Chapter 52 The Opening of the Chunin Exam (3)(1/3)
In the empty woods, a boy with long, straight black hair, about thirteen or fourteen years old, opened a pair of almost pure white eyes, scanned everything in the woods, and made careful observations.
Compared to the Sharingan's pupil technique, which is good at attacking, the function of the Byakugan is more assistive.
Having the ability to see, clairvoyance, insight, and even control one's own chakra at a fine level is not a direct attack on the enemy, but requires one's own cooperation to maximize the functionality of the Byakugan.
"One thousand one hundred meters...barely exceeds the observation range of one kilometer..."
Neji saw his own Byakugan. With the increased chakra, he could only see a distance of 1,100 meters away from him.
But this doesn't mean that Neji can react from such a distance.
Because as the observation distance increases, once multiple enemies appear, it will increase the burden on the brain's thinking.
With his current ability, when an enemy approaches within a fifty-meter radius of him, he can effectively detect the enemy's attack trajectory and react in advance.
If this distance is exceeded, it will become very difficult to defend against enemy attacks...
However, ninjas that can attack enemies from fifty meters away should be very rare ultra-long-range ninjas in the ninja world.
This kind of ninja is not so easy to encounter.
Especially at the genin stage, ninjas at this stage are just starting out, and the combat systems of taijutsu, illusion, and ninjutsu have not yet been fully formed, and the Byakugan can exert even greater advantages.
To avoid sneak attacks, even if illusions and ninjutsu are activated, Byakugan can identify the type of technique based on the flow of chakra in the opponent's body and dodge in advance.
And if it comes to competing in taijutsu, the Hyuga clan ninjas with Byakugan will not be afraid of hand-to-hand combat with their enemies.
"Well……"
Neji suddenly felt a pain in his eyes and couldn't help but close his eyes. When he opened them again, the veins next to his eyes calmed down and his eyes returned to normal, eliminating the white-eyed state.
"It seems that there are some risks in extreme distant viewing. It seems that the maximum observation distance in the future will be adjusted to a range of one thousand meters."
For genin, having a visual range of one thousand meters is already a very terrifying assistance ability.
Reducing or increasing the visual range of one hundred meters will not affect Neji's own performance.
"Neji!"
Hearing someone's voice calling him, Neji turned to look.
A man and a woman walked towards each other.
It's his teammates Tiantian and Locke Li.
The two of them are the same age as him, thirteen years old. Compared to this year's newcomers, the three of them have been at the genin stage for more than a year. Needless to say, they have completed many D-level missions, as well as level-1 missions.
A lot has been accomplished, and the level of experience is not something that novice genin can compare to.
Tiantian is a cute girl wearing a pink sleeveless cheongsam and a bun hair style. She is very good at using ninja tools, and her specialty is the operation of ninja tools.
It is said that my family runs a traditional ninja tool shop. They sell kunai, shurikens, explosive charms, ninja swords and other ninja tools. The scale is said to be quite large. I guess I am from a family of arms merchants. Although in recent years, traditional arms have been sold.
The business has been impacted by the new weapons of the Demon Country, but the use of traditional ninja tools has not been completely abandoned yet. It still occupies a large share of the arms market, but it is not as prosperous as before.
Rock Lee is relatively simple.
With a typical civilian background, plus watermelon hair style, thick eyebrows and round eyes, the image is not ugly, but it always gives people a very strange feeling. Especially wearing a green tights, the feeling is even stronger.
He is good at taijutsu and does not know genjutsu or ninjutsu, but his chakra is very powerful compared to genin.
Thanks to this, the future path is very clear to specialize in physical skills.
Another point is that he is a hot-blooded idiot. He often talks about "youth" and "hot-blooded" and other words, and then looks for himself to compete.
Although every time he ended up in a disastrous defeat, due to his perseverance and perseverance, when he looked back now, Ningji was not impressed by the opponent's perseverance, but rather felt that he had a headache.
He is not a fighting maniac and will not get excited to compete with others just because someone challenges him.
"Ningji, come and compete with me today!"
Before Neji could speak, Rock Lee, who had followed Tiantian, had already clenched his fists, his eyes flashing with fighting spirit, hoping to vent the energy in his body that had nowhere to be released through a hearty battle.
"...Didn't I say that I am not interested in those who lose to me? Even though you have worked hard, the gap between us has not begun to narrow. No matter how you fight or what tactics you use now, you are very good.
It’s hard to escape the capture of my supercilious eyes.”
Neji sighed inwardly, but he still had patience and responded to the other party in a calm tone.
It is a very dangerous behavior to fall into the observation range of white eyes.
Especially ninjas like Xiao Li who cannot sense and do not have long-range attack capabilities.
Whether it is a physical battle or a more realistic tug-of-war, Xiao Li is at an extreme disadvantage. This is an undisputed fact.
"That is to say, Li, you have never won against Neji even once. Even if you want to challenge Neji, you have to become stronger, right?"
Tiantian also started to help. In her impression, every battle between the two ended in Neji's victory.
Compared with many genin, maybe Xiao Li is already very powerful. Because he specializes in taijutsu, Xiao Li is very fast. As a result, the ninjas who fight him basically have no time to release their ninjutsu and are killed.
Knock down.
But this was of no use to Neji.
Neci's neurological reaction ability is no worse than that of Xiao Li, and with Byakugan's blood inheritance limit, Xiao Li can't detect Byakugan faster no matter how fast he is, unless Xiao Li's speed can surpass Neci's neurological reaction ability and let Ning
The body cannot respond at all.
Otherwise, once a physical battle begins, the acupuncture points will be pressed by the soft fist, and the chakra of the whole body will be blocked, leaving only the end of defeat.
"Is this so? But I feel that I am stronger now than I was a while ago..."
"So, how about leaving the duel for later, Li?"
Before Xiao Li could finish speaking, a rich adult male voice suddenly came from behind.
"Teacher Kai!?"
Tiantian was startled when he saw the adult male suddenly appearing behind Xiao Li, but he quickly realized that it was their instructor, Jonin Metkai.
His appearance is as weird as Xiao Li's, with a watermelon hair style, big eyes and thick eyebrows, and a green tights with a Konoha Jounin uniform, like a kappa.
Even so, Tiantian still has respect for the other party.
Although she looks ugly, she is a jounin with ridiculously strong physical skills. In addition, the opponent is also good at fighting with ninja tools, and he usually gives her a lot of advice, which makes her strength grow rapidly.
"Humph, I can finally have some peace and quiet."
Seeing Gai appear, Neji knew that this competition was impossible, and he was not in the mood to compete with Xiao Li in taijutsu. Anyway, he would win no matter what the fight was. In a battle where the outcome could be known at a glance, he
As the genius of the branch of the Hyuga clan, I am not very interested in him.
"But, Teacher Kai..."
Xiao Li seemed to be about to say something more, but Kai stopped him.
"Li, don't worry, I'm here this time to bring you some great news!"
Kai patted Xiao Li's shoulder to signal him to be quiet.
"Great news?"
Neji tilted his head. Although the expression on his face was still indifferent, the fluctuation in his eyes proved that he was also slightly interested in Kai's words.
"Uh... Could it be that they have invented some strange combat uniform for us to try on?"
Cold sweat ran down Tiantian's face and he took a step back.
She respects her mentor Jōnin very much, but that doesn't mean she has to obey the other person's strange orders.
For example, putting on that green tight-fitting combat uniform... made her feel extremely repulsed.
"Although this is good news, it is a pity that the good news this time has nothing to do with it."
Kai laughed.
"What is that, Teacher Kai?"
Tiantian Shuiling's eyes flashed with curiosity.
Kai snorted, and under the curious gazes of the three people, he finally spoke:
"That's the middle of next month...the Chunin Examination will be held!"
Sure enough, when the three people heard the news, the look in their eyes suddenly changed. They were excited, excited, and expecting... but there was no fear.
You must know that the three of them have been preparing for this day for a long time.
Originally, they planned to shine in the Chunin Exams in July this year. However, they got the news that the Chunin Exams were postponed. They thought that this year's Chunin Exams would be cancelled, but they didn't expect that they would be held again at this time.
What a blessing among misfortunes.
"Not only that, this Chunin Examination is not held by us in Konoha alone."
Kai's exposed teeth gleamed.
"Um?"
Neji and the other two men suddenly raised their heads.
"What does this mean, Teacher Kai?"
Xiao Li didn't seem to have reacted yet.
To be continued...
