Naruto: Dark Naruto Overtakes!

Tenketsu Striking

This was the specialty of the Hyuga Clan, one of the two great noble houses of Konoha.

With the power of their Byakugan—a kekkei genkai—the Hyuga Clan could effortlessly discern the 365 chakra points within the human body.

By channeling chakra through their fingertips, they could unleash pinpoint attacks capable of sealing their opponent's chakra pathways.

A terrifying technique indeed.

After all, could a ninja who couldn't mold chakra still call themselves a ninja?

Though Naruto lacked the Hyuga Clan's kekkei genkai, his time in the hospital had been far from idle. With nothing better to do, he had memorized a detailed chart of human acupuncture points.

Using his extraordinary perception—several times sharper than the average person's—and the nature transformation of his wind chakra, which carried a piercing property, Naruto had found a way to replicate the effects of Acupoint Striking!

The moment Might Duy was struck by Naruto's technique, his expression shifted slightly.

He could feel his chakra flow becoming… obstructed.

Realizing the danger, Might Duy immediately decided to put some distance between them.

Retreating to the edge of the training ground, Duy took a moment to carefully assess his chakra. A grim expression soon spread across his face.

His chakra points had been sealed!

Despite this realization, Might Duy tilted his head back slightly and let out a hearty laugh. His carefree demeanor returned, as if nothing had happened.

"As expected of Naruto-kun! Truly impressive—you're making my youth boil over with excitement!"

Naruto's blue eyes glanced at Duy, a faint smile forming on his lips. "Might Duy-san, your chakra is sealed. If this keeps up, you'll lose."

Duy didn't respond immediately. Instead, he crouched slightly and reached down to remove the leg weights hidden beneath his steel guards.

Even with his back to the crowd, Duy could sense their murmurs.

"So that's it... weights?"

"Don't be ridiculous. What difference could shedding a bit of weight make in this fight?"

"Come on, he's called the Eternal Genin for a reason..."

Unfazed by their comments, Duy remained calm. Gossip had never been something that troubled him.

"Heh... This should make things a bit easier," Duy said with a grin.

With that, he loosened his grip, and the steel weights fell to the ground.

Boom!

The impact of the weights hitting the ground sent shockwaves through the area, causing the entire floor to tremble.

"Damn!" Naruto's eyes widened in shock, an expletive escaping his lips.

Even though he had mentally prepared himself, seeing the reality of the situation still left him stunned.

"Might Duy-san, no matter how you look at it... carrying weights like this, isn't it just insane?"

"Haha! Youth will never be crushed by mere gravity!" Duy laughed, straightening his posture. "Now, Naruto-kun, I'm coming at you!"

Naruto smiled faintly, his voice calm. "Come."

The moment his words fell, Duy vanished.

Naruto wasn't about to lag behind. A faint crackle of lightning chakra coated his body, and with a slight shift, he turned into a streak of golden light.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

A series of dull collision sounds echoed through the field.

To the spectators, it was as if the two combatants had disappeared, leaving only a whirlwind in their wake.

The intense gusts of wind forced Kushina to take a small step back.

The dust and debris stung her eyes, prompting her to rub them. "Mikoto, can you see what's happening? They're too fast!"

Mikoto's Sharingan spun, the three tomoe within her crimson eyes whirling with precision.

"Barely," Mikoto said softly, her gaze following the action. "Naruto-kun is smiling."

"Smiling?"

A flicker of confusion crossed Kushina's dark eyes.

"Ah," Mikoto said with a faint chuckle. "He's probably excited to face someone so skilled in taijutsu."

"I'll never understand boys..." Kushina muttered, rolling her eyes.

"Might Duy-san, didn't I say? If this continues, you're bound to lose."

Naruto's voice came from behind Duy, a single hand shaped like a blade pressed lightly against his neck.

"Hahaha! The youth of the new generation truly shines brightly," Duy said with a hearty laugh. Then, his tone shifted as he shouted, "But I'm not done yet! It's time to release my inner restraints!"

As his declaration rang out, a powerful aura erupted from Duy's body.

Naruto's blue eyes narrowed as he leaped backward, swiftly creating distance.

"His muscles... they're tearing?"

Naruto's heightened senses could hear the sounds of Duy's muscles ripping apart under the strain of his power.

Mikoto's pale face reflected disbelief.

"His chakra... How is this possible?"

Crossing his arms in front of his forehead, veins bulging, Duy roared:

"Eight Gates!

First Gate: Opening!

Second Gate: Healing!

Third Gate: Life!

Fourth Gate: Pain!

Fifth Gate: Limit!"

The intensity of his aura surged with each declaration, shaking the training ground to its core.
