Naruto: My mother, Haruno Sakura, is so smart that she is almost a demon

After the staff used several wind techniques to blow away all the remaining smell from the canned herrings, the preliminaries continued.

"Damn it!"

Looking at the "Ken Misumi VS Kankuro" on the big screen, Shikamaru couldn't help but curse.

"What's wrong, Shikamaru?"

Ino asked Shikamaru curiously.

“Is there something wrong with these two people?

Anyway, that clown face is nothing special."

Naruto was also very curious.

“Shikamaru isn’t worried about them, but about Choji.

This is the seventh game, who are the players who haven't played yet?"

Asuma quickly realized what Shikamaru was worried about and explained to Ino and Naruto.

“Let me think…

The bandaged weirdo from Otogakure, Hinata, the one with thick eyebrows, Gaara from Sandgakure, Neji and...

Choji!"

Naruto also reacted, and now there were only these six people who had not yet entered the battlefield.

There is no doubt that the strength of the five people except Shikamaru are monster level among the Genin.

Shikamaru is not even on the same level as them.

"The winner is Kankuro."

While everyone was still discussing, Ken Misumi, who had mistaken the puppet for herself, was killed instantly by Kankuro.

"Hyuga Neji VS Hyuga Hinata"

The two names on the big screen surprised everyone present.

"A battle between geniuses from the Hyuga main family and the branch family?"

Kakashi, who finally sealed the curse on Sasuke's shoulder, didn't expect that he would witness such a topical match as soon as he returned.

"Who do you think will win?"

Kakashi was also very interested in this match and asked his three students.

"Of course Hinata!"

Naruto definitely supported his old classmate.

“It doesn’t matter who wins.”

Sasuke is now busy taking care of himself and has no energy left to care about the Hyuga family's affairs.

"..."

Sakura remained silent, which was unusual.

However, her silence had already told Kakashi what she was thinking; Kakashi also knew that Sakura and Hinata had a good relationship, and if Sakura was optimistic that Hinata could win, she would definitely say it directly.

Sakura's silence showed that she thought Neji would be the winner of this match; but she didn't want to say it out loud.

"Don't worry, I'll save Hinata if anything goes wrong."

Kakashi patted Sakura's head and said something soothing and gentle.

Kakashi's opinion is similar to Sakura's. Although he heard that Hinata has finally shown her talent, the time is too short after all, and her accumulation is far less than that of Neci.

"Game start!"

"White eyes, open!" x2

Following Yue Guan Ji Feng's order, two figures flashed by, and with a "bang", they collided fiercely in the middle of the venue.

Neji decided to take the initiative and attacked Hinata's chest with a palm, but he didn't expect that Hinata had no intention of dodging at all, and was too lazy to even block it, but instead attacked his chest with the same palm.

Neji immediately stopped attacking and dodged sideways. He quickly understood Hinata's idea: exchange injury for injury!

Although his proficiency in soft fist, combat experience and reaction speed are superior to Hinata, Hinata has an absolute strength advantage over him. If he hits the opponent at the same time, the injury he will suffer will definitely be more serious than Hinata.

However, because of the change of tactics, Neji had completely lost the initiative in this battle.

Hinata's attack did not stop, and she continued to attack Neci with her palm, still looking like she had given up on defense and was attacking desperately.

Neji seized the opportunity and pulled Hinata's palm backwards to relieve the force of Hinata's palm; the sudden force relief would temporarily disrupt Hinata's balance, allowing Neji to take the initiative.

Unexpectedly, Hinata countered the attack and followed the momentum to attack Neji's ribs with her elbow bent. This move was a method that Sakura often used to deal with Hinata's force release when Hinata was sparring with her.

Neji had not expected that the rigid young lady could actually use physical techniques other than gentle fist. In a split second, he had no other choice but to dodge sideways.

In this way, Hinata's fierce attack continued for more than ten moves, and Ningji also resolved all of Hinata's attacks.

"Teacher Gai! Neji's state is very strange. Why did he give up so many good opportunities? Did he hold back against his cousin?"

Xiao Li, who was watching the fight, didn't understand why Neji fought so awkwardly.

“Look down, Li.

Observation is also part of practice.”

"Yes! Teacher Kai!"

Akai did not directly answer Xiao Li's question, but continued to observe the battle situation.

As a master of taijutsu, Kai could naturally see the reason - Hinata's power was too great.

There are three types of defensive methods in physical combat: blocking, dodging and dissipating force.

But from the very beginning, facing Hinata's attacks, Neji never blocked them, and was dodging or relieving the force the whole time.

Akai knew Neji's talent. Since he chose this method, it meant that Hinata's attack power must be extraordinary. Even if he blocked it, Neji would still be injured.

Neji, who had been in a defensive posture, was finally caught by Hinata and was knocked down by Hinata with a sweeping kick.

Neji, lying on the ground, faced the stomping towards his chest. He immediately mobilized the strength of his waist and abdomen and rolled sideways to avoid the attack.

But Hinata kept chasing Neci and continued to attack him, jumping up and striking him with a knife.

Ningji immediately slapped the ground with his palm, using the reaction force to quickly bounce back to avoid the attack.

Hinata's palm hit nothing, and her palm wrapped in chakra pressed to the ground.

The ground on the field suddenly cracked, stirring up a cloud of rubble.

"Is this... Gentle Fist?"

Looking at the severely damaged ground, Xiao Li also understood what Neci was worried about just now.

"Miss Hinata, it's my turn to attack next."

Neji regained his balance and assumed a stance once again.

The way he dodged just now seemed thrilling, but it was actually intentional on Neji's part.

As the saying goes: If you defend for too long, you will lose. Instead of continuing to defend and exposing a flaw, it is better to take the initiative to give Hinata a flaw. In this way, Neji can at least predict the battle situation to a certain extent.

The result was just as Neji had expected. Hinata, who was chasing aggressively, lost the initiative, and now the two are back on the same starting line.

Hinata frowned slightly when her attack missed, and also took a stance towards Neji.

Soon, the two collided again, but to everyone's surprise, they originally thought that the two would fight fiercely again, but after only a few moves, Neji hit Hinata in the abdomen with a palm.

"Uh--"

Hinata knelt on the ground holding her stomach and bit her lip to prevent herself from screaming.

"Hinata!"

Kurenai Yuhi couldn't help but exclaim. She didn't understand why Hinata was fighting Neji on equal terms just now, but was now defeated so easily.

"Miss Hinata, please admit defeat."

Neji tried to persuade Hinata seriously.

"I admit that you have really changed a lot and have talents that are no less than mine.

But I have completely seen through your boxing style, and you have no chance of winning this match."

Hinata, who refused to admit defeat, stood up tremblingly and attacked Neci again.

Neci used the same trick again and destroyed Hinata's body balance by unloading the force; but the difference was that when Hinata subconsciously swung her elbow at Neci, Neci had already quietly taken a step back and hit Hinata in the ribs with a palm.

This move utilizes the principle that the range of a palm strike is longer than that of an elbow strike, and it is the palm strike that arrives first.

Hinata spat out a mouthful of blood and fell down.

Although Sakura's moves can be considered a way to break the force unloading, Sakura's moves are based on sudden inspiration under the condition of being able to respond to circumstances. If she blindly copies them like Hinata did, she will put herself in danger.

“Everyone’s fate is predetermined from the beginning.

Just like some people are geniuses, while others are always laggards all their lives.

There are some gaps that cannot be filled no matter how hard you try.

Miss, you have done very well, but you are destined to lose to me.

It’s like you are the main family and I am the branch family.

If it wasn't for the Chunin Exam, I wouldn't have dared to use my full strength against the young lady."

Neci still tried to persuade Hinata to back off, but when Naruto heard Neci's theory of fate, his expression suddenly became ferocious, and his fists clenched so hard that they made a creaking sound.

Naruto can't stand people talking about "fate" the most. He firmly believes that as long as he works hard enough, there is nothing he can't do.

"It's the Chunin Exam now, and I have reasons why I must advance.

If you continue to fight, I'm afraid I won't be able to stop, and you might die if you stand up again, Miss."

Neji looked at Hinata who was lying on the ground and still wanted to get up, so he began to half-threaten Hinata to give up.

"Damn you, who are you to decide the fate of others?

Hinata, stand up! Beat that stinking guy up! "

Naruto in the stands got hot-headed and started yelling at the people below.

However, a pink figure suddenly flashed in front of Naruto.

"Snapped!"

A crisp slapping sound spread throughout the examination room, startling everyone. Everyone, including Neji and Hinata, looked at Sakura in disbelief.

Just now, Sakura instantly appeared in front of Naruto and slapped him hard.

Although Sakura has a bit of a bad personality and likes to play tricks on others, she rarely gets so emotional.

"Sakura...why...?"

Naruto's expression was obviously more shocked than the others.

"Naruto, do you know what the consequences of your words will be?"

Sakura withdrew her right hand and stared fiercely at Naruto.

“Not everyone is like you, who can continue to fight even after suffering internal injuries!

There are things that everyone cannot do, just like no matter how powerful I am, I cannot release ninjutsu as easily as you can.

Similarly, if I make up a random code, you will never be able to decipher it.

You didn't even consider how badly Hinata was injured, or whether it would be dangerous for her to continue fighting. You just didn't like Neci!"

Sakura's tone was stern.

In the original work, Hinata was tricked into fighting recklessly because Naruto kept encouraging her.

Doesn’t Hinata know that she is no match for Neci?

Is her persistence meaningful?

Apart from the fact that her injury would relapse in a month, all she got was Naruto's affirmation.

But the silly Hinata still insisted on going on. She was willing to put her own life and death aside for the affirmation of her lover.

Even in Shippuden, Hinata would stop Pain for Naruto.

How similar it is to the scene in the Chunin Exam. Hinata also died meaninglessly for the sake of her sweetheart.

The difference is that during the Chunin Exam, Hinata's life was saved by the Jonins, but when facing Pain, no one will come to protect her.

Hinata's survival had nothing to do with her determination; it was his (Nagato's) kindness!

Sakura believes that with Kishimoto's character, Hinata's selfless plot will appear again in the future.

"I'm sorry, Sakura, I didn't think that much..."

Naruto is not an unreasonable person, he knows that Sakura is right.

Sakura also believed that Naruto did not mean it. Naruto had a strong ability to empathize, and he could always subconsciously put other people's situations into his own. For example, now, he thought that if Neji decided his fate so casually, he would definitely be furious.

If it were him, he would stand up and beat Neji up no matter how he was beaten.

Naruto believed that what he could do, others could do as well.

He felt that since he could stand up no matter how badly injured he was, Hinata must be able to do it too.

He felt that since he, as a monster, could live in harmony with the villagers, then Gaara must be able to do the same.

He felt that if he could let go of his hatred and forgive the actions of the Leaf Village, then Sasuke would certainly be able to do so as well.

"Is there anything wrong with Neji's behavior?

Isn't it because he doesn't want to hurt Hinata that he has been persuading her to give up?

Your behavior of inciting Hinata is hurting her.

If you don't like Neji who always talks about "fate", you can defeat him yourself in the next game and prove him wrong.

Instead of dragging Hinata into this like you are doing now."

Seeing that Naruto was listening, Sakura softened her tone.

Sakura took a deep breath and shouted to the field below:

"Hinata-chan——

Winning or losing is not important! Just try your best!

No matter how badly you are injured, I will heal you!"

As Sakura's voice resounded throughout the examination room, Neji couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and then a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth:

"Congratulations, Miss Hinata, you've made a great friend.

You should support Sakura and admit defeat!

Stop making yourself suffer!"

Uncharacteristically, there was no trace of sarcasm in Neji's tone.

At this time, Hinata's eyes were already filled with tears:

Sakura-chan, you really understand me!

All along, whether it is my father or teacher Hong, they always make various demands on me, hoping that I can become stronger, otherwise I will not be able to become a qualified member of the Hyuga family.

However, I had worked very hard in the past, but I was still at the bottom of the class; if something is impossible to accomplish, it is impossible no matter how hard I try!

Even I felt that it was my own fault that I couldn’t respond to their expectations!

Why has no one ever said to me like Sakura-chan: "It's okay if you can't do it?"

"Of course, that is my most important bond!"

For some reason, a force surged within Hinata's body, and this force even stopped the pain in Hinata's injured internal organs.

"Bond" is a beautiful word. No matter how unexpressible the feelings are, they can be referred to by this word.

"Sakura said:

I hope that when I look back on the past, I will not regret wasting my time, nor will I feel guilty for doing nothing. I hope that I can invest my limited time in my dreams!

This is my way of ninja!"

Hinata's momentum suddenly became stiff, and her Byakugan, which had been closed due to pain, opened again:

"Brother Neji, in the vortex between the branch family and the main family, you are the one who is really suffering!"

"What did you say!"

Neji couldn't believe his ears. Hinata's words drove Neji crazy. Neji decided not to hold back:

"My lady, I will fight with the determination to kill you, so be careful!"

"That's exactly what I want. I can't control this next move. Brother Neji, please don't die!"

Hinata responded to Neci's words mercilessly.

Then, a scene that stunned everyone appeared:

Two blue "arms" formed by the gathering of chakra grew out of Hinata's shoulders;

It’s just that these two arms are a little twisted compared to the coordinated limbs of humans. The forearms are thicker than the upper arms. There are only three thick fingers on the left hand and only four fingers on the right hand.

This is the original ninjutsu that Hinata and Sakura developed together:

"Ninja Technique: Four Demon Fists!"
