In two or three more years, I will have the support of some of the clanless ninja who grew up believing that only the Nara clan cares about the younger generation. However, this is a matter of the distant future.
Having finished with Anbu Ne's recruits, I breathed a sigh of relief and went to rest. The next morning, as if two frantic days in a row weren't enough, the thunder that Shenesu and I had waited for so long came - the Hyuga clan's protective barrier had risen!
Hizashi ducked under the blow and stabbed his opponent in the palm of his hand right in front of his heart, the powerful chakra blast literally piercing through the member of the main branch of the clan, inflicting a fatal wound.
- How dare you...," the shinobi wheezed, but he had no more strength left for anything else.
With a ferocious grin, he tossed aside the body that had begun to collapse on him - the asshole had used Hyuga Soke no Juinjutsu (the cursed seal technique of the Hyuga clan's main branch) on him more than once - Hyuga infused his body with chakra and rushed to the nearest clanmate with a clean forehead who had just popped out of the house.
- Die, traitors! - He shrieked, his face twisted with hatred, and folded the seal of pain activation.
Contrary to expectation, none of the nearby members of the sideline didn't even flinch, and Hizashi didn't even use his juken, just jumped up and punched the brat in the throat with one sharp blow, grinned at the look of utter surprise, and rushed further into the house.
A girl about eleven years old jumped out at him and tried to throw a punch, but he easily dodged it.
- Shotei (Lower Palm)!
She slowly settled to the floor after being hit by the paralyzing technique, and Hizashi flew down the long corridor in one leap, punching through the paper wall with his body and ending up in a spacious room with an elderly shinobi waiting for him in the middle of it.
- Who would have thought you'd have the guts to do something like this, Hisashi," he said with a contemptuous curve of his lips as he adopted a Hyuga taijutsu stance. - You will pay for your betrayal!
Except that, despite his threatening appearance, sweat was beading on the veteran's forehead, his hands were trembling subtly, and his byakugan was clearly showing the difficulty of chakra control that made a formidable foe an easy target.
- 'Loud words for someone who won't live a couple minutes, Takeda-san,' the young Hyuga hummed, quelling the wave of hatred inside.
Many members of the side branch had a score to settle with this elder and his family, and it was time to settle it, especially now that other shinobi were breaking into many of the upper clan's homes and killing or paralyzing those unable to put up a decent resistance.
- Try it, you brat! - The Elder shouted and launched a desperate attack, more intent on selling his life than hoping to win in his current state. - Hakke Rokujuyon (Eight trigrams of sixty-four palms)!
- Hakkesho Kaiten (Eight trigram palm Heavenly Rotation)," Hizashi uttered, twisting and throwing out all the tenketsu of chakra, which turned into a rotating dome that repelled all attacks and threw the attacker back.
- Genin are better at this technique," the young jonin snorted dismissively. - Why don't you show me how to do it?
