The Tragedy of the Hyuga

With the death of the Forest Elf King, the Earth Elemental Spirit, lacking a host to supply their magic power, were quickly defeated by Uchiha Baru.

The remaining forest elf army collapsed and surrendered one after another. Some scattered and fled, while others knelt on the ground, causing the bloodthirsty Uchiha to let out a regretful sigh.

Antilin slowly gathered the remains of the Forest Elf King, her hands trembling uncontrollably.

This is not guilt or sadness, but a surge of excitement that fills my heart and soul!

In this world where Resurrection Magic and healing magic exist, death is not the end of fate; sometimes it is the beginning of a desperate hell!

Uchiha Takeyasu, who stopped the Forest Elf King from escaping, also kindly refrained from taking his soul. Presumably, when the Forest Elf King is resurrected by Antilin, he will be very gratified at the moment when father and daughter are reunited.

"The Forest Elf Kingdom is no longer a problem; the remaining two locations are..."

Just as Uchiha Takeyasu's gaze shifted to Yuki Haku leading the Frost Dragon Knight in a display of power in the Holy Kingdom's capital, a tremendous upheaval swept through the Ninja World.

"Hamura, it's time to make a decision."

After much effort, Hagoromo Otsutsuki finally persuaded his mother. With a wave of his hand, he led Hamura Otsutsuki to the surface of the moon. His gaze fell on the thriving lunar research base, his eyes as clear and cool as a deep pool.

"It's time indeed."

Hagoromo Otsutsuki cast aside his reluctance to Byakugan at his mother, and also forgot about the woman holding the contract, alone in the sunless, moonless sealed space. With a thought, he connected with the golden Tenseigan inside the moon.

This large Tenseigan, which gathers the energy of many Byakugan bloodlines over thousands of years, is almost beyond the ceiling of the Six Paths in terms of scale. However, the difference of just one step is a difference of tens of millions of miles!

"The power of the Byakugan began in my hands, and it will also end in my hands!"

Under deliberate control, a faint golden light emanated from Hamura Otsutsuki's eyes, and a pair of radiant golden eyes slowly appeared in his previously empty eye sockets.

The power began to spread like a spider web throughout the entire interior of the moon.

Drawn by their bloodline, the Byakugan clan members inside the moon collapsed to the ground, their faces contorted in a terrifying grimace. The Byakugan within their eye sockets resembled gaping maws of Abyss, frantically sucking and devouring the blood within their bodies. Finally, they transformed into blood-red spheres, tearing through space and floating beside Hamura Otsutsuki.

"What a beautiful scene." Hagoromo Otsutsuki looked at Hamura Otsutsuki, who was surrounded by blood-red crystals, and couldn't help but praise him.

Life, in a fleeting moment, is breathtakingly beautiful!

"Once we break through to the Six Paths, we will surely see even more beautiful scenery!"

Hamura Otsutsuki felt the surging power and sighed softly.

In an instant, everyone inside the moon who had awakened the Byakugan died completely.

"The Hyuga clan of the Ninja World, it's your turn."

"Return to the embrace of our ancestors and become eternal!"

Hamura Otsutsuki's will passed through numerous barriers, moving from the inside out, avoiding the many arrangements left by Uchiha Takeyasu Konoha Ninja World, and drawing upon the Tenseigan's sub-body to begin replicating the scene inside the moon.

"You must remember, although the Uchiha Clan is one step ahead of our Hyuga Clan, our future still depends on our own efforts!"

Inside the spacious, classically styled training grounds of the Hyuga clan, Hyuga Ashidana was holding a small meeting with the elders and direct descendants of various families.

"At the previous Ninja World Conference, not a single governor of any of the ten major provinces belonged to our Hyuga Clan. We must all feel ashamed and strive to improve!"

After Hyuga Ashidana finished speaking coldly, he turned his gaze to his eldest and youngest sons.

"Hiashi, Nichijou, although you are too young to refine your Chakra, you must still begin learning the basic Gentle Fist. The future of the Hyuga Clan will depend on you, the younger generation, to continue maintaining the Hyuga Clan's honor!"

"Yes, Father!"

Two clear, childlike words echoed across the training ground. Amidst the inquiring gazes of the crowd, two small figures dressed in white training uniforms bowed to each other before beginning their Gentle Fist training.

However, in the next second, all the adults present cried out in pain and involuntarily fell to the ground. Even many students who had entered the Primary School Ninja Academy fell to the ground!

"Father!"

"Father!"

Hyuga Hiashi and Hizashi Hyuga, who were practicing sparring with Gentle Fist, stared in astonishment at Hyuga Ashidana, who had suddenly collapsed to the ground. They stood there dumbfounded along with the three other frightened Hyuga children.

"Hehe!"

"Hiashi! Hizashi!"

Hyuga Ashidana suppressed the pain of being almost completely dismembered at the same time. His bloodshot eyes were wide open, and his whole body withered up at a visible speed. Just calling out the names of his young children had exhausted all his strength!

"Father, we're here!"

Hearing Hyuga Ashidana, low call, the two brothers snapped out of their daze and rushed to Hyuga Ashidana's side, kneeling down beside him, completely unsure of what to do.

"What are you standing there for? Go find someone! Go find the Uchiha!"

"Damn it, I've been scammed!"

"Is my Hyuga Clan destined to sever itself from the Ninja World!?"

Unable to make a sound, Hyuga Ashidana felt his two young children crying out his name, and even moving a finger had become impossible.

Are the children alright?

"That's wonderful! Under the current Ninja World system, the Hyuga Clan still has hope of rising again!"

The more jealous he was of Uchiha Takeyasu in the past, the more Hyuga Ashidana ease Hyuga Ashizawa is now.

The Uchiha Clan is the epitome of equality for all beings!

If they manage things properly and give up some trivial matters, the Hyuga Clan will eventually be able to live peacefully.

As long as there is life, there is hope!

As Hyuga Ashidana lay dying, he vaguely saw the weeping faces of Hyuga Hiashi and Hizashi Hyuga. In terms of satisfaction, the second son's talent was more outstanding.

But the eldest son is the future Clan Head, while the second son is destined to be sealed like Caged Bird Seal.

"After I die, will my second son fly away like a free bird?"

Hyuga Ashidana, only that the stone sphere he cherished as a priceless treasure had vanished.

He knew in his heart just how foolish he had been to arrange for his clansmen with awakened Byakugan to come and drip blood!

Hyuga Ashidana did indeed feel the power granted to him by the stone sphere that had dripped blood. He had thought that even if disaster struck, it would only be a personal calamity, and at worst, he would die.

Little did they expect that it would be a calamity for the entire family!

"Father!"

"Father!"

Watching as a pair of bloodshot eyes detached from the eye sockets of their father and the many elders Jonin around them, their bodies shriveled like mummies, Hyuga Hiashi and Hizashi, like the others, were so frightened that they fainted!

When they woke up again, they were already in Konoha Hospital. They opened their eyes and stared at the white ceiling, the fragrance of osmanthus blossoms wafting from the night outside the window on the breeze.

"Uchiha Takeyasu, I hope you will be pleased with the gift we left you!"

Last night, in the final step, Hamura Otsutsuki opened up a space, stored all the "Blood Orbs" inside, and then entered the space's crevice together with Hagoromo Otsutsuki.

They took one last look at the moon stretching across the starry sky and the breathtakingly beautiful blue Ninja World, then entered the Pure Land without looking back.

Hagoromo Otsutsuki used Sealing Jutsu to completely seal off the space, leaving no trace of their presence outside, thus beginning their final journey of transcendence.

The sudden death of the Hyuga Clan, who resided in one of the ten provinces of the Ninja World, instantly ignited the entire Ninja World. They couldn't understand how their Hyuga ninja, who had been laughing and joking with them, could die so tragically without any warning.

The officers in the Ninja Army on the Mana Continent initially believed it was a covert attack by the True Dragon Lord. As morale plummeted, the Uchiha Clan stepped in to suppress all dissenting voices and began to defend themselves and mobilize reinforcements.

However, nothing else happened after that, which puzzled them. They reported the matter all the way to the Ninja World Head of State Building, which prompted the Military Affairs Department to convene an emergency meeting!

"As you all know from the intelligence coming from below, whether it's Konoha or any of the major provinces, all Hyuga Clan ninjas—to be precise, all Hyuga Clan who have awakened their Sharingan—have died for unknown reasons!"

Mito Uzumaki, who had rushed back from the Earth Province to preside over the meeting, spoke in a low voice, and his words were chilling.

"A once -Great Family family that had thrived for a thousand years has been reduced to the brink of extinction, leaving only a few dozen young children. If this happened to you or me, no one could bear it!"

As soon as the words were spoken, the conference room fell silent. Everyone stared at the intelligence data laid out before them, their minds racing with intense thought, almost suffocating them!

Finally Uchiha Shikata tapped the table, the crisp sound drawing everyone's attention.

"Now we need to figure out three things."

"First, who did this, leading to the tragedy of the Hyuga Clan?"

"Secondly, what was the purpose of their destruction of the Hyuga Clan?"

"Third, if the enemy learns how to massacre specific individuals, what methods should we use to counter this?"

Uchiha Shikata voice, his brows furrowed with a ruthless coldness, "Right now it's the Hyuga Clan that's in trouble, tomorrow it could be Nara, Akimichi, and later even the Senju and Uchiha!"

"If the enemy gains control of the Destruction Ninja, we will be in an extremely passive situation!"

"Let's first investigate the Hyuga Clan the moon. The Hyuga clan in the Ninja World has suffered such a calamity; I wonder how they are doing there?"

Nara Shikamei, who was urgently recalled from the Heavenly Province, after sorting through the current intelligence, offered his opinion. "The Ninja World Hyuga Clan has members active all over the world. There is a very high probability that the enemy has mastered a bloodline curse technique!"

"Moreover, this method bears a striking resemblance to the dark magic of the Mana Continent."

"Nara Clan Head has made a good suggestion, so I'll arrange for someone to do it right away..."

"No!"

Before Uchiha Shikata could finish speaking, he was interrupted by a sudden voice. Looking at the figure that appeared in the main seat, everyone felt as if they had found their backbone, and the restless and oppressive atmosphere in the meeting room was instantly swept away!

Even Uchiha Shikata and Mito Uzumaki showed relaxed expressions.

"Honestly, they always arrive at the last minute."

After muttering a complaint to herself, Mito Uzumaki sat back down, concentrating intently.

On the other side, Uchiha Shikata asked, "What does the Leader mean?"

"The Hyuga Clan inside the moon suffered an even more tragic fate than the Hyuga clan in the Ninja World; only a few young children survived."

Because their bloodline is closer to that of Hamura Otsutsuki Hyuga Clan the moon has a greater chance of awakening the Byakugan. What was originally a blessing of their bloodline, which Hyuga Ashidana once envied, has now become a curse of their bloodline!

"This is really... ugh."

Mito Uzumaki sighed softly, then asked, "Your Leader, have you made any new discoveries?"

"We have indeed made a discovery."

The changes in the Hyuga Clan were noticed by Uchiha Takeyasu as soon as they occurred. His [Amenotokotachi] had expanded to a radius of 100,000 meters, and the area he could scan was larger than a province!

Sensing a sudden surge in his Ascension Points, Uchiha Takeyasu glanced around and saw the gruesome deaths of the Hyuga Clan.

They then followed the blood-red Byakugan that had traversed space and found themselves above the moon. In addition to the strong smell of blood, they also sensed the presence of the Otsutsuki brothers!

"Want to make one last desperate attempt?"

This reckless act of reaping rewards made Uchiha Takeyasu realize the opponent's all-or-nothing determination.

"If I don't take action, the next time we meet, I'll be facing the two Otsutsuki."

Uchiha Takeyasu activated [Amenotokotachi]'s Space Control ability, searching for spatial fluctuations in the surroundings, but unfortunately, he found nothing!

"I never expected these two to have this trick up their sleeve. Is it one of the methods by Hagoromo Otsutsuki created the Pure Land?"

Uchiha Takeyasu gave up on continuing the investigation. Since the other party was so confident, he might as well speed things up!

Meanwhile, during the scan, he also discovered the deaths of the Byakugan clan on the moon. After rescuing three children, Uchiha Takeyasu returned to the Presidential Building and began to lead the Military Affairs Department's meeting.

"I already know who the enemy is. You don't need to ask any more questions, nor do you need to worry about encountering the Hyuga Clan. All you need to do now is to go all out to conquer the Mana Continent and wipe out all the rebels!"

"Yes, sir!"

Amidst the unanimous shouts, Uchiha Takeyasu's figure slowly disappeared, and in the blink of an eye, he arrived at the Earth Province, exchanging a glance with his clone.

They tore through the spatial barrier, stepped hand in hand into the Sea of Magic, entered full power mode, donned the Susanoo armor, and slashed at the furious and shocked Dragon Emperor.

Layer upon layer of waves began to surge, as if the boundless Sea of Magic was nearly cleaved in two by this single strike!
