Konoha's Master of Illusion

Chapter 41 Absolute Defense
Next, is the battle between Neji and Tetsuya.

This battle attracted the attention of everyone present. Hyuga Neji was not an unknown person. When he was in the ninja school, he was a popular figure in the class like Sasuke. He was also extremely active in the year after graduation. He had gained quite a reputation.He is very strong and does not belong to the genin level. This is everyone's common understanding.

Tetsuya's words have always been ordinary, and it was only recently that the third generation's attitude gradually became known to everyone.

If you want to ask who everyone is more optimistic about, it is of course Neji.

This is an inertia of thinking, just like thinking that Naruto was the last to lose in the last battle. Neji's long-term performance can be said to have lived up to expectations.On the other hand, Tetsuya, who suddenly appeared, had excellent grades in the ninja school, but was not well-known. It was not long after graduation that he gradually became known because of the Hokage-sama's favor.

However, several mentoring jounin who knew some inside information had a clearer understanding of Tetsuya's strength.

Xiao Li watched the teammate he dreamed of surpassing go down, and he was very focused. He had to take a closer look and make more preparations for the subsequent battle.

"Teacher Kai, Neji will definitely win, right?"

Tiantian, who wears her hair combed, is full of confidence and has full confidence in their captain.

"That's hard to say. Let me tell you a secret."

Akai smiled evilly and stimulated his disciple:
"Tetsuya Yamanaka is not a showman without ability. He was valued by the Third Generation Master because of his outstanding performance after graduation. This guy's ninja record contains two A-level missions. Do you know what A-level missions mean?"

"A-level mission?" After hearing Mr. Asuma's words, Shikamaru, who had always been calm, also showed a surprised look: "How could it be possible? Even if he has the strength, how could an A-level mission be handed over to a newly graduated genin?"

Asma also had the same purpose of beating the mentality of her disciples as Kai did. Hearing this, she smiled slightly, with an unfathomable look:
"Rules are dead, people are alive. This kind of thing is also something that the third generation of adults considers. I'm not very clear about it anymore."

In fact, he also knew the origin of Tetsuya's two A-level mission records, but there was no need to go into too much detail.

"But I know what Tetsuya Yamanaka did during the second A-level mission."

Now Choji, who was stuffing his snacks, became interested and started asking:
"what?"

"He killed more than a dozen rain ninja genin and chunin, seriously injured a special jounin, and rescued an orphan of his companion who was lurking in the rain ninja village."

"And all alone, at the cost of serious injury."

Shikamaru's heart was filled with ups and downs, and he turned to look at Tetsuya standing in the field, his eyes a bit like looking at a ferocious beast.

Not to mention those genin and chunin, what are special jonins?
Moonlight Hayate, who is standing below as the examiner of the preliminary round, is a special jounin. Ninjas who get this title are generally far stronger than chunin, but they are much weaker than ordinary jounin. They rely on a particularly outstanding ability. Or if you make some kind of contribution to the village, you can stand out among the many chuunin and get the so-called special jounin title.

For example, Gekko Hayate earned the special jounin position with his superb swordsmanship and strength, while others, such as Morino Ihiki, gained awards for their talents in torture.There are many others, such as Mitarashi Anzuki, Shiranui Genma, etc.

Chuunin is just a target for them now, but they didn't expect that Tetsuya has the strength to defeat the special jounin.

Although that is the special Jonin of Rain Ninja Village, don't forget that there are more than ten genin and chuunin, plus one person.
Shikamaru felt a toothache. If he encountered such an opponent later, how would he fight?
Ino was also in a daze.

She knew that Tetsuya had been injured and hospitalized three times, but she really didn't know the corresponding details and results of the battle. After all, she didn't ask carefully, and Tetsuya also didn't take the initiative to talk about it.Now that she heard these contents from the teacher's mouth, Ino herself felt a strong sense of urgency.

Suddenly realizing the gap, she immediately felt that Zheya was a little far away from her.

Sakura and Naruto didn't understand this. Their teacher Kakashi took Sasuke to deal with the curse seal after the first battle, and he hasn't come back yet.

After Ning Ci stood firm in front of Tetsuya, he took the lead in mocking:
"Miss Hinata seems to be your teammate? The Rou Fist just made me want to sleep. It was so weak and weak. It was simply an insult to Rou Fist!"

It was very clear that the guy in front of him was full of complaints when it came to things related to the Zong family. Even if he was just Hinata's teammate, he still wanted to vent his grievances on himself.

So Zheye smiled calmly:

"You continue, I'm not in a hurry, we can wait until you have vented your grievances and then we start again."

The smile on Neji's face paused, and his anger began to rise:
"Do you think I'm talking nonsense? Then let me show you what the real Rou Fist is!"

After saying that, he stopped verbally attacking and started using exactly the same stance as Hinata.

"Are you all ready?"

The two of them nodded in unison, and after hearing a "start", Tetsuya watched the opponent approaching at a regular but fast pace, and directly chose to retreat rather than engage in a head-on confrontation.

His physical skills are improving rapidly, but why should he be tough with the opponent's strongest strength?
Raising his hand, there were two kunai, and four shurikens flew out. Tetsuya directly began to perform the amazing and precise ninja throwing technique. The six hidden weapons were very fast, one after the other, and their initial flight paths all overlapped. , lightly brushing against each other in mid-air, each changed their route and came to their opponent from six directions at the same time.

Neji was also shocked by this move. The change in the path of the ninja tool in the blink of an eye caught him off guard. If he only relied on hand speed to catch it, one or two would be missed and injured.

At that moment, he immediately burst out with a burst of chakra from the acupuncture points all over his body, spinning rapidly.

"I have only seen people from the Uchiha clan use this ninja throwing tool."

Kakashi settled Sasuke, and after using the evil-sealing seal, he encountered Orochimaru for a confrontation. When he came back, he just saw the kunai thrown by Tetsuya change its direction, and Neji could only defend himself with Kaiten.

"Why?" Sakura asked in wonder as she stared at the traces left by Neji on the ground when he turned around.

"Because the Sharingan's insight is so powerful, it gives the Uchiha clan the basis for realizing this ninja tool control technique. However, not everyone in Uchiha can learn this gorgeous technique and be able to open the Sharingan. He is already considered a genius, and there are very few people who can further develop on this basis.”

"Then why is he?"

"This is genius. Some people are born to do things that others cannot do." Kakashi looked at the two people on the field and explained to his disciples: "Including Hyuga Neji, most of the adult ninjas of the Hyuga clan It’s really shocking to be able to master the absolute defense technique that even I can’t master.”

Although he said he was shocked, Kakashi was actually not disturbed in his heart.

Once upon a time, he was a proud man who was promoted to Jonin at the age of 12. What he was seeing before him was not that interesting to him during the war years.

But his words obviously stimulated Naruto.

"I have decided! I must win the third exam! On the way to becoming Hokage, I must first become a chuunin! Defeat the following two people!"

His passionate speech was only ignored by Sakura, while Kakashi nodded secretly in his heart, determination is a good thing.

On the other side of the battlefield, Ningji used the ninja tool to fly back to the sky, his eyes were arrogant and shining:
"This kind of little trick has no effect in the face of Kaiten's absolute defense. Yamanaka Tetsuya, you'd better show some real skills!"

The defensive circle formed by Kaiten using chakra to rotate at high speed is indeed difficult to break through with ninja tools, Tetsuya knows very well.

He began to make mudras with both hands:
"Shadow Clone Technique!"

Two clones appeared next to Tetsuya. Neji frowned as he watched. The difference between shadow clones and ordinary clone techniques is to equally share chakra and create another real self. It is specially designed for writers who can directly see through chakra. Abilities such as Rinnegan and Byakugan, including chakra perception, cannot distinguish the true identity.

Moreover, the shadow clone also has similar combat power as the main body. The only disadvantage is that it will dissipate once it is damaged.

Neji's mentality finally began to correct at this moment.

That hand almost caused his own ninja throwing, but the shadow clone used by the opponent at this time was a very difficult ninjutsu.

Although he had also seen Naruto's massive shadow clone tactics before, he knew very well that that level of shadow clones was no threat to him.But the person in front of him is different from Uzumaki Naruto who consumes a lot of chakra. Shadow clones are an important means of combat for masters. Even if there is just one more person out of thin air, the combat power that can be unleashed by cooperating with the main body will be far greater. More than a simple one plus one, it is at least equal to three or even four effects.

Neji, who was always ready to use Kaiten's defense again, took a deep breath and watched his opponent in the distance create a shadow clone and quickly form a seal.
