Shadow of the Wood

Chapter [-] Chase

Seeing Neji Hinata rushing towards him, Shikamaru seemed to have a frightened look on his face, which made Neji Hyuga, who had been observing his expression with blank eyes, more convinced of his judgment, he kept walking, almost in the blink of an eye He rushed to Shikamaru.

Hyuga Ningji's first palm was not from the left hand stretched forward, but from the right hand tucked in at the waist, like a poisonous snake that had already been ready to go, it sprang out from the hiding hole and bit the prey, Hyuga Ningji The speed of this palm push was astonishing, and it was pushed towards Shikamaru's chest.

"Shh!"

Although Shikamaru seemed to be caught off guard, his reaction was not slow. With a flash of his body, he had already used the maneuvering technique of "Tobike Toshiya", lowered his center of gravity, lowered his upper body, chakra gushed out from his feet, and his chest was stretched out. Jumping like a nimble old ape, and like an arrow jumping out of a strong bow, he escaped from Hyuga Neji's attack extremely quickly, turned around, and came to Hyuga Neji's side, The "Kagehide" in his hand stuck out, revealing a narrow but sharp blade, cutting towards Ningji Hinata's thigh tendon.

Neiji Hinata was not surprised to see Shikamaru easily dodging his own attack. He turned his eyes slightly, and without turning around, he had already seen Shikamaru's movements clearly. He took out a kunai from the ninja bag with one hand , quickly turned around, and precisely held Shikamaru's "Kagehide" with Kunai, while the other hand pointed like a sword, pointing at Shikamaru's forearm holding "Kagehide".

Seeing this, Shikamaru's pupils shrank. He knew that Hinata Ningji's acupoints were very powerful. Even so, he didn't take back the right hand holding "Yingxiu", but twisted "Yingxiu", which was located on both sides of the blade. The part of the gauntlet that can also be used as the outer blade has already held Hyuga Neji's Kunai, and at the same time Shikamaru pushed his right hand, causing "Kagehide" to move forward, using the blade to cut Hinata Neji's finger holding Kunai .

Shikamaru's reaction seems to be a lose-lose situation. While Hinata Neji hit the Chakra point on his forearm, he could also use "Kagexiu" to cut off the opponent's fingers, but it is obvious which one suffers more. Knowing this, he suddenly let go of the right hand that was holding Kunai, and the left hand that pointed like a sword kept pointing at Shikamaru's forearm.

Shikamaru saw that Neiji Hinata had withdrawn the right hand that was holding Kunai, so he naturally also retracted "Kingxiu". Carat accurately sucked the kunai that fell because Hyuga Neji let go, and finally swung his legs to drive the sucked kunai to stab Hyuga Neji's calf.

"The reaction is too fast!"

On the stands, Kurenai Yuhi couldn't help but let out a low cry. Although Shikamaru's taijutsu was ineffective due to the restraint of Hinata Neji's white eyes, it also showed an amazing sense of fighting.

Kurenai Yuhi thought of what Sarutobi Asma said when she met Hatake Kakashi and Sarutobi Asma when she met Hatake Kakashi and Sarutobi Asma, and thought to herself: "No wonder Asma has such confidence in this subordinate. Physical skills, among the other eight newcomers of Konoha, none of them are his opponents."

Hatake Kakashi, who was as surprised as Kurenai Yuhi, was not because of Shikamaru's performance at this time, but what he noticed was Hinata Neiji's pointing stab like a sword before, wondering in his heart: "This is Hinata A family's acupuncture technique!? How is it possible!?"

Although the acupuncture point ability of the Hyuga clan is the best in Konoha and even in the ninja world, it is a profound skill that not everyone in the Hyuga clan can practice. But at the age of 14, he was already able to use the white eyes to this extent, indeed only the reputation of a genius can be described.

What's more, as far as Hatake Kakashi knows, Neiji Hinata himself is a branch family that is difficult to be taught the advanced soft boxing method, and because of the relationship between his father's death and personality, the relationship with the Hyuga clan is very tense. If it wasn't for Akai trying his best to protect it, he might have suffered a lot. I'm afraid he also figured out this acupuncture technique by himself.

"It's too powerful." Hatake Kakashi looked resentful, looked at Gaara on the opposite stand, sighed and thought, "There are so many powerful people in this Chunin exam!"

"Fortunately, one has already been eliminated, and the other one will also be eliminated." Kakashi Hatake thought of Rock Lee who was eliminated before, and looked at Ningji Hinata and Shikamaru Nara in the field. One person must be eliminated: "Otherwise, Naruto and Sasuke in our group would have no chance at all!"

Not to mention the individual reactions in the stands, in the examination room, Neiji Hyuga's eyes naturally saw through Shikamaru's movements easily, and he couldn't help but gritted his teeth a little annoyed, and finally withdrew his outstretched left hand and stopped pointing at Shikamaru. Maru's chakra point, took half a step back slightly, and also avoided Shikamaru's stabbing attack on his calf.

Seeing Neiji Hinata's attack finally stalled, Shikamaru couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, taking advantage of this opportunity, he retreated quickly, intending to widen the distance between the two.

After Ningji Hyuga escaped Shikamaru's attack, he saw that the opponent was trying to distance himself, so he naturally wouldn't stand idly by. His ability is mainly physical skills, and his strength can only be displayed in close combat, so he immediately fitted himself up and rushed forward to prevent Shikamaru from attacking him. The pill came true.

Shikamaru, who had come a little distance away, sneered, and no longer backed away, but half squatted on the ground, thrusting "Yingxiu" forcefully into the ground not far behind him, quickly forming seals with both hands, before Ningji Hyuga From the look of his white eyes, as Shikamaru formed seals, strands of chakra followed his body and projected onto the shadow below him, like a drop of ink dripping on a pool of clear water, shaking the shadow below him. Render quickly.

Shikamaru, who had used the shadow imitation technique, focused his eyes, and under his control, the shadow under his feet suddenly split into a black line as thick as a forearm, and rushed toward Neiji quickly, and at the same time, the black line suddenly parted halfway For three, one still rushed straight towards Neji Hyuga, while the other two expanded to both sides, stopping Neji Hyuga, as if to prevent him from changing his route, avoiding the black line of the shadow imitation technique, and coming to Shikamaru's side.

"Not good!" Ningji Hyuga was startled, quickly stopped the momentum of rushing forward, and then retreated immediately, avoiding the pursuit of Shikamaru's shadow imitation technique.

Seeing this, Shikamaru just gritted his teeth and continued to manipulate the black lines to chase Hinata Neiji's footsteps. At the same time, the two black lines that were intended to intercept also changed directions behind the "warning line" of his subordinates, chasing Hinata Neiji.

"Is this going to turn into a chase!?" Moonlight Gale, who had already retreated to a corner of the examination room, coughed and thought to herself after seeing what was going on in the room.
