The Boundless Journey, Starting From Bofuri

Regarding the Hyuga Clan’s system, as an outsider, Takeru couldn’t comment much. However, in Konoha, both the original Senju and Uchiha Clans had perished, while the Hyuga Clan alone continued to thrive. This indicated it had certain merits.

"That look... is he still resentful toward the main family?" Hiashi on the viewing platform watched Neji, his heart filled with mixed emotions.

"So what if it is? I won’t give up so easily!" Hearing his words, Naruto remained resolute as he looked at Neji.

"Shadow Clone Technique!" Saying this, Naruto immediately created dozens of clones. In an instant, it looked quite spectacular.

Watching the Shadow Clone Technique, Takeru smiled. Although he had previously looked down on Chakra somewhat, he couldn’t deny that Chakra truly possessed many special abilities and unique Ninjutsu.

Like the Multiple Shadow Clone Technique Naruto was using now... it was an incredibly powerful training aid.

Moreover, this ability was very suitable for Takeru. Although Takeru had already developed his Shadow Corps, the Shadow Clone Technique could greatly increase his strength.

Takeru was already strong on his own. Now, if he became multiple versions of himself, even dozens, Takeru believed conquering the world would be very simple.

Because the weaknesses of shadow clones were dividing Chakra and dissipating upon taking damage.

Takeru’s strength didn’t rely on Chakra. As for taking damage, he believed most people couldn’t injure him...

And Takeru had already obtained the scrolls for both the Shadow Clone Technique and the Multiple Shadow Clone Technique from Orochimaru.

Additionally, there were many other good Ninjutsu. After all, although Orochimaru himself didn’t practice many Ninjutsu, perhaps to better understand and modify them, he had collected a vast number of Ninjutsu, which now benefited Takeru.

"Raaah...!" Accompanied by many Narutos shouting as they charged at Neji, the arena seemed somewhat chaotic.

Then, a chaotic battle ensued on the field. Unfortunately, Naruto didn’t have any coordinated attack techniques. More often, only one or two clones attacked Neji at a time. With his Byakugan, Neji didn’t face much pressure.

The result was an increased drain on Naruto himself, while he still couldn’t touch a single corner of Neji’s clothing.

"I said I’m not that stupid, right?" After dodging Naruto’s attack again, Neji looked at Naruto with a confident smile.

Then, he quickly moved past the many Naruto clones, heading straight for one Naruto...

With an exceedingly confident smile, Neji reached a Naruto standing at the very back and delivered a vertical palm strike to his heart.

Hit by Neji’s attack, Naruto showed an expression of pain.

"To avoid getting your Chakra Points sealed, you’re the one with the fewest attacks. The more you keep attacking, the clearer I can see. So the real body is you!" Looking at Naruto’s expression and the continuously dissipating clones, Neji spoke with absolute confidence.

"Naruto!" Hinata worriedly watched Naruto.

"It’s over now." Kotetsu said flatly.

Noticing the arrogant Neji, Takeru shook his head. Neji had fallen for the trick due to his pride.

"So I told you not to decide so arbitrarily!" Naruto, bleeding, looked at Neji and said. Then, the heavily attacked Naruto dissipated into a puff of smoke.

"What? Could it be?!" Noticing this, Neji reacted, turning his head to see two Narutos who had used the dissipating smoke and sound to get behind him, now leaping to attack.

"Alright, Naruto, go for it!" Noticing this scene, Kiba exclaimed excitedly. After being defeated by Naruto, Kiba fully acknowledged him.

’Did he see through my plan and deliberately use one clone to lure me?’ Seeing this, Neji was shocked. He hadn’t expected Naruto to possess such cunning.

"Take this!" Seeing Neji’s astonished look, Naruto felt victory was within grasp.

However, as Naruto’s fist struck Neji’s face heavily, it felt unable to advance further, stopping a few centimeters away.

After a brief stalemate, Naruto’s smile froze. Then, a Chakra Storm erupted from Neji’s body. The high-speed rotating, outwardly released Chakra directly flung Naruto away.

"Eh? This?!" Seeing the rapidly rotating Chakra released from his body, Ui was surprised.

"Quite a valuable reference!" Seeing Ui’s expression, Takeru said to her with a light smile.

"Mhm! If, while using Ren, I make the Aura rotate at high speed, it could not only enhance defense but also possess offensive capability!" Ui quickly replied.

"Exactly!" Hearing her words, Takeru nodded with a slight smile. Compared to Chakra, Takeru and the others had long mastered Aura Emission. Next, they just needed to make it rotate to accomplish this easily.

And it was only now, seeing Neji use Revolving Heaven, that Takeru remembered this ability could be applied to Aura.

"Ren? Aura?" Hearing Takeru and Ui’s conversation, Temari glanced at Takeru, puzzled.

"Wh-what was that just now?" The flung-away Naruto looked at Neji in disbelief.

"You thought you had won?" With a mocking smile, Neji said flatly.

"Naruto’s punch should have hit him! How...?" Sakura on the viewing platform, seeing this, found it utterly unbelievable.

Both Hinata and Hiashi on the viewing platform were somewhat shocked. They clearly understood the difficulty of the Revolving Heaven. Most importantly, Hiashi knew he hadn’t taught Neji this.

On the field, Naruto, knocked away by the Revolving Heaven, felt extremely unwilling. He immediately used Shadow Clones again to charge forward. But the result was the same as before... all were knocked away and dissipated in the air by Neji’s Revolving Heaven.

"It’s over. You are already within my Eight Trigrams Formation." Looking at Naruto, who had sat up and was wiping away blood, Neji said calmly.

"Gentle Fist: Eight Trigrams - Sixty-Four Palms!" Watching the standing Naruto, Neji spoke softly, assuming a stance.

"Eight Trigrams, Two Palms!" Soon, Neji moved, bursting forth with extreme speed to appear in front of Naruto. With his hands in a point-striking form, he struck at the chakra points on Naruto’s body.

"Four Palms! Eight Palms! Sixteen Palms! Thirty-Two Palms! Sixty-Four Palms!" Starting from two palms, Neji’s attacks poured into Naruto’s body like a violent storm.

From the moment he was hit by the first two palms, Naruto was in a state of absolute helplessness. By the time Neji finished all sixty-four palms, Naruto was sent flying once more.

"So fast!" Ui above watched Neji intently. As the attacks continued, she noticed Neji’s strikes grew faster and faster. Even she would have trouble dodging the last dozen or so.

’Has the branch family member’s strength surpassed the main family’s? What a fearsome talent. To think a child from the branch family, who absolutely should not have inherited the Hyuga Clan’s Kekkei Genkai, inherited it so brilliantly.’

’Hizashi... Indeed, you should have been the head of the Hyuga Clan...’ Taking in all of Neji’s attacks, Hiashi felt endless emotion in his heart.

"It’s over." At this moment, Genma walked over, glancing briefly at the motionless Naruto.

As a Special Jonin, Genma had some understanding of the Hyuga Clan’s special abilities.

Naruto, hit by the Sixty-Four Palms, absolutely could not use chakra now. A Ninja without Chakra wouldn’t differ much from an ordinary person.

Moreover, trying to defeat a genius like Neji after losing Chakra was simply unrealistic.

"I’ve struck all sixty-four points on your body. You shouldn’t be able to stand up." Looking at Naruto, Neji said calmly.

"Damn it!"

"Hmph, unwilling? Kneeling before an unchangeable power, realizing your own helplessness. The idea that dreams can be achieved just through hard work is merely an illusion!" Looking at Naruto, Neji mocked with a faint smile.

"Cough, cough!" Hearing Neji’s words, Hinata on the viewing platform seemed stimulated, triggering her injuries.

"Ui, Ritsu, I’ll be right back." Noticing the situation on the viewing platform, Takeru thought for a moment and spoke to Ui and Ritsu.

"Eh? Takeru, where are you going?" Hearing Takeru, Ritsu asked in surprise.

"Something came up." Hearing her, Takeru simply nodded lightly.

Then, Takeru left the spot and headed towards the viewing platform. Since his location allowed direct access there, he walked over through the passageway.
