Chapter 30: Chapter 030: Chakra Pathways
The Hyuga clan's Gentle Fist was a very strong taijutsu-style. By using the Byakugan's clairvoyant ability, it could exert its formidable power. It could be inject into the chakra pathways of the opponent, and cause internal injuries to the enemy.
Because internal organs could not be strengthened, no matter how strong a ninja is, once they were injured by the Gentle Fist, it is often fatal.
Some powerful Gentle Fist experts could even break the chakra circulation of the opponent and block away the chakra of the opponent completely.
Hyuga clan's Gentle Fist taijutsu-style is well-known in the ninja world. It was also the first time that the sand Jonin had entered combat against someone from the Hyuga clan. He was very cautious in his attacks, apparently afraid of being hurt by the Gentle Fist and suffering a shameful defeat in the hands of these children.
But a Jonin is a Jonin, after all, his strength and experience were still there, something that Keita lacked. After a few rounds of combat, the sand Jonin saw through Keita's ability and regained the upper hand.
"Is this the Hyuga clan's Gentle Fist? I don't think it's a big deal!"
He laughed, and then began to make hand seals with both hands.
[Wind Style ∙ Air Bullets]
If Keita used [Eight Trigrams Palms Revolving Heaven], he might be able to resist this move. But [Revolving Heaven] was a secret jutsu, which was passed on in the main house from generation to generation. The people at branch house have no opportunity to learn it at all.
In the anime, in Hyuga branch house, only Neji mastered this jutsu with his innate talent.
However, Keita was not Neji. He does not have the talent that Neji had, so he could not stop enemy's attack.
Instantly, hundreds of small wind bullets were sent out from the Jonin's mouth. Keita could only dodge and fall in a very difficult situation. He didn't know how many wounds were already opened on his body by the wind bullets, and blood was everywhere.
One had to admit that Hyuga clan's house-system was really cruel. In addition to making it impossible for the people in branch house to learn a lot of their secret techniques, the people in the main house also uses the curse-seal power of [Caged Bird] to control the people of the branch house to die for them.
"Chakra! I need a little more chakra!"
Asahi growled.
In all fairness, Asahi and Keita have been teaming on for missions for two years. After Asahi just graduated, he was struggling with Keita and Shinohara at the bottom of the ninja world.
For the two of them, Asahi had a deep affection and would not allow anything to happen to them, so Asahi would never allow Keita to die in front of him.
*Shou*

*Shou*
Six shuriken shot from the woods and flew over to the sand Jonin from both the left and right sides.
It was Shinohara who launched the attack.
However, how could an attack of this level hurt a Jonin? He only used a simple [Substitution Jutsu]. With no difficulty, Shinohara's attack failed.
"Arghh!"
Follow closely from behind was a scream and Shinohara flew out of the woods. A wound on his left shoulder kept bleeding. Apparently, the sand Jonin found his hiding place and he was almost killed.
Shinohara indeed had an anxious temper. When he saw that Keita was completely being suppressed by the enemy, he couldn't help but launch an attack. As a result, not only did he was unable to hurt the enemy, but he himself got injured.
If Shinohara could have stayed hidden without revealing his position, although he wouldn't be able support Keita, he could bring a layer of psychological pressure to the enemy, which was far better than appearing to save Keita.
He should have been waiting to attack until the most critical moment, giving the enemy a fatal blow.
But now, all three of them were wounded, and the enemy was a Jonin, they had almost no hope.
"Asahi, Keiai, are you okay?!" Shinohara called.
"Shinohara! Go and see how Asahi's injury is!" Keita said aloud.
"Understood!" Shinohara also knew that his strength wouldn't help at all, so he got up from the ground and ran towards Asahi.
But Asahi understood what Keita actually meant, it was a chance for him to make a shot.
Asahi smiled bitterly in his heart, he still had strength for one attack, the chakra within his body had bottomed out, and it was impossible to use any ninjutsu.
With Keita and him glancing at each other, he saw the Hyuga lightly nodding to him, Asahi breathed out, calming himself down.
Maybe this would be their last chance to defeat the enemy, regardless of success or failure...
[Chakra Scalpel]
Condensing the weak chakra inside his body on his hand to form a chakra knife, Asahi quietly waited for the sand Jonin's attack.
[Chakra Scalpel] was an attack method for medical-nin, which could cut the target without causing strong trauma, and could be stretched by the user. However, with Asahi's current chakra reserves, it's necessary to directly touch the enemy with his hand to be able to cause damage to the enemy.
"Go to hell!"
Sure enough, with Shinohara running towards Asahi, in the enemy's eyes, Keita was left with no support. How could the enemy Jonin miss such a good opportunity, in his opinion, this Hyuga was his biggest threat.
Just as the Jonin moved, Asahi also moved.
He rushed towards Keita with all the strength left in his body. Asahi now only hoped that he could at least touch that sand Jonin, if he does, he might be able to score the victory of this battle.
The Jonin's speed was very fast, almost with a flash, he was already in front of Keita, and then threw a whip leg towards him.
"Aren't you too late?"
After he kicked Keita, the Jonin smirked and turned his head, looking towards the moving Asahi who was rushing over, and then confronted him.
"Damn it! Come on, let's fight!"
Asahi said ruthlessly, and directly rushed forward without fear.
'Is this where everything is going to end? Is this my destiny?'
Just when Asahi and the Jonin were about to collide, he suddenly noticed that the sand Jonin's figure had stopped, his face showed a crazy, sloppy, and desperate expression, and his whole body was trembling and he seemed to struggle.
Asahi had never seen such a wonderful expression. His weak body actually found some strength to speed up again. The [Chakra Scalpel] on his hand also slightly stretched a bit, and he pressed it heavily on the chest of the Jonin.
"He's not a clone!"
Feeling the contact with the enemy's flesh, Asahi knew that the sand Jonin in front of him was not a clone.
'What on earth is this then?'
"This... what is this... what happened?" The enemy Jonin said with great difficulty.
His lungs had been severed, and it's painful for him to even to say a word now.
"Go to hell already!"
Keita struggled to stand up and walked towards the Jonin, and with a kunai in his hand he stabbed the Jonin's neck.
Then Keita explained, "When he was engaged in taijutsu with me, I had already attacked and weakened many of his chakra pathways in upper and lower portion of his whole body, and at the end I finally managed to block the chakra circulation of his whole body completely."
'Amazing...'
Hearing Keita's words, Asahi felt joy deep in his heart. Suddenly, his brain felt a strong dizziness, and he just fell straight to the ground and lost consciousness.
