Chapter 645: I Made My Move, and It Was Over in an Instant!
"Soft Fist Technique·Bagua Sixty-Four Palms!"
Hyuuga Rinmo Tsushi prepared to teach Hyuuga Shizuku a lesson with his Gentle Fist, showing him the power of this style.
Unfortunately, he had picked the wrong opponent.
"Soft Fist Technique·Bagua Sixty-Four Palms!"
Hyuuga Shizuku also used the Gentle Fist without relying on the Reincarnation Eye to bully her opponent.
Almost simultaneously, both of them unleashed the Eight Trigrams field beneath their feet.
The air was torn apart by their palm strikes, and in just a second, they exchanged dozens of blows—a basic skill for advanced Gentle Fist practitioners.
Bang! In an instant, Hyuuga Rinmo Tsushi was sent flying.
Even though they both used the Gentle Fist, he crumbled at the first touch.
Hyuuga Shizuku surpassed him in strength, chakra control, and understanding of the Gentle Fist. How could he possibly stand against her?
If their fighting styles were different, he might have had a chance to compete, but unfortunately, they both used the Gentle Fist, and the result was an overwhelming defeat.
"Is this all the Gentle Fist can do?"
Hyuuga Shizuku had learned some of Tong Ping's eccentricities, and her words made Hyuuga Rinmo Tsushi's eyes turn red as he struggled to stand up from the ground.
"Eight Trigrams Palm!"
With all his strength, he executed this long-range attack.
The Eight Trigrams Palm was a technique exclusive to the Main Family, and he didn't believe she would know it.
In reality, Hyuuga Shizuku did know it!
Back then, she wasn't the type to sit idly by. She had secretly learned the Main Family's Gentle Fist and, with Tong Ping's creative input, developed numerous techniques based on the Gentle Fist.
For example, the core technique 'Razor's Edge' was developed based on the Main Family's secret, 'Reversal of Heaven.'
From there, she organized her own combat system with 'Razor's Edge' as its foundation.
However, this time, she didn't want to use the same Gentle Fist as her opponent; instead, she employed a different variation.
"Mountain-Breaking Strike!"
She unleashed a single strike.
Compared to the Heaven-Piercing Strike, the Mountain-Breaking Strike had weaker concentration and penetration power but boasted greater explosive force.
To describe it metaphorically:
One was like an armor-piercing shell, while the other resembled a high-explosive shell. The former focused on armor penetration, and the latter emphasized area-of-effect damage.
Nevertheless, the Heaven-Piercing Strike had infinite potential, while the Mountain-Breaking Strike did not.
Boom! Amidst the terrifying blast, Hyuuga Rinmo Tsushi was blown away by the air current.
Hyuuga Shizuku had held back most of her power.
Otherwise, it would have been a one-hit knockout.
Even without using the Reincarnation Eye, she was already at the Super Kage level. She could easily trounce her opponent with her eyes closed, and now she was humiliating him.
It was like a cat toying with a mouse! After all, he was the enemy who had caused the death of her parents and the root of her tragic past, so her actions were justified.
"A bunch of Main Family members raised like pigs could never give birth to a lion!"
Hyuuga Shizuku slowly approached the Hyuuga Clan Leader, whose clothes were stained with blood as he struggled to rise from the ground.
At this moment, the Clan Leader no longer exuded the air of superiority typical of the Main Family; instead, he looked utterly disheveled.
"Your rebellion will never succeed here in Konoha!"
Hyuuga Rinmo Tsushi brought up his powerful connections.
Yes, this was the reason he remained confident even in the face of such an unfavorable situation.
No matter how much the Branch Family members stirred up trouble, they could never be a match for Konoha.
"Is that so?" Hyuuga Shizuku's lips curled into a malicious smile. "What if I told you that I could lead the Branch Family out of Konoha?"
Indeed, she was well aware that this was Konoha. Even if the rebellion succeeded, they would still face the village's reckoning.
But the issue was that she had already prepared an escape route.
Even if they slaughtered the Main Family, there was no need to worry about Konoha's retaliation.
Without a backup plan, it would be impossible for so many Branch Family members to side with her.
"Impossible! You can't escape unless..." Hyuuga Rinmo Tsushi initially couldn't believe it, but then he remembered her identity.
"The teammate of the Skyguard Tower's master!"
If the Skyguard Tower was backing them, it would be a piece of cake to smuggle thousands of people out.
At that moment, while they were fighting, the elders and children of the Branch Family were not idle either. They all began to gather.
Cleansing the Main Family was not difficult once they could use the secret potion to sever the Cage Bird Seal's connection.
The challenge was how to lead so many people away from Konoha.
After all, not everyone was a ninja, even though the Hyuga Clan had a high rate of Byakugan awakening, unlike the Sharingan's strict requirements, and almost all of them possessed ninja talent.
Even though the number of ninjas was nearly a thousand, the total population was still less than a few thousand.
(End of Chapter)Even the number of ninjas in the Apefly Clan is comparable to that of the Hyuga Clan.
However, the Apefly Clan's population exceeds ten thousand, further emphasizing the advantage of the Byakugan's innate ability.
Once the purge of the Main Clan is complete, the truly challenging phase of this plan will begin.
With limited time, the Branch Families launched an extremely fierce offensive.
Some were even willing to exchange their lives!
They knew that as long as the plan succeeded, their families would be freed from the Cage Bird Seal, and they were ready to sacrifice themselves without hesitation.
Many of them died with smiles on their faces.
Yes, breaking free from the Cage Bird Seal was of utmost importance to the Branch Families.
"Damn brats!"
Rinmo Ryokai roared at the three young ninjas attacking him, feeling disrespected.
Chida, Neji, and Sasuke! Although Sasuke's age was unknown, his height and appearance were enough to estimate it, which was a basic skill for a ninja.
Rinmo Ryokai, as the son of the clan leader, was furious that only three young ninjas were sent to deal with him.
As for his entourage protecting him, they were naturally restrained and dealt with by the Branch Families.
Thus, a few of them were given the opportunity to fight one-on-one.
"Fire Style: Great Fireball Jutsu!"
Sasuke intentionally exposed his mouth from under his mask and directly spewed a fireball.
"You're not a member of the Hyuga Clan?"
Although Rinmo Ryokai was incompetent, he wasn't stupid; he instantly realized that Sasuke wasn't a Hyuga.
Because a Hyuga would never use ninjutsu instead of the Gentle Fist.
Boom!
The fireball shattered the surrounding flower beds, streetlights, benches, and more, clearing a wide area.
Having experienced several battles, Sasuke was well aware that a spacious battlefield would greatly benefit their encirclement. If the terrain were complex, it would be easy for the enemy to take advantage.
It must be said that before the foolishness of Nizuki, his intelligence was still intact.
"Soft Fist Technique·Bagua Sixty-Four Palms!"
Neji was the first to charge in and directly attacked with the Gentle Fist.
"Eight Palms!"
"Sixteen Palms!"
...
Neji's Gentle Fist was far inferior to that of Rinmo Tsushi, the clan leader, let alone Hyuga Shizuki. Therefore, he needed to slowly build up his attacks.
According to Tong Ping's mockery, if he had switched to kunai, he would have stabbed his opponent numerous times by now.
Chida, on the other hand, reduced her presence, becoming as inconspicuous as a puppet standing behind Neji.
Presence! With Hyuga Shizuki as an example, Chida naturally strived to improve in this aspect.
After practicing for more than a day, her skills in this area were still far from matching Hyuga Shizuki's, but she could now make a difference.
At the very least, Rinmo Ryokai, who was under siege, somewhat overlooked her.
However, among the three besiegers, the true powerhouse was Chida, while Neji and Sasuke were merely distractions.
Soon, she seized the opportunity when Rinmo Ryokai had just used the Gentle Fist to knock Neji away.
"Bagua Palm!"
Chida launched her attack from over ten meters away.
Palm!
Even an Upper-Level Ninja from the Main Clan would struggle to master this technique due to the high demand for Byakugan and chakra control.
Rinmo Ryokai, the son of the clan leader, had not yet mastered this Gentle Fist technique.
But now, Hinata Hyuga was capable of using it.
Bang! The air seemed to shatter, and Rinmo Ryokai, who had just exhausted his previous strength, was sent flying.
"How... is this possible!"
As he flew through the air, this was the only thought in his mind.
With the Byakugan, he wouldn't be caught off guard, but he hadn't anticipated that a weak and incompetent brat could use the Palm.
Of course, this was also due to his neglect of Chida because of her low presence.
One-hit KO!
Chida's first display of strength showcased her formidable power.
"Impossible!"
Sasuke muttered as he witnessed this scene.
His confidence crumbled.
He was the top-ranked genius at the Ninja Academy, but compared to Chida, his talent seemed somewhat inadequate.
The surrounding battles also began to subside.
After all, they were ninjas, not warriors who fought for hundreds of rounds in every battle; the combat process naturally couldn't be too lengthy.
