her.

A single palm strike landed.

But his expression changed drastically.

Hinata Hyuga has no acupoints.

To be more precise, she had no flesh and blood; her entire body was made of ice and snow.

Without acupoints, it means that acupressure cannot be applied.

Moreover, Hinata Hyuga's defense is frighteningly high.

With a single slap, she was completely unharmed.

In the brief moment that Hyuga Neji was lost in thought, an astonishing chill emanated from both his left and right sides.

He was surrounded by icicles.

Hyuga Neji let out a soft snort, and a large amount of chakra erupted from his body.

A miraculous recovery!

His body was spinning rapidly.

With a loud bang.

Hinata Hyuga was thrown back.

She turned in mid-air and landed safely.

"Return to Heaven?"

Hinata Hyuga stared blankly at Neji Hyuga.

Rotation is a secret technique passed down orally within the Hyuga clan, a form of absolute defense that combines offense and defense.

It is extremely powerful and very difficult to learn.

Hinata Hyuga still hasn't learned it.

"Neji really is a genius."

Hiashi Hyuga, who was watching the game, couldn't help but sigh.

He didn't specifically teach Hyuga Neji, but Neji learned the Rejuvenation Technique on his own through observation.

This talent is among the best in the entire history of the Hyuga clan.

If he had been born into the main family, the elders would probably have been overjoyed.

"But my older sister is no less impressive."

Hinata Hanabi's eyes sparkled. "I wonder if I can learn this ninjutsu from my older sister."

"This must be the legendary Ice Release technique."

Hiashi Hyuga said somewhat uncertainly, "Logically speaking, it shouldn't be allowed to learn it."

"How did you learn that, sister?"

Hinata Hanabi asked in confusion.

"have no idea."

Hiashi Hyuga said it quite frankly.

He noticed that Hinata Hyuga had gradually become a stranger to Shiki Aburame ever since they met.

and many more.

Could this be the work of that kid again?

The battle within the venue entered a strange rhythm.

Neji Hyuga and Hinata Hyuga were at a loss with each other.

The former cannot be used for acupressure.

The latter is beyond saving.

A dozen minutes later, Hyuga Neji raised his hands and said, "I surrender."

His chakra was exhausted.

To perform the "Return to Heaven" technique, one needs to release a large amount of chakra throughout the body to form a rapidly rotating defense.

The fact that he could hold out for so long means he has a lot of chakra.

Unfortunately, Hinata Hyuga was superior.

Because she is a Yuki-onna (snow woman), manipulating ice and snow is instinctive for her, and she doesn't consume too much chakra.

"The victor is Hinata Hyuga!"

Upon seeing this, Genma Shiranui shouted loudly.

Hinata Hyuga stood there, stunned.

Did I win?

Even now, she still can't believe it.

[Achieve the achievement "I'm not human anymore!" for Hinata Hyuga, and receive the reward "All Plants Are Soldiers".]

【All Plants and Trees as Soldiers Gu: A fourth-tier Gu worm that can turn plants and trees within a certain range around the Gu Master into weapons.】

Oil Girl Zhihui was taken aback.

This thing is practically Wood Release!

Two chapters combined. No update at midnight. I've been slacking off these past two days. I'll work hard tomorrow to try and recover.
