Ch 416: True Invisibility
“Yuta VS Kimimaro!”
“Huh? How could this be!?”
Naruto saw the name scrolling and stopping on the large screen, and couldn’t help but be surprised.
Wouldn’t this make the two teammates fight each other!?
With a rumbling sound, Yuta picked up all the “dice” on the ground and threw them to Kimimaro.
“Let’s go~”
Kimimaro caught the dice with one hand, and when he opened his palm again, the dice were gone.
The two stood on opposite sides of the examination hall. Tsukiyomi Hayate looked left and right and announced the start of the match.
Kimimaro immediately raised his hand and shouted: “I am not Yuta’s opponent, I give up.”
Such a surrender is not shameful; on the contrary, many people will approve.
Because Yuta and Kimimaro are teammates, and judging from their fighting ability, Kimimaro is definitely stronger than Yuta. Kimimaro, who forfeited, still has the possibility of becoming a Chunin, but if Yuta can’t go on, he probably won’t be promoted to Chunin.
Righteousness!
Naruto grabbed the railing, his heart filled with excitement.
This is the camaraderie he wanted to see!
Sure enough, he’s a good brother, and even his teammates are such people!
In fact, Kimimaro surrendered because he knew Red Bean wouldn’t allow Yuta to surrender. Otherwise, based on his understanding of Yuta, Yuta wouldn’t even have made it out of the Death Forest.
And although Yuta calls himself Older Brother, Kimimaro does consider himself a younger brother.
Few people know that Kimimaro was brought back from the Land of Waves by Hiruko years ago. Even though Hiruko didn’t require him to repay, Kimimaro always acknowledged this kindness.
Hiruko is not in Konoha, so Yuta, as Hiruko’s younger brother, is his older brother.
Even though he didn’t say it out loud because of shame, that’s what Kimimaro thought in his heart.
“You don’t have to do that~”
Yuta and Kimimaro left the stage side by side, shouting loudly as they walked, as if they wanted everyone to hear.
“Actually, a normal fight would be fine. Even if you can’t beat me, I’ll let you win. We’re teammates, you know? Giving up makes my win a bit boring~”
Kimimaro remained silent, but the audience felt a bit disgusted.
Seeing the act of yielding was quite inspiring, but Yuta’s actions made it difficult for people to have any good feelings towards him. It would have been better if Kimimaro had just beaten him up and won!
The next match is Kankuro VS Temari.
Following Kimimaro’s example, Kankuro surrendered as soon as he got on stage.
They are not just teammates; Temari is his older sister!
The second round of sparring matches ended, and the winners were Neji Hyuga, Sasuke Uchiha, Yuta, Temari, and Gaara, who had a bye.
With this arrangement, Yuta knew that Gaara would definitely have a bye until the final round.
There was almost no rest time for the third round; after a short break for a meal, the exam continued.
“Yuta VS Neji Hyuga!”
After announcing the match, Tsukiyomi Hayate looked at Yuta with a look of pity.
Neji didn’t even care about Naruto, let alone Yuta; it would probably be another beating.
Neji leaped onto the stage and looked up at Yuta in the stands.
Yuta chuckled, turned around, and patted Naruto on the shoulder.
“Watch closely, brother, I’ll take care of that guy for you~”
After saying that, Yuta leaned on the railing with one hand and jumped off the stand in one stride.
Thud—
He fell face-first.
The entire venue was silent.
Everyone actually wanted to laugh, except Naruto.
Naruto only felt despair.
However, Yuta didn’t care about tripping over the railing. He got up, casually brushed off his clothes, which didn’t look cleaner than the ground, and naturally walked to the opposite side of Neji.
Neji suppressed the twitching of his lips.
The atmosphere he had painstakingly created was almost ruined by Yuta’s fall.
“Go easy, begin.”
Tsukiyomi Hayate said to Neji, then retreated to the sidelines.
Neji nodded to Tsukiyomi Hayate, indicating that he had received the reminder, then looked at Yuta.
“Grandstanding, Yuta. A ninja without true strength will eventually be exposed. On the battlefield, it’s not just you who will die; you will also endanger your teammates and friends.”
“Humph, to lecture me, you need the corresponding strength.”
Yuta sneered, raising a finger.
“To deal with you, I’ve studied a special tactic. I’ll return all those punches you landed on Naruto one by one!”
“Oh? Just you?”
It wasn’t just Neji who looked down on Yuta; everyone did.
“Just me.”
Yuta said, spreading his palm, facing Neji.
“W-what is that!?”
“Is it some kind of special technique? Did that guy really learn incredible Ninjutsu in Root? After all, Danzo’s strength is not to be underestimated.”
“Strange, why is there no Chakra fluctuation?”
The audience were confused and shocked. No one understood what the eye drawn on Yuta’s palm meant.
Then Yuta slowly raised his other hand to his mouth, gesturing with his index finger.
“Shh—Quiet.”
Swish—
As soon as he finished speaking, Yuta disappeared from his spot.
“What!”
Kai’s eyes widened.
“What amazing Taijutsu talent! Rock Lee, did you see that!”
Rock Lee on the side also widened his eyes.
“Yuta really does have real strength! Everyone underestimated him. Is it the eye on his palm!? Kai Sensei, does Konoha have such Taijutsu!?”
“No… probably not. Even Mr. Chen hasn’t mentioned such Taijutsu. By the way, you haven’t met Mr. Chen yet. I’ll take you to visit him sometime.”
On the other side, Hiashi Hyuga’s brows furrowed.
It wasn’t just Taijutsu; this kid’s combat skills were astonishing.
Neji had fought so many battles, and no one had discovered the secret of the Cage Bird, but that kid… when did he notice it?
After disappearing, Yuta reappeared behind Neji.
The Byakugan has a 360-degree field of vision, but the Cage Bird takes away one degree from it, right behind the spine!
Yuta pointed his palm at Neji’s back. Wherever Neji turned, he followed.
In Neji’s field of vision, Yuta disappeared from the battlefield, but in the eyes of the audience, Yuta remained directly behind Neji, hanging in his blind spot!
“This move, I call it true invisibility. Hehehe, Neji, come find me.”
The audience only heard one sentence from Yuta.
But Neji heard Yuta’s voice from all directions.
Of course, Yuta used Yūhi Kurenai’s Genjutsu ability on him alone.
There was no Chakra fluctuation; Yuta didn’t even need a medium to use this ability.
Neji was momentarily flustered.
He couldn’t even see the opponent with the Byakugan, where was he hiding!
A troubled mind cannot win. Neji tried to calm himself down.
Since his eyes couldn’t see, he would feel it with his heart.
Standing firmly in place, Neji remained motionless.
Seeing Neji not moving, Yuta went up and kicked him in the tailbone.
The tailbone, a remnant of human evolution, helps maintain balance and protect the hips. A strong blow will cause dizziness and loss of balance.
Thud—
With one kick, Neji swayed three times, turned around, but saw no one.
Thud—
Another kick.
One kick after another, Neji’s body swayed wildly, but he was at a loss, his senses somewhat unclear.
The audience had the same expression.
They thought this kid had mastered some profound Ninjutsu, but it turned out to be this kind of dirty trick!
…….
