Naruto: Thousand Hands of Glory

The sky was covered with dark clouds, as if foreshadowing the coming storm. The sunlight tried hard to penetrate the thick clouds, but was ruthlessly swallowed up when it approached the ground, leaving only a depressing darkness. The air was filled with energy that was about to explode, and the tense atmosphere quietly spread in every corner.

Around the arena, the towering stands were filled with layers of spectators, their eyes like countless searchlights, focused on the empty battle field in the center. The whispers in the crowd gradually disappeared, replaced by an almost audible silence, everyone was waiting for the fierce duel that was about to take place.

The wind began to become restless, howling at the edge of the stadium, blowing up dust and dead leaves, as if prelude to the upcoming battle. The trees swayed in the wind, making rustling sounds, interweaving with the occasional thunder in the distance into a tense symphony.

The figures of the ninjas gradually appeared at the edge of the field, their expressions were serious and their eyes were firm. Yanagishita stood among them, his figure standing out in the dim light. He closed his eyes and took a deep breath, feeling the moisture in the air and the breath of the upcoming battle.

The surrounding environment seemed to be preparing for this battle. The sky, the earth, the wind, and even the audience's heartbeats were all frozen at this moment, waiting for the moment to trigger the battle.

In the center of the arena, Yanagi stood with a confident smile on his face. His voice was clear and firm, spreading throughout the arena: "I will not show mercy in this fight. Rope Tree, you are my good friend, but here, we are just opponents. Show me your full strength and let me see your true power. If you don't want to lie in the hospital for several months, go all out with the attitude of killing me."

There was a firm light in Nawaki's eyes, and he responded: "Xiaoxia, I have known how powerful you are since I was a child. Your talent is indeed above mine. Whether it is learning speed or fighting skills, you are far beyond my reach. But today, I want to let you see how much I have grown over the years. I am no longer the child who needs you to worry about me. I am already a qualified ninja!"

Hinata Hiashi's voice was calm but powerful: "Your strength is indeed awe-inspiring, Yanagishita. But the Hyuga family's gentle fist has been honed through generations, and it is not in vain. In this battle, you will experience its power firsthand."

A spark of anger flashed in Ai's eyes: "I will let you know the consequences of underestimating the Kumogakure ninja. You are very fast and your space ninjutsu is also very powerful. But my lightning escape is also extremely fast and will not lose to you. Let's see who is the fastest man in this contest of speed and strength."

Luo Sha clenched his fists, full of vigor and vitality: "No need to say more, let's fight! The last failure was just a stepping stone on my road to growth. Today, I will use my strength to prove that the ninjas of the Sand Village should not be underestimated."

A trace of appreciation flashed in Yanagishita's eyes, and he danced with his sword: "Very good, I have been looking forward to it for a long time. Nawaki, Hyuga Hiashi, Ai, Luosha, each of you is a worthy opponent. Today, let us show our strength in this battle and let everyone witness our growth and glory."

Rope Tree took a deep breath and prepared for battle: "Come on, Yanagishita. Today, I want to show you all my hard work and growth."

Hinata Hiashi opened his Byakugan and assumed the classic defensive posture of Gentle Fist, ready to fight: "Let's get started."

Lightning flashed around Ai's body: "The lightning escape is ready to be launched. Let's decide the outcome in this battle."

Luosha's magnetic jutsu gold dust surrounds his body: "I can't wait. Let our battle become the most dazzling starlight today!"

With the referee's order, this historic showdown officially began.

Rope Tree's attack was like the prelude to the battle. He used the Water Style: Water Dragon Bullet Technique improved by his second grandfather, Senju Tobirama. This ninjutsu is known for its small number of seals and strong power. Under Rope Tree's control, the water flow surrounded his body and condensed into a mighty water dragon, carrying the force of thunder and lightning, roaring and rushing towards Liuxia.

Facing the surging water dragon, Yanagishita did not choose to dodge or retreat. His eyes revealed a sense of determination and courage, and he drew out the Red Blood Sword directly, ready to face the attack of Rope Tree head-on. In the last battle, Yanagishita showed his amazing speed, and today, he wanted to let the ninja world know that his strength in head-on confrontation should not be underestimated.

"Kill the dragon!" Liuxia shouted, his voice full of strength and determination.

All the audience were stunned by Yanagishita's action. They had never seen anyone try to block a water dragon bullet with a weapon. But the next scene surprised them so much that their jaws almost dislocated.

"What, how is it possible?!" the audience exclaimed.

"That water dragon!" someone screamed.

"It was split directly in two!" Another spectator could hardly believe his eyes.

Liuxia's blood-red sword flashed a cold light, and it was worthy of its name of dragon slayer. The water dragon transformed by Shengshu's water dragon bullet technique was split into two by Liuxia's frontal sword. The huge water dragon had no resistance under the sword, and turned into two streams of water and finally turned into a drizzle, dripping around Liuxia, adding a bit of handsomeness and invincibility to him.

Standing under the willow tree in the drizzle, the water on the Red Blood Sword dripped slowly, and his figure appeared more determined and heroic in the rain. This scene was deeply engraved in the hearts of every audience and became an indelible picture in their memory.

While the audience was amazed by Yanagishita's heroic performance, Ai and other ninjas were not intoxicated by the scene before their eyes. As well-trained ninjas, they knew that the battle would not stop because of a momentary glory, and they had to seize every opportunity.

Hyuga Hiashi had already opened his Byakugan. Those unique eyes did not miss any details and were closely watching Yanagi's every move. As the young patriarch of the Hyuga clan, he had a certain understanding of the Flying Thunder God Technique. Although this space ninjutsu was powerful, it required a medium to work. When the Second Hokage used this unique space ninjutsu, he also needed to rely on the kunai with a mark.

In the previous battle, although Yanagishita did not use kunai, he had many opportunities to come into contact with Huangtu in close combat. Hinata Hiashi knew that it must be the time when Yanagishita marked Huangtu with the Flying Thunder God Mark. But with the insight of these white eyes, Yanagishita will not have the opportunity to silently apply the mark again.

Although Ai and Luo Sha came from other villages and did not know much about the details of the Flying Thunder God Technique, they had also seen the battle in Huang Tu, and the leading elite also warned them to be careful of space ninjutsu. Ai's eyes flashed with determination, he knew that he could not let Yanagishita control the rhythm of the battle. Luo Sha clenched his fists, ready to launch his magnetic escape at any time to restrict Yanagishita's actions with gold sand.

"Everyone be careful, don't give him any chance to mark you!" Hyuga Hiashi's voice rang in the ears of other ninjas. His Byakugan was like a searchlight, illuminating every corner of the battlefield.

Ai and Luo Sha nodded to show their understanding. They began to move around Liu Xia, looking for the best time to attack. Ai's lightning chakra flowed through his body, ready to release a powerful lightning attack at any time. Luo Sha used magnetic chakra to control the gold sand, forming an indestructible defense network.

Liuxia felt the pressure from all sides, and he knew that the next battle would be a difficult one. But there was no fear in his eyes, only the desire for the upcoming challenge. He tightly grasped the Red Blood Sword, ready to meet the joint attack from Ai, Luosha and Hinata Hiashi.

Nawaki said to Luosha, "Restrict Xiaoxia's speed! Don't give him room to develop his swordsmanship!"

Luo Sha instantly understood what Sheng Shu meant. After forming the [Wei] seal with his hands, he instantly summoned gold sand like waves. Then the gold sand turned into countless fine needles. Sheng Shu also formed seals quickly at the same time.

"Water Escape·Heaven Crying!"

"Magnetic Style: Gold Dust Rain!"

Rope Tree's Water Style: Heaven's Cry, the water needles that spewed out of his mouth were not gentle raindrops, but turned into countless sharp needles, piercing through the air at an astonishing speed and pointing directly at Liu Xia's vital points. These water needles flashed cold light under the sunlight, as if each one could decide life or death.

Luo Sha's Magnetic Release: Gold Dust Rain was even more spectacular. The gold dust needles he summoned were like a golden meteor shower, covering the entire battlefield. Each needle contained powerful penetrating power, enough to make the strongest defense vulnerable.

Under the double attack, Hyuga Hiashi's Byakugan was like a sharp sword, penetrating every detail of the battlefield, looking for the best time to launch an attack. Ai was like a lurking thunder, ready to release his lightning power at any time.

The audience's hearts were in their throats, and their concerns for Liu Xia were written on their faces. Some people began to whisper: "Liu Xia is too arrogant, he will definitely fail this time."

However, at this tense moment, a firm and crisp voice broke through the discussions: "Nonsense! Brother Yanagishita will definitely win!" It turned out to be Kushina. She finally had a day off today and came to the scene specially to cheer for her brother.

When Yanagishita heard his sister's voice, a warm current surged in his heart. He waved to his sister in the audience, then turned around and faced the upcoming double surprise attack ninjutsu. There was no panic on his face, showing his calmness.

Kushina witnessed her brother Yanagishita waving to her during the battle. She was so excited that she turned into a steam princess and threw herself into the arms of Mito's grandmother with a flushed face. Her heart beat so fast that it seemed to jump out of her chest, and her body trembled slightly because of nervousness and excitement.

Mito felt Kushina's excitement, she gently stroked the little girl's head and comforted her softly. She saw that even in her arms, Kushina still kept one eye on the battle under the willow, she couldn't help but feel a little funny, but also a little warm.

Grandma Mito said softly, "Kushina, look at how capable your brother is, he will definitely be able to do it."

Kushina nodded in Grandma Mito's arms, her voice trembling a little because of nervousness: "Grandma Mito, my brother...he is really amazing!"

Kushina's eyes were fixed on the arena, her eyes were full of admiration and trust for her brother. She knew that no matter how difficult the battle was, Yanagishita would not give up easily, because he was her brother and her hero.

Dark clouds rolled in the sky, as if playing a prelude to the upcoming battle. Yanagishita stood in the center of the battlefield. Facing the threat of the double surprise attack ninjutsu, he did not choose a head-on sword fight, but decided to use water ninjutsu to deal with it cleverly.

His hands quickly formed seals like a phantom, and he used the Water Style: Water Array Wall that was improved by the Second Hokage. Chakra gathered in his body, like a hidden dragon, waiting for the moment to be released. Yanagi opened his mouth and spurted out a waterfall of water from the depths of his throat. The water quickly condensed in the air and formed a rotating water wall.

This layer of water wall rotated around Liuxia at an astonishing speed, forming an impeccable defense system. The rotation of the water wall was like a whirlpool in nature, strong and powerful, blocking all incoming attacks and making it impossible to penetrate this solid water barrier.

However, with his Byakugan ability, Hyuga Hiashi saw every detail of the battlefield. His eyes, like a sharp eagle's eyes, penetrated the mist of the water array wall and discovered Yanagi's true movements.

"He is not inside the water array wall, be careful, he is in the sky! Rope Tree!" Hinata Hiashi's voice was like an alarm bell, immediately warning Rope Tree, and there was a hint of urgency in his voice.

When Shengshu heard the warning, he was startled and immediately looked up at the sky, trying to catch Liuxia's trace. At the same time, Luosha also felt the change in the situation, and he began to readjust his tactics to prepare for attacks from the air.
