Ch 24: Brother and Sister Battle

At this moment, Tatsumi's gaze was fixed on Hyuga Hiashi. As expected of the next head of the Hyuga clan, his experience and timing were excellent.

If Orochimaru didn't interfere, Hyuga Himeji, after enduring the full Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four Palms, would have no chance left.

Would Hyuga Himeji fail just like that?

At this moment, the students below the stage were all silent, watching the stage.

However, facing this situation, Hyuga Himeji's face did not show a trace of panic. She remained cold.

Her composure alone was better than most ninjas.

The moment Hiashi's finger touched Hyuga Himeji, a dazzling chakra erupted from Himeji's body.

The chakra quickly formed a semi-circle around Himeji.

"Eight Trigrams Palm: Rotation!" Himeji's voice rang out.

"This is..." Tatsumi stared at Himeji on the stage.

Many students in the audience widened their eyes, they had never seen this kind of ninjutsu.

Several streams of chakra condensed and suddenly entangled Hyuga Hiashi, who was beside Himeji. After delivering several palms, Hyuga Hiashi was spun around by the chakra.

The offensive and defensive positions were instantly reversed!

Hiashi, who originally thought he would win quickly, was entangled by the chakra of Rotation after delivering the first few palms of the Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four Palms!

"Himeji, go for it!"

At this moment, the shouts from the audience grew louder.

Hyuga Hizashi watched worriedly from below the stage, but he couldn't do anything.

"This talent is truly remarkable." Orochimaru, who was constantly watching the situation on the field, also sighed slightly at Hyuga Himeji's talent. He revealed a look of interest.

It should be known that Rotation is a secret technique that only members of the main family can master. At this time, Hyuga Hiashi was only the young head of the clan. Hyuga Himeji and Hyuga Hizashi were still members of the main family.

So they were qualified to learn this secret technique.

But that was all they were qualified for.

Not everyone has the talent to learn it successfully, and Hyuga Himeji was only nine years old at this time. Yet she had already mastered this ninjutsu.

Although Hyuga Himeji's Rotation at this time was only a semi-finished product, lacking much in terms of range and strength, it still showed the horror of Hyuga Himeji's talent.

There are really a lot of geniuses in this year's ninja school.

And in the audience, Tatsumi was also explaining to Mikoto and Minato what Rotation was at this time.

Tatsumi explained, "Eight Trigrams Palm: Rotation is a secret technique of the Hyuga clan. At the moment of being attacked, a large amount of Gentle Fist chakra is released from the chakra points in the body, and then a circular rotating motion is made like a top, which can deflect all physical attacks."

"So, coupled with one's own rotation and the Byakugan's extremely strong observation ability, this move is also known as 'Absolute Defense'."

"Absolute defense?" Minato murmured, "Is there really absolute defense?"

Tatsumi shook his windbreaker and restrained his smile.

"Minato, every ninjutsu has its weaknesses. No ninjutsu is invincible."

Minato nodded.

At this time on the stage, Hiashi was hit by Rotation and struggled on the ground before finally getting up, blood spilling from his mouth.

And Hyuga Himeji, having been hit by several palms of the Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four Palms, was also experiencing problems with her chakra flow.

Hiashi stood up straight and said to Himeji, "Sister, let's end it here."

Hyuga Himeji just stared straight at Hiashi, without replying.

"Hyuga Himeji's idea is very good. She knows that her taijutsu is still inferior to Hiashi's, so she let Hiashi get close. Then, she suddenly used Rotation to hit the unprepared Hiashi."

"Although her Rotation hit Hiashi, it seems that Hiashi suffered more serious injuries."

"However, she also overestimated the power of her Rotation. It should be said that those few palms greatly reduced the effect of her Rotation."

"Now, as long as Hiashi stalls for time, he still has a chance to fight. But Hyuga Himeji can no longer use chakra."

"In the end, it can only delay the time a little. If she can't come up with enough countermeasures in this extremely short period of time, Hyuga Himeji will lose this match."

Tatsumi analyzed the situation on the field.

At this time, Himeji also clearly knew this. If she allowed her brother to recover, she would lose.

So, she took out a kunai and instantly threw five kunai at Hiashi.

Hiashi gasped and barely parried. He couldn't dodge in time and was stabbed in the arm by a kunai. Blood kept flowing.

Himeji punched Hiashi, and Hiashi caught it with his right palm. Then they began to exchange Gentle Fist strikes non-stop.

This tragic duel almost instantly attracted the attention of everyone below the stage.

The audience was silent.

Even Tatsumi couldn't help but widen his eyes, wanting to see clearly who would be the last to hold on.

And Orochimaru, who was standing in a corner of the ring, naturally saw everything that happened. After his snake eyes, which had just stirred, lifted slightly, they returned to calmness.

This is a ninja, a group of killing tools. What is the meaning of life?

Hiashi was now in a state of unspeakable suffering. Although he still had chakra, the severity of his injuries prevented him from exerting his strength.

Himeji's offensive seemed to never stop, constantly entangling him.

"It's not over yet!"

At this time, his gaze was still firm, and he still did not choose to give up at this time.

He couldn't give up, even if the other party was his sister.

If he gave up now, it would be the young head of the Hyuga clan admitting defeat.

He wanted to defeat his sister in a dignified manner, gain her approval, and bring her home.

Hiashi suddenly took a breath and quickly retreated two steps.

"Gentle Fist."

Hiashi struck Himeji's seemingly defenseless shoulder.

"Bang!"

With wide eyes, Hiashi moved his hands quickly, punching Himeji's shoulder.

Himeji endured this punch, and accompanied by the girl's overflowing blood, Himeji did not choose to take a step back at this time.

What she had to do was defeat her brother and prove that her talent was stronger.

Hyuga Hiashi had his persistence, and so did she.

It didn't matter if her chakra was sealed.

She directly grabbed the fist that the other party had struck with,

Himeji directly kicked Hiashi in the stomach. Hiashi couldn't hold on and fell, and Himeji was finally knocked away by the Gentle Fist under the opponent's chakra enhancement!

She struggled to get up.

Seeing this almost tragic scene also made all the students watching below the stage close their arguing mouths. At this moment, no one could laugh.

"I declare this battle a draw."

At the same time, Orochimaru's slightly hoarse voice also came over.

However, there was no cheering at all.

Hyuga Hizashi immediately rushed up, carried his sister Himeji on his back, and ran towards Tsunade.

The poor Hiashi was lying on the ground unattended. After a while, the other children of the Hyuga family ran up and carried Hiashi down.

"The ancient family ninjas are really terrible." Tatsumi sighed like this.

"But this is the ninja, everyone has their own ninja way, and keeps working hard." Tatsumi continued.

"Minato, what is your ninja way?" Tatsumi also asked Namikaze Minato standing beside him.

"Me, my ninja way is—"

After thinking for a while, Minato solemnly replied: "My ninja way is to protect the people I want to protect, and for this, I will work hard to become the Hokage of Konoha!"

"Oh. Hokage?" Tatsumi nodded very plainly, neither mocking nor expressing approval.

After a moment of inexplicable silence, Minato finally couldn't stand the awkward atmosphere and asked with a smile, "Tatsumi, what about you, what is your ninja way?"

"Me." Tatsumi thought carefully, and after a moment of silence, he said, "...I don't know either."
