Naruto: Naruto Hosted by the System

"oh oh."

Naruto then looked at Neji.

"I'm sorry to have kept you waiting, but it will be over soon and won't take up much time."

Neji looked even angrier upon hearing this, with veins bulging around his eyes.

"A loser is a loser... Oh well, that's just how the world is. Everything is predetermined. Your dream of becoming Hokage is impossible to achieve, because whoever becomes Hokage is already decided, and it's definitely not someone like you who's a loser!"

"You may not know what the Hyuga clan represents, let alone what a genius in the Hyuga clan represents. In just this month, I have learned a new technique, and you will undoubtedly be defeated!"

Neji gave himself a thumbs-up, looking smug.

Naruto scratched his head, looking puzzled.

"Learning new techniques... is that strange? I learned dozens of ninjutsu in a single day when I was with Kakashi-sensei."

"Nonsense won't affect me!"

After the referee announced the start of the match, Neji surprisingly chose to create distance.

Logically speaking, the Gentle Fist of the Hyuga clan should be used to close the distance in order to disrupt the enemy's meridians, but Neji did the opposite.

"Could it be... that he learned that move?" On the stage, the head of the Hyuga clan, Hyuga Hiashi, had an expression of disbelief on his face.

But Neji's next action confirmed his suspicions.

"Eight Trigrams Empty Palm!"

A burst of compressed air, concealing the power of Gentle Fist, hurtled towards Naruto!

Hiashi Hyuga stood up abruptly.

"I didn't quite believe it when I heard that Neji had taught himself the Genten, a technique that only members of the main family could learn. But now it seems to be true. It's a truly awe-inspiring talent."

The preliminary selection was only observed by the participants and examiners, so others did not know the details of what happened.

Faced with Neji's new technique, Naruto's choice is—

"System, didn't he say that he would be guaranteed to win once he learned the new move?"

You mean to say...

"That's right, and you actually recorded the data a long time ago, didn't you?"

Yes, just go for it.

"it is good."

Naruto then looked straight ahead and assumed the same stance as Neji.

What a fool you are, do you think this level of imitation will have any meaning?

Neji dismissed this with disdain.

But what happened next made his eyes nearly pop out of their sockets.

"Eight Trigrams Empty Palm!"

Naruto also used the Eight Trigrams Palm, and it was even more powerful than Neji's, easily overpowering Neji's attack and rushing towards him!

Chapter 37 Neji's Relief and Naruto's Justice

How could that be! He didn't roll his eyes!

Neji never expected that Naruto would use the Eight Trigrams Palm, and even better than him. Caught off guard, Neji didn't even have time to react and dodge.

puff!

Neji was struck in the abdomen by the Eight Trigrams Palm, as if someone had punched him in the stomach. Even his chakra circulation became disordered, and the feeling was definitely not pleasant.

He swallowed the mouthful of blood that had risen to his throat and glared fiercely at Naruto.

[Host, it's my turn now.]

"Huh? Neji is so strong that he needs your help, System?"

No, Hyuga Neji is a renowned genius, and with so many nobles watching, this is our chance to make a name for ourselves.

"it is good."

In an instant, Neji suddenly felt a chill, just like when he first met Naruto.

What's going on? This guy... he gives off a different vibe.

Neji sensed something was wrong and secretly decided to be even more cautious from now on.

But then the system calmly said, "The difference in our strength is too great. Even if I win, it would seem like I won unfairly."

"Since you are skilled in Soft Fist, then I will use the exact same moves as you from now on."

Neji was stunned for a moment upon hearing this, then glared at Naruto, his back teeth practically grinding to powder.

"What do you take Soft Fist for! This is the result of my hard work and perseverance since I was a child, without the slightest slackening. Don't tarnish it with your loser mentality!"

Hiashi Hyuga on the stage also looked rather grim. Partly because Naruto had spoken so arrogantly, partly because this wild boy was always getting entangled with his daughter, and partly...

As the head of the Hyuga clan, even if he didn't want to admit it, he had to say that Naruto's Eight Trigrams Palm technique was actually extremely standard.

On the field, the enraged Neji threw all his previous "caution" to the back of his mind and adopted a stance of going all out.

"Gentle Fist Technique - Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four Palms!"

The next moment, Neji appeared in front of Naruto and struck out with both palms.

"Two palms! Four palms! Eight palms! Sixteen palms! Thirty-two palms! Sixty-four palms!!"

Neji's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets, because Naruto on the other side had perfectly replicated his movements one-to-one. The two palm strikes canceled each other out, so much so that Neji's full strength couldn't cause Naruto the slightest trouble.

"Is sixty-four palms your limit? Then you should take a good look at my Soft Fist."

Naruto's voice was like a ghost, sending chills down Neji's spine. He instinctively tried to distance himself, but it was too late.

"Gentle Fist Technique - Bagua 1024 Palms!"

The next moment, Naruto appeared in front of Neji, striking out with both palms.

"Two palms, four palms, eight palms, sixteen palms, thirty-two palms, sixty-four palms, one hundred and twenty-eight palms, two hundred and fifty-six palms, five hundred and twelve palms, one thousand and twenty-four palms."

puff--

With the final blow, Neji could no longer hold on, bleeding profusely as he was sent flying backward.

The referee was startled by the bloody scene, thinking that Neji had been killed by Naruto, and rushed forward.

"Get out of the way!" Neji's voice came from the "bloody man," causing the referee to stop in his tracks.

"System, you're being a bit too ruthless!" Naruto was taken aback.

[Don't worry, I used both Gentle Fist and Palm Healing Technique at the same time. Although his injuries are severe, they are almost healed.]

Sure enough, Neji swayed and forced himself to stand up the next moment.

At this moment, his face was filled with despair, and all his previous arrogance was gone.

"How could this be... Wasn't he the worst student...? Isn't everything in this world predetermined...? Otherwise, what's the point of everything I've endured so far...? My father's sacrifice...?"

Neji's eyes were filled with confusion, as if his Dao heart had been shattered.

But suddenly, a possibility occurred to him, and he quickly asked Naruto, "Who are your parents and teachers? Do you have any special bloodline?"

After a moment's thought, the system decided that it wouldn't hurt to make it public. It was something that everyone in Konoha should know anyway, so that it would be more legitimate for him to become Hokage in the future.

"My father is the Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze, and my teachers are Jonin Kakashi Hatake and the Legendary Sannin, Jiraiya. I also have the Uzumaki clan's blood flowing through my veins. Furthermore, according to the Sage's prophecy, I am the prophesied child who will save the ninja world."

These words shocked the entire audience.

"What?! This fox demon brat is the Fourth Hokage's child, which means he's... a hero's orphan?"

"Kakashi Hatake's teacher was the Fourth Hokage, the Fourth Hokage's teacher was the legendary Sannin Jiraiya, Jiraiya's teacher was the Third Hokage, the Third Hokage's teacher was the Second Hokage, and the Second Hokage was the First Hokage's younger brother... From this perspective, if Naruto Uzumaki wanted to, becoming Hokage would be perfectly legitimate!"

"Haha, you know, I've always thought this kid is extraordinary and has a bright future."

At the highest point of the audience, the Third Hokage heard the discussions below, frowned, but did nothing.

After all, he was the one with the least right to criticize Naruto.

Hiashi Hyuga noticed the Third Hokage's attitude and was taken aback.

As the head of the Hyuga clan, Hiashi knew Naruto's identity, but so what? Naruto's childhood experiences showed the attitude of the higher-ups, and Hiashi had no intention of offending them.

But today... seems a little different?

The Uchiha clan, also a powerful clan, has been wiped out. The Hyuga clan's survival to this day is inseparable from the correct allegiance taken by its successive clan leaders.

So he thought to himself: When I get back, I'll have Hinata spend more time with him.

On the field, Neji was stunned for a moment, then suddenly burst into a relieved laugh.

"Hahahaha! Hahahaha! Hahahaha! Ha...ha...Waaaaah..."

Neji was laughing and crying at the same time, and he seemed to have gone mad.

"I knew it! I knew it! Everything was destined. So what if I'm a genius of the Hyuga clan? What does that matter compared to being the son of the Hokage!"

"Besides, you, Naruto Uzumaki, are not only the son of the Hokage, but also a member of the Uzumaki clan, a disciple of the legendary Sannin, with a powerful demon fox sealed within you, and a child of prophecy destined for you. From the moment you were born, you have stood at a different level from us!"

Neji pounded the ground, overwhelmed by an intense despair—a despair for the world.

"Everything... was destined..."

At that moment, Naruto walked up to him.

"System, let me do it. Didn't we agree with the lecherous immortal that we would show him what we were doing?"

【OK. 】

Naruto looked at Neji, who was weeping bitterly and seemed resigned to his fate, and said softly, "You have these thoughts because of what happened to the Hyuga clan back then, right?"

Neji gritted his teeth, his wounds reopened, but he couldn't bring himself to refute them.

"The Perverted Sage said I was a prophetic child, destined to become Hokage, so he told me a lot about Konoha's past, hoping I would have my own thoughts on these things."

"Next, I will tell you my thoughts."

Naruto suddenly looked towards the audience seats, as if searching for something.
