Naruto: Starting with Creating a Genius Persona

Chapter 107 Isshin VS Hinata Hizashi (10/16)

Inside the arena.

Kurenai Yuhi looked at the crimson stain on her fingertip, then looked up and gazed deeply at Isshin, who stood there with his sword sheathed and his breathing as steady as ever.

Finally, he slowly raised his hand, facing the referee, and said in a slightly hoarse voice, "I concede."

He then turned to Isshin and asked the question that had been on everyone's mind: "How did you do that? My illusion should have hit its mark, right?"

Upon hearing this, Yixin merely glanced at him indifferently, her gaze as if she were looking at someone who had asked a childish question: "What gave you the illusion that I was under a spell?"

illusion?

The sun rose crimson with a furrowed brow.

He had absolute confidence in the profound illusion technique he had painstakingly developed, and the feeling of being bound by that illusion technique was definitely not an illusion.

But since the other party said that, it's clear they don't intend to reveal the real details.

Kurenai knew there was no point in asking any further questions; no one would reveal their hand for no reason. He looked at Isshin intently for a moment, nodded, and said nothing more. He then turned and walked back to the sidelines with slightly heavy steps.

In reality, Isshin was indeed under the spell, but when the consciousness of the clone "Isshin" was dragged into the lotus cage constructed by the illusion by "Gurenka", the consciousness of the original Shinichi Higashino, who was on the stands, was completely unaffected.

After all, it was Isshin who was under the illusion spell, what does it have to do with me, Shinichi?

It's like a tailed beast and a Jinchuriki, but the sharing of thoughts between the two bodies is far closer, more immediate, and more perfectly synchronized than that between any Jinchuriki and a tailed beast.

Like a dual-core processor, when one core is "crashed" or "reduced" due to an external attack, the other core can instantly and seamlessly take over all control.

Just as Shinku Yuhi thought victory was assured and approached with a relaxed mind, Shinichi's main consciousness, like a supreme commander, bypassed the part of the clone that was interfered with by the illusion, took control of that powerful body, and launched a thunderous counterattack.

After defeating Kurenai Yuhi, Isshin didn't leave. Instead, he raised his head and looked directly at the figure in the divine robe on the high platform. His voice boomed across the now noisy arena: "Third Hokage! Such an opponent is good, but I still haven't had enough!" He grinned, his expression smiling, but his tone revealed undisguised disappointment: "Konoha Village is known as the strongest of the Five Great Ninja Villages! Isn't there any stronger opponent who can get my blood pumping? If so, then my commission fee has been a complete waste."

"Arrogant!"

"How dare you! Who do you think you are?!"

"This is outrageous! Lord Shinku was merely careless for a moment!"

"Just because you won one game by chance doesn't mean you're above the law!"

"Get out of Konoha! You're not welcome here!"

These blunt remarks were like a spark thrown into a hot oil pan, instantly igniting the anger and humiliation that had accumulated in the stands. Shouts and rebukes rose like a landslide and a tsunami, and many Konoha ninjas turned red with anger, wishing they could personally join the fray.

Faced with the almost boiling public resentment and the provocation aimed directly at the village, the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, remained unmoved, still displaying his calm and gentle demeanor, as if he had everything under control.

He gently raised his hand and pressed it down lightly. Strangely, the deafening clamor subsided, demonstrating his unparalleled prestige among the villagers.

"Since Mr. Isshin feels it wasn't enough, then..." The Third Hokage spoke slowly, his voice calm yet clear, echoing throughout the entire hall. His gaze seemingly casually swept over the ninja viewing area: "Konoha will certainly not disappoint the guests who have come from afar."

In the ninja clan's viewing area, at the Hyuga clan's seats, the head of the main clan, Hyuga Hiashi, had a solemn expression. He turned his head and said in a deep voice to his younger brother, Hyuga Hizashi, beside him, "Hizashi, you go."

"Yes, clan leader." Hyuga Hizashi stood up without hesitation. He instantly appeared in the arena and first bowed respectfully to the Third Hokage on the high platform: "Third Hokage, Hyuga Hizashi, a Jonin of Konoha, requests to fight."

"Oh? It's a guest of honor," the Third Hokage nodded. "Then you'll accompany Mr. Isshin in a good match. Make sure the guest has a good time."

"I will obey the Hokage's command." Hyuga Hizashi turned to Isshin, adopting the standard starting stance of the Hyuga Gentle Fist, veins bulging around his eyes, his pure Byakugan already activated, his gaze locking onto his opponent like a torch.

A Jonin from the Hyuga clan personally intervened!

The atmosphere in the stands changed once again, with angry shouts quickly replaced by rising expectations and confidence.

"Great! It's someone from the Hyuga clan!"

"Hyuga's Byakugan and Gentle Fist are perfect counters to guys who only rely on brute force!"

"Let's see how arrogant he can be now! Gentle Fist, pressure point strikes—no matter how strong his body is, he'll be brought down!"

"Hizashi Jonin, teach him a lesson!"

"Let him see the true power of Konoha's prestigious clans!"

In the eyes of the villagers of Konoha, the Hyuga clan, as one of the oldest and most prestigious clans in the ninja world, possesses the Byakugan, which has unparalleled insight and can see through all chakra flows and acupoints.

Gentle Fist can inject chakra into the enemy's body, directly damaging their meridians and internal organs. No matter how strong you are on the outside, you are vulnerable inside.

Dealing with someone like Isshin, who relies on his physical strength to charge around recklessly, is a natural counter!

"Hizashi Hyuga, a Jonin of Konoha."

"The Land of Iron, Ashina Ryuuichi."

Both sides exchanged names, the formalities brief, and then, with the referee's arm swinging down, "Boom!"

As before, even more violent!

The stone slab beneath Yixin's feet shattered inch by inch, and his entire body turned into a blurry afterimage, rushing towards her like an out-of-control chariot with a tearing sound that ripped through the air!

Simple and direct, yet it perfectly embodies power and speed, creating an incredibly awe-inspiring effect!

The veins around Hyuga Hizashi's eyes became increasingly prominent, and the powerful perception of his Byakugan allowed him to clearly capture every movement of his opponent's body and the trajectory of his chakra surges.

He had no intention of confronting the attack head-on. His steps were as light as a breeze, and his figure as ethereal as a drifting catkin. At the critical moment, he slid to the side, narrowly avoiding the frontal charge that could have shattered rocks.

At the same time, he joined his right fingers like a sword, his fingertips gathering highly concentrated Gentle Fist Chakra, silently yet precisely and ruthlessly stabbing at Isshin's exposed side waist vitals after his charge.

Gentle Fist - Acupressure!

If this finger strikes the target, even with Isshin's physique, the flow of chakra in the kidney area will be immediately blocked, affecting the body's balance and power generation.

However, just as Hizashi's fingertips were about to touch the other person's clothes, something unexpected happened!

Isshin's burly body, which had been slightly leaning forward due to the high-speed charge, suddenly stopped with a strange coordination that defied inertia. His left arm swung back strangely like a python without joints, and his clenched fist, like a swinging heavy hammer, whistled through the air and struck Hizashi's temple from below at a tricky angle!

It was a fierce fighting style that attacked where the enemy had to defend, trading blows for blows!
