"What, I'm going to slaughter some Mist ninja—are you going to stop me too? Or are you spies from the Hidden Mist?"
Uchiha Kamito's eyes glowed crimson, his three-tomoe Sharingan already activated. Behind him, the other Uchiha followed suit, each opening their Sharingan.
In the ninja world, no one dared to meet even a single pair of Sharingan head-on—let alone eight hundred.
The Konoha ninja surrounding them unconsciously stepped aside, parting a path.
"Thanks for your cooperation."
After saying that, Uchiha Kamito strode forward alone toward the frontlines. The Uchiha behind him hurried to follow, their faces brimming with barely restrained excitement.
Following Kamito was just too satisfying. Maybe when they got back, they should talk to the elders and make him clan head. This—this was the true Uchiha style. They'd been holding themselves back for far too long; everyone was practically suffocating from the restraint.
...
While Uchiha Kamito's side was all swagger and dominance, the first to actually start fighting was Hyūga Hiyasu.
At another coastal battlefield, perhaps because this side was led by the ANBU, the tone wasn't as aggressive.
After a round of "harmonious exchange"—a truly "harmonious" one, with back-and-forth words—
Hyūga Hiyasu thought to himself: I'm not some reckless brute.
After that, Hyūga Hiyasu led six hundred Hyūga ninja to the frontlines.
Looking at the group of screaming, charging enemy ninja ahead, a smile spread uncontrollably across his face.
"All units, listen up—activate the Byakugan."
"Yes."
Tch… standing in front of them was a terrible idea. Being seen through completely didn't feel good at all.
Maybe later he should do a survey—would people rather face a pair of Sharingan, or a pair of Byakugan?
Somehow, hundreds of Byakugan activating at once felt far more terrifying than hundreds of Sharingan.
"You all take a look first. I'll go have some fun. If you feel like it later, you can join in."
Hyūga Hiyasu said with a smile.
"As the head of the branch family, how can you recklessly charge onto the battlefield? You're being too careless."
The one who spoke was Hyūga Wataru—Hiyasu's father and former head of the branch family.
"I'm the head of the branch family now."
"You—!"
That "I am the Hokage" line adapted from Sarutobi Hiruzen—worked wonders. Five-star review!
Hyūga Hiyasu leisurely walked toward the hundred or so enemies ahead.
Seeing a lone figure approaching, the Kaguya clan revealed bloodthirsty grins.
"Hahaha, kill this little brat!"
"I'll go first—don't fight me for it!"
"Kimiha, you bastard, always stealing the kills!"
The Kaguya behind them merely smiled. They all knew Kaguya Kimiha's strength.
An upper-rank ninja who had awakened the Shikotsumyaku—easily at elite jonin level.
Unless a Kage-level opponent intervened, or several elite jonin attacked together, Kaguya Kimiha feared no one.
At that moment, Kaguya Kimiha had already dashed in front of Hyūga Hiyasu.
"Kid, witness the cruelty of the battlefield."
"Shikotsumyaku!"
Kaguya Kimiha pulled out a section of his spine, turning it into a whip that lashed toward Hyūga Hiyasu's neck.
"Off with your head, Konoha brat!"
"You sure talk a lot during a fight."
Hyūga Hiyasu was already in front of him.
"What?!"
Kaguya Kimiha's pupils shrank—how did he get here?
"Gentle Fist: Taiji Air Palm."
"Just Gentle Fist—pfft—how is that possible?!"
Kaguya Kimiha was blasted away. His bone spikes seemed completely useless.
Struggling to his feet, disbelief filled his eyes.
"H-how… how is this possible? Y-you—how did you do it?!"
Hyūga Hiyasu stepped forward with graceful ease, arriving before him again.
"You think I'd explain my abilities to an enemy? Do I look like an idiot to you?"
"Gentle Fist: Eight Trigrams Air Palm."
Blood burst from Kaguya Kimiha's mouth, nose, eyes, and ears as he died.
As expected, attacking the brain with Gentle Fist was the most satisfying. If you can strike internal organs directly, why bother aiming for places like the viscera that won't kill instantly?
Of course, you go for the head and heart. It's not like you can train those parts to become tougher.
Oh… but I used Taiji just now, so that's fine.
Sorry, Gentle Fist—I misjudged you.
Gentle Fist: Hmph.
Behind them, the Kaguya clan stared in stunned silence.
That was Kaguya Kimiha—how could he be killed so easily?
A normal person would retreat at this point.
But who were they?
They were the lunatics of the Kaguya clan.
"Hahaha, perfect! A man who can kill Kimiha—he'll be even more valuable to kill!"
"Hahaha, Kimiha got ahead earlier—this time I'll be first!"
"I'm going too!"
In the blink of an eye, five or six more Kaguya ninja charged forward.
"Ten-Finger Piercing Bullets!"
"Boring. Air Palm."
A burst of force knocked all ten flying finger bones aside.
"Die, brat! Shikotsumyaku—"
"Try pulling out your bones again."
"Eight Trigrams: Taiji Air Palm."
The force surged into the attacker's body, instantly turning his insides into mush.
He spat blood and died.
The remaining four Kaguya ninja erupted with chakra, their bodies covered in bone spikes as they charged.
"This is the invincible defense of the Kaguya clan! Die, brat!"
"So many 'invincible defenses' these days… Rotation."
Hyūga Hiyasu released a massive amount of chakra, pulling all the incoming enemies into it.
"Rotation—Modified: Vortex Baptism."
He reversed the flow of Rotation. What was originally a defensive technique spinning outward became an upward half-spherical chakra dome, trapping the four Kaguya ninja inside and spinning them relentlessly.
At that moment, the last Kaguya ninja attacked.
"Shikotsumyaku: Spear Thrust!"
He condensed all the bones in his body into a massive spear and charged at Hyūga Hiyasu.
"So what if you can strike through our Shikotsumyaku and hit our soft insides? Let's go to hell together, Konoha brat!"
Having just dealt with the four, Hyūga Hiyasu turned to face him.
"What made you think I'm bad at direct confrontation?"
Deep blue chakra wrapped around his left hand as he threw a punch, shattering the incoming bone spear head-on.
"H-how… is this possible…?"
With those final words, the last Kaguya ninja collapsed.
Hyūga Hiyasu looked at his fist, where the wound was so deep the bone was visible.
...
At both ends of the battlefield—
On the Hyūga side:
"What is this? Since when can our Gentle Fist shatter the Kaguya clan's Shikotsumyaku head-on? Did the main family not teach us the real Gentle Fist? But Hiyasu is from the branch family too—how did he learn it?!"
Main family: Don't slander us—we don't know how either!
On the Kaguya side:
"What the hell… our Shikotsumyaku got crushed?!"
