Chunin exam started:
Naruto vs Rock Lee:
Sasuke vs Shikamaru
Gaara vs Shino:
Clark vs Neji:
Clark really not sure what to do. Should he fight head on . Clark knew Neji is strong, strongest in his own way of taijutsu .
Neji is looking at Clark. He would have fought him before but he fought Rock Lee instead but he lost.
Neji still can't believe he lost against person who doesn't know any ninjutsu or genjutsu.
These two months, he trained harder than ever before.
He underestimated Naruto and Rock Lee, but he can't do it with Clark.
He has seen how Clark fought and won before.
Neji thought he should be careful.
Neji concentrated on his chakra said byakugan.
Neji can see Clark's chakra network as usual it's nothing like others.
His chakra is bright and almost covered his entire body like thick skin tight suit .
Clark already wearing skin tight suit, his chakra is covering his clothes too.
Neji moved forward with blinding speed, aiming at Clark's chakra point at heart.
For his surprise, Clark hand just brushed away Neji hand.
Neji didn't expected Clark to react this fast but he is ready for it .
Neji hands moved too fast , aiming at Clark chakra points but for Neji's frustration, not single strike connected to Clark.
Neji immediately jumped back, took Hyuga clan stance .
Clark knew what he is going to do. 8 tiagrams, 64 palms.
Neji connected every strike against Clark's chakra points.
Neji , with triampht smile, stood back.
Everyone is looking at Clark with surprise.
Clark took step back, leaving his clone in front of him.
Neji can't believe it's his clone he attacked. How Neji not able to notice, he didn't understand.
Clark knew he can avoid Neji attack but he didn't want to show his speed that's why he created chakra clone, moved parallel to clone so Neji won't notice it's his clone he attacked.
This chakra clone is technique he learned from Jor-el.
Normal clone doesn't have physical body, shadow clone will disappear if it got hurt but this clone is perfect copy of Clark, filled with his chakra , acts as himself but weaker version.
That's why even after all his chakra points got struck, Clark's clone stood still.
Clark simply closed his eyes, his clone disappeared in puff of white smoke , making the clone look like shadow clone to others.
Neji is little tired because of lost of chakra.
Clark knew he has to handle this delicately. Clark opened one slot in his belt, retrieving scroll.
Next moment, he started throwing small two inch shurikens one after one against Neji, making him jump after jump.
When Neji thought he can relax, suddenly all the shurikens raised from ground, with help of Clark chakra from hand, while Clark is controlling them.
Neji doesn't have choice, he released chakra from all his chakra points, creating globe of revolving heaven.
All the shurikens clashed against, recocheted .
" Did you train him Guy? " Kakashi asked.
Guy shook his head, " I haven't seen him in last two months. " Guy replied.
" He is not showing his speed but he is lot faster than we can see. "
Guy looked Kakashi, he is using sharingan.
Guy knew it's serious if he is using sharingan to look at fight.
" How fast he is? " Guy asked.
" I can't tell but i can tell he is lot faster than what he is showing . " Kakashi said.
" How do you know? " Guy asked.
" I can see his chakra around his body, the brightness of his chakra not at all decreased . That means he is not fighting full power . " Kakashi explained.
" So he somehow trained himself to increase stamina. " Guy guessed. " I can tell why he is not using his speed much. He mostly fighting with kunais. That won't need much chakra. Isn't it? "
" May be " Kakashi said , watching the fight. " Honestly it's boring to watch him fight like this . People came here to watch amazing jutsus ."
" I will talk with him about this . " Guy confirmed.
Clark heard them, knew it's going to happen but he doesn't have choice .
Clark knew he can't finish this fight quickly. Clark again released his chakra, controlling more than ten shurikens at him.
" Impressive. " Sakura said , seeing that .
" What's so impressive about that ? " Ino asked , not at all impressed with Clark display . " He always throwing kunais at Neji . "
" It's like puppet master jutsu but little bit different but he is moving them with such speed, Neji has no choice but to counter using his chakra circle . But those shurikens are not breaking for some reason " Sakura explained. " That much speed need serious talent . "
" I don't know ." Ino ignored ." Compared to Neji wonderful ninjutsu, it's so lame . "
" Come on. The moment Neji stops , Clark's attack will win. "
Neji released chakra from hands, trying to knock out all of them but no matter how many times, Neji did it, those are not stopped attacking him.
Problem here is Clark is doing long range fight while Neji is short range fighter.
Neji know if he has to beat Clark, he need to overcome the distance. But Clark is exceptional in controlling these shurikens. Neji never know Clark is this talented.
Neji used his byakugan, Clark's chakra is as bright as before.
" Okay then. " Neji took deep breath, jumped far away from all the shurikens.
Neji knew all he can do is to use to attack Clark in close range .
Clark actually wanted to see what Neji will do so he just pulled all his shurikens into scroll.
Within moment, Neji is in front of Clark. Clark raised his hands, started fighting. Clark has to say Neji is more determined and more concentrated to defeat him.
Clark didn't land single punch intentionally, just avoiding him.
Neji quickly realised, it's useless.
" Three triagram, 128 palms . "
Clark actually expected this and ready for him.
Clark moved so fluidly, almost like he is flying in air, moving his body just exact amount to avoid Neji palms.
" Where did he train to move like that? " Kakashi asked.
" He told he is training himself. " Guy said. " Truthfully I thought he is slacker , always giving excuses to skip training. "
" No. It's something else . " Kakashi confirmed.
When Neji finished, Clark jumped back.
Everyone can tell Neji is tired too much.
Clark again opened scroll, summoning same shurikens many after many, threw with his chakra.
Neji is slower now, his shurikens would have wounded him if it's not for Clark .
Clark knew Neji can't keep up with him, he retracted his weapons to scroll.
Neji is taking deep breaths but raised his hands. Neji knew he can't use any of heavy jutsus because of limited chakra.
And Neji can sense Clark is very careful not to hurt.
" How Clark? " Neji asked.
Clark raised his hands, " I am sorry Neji. I have my secrets , similar to your Hyuga clan . Please understand "
Neji nodded and attacked.
No ninjutsu, it's pure taijutsu, fists against fist .
Neji is fast by his pure will but Clark is not even hit by single punch.
Clark is just waited until Neji is slipping, he gave necessary punch against his jaw to knock him out .
