Hayato was over two meters tall, almost three meters — for an average person, he was nothing less than a demon.
A demon-like presence: huge fists, monstrous strength, and incredible explosive jumping power backed by his massive muscles.
Hayato's giant fist slammed down hard. Boom! The ground shook with the impact. Blood poured out nonstop, quickly staining the ground bright red.
"This kind of strength, this kind of speed... definitely a powerful Kekkei Genkai. But if that's all, there's no way he could take down Lord Danzo!" The Konoha Anbu ninja watching from behind, with a knife strapped on his back and a medical mask covering his face, squinted his eyes, analyzing Hayato's power.
What Hayato didn't know was that someone was watching him nearby. Right now, all he could think about was attack, attack, and more attack—he wanted to kill everyone from the Black Dragon Society, to smash them all into meat paste.
After Hayato transformed, every Black Dragon member was stunned, especially when just one punch from him killed their leader and smashed several others' heads to a pulp. They were practically scared out of their minds.
"Run!"
"Monster!"
"Get away!"
"Demon!"
The Black Dragon guys scattered in panic, scrambling like their lives depended on it, probably wishing they had a couple extra legs to get away faster.
If Hayato hadn't transformed into the Hulk, they might've gotten away by running. But now that he was the Hulk—a very vengeful, angry green giant—none of them stood a chance.
With a spring in his step, his huge body shot up like it had springs under his feet. Boom! He landed hard, crushing one guy into a smear of meat with a single stomp, then charged at another.
Just one slap knocked the guy flat, blood spraying everywhere, flesh and bones flying, and the poor guy's skin ended up stuck to the ground like a useless rag.
"Damn! Such insane power... and so wild! But he seems to have lost his mind!" The Anbu hiding in the shadows gasped, then his eyes flickered with interest — he spotted some small openings in Hayato's fighting style.
"Too bad there's almost no clue about Hayato's Kekkei Genkai until now. And it seems like this kind of Kekkei Genkai has never been seen before.
If only we knew his weakness, it'd be so much easier to deal with him," the Anbu captain thought to himself.
"Captain! What's our next move?" A fellow Anbu, wearing a cat mask, approached quietly and asked in a low voice.
"You all stay hidden. I'll take him on. If I can kill him, even better. If not... you bring back all the info from our fight to the village and give it to the Hokage!" The masked Anbu captain with the knife said coldly.
"Captain..."
"That's an order!"
"Yes, Captain!"
Meanwhile, Hayato, now fully transformed into the Hulk, kept chasing the Black Dragon members. But these guys were barely stronger than regular people, some not even reaching the level of genin. Killing them was ridiculously easy.
After wiping them out, Hayato's rage started to fade. His huge body began to change again, and the green color started to fade from his skin.
Just then, a flash of cold steel appeared right in front of him. Hayato had no time to react — he felt a sharp pain in his chest. A sharp samurai sword had pierced into him. The sword was held by the masked ninja captain from the Anbu squad.
"Got him... what? It only pierced this deep? Damn, what a tough body," the Anbu captain thought, surprised but excited that he'd managed to stab Hayato at all.
Then his expression changed to shock — Hayato's defense was insanely strong. Even with all his effort, the blade barely cut into his muscle.
The captain pushed the blade deeper with all his strength, and it almost reached Hayato's heart. But no matter how hard he tried, the blade wouldn't go in any further.
"Ah!!!" Hayato hadn't expected someone to jump out and attack him just as he was about to finish transforming, nearly stabbing him in the heart.
Furious, he let out a thunderous roar. His body swelled up again, growing bigger, and his massive hand slammed hard toward the Anbu captain.
