The Puppet Army Born of the Tenseigan

Why should I hand it over to you?

Seeing that their clan leader had spoken, the Hyuga clan members behind Hyuga Hiashi mustered their courage and spoke up as well.

"Exactly! You just appeared out of nowhere in the village, and out of nowhere made the Clan Head Lord hand over the Byakugan to you? What do you take our Hyuga Clan for?"

Although the Caged Bird Seal and its Sealing Jutsu were created to protect the Byakugan, the Hyuga clan's hearts were always united when it came to the overall interests of the Hyuga Clan.

The resentment of those who Branch Family up was never directed at the Main Family or any particular clan member, but rather at the Sealing Jutsu that separated them and made them feel inexplicably inferior.

"Clan Head Lord, Brother Kō, let me go and call the rest of the clan members over."

One of the Hyuga clan members asked in a low voice.

Don't go.

Hyuga Hiashi and Hyuga Kō both shook their heads.

After activating their Byakugan, the two of them had already taken in the situation outside.

The clansman who went to inform the Hokage has been restrained by the Puppets outside.

As for where the huge Puppet Army outside came from and whose handiwork it was, neither of them were stupid. They understood without even thinking that it was brought by the guy in front of them who called himself Otsutsuki Toneri.

What Hyuga Hiashi couldn't understand was that the sudden appearance of such a large Puppet Army in Konoha hadn't alerted Konoha's Sensory Barrier.

He couldn't understand how they had gotten into the village.

"Now we just hope the Sensory Division Ninja will notice something amiss here..."

He muttered to himself.

It's impossible not to be nervous.

From the moment he activated his Byakugan and saw the Puppet Army outside, he began to worry.

After all, there were quite a few Puppets, and they appeared silently right next to us.

Why...?

The Hyuga clansman didn't understand.

Because Toneri used the power of the Tenseigan to project his body into Konoha Village, and the power of the Tenseigan suppressed the Byakugan of the Hyuga Clan, the Byakugan of the Branch Family, which was inherently suppressed, was almost impossible for anyone to awaken Byakugan the second strong pressure.

Of course, this is not the case for all members Branch Family with sufficient Byakugan purity and extremely high talent are able to awaken their Byakugan under strong pressure.

Hyuga Kō stared straight ahead, beads of sweat rolling down his face.

"Because we are now surrounded, and Hyuga Ryūsei, who went to inform the Lord Hokage, has also been captured by the enemy..."

"What?! Longjing has been captured?!"

The Hyuga clansman's expression changed instantly.

So, we're completely isolated and helpless?

"..."

No one answered him, but silence is also a response.

Even the Hyuga clan members who had initially had some confidence began to back down.

They are now placing their hopes on Hyuga Hiashi and Hyuga Kō.

Their Hyuga Clan's most powerful Kekkei Genkai, the Byakugan, can only be activated by the two of them now.

Looks like I'll have to put in some extra effort.

As soon as Otsutsuki Toneri finished speaking, a thought crossed his mind.

The Puppet Army, which was originally outside the Training Ground, suddenly burst through the door!

"What's this...!"

"Ah!!"

In an instant, the Puppet Army that rushed in bound all the Hyuga clan members present who had not yet activated their Byakugan.

Those Hyuga clan members who hadn't activated their Byakugan had no time to react to the Puppets's attack.

Even with his Byakugan activated, Hyuga Kō didn't gain any advantage.

With so many Puppets, he could only rely on his all-seeing Byakugan to predict their movements and dodge, while simultaneously launching Gentle Fist from the sides.

Only Hyuga Hiashi did not seem overwhelmed by the Puppets's attacks.

Although he could maneuver with ease amidst the Puppet Army, the limitations of the terrain still posed a significant challenge. He couldn't effectively utilize techniques like the Eight Trigrams Palms Rotation" technique, which combined all-around defense and offense, here.

The Puppet Army was basically unscathed except for being completely destroyed, while Hyuga Hiashi Chakra whether he dodged or attacked.

The outcome was predictable.

Throughout the entire process, Otsutsuki Toneri never made a move.

This further increased the pressure on Hyuga Hiashi and others.

Just then, Otsutsuki Toneri suddenly began to move.

He walked slowly toward Hyuga Hiashi.

"Clan Head Lord!"

Hyuga Kō, seeing the Puppet Army surrounding Hyuga Hiashi, shouted a warning.

"Bang!"

However, no sooner had he finished shouting Puppets's fist landed on his face.

Then more Puppets began to bombard him with punches.

After being hit once, it becomes impossible to dodge or defend against subsequent punches.

"Filial piety! You--"

Before Hyuga Hiashi could finish speaking, the Puppets's attacks became increasingly intense.

Even though the Byakugan can clearly capture the entire 360-degree surroundings, it is very difficult for the body to react and dodge accurately.

Soon, fine beads of sweat began to seep out from his forehead more and more densely.

"All you need to do is give me your eyes, why do these pointless things?"

Otsutsuki Toneri walked up to Hyuga Hiashi, his empty eye sockets staring straight into Hyuga Hiashi's two Byakugan.

"Clan Head Lord...! Don't... worry about us! If Clan Head Lord lose, we won't survive either!"

"Clan Head Lord!"

"Clan Head Lord, we won't... die so easily."

The bound Hyuga clansmen forced smiles and shouted at Hyuga Hiashi.

While parrying the Puppets, Hyuga Hiashi nodded solemnly. "I understand."

Immediately, his expression turned serious, and he fixed his gaze on Otsutsuki Toneri: "The Hyuga Clan is the strongest in Konoha!"

"I'll show you the power of the Hyuga Clan!"

Hyuga Hiashi roared angrily and assumed the starting stance of the Gentle Fist Style.

"Eight Trigrams Palm - Eight Trigrams Palms Revolving Heaven!"

He spun his entire body at high speed, Chakra leaked wildly from every vein in his body. As he spun, a bright blue Chakra shield with no blind spots was formed.

"Bang—Bang!"

As the Chakra flowed out, the powerful impact blasted away and destroyed all the Puppets around Hyuga Hiashi.

However, due to the limited space, the Hyuga clan members in the distance were also affected by his use of the Eight Trigrams Palms Revolving Heaven Technique.

Although the Puppets binding them were also knocked away, the Hyuga clansmen were also swept up and scattered everywhere.

After seeing Hyuga Hiashi use the Eight Trigrams Palms Revolving Heaven, Hyuga Kō also used the Eight Trigrams Palms Revolving Heaven.

The two people's rotation speeds cancel each other out, which not only prevents them from harming themselves, but also increases the attack range of the Eight Trigrams Palms Revolving Heaven.

Soon, the sound of things breaking and shattering filled the air.

The limbs and remains of the Puppet Army flew everywhere on the Training Ground.

As a result, some members of the Hyuga clan also had cuts on their faces, but fortunately, none of them were fatal.

"Pat-pat--"

However, Otsutsuki Toneri was unaffected; his footsteps sounded even heavier as Eight Trigrams Palms Revolving Heaven gradually came to a halt.

Every step felt like it was stomping on the hearts of Hyuga Hiashi and the others.

"How is that possible? Why are you completely unharmed?"

Hyuga Hiashi Otsutsuki Toneri with an expression of disbelief.
