Sword of Kusanagi: Sky Blade

Anbu ninja were everywhere, surrounding the area as rain poured down.

Normally, Sarutobi Ryo might have enjoyed taking his time with a fight, using it to improve his skills.

But now, all Sarutobi Ryo wanted was to end this quickly and rescue Ruri from danger.

And so...

Sarutobi Ryo moved so fast he seemed to vanish, using his Swift Release. His finger was already aimed at Hyuga Hiashi's forehead.

A huge force crashed into Hyuga Hiashi.

Even before the attack hit, Hyuga Hiashi felt a sharp pain on his forehead.

He knew Sarutobi Ryo was strong, but he hadn't expected him to be this strong.

Too late to think about it now.

He could barely keep up with Sarutobi Ryo's speed using his Byakugan.

So, Hyuga Hiashi desperately raised his arms and attacked.

"Hmm?"

At the last second, Sarutobi Ryo was surprised. His opponent wasn't defending, but attacking with everything he had.

He had expected Hyuga Hiashi to use Heavenly Spin, but instead, he was trying to destroy them both?

Thinking fast, Sarutobi Ryo made his decision.

Before Hyuga Hiashi's palms could strike his throat and face, Sarutobi Ryo released his Chakra from his fingertip.

Hyuga Hiashi felt a rush of cold air. His body froze, and all his muscles became stiff.

Ice Release Chakra, launched from a distance, came from his fingertip.

Hyuga Hiashi hadn't seen it coming.

After turning Hyuga Natsu into a Weapon of the Will of Fire, Sarutobi Ryo's Chakra Control had improved greatly.

Having learned some of the Hyuga Clan's Gentle Fist techniques, Sarutobi Ryo could now use similar moves through his fingertips.

Few ninja outside the Hyuga Clan could do this.

This was Hyuga Hiashi's mistake.

And this mistake led to his defeat.

With a thud, Hyuga Hiashi fell into the rain.

The cold spread through his body, making his temperature drop fast.

Soon, his body turned blue and purple, and freezing air came from him.

He looked like a body trapped in ice.

Swish...

The rain kept falling.

Sarutobi Ryo slowly lowered his finger.

Everyone was shocked by Hyuga Hiashi's quick defeat.

By mastering some of the Hyuga Clan's Chakra Control, Sarutobi Ryo had reached Kage-level strength.

The techniques he used so easily were beyond the skill of ordinary Jonin.

With just a point of his finger, he had injected a lot of Ice Release Chakra into Hyuga Hiashi's body.

"Hizashi, are you going to do something or not!?"

The Head Family Elder yelled.

Hyuga Hizashi looked up, glanced around, and then... charged at Sarutobi Ryo, ready with a Gentle Fist stance.

He and Sarutobi Ryo looked at each other, understanding each other's plans.

At the same moment, Hyuga Hazuki screamed in fear!

She tried to run to her fiance, but Yamanaka's mind control technique quickly stopped her.

Then, Sarutobi Ryo and Hyuga Hizashi passed each other.

Hyuga Hizashi swayed, his lips moving.

He seemed to be saying, "Ruri... I'm trusting her to you, Young Master Ryo..."

Thud.

Hyuga Hizashi fell into a puddle, unconscious.

"Worthless trash!"

The Head Family Elder thought angrily.

He didn't realize that Hyuga Hizashi had no will to fight and was losing on purpose.

Soon, the Head Family Elder, his face twisted with anger, started fighting desperately.

Because he knew that if they didn't escape today, their future would be terrible.

"Ah!"

He roared, launching a Gentle Fist strike from a distance.

Boom!

An advanced form of Eight Trigrams Empty Palm, Eight Trigrams Mountain Breaking Strike, mixed his Chakra with compressed air, creating something like a laser beam.

After the strike, everything was destroyed.

Walls, trees outside...

It cleared a path straight to the outside world.

After using this palm strike, the Head Family Elder didn't look happy. Instead, he quickly turned around.

Sarutobi Ryo had silently appeared behind him.

Using the Swift Release, Sarutobi Ryo hadn't made a sound.

"Gentle Fist!" the Head Family Elder shouted, his palm glowing with bright blue Chakra.

"Rock Strike!"

Sarutobi Ryo unleashed a powerful force that shook the air.

His fist, exploding like thunder, slammed into the old man's palm.

Boom!

Strong Fist against Gentle Fist.

Using Magnetic Field Rotation, along with Swift Release and Body Art.

Sarutobi Ryo's fist moved faster than sound, creating a Sonic Boom.

After the punch, the Head Family Elder flew backward.

He crashed through houses, broke through walls, and finally flew outside.

Sarutobi Ryo took a step and used Swift Release to close the distance instantly, chasing after him.

"Heavenly Spin!"

The Head Family Elder, getting up from the ground, immediately used Heavenly Spin.

A blue Chakra vortex formed a violent storm, a visible white dome rising from the ground.

The destructive power pushed everything away.

Several Anbu ninja were thrown away instantly.

Sarutobi Ryo, caught inside, was surrounded, and the violent force constantly hit his body.

When the Heavenly Spin ended, Sarutobi Ryo fell from the sky with a thud.

Although his body looked bloody, Sarutobi Ryo's eyes blazed with power.

Chirp!

A streak of blue light suddenly shot out from Sarutobi Ryo's back.

With a buzzing sound, it instantly sliced the Head Family Elder's head in two.

"Sword of Kusanagi: Sky Blade!"

With the assassination complete, Sarutobi Ryo whispered the name of the technique.

After his Chakra Control improved, the Sword of Kusanagi's new abilities were unlocked.

Just like Orochimaru controlled the Sword of Kusanagi to stab Sarutobi Hiruzen in the original story.

Sarutobi Ryo had also learned the same technique from this Sword of Kusanagi.

It looked like a Sword Control Technique.

The Sword of Kusanagi flew out, circled around, and quickly returned to Sarutobi Ryo's back, into its sheath.

"..."

The Head Family Elder looked shocked. Even as he died, he couldn't believe he would be killed so easily.

Swish...

The rain kept falling.

Hyuga Hiashi and Hyuga Hizashi lay in the puddles.

Hyuga Hazuki was crying.

Hyuga Ruri's eyes... were slowly brightening.

...

Soon after, Sarutobi Ryo bandaged his wounds and had his subordinates collect the Head Family Elder's body.

Hyuga Hiashi and Hyuga Hizashi were arrested.

Hyuga Ruri was placed in a carriage.

Having not slept for days, she slowly closed her eyes and snuggled against Sarutobi Ryo.

Her arms wrapped tightly around Sarutobi Ryo as if she was afraid of losing him.

Sarutobi Ryo looked ahead, driving the carriage slowly back towards Konoha.

A bumpy ride, but peaceful.
