Chapter 106: The Preliminary Selection Is Over And The List Is Released.

"Neji big brother, you're going to lose."

Hinata said seriously.

"Stop talking! It's not over yet!"

Neji rushed up again, but in Hinata's eyes, all his movements were visible, not to mention, Neji's Chakra was sealed, and his movements became even slower.

"Cough…"

Neji was knocked down by Hinata again, spitting blood.

"Neji big brother, stop..." Hinata looked at him worriedly.

"why…"

Neji struggled to his feet.

"Why... obviously nothing can be changed."

This time, in the duel between Hinata and Neji, the two sides switched positions, and they were defeated again and again, and it was not Hinata who refused to give up, but Neji.

But unlike Hinata's belief that she wants to work hard to be recognized and change, Neji is unwilling, puzzled, and unwilling to accept it.

In his opinion, no matter how hard Hinata tried, she couldn't change her dragging ending, let alone beat him so miserably.

The current Hinata is almost like a different person, and suddenly became enlightened.

"It's not like that, Neji big brother, as long as we work hard, even if we change just a little bit, we are making progress.

"Cough...then prove it to me!"

Neji braced his injured body and rushed towards Hinata again.

"Neji big brother…"

Seeing that Neji was still so persistent, Hinata was about to shed tears, but she couldn't stop, otherwise it would be disrespectful to Neji's attitude of persistence to the end.

Although, she felt that Neji had gone astray.

Boom!

The final blow, this time, Neji finally couldn't stand up.

"Neji!" Guy and Lee came to the venue in an instant, both of them burst into tears.

"Guy-sensei…"

"Good job!" Guy gave a thumbs up.

Neji's performance moved everyone present.

Just like what the Third Hokage said before the pre-selection, "This is a battle for the dream and the prestige of the village, and you need to risk your life!"

Neji persisted for his own sake, and he did it.

Hayate came out and announced loudly: "Victor, Hyūga Hinata!"

Kiba: "She did it! I didn't expect Hinata to win in the end! Well done!"

Shino: "It's because of that eye. If it wasn't for that eye, Hinata would lose now."

Kiba: "Hey, hey, don't be a kj, anyway, Hinata defeated that stern-faced guy."

"She actually won like this? Is that upgraded eye so powerful?" Sakura asked in surprise.

"After each kind of pupil technique is upgraded, the abilities it possesses are very different. Just like Sharingan, one tomoe cannot defeat those who have two tomoe."

Sasuke said with a frown, thinking of Itachi's eyes, the Mangekyō that towers above all Uchiha clans.

"Sasuke is right. Its added combat power to Hinata is more about predicting and judging the opponent's attack direction, and accurately hitting Neji's acupuncture points, blocking the flow of his Chakra. They are on the same starting line. The lead in the pupil technique is the bonus of victory."

Kakashi's vision is exactly the same as Guy's, and he also saw through the key to Hinata's victory.

"I finally won... This time I have lived up to Naruto-kun's expectations of me!"

Hinata breathed a sigh of relief.

She never thought that one day she would be able to defeat Neji who has been weighing her all the time, the most powerful genius in the history of the Hyuga clan!

She looked at Naruto in the audience and wanted to say that she finally won!

As a result, Kurenai suddenly appeared and grabbed her to check her injury.

Although Hinata was not beaten badly this time, she suffered from all of Neji's attacks at the beginning, so she had to see a doctor.

Just like that, before Hinata could speak, Kurenai worriedly pulled her and pushed her to the doctor who came over, and Neji, who was lying on a stretcher, went to receive treatment together.

"Next fight, Rock Lee VS Gaara!"

As soon as Hayate finished speaking, Konoha's face became ugly.

Especially Team Eight who had seen Gaara's shot with their own eyes.

Kiba: "Can Lee stand it? That guy is a murderer without blinking an eye."

Shino: "It's hard to say."

Tenten: "Lee, you have to be careful!"

Shikamaru: "This is troublesome, it's him."

Chōji: "Safe..."

"Hmph, is it finally my turn? Come down!"

Swoosh!

Gaara came to the Arena and said coldly.

"Lee, pay attention to the gourd behind him." Guy instructed.

"I understand, Guy-sensei!"

Swish!

"It's really exciting to be able to fight against you so quickly!"

"Hmph, although I don't know how skillful that pothead is, he can't beat Gaara."

Kankuro sneered.

"Don't say it too early, Konoha's ninjas are not easy."

After what happened with Naruto, and the fighting performance of Konoha Shinobi just now, Temari did not underestimate Lee who is not good-looking.

Sure enough, Lee's speed was very fast, and he was close to Gaara in an instant.

"Leaf Hurricane!!"

Facing the oncoming attack, Gaara was unmoved.

But in the next second, the lid of the gourd behind him suddenly opened, and a ball of sand suddenly appeared, rushing towards Lee, interrupting his attack.

"sand?!"

"Is this what he is capable of?"

"This strange ninjutsu…he is indeed a Sand Shinobi." Even Kakashi was amazed.

"Damn it!"

Lee attacked again and again, but was always blocked by the abnormally agile sand around Gaara.

And Gaara from the beginning to the present, he hasn't even moved his hands.

Because he couldn't hit Gaara's body, it meant that Lee's speed was useless.

"Lee, take it down!" Guy suddenly shouted.

"But, Guy-sensei, didn't you say that I can only do it when I'm protecting someone important to me?!"

"It's okay, I agree!"

Hearing it, Lee released the weight, and his speed soared again, and he came behind Gaara in an instant. This time, Lee's attack worked, and the reaction speed of the sand couldn't keep up with his speed.

Gaara was hurt.

This made Kankuro, Temari and the others turn pale with fright, and the sleepiness they had experienced before also subsided accordingly.

In the subsequent battle, Lee used the move Front Lotus which hurt both sides, which gave Gaara an advantage again.

But Lee, who refused to give up, finally used the trick 'Eight Inner Gates', opened the Fifth Gate, knocked Gaara to the ground, but at the same time, Lee was also exhausted at this time, and Gaara manipulate his sans to twisted Lee's left hand and left foot, and planned to kill Lee.

Fortunately, in the end, Guy appeared in time to stop him and saved Lee.

This tragic battle ended with Gaara winning.

In the last set of duels, Chōji ended the dramatic match by getting himself stuck in the wall.

So far, the preliminaries are over, and the rest is to wait for the third round of exams in a month.
