The Sharingan Hyuga - Volume 1 Chapter 31 Chunin Finals Part 1

At the right time, naruto who was somehow getting chased by a couple of dozens of bulls flew from the entrance and fell into the middle of the arena.

Hokage coughed “Cough* since the first match participants are here. remaining can go back.

The proctor announced, “The first match is Naruto Uzumaki vs Neji Hyuga”.

They began their battle.

In the middle of their battle when Naruto was beaten down by Neji with Palm Rotation. Hinata looked worried while looking at him, A voice sounded in her ears “worried about him?”. She turned back and when she saw the person who’s standing behind her back, she smiled and shouted “Shu Nii”.

everyone near her turned towards him and was very shocked to see Shuichi who doesn’t have his usual cold expression. Ino almost screamed “Shuichi kun”. Even Yakumo and sai left their seats and came and surrounded him. He smiled while greeting them “It’s been a while everyone”. Ino got fainted while mumbling “Shuichi kun smiled at me”. “Shu Nii. you look different. Especially your expression”.

His face was still full of smiles “Ah! it’s nothing. It will change back eventually. It’s just that it’s been a month since I saw a Human face. So, I’m just happy to see you guys”.

Yakumo just lightly punched on his shoulders playfully “I knew you wouldn’t change”. “Haha, by the way, why isn’t sensei here? I want to check with Byakugan but, since there are too many chakras gathered here, it will be hard for me at my current stage to point one exactly”. “We too didn’t saw her for a while”. “Well, anyway. let’s watch the match”.

After a while, Naruto dug through the ground with his fingers and attacked him at a perfect time. When Shuichi saw the changes in Neji after getting defeated, he sighed “I thought he would be frustrated upon losing to him but instead…..”

“The Winner is Naruto Uzumaki”.

all cheered for him. He was surprised at those cheers. but he grinned while pumping up his fist.

“The Second Match is Gaara of the Sand vs Sasuke Uchiha”.

Gaara slowly landed on the ground but there was no Sasuke around. After waiting for 15 minutes, The audience began to murmur. The Hokage and The Kazekage began to discuss. After a while, they decided to push it to the last match.

The proctor then announced that Sasuke and Gaara’s match will be postponed.

“The Third Match Temari of the Sand vs Shuichi Hyuga”.

“Well then, Will be right back”. “good luck Shuichi kun”. “be careful Shu Nii”.

He disappeared and appeared before her. The Kazekage looked at Shuichi with an interest “So, he is the one who completed 12 Tasks and earned special permission?”.

Hokage nodded “yeah. He is the strongest Genin of Konoha”. “Oh! stronger than the Uchiha? now that’s interesting”. Hokage chuckled “I hope you won’t get shocked later”.

Temari looked at the youth in front of her. “So, you are the one who qualified for final without chunin exams? you don’t look like much. Did they give you special permission? How weak.”. Shuichi instead of getting angry smiled at her “Well, they say a dog that barks loud doesn’t bite much. I didn’t believe it at first. But looking at you, hmm, I should accept it probably”.

“You”. She raised her Fan. Proctor interrupted “I didn’t say start yet”. Shuichi replied with a huge smile on his face “well, would it even matter whether you say or not?. After all. a weakling is a weakling. It won’t change just after you announce the word start”. he said with pity showing on his face.

“We’ll see about that”. She attacked him with blowing the wind with her fan. He yawned while looking at her attack. He raised his hand, a Dark brownish-purple chakra surrounded it and then it became very sharp in a second. he just sliced through the air. The attack was filled with chakra sliced vertically through the wind and the dark brownish-purple attack which is in the form of a crescent moon went through her way. She blocked that quick counter-attack with her fan. but still, she was forced to move back a few metres along with the Fan.

She immediately opened the fan a bit more. “Second star”. and she attacked from a distance again. This time, Shuichi found it’s power increased. He once again raised his Chakra sword and sliced the wind before him in an X shape. While the attack before him got nullified, the remaining wind got scattered before it even reached him. and this time, her fan wasn’t able to block the attack and she was crashed onto the wall behind her.

She stood up with a serious expression and opened the fan full. The three purple moons can be seen on it. She raised her fan once again

“Cyclone Scythe Jutsu”

Using her Giant Folding Fan, Temari caused many currents of wind to collide with each other, creating vacuum pockets. She created several slicing whirlwinds and started to control them with her chakra by directing them towards Shuichi in all directions. so that he cannot cut the wind once again like before.

“Hmm, now that’s a clever move”. His chakra sword disappeared. “Byakugan”. He spun around when they were just about to hit him.

“Eight Trigrams Palm Rotation”.

He emitted the chakra from all of his tenketsu while spinning round and repelled everything until none of the attacks remained.

He smiled widely while looking at her “say I heard that Chunin final rounds are one of the ways that a village shows other villages it’s power by sending a representative. So, does Sand village want to tell us that they are weak? Is that why they sent you?”.

Sakura who was standing beside Naruto “for some reason, I seem to like his cold expression more. His smiles seem to annoy me”. while others nodded, naruto said “but I feel this smile is a bit weird. I’m not sure how”. Yakumo replied, “It was a mocking one only that it was mixed with Sai’s fake smile”. “Oh!”.

She screamed, “Argh, this bast***d getting on my nerves”. When she was just about to attack, Shuichi grinned “well then Temari san, your time of the attack is over”.

He disappeared and reappeared behind her and pushed his palm towards her.

“Eight Trigrams Mountain Crusher”.

It is a more powerful variation of Eight Trigrams Vacuum Palm. Shuichi hit her at close range with a powerful wave of chakra emitted from their palm, which sent her flying back, causing severe damage.

Her Fan fell off the other side. She slowly stood up. Without even giving her a chance, He dashed towards her and stopped before.

He smiled again “Temari san, you are in my range now. Goodbye”.

“Hakke Hyaku Nijuuhasshou – Eight Trigrams 128 Palms”.

He struck her consecutively. “2 palms” “4 palms” “8 palms” “16 palms” “32 palms” “64 palms” and “128 palms”. The last one gave him a trouble little bit as he needs to strike 64 times consecutively for the past month. He was done with it just a couple of days before the competition.

Temari collapsed and kankuro entered the ring to check on her. they carried her away on a stretcher.

The proctor announced, “The winner is Shuichi Hyuga”.

he disappeared from the Arena while the Audience cheering for him.

After that, soon, The next match started. It appeared to be a boring Match when considering the previous two matches. In the end, Shikamaru won with his tactics.

After that, they waited for another 15 minutes but Sasuke doesn’t seem to appear yet. So, Hokage ordered the proctor to disqualify him. but just then, Kakashi and Sasuke appeared in the middle of arena with quite an entrance. Kakashi embarrassedly asked “We aren’t late. are we?”.

Shuichi cursed him in his mind “what do you mean you aren’t late?. I already saw you when I was fighting in Arena. You were just waiting until the last second because you were busy reading a book? Must be the new volume of Icha Icha Tactics. you pervert sensei”.

The proctor announced their names. and they stood before each other. While Gaara’s looking angry, Sasuke is looking at him with an arrogance?”.

Shuichi mumbled upon seeing his expression “What did he learn in the past month which can make win against him?”.
