Actually, the battle between Hinata and Neji wasn't much to look at.
The Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four Palms that Hinata could barely use by the end of the series, Neji could already perform both forward and reverse sets, totaling one hundred and twenty-eight palms.
(Note: Maintained the names of the techniques to maintain consistency)
The power difference between the two was simply too large, so much so that Neji could have ended the battle instantly if he wanted to.
However, he didn't.
Karin's brow furrowed slightly. "What's with that guy named Neji? He clearly could have taken Hinata out directly, but he held back each time, almost as if he was waiting for Hinata to stand up again. But even if she stands up, she'll just repeat the process. This doesn't feel like a battle, more like simple bullying."
Mujie recalled the situation of the Hyuga clan and then explained, "The Hyuga clan is divided into the Main House and the Branch House. The Main House possesses everything and can control the life and death of the Branch House through a Cursed Seal. Therefore, the Branch House has always hated the Main House. About ten years ago, Hinata's father faced a situation where he needed to sacrifice himself, but in the end, his younger brother from the Branch House, Neji's father, voluntarily stepped forward in place of his older brother."
"The reason Neji's father did this was actually just to protect his older brother. But Neji mistakenly believed that the Main House threatened his father through some means, causing him to go to his death. So Neji has always hated the Main House, and this hatred also extended to Hinata, who belongs to the Main House..."
Stopping here, Mujie suddenly paused, then said with some confusion, "No, thinking carefully, Neji's hatred seems to be directed only at Hinata. As the genius of the Hyuga clan, he often trains one-on-one with Hinata. Every time they train, he beats Hinata black and blue. Even now, if you lift Hinata's clothes, you might find numerous bruises. But even according to his own thoughts, his real enemy should be Hinata's father, yet he has never resisted him..."
While the two were talking, Hinata was knocked down again, but she still struggled to stand up. Naruto's encouragement still echoed in her ears; she didn't want to give up easily in front of the person she liked. So even though blood had already stained her collar, she still assumed a fighting stance!
She even learned from Naruto, taking "never going back on her word" as her ninja way, and ruthlessly exposed the scar in Neji's heart.
But Naruto had the Nine-Tails inside him. When he spoke his mind, not only would he not get beaten to death, he could even beat the opponent half to death in return. But Hinata...
So in the end, the Konoha Jonin had no choice but to stop Neji before he delivered a fatal blow to Hinata.
However, Hinata's heart had already been injured by Neji before that. Her eyes dimmed, and she lost consciousness.
The medical-nin team quickly rushed forward to examine her, then immediately panicked. "This is bad! The equipment here is insufficient! Send her to the medical room quickly, otherwise she won't even last ten minutes!"
Even Konoha couldn't let the daughter of the Hyuga Main House die here.
At this moment, Mujie heard a crunching sound beside him. He turned his head and saw that Karin had already crushed the railing in front of her into scrap metal.
"If Neji and Hinata's fathers are brothers, then aren't the two of them cousins?" Karin's eyes rarely showed such intense killing intent. "He really wanted to kill Hinata. That's not an older brother. That kind of person isn't a brother at all! Next time we meet him, let's kill him."
Neji...
Count yourself unlucky.
"Mm, let's do that." After all, this was his beloved sister's request, no matter what kind of request.
No matter what kind.
Mujie turned back to look at the arena. An enraged Naruto was pointing at Neji, saying he would definitely defeat him to avenge Hinata.
The preliminary selection didn't delay because of this incident. Soon, the contestants for the third match appeared on the screen.
Mujie Uzumaki VS Rock Lee!
Looking at the names on the big screen, Mujie was somewhat surprised. He didn't expect to run into Rock Lee.
The two most troublesome opponents in this Chunin Exam were him and Gaara. Mujie had been hoping they would face each other again.
However, maybe this was also a good thing...
