Chapter 97
🕑 Added 2023-10-23 10:35:41 +0000 UTC- This is true? – Neji raised his head and asked in a trembling voice.
- Do not listen to him! – exclaimed Hiashi, who was fighting with Ranmaru.
Now the face of the head of the Hyuuga Clan was full of anxiety, and anxiety and intense anger were growing inside!
Not only had the Kiri shinobi secretly infiltrated Konoha, but even more shockingly, they had recklessly set their sights on his Hyuuga Clan.
Luckily his fight with Ranmaru should attract the Anbu.
A little more and help from Konoha will arrive.
With such thoughts, Hiashi fixed a wary gaze on Ranmaru.
The brute strength of this transformed child is terrifying!
Not to mention the unknown Dojutsu was holding back the Byakugan to the point that Hiashi had to cancel its activation altogether.
Don't believe your own eyes...
What could be worse for a member of the Hyuuga Clan, famous for their Dojutsu?!
Also this young man...
The interference from Ranmaru's Dojutsu made it difficult for Yudao to see through the Byakugan's piercing vision.
But every time Hiashi sneaked a glance at this mysterious young man nearby, a chill ran down his spine.
Phew!
As soon as the head of the Hyuga Clan was a little distracted by Neji, Ranmaru immediately pushed off the floor with his feet, and a moment later appeared in front of his enemy with the Explosive Sword raised.
“Things are bad!” – Hiashi’s face changed sharply and, releasing a huge amount of chakra from all tenketsu, began to spin furiously around its axis like a whirlwind or a top!
Juken: Eight Trigrams Heavenly Rotation!
It was a true secret technique of the main branch of the Hyuuga Clan, against whose background Neji’s independent craft faded.
The huge amount of chakra released formed a hemispherical barrier around Hiashi's spinning figure with no weak points. You could say it was a kind of absolute protection!
The frantically spinning barrier instantly threw Ranmaru back.
- Wow, incredible! – the Swordsman of the Mist gasped in surprise.
And although Ranmaru clearly suffered from the Heavenly Rotation, there was not a shadow of fear on his childish face.
The Swordsman of the Mist tightly grabbed Shibuki's hilt with both hands, sharply raised him and struck him forward.
Boom! Boom! Boom!!
A series of explosions erupted on the surface of the rotating dome.
It is worth noting here that Ranmaru did not so much cut or slash with his Explosive Sword as he simply smashed it with all his might!
Besides, the Mist Swordsman himself didn’t care about explosions. Therefore, multiple explosive seals detonated upon Shibuki's first contact with the enemy's Heavenly Rotation surface.
And if from the first explosion Hiashi only shuddered violently, and the rotation lost stability, then the second one had already broken through absolute protection.
Well, from the third Hiashi flew back completely, spitting out blood!
What he saw reflected deep disbelief in Neji's gaze.
Has the head of the Hyuuga Clan... lost?!
The genin looked distantly at the bloodied and burned Hyuga Hiashi, lying unconscious on the floor, not believing his eyes.
And no matter how diligently Neji tried to maintain external calm, at that moment genuine shock was reflected on his face.
“It’s sad, of course, that the head of an ancient and noble clan turned out to be such a weakling, you can’t say anything,” Yudao shook his head, casting an indifferent glance at Hiashi, and then turned to the shocked Neji, “don’t you really want to become free?” I give you true freedom.
- What are you up to?! – then Genin swallowed nervously and exclaimed in a hoarse voice, hearing the last words of the young man.
“You’re not old enough to ask about my plans, kid,” Yudao said dismissively and pointed his finger in the direction of the Cursed Seal of the Main Branch of the Hyuuga Clan on Neji’s forehead.
At first he wanted to reflexively dodge, but then he suddenly froze in place, thinking that they would have killed him long ago if they really wanted to.
At the contact, a slight chill ran across his forehead.
And then the pain came, driving away all thoughts.
This is... passive activation of... the cursed seal.
But the pain came and went away, as if it had never existed.
When Neji came to his senses, Yudao had already removed his hand.
– Now Hiashi’s fate is in your hands. Come on, it’s up to you to decide: to live as the head of the Hyuuga Clan or to die...” Yudao said indifferently, looking at Neji with interest, and then added. - Well, finally, someone responded to the explosions. We also had to try to bring Hashirama’s village to this state. Well, in that case, let me start this war.
Neji, who was sitting on the bed, flinched at every word of the First Mizukage, but he had already stopped paying attention to the Genin.
Yudao's lips curved into a slight smirk when he felt the Konoha shinobi rapidly approaching this room.
He then raised his hand and lightly snapped his fingers!
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!!!
And a short moment later, five powerful explosions simultaneously erupted on different outskirts of Konoha, the roar echoed throughout the entire village...
Then, hastily looking out the window, the already tense Neji saw several pillars of smoke and flame against the background of the blue sky.
It took his breath away.
War!
He, of course, understood where everything was going, but the young Genin was seized with a strong shock when this really happened, like a waking dream.
When Neji looked away from the window to look at Yudao, there was already no trace of him and Ranmaru.
Only Hiashi was lying on the floor unconscious.
“Ahhh!!!”
"Who are you..."
"..."
And literally a moment later, screams were heard from outside, from which Neji instantly came to his senses, and when the screams soon died down, he somehow hobbled to the door and looked out into the corridor.
The smell of blood filled his nose!
On the floor of the corridor lay several bloody and mutilated corpses of Konoha shinobi, including a couple of members of the Hyuuga Clan!
From what he saw, Neji involuntarily staggered back, leaned his back against the wall by the door and slowly slid down it to the floor, while the stranger’s recent words sounded in his head: “How can a child who grew up in peace and quiet even know what a real war is?”
Before, he had not thought about resisting fate, like a bird locked in a cage.
But now that the cage has been broken...
Neji slowly raised his head and looked again at the corpses at the entrance, and then turned his gaze to the unconscious Hiashi inside.
He was still bursting with resentment, but now another feeling was imperceptibly added to it, which rolled over again and again.
Weak...
Too weak!
The strength of the vaunted Hyuuga Clan, its strength, pales in comparison to the truly strong, powerful shinobi!
