In the blink of an eye, the Root ninja who chose close-quarters combat had already rushed in front of Hyuga Kaze and slashed down hard at Hyuga Kaze's neck.
Meanwhile, the other Root Ninja quickly retreated, took out a signal flare, and prepared to throw it.
Seeing this, Hinata Kaze slightly turned his body and slid backward in an arc as if stepping on clouds. This step, seemingly slow but actually fast, not only avoided a close-range sword but also dodged several shuriken blocking his direction.
Immediately, Hyuga Kaze flashed and appeared behind the second Root ninja. The air currents in his right palm surged, forming an invisible aura in the air, drawing back the signal flare that had just left his hand.
Then, Hyuga Kaze made a fist in his palm, and the signal flare was crushed into powder by the invisible air pressure in mid-air.
The conversation, though seemingly long, actually lasted less than two seconds. Hyuga Kaze dealt with the signal flare and immediately made another move. He pressed his left palm forward into the air, and a pale blue palm print shot out with incredible speed, covering a distance of three feet before striking Root Ninja hard in the back. The blow sent him flying several meters, his back deeply dented, as he crashed into a tree so large that it would take two people to encircle him. He spat out a mouthful of blood mist and then collapsed in a sorry state.
As if completely unaffected by gravity, Hyuga Kaze did not relax at all. His figure swayed again, leaving behind afterimages as he swept through the air like a ghost.
As Hyuga Kaze passed by the heavily injured Root ninja lying on the ground, he touched the ninja's head with his toe, using his hidden strength to shatter the ninja's brains, and then pounced on the last Root ninja like a hawk.
The Root ninja had barely turned around when he saw his comrade dead. Before he could unleash any ninjutsu, a ghostly figure rushed towards him with a gust of wind.
Hinata Kaze, with his feet moving in accordance with the Baguazhang footwork, moved like a dragon, his palms shaking heaven and earth, unleashing a powerful strike, Gentu Qianshan Zhen. Gen Shinobu felt as if he were being suppressed by a mountain peak, his entire body being squeezed and locked by a force of millions of pounds. He immediately had difficulty breathing and his bones ached. Before he could make any move, he was struck on the head by a palm and fell to the ground silently.
After successfully landing the attack, Hinata Kaze felt something was off. Without even needing to activate his Byakugan, guided by his keen martial arts senses, he rushed straight to a large tree on his left.
Sure enough, a disheveled Root ninja, his clothes tattered, was hiding behind a tree, preparing to fire a signal flare. It seemed he had used a substitution jutsu at the last moment to escape a fatal blow.
Hyuga Kaze remained silent, his palms drawing in wind and thunder, causing countless vortexes and arcs of lightning to flash in the surrounding air. He first blocked the enemy's space to maneuver and dodge, preventing them from firing signal flares, before slowly approaching step by step.
Even with the Root ninja training that had extinguished all emotions, they couldn't help but feel a chill at this moment, for the enemy before them far exceeded all the common ninja knowledge they had ever encountered.
Konoha Village is not without taijutsu masters. Might Guy, Might Guy, and even the Hyuga clan are all specialists in taijutsu. As representatives of hard fist and soft fist, they are indeed very strong, but they have not shown such dazzling and bizarre techniques.
With speed, attack power, and control all at once, he can silently and effortlessly combine taijutsu and ninjutsu without using hand seals, giving people a sense of oppression from all sides.
I really don't know who this shameless guy is who disregards his status as a master and transforms himself into Lord Danzo. It's a pity I can't leave any information for Lord Danzo...
Before the ninja opposite could even begin to think, Hyuga unleashed his Wind Palm, striking out with a gust of wind that instantly knocked the signal flare from his hand to the ground.
The ensuing battle was unremarkable, consisting almost entirely of Hinata Kaze showcasing his skills and testing his abilities.
Within just two minutes, Hyuga Kaze changed various offensive and defensive tactics, trying out all the skills he knew.
The Yin-Yang Two Elements Reversal Qi Shield deflects enemy attacks, boasting astonishing defensive power. Ninjutsu and sword strikes are completely useless, and it doesn't even wear down the first layer of the Qi Shield.
The Xun wind flows for thousands of miles, and with every gesture, it gathers a vortex of air, creating a spatial force field that slows down enemies, hinders their attacks, and simultaneously increases its own speed.
The Thunderous Universe Net is a network of lightning that seals off space, trapping enemies like tiny insects on a spider web, unable to break free or escape. It can sense the movements of enemies within its range and entangle them with continuous electric shocks, paralyzing them while inflicting massive damage.
When the True Immortal of the Lake was trapped, the ground within a radius of tens of meters instantly turned into a viscous swamp. Even using chakra made it difficult to stand, and even the chakra gathered under the feet was absorbed, eventually causing people to sink into the swamp and be completely submerged.
The force of the palm strike is like ten thousand rivers flowing down, unstoppable and unavoidable.
...
Under the relentless barrage of Eight Trigrams Palm techniques from Hyuga Kaze, the Root ninja had no desire to win; they struggled in vain to survive, hoping for a chance to leave behind some information.
The Instantaneous Movement Technique makes one's speed less than half that of the enemy.
The substitution technique was exposed in the blink of an eye, and was even intercepted by the enemy in mid-air.
In swordsmanship, one is either pulled away or deflected.
Wind Release: Great Breakthrough. The wind ball he spews out not only fails to strike the enemy, but is even absorbed by the enemy's whirlwind, further increasing his attack power.
The Fire Release: Flame Bullet technique hadn't even traveled far before it was shattered and extinguished by a palm strike, proving completely ineffective.
Even Root ninjas can despair!
Feeling that the skill test was almost over, Hinata Kaze, worried about being discovered, instantly increased his speed and struck the enemy, who was already powerless to fight back, with a thunderous palm strike, shattering his heart.
With all the enemies in front of him eliminated, Hinata Kaze finally felt a little relieved. He activated his Byakugan and used his Martial Arts Intuition to carefully observe the surroundings, confirming that there was no sign of human activity within a two-kilometer radius.
Hmm, it should be fine now. Even if that old monkey saw it through the crystal ball, it's no big deal. I am the dignified "Pot Shadow" and "Darkness of the Ninja World". What's wrong with executing a few traitors from Root? If you're so capable, Hiruzen Sarutobi, come and fight me!
Having mentally prepared himself, Hyuga Kaze used his palm force to pull the three Root ninjas and retrieved their weapon pouches and other supplies. As someone deeply influenced by countless transmigration novels, how could he not know that if you don't loot the corpses after a battle, the battle is wasted?
It was time to clean up the mess. Hinata Kaze thought for a moment, then activated his Void Walk skill. In the blink of an eye, 10 seconds had passed, and Hinata Kaze could enter the interdimensional space at any time.
Before entering the interlayer of space, Hyuga Kaze first completely destroyed the head of the first dead Root ninja, and then put the corpse of the last Root ninja, whose body was mostly intact, into the training room space.
Then, Hyuga Kaze simultaneously unleashed the power of earth-shattering wind and fire with both palms. The next moment, a ball of fire and thunder power exploded, igniting trees and forming raging flames. Thunder and explosions resounded through the night sky, trees within a radius of more than fifty meters collapsed, the ground trembled, and conspicuous waves of mud surged and expanded in all directions. The battlefield had been completely destroyed.
Then, Hinata Kaze flashed into the interlayer of space, leaving behind a mournful accusation as sharp as a cuckoo's cry, before disappearing from the spot.
"Hiruzen Sarutobi, you hypocritical and insidious bastard! Not only did you deliberately arrange dangerous missions to frame me, but you also assassinated and exterminated my Senju clan! You will surely get your retribution!"
The voice seemed to contain endless grievances and indignation, and with the blessing of chakra, it resounded throughout most of Konoha Village.
Soon, the entire Hidden Leaf Village was alarmed!
