NOVEL NEXT Chapter 290: 290
If Karin is hit by gentle fist, her tenketsu will be blocked thereby stopping her ability to mold chakra, thus losing the ability to fight.
That means defeat.
Therefore, from the very beginning, Karin did not intend to fight Hinata in close quarters, but instead punched the ground to fight from afar.
'Boom.'
Under her full-strength blow, the wooden floor of the stage was torn apart, and cobweb-like cracks appeared, as if an earthquake had occurred.
The next second, under the impact of Karin's fist, the broken pieces of wood flew into the air and attacked Hinata up close.
'Danger.'
Hinata's Byakugan shrank, facing the sharp wooden pieces flying towards her, she tried her best to dodge. If she really can't dodge it, she quickly punched the high-speed wooden pieces with the chakra covered gentle fist, causing its attack trajectory to deviate.
'Chi Chi Chi.'
Even so, there were still three pieces flying over Hinata's body, leaving bloodstains on her shoulders, arms and face.
"Hinata, admit defeat!"
Karin shouted, and did not give Hinata a chance to breathe at all. After catching up, she punched the ground again.
Hinata didn't say a word, and jumped back vigorously, pulling a distance from Karin.
However, although this way she can more effectively avoid Karin's attack, it also means that she cannot approach Karin, then general gentle fist is useless.
If so, how can Hinata win?
The answer is Gentle fist eight triagram.
"Haaa!"
Hinata once again avoided the flying wooden pieces, and when Karin's continuous punches consumed a lot of physical strength and revealed a flaw, she gave a clear shout and slapped at the latter in the air.
The next second, a shadowless and invisible Chakra shockwave shot out from her palm, arrived in front of Karin in an instant, and hit the latter's body.
Karin could not avoid it and flew out five or six meters away.
'What happened? !'
The spectators on the sidelines were all surprised.
Whether it was Karin's continuous punches or Hinata's empty palm, Temari, Yamato, Suigetsu and others were shocked and realized that their previous assessment of the strength of the two girls was wrong.
'It hurts.'
Karin clutched her chest and stood up with difficulty. She looked down, and there were clearly visible large bruises on her chest, as if she had been hit hard by a hammer.
Fortunately, even among the Uzumaki Clan, Karin's self-healing ability is second to none. Therefore, as she made a seal, chakra poured out of her body, and the bruise on her chest quickly faded at a speed visible to the naked eye.
'Even void palm can't defeat Karin?'
When Hinata saw this, she knew that compared with Karin, her chakra volume was at a disadvantage, and if she continued to consume it, she would definitely collapse first.
So she decided to use the killer move and give a quick end to this fight.
Thinking of this, Hinata took a deep breath, her momentum changed, and she rushed towards Karin.
'Swi.'
Karin's eyes narrowed, without giving in, she raised her fist again, and a powerful airflow burst out from her body, blowing her clothes loudly.
This time, she punched with full power.
"She actually learned my punching style."
Tsunade couldn't help but look surprised when she saw this scene, but she was not worried that Hinata would lose, the corners of her mouth were raised, and she murmured, "It's time to use that trick."
Exactly as Tsunade expected.
Seeing that the distance between them was rapidly shortening, Karin was about to raise her fist to smash the ground, to cause more damage, Hinata's Byakugan suddenly released violent fluctuations of power.
'Buzz.'
In an instant, an invisible force was released from Hinata's Byakugan, like a circle of transparent ripples spreading around, instantly covering Karin.
Karin's body immediately froze in place, and was unable to move.
Byakugan coercion.
"Karin, I'm sorry. In order to ensure that I can defeat you in one go, I'll be a little heavier next time."
Hinata showed an apologetic look to her good friend, and then she made up her mind, put on an elegant and deadly starting gesture, and shouted, "Gentle fist eight trigrams, thirty-two palms!"
This is the high-level gentle fist. Once it is used by Hinata, it will hit all the tenketsu in Karin body. Even if Karin has a strong physique, she will also be paralyzed and fall to the ground on the spot, unable to recover in a short time.
Of course Karin knew this too.
Therefore, when she found that she was immobilized by the coercion of Byakugan and unable to move, she did not hesitate to use the killer weapon in her body.
'Swishh!'
Seeing that Karin was reduced to fish on a board, and when she was powerless to resist, several golden chains suddenly flew out from behind her, like a dancing golden snake, breaking free from the shackles of the Byakugan coercion, and shot at Hinataz who was in front of her.
Adamantine chains.
"How?"
Hinata murmured, and before she could react, she was hit by a chain and flew high, and finally fell from the air, falling onto the ground at the sidelines.
'I'm sorry, Tsunade-sama, I lost.'
This was Hinata's last thought before falling into a coma.
"Hinata, I'm sorry. I also have a reason to win."
Karin murmured. She manipulated the chains just now and deliberately controlled the force. Although she knocked Hinata unconscious, it did not cause any danger to her life.
"That jutsu"
Tsunade was surprised when she saw Karin use Adamantine chains against Hinata, and quickly recognized that it was the unique powerful ability of the Uzumaki Clan.
In Tsunade's memory, the only person who can master this technique is the previous Kyuubi Jinchuriki Uzumaki Kushina. It was with this ability that Kushina was able to suppress the Nine Tails in her body for so many years.
It's really unexpected that Karin, who was only five years old, actually awakened such a terrifying ability.
Hinata was not wronged.
Thinking of this, Tsunade sighed and glanced at Kisame, who was also looking at her with a half-smile.
"It seems that my disciple won the first round, do you have any objection? The current score is one to zero."
While announcing to Tsunade, Kisame walked into the arena, put a big hand on Karin's thin shoulder, and delivered some chakra to her.
"Ho ho"
Karin had just gone through a fierce battle, especially after she used the Adamantine chains, she is sweating profusely and panting, but she couldn't restrain the excitement and happiness on her face.
"Teacher, I won!" She raised her head and said to the ghost shark with a look of joy.
"Well, you did a good job this time, go down and rest first, and I will reward you later."
Kisame rubbed Karin's red hair and watched her bounce back to Kimimaro and Haku, to share the joy of victory with her two teammates.
"Hmph, don't be too happy, there are still two matches left."
Tsunade snorted coldly, strode past Kisame, and came to her disciples.
"Toneri, take Hinata down to rest."
She first glanced at the unconscious Hinata, gave a command to Toneri, and then with a gloomy gaze, she swept over the remaining disciples one by one.
This time, the little kids no longer signed up as eagerly as before, because after seeing Karin's Adamantine chains, they all realized more or less that the opponents are much stronger than they thought.
Tsunade also realized this problem.
Among the three disciples of Kisame, even the weakest, Karin has awakened her Kekkei Genkai, Adamantine chains. How much has Haku and Kimimaro grow in this period of time?
What is certain is that the next two are definitely stronger than Karin.
Thinking of this, Tsunade frowned and looked at Pakura who was watching the fight not far away. Under her gaze, Pakura seemed a little guilty and lowered her head.
Sure enough, the information provided by Pakura was wrong. Kisame must have disclosed his identity to her, so that she would cooperate with him to paralyze her with false information.
'Asshole.'
Tsunade cursed inwardly, clenched her fists so hard that the veins on the back of her hands burst out. She looked at Deidara in the crowd angrily, and yelled at the latter:
"Didara, the second match is up to you!"
"What?!"
Deidara was very surprised when he heard the words, and asked subconsciously, "Tsunade-sama, shouldn't I be the last one to go up, no one can deal with Kimimaro except me"
He always thought that his mission was to defeat Kimimaro, but he never expected that he would be arranged by Tsunade to fight ahead of schedule.
Temari, Yamato, Gaara and others were also surprised and puzzled by Tsunade's decision. After all, if Deidara fights in the second round, it means that one of them will face the strongest, Kimimaro in the third round.
"Don't talk nonsense, come here."
Tsunade interrupted Deidara's chatter and shouted again, causing the latter to shiver and jump out quickly.
"Haku's ice release is a very tricky Kekkei Genkai, and I suspect that he, like Karin, has developed a powerful killer move, but your explosive escape restrains him to a certain extent. So, I want you to win this battle! Do you understand?"
Tsunade yelled at Deidara.
She also knew that if Deidara was dispatched in advance, no one would be able to deal with Kimimaro, and the hope of winning the third battle would be very slim.
But.
Tsunade has an intuition that if she doesn't send her strongest Deidara in the second round, then the match is likely to end early, ending with a 0-2 defeat by her side.
'Kisame must have already anticipated her thoughts, dug a hole and waited for her, wanting to give her a humiliating defeat.'
Therefore, Tsunade decided to temporarily change the plan and sent Deidara to fight.
No matter what the final result is, at least win the next game and save some self respect.
So, Deidara reluctantly walked to the center of the stage and met Haku, who had been waiting there for a long time.
"Are you ready?" Haku was polite and asked Deidara before he started.
"Oh, there's really no way."
When Deidara heard that, he shook his head, looked at Haku and Kimimaro, who was not far behind him, and said, "It seems that I can only do 1v2, I will blow you up first, and then defeat Kimimaro. In this way, I can get the final victory in this competition for Tsunade-sama."
"First of all, the rules of this competition is not consecutive battles. Second, if you think you can defeat me, I'm afraid it won't be that easy."
In the face of Deidara's contemptuous attitude, Haku replied coldly. As soon as he finished speaking, he launched an attack immediately.
'Huu.'
As soon as he raised his hand, without any imprinting any seal, three ice picks appeared out of thin air and shot towards Deidara.
'Um?'
Facing Haku's instant ninjutsu, Deidara was taken aback and was really caught off guard.
In a hurry, he didn't have time to form a seal, so he could only roll to the side, dodging the ice pick slightly embarrassedly. But unfortunately, he was still scratched by the ice pick, leaving a wound.
'Hiss!'
Deidara sucked in a breath of cold air, and felt an extremely cold chill along the wound, spreading towards his limbs, making him feel like he fell into an ice cellar, as if even his blood would stop flowing.
'What a terrible ice ninjutsu.'
The seemingly inconspicuous ice pick has deadly power. It almost made Deidara roll over on the spot and lose.
As soon as he came up, he learned a big lesson, which made Deidara look dignified and completely stopped underestimating him.
'Whoosh.'
He jumped back, trying to distance himself from Haku, and at the same time made a throwing motion with both hands.
In the next instant, countless small clay spiders flew out from the mouth of his palm, moved towards Haku like rain.
"Haaaa!"
Deidara raised the corner of his mouth and snorted lowly with one hand. When the little spiders arrived in front of Haku, he did not hesitate to detonate them.
'Boom boom boom.'
For a time, like a firework show, groups of explosions appeared around Haku, trying to devour him.
But Haku didn't panic. A large number of translucent ice cubes appeared around him out of thin air, forming an ice fortress to protect him.
The clay spider detonated by Deidara failed to hurt a single hair of Haku.
With Haku's movement, the ice fortress slowly changed forms, then spread rapidly from his feet, and covered a small half of the stage in a blink of an eye.
'Damn.'.
Deidara gritted his teeth when he saw this scene, not only because his attack didn't work, but because Haku's posture was too elegant, and he was more like an artist than him.
That's right, right now Haku is like an artist who manipulates the power of ice and snow.
Seeing that the entire field was going to be covered by the ice, completely becoming Haku's territory, Deidara's choice was to summon the bird.
'Poof.'
After a cloud of white smoke dissipated, a huge clay bird appeared, Deidara jumped on the bird's back without hesitation, and ordered it to flap its wings and fly into the sky.
'Swii.'
A large number of ice picks were shot from the ground after Haku discovered Deidara's intention and tried to shoot down the clay bird with the ice picks.
However, under Deidara's subtle manipulation, the Clay bird nimbly evaded all the icicle attacks and brought him to a safe height.
He is fifty meters above the ground now.
At this height, he is beyond the reach of the whip, and even a long-range ice pick will lose speed and most of its lethality after flying to a height of 50 meters, and it will become nothing to fear.
"Ha ha ha ha!"
Deidara breathed a sigh of relief and laughed with his hands on his hips. Although this fighting method is a bit disgraceful, in order to win, he will not care about it.
The next thing he has to do is to use a more powerful clay bomb to blow up Haku on the ground together with the icy tortoise shell around him, so he can easily end the battle.
