Bab 193: **Chapter 192: Doubting Life (1)**
"Hey, Neji, what's wrong with you?"
Hinata said with a playful smile, "Weren't you just standing tall and proud? Now you're losing your cool in three seconds. That's not good, not good at all!"
"Come on, come on, keep going!"
"Go, Neji, go! Keep it up!"
Hearing Hinata's cheering, the veins around Neji's Byakugan bulged even more.
His expression grew increasingly fierce.
Argh!
This is too much!
"Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four Palms!"
Neji couldn't hold back anymore, unleashing his ultimate move.
Two palms, four palms, eight palms…
He chased after Hinata relentlessly.
But Hinata just giggled, lightly stepping back to easily dodge his attacks.
She's completely seen through him!
The Third Hokage's heart sank.
As expected, it's Uchiha Itsuki!
Only the Sharingan could completely see through the opponent's attacks!
Even though it was Hinata's body, the one in control was Uchiha Itsuki.
With his skill level, even with the simplest taijutsu, he could easily defeat Neji.
But why?
Could it be that he's set his sights on the heir of the Hyuga clan?
Is he really *that* much of a pervert?
Damn.
Does he lose control every time he sees a woman?
The Third Hokage's face filled with suspicion.
Could someone this lecherous still be so powerful?
Though…
If that's the case, he'd be easy to handle.
Even though there aren't many people in Konoha, finding a few exceptional women wouldn't be too hard.
And besides…
He could find hundreds or even thousands of women.
That would wear him out.
The Third Hokage's expression twisted grimly.
Indeed!
Itsuki, controlling Hinata's body, could easily see through Neji's attacks, achieving maximum results with minimal effort.
It was complete domination.
"Are you done attacking?"
Hinata stood at a distance, her posture tall and proud. Despite a hint of arrogance, her aura commanded attention, even from the jonin.
"Then it's my turn!"
With a soft laugh, Hinata lunged toward the slightly panting Neji.
Seeing Hinata leaping toward him, Neji suddenly smirked, confident in his plan.
Hinata, this is the end for you!
*Whoosh, whoosh!*
At that moment…
Hinata swiftly flicked her hand, throwing several kunai.
"How is this possible?"
Neji's pupils contracted to the extreme.
The distance at which she threw the kunai was precisely the maximum range of his strongest defense—Rotation.
It's as if she'd calculated the exact boundary of his Rotation.
That's impossible.
The size of Rotation is determined by how much chakra the user releases.
How could Hinata possibly know how much chakra he was using?
Maybe only Guy-sensei could guess it based on their training.
But no matter…
Neji still used his Rotation.
At this distance, there was no way to dodge.
"Heh heh."
Hinata watched Neji, her smile mischievous.
"Neji, your Rotation is strong, no doubt. It's not only a powerful defense but can also be used offensively."
"Too bad."
"As long as I stay outside your attack range, you'll just be wasting a ton of chakra."
"How many times can you use Rotation, Neji?"
Neji's face changed dramatically.
"So what if I can't use it many times? You won't last long either. All I need is one hit, just one, and it'll be over for you."
"Great! Let's see!"
Hinata threw more kunai.
Neji grabbed one kunai, spinning it to deflect all the attacks.
"I'm coming!"
With a light laugh, Hinata appeared in front of Neji.
"Perfect!"
Neji's eyes gleamed with determination.
He was about to use Rotation again.
This time, he would definitely send Hinata flying.
"Pfft."
But at that moment…
Hinata spat out a black needle, aiming straight for Neji's eyes.
Neji wanted to curse.
She was too close!
He could only dig his feet in, leaping backward to avoid the attack.
His Rotation was interrupted.
"How's it going, Neji?"
Hinata stood proudly, her expression cocky.
"You, the famous genius, are nothing special after all."
Itsuki, controlling her from the shadows, sighed softly.
To be honest…
He really wanted Hinata to spit in Neji's face.
The look on everyone's faces would be unforgettable.
But…
He didn't know Neji well enough. If Neji got mad and took the hit, using Rotation afterward, it would be Hinata crying.
Better to play it safe!
Then, Hinata began to toy with Neji.
Shuriken and kunai flew at Neji continuously.
Hinata herself charged forward several times, engaging Neji in close combat.
Each attack was tricky and unpredictable, leaving Neji scrambling.
Clearly, Neji was the Hyuga clan's strongest genius.
Clearly, he had the Eight Trigrams Palm and Rotation.
Clearly, his Byakugan was powerful enough for precise strikes.
And yet!
Hinata had him completely suppressed.
All his skills were useless.
Neji was furious.
This fight was beyond humiliating.
By now…
Even the jonin could see it.
Hinata's abilities were far inferior to Neji's, but with Itsuki controlling her from the shadows, she had been turned into a champion.
Neji was in danger!
*Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!*
Hinata twirled a shuriken in her hand, taunting Neji, "Neji, I think it's about time to end this. In the next round, I'll finish you off."
"Indeed!"
Neji panted slightly.
He had more chakra than Hinata.
But…
His consumption was much higher too.
If she kept dragging this out, he really wouldn't last.
Luckily…
Hinata wanted to settle things.
Even though he knew that Hinata, with the upper hand, must have a plan, Neji had no choice.
This was his last chance.
It was do or die.
"Here I come!"
Hinata yelled, throwing several kunai as she rushed at Neji.
"A multi-layered attack?"
Neji threw a flurry of kunai and shuriken in response, trying to force Hinata back.
Hinata caught all his attacks with two kunai, deflecting them as she closed in on Neji.
"Hmph!"
Neji grunted and charged at Hinata.
"You've lost!"
Hinata shouted, pulling out several explosive tags and throwing them at Neji.
At this point, Neji had no room to retreat.
And!
If he backed down now, he'd face an endless barrage of attacks from Hinata.
So…
"Rotation!"
Neji shouted, activating his Rotation the moment he got close to Hinata, ignoring the explosive tags.
This was his final Rotation!
He knew he'd get hurt.
There were too many explosive tags.
And!
She was too close!
But!
Hinata would also get hit by his Rotation.
The outcome was uncertain!
Facing this situation, Hinata suddenly smiled.
Like a sly fox, she grinned in triumph.
Then, to Neji's shock, Hinata flew.
She shot straight up, rising into the air.
"Bye-bye, Neji!"
Hinata even waved at Neji, tossing down more explosive tags to make sure the attack would hit hard.
And then…
*Boom, boom, boom!*
