I promote boxing in the world of Konoha

Steel fist, soft fist.

Until he parted ways with Kai and returned home, Neji was still thinking about this issue.

He was lying on the bed, looking at the bright moon hanging high in the sky outside the window, thinking in his heart.

He could understand what Teacher Kai meant.

Teacher Kai knows steel boxing, so he will naturally teach steel boxing. Soft fist? Hinata is the only family in Konoha.

Kai couldn't teach it, not even if he was a master of physical arts.

Just like a Tai Chi master cannot teach Wing Chun: Metkai, who only knows steel boxing, cannot provide much help to improve Neji's soft boxing.

Neji's progress in soft boxing can only be achieved by himself or by the guidance of strong men in the family...

Don't count on the latter, the guidance will basically only be given to the clan. He is a branch of the clan and has a very tense relationship with the clan, so even if he is willing to teach, I won’t learn it with shame.

As for what Kai said,"Lee might learn it, but you probably won't," Neji could understand it.

This is a bit like the silly boy protagonist in classical martial arts novels. Just because he knows nothing, he can directly learn magical skills. As for the second male villain, he already has strong inner strength in his body, but if he wants to learn magical skills, he will be conflicted.

In the end, it leads to one result: either not to learn, or to abandon martial arts and start from scratch.

Neji didn't even think about abandoning his martial arts skills.

First of all, after practicing Rouquan for so many years, as Kai said, many habits have become conditioned reflexes and cannot be changed.

Secondly, if you give up soft fist and learn steel fist, the power of the Byakugan will be greatly reduced - this is different from the"Sharingan" owned by another family in the village.

The Byakugan is obviously not as"versatile" as the Sharingan.

If you don't use Rouquan, most of Baiyan's ability to see through meridians and acupuncture points will be useless.

And there's another thing...if Soft Fist is practiced to the extreme, it's no worse than Steel Fist.

Neji knew this very well, but he was a little unwilling to do so.

Could it be that he is going to be like Ningji in the original work, from being a genius at the beginning to gradually becoming mediocre?

In the later period, when the average per capita score is higher, will he still be an ordinary soft fist three-axe?

"Isn't there a way to 'combine strength and softness'... Or, after learning steel boxing, rely on crimson to improve?"

Looking at the bright moon, he had many thoughts in his mind.

Opening Crimson, he now has six energy bars, none of which are related to Soft Fist.

【Basic Soft Boxing], from master to master, requires a terrifying fifty tubes of energy; [Soft Boxing Technique·Bagua Sixty-Four Palms], from proficiency to mastery, also requires twenty tubes.

Others, such as [Clone Technique]】、【Substitution Technique] and other ninjutsu are enough to upgrade, but upgrading these will not improve his strength much, so it is better to keep the energy.

……

The days are passing day by day.

Before you know it, another month has passed.

On this day, after the training, Tiantian called Xiao Li and Neji

"Dad said that he hasn’t invited his companions to the house for several months, which is a little rude! If you have nothing to do tonight, go to my dad's shop for dinner!"

Xiao Li was very shy and said:"Does Tiantian's father want to treat us to dinner? Very good!"

Ningji was fine and agreed.

The three of them went to a ninja shop in the village. There was a middle-aged man sitting in the shop. His facial features were similar to Tiantian's. He was Tiantian's father.

"You are Xiao Li and Neji, I mention you often every day!"

Tianpa greeted with a smile and patted Neji's shoulder hard.

"What a handsome boy! You two boys must take good care of Tiantian!"

"Don't worry, uncle!"Xiao Li promised,"We will definitely protect Tiantian!"

"Idiot Xiao Li, who wants your protection? I think it’s okay for me to protect you, hehe."

Tiantian said with a smile, and took Xiao Li and Neji to visit her store.

The store sells a wide variety of ninja tools, including twenty or thirty types of shurikens: triangle type, cross type, sickle type, nail head Hammer type...

In addition, there are various hidden weapons such as iron balls, hatchets, short sticks, steel wires, and iron chains.

Tiantian also took out a special kunai to show to Neji and Xiao Li:"Look, The surface is the same as an ordinary kunai, but the part connecting the handle and the blade is hollow and has a mechanism that can be opened."

She said and pressed lightly on the back, and the joint between the handle and the blade popped open. The space inside could probably be used to put a small stone or something like that.

Xiao Li didn't quite understand. He opened his eyes wide and looked at the small Space:"Tiantian, what should I put in this!"

"Generally speaking, a small detonating talisman is required."Tiantian explained,"Ordinary detonating talisman kunai is too obvious, and the enemy will notice it when thrown over, but this special kunai can hide the detonating talisman, and it will be too late for the enemy to notice it when it flies close."

"I see!"

"This kunai is really good……"After listening to Tiantian's explanation, Neji felt that it was indeed a good prop.

He also knew about detonating charms, which were similar to grenades in his understanding. It's just that the grenade is filled with gunpowder, and the detonating charm is filled with sealed fire escape ninjutsu.

However, unlike grenades, detonators are a special kind of paper that can store chakra energy. Paper is light and difficult to throw directly. It must be attached to something hard.

Therefore, the detonating charm and kunai or shuriken have become the most classic combinations.

"Wow!!"

Xiao Li then saw the price tag on the wooden board with the special kunai, and his expression was horrified.

"Too, too expensive!!! Tiantian smiled and said:"It's difficult to make the mechanism, and it comes with a detonating talisman, so the price is high." But since it’s you, I’ll give each of you one."

Hao! I love it!

Detonating charms are really expensive. Most ninjas can't afford one for many low-level tasks. Except for rich women and rich people who can just throw them around for fun, most ordinary ninjas can only save money to buy a few and keep them as a means of survival.

"Really! Tiantian, you are so kind!"

Xiao Li was so excited that he wanted to hug him, but was slapped away by Tiantian.

"Thank you Tiantian."Ningci didn't show any pretense and accepted the kindness.

Tenten smiled at him and was about to say something when he suddenly found Neci looking at the kunai in his hand and frowning in thought.

"Neji, what are you thinking about?"

"Hmm...I'm thinking about some ninja tools."

What Neji was thinking about was actually the problem that troubled him after the last battle mission with the Sunagakure rebels. After that battle, he discovered that a big flaw of his was that he was weak in long-range combat.

His taijutsu , Soft fist must be close to the body to be effective. If the enemy distances himself from him and kites him, he will be very uncomfortable.

For example, the former Sunagakure rebel ninja is a ninja who is good at wind escape.

He can always Using wind escape from a long distance to consume him, Ning must first dodge the ninjutsu attack and then get close to him. After returning from that time, he has been thinking about what he should do next time he encounters a long-range attack enemy. How to fight the enemy?

Do you rely on soft fists... It is not that there are no long-range attack methods in the Hyuga Fluid Technique.

In his memory, his father seemed to have told him when he was still alive. The clan has a secret technique called"Bagua Kongzhang"", which can hurt the enemy from a long distance.

But this is the secret of the clan. Unless the clan takes the initiative to teach it, Neji has no channel to learn it and can only understand it on his own. But it seems that he can't understand this advanced secret technique in a short time now. Toru.

Then we can only find another way...

Like Mr. Kai, who has extremely excellent speed and can get close to the enemy in an instant?

This is a feasible way, but it cannot be practiced in a short time. It is a long-term process. Process.

Rely on Ninjutsu?

Neji can use Ninjutsu, but his chakra amount is not too much. After using Ninjutsu a few times, it will be exhausted, and he cannot fight a war of attrition. Moreover, using Ninjutsu cannot be used in conjunction with Byakugan. It was a waste of Byakugan's super auxiliary ability.

If there was a way to use Byakugan to assist in long-range attacks...

Neji suddenly raised his head:"Tiantian, do you have any particularly thin ninja tools in your store?"

"Very fine……？"

"Yes, for example...a longer embroidery needle"

"Well……"Tenten scratched his head and led him to find a kind of ninja tool,"This should meet your requirements, Qianbon."

Qianbon is indeed a needle-type hidden weapon. When Neji saw it, he thought of Bai... People who use this kind of hidden weapon are more likely to use it. Of course, only Haku had a deeper impression on him, and the other one was the Chuunin Exam judge who always held a Senbon in his mouth as a toothpick.

Neji picked up one and looked at it,"This one has a good thickness, but it's a bit too long. It would be better if it was shorter.""

"There should be no shorter one, and it needs to be specially customized. Tiantian was very curious,"Neji, why do you want that kind of ninja tool?""

Xiao Li on the side was also confused. He didn't know what the genius Neci, a boxer, wanted to do with this kind of ninja tool.

If it were someone else, Neji would definitely not explain it, but facing Tiantian and Xiao Li, these two people he trusted man, he did not hide his thoughts

"Have you ever heard of... flying acupuncture?"
