Silver Wheel Reincarnation Explosion

Boom!

Rain poured down as thunder cracked.

Toroi and the others watched the flames part in the distance and the figure emerge from within them, cold sweat gradually beading on their foreheads.

What kind of Ninjutsu was that?

Some unknown Kekkei Genkai?

Meanwhile, Hyuga Yunchuan raised a hand. Blue Chakra surged forth, enveloping his body like a robe fluttering in the wind.

His body was lifted by a gentle force, and he slowly floated into the air.

Then, two black Chakra Beads gradually formed, circling around Hyuga Yunchuan's wrists.

The "beads" condensed by the Tenseigan were not Truth-Seeking Orbs that could only be used after merging with the Ten-Tails. Their function was actually closer to the Rinnegan's "Black Rods."

But when Hyuga Yunchuan tried to condense a third Chakra Bead, the already faint connection was suddenly severed.

He lost his perception of the Tenseigan on the moon and could no longer draw Pupil Power from it.

"Such a quick reaction?"

Hyuga Yunchuan's blue eyes remained placid as he thought, It seems the Otsutsuki Clan on the moon hasn't died out yet.

Otsutsuki Toneri should have only been three or four years old now, just like Naruto. If Toneri were alone, he could never have severed Hyuga Yunchuan's connection to that Tenseigan so quickly.

So, this opportunity to borrow that Tenseigan's power would only come once.

Realizing this, Hyuga Yunchuan suppressed the greed and agitation in his heart and looked toward the dozens of unfamiliar presences in the distance.

Finally, they're here, he thought. This Pupil Power should be enough to give this performance its grand finale.

Buzzz! Buzz!

The giant Shuriken tore through the rain and wind with piercing hums as eight of them spun toward Hyuga Yunchuan, grinding in to kill him.

Magnet Release: Hornet Twin Blades!

Brilliant sparks burst before him, flaring and scattering through the dark, gloomy rainy night. In just a few seconds, dozens of grinding clashes had taken place.

A cornered beast still fought.

Toroi had truly gone mad. He paid no heed to his Chakra expenditure, attacking with everything he had in an attempt to shred Hyuga Yunchuan apart.

He even strode toward Hyuga Yunchuan himself, his bloody, mangled face twisted with savage ferocity.

And Shinra Tensei was not irresistible. The caster also had to endure part of the recoil.

Just as when Deva Path Pain fought Naruto in his enraged Six-Tails form—when something could not be repelled, the caster himself would be blasted away—Hyuga Yunchuan now felt a heavy counterforce.

"Toroi, the Magnet Release ninja?"

Hyuga Yunchuan thrust out his hand. Several dull blasts rang out as the Shuriken spiraling around him were hurled away by the repulsive force.

Bang! Bang!

When Toroi tried to control the Shuriken again and resume the attack, Hyuga Yunchuan's figure suddenly vanished from the air.

He had lost sight of his target.

"Above!"

Akamichi Chodo's roar came from behind him. Toroi's pupils constricted as he instinctively looked up.

But before he could turn around and react, an immense force came crashing down from above.

Boom!

It was as though an iron wall had slammed down upon Toroi. His entire body was forced to the ground, his knees hitting the earth with a chilling crack.

"The symbol on your forehead..."

Rainwater slid down from his hood as Hyuga Yunchuan looked down at Toroi's Forehead Protector. His brilliant eyes shone even brighter than the moon in the night sky.

"Tell me." His voice was hoarse and low. "Does the Ninja Sect still exist?"

Toroi knelt on the ground in a miserable state, feeling that lofty gaze upon him. All he felt was humiliation, rage, and fear.

"Still won't speak?"

Hyuga Yunchuan's tone remained cold, his voice as calm and unruffled as a mirror-like lake.

Crack! Crack!

"Ahhh!!"

Amid a series of bone-shattering cracks that made teeth ache, Toroi was forced onto all fours and cried out miserably. He hurriedly shouted, "No! It doesn't exist anymore! The Ninja Sect is only a legend!!"

"A legend?" Hyuga Yunchuan murmured as if talking to himself. "Ninjas still exist, but the Ninja Sect founded by Ōtsutsuki Hagoromo has vanished?"

Wait, Ōtsutsuki Hagoromo? The Ninja Sect? What did that mean?

Toroi's pupils began to tremble violently. An unbelievable guess emerged in his mind as he struggled to raise his head and look at the figure above him.

Amid the raging wind and rain, that figure was as unyielding as a black cliff lined with jagged fangs. Any towering wave that crashed against it would be shattered apart.

And his pride as a Kekkei Genkai ninja was laughable before this monster, like a fish striking a reef. Baring his fangs and claws could bring only despair.

As though sensing something, Hyuga Yunchuan looked into the distance.

While he had been dealing with Toroi, the Konoha group had all fled without prior agreement.

A very rational choice.

Floating in the air, Hyuga Yunchuan did not give chase. Instead, he looked toward the rustling forest on the other side.

Dense footsteps rang out through the noisy night as dozens of muscular men charged from the woods.

"That is..."

"Lord Toroi!"

The Kumogakure ninjas stationed along the border between the Land of Hot Water and the Land of Lightning had arrived, never expecting to witness such a horrifying and bizarre scene.

But they quickly reacted. Flares were fired into the sky, their blinding light illuminating the entire dark rainy night and splitting the Kumogakure ninjas' shadows into several shapes across the ground.

Within a few breaths, the area was surrounded. There was no gap through which to escape; it seemed that nothing could flee even with wings.

The Kumogakure ninjas possessed excellent combat discipline. In mere moments, they completed the blockade.

They locked down Hyuga Yunchuan's every movement from every direction and waited for the superior leading them to issue orders.

"Run!!"

Toroi's pained, despairing roar reached their ears, leaving the confused Kumogakure ninjas frozen.

There was only one enemy. Who was supposed to run?

"This guy is a monster! A monster sealed here! His ability is—"

Before Toroi could finish relaying the information, Hyuga Yunchuan lowered his eyelids slightly.

Boom!

Toroi's limbs twisted as they smashed into the ground. His eyes were filled with bloodshot veins on the verge of bursting, while his face pressed against the earth warped into a wrinkled mass. His entire body suffered unimaginable agony.

The Kumogakure ninjas' expressions changed at the sight. Several hotheads charged forward.

"Release Lord Toroi!"

Hyuga Yunchuan sighed. "You're so noisy."

Pop!!

It was like bursting a human-shaped bag of blood. Its stored liquid and solid contents exploded with a pop, and shapeless crimson matter splattered across the ground!

"You bastard!" Witnessing this, a Kumogakure ninja furiously gave the order. "Attack! Kill him!"

Hyuga Yunchuan finally raised his head and looked at the charging Kumogakure ninjas.

He gently lifted an arm. The two Chakra Beads revolved before him, gradually accelerating.

Then a silver ring appeared before him—a flawless silver ring without the slightest imperfection.

Facing the Kumogakure ninjas' Ninjutsu, Hyuga Yunchuan softly uttered several words.

Silver Wheel Reincarnation Explosion.

With that indifferent decree, a terrifying hurricane surged forth.

Boom!!

A deafening roar swept through the curtain of rain before him. The terrifying impact shattered the ground beneath his feet, making his hood flutter aside and reveal those deep, ghostly blue pupils.

On a tree several kilometers away, a black-and-white figure protruded halfway from the trunk.

"No, no! Impossible! Who is that?!"

Black Zetsu, who had seen and learned much over a thousand years, stared at the figure in the sky. His hoarse voice was filled with terror as an icy chill rose from the depths of his soul.

Who was that guy? How could that kind of power possibly appear in the Ninja World?!

"Why are you still standing there?! Run!" White Zetsu was even more terrified. He immediately dragged his body underground and fled without hesitation.

Meanwhile, in another direction, among the Konoha group fleeing in utter disarray, "Hyuga Yunchuan" at the rear of the group suddenly stopped and looked into the unnoticed Shadow beside him.

"Hehe, so you're Hyuga Yunchuan. I've heard so much about you."

A bandage-wrapped figure stepped out from within, greedily eyeing Hyuga Yunchuan's Byakugan as he smiled. "I originally came here to follow that Magnet Release ninja, but the Byakugan seems pretty good too."
