Devour souls! Isn't the Byakugan still sinister? Prepare to trick young Ai!

"Hm?"

Suno blinked.

Just then.

A formless soul from the Cloud Village Chunin killed by Hyuga Shin suddenly appeared within Suno's perception.

Suno reacted extremely quickly.

He made dark patterns appear on Hyuga Shin's palm, then forcefully absorbed the soul into his body.

"As expected!"

"My true form isn't Sukuna at all, but something else similar to a Soul Devourer!"

"Heh heh..."

A sinister smile appeared on Suno's face.

In front of him, Suno grabbed the shattered soul of the Cloud Village ninja.

Then Suno directly opened his mouth, revealing a gaping maw, and swallowed the mass of soul!

A large amount of information flooded into Suno's mind.

Suno already possessed an extremely strong learning ability, and now he was directly acquiring soul memories.

"Hyuga Shin's chakra natures are Water and Lightning."

"Perfect."

"Younger Raikage? Interesting... I have a trap that suits you. Since you're determined to be the next Raikage, will you just stand by and watch me leave after I've learned Lightning Release?"

"As for Uchiha Miya, I wish him good luck."

"More of the Uchiha Clan died, and fewer of the Hyuga Clan died. This is the most fitting episode for the original story."

The Hyuga Family adhered to the doctrine of the golden mean, rarely producing extreme powerhouses. They maintained a middling combat strength with the Byakugan and the Gentle Fist Nintaijutsu, and relied on the Byakugan's utility to make Byakugan users standard in every elite unit.

This unit, led by a Sarutobi commander, was equipped with two Hyuga Byakugan users, as well as a great clan like the Uchiha. There were also other smaller Kekkei Genkai users and a large number of excellent Civilian Ninjas, making it an absolutely elite force.

It had to be said, the Hyuga Family's strategy was sound, forming a stark contrast with the Uchiha Clan, who relied purely on passion and ultimately brought about their own destruction.

The Hyuga Family understood well that the nail that sticks out gets hammered. Look at the Uchiha Clan next door; they were very strong, weren't they? But they were targeted and isolated by Konoha.

The Hyuga Family didn't seek the spotlight. They were honest. If they learned other elemental Ninjutsu alongside the Byakugan.

In fact, combining it with Earth Style would be invincible.

If combined with Earth Style, coupled with the Byakugan's clairvoyance, they could launch relentless surprise attacks from underground, never revealing themselves and simply obliterating enemies...

The Byakugan was actually a perfect tool for surprise attacks when paired with other elements!

If they wore a mask to hide the Byakugan.

Disguised as an Earth Style ninja, wearing a mask that hid their eyes, they could clap their hands upon encountering an enemy and secretly unleash a Ninjutsu, and the enemy wouldn't even know who was attacking them...

Isn't the Byakugan perfect for stealth?

As assassins, the Byakugan would be incredibly effective.

But look at the image the Hyuga Clan cultivated?

Hyuga clan members were humble and gentle, serving as functional assets within the team, keeping watch and detecting enemies. They rarely produced Kage Level experts and always contributed to the village, posing no threat to it.

Hyuga Clan: "Hokage-sama, I, the Hyuga, am a model citizen!"

On the other hand, look at that group of lunatics from the red-eyed disease clan, who were extremely radical and even capable of causing their own extermination.

And it just so happened that the village needed to win over some while suppressing others, so the Hyuga Family was in a comfortable position.

However, something Suno hadn't expected was that.

When he planned to ambush and kill A, A inexplicably made a defensive move.

This surprised Suno.

Indeed, one couldn't underestimate the powerhouses of this world.

Even though Younger Raikage hadn't reached his peak yet!

Afterward.

Suno released some Negative Emotions.

This Hyuga Shin was just too weak.

All of his Negative Emotions from childhood had been absorbed by the dormant Suno, which is why the goody-two-shoes Hyuga Shin existed—the most subservient Branch Family Member to the Main Family.

Now, releasing a little Negative Emotion was enough to overwhelm Hyuga Shin.

Previously, Suno had absorbed Hyuga Shin's Negative Emotions, allowing him to calmly and narrowly evade Younger Raikage's attack; now, Suno released Negative Emotions, indirectly controlling Hyuga Shin to escape.

At this moment, Suno micro-managed again.

He used Lightning Release Chakra Mode with Nintaijutsu.

Whoosh!

Sparks erupted from Hyuga Shin's feet as he shot forward, running at full speed!

At first.

Both Konoha and Kumogakure were a bit bewildered.

"Chase him!" the Younger Raikage said angrily.

He didn't know what had happened just now, but he suddenly felt a tremendous sense of threat and instinctively dodged.

But... nothing happened!

What was going on!

Why did he feel like he could be suddenly killed by that Hyuga ninja!

The pressure the young Hyuga ninja put on him was far less than that of this young Uchiha with Two Tomoe!

No, no! I can't let this unknown factor escape!

Among many ninjas, A belonged to the passionate side, fighting by instinct and commanding by instinct!

At this moment, the Younger Raikage's intuition told him that he couldn't let Su Nuo go, or he would become a major concern!

"Lord A?! What about this side..."

"I've already defeated that Sarutobi Jonin and the Uchiha Chunin. Can't you handle the rest yourselves!?" The Younger Raikage rudely interrupted his attendant.

He leaped up on his own and fiercely pursued Hyuga Shin!

"Lightning Release... It's not strange for Konoha to have Lightning Release, after all, it's the top village," the Younger Raikage thought rapidly as he chased.

"As for the previous battlefield, with me here, we could achieve a complete victory... Without me, it would probably be a mutual kill, a draw, but Kumogakure would still have a 60-40 advantage. It's not a big problem. The important thing now is this Hyuga youth! I need to figure out why he gave me that feeling of being able to kill me!!"

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!

A accelerated madly!

His Lightning Release Nintaijutsu was much more proficient than Hyuga Shin's!

He gradually caught up!

The Younger Raikage's attention was fully engaged, his mind highly concentrated!

Meanwhile, Hyuga Shin felt his negative emotions fading like flowing water. He knew he couldn't escape.

But he had gained enough distance.

With a nimble flip, Hyuga Shin smoothly changed direction, facing the Younger Raikage head-on!

The pressure...

Skyrocketed!

Hyuga Shin didn't know how he was going to win.

His opponent was the Younger Raikage, someone who could fight Namikaze Minato.

Hyuga Shin was a standard Konoha villager born in the 30s. Those born five or six years later, like Asuma Sarutobi, Might Guy, Kakashi, Kurenai Yuhi... they all admired the man named Namikaze Minato.

Namikaze Minato, a disciple of Jiraiya, one of the Sannin.

Lightning-fast speed... making it hard to react.

And the man before him could fight such a person!

Me fighting the Younger Raikage, is that real?

Will I win?

Hyuga Shin asked himself, drenched in sweat!

Due to the overwhelming pressure, the Younger Raikage's figure even began to blur in Hyuga Shin's eyes.

Blurry...

Blurry?

Huh?

A large number of black, intricate patterns appeared on Hyuga Shin's body
