In Asma's lounge.
Red Bean ate a meatball and said with a smile, "Asma, don't lose too badly!"
Asma immediately grumbled, "Don't have too little confidence in me!"
Red glanced at Asma and said calmly, "Don't be nervous. It's nothing strange even if you lose. After all, the opponent is the real Balrog from God's organization. No one will laugh at you."
"Hey, must you guys hit me like this?"
Asma was speechless.
Gale hurriedly stepped forward to smooth things over. "Senior Asma, be careful of the opponent's illusion."
"Don't worry. I've already done the corresponding training under the old man's supervision." After a pause, Asma said confidently, "Therefore, I should still have a chance in this battle!"
Xi Yan suddenly said, "Itachi probably won't use the Take-fist Sword, right?"
"Uh …" Asma, who was full of confidence just a moment ago, instantly froze. He said worriedly, "It … It can't be, right?"
Throwing the wooden skewer in her hand into the trash basket, Red Bean chewed on the meatball and said, "Don't worry. If the opponent were to use the divine weapon in such an occasion, it would be so embarrassing!"
"That … That's true!"
Asma wiped the sweat on his forehead.
Red Bean continued, "However, the rules of the competition did not prohibit the use of divine weapons and spiritual beasts. Therefore, we can't rule out the possibility of the opponent using the Take-fist Sword. In short … Be careful!"
Asma said with a bitter expression, "The old man has really given me a difficult problem!"
After saying that, Asma mustered his courage and came before Red. "Red, no matter what, I will try my best! If … If I win, will you agree to go out with me? "
Hearing Asma's straightforward confession, Red Bean, Gale, Xi Yan, Xuan Jian, Yi Bixi, and the rest all winked at him.
Red glanced at Asma and nodded.
"That's great!"
Asma clenched his fist, his face filled with ecstasy.
Just then, a burst of cheers came from the stands outside. Everyone in the lounge looked towards the source of the cheers and saw that Asma's opponent, Itachi Uchiha, was already standing quietly in the middle of the field.
"It's my turn!"
Asma did not waste any more time. His figure flashed and he entered the venue.
After Asma left, Red Bean and the others quickly gathered in front of Red and teased, "Red, are you finally going to accept Asma's pursuit?"
Red shook her head and said calmly, "How could he win against the Flame Demon? So this prerequisite doesn't exist."
…
In the field.
Seeing that Asma had appeared, Itachi greeted Asma, "Senior Asma!"
Asma looked at Itachi solemnly. "There are no seniors in today's competition. We are equal competitors."
"Yes!"
Itachi also nodded solemnly.
At this time, Hyōjin on the rostrum announced, "The second match begins!"
Unlike the previous match, with Hyōjin's announcement, the two people in the field quickly retreated, took the initiative to open a distance, and began to make hand seals, displaying dazzling ninjutsu.
If the previous match was a display of physical skills, then this one was a performance of ninjutsu.
There is no doubt that considering that close combat is more likely to be affected by Itachi's genjutsu, Asma's tactics are very clear, that is, using ninjutsu and Ape's Wishful Steel Staff as the core, maintaining a medium and long distance, and then slowly looking for an opportunity to defeat the enemy.
Coincidentally, this kind of medium and long distance combat is also Itachi's favorite, so the two sides showed a completely different fighting style from the first game, letting the audience see a contest between ninjutsu.
In the stands.
Shikamaru was surprised: "So strong!"
Ningci nodded again and again: "Yes, the release of no seal ninjutsu, the mutual restraint between ninjutsu, and the judgment of timing, Asma -sensei and Headmaster are top-notch, almost impeccable!"
In the eyes of ordinary spectators, the field is a contest of ninjutsu such as Fire Release, Wind Release, Earth Release, and other ninjutsu, there are gorgeous flames, crows all over the sky, and the straightforward Wishful Steel Staff.
But in the eyes of ninjas, the choice of every ninjutsu, the method of casting, the timing of casting, and so on are enough to be studied in detail.
On the other side, in the stands of the Hyuga Clan.
Hiashi asked: "Richa, Natsuto, who do you think will win this match?"
Sitting next to Hiashi, Richa thought for a while and replied: "The current situation on the field is still balanced, but there are not many methods that Asma can use, and Itachi Uchiha still has many trump cards, so Itachi Uchiha has a higher chance of winning."
Otsutsuki Samurai said calmly: "Well, I think so too, after all, Itachi Uchiha is a Pupillary Kekkai ninja, and he also has Mangekyou Sharingan, it is very difficult for an ordinary ninja to defeat him."
Although his worldview was corrected by Hyōjin, in Otsutsuki Samurai's mind, Kekkai Genkai is nobler and stronger than other ninjas, and the concept that Pupillary Kekkai ninja is the best among all Kekkai ninjas has long been deeply ingrained in his mind and cannot be changed.
"Yes, this time, the candidate for Rokudaime-Sama is likely to be Itachi Uchiha."
Hiashi said while showing a look of regret.
Richa comforted, "Brother, there is no suitable candidate to compete for the position of Rokudaime-Sama, there is no other way around it!"
There is no doubt that Hiashi is still brooding over the fact that the Hyuga Clan is unable to compete for the position of Rokudaime-Sama Naruto, and as Richa said, the current Hyuga Clan does not have the ability to compete for the position of Rokudaime-Sama.
The older generation of Hiashi and Richa are both older than Hyōjin, they are neither suitable nor have full confidence to win the election of Rokudaime-Sama, and in Hyōjin's generation, there is no other talent in the clan except Hyōjin.
As for Ningci's generation, they are only 14 or 15 years old, and they are not capable of competing for the position of Rokudaime-Sama.
After sighing, Hiashi said: "Letting Itachi Uchiha become Rokudaime-Sama is Kage's idea, we have nothing to say. But Rokudaime-Sama, our Hyuga Clan must not let him go easily! Richa, how is Ningci? "
Richa also became serious: "A test was done a few days ago, the concentration of Tenseigan Chakra in Ningci's body is indeed increasing, but there is no sign of Tenseigan evolution."
Hiashi urged: "Hurry up!"
It can be expected that the competition for the position of Rokudaime-Sama will be more intense than the current competition for the position of Rokudaime-Sama, because at that time, Uzumaki Naruto, as the son of Four Generations, and Uchiha Sasuke can participate.
And Uzumaki Naruto, Uchiha Sasuke are now close to the Six-path level. If Ningci can't awaken the Tenseigan as soon as possible, then the chances of winning the competition for the position of Rokudaime-Sama will be very low.
"I know, I know!"
Richa is actually more anxious than Hiashi.
With Hyōjin's prestige growing day by day, the Hyuga Clan has also become the undisputed number one clan in the Shinobi World, and the Tenseigan is recognized as the strongest pupil technique in the Shinobi World.
Those powerful clans that could suppress the Hyuga Clan in the past, such as the Senju Clan, Uchiha Clan, Uzumaki Clan, and so on, are now not comparable to the Hyuga Clan with Hyōjin as their leader.
It is precisely because Hyōjin won this huge reputation for the Hyuga Clan with his own strength that Hiashi, Richa, and other Hyuga clansmen are both happy and anxious at the same time.
Because the Hyuga Clan has become the recognized number one clan in the Shinobi World, they must constantly prove themselves in order to enjoy the praise and envy of the world, and winning the position of Naruto is undoubtedly the best proof!
At this time, Hiashi glanced at Tonato sitting beside him, and immediately sighed secretly, "What a pity!"
If Tonato, who has awakened the Tenseigan, can be allowed to run for the position of Yondaime-Sama, then the position of Yondaime-Sama would be much more stable. However, although Tonato is a blood relative of the Hyuga Clan, he is not from the Hyuga Clan, after all, so he is not qualified to run for the position of Naruto.
Thinking of this, Hiashi's expression suddenly changed, and he asked Tonato, "Tonato, what do you think of Hinata?"
Tonato was slightly startled, and a puzzled look appeared on his face, "What do you mean?"
Hiashi said with a smile, "I have now regarded you as a member of our Hyuga Clan. In our Hyuga Clan, intermarriage is very common, so you can try to get familiar with Hinata."
Tonato, who was a little surprised, pondered for a moment, and then nodded.
Now that he is the only one left of the Otsutsuki Clan on the moon, not to mention reviving the clan, even if it is purely for the sake of reproduction, finding a Hyuga clansman of the same origin and race as his wife is undoubtedly the best choice for Tonato.
Seeing Tonato nodding, Hiashi was very happy, and immediately turned to Richa on the side and said, "Ningci should also hurry up, Xiang Lin is a good choice, don't miss it!"
Richa immediately glanced at the figure standing behind Hyōjin on the rostrum, and replied, "Well, I will remind Ningci!"
Because Nagato accidentally awakened the Cleansing Eye after transplanting the Byakugan, the Hyuga Clan suddenly realized that the combination of the Hyuga Bloodline and the Uzumaki Bloodline will have an unexpected effect.
And Nagato has completely died because of the One Style Reincarnation, and now there are only two Uzumaki clansmen left in the village, Naruto and Xiang Lin, so as a Uzumaki clansman, Xiang Lin, who has a pair of Rinnegan, is naturally targeted by Hiashi.
Hiashi continued, "Even if Itachi Uchiha is elected as the Sixth Generation, according to the current situation, he will only be Naruto for about ten years at most. After ten years, the competition for the Seventh Generation will begin, and at that time, Ningci will be twenty-four or twenty-five years old, which is the golden age for the competition for the Seventh Generation. Whether we can regain the position of Naruto or not depends on him!"
Richa nodded heavily, "I understand, we are now the number one family in the Shinobi world, we can't afford to lose the position of Naruto twice in a row!"
This time, it can be said that Sage Hyōjin deliberately gave up the position of Naruto, but if the Hyuga Clan can't come up with a decent candidate for the Seventh Generation, then it will be a very serious blow to the reputation of the Hyuga Clan.
Just when Hiashi and Richa were planning the future of the Hyuga Clan to compete for the position of Naruto, there was a new change in the field.
Itachi didn't know if it was because of a moment of carelessness, but in the fierce battle, he was caught by the Ape Demon Arm that stretched out from the Golden Staff in Asma's hand.
"Got it!"
Asma was overjoyed, in the face of this heaven-sent opportunity, he no longer cared about the previous strategy of maintaining long-range contact, and directly rushed towards Itachi.
In the stands.
Zhuan Xiao Chun's face lit up with joy, "Good opportunity!"
On the side, Three Generations frowned, the surprise attack of the Ape Demon just now was indeed just right, but for some reason, he always faintly felt that something was wrong.
Seeing Three Generations frowning, Zhuan Xiao Chun said, "What's wrong, are you worried that the Ape Demon caught the Shadow Clone? Impossible, with the experience of the Ape Demon, how could it not distinguish the Shadow Clone! "
Three Generations still didn't say anything, of course, he knew that the strength of the Ape Demon is far beyond that of an ordinary ninja, if the Shadow Clone was caught by it, then it would immediately disappear.
In Itachi's lounge.
Seeing his brother Itachi's neck being caught by the arm that stretched out from the Golden Staff, Sasuke was shocked and blurted out, "Brother, quickly use Susanoo!"
At this time, Zhishui pressed one hand on Sasuke's shoulder, and Fuyue, who was next to him with his arms crossed, directly scolded, "Sasuke, don't shout!"
Sasuke looked nervous, "But brother, he …"
Shinichi suddenly asked, "Will you fall into this kind of trap?"
Sasuke quickly replied, "How could I fall into this kind of trap?"
"Yes!" After a pause, Shinichi said, "Even you can't fall into it, do you think your brother will fall into it? Have you forgotten the last time you gestured to the air for a long time? "
Sasuke suddenly blushed and said anxiously, "Brother Shinichi, you promised me not to mention that matter!"
Shinichi smiled and didn't say anything more. Instead, he stared at the field like Fuyue and Zhishui, because even he, who had the Mangekyou Sharingan, couldn't see whether Itachi, who was caught by the Demonic Ape, was a Shadow Clone or not.
Just when the spectators were in doubt, Asma quickly rushed in front of Itachi and attacked with the double blades of the Wind Chakra in his hands.
Ga ga ga …
But just when the shining Chakra blade in Asma's hand was about to hit Itachi, Itachi, who was caught by the Demonic Ape, suddenly turned into a large flock of flying ninja crows.
"This!?"
Asma, who missed, looked at the crow feathers flying all over the sky and froze on the spot.
The Demonic Ape, who had transformed into the Golden Staff, shouted, "Be careful!"
However, the Demonic Ape's warning was still half a beat too late. Asma, who was instinctively looking for Itachi's real body, looked straight at Itachi who was flying in the air. So, without any struggle, Asma fell into Itachi's illusion.
After dispelling the illusion, Asma asked Itachi in confusion, "What was caught by the Demonic Ape just now was just a Crow Clone?"
Itachi smiled and shook his head, "A Crow Clone can't confuse the Demonic Ape. What the Demonic Ape caught was indeed my real body."
"Then just now …"
The doubt on Asma's face became even more intense.
Itachi explained, "That was my newly developed 'Delayed Crow Substitute Technique'. After calculating the time, I first activated the substitute psychic, and then deliberately exposed a flaw to be caught by the Demonic Ape."
Asma was speechless, "What?! If I didn't fall for it, wouldn't you have worked hard for nothing, and the risk of being caught by the Demonic Ape is not small! "
Itachi smiled and said, "But Senior, you fell for it!"
Asma sighed, "I lost."
