Chapter 101: My Territory
"Hoo—"
Outside the desolate town, the howling wind was even colder. Yet Hyuga Yizhen's heart burned with heat!
"Finally… is it time?" Ever since obtaining the curse mark, after waiting so many days, Hyuga Yizhen finally had a stage to show himself. As for the guy who had called him a "duck," he had long since been added to Yizuhen's kill list!
Ding…
Mission triggered: Eliminate the Bandits.
Mission details: Tu Ba and his gang have committed countless evils and killed innumerable people. Eliminating this band of bandits is the duty of every Konoha ninja.
Mission rewards:
Kill leader Tu Ba—one Basic Treasure Chest, 100 points.
Exterminate the entire bandit group—one Intermediate Treasure Chest, 500 points.
Li Jiexuan raised his eyelids slightly, utterly unmoved. Such meager rewards weren't enough to stir him. Only those who could endure loneliness could reel in the big fish…
"Hoo—!"
Hyuga Yizhen slowly came to a stop, shielding Yamada Xunzhen and Captain Li Jiexuan behind him. "Yamada, take Captain Li Jiexuan and hide to the side. I'll deal with them quickly!"
At that moment, Tu Ba and his men caught up…
"You damn duck—pretty big talk for someone like you!"
Veins bulged on Hyuga Yizhen's forehead as he activated his Byakugan!
"Gentle Fist—Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four Palms!"
Hyuga Yizhen turned into a streak of light and charged straight into the bandit mob. Faced with the speed of an elite chunin like him, the ordinary bandits didn't even have time to react before being knocked down one by one by the Eight Trigrams Palm…
With just a light strike, the chakra in the Gentle Fist could destroy an opponent's meridians; with slightly more force, even internal organs could be shattered! Against these despicable bandits, Hyuga Yizhen held nothing back. In barely a minute, a band of over a hundred was reduced to just ten remaining…
This—was the difference between ninja and ordinary people!
"Hoo—"
Hyuga Yizhen panted lightly. The remaining ten all possessed chakra. Though they didn't qualify as true ninja, they weren't so easy to kill either.
"Boss, this one's tough!"
These ten were all Tu Ba's trusted men. Years of teaching them chakra hadn't been completely wasted.
"Get up there! Even if you have to pile up corpses, pile him to death!"
Though his subordinates hesitated, Tu Ba didn't care at all!
Soldiers were raised for moments like this. Tu Ba didn't give a damn about their lives. As long as he dealt with this white-eyed brat, his grand ambitions would be within reach!
Unwilling to fight Hyuga Yizhen, yet cowed by Tu Ba's long-standing authority, the remaining ten still gritted their teeth and charged forward.
"Die, brat! Earth Style—Earth Needles!"
"Water Style—Water Gun!"
"Fire Style—Fire Tongue!"
In an instant, more than ten E-rank minor techniques surged toward Hyuga Yizhen like a tide.
"How laughable!" Hyuga Yizhen sneered. "You lot think you deserve to be called ninja?"
"Eight Trigrams Palm—Rotation!"
Hyuga Yizhen spun—he spun again!
"Does the Hyuga clan have anything impressive besides Rotation?" Li Jiexuan thought for a moment, then curled his lip. "Seems… not really."
Spin and jump, I'm closing my eyes!
Hyuga Yizhen was enjoying himself. The abundant chakra granted by the curse mark let him keep spinning endlessly!
However…
"Earth Style—Earth Armor!"
Tu Ba swung his spiked club and smashed it into the ground. Mud instantly surged up, covering his body and forming a layer of hardened earthen armor.
"Hahaha!"
Tu Ba laughed loudly as he leapt past the spinning Hyuga Yizhen, raising his spiked club and smashing it viciously toward Li Jiexuan…
"That idiot Hyuga Yizhen!" Li Jiexuan clicked his tongue. The guy had spun himself into a trance and let Tu Ba slip through.
The massive spiked club came crashing down. Yamada Xunzhen stood there as if stunned, holding the unconscious, drunken Li Jiexuan. The club drew closer and closer, about to smash both Li Jiexuan and Yamada Xunzhen into pulp…
Tu Ba grinned. He could already picture Li Jiexuan's gruesome death—what a beautiful sight! Thirty billion, coming so easily!
And yet…
A monstrous arm suddenly appeared out of nowhere, gripping Tu Ba's arm tightly. No matter how hard he struggled, it wouldn't budge an inch!
"Who gave you permission to touch our captain?"
With a beat of grotesque wings, Hyuga Yizhen—now bearing a pair of wings on his back—bared his teeth in a feral grin.
"From here on—this is my territory!"
