Reborn into Naruto World with Tenseigan

Chapter 978: Hinata vs Tenten: Result



At the Arena

“I’m sorry, Hinata, but I can’t afford to lose here!” Tenten declared. She tossed two scrolls into the air, activating their seals. With a series of poofs and the unfolding of the scrolls, numerous weapons emerged.

“Take this!” Tenten leaped high into the sky, hurling a barrage of weapons at Hinata, who had activated her Byakugan.

Sha! Sha! Sha! Sha! Sha! Sha! Sha! Sha! Sha!

Hundreds of weapons, including shuriken and kunai, rained down on Hinata.

In the face of the onslaught, she took a deep breath, her expression determined. Adjusting her stance, she swiftly moved her hands to intercept the incoming shuriken and kunai with precise motions.

“Protective Eight Trigrams: One-Hundred Twenty-Eight Palms!”

With each thrust of Hinata’s hand, a continuous stream of chakra extended from her arm, forming an incredibly thin, long, sharp blade. This blade effortlessly sliced through anything it encountered, whether it be shuriken, kunai, or the very ground itself.

In a matter of moments, all the weapons thrown at her by Tenten were reduced to fragments by Hinata’s Jutsu, cascading to the ground.

“This?” Tenten was taken aback as she landed, “What kind of Jutsu was that?”

Hinata wasn’t the only one with this question. The trainees, the audience, the instructors, and especially the Hyugas, all shared the same surprise, their eyes fixed on Hinata. Everyone was curious about the ninjutsu she had just unleashed.

As Hinata showcased her ninjutsu, effortlessly dispelling all of Tenten’s throwing weapons, Naruto couldn’t hide his surprise. “Amazing… What kind of Ninjutsu did Hinata use?”

Shion, folding her hands over her chest, grinned smugly. “Surprised, aren’t you, Naruto-kun? It’s not just you who underwent special training. Hinata also trained with Yui-nee, utilizing her superior flexibility and chakra control to create an entirely new Ninjutsu with both formidable attack and defense.”

“Absolute?” Neji questioned with a skeptical gaze. The Revolving Heaven technique was renowned for its absolute defense, making it hard to believe that Hinata had developed a technique surpassing it.

“Well, I don’t know the details, but Yui-nee mentioned that Hinata’s ninjutsu might be superior to the ‘Revolving Heaven’ of the Hyuga Clan because it combines both attack and defense, not just defense,” Shion explained.

“Is that so?” Neji muttered with a thoughtful expression, redirecting his gaze back to the arena. He was intrigued to witness the true extent of the ninjutsu that Hinata had crafted.

Back at the Arena

“I see… so you release chakra blades from your palms, huh?” Tenten muttered as she leaped back, thrusting the pole in her hand at Hinata.

Since her initial attack failed, Tenten and Hinata had been locked in close-quarters combat. Tenten was well aware that this situation was highly disadvantageous for her. She understood that if Hinata’s attacks made contact, it could spell the end for her. Hinata had the ability to swiftly seal off her Tenketsu with Gentle Fist attacks, rendering it impossible for Tenten to draw chakra from her reserves. That’s why Tenten had opted to use a long pole for a mid-range fight.

Hinata nodded, stating, “With the help of Yui-Sensei, I was able to create this ninjutsu.” She shifted the pole to the side and employed the Body Flicker Jutsu to close in on Tenten, landing a swift palm strike at Tenten’s chest, “Palm Bottom!”

The moment Tenten witnessed Hinata disappear, she swiftly employed the ‘Substitution Jutsu,’ swapping places with a log of wood that was promptly destroyed.

“Let’s try this once again…” Tenten declared, shaking the cuff of her sleeves. Eight shuriken materialized between her fingers, and she promptly hurled them at Hinata.

As the eight shuriken sped toward Hinata, Tenten deftly weaved hand signs and exclaimed, “Release!”

Poof! Poof! Poof! Poof! Poof! Poof! Poof! Poof!

The eight shuriken were enveloped in white smoke, and as they emerged from the haze, their size had increased tenfold. They were no ordinary shuriken; they had transformed into large Fuma-Shuriken!

Witnessing the colossal shuriken hurtling towards her, Hinata’s eyes widened, and she hastily prepared to evade each one. Tenten, however, anticipated Hinata’s move and smirked, “There’s more where that came from!” She swiftly weaved hand signs and clapped, executing the ‘Shuriken Shadow Clone Technique.’

In an instant, the eight Fuma-Shuriken doubled, becoming sixteen. The next moment, they doubled once again, reaching thirty-two, and continued multiplying to a count that couldn’t be comprehended without the aid of a Dojutsu like Sharingan.

“Let me see, haah, what you are going to do this time, haah, Hinata!” Tenten exclaimed. She harbored hopes of securing a victory with this technique, aware that the ‘Shuriken Shadow Clone Technique’ imposed a substantial strain on chakra reserves.

On the Instructor’s side

“I did not expect Shizune-chan to teach such a ninjutsu to this girl,” Yui remarked, clasping her hands together.

“Will Hinata-chan be alright?” Izumi asked, wearing a worried expression.

Yui nodded with a reassuring smile. “Don’t worry, Izumi-chan. This won’t be enough to defeat my Hinata-chan. Despite her quiet and shy demeanor, that girl is incredibly strong. She still has a variety of ninjutsu up her sleeve. A decade’s worth of effort and hard work backs her, and I don’t believe that my Hinata-chan will be defeated so easily!”

Just as Yui had anticipated, another surprising turn of events unfolded in the arena. Hinata shifted her stance, drawing her right hand backward. With a deep breath, she gathered as much chakra as possible and then thrust her right hand forward, executing ‘Protective Eight Trigrams: Grid Palm.’

In an instant, a substantial amount of chakra materialized from Hinata’s palm in the form of a grid. The grid consisted of hundreds of horizontal and vertical line segments, each functioning as a short blade capable of easily cleaving through even the most brittle objects.

Despite the strength of the Fuma-Shuriken barrage, in the face of ‘Grid Palm,’ they were all reduced to small metal fragments. The grid surged forward at an astonishing speed, leaving the shredded remnants of the shuriken to fall to the ground.

“Damn…!” Tenten clicked her tongue and hastily threw explosive tags to damage the chakra grid. However, the explosive tags were swiftly cut into paper fragments upon touching the chakra grid, failing to explode.

“Haha… there’s… there’s no dodging this one, is there…?” Tenten muttered, sweat covering her forehead.

“That’s right, Tenten-san. If you don’t withdraw, even your body will suffer the same consequence as the shuriken and explosive tags. Please… withdraw,” Hinata urged, directing the chakra grid toward Tenten.

Tenten, realizing the severity of the situation and understanding that Hinata wasn’t bluffing, knew she was backed into a corner. Despite recognizing the likely chakra drain on Hinata, Tenten decided to concede the match, stating, “I concede!”
