Simultaneous Transmigration: We Level Up Alone Across Multiple Worlds

Chapter 85 Severing Ties Between Relatives and Friends

Now, let's go see our beloved fellow clansmen.

Hinata Dust pushed open the shoji door. Dusk was setting in Kirigakure as evening was drawing to a close, and the distant mountains swallowed the last rays of sunset.

I checked the Divine Might pendant on my chest.

The Flying Thunder God's cross-shaped light flashed, and the Flying Thunder God mark in the dense forest outside Konoha Village was still in the same old place.

When Hyuga Chen landed, he broke a dead branch. His Golden Ring Reincarnation Eyes silently activated, allowing his vision to penetrate several miles of forest.

Kakashi's side should have already started making a fuss, but the mobilization of the Anbu has not yet spread to the point of imposing martial law on the entire village.

The Third Hokage was probably still weighing the options: someone had broken into the village and taken one of Kakashi's eyes, doing so cleanly and without leaving any clues. If he rashly sounded the alarm, it would only make him a laughingstock among the other ninja villages.

There's still time.

Hyuga Dust did not use the main entrance.

The Hyuga clan's territory occupies most of the street, with the main residence in the center and the branch families' courtyards radiating outwards from the main residence.

The Golden Ring Reincarnation Eye locked onto the second floor of the main house.

After Hyuga Hiashi's death, the main family put forward an old man named Hyuga Keisuke to temporarily serve as the clan head, a man with one foot in the grave.

At this moment, the old man's chakra is on the second floor, sitting in the Japanese-style room where Hiashi lived, and the scrolls he is reviewing are the ones left behind by Hiashi.

There are two guards from the branch family standing at the main gate around the main house, and a maid cleaning the first-floor corridor. The layout remains unchanged.

Hinata Dust was lifted up by the force beneath his feet, silently ascending to the second floor.

The shoji paper door reflected the hunched profile of Hyuga Keisuke, his spine bent.

The power of the Golden Ring Reincarnation Eye pierced through the paper door, condensing into a thin chakra thread in the indoor air, which then pierced the chakra acupoint on the back of the old man's neck.

Illusion activated.

The Golden Ring Reincarnation Eye had no chance against the Byakugan's suppressive power. The old man's self-awareness was compressed to its depths. His aged fingers loosened from the scroll, and he stood up stiffly, walked to the communication cabinet, opened the drawer, and took out a blank command paper.

The same command was written using the unique chakra code of the Hyuga clan.

The acting clan head urgently summoned the entire clan to assemble in the main hall of the residence. No one was allowed to be absent and the matter was not to be disclosed to outsiders.

After arranging for the guards outside to escort him out, he quietly sat back down at the low table, his hands resting on his knees, his pupils empty and cloudy.

Hinata Chen climbed in through the window and stood in the shadows by the door. His black hair was tied back, and the golden rings in his blue eyes slightly contracted in the dim room. The pair of deep blue dragon horns on his forehead curved upwards along his hairline, and the golden veins on the surface of his horns pulsated slightly.

After doing all this, Hyuga Keisuke quietly sat back down at the low table, placing his hands on his knees.

Hinata Chen climbed in through the window and stood in the shadows by the door. His black hair fell to his shoulders, and the golden rings in his blue eyes slightly contracted in the dim room. The pair of deep blue dragon horns on his forehead curved upwards along his hairline, and the golden veins on the surface of his horns pulsated slightly.

Hyuga Keisuke was conscious, but he was helpless against Hyuga Jin's actions.

About half an incense stick's time.

Footsteps began to be heard outside the courtyard gate.

The first to arrive were several elders of the main family who lived near the main residence. They were dressed in dark kimonos with the Hyuga clan crest belt around their waists.

When they entered, they saw Hyuga Keisuke sitting in the main seat of the main hall, so they took their seats in turn. No one noticed that there was an extra figure in the shadows behind and to the side of the main seat.

The family members who had separated from the main house arrived one after another from the outer courtyards. After entering the house, they consciously stood at the back of the main hall, and no one looked up.

Several young children, their hands held by adults, were led to a corner of the main hall and made to squat down, still half asleep.

Hinata Hyuga stood beside a pillar on the main branch of the clan, her fingers gripping her sleeve, her pupils trembling slightly.

Everyone's here.

The elders exchanged glances, and the one in the lead cleared his throat, about to speak.

Hinata Dust emerged from the shadows.

He stopped in the middle of the main hall, his golden pupils scanning from left to right. The elders of the main family were seated, while the members of the branch families stood; almost simultaneously, everyone's eyes rolled back in disdain.

In their vision, the chakra was a vast vortex that was almost black with blue.

"Hyuga Dust!"

""

The leading elder recognized him, his lips twitched downwards, and he said matter-of-factly, "Since you have already left Konoha, and have sneaked back to your clan's territory tonight, that's perfect—hand over your eyes, and this matter can be let go."

The main hall was quiet for a moment.

A mocking smile appeared on Hinata Chen's lips.

The elder frowned, about to speak again, when Hyuga Chen raised his right hand and gently pressed down with his five fingers pointing downwards.

The repulsive force was released from the palms, and the pressure suddenly increased several times over, causing everyone's knees to bend at the same moment.

The elder of the main family was pressed down from the cushion onto the tatami mat, his cheek pressed against the rush, his mouth unable to open.

Those who had separated from the family knelt on the ground, with their elbows and knees touching the ground at the same time.

The children couldn't even cry out; their little faces turned purple from holding their breath.

Hinata lay curled up on the floor under the pillar, her small body pressed down. Neji gritted his teeth, his fingers digging into the gaps in the tatami mat, and forced himself to lift his head. He looked over from the side of the branch family, his eyes filled with bulging veins and rage.

"I can't be bothered to talk to you, you're not worthy!"

Hinata Dust did not look at him.

The Golden Ring Reincarnation Eye scanned the area again to make sure nothing was missed.

The old and the young, from the main family and the branch families, were all pressed to the ground by the repulsive force, unable to move.

The divine pendant on his chest glowed faintly.

The Divine Might Space tore open a slit in the center of the main hall.

It was a dark red vortex expanding downwards, with black triangular dart patterns wrapped around its edges, and it was wider than the cracks he usually crossed.

The center of the vortex was aligned with the floor of the main hall, and the absorption range gradually expanded, starting from the outer branches.

Swallow it piece by piece.

One by one, the members of the branch family disappeared, and the elders of the main family were dragged off their cushions. When Hinata was swept in, her body shrank into an even smaller ball. Neji held on until the very end, when he was dragged into the dark red abyss.

Hyuga Keisuke remained seated in the main seat, his body motionless under the control of the illusion, until the edge of the vortex touched his hunched back, at which point he trembled slightly and was swallowed up.

The main hall was empty.

The candlelight was still flickering, and a few torn pieces were scattered on the tatami mat.

Hinata Chen walked out of the main hall and stood on the stone steps in front of the main house.

The golden ring of the reincarnation eye swept across the entire street of the Hyuga clan's territory.

The streetlights on the outskirts were still on, but the shops in the adjacent blocks had already closed.

No one noticed that several hundred people were missing from the street.

He took out a fist-sized sphere from his ninja tool bag. Its outer shell was made of dark gray metal, and its surface was engraved with two layers of nested rune patterns.

The trigger-activated pressure-sensitive bomb incorporates some Yin-Yang Release chakra, modeled after the Tailed Beast Ball.

The surprise for Konoha was to place the sphere under the cushion of the main seat.

The triggered rune array expands and covers the entire hall; anyone who steps on it will trigger an explosion.

He turned and walked out of the main gate of the Hyuga residence.

The golden ring of reincarnation glanced back one last time.

The Hyuga clan's territory was as quiet as a graveyard.

The secret agents are still patrolling the perimeter, and no one has yet noticed anything unusual in the main hall.

The Flying Thunder God's cross-shaped starlight flashed on the courtyard wall, and Hyuga Chen disappeared from the spot.
