"So what? Do you have the ability to be the clan leader?"
Danzo Shimura, unwilling to see Hyuga Kaze continue his performance, shouted a sharp rebuke to stop him.
"Wind Release: Great Breakthrough"
Fire Release: Fire Dragon Bullet
......
In an instant, shuriken, kunai, fire dragons, and whirlwinds attacked Hyuga Kaze from all sides.
At Danzo's signal, a group of Root ninjas attacked Hyuga Kaze directly, while the other Anbu ninjas, following Hiruzen Sarutobi's secret instructions, held off the Hyuga clansmen nearby.
"Return to Heaven"
Faced with the sneak attack, Hyuga Kaze remained calm, waving his hand to silence his clansmen, and then using a single move to deflect all the ninjutsu and hidden weapons.
"Secret Technique: Shadow Imitation Technique"
In the instant that Kaiten disappeared, a pitch-black shadow darted along the ground at high speed, instantly connecting with Hinata Kaze's shadow.
Bound by the shadow, Hinata Kaze immediately stopped all movement, as if he had been frozen in place.
The next moment, two cold-blooded Root ninjas rushed to Hyuga Kaze's side, drew their ninja swords, and mercilessly slashed him in the waist. The two slashed through Hyuga Kaze from both the front and back, cutting his body in two like scissors.
"With such strength, how can he serve as the leader of a clan?"
Shimura Danzo remained unmoved by the ruthless methods of the Root ninjas, instead displaying disdain and directly mocking them at the entrance of the Hyuga clan's territory.
However, he was proven wrong the next moment when Hyuga Kaze's body, which had been broken in two, turned into smoke and disappeared.
"Eight-legged essay. Empty wall palm"
Hyuga Kaze's figure suddenly appeared in the air, several meters high. He struck out with both palms, and a surging, powerful palm wind enveloped the Root ninja in layers.
The dozen or so ninjas who were besieging Hyuga Kaze felt as if their bodies were being compressed by an invisible current, making it difficult for them to move. They also felt as powerful, invisible attacks were constantly pressing in from all directions.
Using techniques like Body Flicker and Substitution Jutsu, the quick-reacting ninjas dodged the attacks, while two weaker Root ninjas, unable to dodge in time, were hit, coughed up blood, and collapsed, losing their ability to fight back.
Fire Release: Dragon Fire Technique
"Wind Release: Vacuum Jade"
Without hesitation, the Root ninjas attacked Hyuga Kaze with ninjutsu as two fell, and four more immediately followed, leaving Hyuga Kaze somewhat overwhelmed.
Seeing this, Shimura Danzo revealed a smug smile. The Hyuga clan, a small clan, only has Gentle Fist that can exert some power in close combat and short to medium range. Do they really think they can fight against the elites of Root?
The attack by more than a dozen Root ninjas was nothing to Hyuga Kaze, but he didn't want to reveal too much of his strength for the time being, so he only used techniques such as Rotation, Gentle Fist, and Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four Palms.
Of course, in the face of the continuous barrage of ninjutsu, Hyuga Kaze also displayed his extremely fast Body Flicker Technique, which allowed him to move freely between the gaps in ninjutsu and hidden weapons.
Seeing that even a group of Root ninjas couldn't defeat Hyuga Kaze in time, Shimura Danzo was furious, but his tone was full of disdain.
"Faced with attacks from several Root ninjas, he could only dodge in a sorry state. With such strength, how can he have the face to be a clan leader?"
In fact, Hyuga Kaze's strength had already made Danzo and Hiruzen Sarutobi wary; not everyone could withstand the siege of more than a dozen Root ninjas for such a long time.
Danzo's words caused the Hyuga clan members and some Anbu members present to twitch at the corners of their mouths. There were more than a dozen Root elites, the weakest of whom were Chunin, and there were two Jonin among them. In your mouth, they became several.
If one of your eyes is bandaged, does that mean the other eye is blind too?
"Since Lord Danzo has extended such a warm invitation, I can only enjoy myself with my friends from the Root."
Faced with Danzo's taunts, Hyuga Kaze stopped hiding his strength and decided to reveal a little more of his power.
In an instant, Hyuga Kaze's figure broke free from the Root members' encirclement along an unpredictable route and arrived in front of the outermost Root ninjas.
"Eight Trigrams, Sixty-Four Palms"
Before the group could react, Hyuga Kaze, with a phantom-like movement, swiftly struck them, completely sealing off their chakra pathways.
"Wind Release: Great Breakthrough"
Fire Release: Great Fireball
When Hyuga Kaze attacked, the other Root ninjas seized the opportunity and used ninjutsu directly from behind him, without caring that their teammates were also within the range of the ninjutsu.
As if he had eyes in the back of his head, Hyuga Kaze used Body Flicker Technique to dodge again before the ninjutsu hit him, rushing towards the other attackers.
He dodged the attack in time, but the Root members whose chakra meridians were sealed had lost the ability to dodge and could only scream as they fell to the ground under the effects of their teammates' ninjutsu.
"Baguazhang - Reversing Heaven"
Hyuga Kaze was incredibly fast at that moment. Before the screams of the others had even subsided, he had already appeared in front of the three Root ninja on the other side. To their horrified gazes, Hyuga Kaze used his Heaven's Reversal technique to send them flying.
Fortunately, Hinata Kaze deliberately controlled his strength, and their injuries were much lighter than those of his colleagues before him.
"Eight Trigrams. Mountain-Breaking Strike"
Hyuga Kaze appeared in front of the two Root Jonin, lining them up in a row. He condensed terrifying chakra in his palm, then compressed it into a huge laser beam that shot out.
The beam was extremely fast, and under Hyuga Kaze's control, it pierced through two Root Jonin. The remaining beam struck the ground, instantly creating a crack that was three meters deep, more than one meter wide, and over twenty meters long.
The earth-shattering sound ended, and the scene fell silent for a moment. Several seconds later, the two Jonin truly felt the pain of their bodies being pierced, clutching their chests and howling in agony.
Hyuga Kaze controlled the angle and force very well, and their vital organs were not injured, so their lives are still guaranteed.
The remaining seven Root ninjas had cold and lifeless expressions. Even when they saw Hyuga Kaze's formidable strength, they only paused for a moment before reorganizing their attack formation.
"Eight Trigrams. Empty Palm"
Hyuga Kaze used even more chakra this time. He unleashed both palms simultaneously, the powerful palm winds compressing the air and leaving obvious palm marks. The two palm prints sent the seven Root ninjas flying with astonishing force, and the residual force plowed two long furrows in the ground.
Having defeated all the Root ninja, Hyuga Kaze moved in an instant, appearing in front of Hiruzen as if teleporting through space, before his afterimage disappeared from the spot.
"Excuse me, is my strength sufficient to serve as the clan leader?"
"you!"
Danzo and Mitokado Homura were filled with anger and were about to rebuke them, but were interrupted by Hiruzen Sarutobi.
"What strength? The succession of patriarchs among the various families is an internal matter, and the village will not interfere."
Hiruzen Sarutobi had an open and benevolent expression on his face, as if the Root ninjas lying on the ground didn't exist.
"Ah, won't you interfere?" Hinata Kaze's expression was as surprised as if he had seen swimsuit Chiyo. "Elder Danzo just said that I wasn't strong enough. I thought that every time a new clan leader was replaced, they would be besieged by Root ninjas at the gate of their clan's territory."
