Next Day;

The charm of the Chunin Exam finals was in full display. While the village was running, a lot of people gathered around the arena.

Some of them were selling items while others were opening the gambling station.

Most importantly, people from various countries were entering the arena, and it was getting packed pretty quickly.

The contestants were also brought to the Arena, but they were taken to the battleground first.

While others sat on the arena seat, Genma, the Special Jonin of Konoha with a senbon on his mouth, started explaining.

”Look up! Today, you are the protagonist of this exam.”

At this moment, everyone raised their heads towards the arena and Kage’s station with a mixture of pride and joy.

While some had different expressions, they couldn’t hide their smirk.

”Welcome to Konoha Chunin Exam’s Finals! Today, we are here to witness the battles between some of the finest shinobi of the Konoha Genin Roster.”

”Except for the Naruto Uzumaki and Neji Hyuga, everyone else, go back to the resting area!”

Hearing his command, Temari, Kankuro, Shikamaru, Gaara, Shino, and Sasuke returned to the resting area.

Yes, Sasuke wasn’t late this time.

He didn’t spend the first few days in the hospital, which made it easier for him to directly start training with Kakashi.

Because of this, he had already learned Chidori and rested for a few days before the finals just to keep himself in his best position.

After all, he wanted to defeat Gaara and then fight Naruto.

Although they had been training on a different ground, he knew Naruto had made a lot of progress.

After all, Kakashi didn’t hide the information about Nine Tails to him.

After everyone left, only Genma, Naruto, and Neji were left in the battleground.

At this moment, Naruto and Neji were staring at each other as if they had a staring contest.

Most importantly, Neji still had that condescending attitude as before.

Naruto had been accepting those memories for the past month, so he knew why Neji was like this, but he didn’t know if he could change him.

Even so, he would do his best to change Neji. Because Neji sacrificed himself to save Hinata.

Naruto raised his fist towards Neji and said.

”I will do as I said. I will defeat you without using that Chakra.”

”Hmph! Even if you use that chakra, it wouldn’t make a difference.”

Neji narrowed his eyes and took a Gentle Fist stance as he spoke.

Although he knew the potency of this chakra, he wasn’t afraid of Naruto. After all, Naruto was the last in the class.

Not just him, everyone else who hadn’t seen that Chakra felt the same way. They didn’t think Naruto could defeat Neji.

Naruto didn’t get into a verbal battle; instead, he took a deep breath and channeled his Chakra throughout his body.

Then, he dashed forward.

Neji sneered. He didn’t know where Naruto got his confidence from to fight him in close combat, but he didn’t care.

His Byakugan, while not having precognition of Sharingan, could still see things clearly.

He could see all and any kind of movement that Naruto was making. But to his surprise, it was a straight fist.

He channeled his chakra into his palm and struck his fist, pushing it away before trying to land a palm on his wrist.

But Neji’s expression darkened when he collided with Naruto for the second time.

Pat! Pat! Pat! Pat!

Before he could stop, Naruto came with a left hook, but Neji dodged it and launched an upward palm at his chin.

But Naruto blocked it using his other hand and kicked Neji in the leg, forcing him to lose balance.

Neji, being a good student at Taijutsu, managed to support himself on one foot before using the other foot to launch a round-house kick on Naruto.

Naruto blocked it using his forearm and tried to catch Neji’s leg, but Neji raised his other leg and kicked him on the neck.

Because of this, Naruto was forced to block the attack using his other arm.

This allowed Neji to lock Naruto between his legs, which he used to spin his upper body in mid-air and used the momentum to throw Naruto to the ground.

Naruto didn’t get any injuries from this and quickly got up. He rushed towards Neji once again, and their collision continued.

Fist Versus Palm, Kicks Versus Kicks!

Each of their collision released a burst of chakra, but both seemed to be mutually harming each other.

”Father, didn’t you say Neji-nii is the most talented in the family? Why isn’t his Gentle Fist style working against someone like him?”

Hanabi asked.

Even someone as young as her knew that Naruto was dead last while her cousin was the strongest among the young generation.

But during their fight, Neji’s attacks weren’t working. Even with the best of his efforts, he wasn’t able to land a proper blow on Naruto.

”Listen, Hanabi, you should never underestimate a ninja based on his records. Naruto Uzumaki has grown significantly after his graduation.”

”More importantly, look at his body using your Byakugan. Look carefully at Neji’s hands as well!” ℯ

Hiashi Hyuga spoke with a majestic tone. Unlike his daughter, he was using Byakugan to watch the battle.

Because of this, he could see that Naruto wasn’t just blocking Neji, he was also injuring Neji.

Meaning every attack or every block Naruto performed, it would tear up Neji’s skin.

Because Naruto was surrounded by Wind Chakra completely.

’But how is he not injured while running Wind Chakra Nature inside his body?’

This stumped Hiashi. If it were Lightning Chakra Nature, he could understand it to some degree.

But this was Wind Chakra. It was a cutting force, but this chakra was harming Naruto instead; it was boosting his speed and strength.

”Haa! Haa!”

Neji suddenly kicked Naruto away and jumped back.

His hands were trembling. The blood was spilling all over. He looked at Naruto, gritting his teeth as he asked.

”How can your body withstand such a cutting force? It is humanly impossible.”
