I'm retrieving corpses in Konoha.

Vacuum fluctuations are almost transparent, making them difficult to prevent in advance if they occur suddenly.

However, Han had already experienced this once before and knew the power of the Bagua Empty Palm.

Therefore, he observed Hyuga Hiashi's movements in advance and made a gesture as if he wanted to dodge to the right.

As expected, Hiashi Hyuga, with his Byakugan activated, was able to predict Han's next move from his muscle movements.

Therefore, almost simultaneously, Hyuga Hiashi aimed his left hand at the direction Han was about to dodge and unleashed another Bagua Empty Palm.

Han, however, moved with fluid grace, aiming directly at the ground on his right and delivering a powerful punch.

"boom!"

The powerful impact sent Han flying, dodging to the left.

Hiashi Hyuga's Eight Trigrams Empty Palm struck nothing but the ground.

With his Eight Trigrams Palm strike missing its mark, Hiashi Hyuga was unable to launch a second attack at such a short distance.

Just as the two men started fighting, the war that had just ended was reignited.

The Hyuga clan ninjas all took the initiative, activating their Byakugan and engaging the black-clad ninjas in battle.

Thanks to the power of the Byakugan, although the Hyuga clan's ninjas were outnumbered by several times, the situation was not one-sided.

However, as members of the Hyuga clan continued to fall, their numerical disadvantage grew larger and larger.

Unless for every one of Hyuga's enemies falls, five of their enemies will fall, it is impossible to stop this trend.

However, although the Hyuga clan has many Jonin and Chunin, the enemy is also composed of specially formed elites.

The purpose is to strike the Hyuga and Uchiha first.

After his Eight Trigrams Palm was dodged, Hiashi Hyuga assumed a fighting stance.

A large Bagua formation centered on him appeared in his eyes.

The instant Han rushed into the edge of the Bagua formation, Hiashi immediately shouted in a low voice: "Bagua Sixty-Four Palms!"

In the eyes of the Japanese, the meridians and acupoints of the Han dynasty were completely visible.

Immediately afterwards, Hiashi used his superb physical skills to close the distance in an instant.

"Bang bang bang!"

Arms flashed past, leaving afterimages, the wind howled violently, and a dull thud echoed in my ears.

Two palms, four palms, ..., thirty-two palms, sixty-four palms.

Even as the final blow landed on Han's chest, Hiashi did not retreat.

Instead, he immediately returned to the starting stance and struck Han's acupoints again.

Han kept his arms crossed in front of him, and the tailed beast chakra on his body surface was surging and spreading.

After delivering the final blow, Hiashi's arm muscles were already starting to ache.

The Bagua Sixty-Four Palms require an even higher level of physical strength with each additional palm strike.

And after performing the full technique twice without interruption, being able to maintain the fighting power is something that very few people in the entire Hyuga clan can do.

Previously, Hiashi's younger brother, Hyuga Hizashi, could also do this, but now, Hizashi is no longer here.

Thinking of this, Hiashi Hyuga felt a pang of pain in his heart.

Immediately afterwards, Rizu adjusted his emotions and focused his gaze on Han.

The armor in front of Han was dented, but the chakra on his body had not been extinguished.

The Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four Palms can block an opponent's acupoints, causing their chakra flow to become sluggish or completely blocked.

However, through his Byakugan, Hiashi Hyuga could see that the chakra in Han's meridians did not slow down at all.

His Gentle Fist Chakra never blocked any of the acupoints on his body.

"what happened?"

Hiashi Hyuga frowned.

Han lowered his arm, his face grim, glanced at his armor, and said:

"I underestimated you; you actually managed to dent my steam armor. However, your soft fists can't penetrate my armor."

Han's steam armor was a unique piece of equipment; its defenses could only be breached by overwhelming force.

As long as Han Jiang infuses his armor with Boiling Release chakra, he can resist the intrusion of Gentle Fist chakra, a martial art like Gentle Fist.

However, he still underestimated Hiashi Hyuga.

When his armor was infused with Boil Release chakra, even many Jonin skilled in hard taijutsu couldn't dent it.

However, Hiashi Hyuga, who uses Gentle Fist, is able to do just that.

"It seems I have to get serious too." A ruthless glint appeared in Han's eyes.

Immediately afterwards, a massive surge of chakra erupted from Han's body.

As Hiashi Hyuga looked at the chakra, his gaze grew increasingly solemn, and his heart sank.

Just now, he used all his skills to try to seal the Five-Tails Jinchuriki's chakra points while he was underestimating him.

That way, there might still be some chance of winning.

But now, his two consecutive attempts with the Bagua Sixty-Four Palms have failed to achieve his goal.

The current Five-Tails Jinchuriki is no longer as careless as before.

After the tailed beast transformation, the battle will probably be over.

"Hinata..." Hiashi Hyuga thought of his three-year-old daughter and couldn't help but feel a little sad.

The Hyuga clan currently has few capable ninjas; the branch family and main family combined have fewer than two hundred.

Compared to the current Uchiha clan, their numbers were nearly three times smaller.

This is still the result of the Uchiha clan being greatly reduced during this war.

The rest were mostly children, and a few unenlightened members of the tribe.

If these people conquer Konoha, the remaining members of the Hyuga clan will not fare well either.

It is clear that they will all have their eyes gouged out, be locked up, and reduced to tools for continuous reproduction.

The current Hyuga clan members may not be able to be manipulated by Kumogakure and Iwagakure.

But newborn babies do not yet have their own thoughts.

If what Hyuga Hiashi thinks is true, the baby will definitely become a war slave of Kumogakure and Iwagakure when he grows up.

The thought that his powerful family, which had been passed down for thousands of years, might be on the verge of extinction filled Hiashi Hyuga with a sense of self-loathing.

"The Hyuga clan must not be allowed to decline in my hands!"

A strong determination welled up in Hiashi Hyuga's eyes.

The Five-Tails Jinchuriki in front of us is an important fighting force for the enemy.

If we can kill it, we might be able to turn the tide of the battle!

Hiashi Hyuga has made up his mind.

We must risk our lives to use a move we've only ever imagined but never actually tried.

But then, immediately afterward.

Hiashi Hyuga suddenly noticed that in the distance to his left, hundreds of ninjas were taking a detour and heading this way.

Chapter 58 Unexpected Support

In Hiashi Hyuga's view, this group of Uchiha ninjas had somehow bypassed the battlefields of several other clans.

Judging from the direction of their destination, it was the Hyuga clan, to which he belonged.

Because if they bypass the Hyuga clan, there will be no other clans on their route.

"why?"

Hiashi Hyuga had a question in his mind.

The Uchiha clan and the Hyuga clan have always been at odds with each other.

In Hyuga Hiashi's view, those Uchiha guys with brain problems would never come to help Hyuga first.

On the contrary, according to their usual style of doing things, they would definitely support other families first, and then support the Hyuga family last.

After all, the arrogant Uchiha clan wouldn't consider which clan's role in the war was greater.

However, since someone came to his aid, Hiashi Hyuga abandoned the idea of ​​using that move.

According to Hiashi Hyuga's research, that move was a taijutsu technique that resulted in mutual destruction.

He squeezed out chakra from all the cells of his body and gathered it in his palm in a specific way.

By combining the Byakugan with acupoint targeting, one can strike the opponent but also die oneself.

Hiashi Hyuga has never tested this idea since he first conceived it.

After all, it's a technique that can only be attempted at the cost of one's life.

He would never use it unless it was a crisis for the survival of his family, nor would he want to.

"Hmph, the Hyuga clan is nothing special!"

Han finally uttered a sentence he had been preparing for.

He had originally intended to say that during the battle with the Uchiha squad.

Unexpectedly, he was defeated by Uchiha Natsu and forced to flee in a sorry state.

Therefore, he kept those words to himself.

Now, although they are not facing the Uchiha, the Hyuga clan is a family of ocular jutsu that is on par with the Uchiha.
