Vent Out the Darkness in My Heart

"The gate?!"

"The gate..."

"The gate!!!"

Hyuga Setsuna looked at the gate, overjoyed.

I knew it, I knew Uzumaki Naruto wouldn't kill anyone.

I won the bet!!!

As long as I give this kid a little face, he wouldn't dare to kill, not even under the influence of the Nine-Tails' Chakra.

Hyuga Setsuna almost burst out laughing internally.

A kid is a kid after all. Not only is he cowardly, but he's also indecisive. He must be afraid of Konoha Village's judgment.

Despite the wild joy in its heart, Hyuga Setsuna still nodded at Uzumaki Naruto with a grateful expression.

"Thank you, Lord Naruto, thank you, Lord Naruto. I'll go now, I'll scram right away. I'll definitely apologize properly to Lord Hinata..."

As it spoke, Hyuga Setsuna used both its hands and feet, dragging its pierced foot with great difficulty, inching towards the main gate.

Hyuga Hiashi watched the pathetic Hyuga Setsuna, so ashamed he wished he could die on the spot.

How could the Hyuga Clan have such a coward?

You're a Jonin!!!

How can you be so shameless?

Even if you resent the Main Family, you shouldn't disgrace yourself like this.

The disappointment Hyuga Hiashi felt towards Hyuga Setsuna even made him disappointed in Uzumaki Naruto.

I suffered four or five broken ribs and fractured limbs from Adamantine Chains because of your anger, severely injured.

And yet!!!

You just let the culprit off so lightly?!

Isn't that too soft?!

At least break its arms and legs!!!

Uzumaki Naruto didn't know what Hyuga Hiashi was thinking, nor was he interested. He simply watched Hyuga Setsuna crawl forward with his crimson eyes.

When Hyuga Setsuna had crawled about a meter, Uzumaki Naruto's lips curled into a cold smile.

"Adamantine Chains!"

WHOOSH!!!

A sound of something tearing through the air rang out.

SPLAT!!!

A Golden Chain, like a javelin, ruthlessly pierced through Hyuga Setsuna's left foot.

"AHHHH!!!"

Hyuga Setsuna, whose face still held a look of pleasant surprise, suddenly felt a sharp pain. Its pupils dilated, and it screamed in agony.

"My foot!!! My foot!!! AHHHH..."

"It hurts so much, it hurts to death, damn it, it hurts so bad!!! My foot's been pierced, AHHHH..."

"Uzumaki Naruto!!!"

Hyuga Setsuna's face was contorted in pain. It turned around, glaring at Uzumaki Naruto and roaring, "How dare you attack me again? Didn't you promise me that as long as I left..."

Before it could finish, Hyuga Setsuna remembered something. Whether from pain or fright, cold sweat instantly drenched its back.

It remembered...

Hyuga Setsuna stiffly turned its head, its gaze filled with terror as it looked at the gate, still nine meters away.

Leave the gate...

Let me go...

"AHHHH!!!"

Hyuga Setsuna's face twisted grotesquely. It clutched the grass with both hands, desperately crawling forward.

Eight meters!

Uzumaki Naruto spoke coldly:

"Adamantine Chains!"

A Golden Chain shot out again like a javelin, piercing through Hyuga Setsuna's left hand.

"AHHHH!!!"

Hyuga Setsuna screamed in agony again, but they couldn't stop. With a distorted expression, they crawled towards the distant gate.

Seven meters!

"Adamantine Chains!"

This time, the Golden Chains pierced through Hyuga Setsuna's right palm.

Six meters!

"Adamantine Chains!"

The Golden Chains struck through Hyuga Setsuna's left calf.

Five meters!

"Adamantine Chains!"

The Golden Chains struck through Hyuga Setsuna's right calf.

Four meters!

"Adamantine Chains!"

The Golden Chains struck through Hyuga Setsuna's left arm.

Three meters!

"Adamantine Chains!"

The Golden Chains struck through Hyuga Setsuna's right arm.

Over the course of those seven meters, all of Hyuga Setsuna's limbs were shattered, suffering comminuted fractures with no possibility of recovery.

The fresh blood pouring from their limbs stained the ground, leaving a bloody trail.

Hyuga Hiashi, hanging upside down in the air, turned pale.

"This is... psychological torture..."

"First despair, then hope, then despair again... It's simply... a punishment from hell..."

Hyuga Hiashi's voice was terribly dry.

He retracted his earlier thoughts.

Uzumaki Naruto wasn't a pushover; he was an absolute demon.

This wasn't about letting Hyuga Setsuna go; it was clearly about inflicting a punishment dozens of times harsher than his own.

First hope, then despair.

Leaving someone to sink into endless darkness amidst their despair.

There was no punishment more terrifying in this world.

Even without looking at Hyuga Setsuna, Hyuga Hiashi could feel their despair.

It was only a ten-meter journey.

A distance a normal person could cover in eight seconds, but at this moment, it felt impossibly far.

"Three meters, three meters left, only three meters..."

Hyuga Setsuna, with a twisted expression, stared at the gate before them, then slammed their head into the ground, inching forward with their chin.

They had to escape!!!

They absolutely had to escape!!!

They would take brutal revenge on Uzumaki Naruto, brutal revenge on Hyuga Hinata, and wouldn't let these damned brats off the hook.

They would retaliate for the humiliation and torment they suffered, tenfold, a hundredfold.

Two meters!

The Golden Chains pierced through Hyuga Setsuna's thigh, brutally shattering the thigh bone, as blood gushed onto the ground.

"Aaaahhh!!!"

Hyuga Setsuna roared with heartbreaking agony, but still desperately struggled to inch forward.

One meter!

The Golden Chains shot out again, piercing through Hyuga Setsuna's left thigh bone, pulverizing it.

"Aaaahhh!!!"

Hyuga Setsuna let out another heart-wrenching roar, then slammed their chin hard against the ground again.

"I made it!!!"

"I'm through!!!"

Hyuga Setsuna looked at the scene before them with wild joy.

It was just ordinary grass, but to Hyuga Setsuna, it felt like seeing heaven. They wanted to kiss the ground before them.

"I'm out!!!"

"I escaped! I crawled ten meters, hahahaha…"

Hyuga Setsuna was so excited, tears streamed down its face as it laughed, reaching out to touch the ground ten meters away as if reborn.

Hyuga Hiashi also let out a sigh of relief at that moment.

"It's a good thing Hyuga Setsuna has such a strong will, otherwise it never would have escaped…"

Hyuga Hiashi's voice abruptly cut off. His Byakugan eyes widened in disbelief as he stared at what was happening below.

Golden Chains wrapped around Hyuga Setsuna's right foot.

The Golden Chains rattled, mercilessly dragging Hyuga Setsuna back to its starting position, even as it bit down on the ground.

Uzumaki Naruto spoke indifferently:

"Your form isn't good enough. Do it again!"
