It was late at night, with stars twinkling, when Hinata Kaze came out of Kurenai Yuhi's house.
He strolled leisurely towards the tribe's territory, occasionally humming a few indistinct tunes, looking incredibly happy.
Between the bustling center of Konoha Village and the Hyuga clan's territory, there is a stretch of road through a dense forest.
Under the dim moonlight, the only sound in the forest tonight is the rustling of branches in the breeze, making it seem exceptionally cold and eerie.
"Tsk tsk tsk, I really can't wait."
Hyuga Kaze suddenly stopped, his eyes scanning his surroundings. Danzo was truly wicked; his thoughts were easy to guess. Sure enough, he seized the opportunity to strike.
Suddenly, more than thirty figures dressed in combat uniforms and wearing strange animal masks jumped out from around Hyuga Kaze.
"Hyuga Kaze, come with us, Lord Danzo wants to see you."
The masked man leading the group gave orders to Hinata Kaze as if it were his own business. His voice was indifferent and mechanical, without any inflection.
Hyuga Kaze looked disdainful and spoke with provocation, "Trying to make things difficult for me? You really have a lot of nerve. If Danzo wants to see me, let him come to the Hyuga clan's territory to pay his respects."
"Escape from Earth. Yellow Spring Marsh"
Fire Release: Fire Dragon Flame Bullet
"Wind Release: Vacuum Jewel"
...
Before Hyuga Kaze could finish speaking, the Root ninja launched a fierce attack.
This decisiveness impressed Hinata Kaze, who couldn't help but think, "Are you all this brave? No wonder Root has such a fast turnover rate."
Having learned from their previous encounter, the Roots' tactics this time were very targeted.
They used Earth Release to slow down Hyuga Kaze's movements, and Fire Release to force him to use Rotation, thus depleting his chakra. When Hyuga Kaze tried to move and break through, they used the fastest Wind Release to intercept and block him.
There were also some taijutsu-type ninjas around who bravely blocked Hyuga Kaze, directly exchanging blows with him.
Tactically, it was entirely aimed at the Hyuga clan.
"Eight Trigrams Empty Palm"
Under the Root's siege, Hyuga Kaze slid through the mud as if it were flat ground, dodging while unleashing invisible chakra shockwaves that broke through the fire dragons and wind balls, sending the Root ninjas flying.
This time, Hyuga Kaze showed no mercy. The Root ninja who was hit had his chest caved in, and blood gushed out in the air. He lost his life before he even hit the ground.
The Root ninjas were not frightened by the tragic state of their comrades. They charged forward silently with cold expressions, using their lives to block and wear down Hyuga Kaze.
Dodging the kunai shot from behind, Hyuga Kaze casually shattered the heart of the Root Ninja blocking his path with a single palm strike, and continued strolling leisurely towards the clan's territory.
Heh, launching an attack from that perspective that should have been lost, huh? As expected, the Hyuga clan's information was leaked long ago.
Fire Release: Dragon Fire Technique x2
Just as Hyuga Kaze dodged an attack, two more Root ninjas emerged from behind a large tree beside him and unleashed scorching, swift fire rays at him.
Hyuga Kaze didn't try to withstand the attack head-on; he dodged the ray in a flash, leaving only the large tree behind him pierced by it.
Just as Hyuga Kaze steadied himself after dodging the flames, the ground in front of him suddenly cracked open, and a Root ninja emerged, making a peculiar hand gesture towards him.
"Secret Technique: Mind Transference"
Following the direction of Root Ninja's gesture, an invisible and intangible spiritual force suddenly rushed into Hyuga Kaze's mind, as if a force was surging to suppress Hyuga Kaze's spirit and occupy his mental world.
However, before this spiritual force could even exert its power, Hinata Kaze's inner mirror in his dantian suddenly unleashed its power. It gathered a vast spiritual force, treating the invading spiritual energy as mere waste and dregs, crushing and expelling it from his body.
All of this happened in less than a second. The three Root ninjas who were closest to him thought they had succeeded and rushed over to capture Hyuga Kaze.
Then, the Root Ninja from the mountain family let out a shrill scream, then bled from all seven orifices, collapsed to the ground, and completely lost consciousness.
Although the body that had fallen to the ground was still breathing, it looked completely lifeless, with a mechanical and stiff appearance.
"Eight Trigrams, Sixty-Four Palms"
Hyuga Kaze didn't let any of the approaching Root ninjas escape, his fingers raining down on their pressure points, shattering their internal organs.
"Wind Release: Great Breakthrough"
"Lightning Escape - Earth Walk"
The Root ninjas, their minds already filled with killing and obedience, remained unaffected and continued their charge.
Since Earth Release ninjutsu and Mind Transfer Technique failed to control Hyuga Kaze, they switched to Lightning Release ninjutsu, aiming to make it impossible for Hyuga Kaze to move an inch before swarming in and annihilating him completely.
Despite being surrounded by enemies, Hyuga Kaze remained calm and composed, even using the Reverse Technique to negate attacks that were unavoidable.
Time passed slowly, and nearly twenty members of the Root organization had been killed by Hyuga Kaze, yet no progress had been made.
"Earth Release: The Decapitation Technique of the Heart"
A Root ninja attempted to attack from the ground, but after Hyuga Kaze dodged, he actually lunged forward and was predictably killed by Gentle Fist.
boom!
At the same moment Root Ninja died, a powerful flame exploded from his body, engulfing Hyuga Kaze within the blast radius.
Explosive tags!
Hinata Kaze seemed caught off guard by the sudden attack, reacting a little slower and landing somewhat disheveled after barely dodging it.
"Secret Technique: The Art of Disrupting the Mind and Body"
"Secret Technique: Shadow Binding Technique"
The moment Hinata Kaze landed, an even more concealed and refined spiritual power surged into Hinata Kaze's body. At the same time, on the dark ground, a shadow silently spread towards Hinata Kaze.
