Chapter 30 - 30. Let Me Show You Something Big

◉◉◉◉◉

A strand of long hair drifted down.

Neji's eyes lit up. In a flash, his body vanished from view.

He moved with light, quick footwork his steps slick as if greased, slipping and gliding with an almost moonwalk-like illusion. The movement was so visually deceptive that Izumi paused in confusion.

Neji grinned inwardly. Welcome to the Drift League. Time to dance.

"Huh...?"

Izumi instinctively held back, cautious and observant.

It looked like he was moving forward, but he was sliding backward. This was new.

"You just missed your only real chance to beat me, Izumi."

Neji stood calmly on the soft floating island, the clouds beneath his feet sinking slightly under his weight.

Watching Izumi's astonished expression, he chuckled lightly.

"Activate your Sharingan. Let's make this fun."

"Fun?" Izumi's expression darkened. They were sparring hard and he had the nerve to say it was all just for fun?

Her eyes shifted the black pupils morphing into crimson three-tomoe Sharingan, locking directly onto Neji.

"Then let's have fun, Neji-kun!"

'Oh? She even used honorifics guess she's pissed.'

Unfortunately, in the state of [Eight Gates], using ninjutsu was nearly impossible.

But with her Sharingan fully activated, Izumi's speed and strength surged. That powerful dynamic vision gave her the edge she needed to keep up.

"Just what I wanted!"

To Neji, she was practically a walking experience boost, And the "experience pack" she carried was big.

He couldn't say for sure. But as he struck with a palm thrust, the sensation was satisfying.

Izumi was hit squarely in the chest, briefly losing her breath as a strange chakra tried to invade only to be blown away by her surging energy.

"Hmph! Gentle Fist?"

That's it?

Her Sharingan spun rapidly, tracking Neji's footwork. That slick, deceptive drift was tricky at first, but once she caught the rhythm, she could predict it.

[Soru]

The floating cloud beneath her feet exploded as Izumi burst forward, anticipating Neji's next landing spot.

Neji, already watching her movements closely with his Observation Haki, sensed danger but her explosive acceleration still caught him off guard.

'Guess I can't use that drift move for too long. Better to mix it in and catch them by surprise.'

"Nice one!"

Neji praised her with a grin as a different kind of energy flowed through him one distinct from chakra.

Boom!

Izumi's palm struck, but her eyes widened. Neji was right there... yet completely untouchable.

Her hand had hit a glowing orange circular barrier solid, unyielding, and impossible to break through with brute force.

[Chakra Barrier]

Neji thought to himself, First time using this move. Still don't know its true limits.

But if it could hold off Izumi in her Gate-opened state, that was good enough.

"Izumi, want to see if you can break it?"

"If not... you'll never lay a hand on me."

Izumi snorted in response and suddenly launched a flurry of strikes.

Her hands blurred, transforming into a storm of blows that rained down on the barrier.

Gentle Fist fused with [Shigan] from the Six Powers made her strikes even deadlier.

Fractures spread.

Neji watched carefully as cracks formed.

'That's all the durability it's got for now. Not bad...'

Izumi, however, mistakenly assumed Neji had to stand still to maintain the barrier.

Crack!

A strange breaking sound echoed out. Izumi's eyes narrowed. Her hands shifted into a bladed chop, aimed straight at the fracture point.

"Break!"

Her hand struck and the orange barrier shattered with a thunderous crash. Shards and chakra fragments wrapped around her as she charged through, straight at Neji.

But he didn't move.

That instantly raised her suspicions. Something was off.

The moment her hand made contact sparks crackled across his face.

BOOM!

[Phantom Decoy: Explosion]

The Neji in front of her exploded into lightning.

Izumi sensed it just in time, crossing her arms to shield herself as the blast flung her backward.

She skidded across the floating cloud, a trail left behind. Electric arcs danced across her body, leaving her a bit roughed up. But her surging chakra quickly dispersed the lingering energy.

[Healing Tattoo] kicked in, mending the minor injuries.

Lowering her hands, her crimson Sharingan scanned the surroundings.

When did he use a clone? And how can he still use ninjutsu?

Isn't the Eight Gates supposed to block chakra usage? Isn't this cheating?

Despite her internal complaints, the fight was far from over. Izumi was still eager to win.

"No need to wonder. I'm not like the rest of you."

The voice came from behind her.

Izumi's heart sank. Crap!

A massive sense of danger surged through her. Without looking back, she lunged forward.

[Thunder Step]

Neji descended like a god of thunder, lightning wrapped around his legs as he struck down.

BOOM!

Thunder roared. Snakes of lightning snaked outward as the impact scattered the cloud below.

Izumi, lying face down on the cloud, glanced behind her in shock. 'Good thing I didn't turn around...'

Neji looked down at her. "Let me show you two more moves."

He focused, and his internal energy flowed.

[Psychic Orbit]

Three glowing orbs emerged from within, spinning around him like moons orbiting a planet. They served as both shields and weapons.

As Izumi blinked in confusion, Neji warned, "Not planning to dodge?"

Startled, she flipped up immediately.

But instead of retreating, she charged forward.

A flicker of admiration passed through Neji's eyes.

Still...

Muda da. (It's useless.)

[Assault]

The three orbs shot toward her like homing missiles reminiscent of Yamcha's Spirit Ball.

They harassed and boxed her in, forcing her to halt and evade.

She didn't dare counterattack. Who knew how powerful these were? They could explode.

And Neji? He'd definitely blow her up. No hesitation.

"It's over, Izumi!"

Neji brought his hands together at his waist. Energy swirled into a glowing sphere.

[Charged Chakra Blast]

After a moment of buildup, it launched forward like a diamond-shaped comet, devouring everything in its path.

Izumi was swallowed in its wake.

Clouds vaporized. Scorch marks littered the surface of her position.

The experience gained from that hit?

Massive.

Neji approached the fallen Izumi. A soft green light glowed in his hand [Healing Technique] as he pressed it against her.

"I didn't charge it too much. Just enough to knock you out."

Still recovering, Izumi shot him a glare.

Sure enough, every sparring match ended with her flat on her back, tingling and paralyzed.
