章 45: Preliminaries III
Shikamaru Nara VS Tsuchi Kin, the next combat was decided, this is the only other person that uses senbon, but she uses them differently than me, attaching bell and string to them, she creates a distraction as her primary attack, giving her enough time to mix her Chakra with the soundwaves of the bells, creating a hallucination, the only problem is that her hallucination is weak, it can't even be called a Genjutsu, while it affect the perception of the victim it still allows rational thinking, making someone unable to move is just half of the equation, rookie mistake, if she ended the fight with her first attack, we'll be telling a different story, but as many other ninjas, she is arrogant, taking her time to explain her technique to her enemy, giving him time to counter her, a mistake I once made, during the missing-nin incident, and that I still struggle with from time to time.
Anyway, Shikamaru managed to gain enough time to put Tsuchi under the effect of the Shadow Possession Jutsu, using the environment to his advantage, he won by knocking her against a wall, putting an end to the combat, quickly a new combat was announced, Kiba Inuzuka VS Naruto Uzumaki, again Kiba's mistake was the same as Tsuchi's not ending the fight with one attack, in his defense he was fighting the endless stamina of Naruto, and his armor plot, defeated by a fart, and the copy of the copy, The Uzumaki Naruto Barrage, copied from Saske's Lions Barrage, copied from Lee's first movement of the Front Lotus.
The next pair of names on the board were Neji Hyuga VS Hinata Hyuga, the secondary branch gloomy princess against the main branch shy genius, I mean the secondary branch gloomy genius against the main branch shy princess, Neji got first to the arena eager to fight, while Hinata took her time, trembling in fear, avoiding Neji's gaze.
"Lady Hinata, you are the spoiled one of the main branch, people can't change!" Neji raised his voice, earning a small jump from Hinata "a failure will always be a failure... the personality and strength won't change" Neji said, I could see Naruto, and Lee mad at his words, they are the clear example of hardworking genius, "since people don't change, difference exist among them... and expressions as 'elite' and 'failure' are born, everyone judges and are judged, based on the of their face and brain, ability and body type, good and bad points of their personalities" with each word Neji said, the fear in Hinata's face grew "people had to suffer and live within the elements they can't change, just like the fact that I am from a secondary branch of the family, and you are from the main branch this thing can't change" Neji continued speaking.
I saw Naruto about to explode and Lee trembling in anger, I put a hand on their shoulder, they turned around to see me smiling, I indicated them to remain silent and pay attention to his words and demeanor.
"I have seen everything with this Byakugan, that's why I understand!" Neji exclaimed, Hinata jumped once again to the sudden rise of his voice "that is why I know I was wrong, people can change, they can grow stronger, they can break their chains, and forge a destiny for themselves" Neji's words, shocked those that knew him before this day, including Lee and Kurenai who was aware of his resentment against the main branch of the Hyuga family, Hinata calmed a bit after hearing him said that, surprised to the change of heart of his cousin "for that reason, I have to fight you without holding back, I will show the main family and everyone else, that they can't put shackles on me because I will forge my own path!" Neji yelled with a smile, he finally was able to find the answer he was looking for, and all it required was to face the object of his obsession, this time Naruto's influence wasn't necessary, neither on Hinata nor in Neji.
Hinata changed her attitude, she went from a scared puppy to a seasoned warrior facing death, it is incredible how a bit of Talk no Jutsu can change a person from one second to another, both of them entered a battle stance activating their Byakugan at the same time.
"Brother Neji! I will fight you without holding back as well!" Hinata said, steeling her new found resolution to fight, "I will win this fight" she added.
"Fine... I wouldn't want it any other way" Neji said, with a smile, even when he had a serious expression, it was one of a warrior concentrating on a fight instead of a psycho about to torture a small and defenseless animal, he was serene and focused, no hate or resentment present in his eyes.
"Hyuga style, of course they have a similar stance" Lee said, earning a questioning look from Naruto and Sakura "the strongest Taijutsu style in all the Village, I said it before, the strongest Genin of Konoha is on my Team... that's either Neji Hyuga or Kenji Yūhi" He said.
"You are selling yourself too short, Neji was right when he said you have a complex" I told Lee "there is no strongest Genin, only the strongest Team, and that's Team Guy, but we cover each other weakness and amplify our strengths, you better remember that, he has the strongest style, but you have the strongest body, you are the fastest, but I'm the most versatile, I have the strongest Genjutsu, but he has the strongest eyes" I said trying to cheer him up, he looked at me and smiled, knowing that I was right, but a part of him still refused to believe the truth, and until he finds the answer by himself, it will hold him back, the same way Neji's hate was holding him, hard work makes creates miracles, but if the mind is weak all the effort is worthless.
