Chapter 231 Clan

A buzzing sound came from the air as a kunai attacked from behind, its angle quite tricky, aimed directly at the back of the neck.

Unfortunately, the kunai thrown by the elite ninja missed its target.

Because its target is the Byakugan, one of the three great dojutsu (eye techniques).

Hyuga Yoru slightly turned his body to dodge the kunai, and grabbed the handle of the kunai with even greater speed. Although he was young, the grip strength of his five fingers was comparable to that of an adult ninja who specialized in taijutsu. He gripped the enemy's kunai and thrust it towards his own back.

puff!

The warmth splashed onto Hyuga Yoru's hand. He opened his fingers and punched the end of the kunai, driving the weapon into the enemy's body. Chakra followed, crushing all of the opponent's internal organs.

"You..." The middle-aged ninja wearing the Mist Ninja headband stared intently into the boy's eyes, his expression pained.

"It's the Byakugan... and that worst one..."

A violent killing intent flashed in Hyuga Yoru's eyes. He expressionlessly grabbed the enemy's throat and yanked him out with a snap.

"Don't mention that man's name in front of me."

Hyuga Yoru kicked the corpse away, took a few deep breaths to calm himself down, and then charged deeper into the area.

The battle at Tiger Mountain had been going on for an hour. This formidable pass, known as the "last barrier of Kirigakure," was soaked in blood, and the corpses of Kirigakure and Konoha ninjas littered the ground.

The scales of victory began to tip in Konoha's favor. In Hyuga Yoru's Byakugan vision, the vanguard had broken through Kirigakure's defenses and disappeared into the darkness, clearly heading towards Kirigakure's location.

The minister's and Ruri's chakra are no longer visible; I must follow them...

The nine-year-old boy, whose mind was filled with the idea of ​​"rebuilding the glory of Hyuga", gritted his teeth, stuffed a soldier's ration into his mouth, and slapped out with his palm, about to crush the heart of the enemy in front of him.

boom!

Hyuga Yoru and his opponent were both taken aback, surprised by each other's power.

"Master!" Hyuga Yoru's palm strike failed, so he immediately bent down and gathered his chakra in his shoulder before crashing into his opponent like lightning.

This time, the sound of the collision was louder, but just like half a second ago, it still ended in a draw.

They both stepped back, creating distance between themselves.

Somewhere on the battlefield, two boys of similar age looked at each other.

"Hyuga Yoru." The boy with the Byakugan cracked his knuckles, let out a soft sigh, and gave his name.

"Kaguya Kimimaro." The white-haired boy with a red dot between his eyebrows spoke softly from across the room.

During the brief silence, they both memorized each other's names.

After a brief silence, the two charged at each other simultaneously.

—【Those so-called ninjas, stripped of all their veil of compassion, are ultimately executioners thirsting for blood.】

Six years ago, Hyuga suffered a calamity, and countless clansmen died before his eyes. Hyuga Yoru then understood the above principle. Therefore, he showed no mercy to himself, honing himself as if he were a weapon, and he was equally merciless towards his enemies.

Kimimaro's elbow sprouted bone spurs, and he stomped heavily, charging towards the boy with the white eyes.

Having witnessed Mochizuki Ruri's fighting style, Hyuga Yoru remained calm. He knew he was still young and didn't have enough chakra to use powerful ninjutsu. He assumed Kimimaro was in the same situation, so he charged straight at him.

The fierce clash of fists produced a piercing scream.

"Those bones are really hard..." Hyuga Yoru frowned as he felt a slight pain in his metacarpal bone. Shikotsumyaku is a unique bloodline limit that makes one very good at fighting in narrow spaces. Kimimaro's reluctance to use wide-range attack ninjutsu is probably partly due to his extreme confidence in his physical abilities.

However, Hyuga Yoru was a crazy guy in battle. Seeing that he couldn't win by fighting head-on, he didn't back down. Instead, he deflected Kimimaro's bone spikes and let him punch him in the chest.

After a series of cracking sounds, Hyuga Yoru's ribs broke, but his chakra erupted from his chest acupoints and blasted into Kimimaro's arm.

boom!

The two men simultaneously kicked each other, causing them to fall backward.

Hyuga Yoru broke three ribs, and Kaguya Kimimaro's right arm muscles were torn. Judging from the severity of the injuries, Hyuga Yoru was at a disadvantage, and exchanging injuries without any precautions seemed to be a mistake.

However, this is not a ninja academy with teachers and elders to look after you, but the battlefield of Tiger Devouring Mountain!

The Byakugan's super vision played its greatest role in this chaotic battle. Hyuga Yoru's kick was very precise, sending Kaguya Kimimaro flying towards the location of his Konoha comrades.

That Konoha comrade was named... Uchiha Itachi!

Kaguya Kimimaro sensed something was wrong while still in mid-air. He used his powerful core strength to twist his body and face backward.

However, he saw no enemies; all he could see were crows cawing incessantly.

"Oh no, it's an illusion..." This thought flashed through Kimimaro's mind, and then everything went black as he fell into a deep sleep forever.

Hyuga Yoru clutched his chest as he watched Uchiha Itachi pierce Kaguya Kimimaro's throat with a kunai. He thought to himself that although this person was a bit strange, he was reliable enough as a comrade. He had completed the cooperation without even exchanging glances.

Itachi drew his kunai, and only after confirming the enemy's death did he raise his head, nod slightly to Hyuga Yoru as a greeting, and then use the Body Flicker Technique to leave.

Judging from the direction he disappeared in, he was clearly following the vanguard in their attack on Kirigakure.

"They're all really reckless when it comes to fighting." Hyuga Yoru smiled bitterly to himself, grimacing as he pressed the medical kit to his chest. He glanced at his two subordinates who were locked in combat with the enemy, then stood up, thinking he should deal with the enemy for his teammates before considering the next action.

However, the moment he straightened up, someone suddenly appeared beside Kimimaro in Byakugan's field of vision.

An enemy? Also from the Kaguya clan? Hyuga Yoru thought to himself.

However, he immediately refuted this conjecture.

Because that person really didn't look like a ninja from Kirigakure; instead, he seemed like... a tourist who had accidentally wandered into the wilderness.

He was tall and wore a long black robe and cloak. He stood beside Kaguya Kimimaro's corpse, observing it with interest for a while. Then, seemingly noticing Hyuga Yoru's spying, he tilted his head and glanced in the direction of the Byakugan boy.

Perhaps it was a tenth of a second, or perhaps a hundredth of a second, but the powerful visual nerves transmitted the captured image to the brain, and the two of them saw each other's eyes.

Those were pure white eyes... just like mine.

Hyuga Yoru was stunned. When he tried to look closely, he found that there was no one next to Kimimaro's body, as if the man in the long robe and cloak was just an illusion.

"Is it because of excessive chakra consumption...?" The Byakugan boy frowned and subconsciously touched his shoulder.

He only felt thick sweat and spasming muscles.

This is an instinct belonging to a genius ninja; it will never go wrong.

A chill ran through him as he looked up at night, his heart feeling as if it were being gripped by a giant hand.

It really was that man...
