"You have obtained everything you wanted, and you can leave Konoha now. If you continue to persecute Konoha, I will not hesitate to kill you."

"If you can do it, come on," Hinata Kaze said with a mocking expression, looking incredibly irritating.

"What exactly do you want?!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi had an expression that looked like he wanted to devour Hyuga Kaze alive.

While Hyuga Kaze was happily plundering resources in the secret room, Hiruzen had already returned with his men. He arranged for the Sarutobi clan's territory to be completely cleared out, and he continued to recruit more people.

Excluding the seriously injured and the elderly, weak, women and children who were moved away, the Sarutobi clan still had 600 elite ninjas with fighting ability. They all followed behind Hiruzen, looking at Hyuga Kaze with hostile eyes.

Hiruzen Sarutobi brought over 1,000 ANBU and civilian ninjas with him. After all, he had been Hokage for decades, so he naturally had a group of die-hard fans, and many ninjas still subconsciously believed in him.

Some of these ninjas genuinely wanted to protect Konoha, even though they were shocked by the many dark secrets exposed. They felt those were internal problems that could be resolved later.

Hyuga Kaze is clearly an external enemy that urgently needs to be eliminated!

Further out, more than 1,000 ninjas, under the coordination of the Yamanaka clan, have worked with the sealing team to set up a temporary, powerful sealing barrier, which they are continuously reinforcing by inputting chakra.

They were so shocked before that they didn't set up the barrier in time. This time, Hiruzen personally supervised their construction.

These clan ninjas were happy to set up a barrier around the perimeter. Facing the mysterious man directly was dangerous, but they felt safer setting up a barrier by channeling chakra from a distance. On the other hand, they still wanted to see if they could kill this dangerous guy.

Hinata Kaze glanced around. "Well, I don't really have any specific goals. If I had to say, it's just about making some money and having some fun."

"You caused so much damage to Konoha just for fun! You're too dangerous!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi's pupils constricted, his expression one of rage, but his heart was in turmoil. He certainly wanted to tear the mysterious man before him to pieces, but the man's overwhelming strength made him hesitant.

Hinata Kaze stepped forward, completely fearless.

"Is your rule too dangerous, like that of the White Fang, the Legendary Sannin, the Uchiha clan, or even the Fourth Hokage!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi quickly retorted, "Nonsense! I did this for Konoha, you..."

"Tonight, by cooperating with you to wipe out the masked man from the Uchiha clan, you've admitted that he was the one who instigated the Nine-Tails' rampage back then. Shouldn't you eliminate such a dangerous guy first?"

Hinata Kaze impatiently interrupted his sophistry.

"That's because Itachi and Danzo were misled before; I was unaware of it. I also regret what happened to the Uchiha clan; it was my fault for not supervising them properly. I will deal with Danzo's mistakes and that mysterious man's sins in the future! But that's no reason to let you off the hook!"

Looking at Hiruzen Sarutobi's righteous and indignant demeanor, Hyuga Kaze felt a strange sense of familiarity.

This guy in front of him was too good at spreading rumors and causing trouble. Hiruzen Sarutobi felt he couldn't let Hyuga Kaze continue talking. He waved his hand and threw a shuriken as a signal to start the battle.

Boom! The shuriken was blocked by the Resurrection Shield and could not get close, but the explosive tag wrapped around the handle suddenly exploded, giving the Resurrection Shield a small impact.

"Is that all?" Hyuga Kaze sneered disdainfully. He could exhaust even a ninja who threw projectiles to death by simply standing still and enduring such an attack.

Having learned from their previous battles, Hiruzen Sarutobi and his group had clearly conceived a better plan for this attack, which was far more organized than Hyuga Kaze had imagined.

Next, Hyuga Kaze saw a template case of group operations in the ninja world.

Shadow clones close in and use explosive tags; tiered configuration of hidden weapons and explosive tags; poison gas; team combinations using water and fire ninjutsu in rotation; genjutsu interference and underground sneak attacks; Gentle Fist and Air Palm; Shadow Imitation Technique; the insects of the Aburame family—all sorts of attacks came one after another, leaving no gaps, all aimed at depleting Hyuga Kaze's chakra.

Hyuga Kaze wasn't foolish enough to stand still and waste his chakra to withstand the attack. He tried it out first, but the coordinates of the Flying Thunder God Technique were currently blurry and unstable, making it quite dangerous to use.

Then, he began to show off the wonders of the Eight Trigrams Cave Step. His figure swayed, leaving afterimages everywhere in the air. In an instant, he covered nearly a hundred meters, and his speed over short distances was not much different from the Flying Thunder God Technique. Even those afterimages could move independently and attack continuously for a second or two, causing great trouble for the ninjas.

If it weren't for Hiruzen Sarutobi and several groups of ninjas desperately using combined ninjutsu to stop him, Hyuga Kaze would have broken through the barrier in just a few breaths.

Annoyed by Hiruzen Sarutobi's persistent nagging, Hyuga Kaze suddenly stopped, his voice icy, "You broke the contract first, so I won't hold it against you!"

After saying that, Hyuga Kaze raised his palm to the sky and shouted, "Uchiha Style: Meteor Palm!" Then he swung his palm down.

Following the direction of his palm, a giant stone palm, a hundred meters in size, suddenly condensed in the sky and descended, bringing with it astonishing air pressure that made it difficult for even weaker ninjas to move.

Boom! The giant hand landed, causing the Sarutobi clan to tremble violently. Large areas of houses collapsed, and a handprint a hundred meters in size and one meter deep appeared on the ground, completely disrupting Hiruzen and his group's formation.

"Uchiha Style: Gale Sword"

Before they could react, Hyuga Kaze conjured dozens of storms, blowing a large number of ninjas far away, leaving only Sarutobi clan ninjas behind.

"The reason there are so many barriers between people is because we don't know each other well enough. Tonight, I'll help you all get to know each other better and let you know what the true Will of Fire is!"
