Naruto: Yandere Harem with Gacha System

"The matches after this are so boring," After watching several regular genin battles in a row, Yakumo couldn't help but yawn, clearly drowsy from the matches.

Mainly it was because the earlier few matches had raised everyone's threshold, and the later fights were comparatively ordinary.

"Yeah, so meaningless, feels like if I went up, I could wipe the floor with them."

Karin also couldn't help chiming in, "I wonder how long we'll have to wait before it's our turn."

Hearing this, Shikamaru gave a dead-fish-eyed look.

"Mm… the next match seems to be mine."

Hinata, who had been silent, suddenly spoke up.

"Eh?"

Yakumo and Karin both cried out in surprise.

"H-Hinata, who's your opponent?", Tenten asked.

Temari, however, already knew, though she hadn't spoken yet.

"No matter who the opponent is, the winner will definitely be Hinata," As a teammate, Yakumo spoke confidently.

"That's true."

Tenten also nodded in agreement.

But at this moment, a gloomy voice drifted in.

"Her opponent is me."

The girls turned to look, and saw a very resentful-looking Kurotsuchi.

"Uh…"

The few of them felt a bit awkward, mainly because they hadn't noticed when Kurotsuchi had come over.

"Hmph! I will win!", Kurotsuchi gave a light snort, she had only come to say that.

The group couldn't help twitching their lips.

Soon, Shiranui Genma announced the participants for the next match.

"Aoba-kun, I'm going now."

Hinata gave Aoba a small smile.

"Do your best."

Aoba nodded, but after seeing the somewhat dopey and eager-to-try look on Kurotsuchi's face, he couldn't help adding, "Go easy on her."

Hinata gave him a deep look, then nodded to show she understood.

"Hmph!", Kurotsuchi glared hard at Aoba, then jumped down into the arena.

Hinata smiled lightly, then also dropped into the field, but her movements were clearly more graceful.

"They all say I'll lose to you. What do you think?"

Before they even formed the Seal of Confrontation, Kurotsuchi couldn't wait to ask her question.

Hinata thought for a moment and said, "I should win."

Seeing Hinata say that, the confidence on Kurotsuchi's face lessened a little.

Her expression became more serious.

After completing the Seal of Confrontation, as soon as Shiranui Genma's "Begin" left his mouth, Kurotsuchi formed seals and spat out a lump of milky-white sticky liquid, her usual signature opener.

"Lava Release: Quicklime Congealing Technique!"

Hinata had already seen this jutsu when her opponent fought Aoba and Yakumo, so she merely shifted her body slightly to dodge the lime.

Kurotsuchi wasn't surprised her jutsu was evaded.

Her hands formed seals again.

"Water Release: Water Trumpet Technique!"

She spat out a trumpet-shaped water stream, striking the lime that had landed on the ground earlier.

The water's impact rapidly expanded the attack range of the lime, spreading toward Hinata at high speed.

Hinata's expression didn't change, last time, it had been this move too.

She tapped her toes and leapt up, retreating several steps back, easily moving out of range.

Kurotsuchi just gave a light snort.

She increased the chakra output again.

The range of her Lava Release was still expanding.

She had planned this earlier, whether it was Aoba's taijutsu or Yakumo's genjutsu, neither could easily get close.

If it could be settled with long-range ninjutsu, then it was best to settle it with long-range ninjutsu.

She planned to directly cover the entire arena with her Lava Release.

That way, Hinata would have no place to dodge, let alone use the Hyuga clan's Gentle Fist.

Hinata saw Kurotsuchi's idea and could only say it was naive.

She didn't dodge anymore and took up a Gentle Fist stance.

As the large amount of milky-white thick liquid was about to engulf her, all of Hinata's tenketsu released a massive amount of chakra.

Immediately after, her body began spinning rapidly.

"This is…", Kurotsuchi's eyes widened.

It was Rotation.

If Neji could use it, she had no reason not to.

The surrounding mass of lime was instantly swept away, and Hinata stood safe and sound in place.

"This kind of move has no effect on me."

"Damn it!", Kurotsuchi gritted her teeth.

The next second, she stomped the ground lightly, and a series of sharp stone spikes like bamboo shoots shot out violently.

"Earth Release: Rock Pillar Spears!"

This was Kurotsuchi's specialty, already simplified to the point where she needed only a single seal.

Hinata hopped left and right among the many stone spikes, effortlessly avoiding Kurotsuchi's attacks.

At this moment, Kurotsuchi once again used her Lava Release.

"Lava Release: Lime Stone Sealing Technique!"

This time, she spat out a lump of black lime.

Hinata, still dodging the stone spike attacks, saw the incoming mass of concrete.

While still in the air, her body spun immediately.

"Rotation!"

All the attacks were once again deflected.

"This move works in midair too?", Kurotsuchi's eyes almost popped out.

Seeing that her long-range attacks had no effect at all, Kurotsuchi gritted her teeth inwardly.

But before she could think of another plan,

Hinata was already charging toward her.

Was she going for close-range Gentle Fist?

Kurotsuchi instantly realized, she still remembered Chojuro's earlier lesson.

Against the Hyuga clan in close combat, eight or nine times out of ten, she would lose.

Kurotsuchi quickly retreated, trying to open the distance.

But Hinata struck toward her with a palm from afar.

"Eight Trigrams Vacuum Palm!"

"?"

Seeing this move for the first time, Kurotsuchi was stunned.

She only felt an invisible strike hit her abdomen, and her body was flung back by a blast of air.

Before she could come to her senses, a breaking-wind sound suddenly came from behind her.

At some point, Hinata was already behind her, palms striking directly.

"Gentle Fist…", Hinata unleashed a full set of Gentle Fist strikes at Kurotsuchi while she was still airborne.

From the start, Kurotsuchi had already clearly felt her chakra becoming harder to control.

By the end, she couldn't use even the slightest bit of chakra.

'So this is the Hyuga clan's Gentle Fist…'

Kurotsuchi's head was still hazy.

She never expected that the usually seemingly weakest Hinata would actually be this strong.

Finally, Hinata struck her jaw with a palm.

The great force short-circuited Kurotsuchi's brain in an instant, her eyes rolling upward.

Hinata then reached out and caught the unconscious Kurotsuchi.

This was the cleanest match so far, the total fight time was under ten minutes.

Shiranui Genma announced the result.

Hinata, holding Kurotsuchi, stood in the field and looked toward the Iwagakure side with a puzzled expression.

The match was over, weren't they going to take Kurotsuchi away?

After another prompt from Genma, Hinata had no choice but to bring Kurotsuchi over to her own side.

Aoba looked at the still-eyes-rolled Kurotsuchi.

He couldn't help but feel a little awkward.

Could it be Hinata heard him say to go easy on her and then deliberately knocked Kurotsuchi out?

He thought again of when he'd last seen Hinata practicing Gentle Fist.

Though… it did kind of count as holding back.
