Naruto Bloodline Theory? It's Just Trash

The truth was that after Mingren killed Gekko Clan, his physical constitution had grown even stronger.

Shinya Senju: "But Uncle Gekko..."

"..."

Hokuto Hyuga Shook His Head.

It was regrettable.

Gekko Clan could no longer be saved.

"Damn it!"

Thinking of his younger brother's death, thinking of how his teammate had died protecting him.

If they left like this, the mission would fail as well...

Shinya Senju clenched his fists so tightly that his knuckles turned white.

"Run!!"

Hokuto Hyuga shouted again.

The kunai seemed to have grown eyes.

No matter how Mingren changed direction, even moving in a Z-shaped path, he could not evade them.

The next second.

Mingren grabbed a metal object beside him.

A water tank filled with tap water and weighing over a hundred pounds was hurled out with a bang, propelled by his 8.6 Strength Value.

Hokuto Hyuga's pupils contracted at the sight, and he immediately leaped backward.

At the same time, he threw all manner of objects within reach.

Mingren rapidly closed in on the two of them.

"This monster!"

Relying on his exceptional physical constitution, Mingren had extended his right hand toward the two men within the blink of an eye.

At that moment, Shinya Senju finished forming his hand seals.

"Wind Release..."

A whirlwind rose up, swiftly enveloping both Mingren and Shinya Senju.

Seeking death!

Within the swirling wind, Mingren threw a punch at him.

After they exchanged several blows.

Shinya Senju's arm quickly went limp.

Just as Mingren was about to finish him off.

A wave of weakness suddenly washed over him.

Mingren felt his vision grow dizzy, breathing through his mouth and nose became difficult, and the strength began to drain from his body.

"It's because of this Wind Release!"

Mingren immediately realized that this rotating Wind Release technique did not inflict direct damage.

Instead, it had sucked away the oxygen around him, creating a vacuum zone.

In the Original Work.

Whether it was Gaara's older sister Temari or other Wind Release experts.

They could all create a large or small vacuum area to counter the usual elemental advantage Fire Style held over Wind Release.

Naturally, such a vacuum state could also be used to suffocate others.

Realizing this, Mingren immediately held his breath, preserving the oxygen in his lungs and body.

His right hand still reached toward Shinya Senju.

Hokuto Hyuga, standing outside, could not see what was happening within.

The massive amount of Wind Release Chakra had created a blurred space, completely blocking his vision through the interior.

"What should I do?"

His face full of anxiety, he no longer knew what to do.

When the hurricane finally ended.

A scream rang out.

Hokuto Hyuga's eyes widened abruptly.

In his field of vision, the target seized Shinya Senju's arm and forcibly tore it off at the shoulder.

Then, he stomped down on Shinya Senju's temple.

With a wet crunch... followed by the teeth-grinding sound of a skull cracking.

The scream came to an abrupt halt.

Dark Negative Mental Energy flowed into Mingren's body along with it.

[Strength... 8.8!]

The next second.

Mingren, holding one of Shinya Senju's severed arms, turned around.

Those Eyes Burning with Black Flames were clearly revealed before Hokuto Hyuga.

At the same time.

Asuka, Ryu, and the other two were locked in fierce combat with Kakashi.

Facing the siege of four people.

Especially Ryu, the elusive and incredibly fast Kekkei Genkai wielder.

Even Kakashi could only avoid their edge for the time being.

"Earth Style..."

Without hesitation, he used Earth Style.

Kakashi immediately burrowed into the ground, refusing to get drawn into a prolonged fight with the four.

Because he immediately guessed that this was likely a stalling tactic.

The most important thing now was finding a way to reunite with Hokuto Hyuga and the others.

Rainwater poured down across the Land of Rain.

Watching Kakashi vanish into the earth.

Asuka's expression remained unchanged as she immediately extended her slender, fair fingers into a puddle beneath her feet.

Kakashi Hatake's tracking method relied on Summoning Ninja Dogs.

But in a place like the Land of Rain, unless they forced their side underground like last time.

The washing rain would render his Ninja Dogs' scent tracking useless.

She was not worried that Kakashi would immediately uncover any clues.

As ripples spread across the water...

Asuka, whose Chakra had entered Sensory Mode, immediately extended her sense of touch across more than half the town...

Hyuga

At such close range, under the gaze of those eyes burning with Black Fire.

It felt as though he had fallen into a vortex called Black Will...

Hokuto Hyuga, whose skin crawled, turned and ran without a second thought.

The physical constitution he had developed through years of diligent Gentle Fist Style training allowed him to shoot forward like an arrow.

Seeing the last person flee, Mingren naturally could not let him go.

"8.8... My current Strength Value is already incredibly close to Jiraiya's..."

In the Original Work's official databook.

Jiraiya's Strength Value was "9."

With his imposing body over 1.9 meters tall and his broad, aggressive fighting style.

His physical constitution alone already placed him among the upper ranks of the Ninja World.

Of course, that was his Base Stats without Sage Mode.

With 8.8 Strength, he was only a little short of 9.

Mingren, who desperately craved power, craved changing this world, and craved overturning Bloodline Theory, charged forward at full speed and swiftly closed the distance to his prey.

That was right, prey.

Looking at Hokuto Hyuga ahead of him was like a lion or tiger spotting a fine meal.

At this moment, Mingren desperately wanted to kill this Hyuga Clan man and raise his strength to an entirely new level.

Swoosh!

Watching Mingren catch up, Hokuto Hyuga hurled Ninja Tools while searching for an opportunity to escape.

"Damn it... I should have waited for my ANBU comrades to regroup from the start..."

Hokage Tsuchi gritted his teeth as he watched the other party draw close once again.

Without thinking, he hurled every last kunai he had.

Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!!

With more than a dozen kunai embedded in his body, Mingren merely lowered the arms he had used to shield his vital points.

Then he grabbed a Water Bucket and hurled it at his opponent.

Boom!!

The sound of something tearing through the air came from behind him.

With the Byakugan, Hokage Tsuchi saw the object coming without needing to turn around.

Without thinking, he performed a Rolling Gourd, tumbling aside to evade the incoming heavy object.

Then, using the momentum to rise, he started running again, the fluid sequence fully displaying his rigorous training.

But in the instant it took him to perform that flashy movement.

Mingren pushed off the ground, and with one kick, he was already behind Hokage Tsuchi.

Knowing he had nowhere left to run, Hokage Tsuchi instantly turned around and assumed a desperate stance.

"Gentle Fist Style... Eight Trigrams Two Palms!"

With speed too swift to guard against, his attacks as fast as the wind, he struck with two fingers.

"Eight Trigrams Four Palms!"

Then came four palms.

Blue Chakra spirals bloomed at his fingertips, passing through the skin and piercing into the human body.

"Eight Trigrams Eight Palms!!"

Bang bang bang bang!!!

Eight consecutive attacks came so quickly that ordinary eyes could barely follow them.

They fully demonstrated the incomparable speed of the Gentle Fist Style.
