Chapter 272 Naruto's Fire Release?
Neji unleashed a powerful palm strike, the force of which combined with chakra to create an air cannon.
"Remote attack?"
Naruto was somewhat surprised. Wasn't Neji supposed to be a taijutsu genius? Although his ninja knowledge wasn't great, shouldn't taijutsu be about close-quarters combat?
However, despite the unexpected turn of events, Naruto reacted swiftly, forming hand seals with lightning speed.
Fire Release: Flame Bullet!
Naruto opened his mouth and spat out a fireball.
This is the Fire Release ninjutsu that Jiraiya taught Naruto: Fire Release: Flame Bullet, which involves condensing chakra into an oil-like substance in the mouth and then spitting it out to attack.
Its power is in no way inferior to the Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique, which is favored by the Uchiha clan.
"Bang!"
The fireball and the empty palm collided in the center of the arena, instantly exploding into a sky full of sparks.
As the sparks fell, Naruto quickly completed his next ninjutsu.
This ninjutsu is still Naruto's signature Multiple Shadow Clone Technique.
Another group of Narutos appeared on the field.
"Hehe, let me show you the ninjutsu I developed myself."
More than ten Narutos began to form hand seals simultaneously.
"Fire Release: Naruto's Special Multiple Shadow Clone Chain Fireballs!"
In an instant, the entire arena turned fiery red, with more than ten flames illuminating the entire arena. The flames connected together, transforming into a sea of fire that engulfed Neji.
"Haha, interesting, Naruto who uses Fire Release. And the style of this name is just like Minato's."
When Tetsuya saw Naruto use Multiple Shadow Clone Jutsu and Fire Release: Flame Bullet simultaneously, his eyes lit up.
To be fair, Naruto's battle IQ is quite high, and he's able to develop many impressive fighting styles.
The daimyo of the Land of Fire, standing to the side, stroked his mustache and spoke.
"How interesting. This kid actually has such a huge amount of chakra? Isn't he afraid of using up all his chakra after using up such a ninjutsu?"
"of course not."
Tetsuya explained.
"This child's mother is a descendant of the Land of Whirlpools. You know how outrageous the chakra reserves of those people in the Land of Whirlpools are."
Therefore, Naruto's chakra is far greater than that of ordinary people his age.
"I see. So this blond brat has the blood of the Land of Whirlpools. That makes sense. But his father is really something, managing to dye the red hair of the Uzumaki clan yellow."
Tetsuya smiled and nodded in agreement.
"His father is indeed remarkable; after all, you also acknowledge his father's abilities, don't you?"
The daimyo of the Land of Fire paused for a moment, then quickly realized what was happening.
"You mean, this blond brat is the son of that young Fourth Hokage?"
"That's right, don't you think this blond hair looks familiar?"
"That's true."
Neji remained completely calm in the face of the raging flames.
"It's useless. If you can't break through my Rotation, then using ninjutsu will only be a waste of your chakra."
"Return to Heaven!"
Neji activated the Reverse Technique again, and blue chakra formed an absolute defense around Neji, directly blocking Naruto's Fire Release attack.
"I know, but what I want is for you to use this ninjutsu again."
"Ok?"
Neji stopped his Reincarnation, and Naruto had already rushed in front of him.
"watch out!"
Naruto leaped forward and threw a punch at Neji.
Is that all?
Neji saw Naruto rushing towards him and immediately used a Gentle Fist.
"It's not just that."
Naruto's voice came from below. Naruto slid down from between his legs and kicked Neji in the stomach.
Such a pincer attack from both above and below is truly unexpected.
However, it's still a piece of cake.
Neji precisely caught Naruto's fist as he leaped into the air with one hand, and grabbed his ankle as Naruto slid in with the other.
He twisted his body and used the force against him to throw both Narutos away.
"Gotcha!"
Just as Neji grabbed two of Naruto's clones, the other Naruto clones rushed forward and grabbed Neji's hands, feet, and waist.
"From the very beginning, your goal was to get my attention."
"That's right, now you can't use that move anymore!"
Naruto raised his right hand and began to reassemble the Rasengan with one of his clones.
"Come on, prepare for my final move, Rasengan!"
The two Narutos joined hands and charged towards Neji, pushing the Rasengan with them.
"You're amazing, Naruto. You've already surpassed many people to achieve this."
Seeing Naruto charging towards him, Neji actually laughed.
Sakura, standing in the stands, was puzzled.
"Why is Neji still smiling?"
"That's what Tian Tian replied from the side."
"Because Neji intends to end this battle using his most proficient fighting style."
"His best style? Isn't his best style Soft Fist?"
"No, Neji's strength lies in the combination of strength and gentleness."
On the arena, Neji took a deep breath.
A terrifying burst of chakra suddenly erupted from his body.
"What?!"
Naruto's clones, who were holding onto Neji's limbs and waist, looked puzzled, not understanding what was going on.
Immediately afterwards, Naruto's two clones were thrown out like sandbags.
Seeing that he couldn't control Neji with his clone, Naruto quickened his pace and pushed the Rasengan straight at Neji.
Just as success was within reach, Naruto saw Neji leap high into the air with the remaining three clones.
"Just kidding!"
Naruto's eyes widened in disbelief.
Neji somersaulted over Naruto's head while grabbing the back of Naruto's clothes, and then suddenly exerted force upon landing.
Naruto felt a tremendous force strike him, and he was lifted into the air, flying off the field.
"not good!"
Realizing something was terribly wrong, Naruto quickly summoned several clones to form a human wall, intending to use them to his advantage.
"I'm sorry, I think it's time to end this."
Before Naruto even landed, he looked down and saw Neji, who had caught up with him at some point.
Neji smiled and delivered another palm strike to Naruto in mid-air.
"Thump!"
Naruto flew off the ring and crashed heavily onto the floor outside the ring, landing on his butt.
"Why is this happening? I clearly managed to control you."
Neji laughed.
"You did manage to control me, but you're still a little short. The combined weight of your three clones might not even be as heavy as the weights I wear during my daily training."
"However, you've done very well, forcing me to use power beyond my Gentle Fist style."
The moonlight and the swift wind blew their whistle at just the right moment, delivering their verdict.
"The first match is over. The winner is Hyuga Neji."
Naruto got up and patted his butt. Although he was very unwilling, he had lost.
"Next time, next time I will definitely beat you."
"Alright, I'll be looking forward to your next challenge."
"Just you wait, Neji!"
Naruto made up his mind and decided that when he got back, he would ask the Perverted Sage to teach him more and more powerful ninjutsu.
"Next match: Uchiha Sasuke from the Land of Grass against Gaara from the Village of Sunagakure."
The second battle is about to begin.
Meanwhile, the Sound Ninja, who had been lying in ambush in Konoha, had arrived at their mission location.
The spectators in the stands were so engrossed in the exciting match that they didn't notice the many unfamiliar faces in the audience.
