Honkai Impact 3rd: This is how Obito and Rin used it

However, Neji Hyuga's whip always managed to find a gap in her attacks and inflict damage on her.

"This isn't Gentle Fist at all! What kind of technique is this?"

Temari exclaimed in surprise.

Hyuga Neji shouted, "Lightning Five-Strike Whip!"

Temari: "Bullshit!"

"That's clearly a fire whip!"

The whip was clearly made of a special metal, combining taijutsu and fire-style techniques to achieve its power. However, it had absolutely nothing to do with lightning!

Neji Hyuga remained unmoved in the face of Temari's questioning.

"It's none of your business what the elders say about the name they gave you!"

As he spoke, he swung his long whip even more fiercely.

In the stands, many people were astonished to see Hyuga Neji using a fire whip to overwhelm Temari of Sunagakure.

At the Hyuga clan's grounds, Hyuga Hiashi looked at Hyuga Hizashi with surprise.

"What kind of trick is Neji using?"

"How come I've never seen this before?"

Hyuga Hizashi hesitated before saying, "I'm not quite sure either."

"It seems that Brother Xingyun taught him how to tinker with it."

Upon hearing the name Shingetsu Seiun, Hyuga Hiashi's expression hardened. Looking at the imposing Hyuga Neji in the arena, he suppressed his astonishment.

"Lord Nebula... your skills are truly extraordinary."

He could tell that Hyuga Neji's fire whip technique was quite powerful, and most importantly, it made up for the fact that Gentle Fist was not good at long-range attacks in the early stages.

Hyuga Neji had already mastered Gentle Fist to an extremely high level thanks to his talent, and with the addition of his fire whip and ninjutsu, his abilities became even more comprehensive.

He felt a pang of regret. If only Shingetsu Seiun had chosen his daughter Hinata instead of Hyuga Neji.

But he also knew that he couldn't have it by envying it.

The reason Hyuga Neji was able to receive guidance from Kamizuki Seiun was because of Hyuga Hizashi. The latter had fought alongside Kamizuki Seiun during the Third Shinobi World War and had a deep friendship with him, an advantage that Neji lacked.

The other party clearly doesn't think much of Hinata either.

'All things considered, Hanabi's personality seems more likable.'

'When the opportunity arises later, I'll let Hanabi get closer to me.' Hiashi Hyuga thought to himself as he watched the situation on the field gradually become clearer.

The battle was drawing to a close.

Although Temari's Wind Release technique was powerful, it was still no match for Hyuga Neji.

The latter's gaze was firm, and he wielded the whip swiftly.

The words that Shenyue Xingyun had once told him echoed in his mind.

Birds will break free from control and escape their cages once they fly high enough.

He wanted to show Uncle Xingyun that he would fly higher and higher!

"Crack~"

"Slap slap~"

Temari had no idea what Hyuga Neji was thinking; all she knew was that she couldn't take it anymore.

The opponent wasn't a weak man, but his blows were incredibly painful.

"I concede."

As the whip's shadow faded and the dust settled, Izumo Kamatsuki announced the winner on the chaotic playing field.

The ninja used Earth Release to repair the arena, and the competition continued, but the battles in the back were clearly not as exciting as the previous ones.

As more and more people choose to use the restroom, new names appear on the big screen.

"Sasuke, Gaara."

On one side was Konoha's genius, and on the other was Sunagakure's trump card. As the two stood in the arena, the audience remained firmly seated, and even those who had planned to leave sat down to watch, suppressing their urge to urinate.

The two stood facing each other, a great battle about to break out.

Chapter 534 Sasuke

Gaara.

The son of the Kazekage, the jinchūriki of the One-Tailed Shukaku. This news was no secret among the higher-ups.

Since the start of the Joint Chunin Exams, he has demonstrated extremely strong dominance and is extremely bloodthirsty.

Sasuke, a genius from the Uchiha clan. Even though the Uchiha population in Konoha has declined, the name 'Uchiha' remains an undeniable name in the ninja world.

Similarly, Sasuke performed exceptionally well in the early stages of the Chunin Exams, and coupled with his outstanding appearance, many people were very optimistic about him.

The two faced off at this moment. As the match officially began, they each took their positions, neither launching a strong attack.

Gaara spoke first: "Make your move."

"Uchiha blood. It should taste better."

Sasuke frowned slightly: "There's a hot pot restaurant on the east side of Konoha Main Street. They have fresh duck blood there. If you're craving it, you can go there. It's not expensive."

Gaara's gaze grew even more menacing.

"Don't blame me for not giving you a chance to make a move."

As he spoke, yellow sand flew out from the large gourd behind him, slowly gathering in front of him. The next moment, the speed of the yellow sand suddenly changed from slow to fast, like javelins, piercing towards Sasuke's direction.

"Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh~" The sound of sand breaking through the air.

The instant he attacked, Sasuke also moved. He drew his ninja tools from his pouch, creating a blur before his eyes as kunai and shuriken flew out.

Uchiha Ninja Tool Throwing!

Simple ninja tools, in Sasuke's hands, displayed extraordinary power. The shuriken and kunai were not only incredibly fast, but also had tricky angles. Relying on air pressure and the collision of the ninja tools, they drew arcs in mid-air, enveloping Gaara.

"Pfft pfft pfft!~"

The yellow sand rippled outwards.

Just as the ninja tool approached Gaara, the sand seemed to have its own consciousness and blocked the path of the ninja tool's attack.

Seeing this, Sasuke kept his footwork rhythm and threw again!

The speed is the same, but the angle changes slightly, resulting in different speeds.

It still couldn't change the outcome of being blocked by the yellow sand.

Gaara: "Is this all the ridiculous tricks you have?"

Sasuke did not answer.

The attack just now was just a probe, a test of Gaara's offensive style.

The sand's defense was incredibly swift. He judged that even if Gaara used his ninja tool throwing skills to their fullest potential, he wouldn't be able to break through Gaara's defense. The opponent's defense was unbelievably fast, even faster than his attacks, as if... the sand had its own will.

'If shuriken attacks can't break through, what about longswords?' Sasuke thought, unrolling a scroll, and with a 'bang,' a longsword appeared in his hand.

Gaara continued his sarcasm: "I told you, such ridiculous tactics won't work on me."

"We'll only know if we try!" Sasuke said, dodging the sudden attack of the yellow sand, and propelled himself forward at top speed, rushing towards Gaara.

"Whoosh! Whoosh!"

The sword flashed.

He either dodged the oncoming yellow sand or cleaved it into a sky full of dust with the edge of his sword.

The chaotic light and shadow, and the rapid speed, caused many girls in the audience to gasp in surprise.

"Wow~"

"Amazing!"

"This guy's swordsmanship is so beautiful!"

It's not the swordsmanship that's beautiful, it's the person wielding the swordsmanship.

Sasuke was using the Star Chasing Moon Style, taught to him by Shingetsu Seiun. His Lv2 swordsmanship was executed with exceptional precision, combining elegance and speed, making him a match for even ordinary Chunin.

With his longsword in hand, Sasuke's figure flashed and swirled around Gaara, displaying extraordinary power.

This made Izumo Kamui, who was acting as the referee, look strange, as if he had eaten chocolate.

'Damn, this kid is really wicked,' Shingetsu Izumo thought to himself.

Observing the battle up close, he could sense the level of Sasuke's swordsmanship.

As someone who had also studied the Shingetsu Nebula Chasing Stars and Moon Style, he was very familiar with this sword technique. Having already been promoted to Special Jonin, he was even slightly more proficient in this sword technique than Sasuke.

What bothered him wasn't the power of Sasuke's swordsmanship, but rather... how incredibly cool it was!

He had already begged his older brother, Shingetsu Seiun, to pass on the Immortal Sword Technique to him, but even when he used the Immortal Sword Technique, it didn't seem as graceful and elegant as Sasuke's Star Chasing Moon Sword Technique.

'Could it be that my brother is keeping something from me?' Izumo Kamatsuki thought to himself.

Shaking his head to clear away the frustration in his heart, Izumo Shingetsu decided to focus on being a good referee. He knew that Seiun Shingetsu valued this young man highly, and he had to be prepared for any unforeseen circumstances.

"Whoosh! Whoosh!~!~"

"Bang bang bang!!~"

Swords flashed, and yellow sand poured down.

After a fierce exchange, Sasuke retreated.

After retreating several dozen meters, the yellow sand subsided, and Sasuke stood there with his sword in hand.

Across from him, Gaara's breathing also became much more rapid.

In the recent exchange, Sasuke's longsword almost broke through the sand's defenses; he only managed to hold on by increasing his chakra output. Furthermore, during the brief lull in the fighting, Sasuke also used throwing tools; if the sand's defenses hadn't been impenetrable, he might have been injured.

“I’ve already said it.” Gaara took a deep breath: “This method won’t work.”
