Chapter 457 Konoha Jonin

I never expected that Hiashi of the Hyuga clan would step in to block me here.

Sasuke raised his head to look at Hiashi.

"Mr. Hiashi, do you intend to stop me as well?"

Upon hearing this, Hiashi assumed the starting stance of the Eight Trigrams Palms. "Of course, the Hyuga clan are also shinobi of the Leaf."

"No matter what you intend to do, as a shinobi of the Leaf, I won't let you succeed."

It seems he's made up his mind.

In that case, Sasuke won't hold back.

He raises his hand!

With a light tap of his fingertip, lightning bursts forth, shooting directly towards Hiashi.

"Rotation!"

A rapid surge of chakra, combined with high-speed spinning.

The lightning is deflected by the chakra.

Sasuke is momentarily stunned; Hiashi's Rotation is quite powerful! It actually managed to block his Lightning Release.

But that's all there is to it.

"Eight Trigrams One Hundred Twenty-Eight Palms!"

Suddenly, Hiashi rapidly closes in on Sasuke.

The Gentle Fist technique erupts instantly.

At this moment, the surrounding shinobi all turn their gaze to Sasuke. Seeing the head of the Hyuga clan take action, they widen their eyes in anticipation.

After all, the Hyuga clan was once considered one of the two great dojutsu kekkei genkai clans of the shinobi world, alongside the Uchiha clan.

Fundamentally, members of both clans held a mutual disdain for each other, often engaging in various conflicts, both overt and covert.

During the Leaf's Chunin Exams, Sasuke, representing the last of the Uchiha bloodline, had a fierce battle with Neji, the genius of the Hyuga clan.

Unfortunately, Sasuke ultimately defeated Neji with overwhelming strength.

It was a complete and utter domination, leaving Neji with no chance to counterattack.

That battle remains fresh in the memories of many Leaf shinobi. And now, the head of the Hyuga clan, the strongest of the Hyuga, is facing off against an Uchiha.

This is a battle that many are eagerly anticipating.

Although, to a large extent, the two are no longer on the same level.

But the question of whether the Hyuga can counter the Uchiha still lingers in the minds of the shinobi, and they hold onto that hope.

As Sasuke watches Hiashi prepare to use the Gentle Fist against him, he smiles faintly and takes a step back.

The moment Hiashi strikes, Sasuke dodges the attack.

At the same time, the Gentle Fist's Eight Trigrams One Hundred Twenty-Eight Palms continues to erupt.

No matter how fast Hiashi's palm strikes are, to Sasuke, they are painfully slow.

He effortlessly dodges, ensuring that not a single strike lands.

When the final strike of the One Hundred Twenty-Eight Palms is unleashed, Hiashi delivers sixty-four palm strikes in an instant a feat that would be impossible for an ordinary shinobi to evade.

But Sasuke dodges with ease.

With just a few slight movements of his body, he ensures that Hiashi's attacks always miss by a hair's breadth.

The moment Hiashi stops, Sasuke steps forward and grabs him by the throat, lifting him off the ground.

"Mr. Hiashi, your palm techniques are strong, but your speed is too slow..."

Releasing his grip, Sasuke delivers a casual palm strike. Although he doesn't possess the Byakugan, infusing chakra into an opponent's body through a palm strike isn't particularly difficult for him.

The strike sends Hiashi flying back over ten meters, skidding across the ground and kicking up a trail of dust.

In the blink of an eye, the outcome is decided. The surrounding shinobi involuntarily take a step back, none daring to stand in Sasuke's way.

Naruto is just ahead.

Sasuke continues forward.

Suddenly, a sharp whistling sound cuts through the air. Sasuke stops abruptly as a kunai flies past his face. He catches it effortlessly and turns to look in the direction it came from.

"Sarutobi... Asuma!"

This guy, whose fate had changed due to Sasuke's actions and who hadn't died, has now appeared once again.

"Uchiha Sasuke, we won't let you take another step forward!"

As he speaks, one Leaf jonin after another emerges from the crowd.

Aside from the jonin whose names Sasuke doesn't know, there are also Kurenai, Anko, Hayate, members of the Aburame clan, the Inuzuka clan, Choza Akimichi, and more.

These are all considered top-tier jonin of the Leaf.

And now, they all stand in Sasuke's way.

It might seem impressive, but in reality, Sasuke doesn't give them a second thought.

"Don't waste my time! You... can't stop me!"

Sarutobi Asuma: "Don't get too full of yourself. We may not be on the level of the Hokage, but we won't just let you pass."

As he speaks, Asuma draws his chakra blades, and wind-natured chakra erupts from them. These chakra blades are incredibly powerful.

But!

Sasuke smirks coldly and exhales onto the kunai he just caught.

"Wind Release: Vacuum Blade!"

Raising the Vacuum Blade, Sasuke charges straight at Asuma.

A clash of wind against wind creates a shocking storm.

Asuma is immediately forced back.

In the next instant, Sasuke raises his hand and slams it down. "Wind Release: Beast-Slaying Palm!"

Boom!

A fierce gust of wind strikes Asuma head-on, and the accompanying wind blades leave several bloody gashes on his body.

Turning his head, Sasuke senses someone trying to manipulate his chakra.

Are they trying to use genjutsu on him?

Sasuke laughs.

"Kurenai-sensei, are you seeking death?"

Sasuke's gaze locks onto Kurenai.

"Sharingan Genjutsu!"

Hum!

In an instant, Kurenai feels as though her head is splitting apart.

She collapses to the ground, unconscious.

Anko, who quickly moves to support her, turns to glare at Sasuke.

"Hidden Shadow Snake Hands!"

A multitude of snakes emerge from her sleeves, lunging at Sasuke to bite him.

Sasuke raises his hand and slashes!

Lightning erupts, instantly killing all the snakes. At the same time, Sasuke infuses the kunai in his hand with Lightning Release and hurls it at Anko.

The Lightning-imbued kunai strikes her shoulder, paralyzing her with electricity and rendering her immobile.

Sasuke steps over her without a change in expression.

In that moment, Anko's eyes widen in shock.

"So... so strong..."

Although she had seen Sasuke's battles before, facing him directly allowed her to truly comprehend the overwhelming power that left no room for resistance.

As Sasuke leaps over her, Anko witnesses an even more astonishing sight.

Members of the Aburame clan, the Inuzuka clan, Hayate, and others... all lie defeated on the ground.

When did Sasuke attack them?

She hadn't even seen it.

In the brief moment her vision had faltered, Sasuke had simultaneously taken down all these Leaf jonin elite jonin, no less?

How is this possible?

Sasuke had thought no one else would interfere after this.

But even after defeating Hiashi and the others, someone still stands in his way.

"Uchiha Sasuke... I... will never let you pass!"

"I swear it on the honor of the Leaf shinobi!"

Boom!

An intense aura erupts, rushing towards Sasuke.

Looking at the person before him, Sasuke sighs in resignation.

"The Leaf's... Blue Beast, Might Guy!"
