A Burning Howl

A Burning Howl is the twenty-fourth Chapter of Season One, as well as of the series as a whole.

Plot
With Ino Yamanaka trapped in Shikamaru's Shadow Possession Jutsu, Shikamaru knocks her unconscious and wins the fight. In the fourth match, Neji Hyuga is paired against Hakuro Tsururi. The two, having associated with each other previously, begin their fight, and Neji activates Byakugan. Hakuro battles with Fire Style Jutsu, but Neji's Gentle Fist allows him to disable Hakuro's Chakra. They recall the day they first met, when Hakuro picked a fight with Neji to prove he was better than the Hyuga. Hakuro won the fight, and this inspired Neji to work to become a powerful Shinobi. As Hakuro's Chakra System recovers, he activates the series of Fire Style Jutsu known as Kajikishi. Neji builds up his Chakra as well, and the two prepare to attack each other.
