Chapter 192: Chapter 192: Sasuke and Neji's New Moves
Sakura was quite discouraged for a moment. She was clearly here to cheer for Sasuke, but now she couldn't even see Sasuke clearly, nor could she understand the flow of the battle. So, she came here for nothing?
But, she wasn't in the same team as Sasuke now. If she didn't come to show her face often, she was afraid Sasuke would forget her.
What she feared even more was that Sasuke might fall for another girl.
Wasn't this feeling natural?
At the same time, at a considerable distance from the rocky area, Kakashi and Kai stood on a large rock, also observing the battle.
Kai smiled: "Young people are truly full of youthful passion! Such an exciting battle really brings tears to my eyes. Kakashi, how about we have a youthful duel too?"
"No way."
Kakashi flatly refused and changed the subject, "Natsuki's strength is already very high, and Neji and Sasuke are growing incredibly fast."
Kai nodded: "Yes, I also fought Neji once before. His talent is truly excellent. Not only has he mastered the Hyuga clan's Gentle Fist to a very profound level, but he has also opened the Third Gate of the Eight Gates.
I plan to recommend Neji for Jonin after the next Chunin Exams."
Kakashi was thoughtful: "Jonin? Sasuke should be about the same level, right?"
However, thinking about Naruto and Sakura who were still Genin, Kakashi got a headache again.
Actually, if Naruto and Sakura also get promoted to Chunin in the next exam, then it would be fine for Sasuke to be promoted to Jonin, as a team of one Jonin leading two Chunin is also allowed.
However, given the current state of Naruto and Sakura, even if they can participate in the Chunin Exams, the chances of them passing are probably not high.
Especially Sakura, this kind of state won't do!
It seems I need to make time to teach this girl a bit!
At this moment, the battle between the three reached a fever pitch.
Natsuki alone faced the two, not only not falling behind at all, but even steadily suppressing them, which made the two very unhappy.
Seeing Natsuki retreat slightly, the two immediately seized the opportunity to launch a new move.
While Sasuke formed a hand sign with one hand, he also quickly lunged forward.
Natsuki was about to defend, but found that Sasuke suddenly transformed into seven figures.
It didn't look like Genjutsu, but more like Shadow Clones, yet it made Natsuki feel strange.
So he kicked a small stone on the ground, and the stone immediately passed through one of the figures.
"Just afterimage clones?
Are they all afterimages, or is the main body hidden among them?"
Natsuki quickly analyzed, but his short sword didn't hesitate, directly slashing towards the nearest figure, but it cut through empty air, so this one was indeed an afterimage.
At this moment, the sound of air being cut came from behind.
Natsuki immediately turned his blade and struck, and with a clang, successfully blocked Sasuke's short sword.
However, when Natsuki swung his sword again, he found that this Sasuke, who should have been a physical body, suddenly turned into an afterimage, and this strike hit nothing.
Hmm?
Something's not right!
Natsuki felt it was somewhat familiar, but couldn't recall it for a moment.
At this time, the other figures also followed with attacks, but Natsuki slashed at them one by one, and they were all undoubtedly afterimages.
Immediately after, the sound of air being cut came from behind again.
Natsuki again turned his blade to defend and again deflected the sword, but when he attacked again, this figure turned into an afterimage once more.
Natsuki remembered, and a smile appeared on his face: "Hehe, so that's it!
Body Flicker Shisui, right!"
Kakashi recognized it earlier than Natsuki: "It's Shisui's Body Flicker Technique?
Sasuke only asked me about the general idea of this move before, I didn't expect him to figure it out himself!"
"Shisui?
Is it that Body Flicker Shisui of the Uchiha?"
Kai naturally had also heard of Shisui's fame, and was also surprised at this moment, "This little guy Sasuke is incredible, he actually figured out Body Flicker Shisui's move on his own!"
The reason why Shisui's Body Flicker Technique was powerful was because his phantom clones rapidly switched between tangible and intangible, making it impossible for people to attack or defend, almost like an unsolvable problem.
Coupled with Shisui's Three Tomoe Sharingan and his incredibly strong swordsmanship, he was completely invincible on the battlefield!
"Exactly Shisui-nii's Body Flicker Technique!
Natsuki, you told me to learn from others back then, and I've learned from Shisui-nii's move.
Today, you'll be the first to taste it!"
Sasuke was full of confidence.
Only after mastering this Body Flicker Technique did he understand Shisui's strength.
Remembering when he went to find Itachi Uchiha back then, Shisui-nii was also there.
At that time, Shisui-nii was still humble, saying he was not as good as Itachi.
Now it seems perhaps Shisui-nii was just being modest.
Body Flicker Shisui was famous, and Itachi was still young at the time.
How could Shisui not be Itachi's opponent?
He only realized now that he had never thought he could learn Shisui-nii's power!
One day, he would use Shisui-nii's moves to kill Itachi!
While thinking, he continued to lunge forward, apparently believing that Natsuki also couldn't break through this move of his.
But Natsuki smiled: "Shisui's Body Flicker Technique is very strong, but Sasuke, you are not Shisui.
You only have the Two Tomoe Sharingan, and you're not fast enough.
This is the weakness of your move!
Watch me use a new move too!
String Release: Heavenly Maiden Scattering Flowers!"
Suddenly, over a dozen Chakra strings shot out from Natsuki's body, instantly piercing through six of the phantoms, while one of the main bodies was entangled by the Chakra strings.
"So fast!" Sasuke couldn't believe it, completely unable to imagine that Chakra strings could attack so quickly.
"You're too slow!" Natsuki stated the truth, then with a pull, he yanked Sasuke over, and then punched him flying.
Before Natsuki could retract his fist, Neji, who had been waiting for the right moment, erupted.
He was enveloped in a burst of airflow, having opened the Third Gate of Life of the Eight Gates.
Then his body began to rotate rapidly, actually performing Eight Trigrams Palm: Rotation in place.
Hmm?
Rotation in place?
What is he going to do?!
Neji immediately provided the answer.
With a push off his feet, he actually flew towards Natsuki at high speed in a rotating manner using Rotation.
"Eight Trigrams Palm: Rotation Drill!"
Seeing this kind of Rotation, not only Natsuki was stunned, but the others were also amazed.
Kai became even more excited: "Rotation can deflect all attacks, but it has always been a defensive move.
But if Rotation is used as a projectile for attack, wouldn't it become the strongest attack, capable of deflecting all enemies?!"
Kakashi, however, had a strange expression: "The idea is good, but isn't this Fang Passing Fang?"
Natsuki was also surprised by Neji's thought process.
This was indeed very similar to the Inuzuka clan's Fang Passing Fang, and he might be charged royalties by the Inuzuka clan.
But Fang Passing Fang seemed to be pure taijutsu, while this was Rotation turned into a projectile!
The strongest defense transformed into the strongest attack?
Opening the Eight Gates because his leg strength isn't enough?
It is indeed a good idea!
Seeing that the Rotation Drill was extremely fast and was about to reach him, Natsuki didn't hesitate either and quickly made a countermeasure.
He directly slapped the ground, and a rotating top about the size of two people immediately popped out of the ground, smashing onto the Rotation Drill at an even faster speed.
With a loud bang, the rotating top and the Rotation Drill bounced off each other simultaneously.
