Ninja World: I, Kisame Hoshigaki, am no longer human!

"come on."

As Hinata passed by, Tsunade patted her on the shoulder, encouraging her while also warning her, "I want you to go all out to defeat Karin Uzumaki, understand? If you deliberately hold back just because she's your friend, I will definitely not forgive you."

Hinata shuddered and nodded vigorously, like a chick pecking at rice.

"Very good, go ahead."

Tsunade said with satisfaction.

She truly had great confidence in Hinata, especially after Hinata mastered the Byakugan's power. In Tsunade's mind, Hinata's strength was already among the top three of all her disciples.

In addition, deep down, Tsunade still hoped that she could defeat Kisame fair and square and make that bastard admit defeat.

Hinata and Karin are the youngest among all the disciples, and their strength was about the same three months ago. Their competition best proves who is the better teacher, Tsunade or Kisame.

Therefore, Tsunade decided to send Hinata to fight Karin.

Kisame had anticipated Tsunade's thoughts, so he smiled at her again and teased her:

"It seems our thoughts are perfectly aligned, quite in sync. Karin versus Hinata is sure to be a very exciting battle, don't you think?"

I don't think so.

Tsunade said coldly, then shouted at Hinata, "Hinata, don't waste any more words with them, just attack!"

She worried that Kisame had taught Karin some rhetoric beforehand, instructing her to feign pitifulness and plead with Hinata to sway her will before launching a sneak attack. Although such a thing was despicable, given Tsunade's understanding of Kisame, she was certain he was capable of doing it.

Upon hearing this, Hinata naturally dared not speak to Karin. She immediately assumed the starting stance of Gentle Fist and activated her Byakugan without hesitation.

Karin remained silent, adopting a defensive stance.

next second.

The two girls simultaneously pushed off the ground and charged towards each other.

Karin, this match will be over soon. I'm sorry, but I absolutely have to win, because I can't let Tsunade down.

Hinata thought to herself, and quickly threw a Gentle Fist straight at Karin's vital chest, trying to decide the outcome in one move.

However, what Hinata did not expect was

"Drink!"

Karin shouted and slammed her fist into the ground between them before Hinata's Gentle Fist could hit her.

Chapter 301, Hinata vs. Karin

If you are hit by Gentle Fist, your chakra will be sealed in your pressure points, thus losing your ability to fight.

That means losing.

Therefore, Karin never intended to engage Hinata in close combat from the beginning. Instead, she used her superhuman strength to punch the ground.

boom.

With her full-force strike, the wooden floor of the stage shattered into pieces, revealing spiderweb-like cracks, as if an earthquake had occurred.

The next second, under the impact of Karin's punch, the broken pieces of wood flew into the air and went straight towards Hinata.

Danger.

Hinata ducked, desperately trying to dodge the oncoming sharp wooden spikes. When she couldn't dodge them, she quickly threw punches, using the chakra of Gentle Fist to strike the high-speed flying spikes and deflect their trajectory.

Chi Chi Chi.

Even so, three splinters still grazed Hinata's body, leaving bloody marks on her shoulder, arm, and face.

"Hinata, just admit defeat!"

Karin shouted, giving Hinata no chance to catch her breath, and chased after her, punching the ground again, repeating the same trick.

Hinata didn't say a word, but leaped backward with all her might, putting some distance between herself and Karin.

However, while this would allow for more effective evasion of Karin's attacks, it also meant that he couldn't get close to her, rendering his Gentle Fist useless.

In that case, how can Hinata win?

The answer is Bagua Kongzhang (八卦空掌).

"drink!"

After dodging the flying wooden spikes once again, Hinata took advantage of Karin's exhaustion from throwing punches and revealing an opening, suddenly shouted, and struck the latter with a palm strike from a distance.

The next second, an invisible chakra shockwave shot out from her palm, instantly reaching Karin and striking her body.

Only the White Eyes can see the Bagua Empty Palm, so Karin was unable to dodge it and was sent flying backwards, landing five or six meters away.

what happened? !

The spectators on the sidelines all looked astonished.

Both Karin's continuous super-powerful punches and Hinata's Bagua Palm shocked Temari, Yamato, Suigetsu, and the others, making them realize that their previous assessment of the two girls' strength was wrong.

pain.

Karin clutched her chest and struggled to her feet. Looking down, she saw a large, clearly visible bruise on her chest, as if she had been struck hard with a hammer.

Fortunately, even within the Uzumaki clan, Karin's self-healing ability is second to none. Therefore, as she formed a hand seal, chakra surged from her body, and the bruise on her chest quickly faded away at a visible speed.

Even the Eight Trigrams Empty Palm technique couldn't defeat Karin?

Seeing this, Hinata knew that she was at a disadvantage in terms of chakra compared to Karin, and that if she continued to exhaust herself, she would be the first to collapse.

Therefore, she decided to use her trump card to end the battle quickly.

Thinking of this, Hinata took a deep breath, her entire aura changed, and she rushed towards Karin like lightning.

coming.

Karin's gaze sharpened, and without backing down, she raised her fist once more. A powerful gust of air erupted from her body, making her clothes rustle.

This time, he unleashed his full, superhuman strength.

"They actually learned my superhuman strength. It seems that Uzumaki and Senju really do share the same ancestor."

Tsunade was surprised to see this, but she wasn't worried about Hinata losing. Instead, she smiled and murmured, "Hinata, it's time to use that move."

Just as Tsunade predicted.

Just as Karin and Hinata were rapidly closing the distance, and Karin was about to raise her fist to smash the ground, causing even greater damage, Hinata's twin child-like energy suddenly released a violent surge of power.

buzzing.

In an instant, an invisible force was released from Hinata's Byakugan, spreading outwards like a transparent ripple, instantly enveloping Karin.

Karin froze on the spot, her fist raised, unable to move in shock.

The intimidating gaze.

"Karin, I'm sorry. To make sure I can defeat you in one go, I'll be a little harsher next time."

Hinata gave her best friend an apologetic look, then made up her mind, adopted an elegant yet deadly starting stance, and shouted in a low voice, "Gentle Fist Eight Trigrams Thirty-Two Palms!"

This is the advanced secret of Gentle Fist. Once Hinata uses it, it will strike all the acupoints and meridians on Karin's body. Even if the latter has a strong physique, she will be paralyzed on the spot and unable to recover for a short time.

Karin was certainly aware of this as well.

Therefore, when she found herself immobilized by the oppressive aura of the White Eye and unable to move, she did not hesitate to unleash her trump card and awaken the power within her body.

Take a break!

Just as Karin was about to become a fish on a chopping board, powerless to resist, several golden chains suddenly flew out from behind her, like wildly dancing golden snakes, breaking free from the Byakugan's oppressive aura and shooting towards Hinata directly in front of her.

Diamond Lockdown.

"how come"

Hinata murmured, and before she could react, she was struck by the lightning-fast chain, which sent her flying high into the air before crashing down into the crowd at the edge of the arena.

I'm sorry, Lady Tsunade, I... lost.

These were Hinata's last thoughts before she fell into a coma.

"Hinata, I'm sorry. I also have my reasons for winning."

Karin murmured. She had deliberately controlled the force of her chain attack; although it had knocked Hinata unconscious, it posed no danger to Hinata's life.

"That technique"

When Tsunade saw Karin unleash the Adamantine Sealing Barrier and successfully counterattack Hinata, she was taken aback and quickly recognized it as a powerful ability unique to the Uzumaki clan.

In Tsunade's memory, the only one who could master this technique was the previous Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, Kushina Uzumaki. It was precisely because of this ability that Kushina was able to suppress the Nine-Tails within her for so many years.

Unexpectedly, Karin, who was only five years old, had awakened such a terrifying ability.

Hinata's loss was not unjust.

Thinking of this, Tsunade sighed and glanced at Kisame not far away, who was also looking at her with a half-smile.

"It seems my disciple won the first match. You have no objections, right? The current score is one to zero."

Kisame announced to Tsunade as he walked into the arena, placed a large hand on Karin's thin shoulder, and transferred some chakra to her.

"ho ho"

Karin had just finished a fierce battle, especially after using the Adamantine Sealing Barrier. She was covered in sweat and panting, but she couldn't suppress the excitement and agitation on her face.

"Teacher, I won!" She looked up and said to Kisame with a joyful expression.

"Hmm, you did a good job this time. Go and rest now. I'll reward you later."

Kisame ruffled Karin's red hair and watched her skip and hop back to Kimimaro and Haku, sharing the joy of victory with her two companions.

"Hmph, don't get too excited, there are still two more games to go."

Tsunade snorted coldly, strode past Kisame, and came to the group of disciples.

"Toneri, take Hinata away to rest."

She first glanced at the unconscious Hinata, gave an instruction to Toneri, and then her gaze turned gloomy as she swept over the remaining disciples one by one.

This time, the kids weren't as eager to sign up as before, because after witnessing Karin's Adamantine Lock, they all realized to varying degrees that their opponent was much stronger than they had imagined.

Tsunade also realized this problem.
