People's attention immediately focused on this.
Neji Hyuga's image is among the best of all the contestants, and his reputation as a genius is known to everyone in Konoha.
On the opposite side was Temari from Sunagakure.
With her hair styled in four buns and carrying a large fan on her shoulder, she has a slightly flamboyant image.
Who is stronger, the genius of Konoha or the genius of Sunagakure? Many people are looking forward to the upcoming match.
"Pfft!" Temari slammed her enormous iron fan into the ground, gave a wicked and arrogant smile, and addressed Hyuga Neji in front of her.
"A ninja from the Hyuga clan?"
"I've heard that your soft fist technique is quite weak. I'll have to see it for myself later."
"By the way—I don't like weak, timid men."
On the other side, Hyuga Neji didn't utter a sound, nor did he even bother to show any expression; he simply stood there quietly.
As the referee announced the start, he assumed a fighting stance.
Temari clicked her tongue.
She didn't think the somewhat refined-looking man in front of her could be her match.
Her Wind Release technique is both offensive and defensive, and incredibly powerful. She could hold her own against even the village's top fighters, let alone this so-called genius genin in front of her.
As the match began, Temari stepped back, placed her large fan in front of her, and then opened it slightly.
As one of the stars appeared on the fan, Temari smiled crookedly and raised the fan to fan it forward!
"Boom!~"
A strong wind suddenly arose, and the howling sound was almost like a roar.
A violent wind swept across the area ahead, and Hyuga Neji's figure was naturally within the range of the Wind Release technique.
Facing the howling wind ahead, the air was subtly distorted by the changes in air pressure, and Hyuga Neji looked serious.
"Wind Release?" he muttered to himself, looking at Temari's fan that was only half open, and immediately analyzed Temari's fighting characteristics.
By unleashing wind-style attacks with their Noble Phantasms, they possess both offensive and defensive capabilities, exuding a powerful aura.
This kind of powerful attack is indeed quite impressive among genin. If the power of wind release were stronger, this release method would be quite formidable even among chunin.
But it didn't mean much to him.
Hyuga Neji dodged to the side, forming hand seals.
Seeing him start to flee, Temari sneered and waved her fan again!
The wind is blowing again!
But this time, Temari felt something was wrong as soon as she fanned herself.
Why is it so hot?
The thought had barely formed when she saw the flames—coming from behind her.
A sense of crisis rose in Temari's heart as she felt a jolt of danger. She dared not be careless and used her large fan to strike downwards, using the force to propel herself up!
"Phew!"
Flames surged past from behind, whipping up Temari's clothes.
Temari, who had just leaped up, realized that at the same time she used Wind Release, her opponent's Fire Release condensed behind him.
It's a very ordinary fire jutsu.
The flames were no taller than a person, and they didn't make much noise or spread easily.
However, this ordinary fire jutsu almost burned her, simply because as the wind howled in front of her, the air behind her was drawn in and naturally swept towards her.
Temari's expression turned serious.
She knew fire counters wind. But for an opponent to so easily threaten her with ordinary fire techniques, their reaction speed and timing were exceptionally impressive!
Landing from mid-air, she grabbed her large fan and prepared to attack Hyuga Neji again as he dodged.
She braced herself, no longer daring to underestimate her opponent. While wielding her fan, she kept an eye out for any extra flames appearing around her.
No.
But she couldn't swing her fan.
A crisp "clang!" rang out.
The large iron fan in his hand struck a pillar of earth.
The earthen pillar, about half a foot thick and a foot high, came from in front of her and blocked the path of her fan. The reaction force made her sway and almost fall.
Before she could react, pillars and walls of earth rose up around her.
Some are big, some are small, some are long, some are short, some are thick, some are thin.
Chapter 533 Hiashi Hyuga's Thoughts
Temari is surrounded by earthen pillars!
She immediately realized Hyuga Neji's intentions.
These earthen pillars can not only restrict Iron Fan's range of movement, but also weaken her Wind Release technique!
'Damn it, wasn't it said that the Hyuga guys were only good at Gentle Fist?' Temari cursed under her breath.
She picked up the heavy iron fan, leaped high into the air, intending to leave the area of the earthen pillar.
Just as it rose, a dark shadow fell before its eyes.
"Clang clang clang!!!" The shuriken landed on the iron fan, sparks flying everywhere.
Although she managed to defend against the attack from above, Temari was not in good shape. The iron fan was heavy, and when she hurriedly raised it above her head, her arm felt a dull ache.
I was also angry.
It seems like she's been at a disadvantage ever since the battle started!
The guy opposite her, Hyuga Neji, seemed to have mastered the rhythm of the battle from the very beginning, leaving her speechless with his mediocre attacks.
The shadowy pillars of earth were numerous. Knowing that the Hyuga Byakugan possessed the ability to see through things, she dared not delay. She suddenly pushed off with her feet and leaped high into the air.
"So annoying!" Temari scoffed, unfolding her iron fan halfway again. Then, with a thought, she unfolded it completely.
Chakra surged and roared within her body. After confirming that there was no flame chakra behind her, Temari held the iron fan and swung it downwards fiercely!
"Boom!!"
The hurricane howled, and the earth and rocks exploded.
The ground of the competition venue was turned upside down by the blow, and the upright earthen pillars were destroyed one by one by the hurricane, leaving only short roots, and some were even uprooted.
With a single blow, the view suddenly vanished.
Temari landed, her gaze finding Hyuga Neji dodging in the distance, and she said coldly, "Heh."
"I originally thought the Hyuga clan only knew how to fight."
Hyuga Neji remained silent, his mind preoccupied with the words that Shingetsu Seiun had spoken to him.
"The Soft Fist has a long history and is extremely powerful."
"But if you only rely on soft fists to fight, you will inevitably be limited. If you don't find a way to change, you will fall into the trap of your predecessors."
Hyuga Neji had great faith in the God Moon Nebula, so for several years he had been exploring ways to fight enemies other than Gentle Fist, based on his own chakra nature.
"Hey, I'm talking to you, why aren't you saying anything?" Temari asked, displeased, when he didn't respond.
"What, your pillar's gone? You're out of ideas now?"
"It's alright, you haven't even used your Gentle Fist yet."
"Let me see just how powerful the Hyuga clan's strongest technique is."
"Otherwise, you might not have another chance."
As Temari spoke, she unfurled her three-star iron fan and once again channeled her chakra to deliver a powerful strike forward.
Such an attack was a considerable burden for her, but it didn't matter; victory was in sight.
"Boom!~"
The earth and rocks collapsed, and a hurricane howled.
A powerful wind-style attack struck again; Hyuga Neji's Byakugan pierced through the hurricane of falling rocks and landed on Temari.
He spoke softly, "It wasn't Hyuga's method."
"It was my method."
In the wind, Temari could not hear his voice, but she could see his movements.
Neji Hyuga has made his move!
His movements were as swift as lightning, and at the same time, he stretched out his right hand, and a slender metal whip nearly ten meters long landed in his hand.
Avoiding the strongest point of the Wind Release technique, Hyuga Neji, his clothes fluttering, approached Temari in a flash.
The latter was slightly startled, and naturally dared not be careless. He fanned himself with his iron fan, controlling his wind-style technique to gather towards Hyuga Neji.
The latter reached out his hand.
Crack the whip!
"Snap!!!" A soft sound rang out in the wind.
The long metal whip pierced the air and swept swiftly toward Temari.
With a whoosh from the sidelines, chakra was poured into the originally dark metal whip, and then, with flickering flames, the whip turned crimson.
The flames licked.
Temari managed to hide behind the iron fan at the last second, but her arm was still burned by the flames on the whip.
The burning, stinging pain almost made her cry out.
She dodged the wind-style attack!
