Chapter 2 Many vs. One

Deep in the dense forest, three or four ninja corpses lay on the ground. Not far away, Hyuga Yuto was engaged in close combat with an enemy.

The veins around Hyuga Yuto's eyes bulged, and his Byakugan easily caught the shimmering white chakra flowing within the body of the enemy in front of him.

The Cloud Village ninja he fought was tall, with dark skin and strong, powerful limbs.

boom!

Suddenly, a Cloud Village ninja threw a punch. Hyuga Yuto raised his right arm to block it. The immense force poured onto his arm, and although Hyuga Yuto swayed, he was not knocked back.

"This brat..." A sense of shock flashed through the mind of the Cloud Village ninja.

It's important to know that most of the ninjas in Kumogakure are martial arts practitioners skilled in swordsmanship and taijutsu, placing greater emphasis on physical strength than in other ninja villages.

The kid in front of me was clearly underage. Although the Hyuga clan also valued taijutsu (body techniques), he was actually evenly matched with me in a pure strength contest...

Shock and disorientation occurred simultaneously in an instant.

To be fair, the tall Cloud Village ninja was a qualified warrior. Although he was flustered inside, he maintained his fighting stance very well, and the silver-white lightning release wrapped around his hands still exuded powerful force.

However, in Hyuga Yuto's vision, the enemy's chakra had become chaotic in that instant, and the "streams" that were originally flowing orderly in the meridians had become filled with countless tiny vortices.

For ninjas, chakra is the most obvious manifestation of their physical and mental state.

This brief moment of hesitation is difficult to detect, and launching a surprise attack while taking advantage of it is even more difficult; only a master could do it.

Hyuga Yuto is such a master.

He stomped his leg heavily, charging forward at an even faster speed than before. The sharp force struck the ground, instantly creating a small crater.

The two were already engaged in close combat, and with this sudden outburst, Hyuga Yuto instantly "drilled" into his enemy's arms.

The Cloud Village ninja was shocked and instinctively jumped back, trying to create distance, but his mind had been scattered, and his chakra mobilization was a beat too slow.

Hinata Yuto had already snuggled completely into his arms.

In the confined space, a hand honed through countless trials slammed hard onto the chest of the Cloud Village ninja.

Hyuga's chakra poured out, bombarding the skin of the Hidden Cloud Village, pulverizing and shattering flesh, meridians, internal organs, acupoints, nerves...

——Gentle Fist!

"Waaah..."

The Cloud Village ninja screamed in agony and flew backward until he crashed into a large tree and came to a stop.

The instant he crashed into the tree, Hyuga Yuto teleported in front of him, extended a finger, and touched the Cloud Village ninja's left chest. Chakra erupted once more, shattering his heart.

"Pfft..." The Cloud Village ninja's groan grew weaker. In his dying moments, he raised his head to look at the Leaf Village ninja who had taken his life, and whispered:

"At this age... you are Konoha's... the Hyuga Jewel... ha... truly living up to your name..."

Hyuga Yuto watched him calmly until the Cloud Village ninja breathed his last.

After confirming that the enemy was dead, he immediately deactivated his white eye state, the blue veins around his eyes disappeared, and his eyes returned to their original snow-white state.

He leaned against a large tree, panting heavily, looking exhausted.

While the Byakugan doesn't consume as much energy as the Sharingan, keeping it active for extended periods can still be a burden on the body.

Ten minutes had passed since Sugisaki Tetsujiro's initial attack, the two groups' melee, and then their split-up and one-on-one fights.

Three enemies have already died at the hands of Hyuga Yuto, including the elite Chunin from Kumogakure who just died.

Although Hyuga Yuto has always trained diligently, his close combat skills are the best among his peers. He has perfectly executed many missions and even earned the reputation of "Hyuga Jewel".

But he was only twelve years old and hadn't grown up yet. The long hours of fighting took a toll on his body.

"call……"

He took a few deep breaths, took out a few ration pills from the small bag behind his waist, and stuffed them into his mouth.

"We can't rest here. If the Jonin on the other side gets a chance to attack, we'll be in real trouble..."

Hyuga Yuto muttered to himself, not having time to deal with the corpses of the Cloud Village ninjas and his Konoha comrades on the ground, and quickly ran to the left front.

When he arrived at the battlefield, Hyuga Yuto did not rush to show himself. Instead, he hid himself, activated his Byakugan, and observed carefully.

Sugisaki Tetsujiro and a Konoha genin stood back to back, surrounded by five Kumogakure ninja. The bodies of lifeless ninjas lay scattered on the ground. One of them was wearing a Konoha headband.

As the battle has progressed, Konoha has only Hyuga Yuto, Sugisaki Tetsujiro, and genin Sato Mahiro remaining, while Kumogakure has only five members left.

Hyuga Yuto didn't choose to jump out now, but patiently went around from behind, maintaining his distance, and came to the side of the Cloud Village Jonin.

He was very careful and moved very quietly. While he was still stealthily moving, the two sides clashed again.

"Lightning Release: Earth Walk!"

The Cloud Village Jonin quickly formed hand seals, pressing his hands to the ground. Silver-white lightning erupted from the center of his palms, covering the entire forest dozens of meters in front of him. Countless arcs of electricity were like nimble little snakes, extremely fierce.

Sugisaki Tetsujiro and the Konoha genin jumped up at the same time and leaped onto the tree.

"Oh no." Hyuga Yuto, who was watching the battle from a short distance away, frowned slightly.

Sure enough, the moment the two from Konoha jumped up, the entire Cloud Village forces charged forward.

In a flash of lightning, the Cloud Village Jonin frantically clung to Sugisaki Tetsujiro, while the other four Cloud Village Genin attacked the remaining Konoha ninja.

Every move was ruthless, exchanging injury for injury; in the blink of an eye, several more health bars appeared on the Konoha ninja's body.

The plan is to use overwhelming force to quickly eliminate a weak enemy first, so that the five of them can concentrate their strength to besiege Sugisaki Tetsujiro!

Sugisaki Tetsujiro's face was so dark it looked like it was about to drip water. He stopped conserving his chakra and relentlessly attacked his enemies, but they were all Jonin of similar skill, and it was impossible to determine a winner in a short time.

While he was locked in a stalemate, the Konoha ninja was in dire straits. Facing four opponents, it was almost certain death for an ordinary ninja.

"ah……!"

Sure enough, a Kumogakure genin seized the opportunity, drew his ninja sword from its sheath, and suddenly sprang into action with a "drawing sword technique" commonly used by samurai, viciously severing the Konoha genin's left arm.

The Konoha ninja screamed in terror, their cries echoing through the forest.

Tetsujiro Sugisaki clenched his teeth, but there was nothing he could do.

The Cloud Village Jonin who was his enemy was secretly delighted, knowing that his four subordinates would soon be able to kill the enemy and join him in besieging this troublesome Konoha Jonin.

However, just as he was overjoyed and slightly relaxed, a sudden change occurred.

A faint whooshing sound came from behind my head; it was the hiss of a kunai cutting through the air.

Immediately following was a pair of swift and fierce fists from a handsome young man, along with a sinister and ruthless chakra wrapped around them.

Hyuga Yuto seized the opportunity once again.

Just like the Hidden Cloud Village, Hyuga Yuto also believed that taking down the opponent's key figures was the key to victory.

Once this only Jonin is killed, the Hidden Cloud Village will have no power to resist!
