Ch 23: Byakugan VS Byakugan

The next match was the one attracting the most attention, as it was a showdown between fifth-year students and graduates.

If Tatsumi's battle received the most cheers, then the next one was the most intense.

The graduating class team, led by Hyuga Hiashi and his brother, faced off against the fifth-year Hyuga Himeji team.

This was a battle between siblings.

"Little sister, just obediently come home if you lose," Hyuga Hiashi said, appearing calm but with unconcealed worry in his eyes as he looked at the girl across from him.

"Senior, please guide me," the girl in the Hyuga clan's uniform replied coldly.

Her white eyes and light blue hair were very similar to the future Hyuga Hinata.

However, unlike Hinata, who always appeared gentle, Hyuga Himeji exuded a coldness, radiating a fierce fighting spirit like an iceberg that would never melt.

Tatsumi, listening from below, was puzzled. Hyuga Hiashi had just called Hyuga Himeji 'little sister,' but Hyuga Himeji called him 'senior.'

"Their relationship seems complicated; there's a story there," Tatsumi thought, his gossip radar lighting up.

Hyuga Himeji bowed to Hyuga Hiashi and then adopted a ninja stance.

At the same time, veins appeared around her eyes as she activated her Byakugan!

"It's the Byakugan!"

"Go, Himeji!"

"Defeat that bastard Hyuga Hiashi!"

If Tatsumi's popularity came from his genjutsu skills and all-around academic dominance, then Hyuga Himeji was undoubtedly a genius with beauty.

She had been famous since entering the academy in first grade. Her beauty was known throughout the ninja school, attracting countless male students to confess to her.

However, no one could capture her heart. From then on, rumors began to circulate that she was a lesbian. (So, suddenly)

She had consistently held the top position in her grade, excelling in every subject.

At the young age of nine, she could already skillfully use the Byakugan. Combined with her proficient Gentle Fist technique, most people were no match for her.

Furthermore, she was the daughter of the Hyuga clan leader, a prominent family in Konoha.

Therefore, she garnered the enthusiasm of most of the boys in the school. She was currently number one on the 'most desired girlfriend' list.

So, women are often trouble, regardless of age.

Speaking of which, she and Hyuga Hiashi and Hyuga Hizashi were siblings, but for some reason, their relationship was extremely strained.

So, the current situation was that when Hyuga Himeji entered the arena, the cheers from the audience instantly grew louder.

In comparison, there was almost no support for Hiashi. Even Hizashi was on his sister's side.

However, Hiashi didn't care about these things. He only cared about his sister.

For a moment, the people in the arena hadn't even started fighting.

The students below were already red-faced and agitated, eager to go up and beat Hiashi.

"Then…" Hyuga Hiashi closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, the area around his eyes was covered with bulging veins. "Byakugan!"

This was a battle of Byakugan against Byakugan.

As one of the three great dōjutsu, the Byakugan can see through the human body's chakra pathways and attack various pressure points. The taijutsu formed from this is the Hyuga clan's famous Gentle Fist.

In terms of taijutsu, the Hyuga clan's ninjas have a unique advantage.

Because the family inheritance includes complete ninjutsu that can be paired with the Byakugan, they rarely use other types of elemental techniques.

But that doesn't mean they don't know ninjutsu.

Of course, what Tatsumi wanted to complain about was that, as Kaguya's eyes, the Hyuga clan had only developed their talent in taijutsu.

It was truly a waste of talent.

Standing on the platform, Hyuga Himeji only wanted to defeat Hiashi and prove that she was more talented.

Hyuga Himeji took a deep breath, and chakra surged out through the chakra points on her hands.

The two approached each other, and after only a moment, Hyuga Himeji and Hyuga Hiashi collided, engaging in a fierce taijutsu battle.

As Hyuga Himeji blocked Hiashi's first palm, she lightly rotated her right hand and struck towards Hiashi's face.

Hiashi ducked his head to avoid Himeji's right palm and channeled chakra through the chakra points in his palm into Hyuga Himeji, attempting to attack Himeji's chakra pathways.

Hyuga Himeji immediately dodged and kicked a side leg at Hiashi. Hiashi dodged, and the two separated.

Hiashi looked at Himeji across from him and didn't try to persuade her to give up. He knew his sister's personality very well, and he also knew why his sister had become like this.

But even he couldn't defy the rules of the ancient clan.

Hyuga Hiashi gathered a sufficient amount of chakra in his legs, and as he jumped up lightly, he simultaneously threw several shuriken directly at Hyuga Himeji!

"That's despicable! Hyuga Hiashi, always resorting to sneak attacks!"

"That graduating class Hiashi is such a despicable guy!"

Some of the kids below became agitated. The group of boys who were particularly fond of Himeji were as excited as if they had been given a shot of adrenaline.

The atmosphere below the stage continued to rise, with some shouting loudly for Himeji to beat Hiashi severely, trying to interfere with Hyuga Hiashi.

Others were family descendants who didn't like the Hyuga clan and were stirring things up.

The Uchiha trio were particularly enthusiastic, even making a banner that read: "Down with the Hyuga Hiashi Reactionary, Save Student Himeji."

Tatsumi pulled Mikoto away from the crowded edge of the platform. He was joking; in a little while, those people would probably rush up and teach Hiashi a lesson.

It was crowded enough as it was, and getting any closer would just be asking for trouble.

At this time, Hiashi, after throwing several shuriken in the air, had already approached Hyuga Himeji.

Hyuga Himeji dodged the shuriken with a Body Replacement Technique. Hyuga Hiashi quickly approached because he had already discovered that Himeji was still a little behind him in taijutsu.

After all, he was a year older than Himeji and physically stronger.

The Hyuga clan's attack methods are relatively simple. All they need to do is get close, then use the Gentle Fist and the Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four Palms to strike hard.

Of course, there are other long-range ninjutsu, but they are not something he can master yet.

And even if he doesn't defeat the opponent in one go, it doesn't matter. After sixty-four palms, Himeji's chakra points will be sealed, and she will have to admit defeat.

Faced with Hyuga Hiashi's strong attack, Hyuga Himeji didn't panic at all, even after being approached. She quickly exchanged palms with Hyuga Hiashi.

After blocking Hiashi's punch, shoulder bash, and kick, she finally found an opening to counterattack, kicking Hiashi hard in the thigh before he could lift it.

The impact force created a brief separation. Hyuga Himeji didn't stop in the air.

Taking advantage of this brief moment of air time, she quickly formed hand seals, followed by "Wind Release: Great Breakthrough."

A violent gust of wind formed, hitting Hyuga Hiashi, who didn't have time to dodge!

"Good!"

The cheers from below the stage instantly resounded throughout the training ground.

The Wind Release technique was fierce, but it had to hit to be effective.

Sure enough, after the Wind Release hit Hyuga Hiashi, it turned into a log.

Where was he?!

"Within my domain, no one can escape this move. Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four Palms!"
