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.
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.
