Don't say I bullied you!

Upon hearing the Elder's order, the group hesitated slightly and did not act.

Have you all forgotten the rules of the Hyuga Clan?!

After his angry rebuke, the Elder was about to activate the Caged Bird Seal.

Upon seeing this, the members of the Branch Family quickly stepped forward to block the path of Hyuga Hiashi and the others.

"I'm sorry, Clan Head Lord, but according to the Hyuga Clan Rules, Lord Hinata should indeed be branded with the Caged Bird Seal."

After handing Hinata to Hiashi, Kanami immediately used the Shadow Clone Jutsu.

"Let's go, Uncle, and... my Sister-in-law too."

Then, Kanami's clone picked up Hanabi Hyuga and leaped into the sky, disappearing into the distance.

Hyuga Hiashi understood what Kanami meant.

"Be careful." Then, Kanami's clone jumped away.

Although Hinata's injuries had stabilized, she needed to rest and recuperate, and her condition of almost completely depleting her Chakra remained extremely dangerous.

The Elder shouted, "Stop them!"

Several members of the Branch Family chased after the two.

Among them were those who were dissatisfied with the Elder forcing them to act, and there were also those who wanted Hinata to stay and be branded with the Caged Bird Seal like them.

For some members of the Branch Family who have always been under the control of Caged Bird Seal, misfortune is only considered a misfortune when it befalls them; only when it befalls everyone else can they feel at peace.

If the Caged Bird Seal could be removed, the Branch Family family members would definitely change their attitude and support its abolition. Unfortunately, since the existence of the Hyuga Clan, no one has ever seen anyone remove the Caged Bird Seal alive.

"Accept your fate, Chieftain. Unless the Caged Bird Seal can be freed, this system can never be destroyed!"

A fast Hyuga clansman shouted at Hyuga Hiashi's figure.

Just as the tribesman was about to catch up, he was suddenly kicked in the face by a figure.

He didn't even see the other person clearly; he felt as if he had been hit by a cannonball, and his entire nose bridge was dented and shattered!

Bang!

It then slammed heavily onto the ground with a loud thud.

He fainted before he could even utter a sound.

Seeing this, the remaining slow-moving tribesmen all slowed down.

The person involved didn't see it clearly, but those behind them who rolled their Byakugan saw it perfectly!

It was Kanami's Shadow Clone that turned back and delivered the swift and powerful kick.

"Shadow Clone are this powerful?!"

No wonder they were so confident; they came prepared.

Before this, everyone thought he was just someone the clan leader had paid to act, but they never expected him to be so capable!

Once all the Hyuga Clan who were trying to pursue them had stopped, Kanami walked up to the Hyuga clan member lying on the ground and used the Mystical Palm Technique.

Given Hinata's relationship with her father, he wouldn't do anything irreversible unless absolutely necessary, since this matter couldn't be handled like it Danzō Shimura.

Seeing that no one dared to step forward, the Elder was furious.

"You guys keep saying you're the strongest in Konoha! But you got scared by a kid and your legs went weak, huh?"

Suddenly, a discordant whisper rang out, "If you're not soft, then go ahead."

"Who?!"

Immediately, the Elder's eagle-like gaze swept over everyone.

"You dare to say it, but not admit it, huh?!"

However, since the voice was hidden among the crowd, he couldn't accurately determine who said what.

Seeing the Elder of the Hyuga fly into a rage, Kanami couldn't help but chuckle, "Old man, you're so easily frightened. Aren't you afraid of having a heart attack and dying suddenly?"

"You, you, you!"

Kanami retorted without any politeness, "What do you mean, 'you'? You old bastard!"

"How dare you humiliate my Hyuga Clan like this! I will definitely report you to the Konoha higher-ups!"

Kanami scoffed and gave him a disdainful look. "Ha, you're really laughable. Aren't you the Elder of the strongest clan? And you still want to complain?"

He scoffed at the Elder's words; the two old bastards who could help him were already dead.

The other two high-ranking officials of Konoha Village are currently overwhelmed with work and have no time to deal with this product of the old era.

"You... you're shameless!"

The Elder had long since run out of words; his vocabulary of insults was nowhere near that of Kanami.

'Completely harmless.'

Kanami stretched and yawned. "Is there anything else you want to say? If not, I'm leaving."

The group looked at each other without saying a word.

They discovered that the red-haired boy opposite them wasn't targeting them, but rather focusing his verbal attacks on their Elder.

The Elder was so enraged that he was almost spitting blood, but the others didn't seem to care much.

The Second Elder, being sensible, also refrained from interjecting.

Since they're not the ones insulting me, and I can't beat them in a fight, why bother going up there and getting myself into trouble?

"Useless thing!"

"Whoosh--whoosh--"

After finishing his tirade, the Elder took several deep breaths.

"You ignorant brat living in a peaceful era! Do you know how many times I've been through the trials of war?!"

"Byakugan!"

The Elder immediately adopted the starting stance of the Gentle Fist Style unique to the Hyuga Clan.

Seeing the situation was turning sour, the Second Elder, who had been watching from the sidelines, quickly tried to dissuade him. "Elder, you mustn't do this! You mustn't!"

He dared not watch the Elder fight seriously. Although he was once Elite Jonin at his peak, his current physique was probably going to be shattered by a single punch from the opponent.

Once the Elder falls, how can he, the Second Elder who has no presence whatsoever, possibly have a good life?

Hearing the Second Elder's advice, the Elder became even more enthusiastic.

"Second brother, don't stop me! I'll show him what a true powerhouse is!"

As the Second Elder pulled him away, he cursed inwardly, "Don't you have any idea what kind of body you're in? Do you really want to die in front of me today?"

Kanami watched their performance quietly from the side.

The Hyuga clan members standing nearby relaxed, becoming like a group of onlookers, just short of each grabbing a handful of melon seeds to eat.

"Gentlemen, are you planning to drag this out until dark?"

Kanami was so tired he was practically bursting with sleepiness.

The Elder, enraged, shouted, "Damn it, stop pulling me, Second Brother! If you pull me again, I'll beat you too!"

Hearing his furious curses, which sounded like he had cerebellar atrophy, the Second Elder simply let go of his hand.

Good advice is useless to a damn fool; if you want to die, then just die.

The Elder had broken free in an instant, froze for a second.

"You fucking let go?!"

Kanami said sincerely, "Seeing how old you are, I won't bully you. I'll use the Ninjutsu I just learned."

Upon hearing Kanami's words, the Elder was overjoyed, but his face remained grim and he made no move.

How proficient can someone who has just learned Ninjutsu be? And at his age, even if he's strong, he'd at most be familiar with B-rank Ninjutsu.

If I exchange a single blow with him and then decisively put on a pleased expression of seniority acknowledging juniority, I can both save face and deflate his arrogance!

Thinking of this, the Elder could Kakuzu that almost reached the sky.

Then he said in a serious tone, "Hmph! Don't say I'm bullying you, I'll let you make the first move!"
