Newer counter reference
The August Discord guide reports 2,500 total M1s and 1,000 total blocks for Stage 5. It explicitly warns against counting those as additional requirements after earlier stages. Solo Neji remains the trial. The original video route below is retained for directions.
Published preparation targets
| Counter | Taiyuki’s 18 Oct 2025 description |
|---|---|
| M1 hits | 5,000 |
| Blocks | 1,500 |
| Knocks | 50 |
| Byakugan uses | 75 |
| Perfect blocks | 100 |
Trainer route
- Finish the earlier Byakugan progression and compare your counters with the published targets.
- Follow the linked route into the Martial Elder room. Byakugan reveals the white outline used to locate the entrance.
- Speak to the elder and follow the associated Neji encounter route. Prepare for teleport attacks and the palm barrage.
What the source does not establish
The inspected video demonstrates the location and fight attempts, but not a successful reward hand-in or a complete Hinata/Neji variant-selection method. The meaning of the knock counter and the exact current thresholds remain unverified. Treat this as a preparation and location guide, not a guaranteed unlock recipe.
