Naruto: Starting with Creating a Genius Persona

Chapter 108 That's great, it's absolute defense! (11/16)

Hyuga Hizashi frowned, his Byakugan's insight allowing him to instantly calculate the outcome: his pressure point strike might severely injure the opponent's side, but the opponent's swing punch, containing terrifying power, would definitely hit his head at the same time as he landed the blow, causing him to lose consciousness.

In a flash, without hesitation, he retracted his right hand, which had been thrust out, and his entire upper body arched backward like a drifting feather. At the same time, chakra erupted from his feet as he attempted to retreat rapidly.

Just as Hizashi was leaning back to avoid this dangerous counterattack, his old strength was slightly depleted and his new strength had not yet gathered, a delicate moment passed.

Isshin's right side, which had seemed wide open from throwing a punch, suddenly loosened its grip on the knife with its five fingers!

"Clang!"

The soft thud of the samurai sword hitting the ground was almost ignored.

The next instant, as if by magic, that grotesquely shaped weapon reappeared in his free right palm.

A short-barreled firing unit that gleams with a cold metallic light!

The dark muzzle of the gun, less than five meters away, was already aimed at Hyuga Hizashi, who was leaning back and retreating, his body slightly sluggish!

The hearts of the entire audience seemed to be gripped tightly by an invisible hand!

This trick again?!

"mean!"

"Shameless! Not again?!"

"No martial ethics!"

"Watch out, Jonin!"

Inside the audience, a continuous stream of gasps and angry shouts erupted instantly.

Hyuga Hizashi's Byakugan allowed him to see all of this clearly, even noticing the subtle movement of the blast hammer being turned and the faint glow of the gunpowder about to be ignited inside the blast chamber!

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

Scorching flames spewed from the muzzle in succession, and seven bullets tore through the air at speeds imperceptible to the naked eye, forming a deadly barrage as they attacked Hinoki.

Almost at the same time as the shot was fired, the ground beneath Isshin's feet exploded a second time, and he pounced forward like a raging beast, following the barrage of bullets with an even more ferocious momentum!

What kind of firearms are these? The bullets are so fast!?

In that instant, Hyuga Hizashi had the same thought as Kono Jonin from yesterday.

But he displayed the top qualities and decisiveness expected of a Jonin of the Hyuga clan, forcefully stopping his backward lean and turning his hands into a blur that was difficult to catch with the naked eye!

Puff! Puff! Puff! Puff! Puff! Puff! Puff!

Seven soft yet distinct muffled thuds almost overlapped into one!

Hyuga Hizashi's palms danced in front of him, creating a dazzling array of light blue chakra trails, like the most agile catcher, sometimes deflecting, sometimes guiding, sometimes grabbing, sometimes lifting!

None of the seven lead bullets that shot towards him escaped; they were all caught by his hands, which were wrapped in the chakra of the Gentle Fist, either pinched between his fingers, held in his palms, or steadily held up!

Catching a bullet with bare hands!

The whole process was lightning fast, and effortless!

After catching the bullet, he quickly flung it to the ground beside him, making a crisp clanging sound.

"Caught it! Caught it with his bare hands!"

"My God! That's amazing!"

"As expected of a Jonin from the Hyuga clan!"

The audience erupted in thunderous gasps and cheers, the incredible feat even temporarily overshadowing their anger at Isshin repeating his old tricks.

However, the real crisis had just begun. No matter how fast Hizashi caught the bullet and threw it away, it still took a moment to lose some time and distracted him for a moment.

And Isshin's furious barrage of punches and kicks was already upon them!

Hyuga Hizashi's expression was solemn. His hands, which had caught the bullets, instantly transformed into palms, and his soft fists rose again. He parried, blocked, turned, and shifted, deflecting Isshin's fierce and violent punches, elbows, and knees one by one.

The sounds of their fists and palms clashing were as dense as a string of pearls, and their figures crisscrossed rapidly in the center of the arena, making for an extremely fierce battle.

The more they fought, the more frustrated Hyuga Hizashi felt. Whenever he tried to use Gentle Fist to interrupt his opponent's attack rhythm, he was forced to switch to defense or neutralize his opponent's attacks due to his opponent's brutal fighting style of exchanging injuries for injuries, which completely disregarded his own safety.

"This guy's physical skills are that strong too!?"

The audience was overwhelmed by the sights.

"His punches are so fast and powerful, even the Jonin Hizashi seem to be avoiding his attacks?"

"So what? Jonin Hizashi could even catch his bullets, Gentle Fist is definitely..."

'

The audience member hadn't even finished speaking his confident words.

"Well!"

A short, muffled groan, mixed with pain and astonishment, suddenly came from the arena!

In the midst of another fierce exchange of fists and palms, as figures drew close and each other's moves were exhausted, Isshin's right foot, as solid as a steel pillar, stomped down on Hyuga Hizashi's slightly forward-pointing left toes without warning, with utmost naturalness and even a touch of street brawling swagger!

Stepping on your toes?!

This completely amateurish, almost childish, fighting trick appeared in the lightning-fast duel between two martial arts masters, yet its effect was immediate!

"mean!"

"How could you step on my toes!"

"This...this is a move only kids use in a fight! It's outrageous!"

The stands erupted in uproar. Many villagers were stunned by the sudden change in the atmosphere, and then burst into even stronger contempt and anger.

What I really want is this one moment of weakness!

A fierce glint flashed in his eyes. He seized the moment when Hyuga Hizashi's body faltered slightly due to the excruciating pain in his toes, and the rhythm of his Gentle Fist was interrupted. His right leg, which had just stepped on Hyuga's toes, did not even retract before his knee, like a cannonball, bent up and thrust fiercely into Hyuga Hizashi's chest and abdomen, which were slightly lowered due to the pain and wide open!

If this collision lands squarely, even if the battle doesn't immediately decide the winner, the rhythm of the battle will be completely controlled by Isshin!

In the critical moment, Hyuga Hizashi's chakra erupted at an unprecedented speed!

Gentle Fist - Reversal of Fortune!

A powerful and condensed light blue chakra instantly surged from all the acupoints on his body, while his feet spun in place at an incredible speed with an extremely small amplitude!

The surging chakra, along with the rapid spinning of his body, instantly formed an airtight, high-speed rotating spherical chakra shield, completely enveloping his entire body!

Isshin's vicious knee strike landed squarely on the suddenly appearing absolute defense!

Bang! !

With a muffled thud, chakra surged violently at the point of impact! The characteristics of the high-speed rotation of the Reincarnation Technique, which combines a high degree of spiral and a powerful counter-shock force, were fully displayed.

All I could feel was a powerful, rotating, and shocking force coming up my legs!

His burly body was jolted back several steps by the force, his attack faltered, and his body was momentarily frozen and opened up by the sudden recoil.

"Great! It's the Hyuga clan's Rotation!"

"Hmph! This is absolute defense! No matter how strong he is, it's useless!"

"As expected of a Jonin from the Hyuga clan!"

A cheer and a sigh of relief erupted from the stands.
