Hyuga Duo

A staggering amount of Chakra burst forth, forming a spiraling storm that provided flawless, 360-degree defense.

The rapidly rotating Chakra storm not only deflected Killer B's blades, but also posed a further threat to him and A, the successor to the Third Raikage.

At that critical moment, A directly unleashed his powerful Nintaijutsu, ready to teach this unexpected opponent a harsh lesson.

Both he and Killer B could tell that the opponent before them was far from ordinary.

At the very least, he possessed the combat strength of an Elite Jonin.

Killer B intended to coordinate with his brother and take down their opponent together.

However, at that very moment, another figure suddenly charged in and attacked Killer B without a word.

"Gentle Fist Style: Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four Palms!"

The man shouted low, and a barrage of palm afterimages descended upon the Chakra points across Killer B's body.

They were incredibly fast and precisely aimed.

"So, he's a powerful member of Konoha's Hyuga Clan..."

Killer B had recognized his opponent by then, not only because of the Gentle Fist Style he used, but also because he had seen his face clearly.

The man before him possessed a pair of Byakugan, wore a Konoha forehead protector, and attacked at incredible speed.

As Killer B dodged his opponent's attacks, he searched for an opening, only to discover that this opponent was far stronger than any Konoha Ninja he had encountered before.

For a time, he could not find a suitable opportunity to counterattack.

Meanwhile, A had already slammed a fierce punch toward his target.

The punch carried immense force; it could have shattered even a massive boulder on impact.

Yet when the fist cloaked in Lightning Release Chakra struck its target, it was deflected after another dull bang.

A's heart tightened slightly as he stared in astonishment at the enemy before him, who still resembled a rapidly spinning ball of Chakra.

"A defense formed by rotating Chakra at extreme speeds... When an attack strikes, the difference in rotational speed can divert it, while the eruption of dense externalized Chakra further enhances its defense..."

"Is this the ability of Konoha's Hyuga Clan?"

A was deeply shocked and surprised.

Since clashing with Konoha, this was the first time they had encountered such a formidable Hyuga Clan warrior.

And just as A was distracted, his opponent suddenly counterattacked.

"Eight Trigrams Vacuum Palm!"

From within the rapidly spinning spherical Chakra storm, a palm strike formed from high-density Chakra suddenly lashed out.

A reacted quickly, immediately twisting aside to avoid the fatal attack. In the next instant, he appeared behind his opponent.

Because he had used the Eight Trigrams Vacuum Palm, interrupting the Eight Trigrams Rotation, the enormous spherical Chakra storm finally vanished, revealing his true body.

The three rescued Konoha Jonin immediately recognized him.

"It's Hiashi..."

Raimu Yamato looked at that familiar tall back and called out his name.

"What a troublesome situation."

Hyuga Hiashi gazed grimly at the hundreds of Kumogakure enemies advancing toward them in a crushing tide.

There was no need to ask what kind of situation they were in.

Only the three people before him remained of Konoha's defensive force, while the enemy still had hundreds of ninjas.

Worst of all, the AB Brothers had come as well.

Those two alone were already extremely difficult to deal with.

"In all of Konoha, only the two of you came to provide support? Then die here together!"

A, who had just been knocked back, now saw clearly who had arrived.

As the current Clan Head of the Hyuga Clan, Hyuga Hiashi was a fairly well-known ninja.

But before him, he was nothing special.

After a furious shout, A immediately attacked the newly arrived Hyuga Hiashi again.

However, the Kumogakure Lightning Release Nintaijutsu that he had always taken pride in, powerful enough to overcome ten techniques with sheer force, seemed unable to achieve its proper effect against Hyuga Hiashi.

Both sides fought speed with speed, and after a flurry of exchanges, neither could do anything to the other.

"I've long heard that the Kekkei Genkai of Konoha's Hyuga Clan is incredibly powerful. I never expected your Nintaijutsu to be this impressive as well."

"But unfortunately, this ends here!"

After A spoke, blue Chakra suddenly erupted from his entire body.

The Lightning Release Chakra was clearly far more powerful than before.

In an instant, A's aura rose dramatically, and Hyuga Hiashi's expression immediately turned even more grave.

The Lightning Release Chakra on his body... It forms an armor-like defense over his skin, preventing my Chakra from entering his Chakra points...

During the earlier Gentle Fist Style exchange, Hyuga Hiashi had intended to inject his powerful Chakra into his opponent's Chakra points, damaging his meridians and internal organs to kill him.

But after several attempts, he discovered that the tall Kumogakure Man before him was practically impervious to blades and spears.

In the instant he was distracted, A launched another attack.

On the other side, Killer B also began fighting in earnest. His opponent was Hizashi Hyuga, who had arrived with Hyuga Hiashi to provide support.

The Clan Head of the Hyuga Clan's branch family.

Though weaker than his elder brother Hyuga Hiashi, Hizashi Hyuga also possessed the Byakugan. With the power of that formidable Kekkei Genkai, he was able to fight Killer B on even terms.

However, as Killer B gradually became serious and wielded seven ninja swords to employ the Seven Swords Style of Nintaijutsu, his attacks growing faster and faster, Hizashi Hyuga gradually began to fall into a disadvantage.

"Fighting me barehanded, your weakness will cost you your life!"

After saying that, Killer B slashed at Hizashi Hyuga.

"Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four Palms: Rotation!"

Faced with Killer B's relentless, unstoppable swordsmanship, Hizashi Hyuga had no choice but to use his absolute defense.

In an instant, a massive spherical Chakra storm erupted from the Chakra points across his body, forming a powerful defensive sphere.

Killer B's attack was immediately deflected.

"Oh? Is this your absolute defense?"

"Gentle Fist Style!"

Hizashi Hyuga wasted no words and immediately launched a new round of attacks against Killer B.

By then, numerous Kumogakure ninjas had surrounded them from all directions, yet none of them made a move. They merely watched as though enjoying a show.

"Our opponents are Konoha's Elite Jonin, powerful members of the Hyuga Clan. In the previous battles, our people suffered greatly when facing those two brothers. Do we really not need to help Lord A and Killer B?"

"Just watch. Those two aren't ordinary ninjas! The battle will end soon!"

"..."

As the Kumogakure ninjas discussed the fight, A and Killer B, along with Hyuga Hiashi and Hizashi Hyuga who had come to provide support, began a true life-or-death struggle.
