Hyuuga Neji is a member of the elitist Hyuuga clan known for their doujutsu and unique taijutsu style. He is very cold and uncaring, his fate is set and no one can convince him otherwise and yet he seems to constantly fight that fate every day.
However, as Naruto learned in the last fight, stats don't mean anything. Still, Naruto felt Neji would win this, he was overwhelmingly stronger statistically than Temari.
The pair only studied each other a moment longer before they attacked.
Neji sprung forward, closing the distance between himself and Temari in an instant. One palm already shooting forward only to clang loudly against the steel frame of the girl's battle-fan.
Temari jumped back after the initial strike from the Hyuuga, her fan flinging forth florets of razor sharp winds the boy easily avoided, closing in on her once more.
His face remained flat as he assaulted the fan wielding girl without pause or hesitation, not allowing her to gain any distance from him again. Unfortunately for him, she was quite good with that fan, regularly deflecting or outright blocking his attacks. Still, unless she could find a way to fight back he would eventually break her defense and when he did it would be over for the Suna kunoichi.
She was sweating, her arms were clearly growing tired after having to constantly defend against the relentless attack. She could read the writing on the wall, if she didn't create some separation soon it was going to be game over. So she did something impulsive, she ignore one of his strikes, rather sacrificed taking a hit to her shoulder in exchange for landing a clean hit on Neji.
Neji smirked, feeling victorious when his attack went through unblocked. But the same smirk on Temari's face made him hesitate just long enough to see her pull a smaller fan that was instantly charged with chakra. He instantly bent backwards at a ninety degree angle just in time to avoid the small blade of wind that would have slit his throat had he remained.
The girl frowned when the boy avoided the attack but was not entirely displeased, it did give her time and space to some separation between the two. Once Temari had about ten meters she began unleashing several large gusts of wind directed at the boy not only pushing him back but also stirring up any dirt on the ground that might obscure his vision or at the very least irritate his eyes and in turn irritate him, possibly make him sloppier.
Neji was indeed getting irritated but not enough to make any great mistakes. He could wait out her weak wind attacks, she would tire soon enough.
Temari kept pushing her gusts of wind, slowly increasing the strength behind them, so long as Neji just stood there biding his time he would never know what was about to hit him. "Tsumuji Otoshi no Jutsu," she finally called out. The wind she had generated suddenly picked up speed until it encircle Neji completely. She then lifter her fan high also lifting the ball of wind holding Neji into the air before she swung her fan down hard slamming the ball into the arena floor.
However, just before the ball hit the arena floor, there was a shout from inside. "Kaiten!" An instant later the orb of wind exploded outwards. Remaining in the center was a spinning wall of chakra. As the chakra dissipated, it revealed Neji standing at the center of it completely unharmed. He also did not hesitate. He attacked the tired girl knocking her out in just three hits before she could close her fan to defend herself.
As soon as she hit the ground, Neji stood straight and walked away without looking back.
"Winner, Hyuuga Neji," announced Hayate. The man looked so unhealthy it was difficult to tell if he was upset with Neji's behavior but it didn't really matter at that point as the fight was done.
As soon as the fight ended, Naruto was quick to pay out to the various winners 9444 ryo each. Strangely enough, they all stuck around to place bets on the next round of fighting, winners wanted more and the losers wanted to get their money back. Naruto was tempted to cackle with glee when he thought about all the money he might make for his troubles.
Akado Yaroi vs Akimichi Chouji
"Place your bets Ladies and Gentlemen, the gate is open until the start of the fight," Naruto called out and was quickly hounded with bets, most of them overwhelmingly in Chouji's favor. It didn't take long for Naruto to collect the cash since pretty much everyone was there already waiting to place their bets save a few. Gaara wasn't, he simply stood off to the side, staring intently at the arena floor. Lee and Gai were engaged in conversation with the words 'Unyouthful' and 'Youthful' being thrown around a lot. Neji sneered at Naruto but didn't react any more than that, choosing to cross his arms and focus on the arena floor.
