2Naruto's rapid-fire attackAI Model: gemini-2.5-flashChapter 2 Naruto's Barrage
Neji's breathing quickened; he refused to show fear in front of Naruto.
"Damn it! You Dead Last, still stubbornly resisting now!"
Neji immediately took a stance.
"Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four Palms!"
Neji roared, like a Saint Seiya, and charged at Naruto.
Naruto sneered. As someone familiar with the original story, even though he hadn't learned the Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four Palms,
with his Observation Haki, he had already predicted all of Neji's moves.
"First Palm!"
Neji attacked Naruto's face.
Naruto merely tilted his head slightly.
Neji's palm wind grazed Naruto's cheek and missed.
"Second Palm!"
Neji feinted, then attacked Naruto's lower body.
Naruto simply turned his body slowly, dodging the blow.
"Four Palms!"
"Eight Palms!"
"Sixteen Palms!"
"..."
All the way to the Sixty-Fourth Palm, Narutoremained completely still, not moving an inch.
Meanwhile, Neji had delivered a full sixty-four palms.
Yet, he hadn't even touched Naruto's clothes.
"Damn it! How can he dodge so many of my attacks!"
Neji roared internally.
And Hyuga Hiashi, Hyuga Hinata's father, sitting in the audience, was trembling with shock.
"How can this be? How did that Nine-Tails Brat do it?"
Hinata looked at her father's reaction with some suspicion. She had been worried about Naruto the whole time.
Seeing Neji's every strike just barely miss Naruto, she had truly held her breath for Naruto.
But why was her father so agitated?
"That Nine-Tails Brat is not simple."
"What's wrong, Dad?"
Hinata quickly asked.
"His dodging just now, though seemingly dangerous, was perfectly executed. All of Neji's attacks were within his calculations. It seems we all underestimated him."
Hearing her father's words, Hinata let out a long breath. It seemed Naruto wouldn't be defeated so easily.
As for Hiruzen Sarutobi, his eyes were filled with horror.
As the Hokage, his insight was even sharper.
"Has Naruto grown to this extent already? When did he grow so much? Could it be because of Jiraiya's appearance?"
Hiruzen Sarutobi couldn't find the reason for Naruto's sudden strength either, so he could only attribute it all to Jiraiya.
At this moment, Tenten, seeing this scene, anxiously shouted at Neji: "Neji! What are you doing! Hurry up and finish off that Dead Last! Stop playing around!"
Playing?
Neji felt bitter inside, because only he knew how much Naruto had shocked him just now.
All his attacks had been predicted by Naruto one step ahead. Naruto's playful gaze and composed expression,
made him feel like prey being toyed with.
"Do you only know how to play this cat and mouse game?"
Neji began to change his strategy, trying a provocation.
"Dodging like this, when will we determine a winner? Fight me honorably!"
Neji firmly believed that as long as his attack could land on Naruto and seal his Chakra points, he would be in an unbeatable position.
Naruto sneered.
"Time's almost up. It's time to finish you off."
As he spoke, his eyes changed.
"Multiple Shadow Clone Jutsu!"
Naruto immediately formed hand signs, using the only Ninjutsu he could effectively wield.
Bang, bang, bang!
Several consecutive explosive sounds, and dozens of Narutos appeared in the arena.
Then they charged straight at Neji.
Neji, seeing this scene, did not dodge, but instead revealed a cold smile.
He thought to himself: "The Dead Last is indeed a Dead Last. A simple provocation was enough to hurt him."
"Next, I just need to find his real body."
With that, he no longer hesitated. Facing the Shadow Clones' group attack, Neji decisively used his ultimate move.
"Rotation!"
As he spoke, he took a peculiar stance. With his pivot foot as the center, his body began to rotate.
And Chakra, following the trajectory of his hands, formed an absolute defense system around his body.
It took all the attacks from the Shadow Clones, and at the same time, repelled them.
"This is... Rotation!"
Hyuga Hiashi stood up directly in the audience. One must know that the current Neji was still just a child, yet he had already learned the ultimate secret of the Hyuga Clan.
"He's even learned Rotation. It seems Naruto has no chance now."
Hiruzen Sarutobi had given up hope for Naruto.
"I hope this child will continue to work hard and not be affected by this defeat."
Meanwhile, Hinata clasped her hands tightly, no longer daring to watch the upcoming battle. She found it hard to imagine how Naruto would fend off the powerful Brother Neji.
Bang, bang, bang!
Several sounds of Shadow Clones exploding echoed in the arena.
And Naruto's main body finally appeared in front of Neji.
"Got you!"
Neji struck at Naruto's face with a palm, but Narutododged by tilting his head.
Then, he punched at Neji's abdomen. Nejicountered by using two fingers to strike Naruto's Hukou acupuncture point.
"This time, your arm won't be able to channel Chakra, will it?"
But Naruto's hand still landed on his lower abdomen.
"Without Chakra, such an attack is meaningless..."
Before he could finish his sentence, he felt a huge force send him flying.
Wow!
He spat out a mouthful of fresh blood. How could this be!
At this moment, he saw Naruto's arm had already transformed into something like metal.
It was pitch black.
"How can this be? He should have been paralyzed by my acupuncture point strike, right?"
Neji felt as if his worldview was about to collapse.
Naruto let out a faint cold snort.
"Is Armament Haki something your'scraping massage' palm technique can withstand?"
And his attack wasn't over. Naruto grabbed Neji's wrist, pulling back Neji, who was still in mid-air from being knocked back.
He kicked him into the air, then once again used Shadow Clone Jutsu.
To avoid revealing too many of his trump cards, he decided he still needed to disguise himself.
"Naruto Uzumaki Barrage!"
Four Narutos simultaneously leaped into the air, delivering the final blow to Neji, who fell to the ground and could not get up again.
The entire arena was silent.
Naruto landed on the ground and said nonchalantly to Shiranui Genma: "Hey, examiner, did I win?"
Shiranui Genma quickly wiped the cold sweat from his forehead: "Ah... yes, the winner of the first match, Uzumaki Naruto!"
As someone who experienced Naruto's battle up close, Shiranui Genma still couldn't understand how Neji lost.
That powerful Rotation was actually worn down by Naruto using Shadow Clones.
Then, he closed in directly to end the battle. Everything happened too fast.
Whoosh!
A few breaths after the words, everyone finally reacted.
"Is it true or false? That Nine-Tails Brat actually won!"
"You're kidding, right? I didn't even realize what happened?"
"Oh my god, Neji actually lost."
