Sudden Change

Hyuga Harukaze, a ninja rarely known in the village but with extraordinary strength.

Frankly speaking, as a Clan Head, he was a bit too low-profile.

But considering his status as a member of the Hyuga Main Family, this low profile seemed much more reasonable.

Restraining himself, adhering to the rules, and diligently cultivating day after day, year after year, he reached Kage-level strength in his twenties, and even possessed the Byakugan, one of the strongest Eye Technique bloodline limits in the Shinobi World... Any ninja who obtained this qualification and ability would want to make a name for themselves.

But he was different. What he liked most was staying in the Hyuga Ancestral Home, admiring flowers, walking birds, staring at the moon in a daze, and even rarely attending high-level meetings.

If it weren't for Tobirama's outstanding perception, his identity as a Kage-level powerhouse would not have been discovered.

Similarly, if it weren't for Tobirama's order, he would still be at home, guarding the Hidden Leaf Village, and would never have led a team of elite family ninjas to sneak into the Land of Lightning after traveling thousands of miles.

Even less would he have encountered this brutal and violent bastard in front of him, who exuded the aura of Tailed Beasts and killed most of his companions with a joke.

"Byakugan, I heard that your Eye Technique can not only be used for reconnaissance and searching, but also has extremely strong combat capabilities, but..."

Ginkaku flicked his dark silver hair, casually threw the Corpse of the Hyuga Ninja in his hand down the mountain stream, and smacked his lips, "I don't see it."

"Clan Head, you go quickly!" The last Hyuga Ninja protected Harukaze behind him, his face full of determination.

"Aoyama, let's fight side by side." Harukaze wore a white clan uniform and shook his head helplessly. "You're just courting death."

"What? Clan Head, you still want to fight him?" Hyuga Aoyama seemed to have heard something incredible. "That guy is too dangerous, and you will die if you are not careful. In order to ensure that the Byakugan does not fall into the hands of the enemy, retreat is the best way!"

Hyuga Harukaze put his hands in his sleeves, "This is the order given to me by the village, I will not run away."

"But protecting the Byakugan from falling into the hands of the enemy is also one of the iron rules of the clan!" Hyuga Aoyama shouted excitedly.

"Don't be silly, I have already watched him kill two companions. In terms of emotion and reason, this battle must be fought."

Harukaze's expression was calm, but he was ready for battle, adopting a standard Gentle Fist Stance.

"Let's end the chat here. When you arrive in the Pure Land, you will have plenty of time." Ginkaku smiled sinisterly, flicked his right hand, and shook off the blood on the Seven Star Sword.

In fact, Hyuga Harukaze and the others had a smooth journey. With the Byakugan's ultra-long-range vision and perspective ability, they avoided numerous guards, went deep behind enemy lines, and had quietly approached the Hidden Cloud Village.

But there was only this one way to enter the Hidden Cloud Village.

Therefore, even though they had long observed someone guarding the Extreme Lightning Gorge, they had to bite the bullet and rush up.

Due to the tradition of the Hyuga Clan, Harukaze, the only member of the Main Family, did not take the lead, but because of this, Ginkaku directly killed his companions in seconds.

"If the meaning of the Main Family's Byakugan is to watch the Branch Families die generously one by one, I am probably tired of it."

Harukaze took a deep breath, and the Byakugan opened instantly, and blood vessels suddenly bulged from the skin around his eyes, and the pure white eyeballs also had pupil patterns.

"But..." Aoyama said anxiously, as if he wanted to say something.

"Listen carefully, the enemy in front of you is very strong, very strong, even if we join forces, life and death are unpredictable." Harukaze opened his mouth quickly, but Ginkaku in front of him had already rushed over, like a mad bull.

"Hey, let's make a long story short, what I mean is, at the last moment of life..." Hyuga Harukaze's eyes suddenly sharpened, and his figure turned into an erratic white shadow and disappeared.

Aoyama didn't even react. A sharp wind came from the back of his head, and a tall shadow covered the ground. Only then did he hurriedly turn his head.

He met a pair of sharp eyes full of overwhelming violence, and... a giant sword slashing down diagonally!

Time seemed to stagnate with his thoughts. His mind was empty at this moment, and the only thing he was thinking about was the tragic state of being split in half.

"Da."

Just then, a foot steadily stepped on the Seven Star Sword's blade, the white-clothed afterimage coalescing into the form of Hyuga Harukaze. His movements seemed light, but the force was so great that it changed the direction of the sword's slash.

"Eh?" Ginkaku's eyes showed surprise. Before he could speak, a whip kick struck him hard on the cheek.

"Bang!"

Hyuga Harukaze used a clean roundhouse kick to send Ginkaku flying into the air, crashing into the rocks nearby.

"Clan Head!" Aoyama's pupils trembled. Only then did he notice a crack several meters deep at his feet, the result of the Seven Star Sword's slash!

"In the last moments of life, I want to fight alongside you, not run away alone..."

Harukaze turned his head, revealing a gentle smile. "Okay? Younger Brother."

Under this warm gaze, the fear in Aoyama's heart dissipated bit by bit, like sunlight piercing through the morning mist, leaving only calmness in the end.

"Okay!" Suddenly, the two brothers turned their heads in unison. A beam of silver light shot out from the shattered rocks, like silver lightning.

"Eight Trigrams Empty Palm!"

Harukaze and Aoyama acted at the same time, back to back. Their palm strikes pierced the air, and the powerful Gentle Fist Chakra formed a vacuum shockwave, instantly blasting the Seven Star Sword away.

"Come on! Bastards!" Ginkaku roared as he charged out, like a gorilla asserting its territory, slamming into the ground.

The two brothers tacitly dodged, then simultaneously launched their Gentle Fist attacks.

"Bang bang pa pa!"

Figures flew, accompanied by layers of air waves, and the muffled sound of fists and palms colliding echoed continuously in the canyon.

The Hyuga brothers coordinated seamlessly, one palm faster than the other. The Gentle Fist fell like a rain of blows. Ginkaku was beaten until he bared his teeth and immediately unleashed Tailed Beast Chakra, partially transforming into a Tailed Beast with six long tails.

Now, his body could withstand much more damage, and the Nine-Tails Chakra on his body surface was as hot as magma. After several exchanges, the fingertips and palms of the two brothers were burned and broken.

"Tailed Beast Ball!" Ginkaku opened his big mouth, and a fist-sized Tailed Beast Ball was swallowed into his mouth. A straight laser instantly tore through the air, killing the two brothers.

Harukaze and Aoyama exchanged a glance, immediately back to back, clasping each other's palms.

"Eight Trigrams Palms Revolving Heaven!"

The two brothers rotated on the spot, and a large amount of Chakra surged out from their Chakra points. A bright Chakra ball instantly appeared, and a piercing buzzing sound rang in the air.

The Tailed Beast Ball shot over, like water sprayed on a smooth mirror, scattering in all directions. The flowing energy tore the earth and blasted the surrounding rock walls to pieces.

The fierce battle continued, but Ginkaku's durability was beyond imagination. The two brothers tried their best, but they could not accurately inject Gentle Fist Chakra into his meridians.

Finally, a touch of determination flashed in Aoyama's eyes. Ignoring Ginkaku's long tail, he locked Ginkaku's body tightly from behind.

"Now!" he roared, his teeth full of blood.

Harukaze's pupils shrank, and a flash of sadness crossed his face for a moment, then he seized this hard-won opportunity.

"Eight Trigrams Mountain Crusher!"

He pointed out a finger, lightning-like, landing on Ginkaku's chest, at the DanZhong position, which was also the starting stance of the Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four Palms.

His eyes became firm, and with a wave of his hands, a Tai Chi phantom flashed under his feet.

"Just like this, using the force of Eight Trigrams Mountain Crusher, execute Gentle Fist acupressure!"

"Bang, bang, bang, bang!"

His hands turned into afterimages, and in an instant, countless finger strikes landed on Ginkaku's vital points all over his body. The overwhelming Gentle Fist completely enveloped his body!

"One palm!"

"Two palms!"

"Three palms..."

"Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four Palms!"

As the last palm struck, Ginkaku's body was thrown high into the air, and the Tailed Beast cloak on his body fluttered in the wind, dissipating inch by inch like a dying candle.

Hyuga Harukaze hurriedly picked up Aoyama's body. A large hole had been pierced through his chest, and it was covered in blood. It was the result of the six long tails constantly stabbing him.

"We won, Younger Brother." Harukaze's eyes showed sorrow. He had finally watched a member of the branch family die before his eyes, watched his Younger Brother die before his eyes.

"Brother, I... we are worthy of the village, worthy of... the clan..." Aoyama finally changed his address, no longer calling him "Clan Head." In the last moments of his life, he boldly overstepped.

He raised his hand, seemingly wanting to touch his older brother's cheek, to touch the corner of his lips that often showed a warm smile, but he couldn't do it.

His arm fell, and along with it fell a broken forehead protector.

Harukaze looked at the "Caged Bird" mark on his Younger Brother's forehead, and his heart was silently tearing apart.

Suddenly, as if he had noticed something, he turned his head back in disbelief.

Ginkaku stood up, cracking his neck, with a ferocious smile.

"I have to say, you guys are really amazing. If it were me from six years ago, I would have been dead for sure."

Hyuga Harukaze's eyes widened, his pure and flawless pupils reflecting a terrifying sight.

Ginkaku swept back his messy long hair, and as violent and deep Chakra erupted, his body grew inch by inch until, finally, a huge Nine-Tails demon fox stretched its body, its nine long tails shattering mountains, and roared to the sky!
