Almighty Push

"As expected, even without using the Tenseigan for the time being, ninjas below the rank of Jonin are basically no match for me."

After knocking down the members of the Hyuga Branch Family who had approached him, Chiba assessed himself.

The purity of his own Byakugan, combined with the growth of the Tenseigan, provided him with a level of Chakra comparable to Uzumaki Naruto at the same age, while also granting him physical stamina and injury recovery speeds that far exceeded those of a normal person.

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

If he were to use only the basic abilities of the Tenseigan without activating the Tenseigan Chakra Mode, his strength should reach the level of an Elite Jonin or a weak Kage.

Once he activates the Tenseigan Chakra Mode, he should be strong enough to deal with most Kage-level powerhouses.

As his Tenseigan awakens further and he continues to grow older, his strength will only become even greater.

If he could find a way to acquire forbidden techniques like the Multiple Shadow Clone Jutsu, the Eight Inner Gates Formation, or the Flying Thunder God Technique, as well as the power of the Tailed Beasts, his combat prowess would undoubtedly take another leap forward.

Of course, these are all just speculations for now.

The exact extent of his strength will only be known after he has experienced more battles.

"Hyuga Chiba, what are you doing?"

"Stop now and let us take you to see the Clan Head. If there has been a misunderstanding, he will surely uphold justice for you!"

At this moment, Hyuga Tokuma, Hyuga Kaimon, and other Jonin from the Hyuga Branch Family arrived quickly after receiving the news, loudly urging Chiba to stop.

In fact, upon learning that Hyuga Chiba—who had never been branded with the Caged Bird Mark due to his innate blindness—had been revealed to possess a pair of Byakugan, Hyuga Tokuma and the others couldn't help but feel a sense of pity for him.

But in their view, Hyuga Chiba's decision to attack directly, and even his desire to strike at the Main Family, was simply too irrational.

After all, he was only a 12-year-old child who hadn't undergone much training; how could he possibly resist the entire Hyuga Clan?

Hyuga Tokuma and Hyuga Kaimon had to stop Hyuga Chiba. Otherwise, if he continued to cause such a scene, even if the Clan Head were still willing to speak up for him, his fate would likely be far worse than just being branded with the Caged Bird.

"Uphold justice?"

Upon hearing the words of Hyuga Tokuma and the others, Chiba's expression shifted, and he shook his head. "Forget it. While I am grateful for the care the Clan Head has shown me all this time, he couldn't even protect his own brother. What more could he possibly do for me?"

"Besides, compared to others, I prefer to trust in my own strength."

Hearing this, the expressions of Hyuga Tokuma and the others all changed.

Eight years ago, a Cloud Village envoy infiltrated the Hyuga compound, attempting to kidnap the Main Family's young lady, Hyuga Hinata. He was discovered by the Clan Head, Hyuga Hiashi, and killed with a single strike. The Cloud Village used this as a pretext to cause trouble, demanding that Konoha hand over Hyuga Hiashi's corpse, thereby gaining an opportunity to obtain the Byakugan of the Hyuga Main Family.

As a member of the Branch Family, Hizashi Hyuga ended up dying in place of Hyuga Hiashi, partly voluntarily and partly under duress.

Since that incident, the resentment of the Hyuga Branch Family toward the Hyuga Main Family had reached a certain breaking point.

It is just a pity that the Caged Bird Curse Mark is too impossible to break. In the end, the Hyuga Branch Family only ever managed to be extremely furious once, and that was when they were in a state of extreme rage.

However, Hyuga Tokuma and the others did not expect to hear about that incident involving Hizashi Hyuga from Hyuga Chiba's mouth again today.

"Since you know about that incident involving Lord Hizashi, you should understand that you absolutely cannot win against the entire Hyuga Clan."

Hyuga Iroha, also a Jonin of the Hyuga Branch Family, quickly calmed down and tried to persuade Chiba, "We can still show you mercy right now, but once the Main Family issues an order, we won't be able to hold anything back against you."

"So, you should just give up resisting!"

"Is that so? I don't believe it!" In response, a confident smile appeared on Chiba's face. "Today, I will show you how I stand against the entire Hyuga Clan and then walk out of here in broad daylight."

After saying that, he continued walking toward Hyuga Xiaoxiang.

Hyuga Yiquan and Hyuga Erquan had already fallen fast asleep; as their boss, how could Hyuga Xiaoxiang not fit in?

"You lunatic, don't come near me!"

Hyuga Xiaoxiang, who had originally thought he was safe, retreated in terror and hurriedly shouted at Hyuga Tokuma and the others, "What are you still waiting for? Hurry up and capture that guy!"

"Someone has already gone to notify my father. Do you really want to wait until he gets here before you make a move?"

"Sigh!" Hearing this, Hyuga Tokuma and the others knew they could no longer stall. After a helpless sigh, they attacked Hyuga Chiba in unison from different directions.

As Jonin, the speed of Hyuga Tokuma and the others was extremely fast, and the timing and angles they chose were impeccable.

If it were any other ordinary Jonin, they likely would not have been able to avoid the outcome of being easily taken down.

However...

"Eight Trigrams Palms: Heavenly Spin!"

The moment Hyuga Tokuma and the others' attacks were about to land on him, Chiba spun rapidly in place, creating a small, blue, swirling vortex of Chakra.

"Ah!"

Caught off guard, and with the amount of Chakra within Chiba's body far exceeding their own, Hyuga Tokuma and the others were immediately sent flying by his Eight Trigrams Palms: Heavenly Spin.

"He actually knows Heavenly Spin?"

"Is he really just from the Branch Family? With this kind of talent and strength, he's practically more of a Main Family member than the Main Family themselves!"

The surrounding Hyuga clansmen felt completely numb after witnessing this scene.

"Impossible, how could he be this strong?"

In contrast, Hyuga Xiaoxiang felt like he was having a mental breakdown.

He and Hyuga Chiba were not far apart in age, and he was a member of the Main Family, after all.

Yet Hyuga Chiba was able to deflect several Branch Family Jonin with his Rotation, while he didn't even have the confidence to deal with a mere Chunin?

What was worse, after dealing with Hyuga Tokuma and the others, Hyuga Chiba had actually fixed his deep gaze upon him once again.

"Father, come save me!"

At this moment, Hyuga Xiaoxiang could no longer care about anything else. To avoid whatever Hyuga Chiba might do to him, he immediately utilized the Father Summoning Technique!

"Rotation!"

As Hyuga Xiaoxiang's voice fell, a blue tornado, very similar to the move Hyuga Chiba had just used, descended from the sky, striking directly toward the top of the latter's head.

"Shinra... Tensei!"

Seeing this, Chiba's pair of pure Byakugan were instantly replaced by a pair of blue-and-white Tenseigan, and a powerful Repulsion was released from his body.

The blue tornado descending from the sky was instantly sent flying by this powerful Repulsion the moment it was about to land on his head!

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