Personal Grievances
At this moment, at the entrance of the Hidden Leaf Village.
Uchiha Nen stood panting on a relatively intact patch of ground, the surrounding air currents swirling. A dozen Jonin lay scattered around him, and countless large and small potholes were emitting black smoke.
"It's not over yet!"
Wood splinters flew as Sarutobi Hiruzen broke free from a massive wooden prison. He held the Adamantine Staff, the thick rod instantly extending to a hundred meters, sweeping towards Nen's head like a long whip.
Nen immediately rolled to the right, and before he could land, the ground where he had been standing instantly exploded, scattering gravel and dust.
"Clap!"
Nen clapped his hands together, about to use Wooden Style, but a fearless Ninja suddenly hugged him from behind. In desperation, he could only break free and kick the opponent away.
A shadow loomed overhead, and a heavy gust of wind reached his ears. Nen's pupils shrank, and he immediately mobilized his meager Chakra, his body flowing with an orange halo, and manifested a skeletal structure.
The next second, the massive Adamantine Staff slammed him into the ground, and amidst the ear-splitting roar, cracks like glass appeared on the skeletal structure, and blood flowed from Nen's eyes.
"Uchiha Nen, you can't escape!"
Hiruzen retracted the long staff, spinning it around like a windmill for a few rotations, pouring Chakra into the staff with both hands, and then slammed it into the ground.
"Boom!"
Suddenly, a beam of red light traveled along the staff, quickly merging into the ground. As the light flowed, a spiderweb-like Barrier Technique slowly lit up, and Nen's current position was right in the center of the formation.
The red light scurried, illuminating the corpses of the Hidden Leaf Village Ninjas one by one. Nen stared intently, only to realize that everyone was carrying some kind of special talisman, connected to each other, forming a powerful sealing formation!
"Adamantine Sealing: Simian Sun Sealing Assassination!" Hiruzen shouted, and the formation immediately took shape.
Before Nen could jump out of the pit, the Chakra throughout his body seemed to be welded into his meridians, completely stagnating.
It didn't end there. A huge ape palm, no less than the Susanoo·Second Stage, emerged from the ground, completely scarlet, and grabbed him into its palm. A long-lost feeling of suffocation swept through his body.
"Move!" Hiruzen ordered, and several Jonin immediately swarmed over.
Nen struggled desperately, but under Hiruzen's full maintenance, the formation continued to flow with light, and the ape palm became more and more solid. No matter how stubbornly he resisted, it was useless.
He tried his best to open his eyes, and countless hands forming seals at high speed were reflected in his bloodshot pupils.
Fire dragons twisted and turned, lightning bolts shot through, and the blazing light illuminated Nen's pale and tired cheeks.
Just then, a slightly lazy voice echoed in all directions.
"Well, let's stop here."
As soon as the words fell, Nen felt a blur before his eyes, and saw that familiar figure.
Shin'yu smiled and raised his hand, the "Wedge" mark on his palm flashing with blue light. The fire dragons and lightning storms merged into his palm as if swallowed by a whale, and in just a few breaths, all Ninjutsu were swept away.
He took a step forward, and with a "boom," a circular crater hundreds of meters in radius collapsed with him as the center.
The violent force, accompanied by a hurricane, set off a circular shock wave, instantly destroying all the sealing talismans. The Ninjas in the front coughed blood and flew backwards, and the dust screen lifted like a wave.
As the smoke slowly dissipated, Shin'yu's figure appeared before everyone.
He smiled, his silky black hair danced wildly in the moonlight, and his beautiful, formation-like pupils bloomed with a dreamlike glow.
"Uchiha... Shin'yu!" Hiruzen stared blankly at the man who had violently entered the scene, a look of hatred flashing in his eyes. He lowered his head, his face quickly swallowed by the shadows.
The Hidden Leaf Village Jonin exchanged glances, all intimidated by Shin'yu's domineering aura, and dared not act rashly.
"Your mission is complete. Congratulations, you've proven yourself," Shin'yu said, turning his head.
Nen felt a sense of relief, as if all his strength had been drained in an instant, and a deep weariness surged like a rising tide.
Shin'yu turned his head, looking down on the crowd. "First, let me state that I am a very reasonable person. Whether it's Uchiha Kagami or your Hidden Leaf Village, I won't help either side. Therefore, I won't interfere in the conflict between Nen and you."
Hiruzen spoke in a deep voice, his tone as if brewing a storm, "If you're not interfering, why disturb the battle? Wouldn't it be better to watch from the sidelines?"
"Eh? Fighting is fighting, but of course I have to save my dear Nephew's life." Shin'yu patted Nen's shoulder, winking at Hiruzen and the others, "I haven't helped him flatten you all, which is already very fair."
As he spoke, he waved his hand, and a black and red vortex slowly appeared beside him.
"Let's go."
"Wait!" Hiruzen suddenly spoke, carrying the Adamantine Staff as he stepped forward, his entire body's Chakra practically boiling.
Anyone could feel his towering rage.
"Uchiha Shin'yu, today, I will never let you go!" he shouted, his eyes bloodshot, "The hatred for killing my father is irreconcilable!"
"You have the courage to attack me, huh, you do still have some backbone after all."
Shin'yu stood with his hands behind his back, raising an eyebrow slightly, "Are you acting on behalf of the Hidden Leaf Village?"
"No! This is entirely a personal matter!"
Hiruzen accelerated his charge, the long staff scraping against the ground, creating sparks and dragging out a dragon-like trail.
"Hehe, if you hadn't said that, perhaps the entire Hidden Leaf Village would have to be buried with you." Shin'yu smiled faintly.
The last syllable had barely faded when Hiruzen rushed in front of him. He went shirtless, leaping high, his thin and slender arms displaying astonishing power at this moment. The Adamantine Staff cut through the air, the end of the staff even creating a sonic boom!
He roared, his muscles bulging and veins exposed, his face flushed red like a shrimp, as if he had poured all his anger into this strike.
Nen's heart pounded wildly, intimidated by this overwhelming aura. He vaguely felt that even his Susanoo would be directly crushed by this attack!
Thinking this, he couldn't help but raise his head, looking at the figure with fluttering sleeves, standing still as a mountain, and a trace of shame suddenly arose in his heart.
"Aaaaaah!" Hiruzen roared, the shadow of the staff whistling as it arrived!
At this moment, Shin'yu moved.
He raised his right arm and slowly made a fist, his heroic body turning to the right, his waist and horse unified, striking a standard charging stance.
This was clearly a very simple action, but the moment it was struck, the space within a radius of dozens of meters stagnated. The speeding iron staff, the heavy wind, Nen's shocked expression, seemed... everything had slowed down.
From his body, an invisible "force" spread in all directions, covering the sky and the sun, causing the entire space to change dramatically, like dark clouds pressing down, forcing everyone to hold their breath and cast their terrified gazes at him.
At this moment, Shin'yu's breathing was incomparably natural, as if it had merged into the gale. A blazing sun-like Chakra flowed through his meridians, gathering mightily at his fist, causing his fist to burn with an ice-blue flame.
"Super Strength." Shin'yu's lips parted slightly.
The fist and staff collided suddenly, the air trembling and wailing, erupting with a deafening roar!
Shin'yu's fist intent accumulated to its peak, like a surging tide reaching its boiling point. The Chakra detonated at the moment of contact, and the fierce and domineering power instantly shattered Hiruzen's attack!
A loud buzzing sound erupted, it was the Adamantine Staff vibrating rapidly. At the moment of the collision, this indestructible long staff severely deformed, bending almost 90 degrees!
Hiruzen's tiger's mouth split open, and he couldn't help but release the iron rod. The immense force passed through his body, making him like a shooting star flying in reverse, shooting straight into the Hidden Leaf Village, smashing through countless buildings, and embedding himself deeply into the mountains outside the village.
Shin'yu's fist was still unscathed, with a jade-like texture under the moonlight, and even a faint heat wafted from the tip of his fist.
"Well, it is indeed a personal grudge."
He glanced at the trembling Hidden Leaf Jonin, "The former me was more rebellious, so many of you in Hidden Leaf should have grudges with me. That's okay. If any of you want to take revenge on me, you are welcome at any time."
With that, he was about to turn and leave.
