The cold wind howled, and the setting sun was as red as blood. The once bustling and prosperous Konoha Village was now empty and full of ruins and debris, looking like a ghost town.
Hyuga Kaze, along with Kurenai and Tsunade, instantly teleported to the former Hokage Building, completely oblivious to the desolate ruins and rubble of Konoha. Compared to Konoha, the soft, delicate body in his arms was far more interesting.
"Yes, Konoha has much less trash now, and it looks much quieter."
Hinata Kaze casually told a hellish joke, and after hearing Hinata Kaze's words, Kurenai Yuhi and Tsunade both stared at him with angry eyes.
As a transmigrator, Hyuga Kaze didn't have much affection for Konoha, but Kurenai and Tsunade were completely different. Although they had been deeply hurt by Hiruzen Sarutobi, their feelings for Konoha couldn't be easily erased.
However, Hyuga Kaze was thick-skinned and completely ignored their angry glares. Tsunade and the others had no choice but to turn and stare at Pain in the air, their expressions extremely vigilant and wary.
Pain was equally on high alert. The giant palm print that had suddenly appeared was almost on par with his Shinra Tensei, and it had even forced him to increase his chakra output, resulting in greater overall consumption.
With his eyes fixed on Hyuga Kaze and his group, Pain's eyes were full of vigilance as he slowly descended from the sky to a distance of about fifty meters in front of Hyuga Kaze.
When Pain landed, he was still swaying slightly, clearly indicating that he had exhausted too much chakra. Even so, he quickly regained his footing and confronted Hyuga Kaze and the others.
"Hoo hoo hoo, I never expected there would be such a master in the ninja world! And Lady Tsunade, it's been a long time. As for the person next to you, is he also a ninja from Konoha?"
Judging from your actions just now, it doesn't seem like you're trying to protect Konoha.
After landing, Pain took a few quick breaths. It seemed that the terrible state of Konoha had calmed him down a bit, and with Hyuga Kaze displaying his powerful abilities, Pain's attitude had become much calmer.
Glancing at the exhausted and weakened Pain, Hyuga Kaze did not take advantage of the enemy's weakness to attack. Instead, he said meaningfully, "Heh, the waters of the ninja world run deep. The hidden masters will definitely exceed your expectations. Even if Madara Uchiha is resurrected one day, or the progenitor of chakra appears, you shouldn't be surprised."
After saying that, Hyuga Kaze didn't even look at Pain, who was frowning in thought. He turned his head and glanced at the ruins of the building to his left, and said calmly, "Come out, Hiruzen Sarutobi. There's no need to hide anymore. Your little tricks are obvious to us."
The surroundings remained calm after the sound faded, but Hyuga Kaze's gaze seemed tangible, lingering on certain areas and transmitting a heavy pressure directly to them. In the end, Hiruzen Sarutobi and the others could no longer hide.
Rumble
Suddenly, the pile of rubble collapsed, and Hiruzen Sarutobi and a group of Konoha ninja emerged from beneath the rubble and from various nooks and crannies.
Although these ninjas escaped death, they clearly suffered serious injuries, with many covered in blood. Compared to the nearly two thousand Konoha ninjas who had gradually gathered, only less than fifty remained, and they all looked extremely miserable and destitute.
Hiruzen Sarutobi stood at the front of the group, forming a triangle with Hyuga Kaze and Pain. His face was horribly distorted at that moment.
"Hyuga Kaze, it was you, you bastard, who attacked from behind just now, causing Konoha to..."
You, your eyes!
Hiruzen Sarutobi was about to unleash a torrent of curses, but the golden eyes of Hyuga Kaze, which seemed to contain the flickering light of countless stars, momentarily stunned him.
That's right, Hyuga Kaze has now revealed the true form of his Tenseigan, and with his current strength, he no longer cares about such things.
Hyuga Kaze completely ignored Hiruzen Sarutobi's accusations and astonishment. Instead, he turned to look at the ruins on the other side, where there used to be several secret warehouses of Konoha Village.
"You're such a bastard, sir. You didn't let us enjoy ourselves. We have to avoid this terrifying pressure just to go out and collect supplies."
"Don't you ever think about the clones still outside when you're fighting?"
In the direction Hinata Kaze was pointing, several Hinata Kaze clones emerged from the ground carrying a pile of scrolls. Although they complained, the clones quickly approached, handed the scrolls to Hinata Kaze, and then disappeared.
Staring blankly at the scene before him, Hiruzen Sarutobi felt like he was about to vomit blood.
"Hyuga Kaze, you were also born in Konoha. When Konoha is in trouble, not only do you not help, but you also take advantage of the situation!"
Hyuga Kaze was completely unconcerned by Hiruzen Sarutobi's accusations. He turned around and smiled as he explained to Tsunade and the others.
"Since these supplies will be damaged in battle anyway, I might as well make use of them. It's better than leaving them to those decaying old guys."
Furthermore, with these supplies, I will rebuild our village into a new home even better than Konoha, and this will be our home from now on.
Hyuga Kaze's words made Hiruzen Sarutobi turn ashen with anger, but Tsunade and the others relaxed considerably.
"Hyuga Kaze, I know some information about you. According to intelligence, you were a peace-loving person when you governed the Land of Snow."
Pain stared at Hyuga Kaze with an arrogant expression that screamed "chuunibyou" (a Japanese term for someone with delusions of grandeur).
"Do you want to join the Akatsuki organization and follow in the footsteps of the gods? Our organization is also pursuing long-term peace in the ninja world."
"You have the ability. As long as you join the organization and contribute to the peace of the ninja world, God can allow you to retain the Land of Snow's territory and even have a place behind God!"
"Bastards, you dare to call yourselves peace lovers!"
Hiruzen Sarutobi swayed unsteadily, his expression filled with grief and indignation.
"You two bastards have caused such great losses to Konoha, and you still have the nerve to say such things!"
Pain glanced coldly at the impotently furious Hiruzen Sarutobi, not even bothering to reply, and continued to stare intently at Hyuga Kaze.
Hyuga Kaze was too lazy to pay attention to Hiruzen Sarutobi. He looked up at the sky and then smiled at Pain, saying, "A god? The chaotic ninja world does need a god, but that god can only be me! But that's not important to you right now. Your real target and enemy have arrived."
"If you survive this time, come to the Land of Snow and discuss the Dao with me!"
Almost the instant Hinata Kaze finished speaking, Pain's expression suddenly changed, and with a "poof," he vanished.
"Now it's time to let you guys vent your anger."
Hyuga Kaze smiled slightly at Tsunade and Kurenai Yuhi beside him, then turned around and slapped Sarutobi Hiruzen, who was secretly retreating, nearly a hundred meters into the air, turning him into a cloud of white mist!
Without pausing for a moment, Hinata Kaze turned to look at another pile of building ruins.
"Come out, Hiruzen Sarutobi! These little tricks won't work. You don't think you can get away, do you? Now it's time to settle your scores!"
