Naruto: By lying low and hiding, he eventually became the leader of the Legendary Sannin.

The other three did not stop either. After quickly forming hand seals, a fire dragon and two huge wind blades instantly condensed in the air and rushed towards Hiashi.

These are all highly experienced Jonin, whose abilities can be discerned from their attacks.

Their attacks did not rush towards Hiashi all at once, but rather came in an orderly fashion from all directions towards Hiashi.

The different attacks blocked all possible escape routes for Hijikata, instantly enveloping him in an attack.

For Riji, who has a 360-degree view, this is something he is naturally aware of.

However, despite the barrage of attacks, Hiashi showed no sign of panic.

He took a deep breath, his hands began to move around his body, and his feet began to turn along with his hands. A large amount of chakra was released from the pressure points all over his body.

In just one second, the previously still standing Sun Foot transformed into a giant circular whirlwind.

This is the Hyuga clan's absolute defense—the Eight Trigrams Palm Rotation!

To the disbelief of the villagers, the fire dragons and wind blades, upon contact with the circular whirlwind, were struck back at an even faster speed than when they had left.

Faced with this unexpected attack, the Jonin remained calm and quickly used their own methods to defuse it one by one.

A few seconds later, the spinning Japanese foot finally stopped.

At this moment, the puppeteer, who had immediately stopped the two puppets after he used the Reversal Technique, twitched his fingers slightly and once again controlled the two puppets to rush towards Hiashi.

With the spider on top and the centipede below, the two puppets worked together to surround Hiashi.

Even Hiashi Hyuga clearly couldn't use the Rejuvenation Technique repeatedly in such a short time.

Faced with the attack from the two puppets, Hiashi had no choice but to push off with his foot to dodge.

However, just as he jumped into the air, the puppeteer who was controlling the two puppets suddenly broke the chakra threads.

He swiftly drew a kunai from his waist, his body transforming into a black shadow as he instantly appeared behind Hiashi.

The Japanese team was also taken aback by this move.

Puppet techniques are not a unique ninjutsu of Sunagakure.

Although this ninjutsu was developed and popularized by the Second Kazekage, Shamon, in fact, many ninjas from various ninja villages have now learned the puppet technique.

But no matter who it is, for a puppeteer, the puppet in their hands is their most reliable and most important weapon.

Hiashi, who had previously fought against puppeteers, was well aware of this.

Therefore, Hiashi was quite surprised by the puppeteer's decisive act of abandoning the puppet after failing to strike.

Just as he was slightly taken aback, the puppeteer approached him from behind, holding a kunai.

An excited glint flashed in the puppeteer's eyes as the sharp kunai in his hand was about to pierce Hiashi's back.

All they wanted was Hiashi's disdainful look.

Whether Riji himself lives or dies is not a concern for them.

Even if they killed Hiashi on the spot and immediately gouged out his eyes, they would still get what they wanted.

As for why he didn't kill Hiashi while he was still in Konoha...

Nonsense, the ninjas of Konoha are not useless.

If the smell of blood were truly present, how could the ninjas in the inn not notice something amiss?

Hiashi's eyes sharpened as he sensed the chill emanating from the kunai behind him.

Instead of turning around to retaliate, he suddenly held his breath.

With his palms facing backward, Hiashi suddenly unleashed a large amount of chakra from his hands.

Bang!

Visible blue chakra emanated from Hiashi's hands as he charged towards the puppeteer behind him.

The puppeteer was still basking in the joy of his impending success when he suddenly felt an irresistible force coming from the front.

Without any resistance, the puppeteer, struck head-on by this attack, immediately transformed into a black shadow.

It flew backwards into the dense forest behind it like a cannonball.

After crashing through more than a dozen towering trees, his body finally came to a stop.

He was lying on the ground, clearly unconscious.

This is the Gentle Fist of the Hyuga clan: One Strike Body.

He extracted a large amount of chakra in one go and used his hands to unleash a gentle fist.

Under the reaction force, Hiashi, like an arrow released from a bow, charged towards Washino, who was at the forefront.

Although Hiashi is now a Jonin.

But he knew very well that he had no chance of winning against several equally experienced Jonin.

The only way to win is to defeat the enemy leader directly.

So without the slightest fear, he charged straight at Washino.

While he was in mid-air, he was ready for battle.

Just as he landed in front of Washino, he slammed his right palm down hard on Washino's chest.

Bagua - Mountain-Breaking Strike.

A powerful strike delivered using soft fist techniques can be as effective as a hard fist.

Hiashi's hand swept through the air, creating a piercing whistling sound, and he charged towards Washino like a swift eagle.

However, to Hiashi's surprise, Washino Hajime did not react at all to his fierce attack.

To Hiashi's disbelief, his palm struck Washino's heart with pinpoint accuracy.

Hiashi was dumbfounded as he stared at Washino, who was spitting out blood.

No, why don't you hide?

Chapter 119 I killed him, what do you say we do about it?

"Gentle Fist," despite having the word "gentle" in its name.

But its destructive power is far greater than it appears.

Moreover, Hiashi's attack was not an ordinary Gentle Fist, but rather the Eight Trigrams Mountain-Breaking Strike, which gathered a massive amount of chakra.

Unfortunately, Hiashi didn't notice that shortly after the battle began, Washino, who had been standing still, became unusually calm.

At first, the Japanese team did not feel that there was anything wrong with it.

After all, as a leader, it is the default script for every similar scenario to send the minions in first at the start of the battle.

A leader always needs to have a certain air of authority.

However, because he was caught up in a fierce battle, even Hiashi, who possessed the Byakugan, did not notice this.

Shortly after the battle began, Washino's condition clearly started to deteriorate.

If you stood in front of him, you would notice that Washino's pupils were unfocused.

Although he was still standing there, he looked as if he were sleepwalking.

It was precisely because of this oversight that Hiashi's move, which was originally intended as a test, so easily struck Washino's heart.

Even the attackers, Japan, never expected this situation.

That's the current leader of the martial arts faction in Hidden Cloud Village.

Even if he wasn't as powerful as Kinkaku and Ginkaku, even a fool would know that this was definitely not an ordinary Jonin.

Logically speaking, even if Hiashi broke through the encirclement and came to him, the two should have exchanged at least dozens of moves to test each other.

But why is this thing standing there like a ghost, completely motionless?

Seeing Washino Hajime spitting out blood, Hiashi's heart sank.

He was well aware of the power of that attack.

Gentle Fist is a style of martial arts that inflicts damage from within the human body.

What's more, he just used the Mountain-Shattering Strike, which was powered by a massive amount of chakra.

Although Washino Hajime appeared to have no other injuries besides spitting out blood, at this time...

But the heart beneath Hiashi's palm had already been shattered into minced meat.

After suffering a fatal blow, Washino's unfocused pupils finally regained their focus.

He looked down at Hiashi's hand pressed against his heart, and murmured in pain:

"This...is impossible..."

Before he could finish speaking, he coughed up another mouthful of blood and collapsed, his face pale and weak.

Seeing Washino Hajime's death, Hiashi felt a sudden panic.

He knew very well what killing Washino and Kumogakure meant.

The death of such a figure in one's own hands could very well mean that the two countries, which have just signed a peace agreement, will go to war again.

In an instant, blood, flames, and dead corpses appeared.

All sorts of tragic events that occurred because of the start of the war flashed through Hitachi's mind.

Thinking of the consequences, Hiashi's face turned pale instantly.

Having grown up in the Hyuga family, which adheres to traditional values, he was filled with confusion and regret.

Although the Hyuga clan is somewhat arrogant, they are also the clan that takes the most pride in Konoha.

The thought that he had led Konoha from peace into war was a huge blow to Hiashi.

On the other side, several Jonin who had finally recovered from Hiashi's Heavenly Reversal attack also witnessed Washino falling down.

Shock, disbelief, anger and a range of other emotions rose in everyone's minds.

However, they were, after all, seasoned Jonin who had fought on many battlefields.

After a brief moment of distraction, they quickly regained their composure and rushed towards Hiashi, who was standing there dumbfounded.
