19 Relentless Barrage

{Neji Hyuga POV}

Lee's speed is something amazing, one moment was behind me and the next he is axe kicking the farthest enemy, I refuse to be left behind, Guy-Sensei was distracted by a punch to the face, leaving him open for a sword slash, their coordination is something to be amazed, but they weren't ready for us, I rushed to the one holding the sword, Blocking the Tenketsu point on his right leg, before he could take a step, I stopped his movement, with the Byakugan I saw Lee exchanging blows, Kenji threw a senbon, good, one hostile each, we have enough space to fight undisrupted.

The Byakugan gave me an edge in this fight, I can see how his muscles tense and his Chakra flares before he moves, right kick, left jab, right swing, reverse swing, left jab, left kick, jump, It was easy to read his movements, but dodging was a different thing, he was faster, taller and had a sword, I need to wait for an opening, his Chakra flared this time was different, Ninjutsu, he swung his sword, horizontally aiming for my neck, he missed, but a wind blade followed me, I had no other choice, I released Chakra from my Tenketsu points and spun around, I was barely able to dissipate the attack, still lacking power and precision, need more practice.

Defense is not working, I will make a mistake at some point or tire myself before I'm able to land a hit, time for some offensive, the missing-nin slashed from above, this was my moment, half a step to the left, I modified my stance, "Eight Trigrams: Sixteen Palms" I hit two of the Tenketsu points located in his hand, he let go of the sword, "Four", forearm, elbow "Eight" shoulder, neck, temple, chest, "Sixteen" liver, kidney, I wanted to keep going, but my flow ended, this was my current limit ten palms, at this rhythm I'll never escape the shackles the main branch imposed me.

Kenji is just standing there, they haven't moved at all for a while, he managed to put him in a Genjutsu, but I don't see Chakra moving from him to his opponent brain, then how does his Genjutsu work? He is saying something, the Chakra of the hostile is moving trying to break the Genjutsu, there doesn't seem to be an effect, it seems to have the opposite effect, there are wounds on the missing-nin, similar to the ones left by senbons, but no weapon was used, he is running away in fear, didn't make it far, he fell death, his body is full of holes, how was Kenji capable of doing that? No signs of Ninjutsu nor actual senbons, Kenji truly is a monster, his fate is fascinating.

Even with multiple Tenketsu points blocked, the missing-nin proved to be a formidable opponent, he managed to connect a few times, he is not only faster he is stronger, when he realized that Taijutsu won't work, he changed to Ninjutsu, his wind blades are too fast for me to dodge, and too many to block, I'm at the defensive again, can't come closer, I hate to admit it, but I need help.

"NEJI DUCK!" I ducked by instinct, after hearing my name, from a familiar voice, a kunai flew by my head, it had a paper bomb, exploiting right in the missing-nin face, he managed to dismiss most of the damage by making a wall of air with his Chakra, but it was long enough for me to get offensive again, "Eight Trigrams: Sixteen Palms" I rushed towards the stunned missing-nin, "Two" left hand "Four" forearm, elbow "Eight" shoulder, neck, temple, forehead, Kenji joined the attack, I thought he was going to interrupt me, but instead he hit the same places I did, his form was terrible, I used precision, and he just used his fist trying to mimic my movements, while I was able to hit every single Tenketsu point, he was just hitting the muscles, is not something a random ninja can do, this is the Hyuga specialty, not even a monster like you can bend fate this much.

"Sixteen" chest, heart, this was my current limit, but I can't let this opportunity go to waste, but my fate won't allow me to do it, no matter how much I want it fate won't let me have it, I noticed something strange, the places Kenji was hitting, he didn't manage to hit a single Tenketsu point, but the effect of his attacks were strange, I blocked the Tenketsu point making the Chakra unable to flow properly, but until a moment ago, there was still Chakra, the places that Kenji hit didn't have Chakra anymore, the Tenketsu point weren't blocked anymore they were damaged, like if they were decaying, no that's not it, is more like being disintegrated.

HOW? WHY? WHAT KIND OF MONSTER IS HE?! He wasn't putting Chakra on his punches, he wasn't hitting the Tenketsu points, then why is this happening, the cells around the places he hits are dying, disintegrating as soon as he hit them, he didn't bend fate, he wasn't limited by it, he was making his own fate, I was wrong, fate isn't something that shackle us, we make our own shackles, we limit ourselves, if h was able to do something impossible, then I can do it as well.

"AAAAAAAAAAAH" I shouted, kidney, waist, crotch, leg, knee, stomach, more I can do more, "THIRTY-TWO" I forced my body to move, I don't even know what I was hitting anymore, it was pure instinct, I not only surpassed my limits, I will surpass the fate they wanted to impose on me, I will make my own fate, I won't be shackled anymore.

"Continuously at the heart of the attack" Kenji said something while he was trying to keep up with me, the effects of our combined attacks were starting to show, he was dying from the inside out, mostly due to Kenji's weird punches, something he never showed us before, we synchronized for the last hit, the missing-nin was death.

"The furious Storm that never rests" was the last thing Kenji said, was he talking about me? Was he talking about himself? The disintegration effect was stronger now, I understand now, it was some kind of trigger, maybe I can learn it as well, I will ask him about it later.
