Chapter 98 Naruto VS Hyuga Neji

Neji opened his Byakugan and stared at Naruto coldly. He then took a fighting stance, but his eyes were filled with contempt and indifference.

With a command from Genma Shiranui, the competition officially began.

Facing the melee type of Neji, long-range ninjutsu attack should have been Naruto's most reliable strategy. However, out of strong confidence in his own strength, and in order to break the so-called fate that was deeply rooted in Neji's heart, Naruto resolutely chose the path of melee. His figure was like a flash of lightning, raising his right hand and rushing straight towards Neji.

Neji looked at Naruto, who was rushing at him like lightning, and raised his mouth slightly, revealing a trace of disdain. In his opinion, Naruto's move was undoubtedly overestimating his own abilities. He quickly dodged to the side, easily avoiding Naruto's attack, and at the same time raised his left hand, ready to grab Naruto's arm and counterattack.

But Naruto had anticipated this. The moment he rushed to Neji, he suddenly changed direction, went around behind Neji, and threw a punch. The wind from his fist whistled, carrying Naruto's determination and courage. Neji was startled. He didn't expect Naruto to be so fast. He quickly turned around and blocked Naruto's fist with his arm.

With a muffled "bang", Neji was pushed back a few steps. Neji's eyes finally showed a hint of seriousness, and he realized that Naruto was not as easy to deal with as he thought. Naruto's eyes were firm, and he had no intention of retreating.

"Ningji, your theory of fate is wrong! I will use my strength to prove that fate can be changed!" Naruto whispered.

Neji narrowed his eyes slightly, and suddenly a feeling of indescribable irritation surged in his heart. He always hated people questioning his theory of fate, and Naruto, who he regarded as the last one, made him even more disgusted.

"Hmph, fate cannot be changed, you are just making a futile struggle." Neji's words were ice-cold, as if they could freeze the air.

As soon as he finished speaking, Neji once again took a fighting stance, and the insight of his Byakugan was brought to its fullest. He flashed like a ghost and rushed towards Naruto. Naruto showed no fear and resolutely met him head-on. The two of them crossed paths on the field, punching and kicking, and the speed was dazzling.

Each collision made a dull sound. After a fierce confrontation, Naruto suddenly realized that it was extremely difficult to extract chakra. It turned out that when the two attacked each other, Neji used the characteristics of his Byakugan to clearly observe the acupuncture points in Naruto's body. Then, he used his soft fist to easily temporarily block these acupuncture points.

Seeing Naruto's attack rhythm getting slower and slower, Neji keenly sensed the opportunity. He gently stepped back a few steps, made a starting gesture, and a Bagua formation appeared in his mind. Naruto's position was surprisingly within the Bagua. Neji no longer hesitated and decisively performed the Bagua Thirty-Six Palms.

Naruto's heart tightened, and he watched Neji attack like a gust of wind, but his movements were restricted due to the difficulty of extracting chakra. He gritted his teeth and tried his best to break free from this predicament, but his body seemed to be out of control.

Neji's figure approached instantly, and his palm shadows poured down like a storm. Naruto tried his best to dodge, but it was still difficult to avoid it completely. Finally, under Neji's fierce attack, Naruto was hit by the Eight Trigrams Thirty-Six Palms and fell heavily to the ground.

Looking at Naruto lying on the ground, Neji sneered with disdain. "The last one is always the last one. Your mouth is always stronger than your strength. Even if you say a lot of nice words, it still can't change your fate of failure."

Just when Neji was about to deal a fatal blow to Naruto, there was a loud bang, and Naruto, who had fallen to the ground, turned into a puff of smoke and disappeared instantly. Neji thought to himself that something was wrong, and when he was about to get away from this place, the disappeared Naruto had already appeared in front of him.

Naruto waved his hands, and then a strong yellow aura emerged from his hands, slowly forming the shape of a golden dragon. The first move of the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms - The Dragon Will Regret. As soon as the golden dragon appeared, it rushed straight towards Neji's chest like an arrow from a bow.

Seeing that he could not avoid it, Neji began to ooze out a large amount of chakra from his body, and then he spun at high speed on the spot, performing the Eight Diagrams Palm Kaiten. Then, a chakra ball tightly wrapped Neji. However, he underestimated Naruto's attack. The golden dragon penetrated Neji's Kaiten like a piece of thin film. Then, it hit Neji's chest heavily. Then, the golden dragon penetrated from behind Neji again and finally dissipated into the air.

After this blow, Neji fell to the ground and vomited three pounds of blood before falling.

Looking at the fallen Neji, Naruto's right hand swirled the fire attribute chakra, slowly forming a ball - Rasengan Explosion. He slowly walked towards the fallen Neji until he pushed the Rasengan in front of Neji. Neji felt the terrifying burning power of the ball, and he knew that he had lost.

When the Rasengan approached Neji, the strong rotation wave easily broke his forehead guard. A green sealing spell appeared on his forehead.

Shiranui Genma watched this scene and instantly flashed to the two of them, stopping Naruto from continuing. "Naruto, stop, you win."

At this time, the audience was in an uproar, and everyone was shocked by this thrilling battle. They stared with their eyes wide open, their faces full of disbelief. Someone exclaimed: "This Naruto is so powerful, it's beyond imagination!" Someone else sighed: "This battle is so exciting, I didn't expect Naruto to be able to defeat the genius Neci." The crowd's discussions continued, and they were all amazed by this wonderful battle.

After hearing what Genma Shiranui said, Naruto slowly put away the Rasengan. His eyes fell on Neji lying on the ground, without any arrogance of a winner in his eyes.

"Ningji, I once said that destiny can be changed." Naruto said calmly.

Neji was lying on the ground, his face as pale as paper, but his eyes were no longer as cold and stubborn as before. He stared at Naruto, and a very complicated emotion surged in his heart.

Shiranui Genma stood between the two, looking at them, his heart filled with emotion. "This match allowed us to witness the powerful strength and firm belief of two outstanding ninjas." He said loudly, "I hope you can continue to grow in the future."

The audience gradually recovered from their shock and began to applaud Naruto and Neji's wonderful performance. This game was not just a contest of victory or defeat, but also a fierce battle of faith and destiny.
