Naruto lands a hit on Neji only to watch the Hyūga prodigy spin it away with a flawless rotation defense. As Neji seals off his chakra, the branch-house genius stuns even the clan's own leader with his mastery.
Main Characters (2)
Summary
Naruto finally connects with a punch, but Neji answers by whipping up his Eight Trigrams Palms Revolving Heaven and shrugging the blow aside. Between the all-seeing reach of his Byakugan and his knack for releasing chakra anywhere across his body, Neji leaves almost no angle open. Watching from the stands, clan head Hiashi Hyūga is taken aback that a boy from the branch family, so young, can wield such a technique.
Key Events
Hiashi's astonishment deepens when Neji unleashes the Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four Palms, shutting down Naruto's chakra flow. Battered and cut off from his power, Naruto still refuses to yield, unwilling to bow to a rival who preaches that some are simply doomed to failure.
