July 6, Year 60 of the Konoha Calendar, the venue for the Chunin Exam Competition.
The crowd was uneven, but the audience could not be kept waiting, so with the announcement of the referee Shiranui Genma, the first game began.
Uzumaki Naruto and Hinata Neji.
The result was as expected by Yamazaki. Without being able to kill Uzumaki Naruto, Hyuga Neji was defeated and was defeated by the power of the nine tails in Uzumaki Naruto's body.
If you want to defeat the Human Power Pillar, you must either smash the Human Power Pillar's head and completely kill the Human Power Pillar; or possess extremely powerful chakra and crush the tailed beast together...
In the battle, Hyuga Neji easily defeated Uzumaki Naruto's multiple shadow clones and hit Uzumaki Naruto's acupuncture points.
Looking at Uzumaki Naruto kneeling in front of him, Hyuga Neji said slowly: "Do you feel unwilling?"
"Only when you face an unchangeable force can you realize your own powerlessness."
"The idea that you can realize your dreams as long as you work hard is simply a fantasy!"
Uzumaki Naruto stood up, "S-don't be verbose! You act like you understand everything. I'm really annoying you!"
"This has nothing to do with you, you'd better admit defeat as soon as possible."
"Isn't there something new about the idea of dividing the clan? Just because Hinata is a clan, you want to kill her?"
Hyuga Neji stared at Hinata Hizashi in the stands, then looked at Uzumaki Naruto and said solemnly: "I want to kill her, but I can't. Want to know why? Then I'll tell you."
Hyuga Neji took off his forehead protector and revealed a curse seal, "This curse seal is called the caged bird. As the name suggests, with this, unless you die, you will be like a caged bird for the rest of your life and will be controlled by the clan. The clan only wants."
"There is still time for ninjas to quit, but in the famous Hyuga clan, some people only have to die. Every life and every descendant will be bound by this curse seal, just for the secret of Byakugan."
"But, is this useful?"
"Back then, there was a truce between Kumogakure and Konoha, and someone kidnapped Hinata. Later, Hinata was taken back, but the other party died."
"Although it was the other party's fault, in order to calm the other party's anger, the village gave the other party an explanation."
"That confession is my father's body!"
"The famous Hyuga clan has no choice but to surrender in the face of a more powerful force!"
"He, Hinata Hizashi, the leader of the famous Hyuga clan, is such a coward. He keeps saying it is for the good of the Hyuga clan, so why doesn't he die!"
"I hate, I hate that I am a separated person, but I don't have any power to change it. This is my destined fate."
"Now, Uzumaki Naruto, it's your turn!"...
The fight started again, and the power of the Nine Tails emerged from Naruto Uzumaki. Although Naruto Uzumaki did not show super strength, it also helped Naruto Uzumaki heal the damage to his meridians, allowing Naruto Uzumaki to move freely.
Hyuga Neji did not expect that his attack would not work on Uzumaki Naruto. In addition, Uzumaki Naruto immediately replaced the main body with a shadow clone after the attack. The main body just dug a hole with his hands to hide. Hyuga Neji was caught unprepared.
Uzumaki Naruto succeeded with a sneak attack.
Hyuga Neji doesn't have a tailed beast, so he can't stand up after being beaten.
"Hey, you won't say anything about destiny now, will you?"
"Since you have the power of the tailed beast, this match is also destined."
"You guy, why can't you make sense?"
Shiranui Genma interjected: "Smart birds will peck open the cage door with their beaks to escape, because they have not given up hope of flying freely in the air."
Hyuga Neji said: "There must be a cage door, and the flight feathers are usually cut off."...
Ward.
Seeing Hinata Hizashi come in, Hinata Neji asked: "Are you here to kill me?"
Hinata Hiashi said slowly: "I just want to tell you something. I was actually ready to die at that time. It was your father who defeated me and took the initiative to die in my place."
"I didn't die to protect the clan, I died to protect Neji, my brothers, my family, and even the village. I chose to die of my own will."
"It doesn't matter even if it's just once. I have always wanted to defy the fate of the Hyuga clan. I want to choose my own destiny, that's all."
"That's it."
"Please believe that I am not telling you the last words of my brother Hizashi as the head of the Hyuga clan, but as Hizashi's elder brother."
Hyuga Neji burst into tears, "If you hadn't said the last part, I wouldn't have believed you, but now I believe that this is what my father said."
"Being able to choose death is the only choice we, the separated families, have."
"..." Hinata and Hinata were silent.
Hyuga Neji wiped away his tears and said, "Thank you for coming to tell me this. I believe what you said. My father died for brotherhood and the Hyuga clan. I am proud of my father's choice."
"But what about you? Head of the Hyuga clan, do you feel guilty for the death of your brother?"
"If so, just swear an oath and swear never to use the cursed seal of the caged bird again."
Hinata Hiashi shook his head slowly, "I can't do it."
Hyuga Neji said firmly: "Then, you'd better kill me as soon as possible."
"I was imprinted with the Caged Bird curse when I was four years old. I don't want my child to follow the same path as me and let him watch me die for the Hinata family and then become the next me."
"This is not only for my own descendants, but also for all descendants of the Hyuga branch."
"Therefore, I, Hyuga Neji, will definitely try my best to destroy the Hinata family."
"This is my choice. Maybe you will kill me, but I will still do it."
"If my father chose to die to save you, one brother, and to save the Hyuga family, then I chose to die to save many brothers, and to save those Hyuga families."
"Instead of living without freedom and becoming a tool to protect the Hyuga clan, it is better to be an ordinary person without power, and they can live well."
"..." Hinata and Hinata were silent again.
Hyuga Neji lay back on the bed and said, "Master, if you don't kill me now, don't protect your power, and don't maintain the clan's absolute rule over the Hyuga family, then get out. I don't want to see your pretentious face."
"I'm injured, so I won't send it away."...
Chuunin Exam Competition Venue.
Since Uchiha Sasuke never came, and many people wanted to watch the Uchiha family fight, the game skipped the game between Uchiha Sasuke and Gaara and continued.
Kankuro and Aburame Shino.
Puppetry and insect magic.
Compared to other people's competitions, Yamazaki wanted to watch the competition between these two people, because the focus of their competition was not on their respective chakra amounts, but on their skills.
However, contrary to everyone's expectations, Kankuro directly admitted defeat.
So, the game moves on to the next round.
Nara Shikamaru and Temari.
It can be seen that Nara Shikamaru originally wanted to abstain, but was slapped down by Naruto Uzumaki's encouraging slap.
In Yamazaki's opinion, no matter how smart Nara Shikamaru is, Temari can definitely win.
But the result was beyond Yamazaki's expectation. Temari was defeated by Nara Shikamaru's shadow technique.
Nara Shikamaru used his clothes as balloons to extend the length of his controllable shadow, and forced Temari near the hole where Uzumaki Naruto had previously hidden. He used the hole to increase the length of his shadow, captured Temari in one fell swoop, and controlled Temari to raise her hands and admit defeat.
Regarding this battle, Yamazaki was very confused because it seemed that Nara Shikamaru was leading the way.
However, Nara Shikamaru's balloon-like clothes should be just a joke in front of Temari, a wind-attribute ninja, but Temari did not attack.
At the same time, with Temari's amount of chakra, she could completely defeat Nara Shikamaru in a short time as long as she attacked with wind-type ninjutsu. However, Temari not only failed to do so, but also lingered with Nara Shikamaru for several hours.
It's strange. Kankuro and Temari are acting strangely. What's going on?...
