....

With those words he began to relentlessly attack Naruto with a secret technique of the Hyuga clan.

"Two Palms!"

"Four Palms!"

"Eight Palms!"

"Sixteen Palms!"

"Thirty-Two Palms!"

"Sixty-Four Palms!"

Neji had succeeded in closing sixty-four of the chakra points all over Naruto's body. This would render him completely handicapped for the rest of the match, with the inability to mold chakra and hampering his movements. However after the final strike was delivered 'Naruto' burst into a flock of crows, surprising everyone in the room, even the Hokage. That particular technique was only known to one person in the world.

The real Naruto stepped out from behind the ice pillar that he had first hid behind and stood there taking in what Neji's technique had done. "Karasu Bunshin (Crow Clone), it's an incredibly useful technique. Completely unlike other types of bunshin, even the Kage Bunshin. That was an impressive technique, one that should only be known to a single child of the main house, after seeing it once I won't be caught up in it again."

Naruto walked forward a few feet until he was in front of the ice pillar. "I must thank that girl Haku for the change of scenery. Now I don't have to go through the trouble of doing it myself." Naruto formed a few hand seals, "Hyoton: Haryu Moko (Tearing Dragon Fierce Tiger)."

Every shinobi's eyes in the room went wide once more as they heard his words, even his own team, but especially Haku who was speechless at the moment.

The entire ice pillar behind Naruto turned into a giant tiger that rushed through the sky and towards Neji with such ferocity that it may have killed him if the jutsu hit. The mere creation of the massive beast caused the temperature in the room to drop several degrees. Haku could only contine to stare wide-eyed as even she didn't have any Hyoton jutsu within her arsenal on that massive of a scale.

Neji silently cursed as he continued to dodge the large tiger that continued to chase after him. It was the predator and he was the prey. No matter how many times he dodged it, it wouldn't let up. In fact every time he avoided the creature it only became faster. The young Hyuga only had one jutsu that would be able to defend against the predator's onslaught, he had been hoping to save it for the finals but it was the only thing that would save him right now.

He stopped running and slowly began to spin until he picked speed, "Hakkesho Kaiten (Eight Trigrams Palm Rotation)!" Chakra expelled from every tenketsu of his body as he spun, creating an impenetrable blue sphere. The ice tiger crashed into the sphere and slowly began to shatter until it was completely destroyed.

Neji stopped his jutsu a moment later, panting from how much chakra he had used. He would need to perfect the Kaiten later on so that he didn't have to waste so much of his chakra on it. Neji looked up and saw that he was on the complete other side of the room from where he was when he began dodging that ice tiger.

He knew just how close he had come to defeat in that moment he stared at the tiger's gaping jaws about to devour him whole. He would need to end the match soon, he didn't have much chakra left. Enough left to use the Hakkesho Kaiten once more, but that was it. Should he have to resort to that, then he was done, defeated.

"You did well to defend agains such an attack Neji, you truly are a genius of the Hyuga clan." Neji's eyes jerked up at the sudden voice and locked onto the form of Naruto across the arena. "But will you be able to avoid the next one?"

Neji's eyes widened as Naruto began going through hand seals, he got up and quickly charged Naruto in an attempt to finish him off before he completed the next jutsu. However, he was too late as Naruto landed on his seal and thrust his arm out forming a black ether-like dragon from the ice and snow behind him that flew into the air at high-speed. It's glowing red eyes locked onto Neji and went in for the kill. "Hyoton: Kokuryu Bofusetsu (Ice Release: Black Dragon Blizzard)!"

Neji knew he had to use the Hakkesho Kaiten once more in order to even survive the massive dragon. He began to spin at a rapid speed, exerting all of his chakra into this last jutsu. Even that was not enough as the black ether-like dragon hit the Kaiten, but did not dissipate. Instead it picked Neji's technique up while he was still spinning and launched him into the air, impacting the ceiling as the dragon continued to rush him.

Neji had long since stopped the Kaiten and could only feel his body screaming in pain as the dragon continued to pin him to the ceiling as the ice dissipated against it from the force of the impact. The last thing he remembered was the freezing feeling of the ice against his body before he was pulled into the darkness.

The dragon vanished from existence as soon as Naruto felt that Neji had lost consciousness. The Hyuga that was pinned to the ceiling slowly began his free fall back down to earth before Naruto Shunshined into the air and caught him, the natural heat of his body immediately causing Neji's body to recover from hypothermia. He landed on the ground once more and waited for the medical teams to come and take his opponent away.
