Shinra Tensei

"Sure enough, even without using the Tenseigan for now, ninja below Jonin level were basically no match for me."

After knocking down all the Hyuga Branch Family members who had approached him, Chiba made his own assessment.

His Pure Byakugan and the Tenseigan's growth had given him Chakra comparable to Uzumaki Naruto's at the same age, while also making his stamina, injury recovery speed, and other physical abilities far surpass those of ordinary people.

By Chiba's own estimation, even without using the Tenseigan, his strength should have reached Jonin level.

If he only used the Tenseigan's basic abilities without activating Tenseigan Chakra Mode, his strength should reach somewhere between Elite Jonin and Weak Kage.

Once he activated Tenseigan Chakra Mode, he should be capable of dealing with most Kage Level experts.

Once his Tenseigan awakened further and he grew older, his strength would become even greater.

If he found a way to obtain forbidden jutsu such as the Multiple Shadow Clone Jutsu, Eight Inner Gates Formation, and Flying Thunder God Technique, as well as the power of a Tailed Beast, his combat power would undoubtedly undergo another leap.

Of course, these were only estimates for now.

The exact extent of his strength would only become clear after he experienced more battles.

"Hyuga Chiba, what are you doing?"

"Stop this at once! Come with us to see the Clan Head. If there's some misunderstanding, he will definitely see justice done for you!"

At that moment, Jonin of the Hyuga Branch Family, such as Hyuga Tokuma and Hyuga Kaimon, rushed over after receiving the news and loudly tried to persuade Chiba.

In truth, after learning that Hyuga Chiba, who had never received the Caged Bird Mark because of his Innate Blindness, had been exposed as possessing a pair of Byakugan, Hyuga Tokuma and the others could not help feeling pity for him.

But in their eyes, Chiba's decision to attack directly, even intending to strike at the Main Family, was simply far too irrational.

After all, how could a twelve-year-old child who had barely trained in daily life possibly resist the entire Hyuga Clan?

Hyuga Tokuma and Hyuga Kaimon had to stop Chiba. If they allowed him to continue causing trouble, then even if the Clan Head remained willing to speak for him, his fate likely would not be as simple as receiving the Caged Bird Mark.

"See justice done?"

Hearing Hyuga Tokuma and the others, Chiba's expression shifted slightly before he shook his head. "Forget it. I'm grateful for all the care the Clan Head has shown me, but he couldn't even protect his own younger brother. What more could he possibly do for me?"

"Besides, compared to relying on others, I trust my own strength more."

Hyuga Tokuma and the others all changed expression at those words.

Eight years ago, an envoy from Cloud Village infiltrated the Hyuga Household in an attempt to abduct Hyuga Hinata, the eldest daughter of the Main Family. After Clan Head Hyuga Hiashi discovered him and killed him with a single palm strike, Cloud Village used the matter as a pretext to cause trouble, demanding that Konoha hand over Hyuga Hiashi's corpse so they could gain a chance to obtain the Main Family's Byakugan.

Hizashi Hyuga of the Branch Family had, in a sense, volunteered—and in another sense, been forced—to die in Hyuga Hiashi's place.

After that incident, the resentment the Hyuga Branch Family harbored toward the Hyuga Main Family reached a certain peak.

Unfortunately, the Caged Bird Curse Mark was too impossible to overcome. In the end, the Hyuga Branch Family had merely been extremely furious for one bout of extreme fury.

Hyuga Tokuma and the others simply had not expected to hear about Hizashi Hyuga's matter once again from Chiba's mouth today.

"Since you know about Lord Hizashi, then you should understand that you can never defeat the entire Hyuga Clan."

Hyuga Iroha, also a Jonin of the Hyuga Branch Family, quickly calmed down and urged Chiba, "We can still show you mercy now, but once the Main Family gives the order, we won't be able to hold back against you at all."

"So you should give up resisting!"

"Is that so? I don't believe it." Chiba wore a confident smile. "Today, I'll show you how I'll stand against the entire Hyuga Clan and then walk out of here openly."

After saying that, he continued toward Hyuga Xiaoxiang.

Hyuga Yiquan and Hyuga Erquan had already fallen over asleep. As their boss, how could Hyuga Xiaoxiang be left out?

"You lunatic, don't come any closer!"

Hyuga Xiaoxiang, who had thought he was already safe, recoiled in terror and hurriedly shouted at Hyuga Tokuma and the others, "What are you waiting for? Capture that guy already!"

"Someone has already gone to notify my father. Are you planning to wait until he gets here before making a move?"

"Alas!" Hyuga Tokuma and the others knew they could delay no longer. After a helpless sigh, they attacked Hyuga Chiba together from different directions.

As Jonin, Hyuga Tokuma and the others moved at incredible speed, their timing and angles chosen to perfection.

Had it been any other ordinary Jonin, they likely would have been unable to avoid being easily subdued by them.

However...

"Eight Trigrams Palm: Rotation!"

Just as Hyuga Tokuma and the others' attacks were about to land on him, Chiba rapidly spun in place, creating a small blue tornado of Chakra.

"Ah!"

Caught off guard, and with Chiba's Chakra reserves vastly exceeding their own, Hyuga Tokuma and the others were immediately sent flying by his Eight Trigrams Palm: Rotation.

"He even knows Rotation?"

"Is he really just from the Branch Family? With that kind of talent and strength, he's more Main Family than the Main Family!"

The surrounding Hyuga Clan members who witnessed the scene felt utterly numb.

"That's impossible. How could he be this strong?"

In contrast, Hyuga Xiaoxiang felt as though he were on the verge of collapse.

He and Hyuga Chiba were nearly the same age, and he was even from the Main Family.

Yet Hyuga Chiba could use Rotation to send several Branch Family Jonin flying, while he did not even have the confidence to deal with an ordinary Chunin?

Even worse, after dealing with Hyuga Tokuma and the others, Hyuga Chiba once again fixed that deep gaze on him.

"Father, come save me!"

At that moment, Hyuga Xiaoxiang could no longer care about anything else. To keep Hyuga Chiba from doing anything to him, he immediately used the Father Summoning Technique!

"Rotation!"

As Hyuga Xiaoxiang's voice fell, a blue tornado very similar to Chiba's earlier technique descended from the sky and attacked directly toward his head.

"Shinra... Tensei!"

Seeing this, Chiba's pair of Pure Byakugan was instantly replaced by blue-white Tenseigan, and a powerful repulsive force erupted from his body.

The descending blue tornado was instantly blasted away by that powerful repulsive force just as it was about to strike the top of his head!

Just like Hyuga Tokuma and the others who had been sent flying earlier!
