Bab 32: Chapter 32 : Battle Between the Geniuses
"Wow!!, They are so fast"
"They keep on attacking each other but the other one always blocks those attacks"
"Rookie of the Year title isn't just given to anyone after all, They prove that through there skills"
Everyone in the hall were gazing the two Shinobi, Who were sparring with each other only with Taijutsu, Although anyone else would be saying that those two are really strong and good rival for each other, The Chunin and Jonin's present would disagree
To them it was clear as a day that Naruto was just playing with Neji, It wasn't that Naruto was planning on humiliating Neji but to test the former Rookie of the Year and also a Hyuga who are known to be specialize in Taijutsu
Naruto would keep on attacking his Opponent and all Neji could do was defend against all of those attack
Every punch, swing, kick thrown towards Neji would go for his vital spots, means not being able to dodge any one of those attacks and this match potentially might end right on that moment
The thought of that kept Neji on more guard which were making his moments stiff, He wanted to attack Naruto's Chakra points but he could not as Naruto was still not done attacking
But up till now Neji had defended against every attack Naruto threw at him, He thought that Naruto's speed matches his own but Naruto had better judgement and precision
"You Sure?"
Naruto with a swift punch to the gut sent Neji nearly 10 steps behind and he was on his knees as the pain that punch caused wasn't light
"Haa..!, Guess Hyuga's aren't that great, That Old Man sure got my hopes up back then but it seems that it is a lie that your Clan is supposedly the strongest Clan of Konoha"
"What..!?"
Everyone in the hall seemed to felt the weight of those words, Hinata was also taken back by it, Kakashi was not expecting Naruto to have a beef with a Hyuga either, Only two people of Konoha were calm after listening to that, That would be Shikamaru and Choji
Naruto told them how he first met Hinata and how his dream of being the Hokage changed to being the strongest person to exist and the person who did that was a Hyuga, Hyuga Clan had a quite influence in the Konoha so Naruto always wanted fight someone from the Hyuga Clan
The rumours of how Neji Hyuga is one of the strongest younger generation child of the Hyuga Clan intrigued him and he chose to put it to the test
"The thing is, I have always had Hyuga Clan in a high regard, tell me this Senior, Are there any Hyuga Clan members which are stronger than you?"
Naruto asked with a calm demeanour, Not that have we expecting too much or was he excited about this fight, He knew it was gonna be dull
For this moment, Naruto was having fun with someone who's family claimed to be strongest and by defeating them he was stepping closer to his goal
…or so he thought
"You speak as if I have already been defeated? Such arrogance can lead to one's demise"
Neji with such a brief exchange understood that Naruto's strength is not something he can handle, Being good enough is different thing but Naruto was holding his punches and can react much faster than what he is showing
'What am I even saying?, It's not his demise, It's mine'
'What a twisted fate I have to be against him'

"Guess the match would end soon"
Kakashi stood on the sideline with his team said while resting on the wall
"Hmm, What does that mean sensei?, Is Naruto going to lose?, They seem pretty equal to me"
Sakura after hearing Kakashi's words perked up to look for answers
"Naruto is not going to lose, instead it's the opposite, At first he was struggling against Neji but he quickly understood Neji's attacks and quickly gained the advantage"
Kakashi said which all the Jonin which were standing next to him agreed, this includes Guy, Asuma and Kurenai
"Neji is on complete defensive, It shouldn't be a problem normally if one can dodge all the attacks but in this situation Naruto is more less testing Neji, Everytime Neji blocks one of Naruto's attack the next strike come with even more power and precision"
"Kakashi, I understand that but can you explain why Naruto's Chakra Points haven't been affected"
Guy asked as he has been confused about somethings, From the second the battle between these two, Neji used gentle fist to block Naruto's Chakra point and they landed as well but it did not have any lasting effect on Naruto and now he is unfazed even if his Chakra Points are attacked
"Naruto's skills have been an mystery to me, The thing is those Chakra Points did affect Naruto but they do not anymore, All I can say is that fighting Naruto for a long battle is a mistake, He adapts to any situation and somehow turns it against his opponents, I learned that first-hand"
Shikamaru and Choji felt a shiver in the back, They had told Naruto to be careful to not let these secrets be revealed easily but it seems that it won't a secret for long
"You mean he is a Genius who can analyse and adapt to any problems he is facing?, It seems he is quite arrogant though"
Kurenai asked while making that remark in the end, She did not care about Hyuga Clan's image but she has grown on Hinata and couldn't just let it go when she heard Naruto's words
"Well, He is not like that generally, I'm not sure what caused this change in him"
Kakashi understood Kurenai's reason and tried to cover for Naruto but they could not talk anymore as Neji was taken down and had a Kunai aimed at his throat suggesting to surrender
"Match is Over, Naruto Uzumaki Wins"
Proctor declared the Winner and they escorted Neji outside, Neji was not in good condition as his whole body was in pain
Naruto's strike did not cause any severe injury but every strike left an immense pain for Neji to bear
"That was such a Boring Fight, It's as if they don't know how to use Nin-Jutsu"
