Chapter 91: Naruto vs Neji: Conclusion

For the first time since their match began, Neji saw Naruto move from his spot.

And in the next instant, Naruto was right in front of him. It should have been impossible for his eyes to miss something like this… it was as if he had used some sort of space-time jutsu.

Neji felt the impending attack and prepared to activate his defensive jutsu again, but just then, his right wrist was grabbed by Naruto.

"No," Naruto said in a cold tone before he began to squeeze.

Neji felt a tremendous amount of pain and could even hear his bones cracking.

"S-Stop!" He tried to use his other hand, but this one was also intercepted and held.

"Ahh!… I surrender!" he finally said. There was nothing more he could do. His opponent was too strong.

"No," Naruto said once more. Then he proceeded to squeeze Neji's wrists until every bone was broken and every muscle was ripped apart.

Neji screamed again, this time much louder. His mind was racing as he endured all this agony.

'Why is the referee not stopping the match?!' He could not see Genma anywhere.

His eyes moved to the audience, trying to find his uncle. He should have done something by now. But Neji was unable to find anyone. Other than the arena, everything was covered in darkness.

He could not think properly anymore...the pain was too much. At this point, Neji just wanted it to end.

He saw Naruto release what was left of his wrists and prepare to attack again. This time, Naruto raised his closed fist… this was not another slap.

However, Neji did not move. He had already lost the will to fight.

This was his fate, and he had to accept it.

Naruto's fist was massive…it was impossibly big and began to grow even more until it covered his entire field of view. It came down on him like a hammer on an anvil.

Neji heard a loud and terrible noise as his skull began to crack, and then… everything went completely dark.

The spectacle viewed by the audience was very different from what Neji had just experienced.

What they all saw was Neji using his Revolving Heaven jutsu for a few seconds, and then, once Neji came back into view, he looked directly at Naruto.

His eyes opened wide, and an expression of pure terror appeared on his face.

This only lasted for a very short amount of time before the boy collapsed on the ground.

Genma hurried to check on him. The referee gave a sigh of relief when he noticed that Neji's vitals were normal. He was just unconscious.

He glanced at Naruto. Genma would never admit it out loud, but he had no idea what the blond boy had done to knock out the Hyuga genius.

His first thought would have been Genjutsu, but as far as he was aware, there was no Genjutsu that would work on a Hyuga while their Byakugan was active.

"Winner… Uzumaki Naruto." Still, the winner was clear, and he had to declare it.

Very few claps and cheers were coming from the audience. Most of them did not understand either how Neji Hyuga, the number one genius of Konoha, had lost so quickly after a few slaps.

"That was certainly an interesting way to defeat a Hyuga." The 'Kazekage,' sitting in the V.I.P. area, commented with amusement in his voice.

"Yes… it is definitely unusual." The Hokage was not amused at all.

"To release such a controlled wave of bloodlust… especially from a genin. And they say that Mist Village is too cruel with their new recruits. Makes you wonder… right?" The Kazekage chuckled. Of course, he was aware that the Hokage had nothing to do with this. The man was too kind. But that just made it funnier to him.

'Naruto… what happened to you?' The Third Hokage had nothing but concern in his eyes.

Bloodlust was not something one could learn by practice alone and could not even be called a technique.

It was just something that people learned naturally as they experienced dangerous situations.

Only those who had gone through hell and back could have bloodlust powerful enough to project it onto others.

The one used by Naruto had been very focused on Neji, leaving only faint traces that most people in the audience were not able to notice, other than the most experienced warriors.

"Oh well…" Naruto said while glancing at the unconscious Neji. He had not been expecting this to completely knock him out.

Bloodlust affects everyone very differently. It all depends on their personal life experiences. Someone who had seen their fair share of bloodshed might be able to shrug it off, while others would become so affected that they could even experience hallucinations, akin to a genjutsu.

What happened to Neji was an extreme case. This was because of his lack of field experience and the fact that he was already beginning to be afraid of Naruto.

Neji's own fear and his sense of guilt for what he did to his cousin made him believe that he deserved a terrible punishment.

And his mind did the rest. It created a very realistic hallucination of a scenario he feared… being killed by Naruto.
