Chapter 136 Ino vs. Neji
"Your taijutsu is stronger than the rumors say." Neji raised his palm and cut Ino's ankle diagonally.
"Thank you for the compliment."
Ino fights with Hinata every day and is very familiar with the Hyuga family's moves. She changes her moves early, transforming the side kick into a sweep, and with a light shout, she delivers a powerful whip kick.
Women are not as strong as men, but their arms are not as strong as their legs. In a flash, their whip-kicks and palms collided, and both of them were shocked.
Ino's current strength is 4, strength 3, and speed 6. Only her speed is barely on par with Neci, and there is a big gap in the other two items.
As long as you can keep the distance, you will win.
With the help of the recoil force, she did a backflip, and before she landed, she threw out two shurikens, two kunai, and four senbon with anesthetics.
Neji did not dodge or evade, but waved his hands up and down, and all the ninja tools were knocked away.
"Opportunity!" The distance between the two sides has been widened to six meters. Ino also has an intuitive judgment of Neci's speed. She finally found an opportunity to perform ninjutsu. At this time, she quickly formed hand seals and spit out a large amount of chakra energy like bullets towards the fan-shaped area in front of her.
"Wind Style. Vacuum Jade!"
Faced with this extremely fast wind-style ninjutsu, Hyuga Neji put his left leg in front and his right leg behind, twisted his waist and swung his arms, used his Byakugan to clearly see the direction of the chakra energy's attack, then quickly spun his body, constantly blocking, slapping, and bouncing with his two palms, releasing chakra from his body to block all the wind energy outside the rotating chakra protective wall.
This is the secret of the Hyuga family, a unique skill that he discovered on his own simply by relying on the Baguazhang, which has the same origin as him. Baguazhang. Huitian!
"Dang dang dang" the wind-attribute chakra collided with the palm, making a series of metallic crisp sounds. Moonlight Gale, who was the referee, had to step back to avoid it.
From time to time, transparent air energy would bounce off and hit the surrounding walls, leaving holes that looked so abrupt.
Ino took advantage of the opportunity when he was defending against the Vacuum Ball to increase the distance between them again, and now there was a distance of eight meters between them.
"Eight Trigrams. Empty Palm!" Seeing that Ino was still retreating, Neji immediately gathered his chakra and struck her side with his palm. The air was squeezed at high speed and attacked like a cannonball.
Ino's retreat was discovered, and she could only dodge to the side when facing Bagua.kongzhang. The distance between the two returned to seven meters. In the blink of an eye, they had exchanged more than ten moves. Ino wanted to distance herself, but the opponent was intent on fighting her in close combat.
"Be careful, this is a poisonous kunai!" Ino raised her hand and threw out three more kunai. One of them was extremely black and smelled disgusting. The other two kunai had detonating talismans tied to the handles.
Ningji didn't dare to take the attack head-on, so he misstepped and retreated to the side to avoid it. The distance between them instantly reached ten meters.
Amid the explosion of the detonating tags, Ino said loudly: "You lose, Neji-kun."
The moment she distanced herself from him, she put her index and middle fingers together, crossed her hands and formed the "壬" seal, and as Naruto exclaimed in the distance, she used the Shadow Clone Technique.
It is still the standard team battle mode of one main body and two shadow clones.
Hyuga Neji quickly used his Byakugan to look, and the Shadow Clone Technique split the chakra of the main body equally. In his Byakugan, the chakras, chakra veins and acupoints of the three Ino were exactly the same, and for a moment he could not tell the real from the fake.
Ino didn't care what he thought. They had already competed in physical skills, and the next step was to use simple and rough ninjutsu to wipe the floor.
No need for any steaming, dangerous, explosive, or combination ninjutsu.
Conventional ninjutsu is enough to deal with Neji.
"Water escape. Water breaking wave!"
"Wind Style. Vacuum Jade!"
"Earth escape. Earth spear!"
She used three B-level ninjutsu in one breath, all of which were jonin-level ninjutsu, especially the Water Severing Wave, which she was best at.
The sharp stone spear broke out of the ground, and the vacuum jade densely covered the fan-shaped area of 120 degrees. The water breaking waves even shot out a dazzling silver water line.
Hyuga Neji had to use Bagua Kaiten again, releasing all the chakra in his body for defense.
Ino smiled smugly. Just defending without fighting back, fighting with chakra? Except for Naruto and Gaara, she was not afraid of anyone among these Genin.
Bagua Kaiten's defense is indeed very strong, and Hyuga Neji is not stupid enough to just stand there and take it.
He stepped on the Bagua and used the characteristics of the Byakugan to observe the attack direction of the ninjutsu and kept moving forward, backward, left and right. He dodged most of the Tsuchiryuu Spears with his exquisite footwork and also knocked the Vacuum Balls away one by one. Only the Suidanbo was unstoppable. Hyuga Neji tried to deflect the attack direction of the Suidanbo from the side, but he didn't expect that this jutsu still cut through the defensive wall of Bagua Kaiten, leaving a deep blood groove on his elbow.
"Eight Trigrams. Breaking the Mountain!" He rushed out like a sharp arrow, and with his bloody elbow he hit Ino who was using "Water Breaking Wave".
"Bang" the shadow clone turned into white smoke and disappeared, he made a wrong judgment.
After getting into the starting position for the soft fist, when he looked back, Ino's team had turned into a three-person team again.
"Water Style. Water Dragon Bullet!"
"Earth Escape. Earth Dragon Bomb!"
"Wind Style. Big Breakthrough!"
Ino used her skilled ninjutsu skills and abundant chakra to release a large number of ninjutsu to attack. Various wind blades, earth spears, and water arrows were fired without stopping. She had firmly controlled the rhythm of the game.
Hyuga Neji gritted his teeth and held on, countering every move. No matter what ninjutsu you use, I can turn the tide with one move! He entered the five-meter range of Ino twice, but his attacks fell on the shadow clone, wasting the opportunity in vain.
Shikamaru, Sasuke, and Naruto were all putting themselves in Neci's shoes, secretly wondering how they would be able to resist the ninjutsu of the great devil Ino if it were them.
Sakura watched the duel on the field nervously. Tenten had a complicated expression and did not support any side. However, Rock Lee was very passionate and kept cheering for Neci. He was the only Genin who cheered for Neci.
As the referee, Moonlight Gale just kept "retreat, retreat", and had already retreated to the outside of the arena. There were too many water arrows and wind blades, and they were too dense. A fight of this level didn't need a referee at all! His life was already miserable, and he didn't want to sacrifice himself here because of a "genin" match.
Hyuga Neji couldn't stop his Kaiten at all. He stared at Ino's hand seals with his Byakugan eyes, and then kept trying to close the distance, occasionally mixing in the Eight Trigrams Palm, but he still had too few means of long-range attack.
Ino has practiced physical skills hard, and her physical skills are weaker than her ninjutsu, but not too weak. Neji's response to long-range attacks, or to powerful ninjutsu, is really too poor.
He was very calm and had not made any mistakes in the battle so far. Facing the overwhelming B-level ninjutsu, even a senior ninja could not have responded better than him, but his decline was becoming more and more obvious.
