Red sand dust

After waiting for most of the day, the final exciting moment finally arrived, and the cheers from the audience were obviously much louder.

There is no need to say much about the reputation of the Hyuga family. Although the Kurama family has declined, it has also left a reputation as a wealthy family in the world.

In the upper circles of the Fire Nation, being rich and capable of fighting are both persuasive. Although they took different routes, both families were well-deserved.

Kurama Yakumo and Hyuga Neji, who represented the two families, naturally became the most watched young geniuses in this year's Joint Chuunin Examination.

"The weather is just right now! You still have five minutes to confirm the final preparations..."

Thinking that the Chuunin Exams, with all kinds of "yokai" candidates emerging one after another, was finally coming to an end, the referee Morino Ihiki also breathed a sigh of relief.

The final winner was surrounded by the Konoha ninjas, which was also one of the expected scenes. Although the Suna ninjas were not weak, they did cause great trouble to the Konoha candidates, but it was always a good thing that one had the last laugh. .

The two people standing side by side, Hyuga Neji crossed his arms, raised his head slightly, and looked at the audience whose faces were red with excitement. He didn't know how many of them were cheering for the supporters because of their bets, or whether they really understood this. The meaning of those magical secret techniques in the Chunin Examination.

"When I lost the battle last year, I felt that the sun was several degrees colder. Now, I feel that I was ridiculously narrow-minded when I was obsessed with trivial matters."

The scar-faced examiner couldn't help but smile and said:

"Genius is both an honor and a shackle. What our Konoha Village lacks is not genius, but the pillars that can truly solve problems for the village! When you can contribute to the Will of Fire, you can realize that standing on How reliable is the Konoha Village behind you..."

"Well, my father should have just held on for a little longer..."

"There are some things that I can't comment on, but..."

Morino Ihiki was not angry at all for Hinata Neji's teasing, and being able to complain, shows that she really means to forget about the tragic past.

"It is true that the village's methods were inappropriate. Just like Konoha White Fang and Hyuga Hizashi, their original intention was not to use force to pressure others or force them to commit suicide, but something happened in the end..."

Hatake Sakumo was affected by the Hokage Controversy, and even Shimura Danzo, who was adding fuel to the flames, probably never thought of forcing Konoha White Fang to death. The war in the ninja world is not over yet, and the operation of self-destruction of a general is not his original intention; As for the issue of the Hyuga family's clan and branch families, as well as the grievances of the caged bird, it is not that Konoha Village has no strength to intervene, but it just has no excuse.

"Your father is the first member of the branch family to openly and openly resist the clan since the Hyuga family merged with the Leaf Village..."

"I understand!"

Hinata Neji nodded to express his understanding and was unwilling to continue talking. Now was not the time to discuss this issue.

God helps those who help themselves!

After all, the Hyuga clan members who grew up under the strict system of clan separation are inherently incapable of resisting order. The Hyuga clan neither actively resists nor asks for help from the village, so what reason do outsiders have to intervene?

Even the arrogant and domineering Uchiha family was wiped out, so Hinata couldn't be cured?

Hinata Hizashi's actions were actually a signal to resist the caged bird with death. Although tragic and ineffective, it at least pointed the way to the unwilling branch family members.

This is the value of being a first mover.

The so-called fate that young Hinata Neji talks about is just an excuse to deceive himself and others.

Being willing to continue fighting in Hinata's name does not mean that Hyuga Neji has really surrendered, and Hinata Hizashi's confession is not that effective.

Putting aside the difference between the main family and the branch family, Hyuga Hinata is also Hyuga Neji's uncle, and Hyuga Hinata and Hyuga Hanabi are both Hyuga Neji's cousins.

In the final analysis, it is just a grievance between one family and they are all relatives whose blood is thicker than water.

"You are a smart kid. As long as you don't get into trouble, your future achievements will be limitless! Behave well and everyone will look at you..."

On the other side, Kurama Yakumo, who was holding a small drawing board, said dissatisfiedly:

"The referee is blatantly encouraging the candidates. Is this to favor Hinata Neji and suppress a weak woman like me?"

"Suppress you? Who dares!"

Morinoi said with a half-joyful smile,

"Although Kurama Yunkai and I are not very familiar, we still know each other fairly well. With his generous money-spending style, if I bully you today, someone will report me in front of the Godaime tomorrow..."

"What's the matter? All of us Kurama clan members are good villagers who abide by the law..."

"You can pull him down..."

The scar-faced man curled his lips.

"Quickly collect your secret skills and let those unlucky ones go. After the official start, if you take the initiative to attack innocent audiences, you will be punished..."

"They are just a few cheating gamblers. I just want to teach them a lesson so that these lost young people can realize their mistakes, change their ways, and start a new life!"

Ignoring Kurama Yakumo's teasing, Morino Ihiki looked up at the sky, and then looked at the direction of Tsunade and Gaara. Without any objection, he announced that the competition had officially begun.

In an instant, the originally calm scene suddenly surged with chakra.

Hyuga Neji stepped forward quickly, wanting to attack first, but Kurama Yakumo was not polite, tearing off the painting on the small drawing board and throwing it into the air.

The scenes on the canvas are constantly pouring out, like abstract oil paint, spreading in all directions, covering the entire arena in a few seconds.

The originally bright sunlight seemed to have dimmed a lot.

"This is……"

Missing a hit, he hurriedly retreated to defend Hinata Neji. Seeing the drastic changes in the surrounding scenery, he couldn't help but feel nervous.

"What an exaggerated illusion..."

"Although it is an illusion, you have to be careful. If you die in it, you will really lose your life!"

Kurama Yakumo disappeared into the darkness, and the sound came from all directions, making it impossible to determine the location of the main body.

The legendary terrifying illusion, even the Hokage has difficulty distinguishing the true and false bloodline secret skills. Even if he stares with blank eyes, he can only see patches of black mist condensed by chakra and the ferocious ghosts that appear in it.

"Even the white eyes can effectively deceive, it's really scary..."

It's not that you can't use Byakugan for detection, but the dangerous area illusion composed of fake objects that are much less effective and almost indistinguishable from the real thing creates an environment where Kurama Yakumo can advance and attack, retreat and defend, and fully control the initiative. .

In the eyes of the audience, the arena where the two originally competed has turned into a foreign land filled with chilling fog. The sky is gray and the sun is pale. Not only does it not bring much warmth, but it also feels like being touched by something unclean. Feeling of rejection.

The ground was crisscrossed with ravines, glowing red, as if flowing with sulfur-scented magma.

"Is this the ghostly fantasy world formed by the negative emotions in Kurama Yakumo's heart? It feels very different from the peaceful and peaceful Pure Land. It feels more like a hell where villains are punished..."

There are six immortals in the ninja world, so naturally there are legends about the six paths. Descriptions of evil spirits and hell are widely circulated throughout the ninja world. Although there are slight differences in different places, there are still some commonalities.

In the ninja world, ghosts are existences similar to monsters, monsters and gods. The souls of people who have not gone to the pure land after death and stay in the ninja world have a special name called "ghosts".

Kurama Yakumo's terrifying fantasy is really a bit like a place where evil spirits and ghosts wander.

This is not intentional, but the fear of people, which is generally what it is like.

Hyuga Neji actually didn't have much experience in dealing with genjutsu ninjas, but he would never go too far wrong if he played slowly and steadily.

Wandering among the ghosts that appear and attack you from time to time, you can freely test the strength of the terrifying illusion.

"The threat is limited, but it is extremely difficult to completely defeat. 』

The soft fist is indeed quite effective in hitting people, and it's also okay in beating ghosts, but it's still a little bit inferior in the end.

There is no human body and no chakra meridians for destruction. He only relies on the characteristics of the soft fist to destroy things that threaten him one by one. Although Hyuga Neji did not consume too much physical energy and chakra, but if this continues, It's always a disadvantage.

Forget it if it is just a protracted battle. I am afraid that I will fall into the illusion and even my perception will be manipulated. A battle that obviously exceeds five minutes may only take a few breaths.

Now, Hyuga Neji can still see the movements of the outside audience, but the sounds have gradually faded away. Except for the occasional weird roar and the sound of the soft fist being used, there is no movement in his ears.

"Is it just a war of attrition? This shouldn't be your only ability..."

Hinata Neji, who took a few breaths, was looking for the location of Kurama Yakumo while thinking about how to break this semi-closed terrifying illusion.

"It's not easy even with this little ability..."

Kurama Yakumo chuckled and said,

"Take a closer look at yourself..."

"What's wrong with me?"

His heart moved slightly, his steps stopped, and his punches became much slower.

Looking down, Hyuga Neji was surprised to see that his waist below was shrouded in black mist rising from the soles of his feet, becoming more and more illusory, and it seemed that he would disappear completely in a short time.

As for the consequences of losing half of the body, it goes without saying that it is definitely not good, and the black fog is still slowly rising and getting thicker.

"What's this?"

"The enemies who enter my world are either eliminated or become part of them. What will be your ending? I'm really curious..."

"Is this how you scare every enemy to death?"

"No, strictly speaking, since I became a ninja until now, I have never killed anyone on my own initiative..."

It has been a long time since the blood inheritance limit was out of control, killing relatives including parents. Now, the eldest lady of the Kurama family has indeed not "seen blood" in more than a year since she became a ninja!

It’s not that I’m being merciful, it’s that it’s not necessary!

Taking away a person's life is a very heavy thing!

"She is the eldest lady after all!"

It's not that this is bad, it's just that Kurama Yakumo is a bit like Hinata Hinata. It's not that they are against killing, but they rarely encounter situations where they must kill.

If there was any danger of human life, other tribesmen would have eliminated it long ago.

Hinata Neji, who was still in the chuunin exams and knew it was not a good time to chat casually, put on a weird soft fist stance. After a simple accumulation of power, chakra flowed throughout his body.

"Soft Boxing Technique: One hit to the body!"

In an instant, Hinata Neji's body showed surging soft fist chakra, surging from every acupuncture point to the outside of the body, shattering the strange spiritual power that enveloped his body.

There was a shattering sound that only sounded in his heart, and it was like taking off a blindfold, allowing himself to see the light of day again. Byakugan's insight ability was restored to a lot in an instant.

"This is a good move. It is quite effective in breaking one's own negative state!"

Kurama Yakumo watched in surprise as Hinata Neji, who had broken through the interference of the five magical senses, finally began to look like a strong man, defeating the deceitful ghosts in the arena one by one. The terrifying illusion built with it as the fulcrum was also a bit unstable. , the thickening black fog also has a tendency to dissipate.

No power can be sourceless. The terrifying illusion is supported by Kurama Yakumo, but its shape depends to a large extent on Hyuga Neji's state of mind.

With no fear and no worries, the power of this blood-stained boundary-limiting secret technique that targets the weaknesses of the human heart is greatly reduced.

"It's really interesting! When it comes to illusions, the caster is very important. Does the person being attacked also determine its power?"

Generally speaking, the Five Elements Escape Technique, such as Fire Escape, no matter what the attacked ninja thinks, it is so powerful anyway, so he must either hide or resist.

Illusion is different. After being hit by the spell, a wise person can actually fight back on the spot. This is why there is such a thing as "illusion rebound".

Hyuga Neji, who roughly understood the nature of Kurama Yakumo's illusion, gave up the idea of ​​continuing to test. After standing still, he calmly gathered the power in his palms and then swayed it out.

"Soft Boxing Technique: Return to Heaven!"

This secret technique of the Hyuga family, which is both offensive and defensive, stirs up chakra airflow that sweeps away the surrounding illusion chakra and quickly splashes it around.

As everyone expected, only oneself and the small piece of land under his feet were safe and sound. The surrounding area was disturbed by the power of Kaitian. A large piece of sand mixed with chakra turbulence covered half of the arena. The audience in the stands, and finally In the first few rows, there were also a few people who were blinded.

"What a powerful punch!"

It was a very unwise choice to directly resist the soft fist. Kurama Yakumo flew into the sky with the winged armor. Seeing that the first tentative attack had been cracked, knowing that he was about to start making serious moves, he quickly activated the Tengu Warrior. Obsession incarnate.

"thunder……"

One arm raised the sword and pointed at the sky. In the cloudless sky, he suddenly remembered the sound of explosion, and a bright silver lightning directly hit Hyuga Neji with irresistible power.

The speed was so fast that it was impossible to dodge. He only had time to block with his palms, and his soft fist could not completely offset its power.

Holding on to his body that was paralyzed by lightning, Hyuga Neji hurriedly changed his position to prevent being attacked again.

The thunder and lightning summoned out of thin air by the Blood Successor Secret Technique and Genjutsu Shinsei are really powerful, but such an attack should not be used often!

Hyuga Neji was thinking like this while waiting for the opportunity to use the Soft Fist Technique: Bagua Kong Palm!
