Naruto: I, who didn't want to be hacked to pieces, saved the ninja world.

Chapter 332 Sweeping the Top 4

boom!

On the field, it seemed as if two blue spinning tops had appeared.

Two surging streams of chakra collided in the center of the arena, unleashing bursts of sonic booms.

The terrifying impact sent both of them flying, but Hinata only took a few steps back before coming to a stop.

Neji was blasted away and fell to the ground, looking extremely disheveled.

He tried to clench his fists, but his arms trembled uncontrollably; the injury from the previous match had not yet healed.

His face was full of resentment.

For so many years, he has been working hard every day.

Why is he still no match for Hinata?

He used to be just a timid coward.

Why can't he beat his opponent no matter what he does now?

Neji struggled to his feet, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth.

But his expression returned to its resolute form.

Hinata suddenly felt like the villain in Aoba-kun's story.

"Neji-nii-nii..."

"I haven't lost yet!"

Neji's expression suddenly turned somewhat ferocious.

Then he charged towards Hinata.

After a brief exchange, Hinata knocked Neji unconscious with a single blow.

"The winner is Hinata Hyuga!"

Seeing Neji unconscious, Genma Shiranui decisively declared Hinata the winner.

Might Guy reappeared, carrying Neji on his back, and gave Hinata a thumbs up.

"That was a really great match!"

Then he instantly left the arena.

Hinata returned to the audience seats, somewhat bewildered.

When she returned, Genma Shiranui called out Yakumo's name.

The two gave each other a high five in mid-air.

Yakumo jumped onto the field.

Her opponent is Akatsuchi.

Akatsuchi had already learned about Yakumo's abilities from Kurotsuchi.

Even though I understand it, it's completely useless.

After probing with a few attacks from a distance, Chitu stood still and said "Aba aba".

Yakumo knew that Akatsuchi was Kurotsuchi's senior brother, so he didn't make things difficult for him.

They immediately surrendered and controlled the Red Earth.

After Yakumo's battle ended, it was Karin's turn to compete.

Karin's rival is Omoi.

This Cloud Village ninja, who had been living in constant fear and seeking defeat ever since leaving prison, was finally satisfied.

Not long after the battle began, Omoi was bound by Karin's Adamantine Lock.

After several rounds of competition, only four people remained.

Hinata, Yakumo, Karin, and Sakura.

"I never expected it would end up being the four of us."

Yakumo's face was filled with excitement and pride.

She certainly has the right to be proud.

They were able to rank among the top four in the Chunin Exams, which were held jointly by the five major ninja villages.

That's enough to prove their talent and ability.

Now, if she can win first place, her ideal of revitalizing the Kurama clan will take a big step forward.

At that time, the entire ninja world will know her name, Kurama Yakumo, and the Kurama clan.

Sakura and Hinata both wore slightly excited expressions.

Karin then moved closer to Shirakumo Aoba and asked with a look of anticipation.

"Brother Qingye, who do you think will win first place?"

Upon hearing this, the other three women also looked at him.

Although they didn't speak, their expectant eyes said a lot.

"This……"

Bai Yun Qingye thought about it carefully for a while before speaking.

"I'm not entirely sure either, but all four of you have a chance to get first place."

Several people present rolled their eyes simultaneously.

"Qingye is just pretending to be confused."

Yakumo grumbled in dissatisfaction.

"Yes, yes."

The crowd chimed in agreement.

"Haha~"

Baiyun Qingye used a smile to cover up her embarrassment.

"Hinata Hyuga, battle—"

As the break ended, Genma Shiranui announced the names drawn from the box.

"Karin!"

The two have been good friends for many years, so they didn't say anything harsh to each other and went straight to the competition.

"start!"

Upon seeing that the two had completed their opposing hand seals, Genma Shiranui immediately announced the start of the match.

Then he darted to the side.

Having hosted so many matches, he's become somewhat numb.

After Genma Shiranui announced the start.

Hinata immediately rushed towards Karin.

Karin, on the other hand, chose to retreat.

With a clap of his hands, three chains extended from behind him and struck Hinata.

Having known each other for so many years, the two were well aware of each other's abilities.

Hinata's main attack method is Gentle Fist, which means she is good at close combat.

Karin primarily uses the Adamantine Sealing Chains technique in combat, requiring a certain distance to be maintained. She also has an inexhaustible supply of chakra, making her suitable for protracted battles.

Hinata watched the chains hurtling towards her, her Byakugan already activated, searching for a weakness in Karin's attack.

"Eight Trigrams Empty Palm!"

Several vacuum shells hit the chains, causing Karin's attack to deviate from its target.

Hinata had already rushed in front of Karin, her Gentle Fist aimed straight at Karin's flat chest.

At that moment, another chain emerged from behind Karin, blocking Hinata's Gentle Fist.

The other three chains also returned to defend at this time.

Hinata was suddenly caught in a pincer movement.

"Return to Heaven!"

A massive amount of chakra surged forth from Hinata's body, transforming into an astonishingly large swirling current of air, creating a blue chakra storm.

They deflected all the encircling chains.

After completing this action, Hinata attacked Karin again.

The two fought.

The battle seemed to be at a stalemate, but the situation was actually quite clear.

Hinata takes the lead in attacking, relying on her Byakugan's ability to see through everything and predict the trajectory of attacks.

Karin's attacks couldn't land on her at all.

Each time a chain suddenly appears, it is able to easily dodge at the critical moment.

Karin, on the other hand, always seemed somewhat overwhelmed when defending against Gentle Fist, clearly demonstrating her superior skill.

It is said that two fists can't beat four hands, but Hinata managed to suppress Karin's four chains with just her two hands.

Even Shirakumo Aoba, who was watching the game from the sidelines, couldn't help but frown.

Karin still relies too much on the Diamond Lock.

Aside from the Vajra Lock, they basically have no other means of attack.

Although the Kongo Locket is strong enough, it is clearly not enough for Karin to deal with all enemies with this move.

Hinata right now is a good example.

This was a waste of the Uzumaki clan's rare and enormous chakra.

Sure enough, not long after.

Hinata used several Bagua Palms to knock the chains away again, and then struck Karin in the abdomen with a palm.

Immediately afterwards, he unleashed a set of Bagua Sixty-Four Palms.

Karin collapsed to the ground, her previously inexhaustible chakra now completely unusable.

After Genma Shiranui announced the results of the match.

Hinata stepped forward and helped Karin up.

"I'm still no match for Hinata."

Karin wasn't too disappointed with her loss, as it was an outcome she had expected.

She had never beaten her opponent since she was a child.

"Karin is also very skilled; your Adamantine Lock technique is becoming more and more proficient."

After Hinata released the pressure points on the other person's body, she also offered a word of comfort.

The two looked at each other and smiled.
