Chapter 36:

Akira and Sora stood on both sides and the battle was about to start.

A slight disdainful smile appeared on the corner of Sora's mouth, as if he had already determined that Akira couldn't beat him.

Akira curled his lips in contempt, wondering where this guy confidence came from. Some people in the Hyuga clan are really arrogant, I wonder how Hinata, who is such a gentle and kind girl born in such a Hyuga clan.

Several thoughts flashed in Akira's heart, but at this moment, the opposite Sora moved.

Sora roared and said: "Byakugan!"

With byakugan activated, Sora made a Hyuga's signature gentle fist stance with both hands, looking very imposing. Akira didn't expect Sora to be actually very strong, but thinking about it, how can he enter the anbu without any strength.

"Eight trigram, sixty-four palms!" Sora yelled and rushed towards Akira. There seemed to be a faint eight trigram array around Sora and Akira is in the eight trigram array and within Sora attacking range.

Sora rushed out and attacked with gentle first towards Akira's body, one blow after another, attacking Akira's body rapidly.

"Two palms, four palms, eight palms, sixteen palms, thirty-two palms, sixty-four palms!" Sora's attack was like the gust of wind and rain. Non stop chain of attack heading towards Akira and it seem like Akira will not be able to handle Sora flurry of attack.

The continuous intensive attack was extremely powerful and it turned up a gust of wind in the air, as if it going to tear Akira apart.

There was a sneer at the corner of Sora's mouth and he snorted triumphantly: "Uchiha how does my Hyuga's gentle fist feel? After being hit by my gentle fist, your chakra will be sealed, you have no chance at all. You lose already!"

Sora is very proud of his eight trigram, sixty-four palm. This is a secret taijutsu of the Hyuga clan's main house, traditionally only known by the head of the clan and the clan's heir. Neji Hyuga, a member of a branch house, was able to learn this technique through mere observation, a testament to his genius. Using their Byakugan's near-360° field of vision, the Hyuga envisions themselves within the centre of an Eight Trigrams symbol. The user then delivers a series of attacks to a target that is within the symbol's perimeter, striking sixty-four of their tenketsu. Those sixty-four tenketsu are subsequently blocked, stopping the flow of chakra within the target's body and making it difficult for them to move.

This is also a taijutsu that the Hyuga clan is proud of.

"Really?" Akira looked at Sora and shook his head: "You didn't even touch the corner of my clothe just now. You are too naive in thinking that you can hit me this easily?"

"What, impossible, I have clearly hit you…" Sora was taken aback.

Caw, caw, caw.

As soon as his voice fell, Akira's figure turned into countless crows and dispersed.

Sora was shocked and said: "Genjutsu! When…"

That's right, what Sora just hit was Akira's genjutsu. As Akira said, from beginning to end, he didn't even touch the corner of Akira's clothes!

"I thought Hyuga clan claimed that their bykaugan have the best insight ability? What a great disappointment, you can't even distinguish between illusion and reality." The crows gathered, Akira's figure appeared on the other side with his three tomoe sharingan activated, looking mysterious and eye catching with its glaringly red eyes.

When Konoha white fang saw Akira's sharingan, he was slightly surprised: "It turned out to be three tomoe sharingan! This young man, has unlocked three tomoe sharingan so quickly!?"

"Three tomoe sharingan…Akira has become stronger again!" Minato also didn't know about Akira awakening three tomoe sharingan. Now he was surprised to see Akira with the matured sharingan and felt pressured by his growth in strength.

The other anbu members were also in a commotion, clearly very surprised. They originally thought that the result of this competition had already been decided, that Akira would definitely not be able to win against Sora. ( Three tomoe sharingan is a big deal because it is the strongest form for most Uchiha, only few very talented uchiha ever evolve their sharingan into mangekyo sharingan. Even then when the unlocked mangekyo sharingan, they rarely use it and it is a trump card to use as it can affect the user eye sight. Therefore not much information was known about this mangekyo sharingan in the public)

But now it looks like the situation is completely opposite.

Akira is really strong! Is this really a nine-year-old boy? The displayed strength is too terrifying…

"Three tomoe sharingan!" Sora was also taken aback, knowing that he had encountered a tough challenge. Akira has actually awakened three tomoe sharingan, no wonder he can kill jounin!

The Anbu members around seeing this scene, already recognise Akira's strength and feels that Akira is capable of being an Anbu member, no longer doubting the fact that he can kill jounin. Three tomoe sharingan, even in the Uchiha clan, the people who awaken three tomoe sharingan are only a hand few, let alone Akira who is currently only nine years old!

"It's my turn to attack." Akira said lightly, and began to hand seal.

"Fire style, phoenix flower shurikens jutsu!"

Akira unleashes a volley of shuriken with one hand, and at the same time, exhales fire-infused chakra onto them in order to increase the weapons' destructive potential by making them capable of inflicting severe burns upon direct contact with either the intended victim, or any other object caught within their trajectories.

Due to the chakra-based nature of the flames that surround them, the shuriken will continue to burn after impact, regardless of the flammability of the object that they ultimately collide with.

Akira's during this period have been training intensely. He practiced ninjutsu and genjutsu every day and make great improvement. In particular he had practice fire style phoenix flower shuriken jutsu until he is very familiarize with it.

The shurikens together with fire chakra and chakras string are tied on the shuriken. With Akira's superb shurikenjutsu fully utilized, the shurikens flew into different directions and directly locking onto Sora.

Sora was surprised and quickly defended: "Eight trigram, palm rotation/kaiten!"

Eight trigram, palm rotation is a secret taijutsu of the Hyuga clan. The moment before the Hyuga is struck by an attack, they emit chakra from all of their body's tenketsu to block it. They then spin rapidly, repelling the attack (and anything else in the vicinity) away and creating a protective shield for as long as they continue to spin. The greater the force of an attack, the greater the force with which it's repelled. which can rebound all physical attacks. The strong strong defense from the rotation and their extremely strong observation ability of the byakugan, has make it become an "absolute defense". Eight trigram, kaiten is meant to compensate for the blind spot of the Hyuga's Byakugan.

Sora used eight trigram, kaiten to defend against Akira fire style, phoenix flower shuriken jutsu. He was a little relieved that he managed to defend front he volley of flame shurikens, but cold sweat still broke out on his forehead. He never thought that Akira will be so powerful. Sora had a faint feeling of pressure from Akira as if Akira can see through every move he made.

This made Sora had a bad feeling in his heart.

"Your use of kaiten is not bad." Akida praised, Hyuga clan taijutsu are indeed unique and Sora is even a bit stronger than the Same jounin, Takeo. If Akira hadn't awakened three tomoe sharingan, he might be struggling with this difficult fight.

But now…

Akira squinted his eyes and began to prepare another genjutsu.

"I have created a self made genjutsu, but I haven't had the chance to used it yet. Why don't i try it on Sora." Akira whispered to himself.
