Chapter 172 The Scythe is Powerless



"Earth escape. Earth spear"

"Escape. Earth flow wall"

Faced with the attack that came from the sky, both Kakuzu and Orochimaru used Earth Release ninjutsu to resist.

At first glance, the streak of light seemed insignificant, but midway through it suddenly split into thousands of tiny points of light that fell rapidly. Each point of light carried a heart-stirring power, weighing as much as a thousand pounds. Whether it was Kakuzu's Earth Release: Hardening Technique or the earthen wall summoned by Orochimaru, they all crumbled upon contact with those tiny points of light.

"Damn it, what is this thing?"

Kakuzu staggered back several meters, clutching the large holes smashed into his chest, and stared in horror at the sky.

Orochimaru reacted even faster, dragging Sasuke along as soon as possible, and then he also looked up at the sky.

A figure dressed in snow-white robes descended from the sky, stepping on clouds at an ever-increasing speed, his descent creating waves of air. Behind him, white clouds drifted and the bright moon hung high, yet they seemed merely to serve as a backdrop to that figure.

Seeing the ripples of air spreading outwards, Orochimaru and Kakuzu both felt the immense power contained within, and each of them was shocked and quickly retreated a distance.

boom!

The white-clad figure moved faster and faster, landing with a surge of air that churned the ground, creating waves of dust that swept away the original battlefield. Trees where the remaining members of the Dark Guard and Root forces were hiding were also overturned and sent flying by the shockwave, instantly filling the scene with dust.

Orochimaru, Kakuzu, and the others wisely continued to retreat when the shockwave hit them, and by the time the dust settled, they were about 200 meters away from the original battlefield.

After the smoke and dust cleared, Orochimaru looked towards the center and saw a handsome and dashing young man standing there. His clothes were pure white and flowing, and he had white pupils. His brows were as light as snow, yet he possessed an air of arrogance that looked down upon the world.

Roll your eyes!

The Hyuga clan actually has such a master; it seems I've been too negligent in my understanding of the Hyuga clan's bloodline and taijutsu. Orochimaru secretly wondered, but a faint smile graced his face as he didn't rush to speak.

On the other side, Hidan and Kakuzu, perhaps used to their immortality, remained arrogant despite the shocking appearance of Hyuga Kaze.

Hidan arrogantly demanded, "Who are you, and why are you interfering in our affairs?"

Unexpectedly, Hinata Kaze's attitude became even more arrogant. He stood with his hands behind his back, looking relaxed, but his eyes held a domineering air.

"What do you want to do to my brother?!"

When Hyuga Kaze spoke, he used the Eight Trigrams Palm chakra circulation technique. The sound waves carried a mysterious power that roared in Orochimaru and the others' ears, making them feel as shocked as if the Sage of Six Paths had drunk a mouthful of wine.

Kakuzu, being a seasoned bounty hunter, didn't speak immediately. Instead, he sized up Hyuga Kaze. Upon seeing the Byakugan and Hyuga Kaze's smooth forehead, Kakuzu became excited, muttering, "The Byakugan of the main family is very valuable. I remember the bounty was over ten million ryo."

He was interrupted halfway through his rambling by Hinata Kaze's words, and glared angrily at Hinata Kaze for cutting off his money-making scheme.

Hinata Kaze's hearing was incredibly sharp, and he immediately heard Kakuzu's words. However, before he could lash out, Hidan was enraged by Hinata Kaze's question.

"Damn it, go and repent to the evil god!"

Hidan charged forward swiftly, wielding his March Scythe. The cold light aimed directly at Hyuga Kaze's head, the force of which caused the air to whistle and roar.

"Hmph, who's your brother? You're the kind of guy who shows up once and then disappears. The help you gave me before, I'll just repay the favor later!"

Sasuke had barely recovered from Hyuga Kaze's voice when he couldn't help but retort, but no one noticed Sasuke's red-faced rebuttal because of Hidan's actions.

Although his performance in the original story was terrible, and his use of skills was wildly off-target, Hyuga Kaze personally observed that Hidan's strength and speed were not much worse than Might Guy's in his normal state, and he was also quite good at hand-to-hand combat. It's just that this guy was too focused on the so-called glory of the Jashin and sacrifice, relying on his so-called immortality to charge around recklessly, and his scythe didn't have much skill involved.

"bite!"

As Hidan observed, his scythe had already reached Hyuga Kaze. Hyuga Kaze stood motionless with his hands behind his back, but a circular energy shield with a radius of three meters suddenly appeared in front of him. Hidan's scythe struck the energy shield as if splitting a mountain, but instead of penetrating it, the force of the impact caused his hand to tremble violently.

That's impossible!

This was the shared sentiment of Orochimaru, Kakuzu, and the others. Skilled individuals recognize skilled individuals; they had all witnessed the sheer power of Hidan's scythe swing, making it all the more unacceptable to see his attack blocked so easily.

"That's impossible!"

Hidan refused to believe his scythe was powerless. He roared and began wildly hacking and slashing with his crescent scythe. But his attacks were destined to be futile. After a flurry of slashes, the energy shield in front of Hyuga Kaze remained unmoved, while the force of the rebound caused the blade of Hidan's scythe to curl up.

"This power, this power can definitely help me get revenge!"

Seeing Hyuga Kaze's performance, Sasuke was so excited that his body trembled slightly. If he could master this power, would he be able to kill Uchiha Itachi and avenge his clan and parents?

Seeing Sasuke's excited expression, Kabuto quickly advised, "Sasuke-kun, that man is extremely dangerous. He treated you like a brother in Konoha, but he never offered you any guidance."

He won't teach you that power; only Lord Orochimaru is your best choice.

"Hmph," Sasuke snorted arrogantly, "You don't need to keep emphasizing that I'm a vengeful person. Whoever can give me the power to help me take revenge, I will follow."

On the other side, Hidan refused to give up even with his scythe blade chipped, and continued to attack, completely exhausting Hyuga Kaze's patience.

"You've been insolent for far too long!"

Hyuga Kaze flicked his right finger, unleashing a highly concentrated beam of chakra that struck Hidan's crescent-shaped scythe directly. The force sent the scythe flying, twisting into a jumbled mess in mid-air before being tossed far away. After knocking the scythe away, the remaining chakra beam continued its impact, creating a gaping hole in Hidan's chest.

Lightning Release: False Darkness

Seeing Hidan injured, Kakuzu could no longer stand by and watch. He summoned another mask and spat out a sharp, lightning spear from the mouth of the Earth Grudge: Lightning Release Mask Monster, which shot straight toward Hyuga Kaze's heart.

"Ha, a weak attack."

Seeing the terrifyingly powerful lightning spear charging towards him, Hyuga Kaze sneered disdainfully, remaining unmoved. To Orochimaru and the others' expectant gaze, the lightning spear struck the aura shield in front of Hyuga Kaze, only to be completely absorbed and neutralized by a vortex that formed within the shield, without even causing a ripple.
