Hinata was ready, while Naruto's Shadow Clones were still looking at each other in dismay.
"How are we supposed to fight this?" No. 001 asked.
"The main body won't let us use Ninjutsu, I also want to know how to fight," Naruko, who didn't dare to transform today, replied.
The Unnamed Shadow Clone was the calmest: "Grab her shoulders, seize her wrists, trip her, whatever, just control her, right?"
"Let's do that then, brothers, let's go!" No. 001 waved his hand.
Ten Shadow Clones not worthy of having names rushed up. It wasn't that others didn't want to go, but any more would just get in the way.
Hinata looked at the ten fierce (?) little blondes, not panicking at all.
Her feet moved, and her hands struck two clones respectively. They often practiced together, Naruto was familiar with Gentle Fist, and Hinata was also familiar with Naruto's attack habits.
With the aid of Byakugan, Hinata struck one Shadow Clone in the chest with a palm, and the clone dissipated directly. The other palm was blocked by the Shadow Clone with both hands, but he still disappeared.
If it were just ordinary Taijutsu, blocking with both hands stacked in front of the chest like that might have allowed him to live a little longer, but Gentle Fist is a cheat that directly attacks by sending Chakra into the body. If it were a real person, they could withstand it, but Shadow Clones really couldn't.
Gentle Fist Art is simply the nemesis of Shadow Clones.
With the 360-degree vision of Byakugan, she wasn't afraid of the Shadow Clone's siege at all, and with the rapid palm strikes of Gentle Fist Art, it was one kid per move.
The human wave tactics that were very effective against Kiba and Akamaru were difficult to work against Hinata.
A wave of ten Shadow Clones couldn't even last ten seconds in front of Hinata.
Before Naruto's main body could say anything, Mr. No. 001 got angry and said disappointedly, "You bastards, give me some face, at least last three seconds each!"
"Next wave, continue!"
Another ten Shadow Clones rushed up, but the result was similar to the previous round. Hinata's palms danced, either patting or pointing, seemingly striking even more smoothly.
After solving this wave of Shadow Clones, Hinata didn't stay in place, but directly rushed into the crowd, as if she had activated True Hinata Musou.
Naruto watched Hinata's agile steps, flexible figure, nimble hands, and serious and determined expression from a distance. He suddenly wanted to ask Zabuza a question: Don't you feel ashamed? You couldn't even handle a few dozen Shadow Clones back then, and you still wanted to play assassination?
"Zabuza: MMP, if you're so capable, only use Taijutsu when you fight me!"
As the saying goes, a single horse and spear break through the encirclement, and the heroic spirit chills the enemy's courage.
Hinata launched a skill charge against Naruto's clones, catching them off guard.
Fortunately, they quickly adapted to Hinata's offensive, under the wise leadership of the clone boss No. 001... What? No. 001 is dead?
Then under the wise leadership of the clone second-in-command Naruko Uzumaki... What? Naruko is also dead?
Under the clone third-in... Okay, the Unnamed Shadow Clone is also dead.
Four minutes later, the remaining eighty Shadow Clones were all dead.
But they didn't disappoint No. 001's expectations. They showed their style, they showed their momentum, and most importantly, on average, each of them lasted three seconds.
The audience on the stands were amazed by Hinata's performance. Fighting one against a hundred, even if they were just clones, was not something every Genin could easily do.
The knowledgeable Tenten and Rock Lee exclaimed, "Is that the same Gentle Fist Art as Neji?"
Neji's eyes were full of pride, not stingy with praise: "It's not just the same level as me, the young lady's grasp of the timing of her attacks, the changes in her moves, are almost above me."
I didn't expect that in just one month of not sparring with her, the young lady has improved so quickly.
"It seems that Hiashi-sama's judgment of Hinata-sama is completely wrong."
Neji thought it was funny that his clan leader uncle actually said Hinata was inferior to Hanabi. With this kind of offensive, Hanabi would be beaten to the point of not being able to get up, okay?
But... Neji's Byakugan swept over that little blonde, what is that? Can a person possess that much Chakra? When he wanted to compare with other Jonin, Neji saw Kushina... People really can...
Hinata gasped slightly. The highly concentrated Taijutsu duel and the Chakra output of the Gentle Fist Art made her a little tired.
"Naruto-kun, please continue to attack!"
Naruto looked at Hinata's serious appearance and decided to respect her wishes, so he released another hundred Shadow Clones: "This time, let's go all out, don't play Grandpa rescuing Grandpa!"
The Shadow Clones obeyed the order, surrounded Hinata, and then swarmed up.
Hinata was not flustered, and the Gentle Fist Art was unleashed, one little blonde with one move, but the Shadow Clones followed one after another. Finally, Naruko slapped Hinata on the shoulder, leaving a Uzumaki mark.
Hinata was staggered by the blow, and turned back to disperse him with a palm.
Hinata realized that if this continued, the attacks would be too dense and difficult to resist. She could only use that move, although it was not yet complete, but... I still want him to see it!
Hinata took a deep breath and shouted: Guardian: Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four Palms!
Only to see Hinata's pair of small hands flying up and down, so fast that they danced out afterimages, Chakra like Steel Needles spewing out from her palms, shattering all the Shadow Clones that pounced from all directions, even above.
Naruto looked at Hinata, who was waving her arms like the Thousand-Hand Guanyin, in surprise. She even created this move? I haven't seen her practice it usually, could it be that she practiced it herself after returning home?
Looking at Hinata, who was going all out, Naruto reflected on himself, whether he was too disrespectful. Hinata valued the competition so much, but he had been playing around all the time.
Hinata, who had eliminated all the Shadow Clones in one breath, gasped for breath. She had not fully mastered this move, Guardian: Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four Palms.
The Chakra control was not precise enough, which led her to increase the Chakra output in order to ensure the power, so Hinata's consumption was very large now, and she felt that she could not maintain the Byakugan for long.
Hinata struggled to put on a Gentle Fist stance, her tone firm: "Naruto-kun, please... please seriously beat me."
"Okay." As soon as the words fell, Naruto instantly appeared behind Hinata through the mark left by Naruko at the cost of her life, put one hand on her shoulder, and was about to restrain her, but was hit in the chest by a force and knocked back a few steps.
"Gentle Fist Art: One Hit Body!"
Hinata turned around, smiled slightly at the astonished Naruto, and then fell backward weakly.
Hinata did not fall to the ground in the end. Naruto caught her in a princess carry. Naruto felt that this was the best and smoothest time he had used his Flying Thunder God Technique.
"Hinata-chan, why are you fighting so hard today?"
"Naruto-kun, I want you to see... I, I want to say to you..." For some reason, Hinata, who had withdrawn from the battle state, returned to her soft and shy state.
Just as Naruto was curious about what Hinata wanted to say—
"Winner, Naruto Uzumaki!" The referee Hayate Gekko's voice sounded very untimely.
"Eep" Hinata suddenly realized that there were more than just the two of them in the arena, and immediately buried her head in Naruto's arms and refused to speak.
Naruto: ...
Hayate, you bastard!
