Naruto: Starting with the Two Kamui

Temari swung her fan, sending Neji flying.

Ino's heart only started moving after she turned around!

hum!

Her body went limp and she was caught by Choji. Neji stepped back, and there were several more bloody marks on his body.

"Tenten, tie Temari up!" Shikamaru ordered immediately.

Clang! The chains wrapped around Temari's body...

Shikamaru thought: Only Ino's Mind Transfer Technique is absolutely irresistible. If I don't trick her into revealing it, even the most meticulous plan will have variables... Since Mind Transfer Technique cannot be avoided, I will try to make her apply it at the wrong time to reduce the outcome.

So, Shikamaru took advantage of Ino's fear of his intellect and used a mysterious smile to make her hesitate!

hum! !

Ino's spirit returned to her body.

"What's going on!" Neji asked.

“I was careless, Shikamaru saw right through me…” Ino gritted her teeth.

Temari regained consciousness: "Ugh!! Was that the Mind Transfer Jutsu?! What a troublesome technique!"

Shikamaru said, "Ah, don't worry, Ino won't be able to use that technique for the next few minutes!"

Temari said, "Let me make this clear first: with my chakra, I can't use a wind-style technique as powerful as that one too many times!"

“Ah, I understand…” Shikamaru thought to himself: I have to leave my Shadow Imitation Technique to Hyuga Neji, and I also have to consider that there might be other enemies lurking around. This is really troublesome. For me, whether or not I become a Chunin is completely irrelevant, but as a man, I can't let the girl who depends on me suffer…

Whoosh! Shikamaru and his two companions leaped down from the tree.

Neji thought to himself: Even if I rush forward again, I will be blown away by that woman's wind release. Although I am very unwilling, I will use the same strategy!

Neji said to Choji, "This time, you'll go and seduce them..."

Although Choji was unhappy, he still had a stand at this moment!

Ninja Art: Expansion Technique!

Boom! Choji's body grew to gigantic size, his limbs retracted, and he rolled forward at incredible speed, sending trees flying in his path...

"They're here!!"

Ninja Technique: Kamaitachi! ! !

The storm passed, and Choji's forward-rolling body paused only for a moment before continuing its charge!

There's no other way!!

Temari waved her fan once more!

Wind Release: Great Kamaitachi!!!

Boom! A powerful storm swept through, uprooting all the nearby bushes.

Choji's rolling momentum finally gave way, and he flew backward...

Thud! Temari braced herself against the ground with her fan, drenched in sweat: "Chakra, I've reached my limit...!"

"Thank you for your hard work," Shikamaru said.

Temari replaced Ino and Choji, leaving Neji as a lone commander, while Shikamaru's side... still has Tenten!

Neji glanced at Ino and Choji, who were both incapacitated, then looked at Shikamaru: "The surrounding bushes have been cleared. The shadows you can use are only your own. Believe me, you can't possibly catch them..."

Whoosh! Neji ran towards Shikamaru...

Shikamaru forms hand seals.

Ninja Art: Shadow Imitation Technique!

Whoosh! Shikamaru's shadow stretched out, closing in on Neji...

"Hmph!" Neji dodged quickly, his gaze fixed on his own shadow!

The most troublesome aspect of Shadow Imitation is that it attacks shadows!

Once their shadows overlap, they will fall under each other's control!

To defeat the Nara clan, only a sufficiently powerful ranged attack can be launched beyond the grasping range of their shadows...

A close-combat ninja has almost no chance of winning!

However, the Gentle Fist of the Hyuga clan is an exception, and Neji, who mastered the essence of Gentle Fist at the age of 10, is an exception among exceptions.

Every night, he would practice his boxing alone under the moonlight, day in and day out, for ten years without fail...

For him, maneuvering his shadow to dodge by moving his body is not difficult at all!

It was a little awkward at first, but he adapted quickly!

Spinning, leaping, tumbling, and maneuvering, he moved as if dancing on a knife's edge, rapidly closing in on Shikamaru! Once Neji gets close, the outcome will be decided!

Shikamaru thought to himself: As expected of a genius from the Hyuga clan, this is troublesome enough! If this continues, even if he doesn't get close, my chakra will be exhausted! I was hoping to have Tenten conserve her power to deal with any unexpected situations, but it seems that's impossible now!

"day by day!"

"Leave it to me!"

Whoosh! Tenten, standing next to Shikamaru, unfurled the scroll in her hand.

Ninja Tool: Burst of Hidden Weapons!!

Whoosh! All sorts of hidden weapons were continuously summoned from the scroll and shot towards Neji.

Neji had to dodge the hidden weapons while also keeping an eye on the shadows, which increased the pressure on him!

Soon, sweat poured down his face, but he gritted his teeth and persevered.

Shikamaru said, "Neji, I think that at this point, the best option is for us to stop fighting and live in peace..."

Neji laughed and said, "Nara Shikamaru, I always underestimated you. I didn't expect you to be a hidden dark horse, so I can't let you make it to the finals."

Suddenly, in a certain instant... Shikamaru's shadow stopped.

"Oh~ it seems this is the limit of how long his shadow can extend. Even if it bends or spins, it will still be counted within this limit!"

Neji laughed and charged toward Shikamaru.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

Every day, two scrolls were suddenly tossed up!

Ninja Art: Double Rising Dragon!!

Unfold the two scrolls into two dragon shapes, scattering a large number of ninja tools for indiscriminate attacks... with a larger and wider range!

Without the threat of the shadow, Neji can act more freely.

——Baguazhang·Returning to Heaven!

Clang clang clang clang clang!!

With a single move, all the ninja tools scattered around!

"Now, you're out of luck..." With the battle over, Neji was about to make another dash.

Click!

Suddenly... he froze on the spot, unable to move.

He was shocked to see that the shadow, which had already stretched to its limit, had become entangled with his own shadow!

Cold sweat trickled down his cheeks: "Why!?"

Shikamaru smiled with relief: "Shadow Imitation Technique... Success."

Chapter 269 The Secret of the Heaven and Earth Scroll! (3/4)

Neji was a smart man. Looking at the ninja tools scattered all over the ground, he immediately understood: "You used the shadows of these ninja tools to prolong your own shadow!"

Shikamaru said in surprise, "Oh? You've been discovered? Of the 361 secret strategies I came up with, this is already below average. Neji, you're really strong..."

Neji remained silent, only sighing in his heart. This genius of the Hyuga clan had tasted defeat for the first time due to underestimating his opponent.

"Phew, I didn't expect to fight my own people to this extent..." Tenten breathed a sigh of relief. The 'Double Rising Dragon' she had just used was extremely taxing on her chakra, and she was really exhausted.

Shikamaru, drenched in sweat, pleaded, "Please, Temari, make Neji unable to fight! My Shadow Imitation Technique is about to expire!"

"Understood!" Temari, carrying a large fan, came up behind Neji, raised it high, and was about to knock Neji unconscious.

"Wait!!" Neji suddenly shouted at that moment.

"What? What kind of tricks are you planning to pull?" Temari said quietly.

"An enemy has arrived! Judging from the chakra reaction, they are very strong, all three of them!" Neji said with extreme solemnity.

Temari frowned and turned her gaze to Shikamaru.

Shikamaru stared intently: "Based on my understanding of Hyuga Neji's personality, he wouldn't lie like this!"

Whoosh! Shadow Imitation Technique reached its time limit and was deactivated.

Neji did not launch an attack... his gaze was extremely solemn!

This further confirms that what he said is true!

Of the six people present, five had exhausted their chakra, leaving only Neji, who was absolutely no match for the other three!

"I'm afraid... this is the end for us. I'm sorry, Shikamaru, because of me, you may lose your qualifications, or even your lives! You should leave now, let me hold them off, and perhaps you will still have a chance!" Neji said solemnly.

Shikamaru, however, said, "Perhaps things haven't come to that point yet, and we still have another way to go..."

What other tricks do you have up your sleeve?

"Call Ino and Choji over here! Tenten, Temari, you guys come over too!"

The six of them gathered together. Shikamaru took out the Heaven and Earth Scroll and held it with both hands: "Neji, take out your Heaven and Earth Scrolls, let's open them together!"

“Wait, didn’t the examiner say we can’t do that?” Choji said.

"Never mind that, bring it here right now!" Neji shouted.

Ino took out the Heaven and Earth Scroll and handed it to Neji, who held it with both hands.
