Seeing Hyuga Neji rushing towards him, a look of panic seemed to flash across Shikamaru's face. This made Hyuga Neji, who had been observing his expression with white eyes, even more convinced of his judgment. He kept walking, almost in the blink of an eye.
He rushed to Shikamaru.
Hyuga Neji's first palm was not from his extended left hand, but from his right hand collected at the waist. Like a poisonous snake that was already ready to strike, it quickly sprang out from its hiding hole and bit its prey. Hyuga Neji
The speed of the palm push was astonishing, pushing towards Shikamaru's vital part of the chest.
"Whoosh!"
Although Shikamaru seemed to be caught off guard, his reaction was not slow. In a flash, he had already used the "Solo Saru Flying Arrow" maneuvering technique. He lowered his center of gravity and lowered his upper body. Chakra spurted out from under his feet. He held his chest and lifted his back.
Like a flexible old ape jumping, like an arrow shooting out of a powerful bow, he escaped from Hyuga Neji's attack extremely quickly. With a turn of his body, he had already arrived at Hyuga Neji's side.
The "Kage Hide" in his hand stretched out, revealing a narrow but sharp blade, and cut into Hinata Neji's thigh tendon.
Hyuga Neji was not surprised when he saw that Shikamaru easily dodged his attack. He turned his eyes slightly and could clearly see Shikamaru's movements without looking back or turning around. He took out a kunai from his ninja bag with one hand.
, quickly turned around, and accurately used the kunai to hold Shikamaru's "Kage Show". At the same time, the other hand pointed like a sword, pointing at Shikamaru's forearm holding the "Kage Show".
Seeing this, Shikamaru's pupils shrank. He knew that Hinata Neji was very powerful at acupuncture. Even so, he did not take back his right hand holding the "Kage Hide". Instead, he twisted the "Kage Hide" on both sides of the blade.
The part of the guard that can be used as the outer blade has already held Hinata Neji's kunai. At the same time, Shikamaru pushed his right hand, causing the "Kagehide" to move forward, using the blade to slice towards Hinata Neji's fingers holding the kunai.
.
Shikamaru's reaction seemed to hurt both sides. When Hinata Neji hit the chakra point on his forearm, he could also use the "Shadow Show" to cut off the opponent's fingers. However, it was obvious which one suffered more, Hinata Neji obviously also
Understanding this, he suddenly released his right hand holding the kunai, and his left hand, pointing like a sword, continued to point at Shikamaru's forearm.
Shikamaru saw that Hinata Neji had retracted his right hand holding the kunai, so he naturally wanted to retract the "Kage Show". At the same time, he formed a seal with one hand with his left hand to condense chakra under his feet, and then raised his right foot, using the concentrated chakra under his right foot.
Kara accurately sucked the kunai that fell when Hyuga Neji let go, and finally swung his leg to drive the sucked kunai to stab Hinata Neji's calf.
“The response was too fast!”
In the stands, Yuhi Kurenai couldn't help but let out a low cry. Although Shikamaru's taijutsu was ineffective due to Hyuga Neji's Byakugan restraint, it still showed an astonishing fighting consciousness.
Kurenai Yuhi thought of Sarutobi Asuma's seemingly arrogant words when she got together with Hatake Kakashi and Sarutobi Asuma, and thought to herself: "No wonder Asuma is so confident in this subordinate. Just based on this
In terms of taijutsu skills, among the other eight newcomers in Konoha, no one is his opponent."
But Hatake Kakashi, who was as shocked as Yuhi Kurenai, was not because of Shikamaru's performance at this time. He was paying attention to Hinata Neji's sword-like stab before, and he was shocked in his heart: "This is Hinata."
A clan’s acupuncture technique!? How is that possible!?”
Although the Hyuga clan's acupuncture ability is unique in Konoha and even the ninja world, it is an advanced skill that not everyone in the Hyuga clan can master. It has extremely high requirements for the ability of the Byakugan. Hyuga Neji is now only
However, at the age of fourteen, he was already able to use his Byakugan to such an extent that he could only be described as a genius.
What's more, as far as Hatake Kakashi knows, Hyuga Neji himself is not a member of the branch family who is difficult to teach advanced soft fist techniques. Also, because of his father's death and his personality, the relationship with the Hyuga clan is very tense. If
If Akai hadn't tried his best to protect it, I'm afraid he would have suffered a lot. I'm afraid he also figured out this acupuncture technique by himself.
"That's amazing." Hatake Kakashi looked resentful, looked at Gaara in the stands opposite, sighed and thought: "There are so many powerful people in this Chuunin Exam!"
"Fortunately, one person has been eliminated, and another one will also be eliminated." Kakashi Hatake thought of Rock Lee who was eliminated before, and then looked at Hinata Neji and Nara Shikamaru in the field. No matter what the result, these two people will also be eliminated.
One person must be eliminated: "Otherwise, Naruto and Sasuke in our team will have no chance at all!"
Not to mention the personal reactions in the stands, in the examination room, Hinata Neji's white eyes naturally easily saw through Shikamaru's movements. He couldn't help but grit his teeth in slight annoyance, and finally withdrew his extended left hand and stopped pointing at Shikamaru.
He opened Maru's chakra point, took half a step back, and avoided Shikamaru's stabbing attack on his calf.
When Shikamaru saw Hyuga Neji's attack finally stalled, he couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief. He took advantage of this opportunity and quickly retreated, intending to open the distance between the two.
After Hinata Neji dodged Shikamaru's attack, he saw that the opponent was actually trying to distance himself. Naturally, he would not stand idly by. His ability was mainly based on physical skills, and he could only show his strength in close combat. Therefore, he immediately pounced on him, preventing Shikamaru from being harmed.
The pill came true.
Shikamaru, who had already come a little further away, sneered and stopped retreating. Instead, he squatted on the ground and thrust the "Kage Show" on the ground not far behind him.
From what he could see with his white eyes, as Shikamaru formed the seal, streams of chakra followed his body and were projected onto the shadow below him, just like a drop of ink dripping onto a pool of clear water, casting the shadow below him
Render quickly.
Shikamaru, who used the shadow imitation technique, focused his gaze. Under his control, the shadow under his feet suddenly separated into a black line as thick as a forearm, and quickly rushed towards Hinata Neji. At the same time, the black line suddenly divided halfway.
There were three, one still rushed straight towards Hyuga Neji, while the other two expanded to both sides, blocking Hinata Neji, as if to prevent him from changing his route, avoiding the black line of the shadow imitation technique, and coming to Shikamaru's side.
"Not good!" Hinata Neji was shocked, quickly stopped his forward momentum, and then immediately retreated, avoiding the pursuit of Shikamaru's shadow imitation technique.
Seeing this, Shikamaru just gritted his teeth and continued to work hard to control the black line to chase Hinata Neji. At the same time, the two black lines that were intended to intercept also changed direction behind the "warning line" of his subordinates and chased Hinata Neji.
"Is this going to turn into a chase!?" Moonlight Hayate, who had already retreated to a corner of the examination room, coughed and thought to himself after seeing the situation in the room.
