Chapter 73: Hinata vs. Neji

Not to mention Xi Rihong's gloomy look, he returned to Hinata's side.
Originally, Hinata had thought about it and planned to follow the teacher's request and improve her strength as much as possible, but when she saw Naruto beckoning, she instinctively ran over.
However, she still had some scruples in her heart. After all, the teacher's words were still correct, and there was no way to protect Naruto in the future without strength.
But she also didn't want to affect Naruto's mood because of this, and didn't want to alienate Naruto because of her improved strength, which would make him unhappy.
So Hinata thought of a way, that is to accompany Naruto more during the day, and after returning home at night, redouble his efforts to practice and improve his strength.
This will not only take care of Naruto's emotions, but also improve her strength, so that if Naruto is in danger in the future, he will also have the strength to protect Naruto.
Although this would be very hard, I have to stay up late to practice every day, but Hinata is not afraid, because only this is the best way of both worlds.
and so.
She chose to do this without hesitation, letting Naruto hold her hand.
"In the next game, Neji will fight Hinata."
The sound of the moonlight wind suddenly sounded, and Naruto's brows wrinkled slightly.
Considering that Hinata's strength is very different from that of Ningji, Naruto said warmly: "Hinata, don't go, you will lose."
"It's okay Naruto, trust me." Hinata's big eyes were bent into crescent moons.
If he had surrendered before, Yurihong said that getting too close to Naruto would delay his practice, which made Hinata very concerned.
She didn't want others to say that Naruto affected her practice, and she didn't want the teacher to say that Naruto was bad.
So you have to go on the court in person, defend Naruto's reputation with a victory, and prove that even if you are with Naruto, you will not fall into practice.
So this time she looked at Naruto bravely, grabbed Naruto's right hand with her little white hand, and put it on her cheek.
"Naruto, can you trust me?"
Hinata looked at Naruto nervously after speaking, holding Naruto's right hand tightly with her small hand, looking at him hopefully.
Hinata's brave attitude also made Naruto hesitate. If he doesn't support her, who else can support her?
but.
The strengths of Hinata and Neji are very different, and Naruto is also worried about Hinata's safety, but considering that his own strength can stop it in time, he is silent for two seconds.
"If you are in danger, I will take action, even if you ruin the Zhongnin exam."
"Thank you Naruto."
Hina Tian's hands held Naruto's right hand and held it to his chest, staring at Naruto with her white jade eyes.
"I will prove my strength, definitely."
After speaking, Hinata bravely walked towards the battlefield, and walked to the center of the field under Naruto's gaze.
the other side.
Neji walked with a strained face and slowly stopped in front of Hinata.
"Unexpectedly, I would fight with you, Miss Hinata, before starting the fight, I will give you a piece of advice. Abstain. Your character is not suitable for being a ninja."
"No, I will not abstain, I will face it bravely." Hinata shook his head and retorted.
"Hinata, you are the eldest lady of the clan family, with an inferiority complex and cowardice. This is not a ninja character at all, and your strength is too weak to be my opponent at all. You are doomed to fail against me."
Ning Ci said coldly, especially thinking of the scene of his father's death, his hands clenched instantly.
"I can, I...I will prove everything."
Hinata looked at the direction Naruto was, and did not hesitate to speak. He even rolled his eyes and put on a fighting start gesture.
"Then let you completely give up."
Neji also put out his hands-up pose, rolling his eyes open in the next second.
"Start!" the chief examiner said loudly.
Whizzing!
After the examiner's voice fell, Hinata and Neji suddenly mobilized Chakra to start fighting, and the two sides began to fight with soft fists, aiming at each other's meridians to attack.
Bang bang bang!
Relying on a belief, Hinata has the upper hand in the eyes of everyone's surprise, gaining a short-term advantage.
"Not bad, Hinata has the upper hand." Sakura said in surprise when she saw this scene.
The people around him also looked like they didn't expect. After all, Ning Ci was the first place last year, plus one year older and strong, it's not that easy to deal with.
But now, everyone can see Hinata's advantage clearly, which has attracted everyone's admiration.
But Naruto had a cold face, holding his arms and watching this scene coldly, always vigilant about the fighting situation.
His expression made the people next to him puzzled, and the third sister and brother Gaara, who always followed Naruto, also frowned.
"Temari, have you seen it? Hinata has a very important position in Naruto's heart." Kankuro whispered.
"It can be seen that Hinata is really lucky to be valued by Naruto. Naruto's strength is very terrifying."
Temari thought of the previous battle, she turned her head and asked in a low voice.
"Gaara, what do you think is Naruto's strength? If you release that monster, you have some chance of winning."
"There is no chance." Gaara said indifferently.
"No chance? Not even that monster?"
Temari opened his mouth in surprise, but Shouzuru's power was very scary. She thought there should be no chance of winning.
"This Naruto is very weird. Every time he is on the court, he does not come out, and even after he comes out, he will retract."
Gaara was silent for two seconds and continued: "Shouhe, seems a little afraid of Naruto."
"what?"
Temari and Kankuro were taken aback, and looked at Gaara in disbelief, "Are you sure? That's a tail beast."
"Not completely sure, but I will continue to verify." Gaara replied.
Bang!
The popping sound swayed in the audience stage, the air wave spread to the surroundings, and the audience stage under Naruto's feet shattered directly, forming a cracked spider web area.
On the other hand, Naruto, standing on the audience stage, stepped on the cracked floor and stared at the bottom indifferently.
Grunt.
Kanjiuro swallowed and glanced at Naruto with some fear, especially feeling the murderous aura around Naruto, his expression changed slightly.
"Ning Ci only slapped Hinata's wrist, and Naruto almost ran away. This reaction was too big, and the key point was that the murderous aura was too heavy."
"Yeah, look at Ningci. Under this murderous aura, the battle has been affected." Temari gave Ningci a pitying look.
Originally, Neji regained his fighting advantage, and even hit Hinata's wrist, but Naruto almost went violently, and Neji was at a disadvantage.
but.
Temari didn't pay too much attention to Neji, but planned to continue asking Gaara's question.
It's just that when she turned her head to look at Gaara, she found Gaara was taut and looked like an enemy, and even cold sweat appeared on her forehead.
"What's wrong with Gaara?" Temari asked suspiciously.
"It's okay, I have confirmed." Gaara took a deep breath and looked at Naruto solemnly.
"What did you confirm?" Kankuro was blank.
"Confirm that Shouhe is really afraid of Naruto, Shouhe is now shrinking into a ball."
"What? Shrunk into a book ball again?" Kankuro and Temari looked at each other, unable to believe their ears.
The dignified tail beast, the tail beast that made countless people fearful, was scared into a ball by the murderous intent of human beings. It would be too embarrassing to say it.
The key is that the two of them are weak, and even if they are afraid of murderous intent, but you, a tail beast with terrible strength, shrink into a group first, what are you doing?
And even though they are afraid of murderous intent, they still maintain a standing posture, but you, a tailed beast, collapsed into a ball first. This is really speechless.
Even Kankuro and Temari were speechless and didn't know what to say.
It's not just them who feel speechless, Neji below also feels speechless.
The advantage that had been gained from the original battle hadn't been obtained too much, and there was a bang from the rear, and then the murderous intent was rippling around his neck.
The murderous intent was like an invisible knife on his neck, which could kill him at any time, and even his skin was under the murderous intent, and there was needle-stick pain.
Under the threat of such murderous intent, Ning Ci must be fully on guard, always vigilant for the sudden attack, which also caused his battle to be a little messy, and he felt speechless and aggrieved.
No way, this feeling is like playing with fire next to a gas tank that explodes at any time. Who can play this scene at ease?
Therefore, Ning Ci's battle naturally did not reach the peak state, and could only be depressed passively.
the other side.
Danzo, Dashemaru, and three generations of Hokage were frowning at Naruto, looking at the cracked floor under Naruto's feet, and because of the distance, they didn't feel too much murderous aura.
But even the floor under Naruto's feet still made them look dignified, and Osha Maru even squinted to look at Naruto.
"Is this his strength? It seems that he came right this time." Duan Zang quietly said.
"Danzo, what do you want to do?" Three generations of Hokage questioned.
