Chapter 10: Hyuga Yukina
Chapter 10: Hyuga Yukina
Yukina lowered her body into a Gentle Fist stance. The veins around her eyes bulged and extended to her temples as her Byakugan activated.
"Bring it on! I want to see your true strength!"
Off the field, Uchiha Hirohiko was startled, his gaze fixed on Kiba. She activated her Byakugan; Yukina was going all out! Is this Taki Kiba worthy of her full effort?
Kiba, standing in the field, straightened his posture and adjusted his attitude. He could see that Yukina was very serious, and the Hyuga family's Gentle Fist was no joke.
"Ah, this will be over soon," the boys said, a little bored.
"Yeah, this isn't even a match," another added.
"Taki Kiba is going to get beaten up," a third chimed in.
The girls were equally disinterested.
"This is a waste of time, end it quickly!"
"Yeah, I want to see Hirohiko, the male god!"
"Taki Kiba, get off the stage!"
Shouts erupted from the sidelines.
The teacher shook his head helplessly, thinking, "I hope this Taki Kiba won't be beaten so badly by Yukina that he gives up taijutsu. He has the potential to become an outstanding Chunin. As for Jonin... well, that's another story."
"Here I come!" Yukina shouted, pushing out with a palm strike.
Kiba's eyes narrowed as he turned slightly to dodge Yukina's incredibly fast palm strike. However, the second strike was already incoming, leaving him no time to counterattack.
Can't let her hit me!
Kiba knew that the Gentle Fist combined with the Byakugan could target acupuncture points, restricting chakra flow and preventing chakra refinement. Taijutsu also required chakra; otherwise, techniques like Rock Lee's Konoha Hurricane wouldn't be as powerful with just muscle strength.
Frowning, Kiba focused on dodging Yukina's continuous strikes.
I should've removed the weighted props! This way, it's difficult to deal with Yukina!
Hyuga Yukina was surprised as well. She had struck numerous times but hadn't even grazed Kiba's clothes.
He's so fast!
That was Yukina's immediate impression. Kiba's reaction speed and movement were superior to hers, making him hard to hit.
Uchiha Hirohiko watched the two dodge and chase each other, his eyes flashing with surprise. Kiba was evading all of Yukina's Gentle Fist attacks!
"Is Yukina going easy on him?" a boy asked, incredulous.
"Impossible! She's missing all her attacks?" The girls were equally stunned.
"Is this really the fourth from last?" Ohno stepped back, surprised.
Isn't it supposed to be an instant defeat? What is Yukina thinking?
The teacher was puzzled as well.
Hinata Yukina kept pressing the attack, while Kiba struggled to dodge. The weighted props he wore limited his speed significantly. Without them, he could easily dodge her swift strikes. Although Kiba hadn't systematically learned the Konoha Strong Fist fighting style, he had read the original work. With his physical fitness and the ability to open three gates, he could use some Strong Fist techniques.
The Strong Fist style mainly relied on physical fitness. Some skills, like Shadow of the Dancing Leaf, Primary Lotus, and Hidden Lotus, required guidance. However, basic moves like the Konoha Whirlwind, a powerful roundhouse kick, were within his capability.
But now, his speed was limited, making it challenging to use these techniques against Yukina. Besides, this was his first time using the Konoha Strong Fist fighting style in actual combat, and he feared hurting Yukina if he couldn't control his strength properly.
Should I use that?
Kiba pondered while evading. He was getting used to Yukina's attacks, so being distracted didn't prevent him from dodging.
He's really good!
Yukina felt a surge of excitement and unyielding determination. She could see the chakra in Kiba's body slowly gathering towards his fist, strand by strand, in an orderly manner.
Amazing! The control over his chakra is remarkable!
Yukina marveled, then a thought crossed her mind.
He's going to fight back!
In that case... let's decide the outcome! I'll use my newfound trick!
Yukina's eyes focused as she suddenly stepped back a little.
As long as the distance is within one meter!
Yukina brought her hands together.
She stopped her continuous attacks and took a step back, surprising Kiba. He then saw her draw her palm back.
This stance... No way, how old is Yukina? She's already mastered this technique, a super genius! This surpasses Neji!
Kiba's eyes widened in surprise, and he smiled slightly.
Alright, let's see which is stronger, brute force or Eight Trigrams Palm!
"Eight Trigrams Vacuum Palm!" Yukina thrust her palm forward, her fingers curled like a tiger's claw, striking with a Gentle Fist through the air.
The distance between them was less than a meter. As Yukina struck, Kiba clearly felt the air twist towards her palm, and the distortion approached rapidly.
Eight Trigrams Vacuum Palm! Unbelievable!
The students outside the field were stunned, and even the teacher was shocked! Although not from the Hyuga clan, he knew that the Eight Trigrams Vacuum Palm was a difficult Gentle Fist technique to master. It allowed for long-range attacks within Gentle Fist. At seven years old... mastering the Eight Trigrams Vacuum Palm, Yukina's talent was terrifying! Too terrifying!
Unprecedented!
Now, Taki Kiba will definitely lose!
The teacher's eyes flickered, and a smile appeared on his lips as he judged Kiba's defeat.
Uchiha Hirohiko's face also changed dramatically, horrified. She struck a Gentle Fist from the air! Could I catch that punch?
There was no doubt Taki Kiba would lose. In the next game, I'll play and challenge Yukina!
Uchiha Hirohiko smiled, his heart filled with fighting spirit, but he also judged Kiba's defeat.
As the distortion approached, Kiba punched out with a smile on his lips.
Taki Kiba, are you crazy?
A head-on clash? Yukina's Vacuum Palm could break small trees. This would end badly!
Uchiha Hirohiko was shocked, as was the teacher.
"Bang!" A muffled sound echoed in the air.
Kiba's fist collided with the distortion, and chakra exploded violently!
The distortion shattered instantly!
Kiba's punch remained steady and headed straight for Yukina!
With one punch, the Vacuum Palm was shattered!
All the students were shocked!
Uchiha Hirohiko was shocked!
The teacher was shocked!
Kiba's fist stopped just in front of Yukina's pretty face, and a drop of sweat trickled down Kiba's forehead.
Very good, I controlled it. I didn't hurt Yukina!
Kiba quietly breathed a sigh of relief.
Yukina stared at the fist in front of her, the wind from the punch brushing her hair.
He exploded his chakra instantly, shattering my Vacuum Palm?
Gathering all the chakra together and bursting it out suddenly, how could it be so powerful?
The Vacuum Palm I practiced so hard... is this possible?
What is his background?
