After returning to the spectators' area, Karin imdiately ran to Aoba with an aggrieved face, "Aoba-nii, I lost."
Seeing this, Hinata only let out a sigh.
She was already used to it. Whenever sothing happened, Karin would always go and act spoiled toward Aoba.
'Aoba-kun really spoils Karin too much… though to be fair, he spolis others as well.'
'But this ti, it feels slightly different…'
"You know that you lost?", Aoba spoke with a stern face.
"Eh?", Karin lifted her head, a little dumbfounded.
Why does the script feel different from what she imagined.
Aoba continued, "Since you lost, then you need to properly look for the reason yourself."
"Aoba-nii…", Karin still had a confused look on her face.
Aoba felt that maybe he had spoiled Karin so much that she'd gotten stupid.
"You rely too much on Adamantine Sealing Chains. After the exam is over, I'll find so ninjutsu for you to learn. If you can't learn them, just wait and see."
"Okay… okay," Seeing Aoba's stern expression, Karin didn't dare act spoiled and could only nod pitifully.
The other girls, seeing Karin get put in her place, couldn't help but laugh quietly.
At this mont Yakumo looked at Sakura, "Sakura, it's almost our turn."
"Mm," Sakura nodded.
When Shiranui Genma announced the next match, Sakura and Yakumo went onto the arena at the sa ti.
"Sakura, your taijutsu attacks have no effect on at all," Once the match began, Yakumo said to Sakura.
She had already booked her spot in the final; in her eyes, Sakura who only knew taijutsu wasn't even her opponent.
"But I don't only know taijutsu," Sakura answered with a smile.
Her goal was also the final, and even the championship.
"Huh?", Yakumo was puzzled, 'Could it be that Sakura have so other attack thods?'
At this mont Sakura was already rushing straight toward her.
With fists clenched, she launched a punch at Yakumo.
Yakumo felt even more puzzled. She didn't understand what Sakura was trying to do.
'Doesn't Sakura know that I use genjutsu?'
Yakumo directly cast a genjutsu and, to be safe, even stepped back two paces.
Sakura's movent toward her froze imdiately.
Her erald-green pupils beca extrely empty.
She looked exactly like soone who had fallen into a genjutsu.
'Hmph, and here I thought Sakura had so kind of trump card,' Yakumo let out a sigh of relief and wiped the non-existent sweat from her forehead.
But right at this mont, Inner Sakura, who had a five-A stat panel, made her move.
Inner Sakura instantly appeared in front of Yakumo and punched straight toward her face.
Yakumo only instinctively felt a sense of danger. It was as if a blurry illusionary figure in front of her raised its fist.
She subconsciously raised her hand to block, but Inner Sakura's fist struck Yakumo's soul.
"Ah!", Yakumo let out a cry of surprise, feeling like her brain had been poked with a needle.
She instinctively held her head with her hands.
Inner Sakura was slightly startled, 'Normally, an ordinary person would have fainted from that punch.'
'Why did Yakumo only have a headache?'
But she quickly ca back to her senses.
She instantly burrowed back into Sakura, took control of Sakura's body, and punched Yakumo.
"Eh?"
Yakumo didn't have ti to react, 'Isn't Sakura's consciousness still trapped in my genjutsu world?'
And then she lost consciousness.
"?", The site fell into silence.
The spectators didn't understand how Yakumo lost just like that.
It really was a very bizarre match.
Sakura carried Yakumo to Aoba, her expression a little embarrassed, "Sorry Aoba-kun, I think I hit a bit too hard."
"It's normal, fists and feet have no eyes. Besides, I already said, no matter what wounds you girls get, I can heal them."
"You did very well," Aoba received Yakumo and praised Sakura with a smile.
He naturally understood. If Inner Sakura's punch hadn't taken out Yakumo in one shot, once Yakumo reacted, Sakura would have no chance of winning.
"Mm," Receiving Aoba's praise, Sakura's face returned to a smile.
But at this mont, the other girls could no longer suppress their curiosity.
Earlier, breaking Ino's Mind Transfer jutsu had only surprised them; later interrupting Temari's summoning technique made them curious.
But now she had even broken Yakumo's genjutsu, this was simply unbelievable.
"Sakura, what was that just now?", Tenten and the others couldn't help but ask eagerly.
But Sakura shook her head and apologized, "Sorry, after the final is over, I'll explain it to everyone."
Upon hearing this, the girls quieted down again. They also understood that the next match was the final.
If she revealed her secrets now, it would definitely affect things.
But their mood wasn't affected; instead they began thinking about where to celebrate after the exam ended.
Anyway, no matter who won, it would still be their sister.
"If you're awake, you can get off already," Listening to the girls chat, Aoba suddenly said to the Yakumo in his arms.
"Nope," Yakumo hugged tighter, muffling her voice, "I already lost… can't you comfort a little?"
"You only lost on information, not because your strength is inferior to Sakura," Aoba said gently.
"But losing is still losing," Yakumo's voice carried a bit of a sob. Out of everyone, she cared about this championship the most.
Aoba couldn't help sighing, "Lift your head."
"Huh?"
Yakumo lifted her head blankly, and Aoba lowered his head as well.
No one knew how long they stayed close. Anyway, Hinata and Sakura were already standing on the arena.
"Hinata, do you rember our first spar back in the Ninja Academy?", Sakura suddenly asked Hinata.
Hinata was stunned for a mont, then nodded.
Sakura continued, "I lost that ti, but this ti I'm going to win it back."
"That won't be so easy," Hinata gave a light smile.
As Shiranui Genma's voice fell, the two girls imdiately charged toward each other.
Hinata's Gentle Fist was sothing she had learned since childhood and it fit perfectly with her Byakugan.
Sakura could only rely on a bit of fighting experience and react move by move, barely counterattacking.
BANG!
With a sound, Sakura was forced back several steps under Hinata's palm.
Just as she was adjusting her posture, Hinata appeared right in front of her and struck out with a palm.
Sakura quickly raised her hand to block, lifting her leg and kneeing toward Hinata's abdon.
Hinata instantly saw through Sakura's intention, dodged to the side, but her palm still struck toward Sakura.
Hinata sent Sakura flying with a palm.
Sakura flipped several tis in midair and landed, using taijutsu skills to divert the force.
The difference in their taijutsu was simply too big.
But this was only just beginning. In the next mont, the two were once again fighting together.
When the two were trading fists and kicks, this ti, Inner Sakura, who had stayed inside Sakura, also made a move, punching toward Hinata.
Just when Sakura thought she had gotten a hit, Hinata rely sidestepped.
Inner Sakura's fist brushed past her face.
"Eh?"
