The next match is Hinata Hyuga against Neji Hyuga, who is revealed to be her cousin from the branch house of the Hyuga clan. Neji intimidates and berates his cousin, almost convincing her to forfeit. But Naruto's cheering stirs Hinata to fight her cousin in a duel using their clan's Gentle Fist style, which uses bursts of chakra to damage the opponent's internal organs.
