"What!"
Namikaze Minato's pupils dilated.
Hyuga Shin?
How is that possible...
But Namikaze Minato had also heard that there was conflict between the Main Family and the Branch Family of the Hyuga Clan...
However.
It shouldn't have escalated to this point, right?
"Where is Hyuga Shin?"
"He... he has disappeared!"
Namikaze Minato quickly changed his clothes, then performed the Flying Thunder God Technique and vanished from the spot in an instant!
The night was enchanting.
"Hoo..."
Hyuga Shin bit his fingertip until it bled.
"Summoning Technique!"
An ugly worm was summoned onto the ground.
Hyuga Shin's expression was very calm.
He had formed a "Contract" with the Evil God inside him.
In exchange, that Evil God would help him heal his wounds, and afterward, Hyuga Shin would need to help it investigate a place called Root.
Actually.
Hyuga Shin had vaguely guessed that his own thoughts were already being controlled by the Evil God.
But knowing that was useless.
Hyuga Shin allowed the worm to crawl onto his body, and then the worm turned invisible, appearing as if it didn't exist at all.
Afterward, Hyuga Shin stood before the mirror and groomed himself well.
Looking at the handsome youth in the mirror dressed in a kimono, his expression was indifferent and calm.
Hyuga Shin slowly walked out of the house.
Step by step...
With his Byakugan activated, he easily dodged the line of sight of everyone.
Hyuga Shin arrived at the district of the Hyuga Clan's Main Family just like that.
I thought I had forgotten...
Born as a child of the Branch Family.
His parents died in battle for the Main Family... yet it was treated as a matter of course.
His life up until now had been no different from that of an orphan.
At the same time, he was used as a slave by the members of the Main Family.
The past.
Memories he would never have recalled were all surfacing now.
Those scenes of being bullied felt as if they had happened just yesterday.
Finally.
All the images froze on his triumphant return as a War Hero.
Namikaze Minato's friends, comrades, teachers, lovers, and students were all cheering for him sincerely.
And before Hyuga Shin stood the Hyuga Branch Family, who viewed him as their pride, as well as the Hyuga Main Family, whose eyes held complex emotions of wariness, alienation, and astonishment...
Countless images flashed back once more.
In the end.
They coalesced into a single thought—
Those who love me, and those I love, have only ever been the Branch Family from beginning to end...
Hyuga Shin slowly reached out his hand.
The figure of a reptile faintly emerged, spitting out a Chakra Blade used by Kumogakure.
"Swish!"
Hyuga Shin circled behind and killed one of the gate-guarding Hyuga Main Family ninjas with a single slash.
Liger Bomb!
Then, with an elbow strike, he shattered the neck of the other guard.
The two Hyuga clansmen collapsed to the ground, dead as could be, but Hyuga Shin's mood remained incomparably calm.
Only Chunin.
With Hyuga Shin's current mastery of the Lightning Release Chakra Mode, Lightning Release Armor, and Liger Bomb, combined with a physique that was somehow several times stronger than before, killing Chunin was incredibly simple.
After killing the two men.
Hyuga Shin held his ninja blade and slowly walked into the building.
He activated his Byakugan.
He charged forward at extreme speed.
His killing intent grew ever more intense!
Bang!
He suddenly kicked open a door.
The Hyuga Clan Elder, who had been fast asleep, widened his eyes, but before he could even form a hand seal, Hyuga Shin threw his ninja blade, instantly severing his head!
"..."
Hyuga Shin remained silent.
At this moment, no one could connect the current Hyuga Shin to the one who had rendered great service on the battlefield, or the one who was previously known as the "goody-two-shoes of the Branch Family who always fawned over the Main Family."
Cold, brutal.
Hyuga Shin slaughtered the Hyuga Clan Elders one after another.
"Bang!"
"Gentle Fist Style: Rotation!"
Hyuga Shin was sent flying by the Hyuga Clan Patriarch standing before him.
"Hyuga Shin... you are courting death!"
The Hyuga Clan Patriarch looked at the blood-dripping blade in Hyuga Shin's hand and formed hand seals without hesitation!
Caged Bird!
Pfft!
Hyuga Shin's wide-open eyes suddenly burst!
Even his brain was destroyed in the process.
"Pfft..." Hyuga Shin spat out a large mouthful of blood.
"Unbelievable. While all of Konoha is immersed in the excitement of a great victory... you actually..." The Hyuga Clan Patriarch walked over, looking at the bowed head of Hyuga Shin with loathing.
But the next moment.
A cold glint flashed!
The Hyuga Clan Patriarch's words were cut off instantly!
"Guh..." The Hyuga Clan Patriarch looked at his chest in disbelief; it had been pierced through by a blade.
Hyuga Shin raised his head once more, his face covered in blood, but his eyes had already recovered!
Swish!
Hyuga Shin backhanded his blade, killing the Hyuga Clan Patriarch.
Then, he flicked the blade, sending the blood splattering onto the ground.
Not only his Byakugan, but even his brain had been repaired.
The power of the Evil God was far beyond imagination...
"Whew... so tired."
Having killed his way here, Hyuga Shin walked silently toward his final target.
Hyuga Hiashi.
However, he changed his mind at the last moment.
The commotion from his fight with the Hyuga Clan Patriarch had already awakened some of the servants. Those servants were merely Branch Family Members, and Hyuga Shin did not want to kill them.
Subsequently, Hyuga Shin walked silently toward the Hyuga Family's Ninjutsu Secret Room.
He lit a fire directly, burning all the scrolls inside.
Then, he sat in place, gasping for breath to recover his Chakra.
The first to arrive were the members of the Hyuga Branch Family.
However.
Upon seeing Hyuga Shin, whose pure white kimono was stained with blood and whose blade was dripping with gore, the members of the Hyuga Branch Family all froze in their tracks!
"Hyuga... Shin... why?"
More and more Branch Family ninjas arrived on the scene.
They saw the Hyuga clansmen being carried out; all of them were from the Main Family.
Every single Clan Elder had been killed...
Among them were many Jonin.
Hyuga Shin did not reply.
Instead, he stood up.
He discarded his blood-stained kimono.
Beneath it, he wore a tight-fitting Black Combat Suit that revealed his well-defined muscles.
"Hoo..."
Hyuga Shin exhaled a puff of white mist.
"Hyuga Hiashi... the old Clan Head and the rest of the Clan Elders, I killed them all."
Over there, Hyuga Hiashi's eyes widened, staring at Hyuga Shin with a mix of terror and hatred. He had already attempted to activate the Caged Bird, only to find that it had no effect!
"And you... are next."
"All Branch Family members, fall back!"
"After today, the 'Hyuga Family with the Main Family as its absolute core' will cease to exist!"
Hyuga Shin tossed his ninja blade from one hand to the other, and then his figure suddenly flashed!
Whoosh!
Moving at blinding speed, he charged straight at Hyuga Hiashi to kill him!
Hyuga Hiashi gritted his teeth, forcing himself to endure the grief.
He unleashed the Gentle Fist Style and clashed with Hyuga Shin!
The surrounding Branch Family ninjas watched the scene unfold; some were trembling, some were weeping, and others were laughing...
On the battlefield.
Lightning Release Chakra Mode!
Lightning Release Armor!
Liger Bomb!
Puchi!
Dozens of exchanges.
Although Hyuga Hiashi was also a Jonin, he was easily defeated by Hyuga Shin.
A major reason for this was that Hyuga Shin did not defend at all, employing a reckless fighting style that traded injury for injury!
"Hyuga Shin... wait!"
The head of the Branch Family, Hizashi Hyuga, raised his hand.
That...
Was his own brother.
"I won't wait! If any Branch Family member tries to stop me... I will kill them too."
As the words fell.
Hyuga Shin struck down Hyuga Hiashi!
