The other Leaf Shinobi watching the match were also stunned.
This time, it wasn't the 'trick' of using lightning-style Chakra to cause paralysis and interfere with the opponent, like last time.
This time,
it was raw power, an overwhelming display of speed and ocular power!
Just now, when Neji attacked Hinata,
Hinata struck his weak point with even greater speed.
And using the Byakugan's ability, she pinpointed Neji's Chakra points, scattering his Chakra.
Then she directly sent Neji flying.
This showed that Hinata's speed and ocular power were far superior to Neji's!
If Hinata hadn't held back,
Neji probably wouldn't have lasted a single round against Hinata!
"So strong!"
Neji felt his belief crumbling.
How could a dead last instantly become an elite stronger than him in just a few days?
"No... impossible!"
Neji gritted his teeth and charged forward again.
However, this time was the same as last time.
Neji couldn't last ten moves against Hinata at all!
No matter how he used the Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four Palms, he couldn't hit Hinata.
Because her speed and eyesight were simply too strong!
This made Neji feel that her strength even surpassed Guy's!
"How can this be?
How can this be!?"
The more Neji fought, the more flustered he became.
Finally, he was once again sent flying by a single palm strike from Hinata.
"Brother Neji, you are not my opponent."
Hinata let out a long breath, then retracted her fist.
At this moment, she felt incredibly confident.
She did it!
"I successfully changed myself...
Thank you,
Bai Hao-kun..."
Hinata silently thanked him in her heart.
Then she continued to speak to Neji, "You should forfeit."
Looking at Hinata,
Neji felt a bit stifled.
As an elite, he was now being thoroughly defeated by a dead last.
This feeling was very unpleasant.
But, no matter how unpleasant it was,
it was the truth.
He couldn't change it.
"Lady Hinata,
why have your speed and ocular power increased so much?"
Neji asked the question he most wanted to know.
"Could it be,
is it all because of the special training Bai Hao gave you?"
"Huh?"
Hinata's face flushed upon hearing this.
Then she shook her head repeatedly.
Although she didn't know whether she should conceal this matter,
Bai Hao also didn't say it had to be concealed.
However, in her opinion,
since Bai Hao chose not to continue being a Ninja,
she couldn't let him be harassed because of this.
So,
she decisively lied again.
"No!
It's not!
You're talking nonsense!
I got stronger through my own training!"
Everyone: "..."
The way she said it...
If they didn't have eyes, they really wouldn't be able to tell she was lying.
"Is that so?"
Neji gave a bitter smile upon hearing this, "So having a good Master can change one's destiny, huh~
I forfeit!"
With Neji's forfeit,
the arena fell silent for a moment.
Everyone was pondering Hinata's sudden increase in strength and Bai Hao's true power.
Except for one person...
"Yay! Yay!"
Naruto laughed foolishly, "I knew it, as long as you work hard, you'll get stronger!
One day, I'll defeat Bai Hao first!
Then I'll defeat Sasuke!
And finally become Hokage!
Hahahaha!"
Kakashi's eye twitched beside him.
Then he silently sighed.
Chapter 15: Dream Card, New Organization Member Violet [Fifth Update for Flowers and Collections]
The Chunin Exams continued.
However, Bai Hao did not continue to watch with his Telescope Jutsu.
"Hinata really is...
bad at lying~"
Bai Hao couldn't help but sigh.
Although he didn't participate in the Chunin Exams,
he had been secretly observing with his Telescope Jutsu the whole time.
He was invincible in the bookstore.
Even if Kaguya Otsutsuki revived, she wouldn't be able to detect him secretly observing with his Telescope Jutsu.
Therefore,
he spied without any scruples.
He not only saw all the matches but also witnessed Orochimaru and Kabuto's secret meeting.
Orochimaru probed Kabuto with words.
He found that Kabuto had not betrayed him.
This made Orochimaru even more confused and curious about the organization Karin belonged to.
However, Bai Hao didn't pay attention to these matters.
He didn't care about Orochimaru or anything like that.
"Overall, the plot points I've brushed out so far are quite good."
Bai Hao had changed many major plotlines.
These major plotlines, in turn, caused many minor plot changes.
However,
the main plot of this world had not changed at all.
This was the self-repairing power of 'destiny'.
Everything was predestined.
Although sometimes the process would change,
the outcome would never change!
And he, the one who changed others' destinies,
would suffer backlash from 'destiny'.
This time, Hinata's sudden increase in strength, which caused a part of his own strength to be exposed,
was one of the backlashes from 'destiny'.
In the future, he would constantly be arranged by 'destiny',
suffering attacks from various strong individuals.
And his strength would also be exposed little by little.
However,
he was not worried about these minor issues.
As long as his strength grew fast enough, these problems would no longer be problems.
Moreover,
he had just drawn the Sage Body reward not long ago!
Rinnegan, plus Sage Body,
he was basically invincible.
