For this question, Hyuga Bin chose C without hesitation.
As for Option A, if he used his full strength now, he could indeed wipe out more than twenty elite Sand Ninja in a single move.
However, facing Sand Ninja from three directions, it would be almost impossible for his AoE damage not to injure his teammates.
Besides, he did not want to expose all of his strength this early.
Option B was even more impossible. If he did not intervene, those two Jonin squads, while desperately protecting the medical ninja, probably would not last two minutes against three times their number of elite Sand Ninja before being wiped out completely.
Meanwhile, most of the forces ahead, even if they saw the signal flare, would need at least five minutes to return and provide support.
Therefore, C was the perfect choice. It was just manageable with one hand.
[Shadow Clone Jutsu!]
While everyone's attention was focused on the approaching Sand Ninja, three shadows split off from beneath Hyuga Bin's feet and fled toward the due north, southeast, and southwest respectively.
Hyuga Bin himself felt somewhat hollow, as though his body had been drained dry.
The Chakra red line he had set for himself was eighty percent, and the treatment just now had already pushed him past it.
Now that he had split off three Shadow Clones at once, dividing his Chakra evenly into four portions, less than twenty percent of the Chakra in his main body remained.
Due north, at the position closest to Hyuga Bin.
Hyuga Bin's first Shadow Clone, Hyuga Bin 1 for short, transformed into a cool and aloof swordsman. He coolly looked at the two Sand Ninja Jonin and four Sand Ninja Chunin before him, revealed an equally cool expression, then coolly spoke six words:
"This road is closed!"
"Stop putting on an act!" Facing the showboating Hyuga Bin 1, three of the Sand Ninja took the initiative to attack, every move aimed at vital points.
"Slash!"
Hyuga Bin 1 drew his sword, then sheathed it.
In that split second, the Sand Ninja Chunin charging at the front became another soul beneath Hyuga Bin 1's blade.
One sword, one kill!
If this had been a livestream, the screen would probably have been flooded with 666s.
The attacks of the remaining two Sand Ninja arrived, but the kunai that should have cut Hyuga Bin 1 instead slashed through empty air, looking utterly ridiculous.
What they had struck just now was the nearly tangible afterimage of Hyuga Bin 1's Shadow Clone!
Hyuga Bin 1 had already appeared behind one of the Sand Ninja.
His sword rose and fell, and the second Sand Ninja died on the spot.
"Damn it, use ninjutsu to attack!"
The three Sand Ninja who had remained in the rear immediately formed hand seals and attacked from a distance with ninjutsu.
Based on the methods Hyuga Bin 1 had displayed, engaging him in close combat was clearly not a wise choice.
[Wind Release: Hundred-Faced Wind!]
[Wind Release: Great Breakthrough!]
[Manipulation: Shuriken Technique!]
Three dense attacks howled toward Hyuga Bin 1.
After casually cutting down the Sand Ninja beside him, Hyuga Bin 1 casually swung his sword.
"Whoosh!"
All the attacks were split in half around Hyuga Bin 1's sword.
Cold sweat instantly drenched the backs of the remaining three Sand Ninja.
Three swords, three kills. The three who died had not even been able to use the Substitution Technique.
The fourth sword had directly cleaved through their ninjutsu, the maneuver as smooth as breathing.
They had every reason to believe that the swordsman before them definitely possessed Kage Level strength.
Yet throughout Konoha, and even the entire ninja world, they had never heard of such a Kage Level expert.
"May we ask who you are?" With strength like this, the only ninja they could associate him with was Konoha's White Fang, Hatake Sakumo.
However, Hyuga Bin 1 wielded a longsword rather than a short blade, and his methods of killing were completely different from Hatake Sakumo's.
Facing the three Sand Ninja's question, Hyuga Bin 1 coldly replied:
"Caribbean Organization, One Path Swordmaster—Kato Masayuki!"
Southeast.
Hyuga Bin's second Shadow Clone, Hyuga Bin 2 for short, faced two Sand Ninja Jonin and eight Sand Ninja Chunin.
"Those who cross this line die!"
Facing a full ten Sand Ninja, Hyuga Bin 2 calmly picked up a wooden stick and drew a line before him.
Faced with such a showboating Hyuga Bin 2, all ten Sand Ninja charged straight at him.
However, relying on his powerful "monstrous strength," Hyuga Bin 2 smashed several pits several meters across into the ground with just a few punches, along with several Sand Ninja corpses.
Such a signature attack was exactly the same as Tsunade's.
Facing the remaining Sand Ninja, whose courage had been utterly shattered, Hyuga Bin 2 announced his own title:
"Caribbean Organization, Fist King, Tony Bigwood!"
Southwest.
After dealing with several Sand Ninja, Hyuga Bin's third Shadow Clone, Hyuga Bin 3, announced his exclusive title:
"Caribbean Organization, God of Food, Shimizu Ken!"
At the same time, Hyuga Bin's main body received another set of options from the system.
[Option A: Wipe out all twenty-four Sand Ninja. Completion reward: Fire Release: Small Fireball Jutsu (D-rank reward).] [Option B: Intercept only, do not kill. Completion reward: enhanced version of Thousand Years of Death Jutsu (D-rank reward).] [Option C: It is time for the Caribbean Organization to enter the world. Leave three survivors; they know how to spread the Caribbean Organization's might. Completion reward: random Attribute Points +0.1.]
"What the hell is the Caribbean Organization? Pirates of the Caribbean? I actually quite liked that movie."
Since he would not know what had happened to his Shadow Clones until they were dispelled, Hyuga Bin was a little confused by this sudden option task.
But that did not stop him from choosing C.
[Option task completed. Energy +0.1.]
"Konoha's Kato Clan?"
"Tsunade's personal disciple?"
"An Akimichi Clan Kage Level expert?"
Facing the self-introductions from Hyuga Bin 1, 2, and 3, the Sand Ninja knew they were no match and decided to retreat. "Retreat!"
"Sigh, I used too much Chakra showing off just now. There isn't much left, so let's finish this in one move."
Facing the three groups retreating separately, Hyuga Bin 1, 2, and 3, having received the option's contents, unleashed the signature techniques of their respective code names.
[Gale Sickle!]
[Wife-Hurting Fist!]
[Human Bullet Tank!]
In all three directions, Hyuga Bin 1, 2, and 3 controlled the damage perfectly, leaving exactly one Sand Ninja alive to flee toward Sunagakure.
Thus, Sunagakure's assassination attempt against Konoha's medical ninja came to an end.
(Today, Konan, Pakura, and Kurenai were added too—you can give them hearts!)
