Second floor, viewing area.

Seeing Neji's starting stance, Sakura asked curiously, "Kakashi-sensei, what's this, Hyuga Neji?"

"This is the Hyuga clan's secret technique passed down through generations, the Hyuga Stream Technique, which is known as the strongest taijutsu style in Konoha."

Kakashi stared intently at the two on the field. "Unlike other steel fist-type taijutsu that can only cause external injuries, their Gentle Fist taijutsu can directly attack the body's acupoints, meridians, and even damage internal organs."

"But how did they do it?"

Sakura didn't understand. If you attack acupoints and meridians, how can you see them?

"The Byakugan, a bloodline limit of the Hyuga clan, allows one to see the body's meridians and acupoints. By using Gentle Fist to attack these acupoints, one can block the flow of chakra, causing anything from incapacitation to serious consequences."

Kakashi didn't say it, but Sakura had already figured it out, and Sasuke also seemed to be thinking about it.

For Naruto, dealing with this type of taijutsu ninja is easy.

Naruto is highly skilled in both ninjutsu and genjutsu.

However, the situation took an unexpected turn.

Naruto didn't use any ninjutsu or genjutsu; he actually wanted to fight the genius Neji using only taijutsu.

Snap snap snap~~~

The two exchanged blows, Neji's attacks were powerful and fierce, but Naruto still managed to deal with them one by one.

To test his limits, Neji would only dodge each of his attacks at the very last moment.

This made him look rather disheveled, but only on the surface.

However, to outsiders, he was indeed powerless to fight back and could only passively take the beating.

"Tch~ Is that all?"

Kankuro was quite disdainful. This blond-haired kid was spouting nonsense. A genius was just the threshold to meet him.

What a boastful tone.

He thought that someone who spoke so arrogantly must have real strength, but this is all he got?

Wasn't it just passively taking hits the whole time?

Besides, the two are still testing each other. Once they're done testing, this blond-haired kid will be beaten so badly he'll run away with his tail between his legs.

Just admit defeat!

He glanced sideways at Gaara and Temari.

He noticed that the two of them were watching intently and ignoring him.

Seeing this, he could only turn his gaze back to the field.

Snap snap snap~~~

On the field, Neji had a complete advantage and could attack at will, while Naruto could only passively defend.

He launched another palm strike, which Naruto barely dodged.

Neji realized that this blond-haired kid didn't seem to know much about taijutsu and could only passively defend without attacking.

I thought he was an expert, but it turns out he's a complete novice.

"Hey,"

Stopping his attack, Neji sneered confidently, "If this is all the taijutsu you've got, I won't hold back!"

Naruto didn't answer, but instead glanced at the panel.

[You have been detected to possess SSSSSS talent; you have learned 'Gentle Fist' through observation.]

[Gentle Fist: 3601/5000 (Master)]

In an instant, countless experiences of soft boxing emerged, as if he had been immersed in this art for decades.

Physical skills are just troublesome.

There are many techniques. Otherwise, if you use a different ninjutsu, he could learn it in a glance. Why go through all this trouble?

Looking up at Neji again, he said with ease and confidence, "Your Gentle Fist seems to use chakra to damage the body's meridians and acupoints?"

"You've already figured it out?" Neji was taken aback.

But so what if you can see it?

"and then?"

Neji frowned. Was this guy afraid to continue fighting him with taijutsu?

"If that's all there is to it, it's too easy. I've already learned it!"

Naruto adopted the exact same Gentle Fist starting stance.

"Now, let me show you—my Gentle Fist!"

The next chapter will be this afternoon, and the last chapter will be tonight. There will be at least three chapters released; otherwise, I'll owe one chapter. I'll release ten chapters after the book goes on sale.

Chapter 79 You want to learn? I'll teach you!

Naruto adopted the exact same Gentle Fist starting stance.

"Now, let me show you—my Gentle Fist!"

"Your Soft Fist?"

Neji felt as if he had heard the biggest joke in the world.

What did that blondie just say?

Too easy?

I learned?

Listen to this. Is it really that easy to learn Soft Fist?

If it were that simple, everyone in the ninja world would have mastered such powerful taijutsu long ago.

This is simply unbelievable!

"Did you think you could learn Soft Fist by just adopting the same starting stance?"

A complete novice in physical skills, thinking he can learn Soft Fist by sparring with him a few times?

Neji was quite disdainful of this.

Some even thought Naruto had lost his mind.

"Hey,"

He shouted, then pityingly suggested, "You should just surrender, because my next attack won't be like the child's game you just played."

"So kind of you?"

I stared at him for a moment and realized that his expression didn't seem fake.

Seeing this, Naruto laughed and said, "It seems you're not as bad as I thought."

If that's the case, then let's go easy on them.

"Then don't blame me for not showing any mercy."

Neji raised a palm and suddenly lunged forward.

That palm strike was very powerful!

but,

slap~

His powerful palm strike was effortlessly deflected by Naruto.

Neji felt a strange sense of familiarity with this defensive posture and the chakra emanating from his palms.

Is this my own Soft Fist? Is this the same kid who just did basic martial arts?

No. Impossible!

Come again!

Snap snap snap~~~

Next, the blond-haired guy used soft fist techniques, the same routines and palm strikes as he had used before.

Did this guy really learn Soft Fist so easily?

"Impossible," he muttered to himself, then suddenly realized.

Wait, this isn't Gentle Fist. He doesn't have the Byakugan. It's just a martial art similar to Gentle Fist!

That must be true.

Roll your eyes?

Naruto replied: No need.

With a chakra control level as high as 432, it brings not only chakra control, but also terrifying chakra perception.

When controlling ninjutsu, one can control it down to the molecular level.

The same applies to perception.

Neji didn't need the Byakugan; he could clearly perceive all the chakra flows within Neji's body!

Do you even know what a numerical monster is?

slap~

Disrupt Neji's attack once again.

[You have used Gentle Fist once. Given your spell understanding of 452, Gentle Fist +1152]
