Brothers

"A backup plan?"

As soon as Hyuga Hiashi finished speaking, Uchiha Yue became fully alert, clearly sensing the fleeting killing intent in Hyuga Hiashi's eyes.

However, how could Hyuga Hiashi, a Jonin-level ninja, not see the vigilance of Uchiha Yue in front of him?

So, the moment Uchiha Yue became alert, Hyuga Hiashi smiled contemptuously and said, "Tsuki-kun, don't think you're really that strong. In my eyes, you're like an ant. Do you think you're really safe just because you escaped the pursuit of the Iwagakure and Kumogakure ninjas? Didn't you feel that I've already placed a barrier around the house you're in?"

"A barrier?"

When Hyuga Hiashi arrived, Uchiha Yue secretly regretted his carelessness, failing to even notice the barrier Hyuga Hiashi had placed there. Then, when Uchiha Yue used his Purple Eye Perception, he indeed discovered a barrier surrounding his house. Moreover, the barrier covered all of Uchiha Yue and Minato Namikaze's rooms—meaning that Uchiha Yue and Minato Namikaze were all targets of Hyuga Hiashi Hyuga's scheme.

However, facing Hyuga Hiashi, Uchiha Yue knew he couldn't panic, or he would only fall into Hyuga Hiashi's trap.

In particular, Uchiha Yue cannot attack Hyuga Hiashi first, otherwise Hyuga Hiashi to say about him.

Then, Uchiha Yue took a deep breath, slightly raised the corners of his mouth, revealing a mocking smile, and said, "Hyuga Hiashi, I knew you had a backup plan. But, we're all in Konoha, can you really attack me? As a fellow Konoha ninja, if you kill me, not only will the Third Hokage not let you off, but even my master Tsunade won't let you off!"

Uchiha Yue paused slightly, then continued, "Hyuga Hiashi, so many people saw me go with you to recuperate. Unless you can kill Minato and the others, there's no place for you in Konoha. So, I advise you to give up your idea! Since your open scheme failed to harm me, your so-called backup plan seems even more powerless!"

"Hahaha, Moon Lord, you're so real!"

After hearing Uchiha Yue's words, Hyuga Hiashi laughed arrogantly a few times and said, "Do you think my backup plan is that simple? The barrier I've set up right now is just an ordinary barrier. So, my backup plan isn't the barrier in front of you at all; it's just the cleanup work after killing you! Yue-kun, actually, I've already prepared the corpses of enemy ninjas! After you and I kill you, if we put some enemy ninja corpses in the room, will anyone think I killed you?"

"No, no one will believe I killed you!"

"Because I am the Hyuga Clan, while you are merely a member of the Uchiha Clan!"

Then, Hyuga Hiashi unfurled a scroll of ninjutsu in front of Uchiha Yue.

Then, after Hyuga Hiashi released the sealed item from the ninjutsu scroll, the corpse of an enemy ninja actually appeared in front of Uchiha Yue.

Realizing that Hyuga Hiashi had indeed prepared a backup plan, one that would allow him to clean up the mess even after killing him, a look of seriousness flashed in Uchiha Yue's eyes. Immediately afterward, without the slightest hesitation, Uchiha Yue formed a hand Hand Seals in front of Hyuga Hiashi and used the Falling Moon Style: Afterimage Fist to dodge.

But...

Just as Uchiha Yue finished the Falling Moon Style: Afterimage Fist, Hyuga Hiashi's fingers had already landed on Uchiha Yue's body!

"Bang..."

As a Hyuga Hiashi -level ninja, Uchiha Yue no chance to retaliate before being struck by Hyuga Hiashi's Gentle Fist.

However, Hyuga Hiashi probably never expected that his Gentle Fist technique would be completely ineffective in restricting Uchiha Yue usage. This was because, back when Uchiha Yue first broke through his spiritual energy barrier, Uchiha Yue 'Hyuga Hiashi Gentle Fist was perfect, Uchiha Yue could still use chakra. He immediately gripped his katana, Fubuki Tachi, and launched a fierce attack on Hyuga Hiashi!

"Falling Moon Style: Clone Slash!"

"Whoosh..."

"Whoosh..."

Wielding his Fubuki Tachi, Uchiha Yue, despite his heavy injuries and exhaustion, forced himself to fight Hyuga Hiashi.

Right now, Uchiha Yue only hopes that the sound of battle will attract the attention of Minato Namikaze, Kushina Uzumaki, and the others.

Because Uchiha Yue was very clear that in his current state, he had absolutely no chance of defeating Hyuga Hiashi in front of him.

Unfortunately, Hyuga Hiashi's eyes were filled with disdain as he watched Uchiha Yue's two clones attack. Then, using his Purple Eye, Uchiha Yue could clearly see that Hyuga Hiashi Uchiha Yue shattered the clone with just a Hyuga Hiashi Uchiha Yue clone, he appeared before Uchiha Yue. Immediately, Hyuga Hiashi's fist landed heavily on Uchiha Yue's abdomen!

"Bang..."

Hyuga Hiashi used his power with great precision; his punches could only cause Uchiha Yue pain, but not send him flying.

Immediately afterwards...

Seeing that Uchiha Yue no longer had the power to fight back, Hyuga Hiashi grabbed Uchiha Yue by the neck.

Gradually, Uchiha Yue's face turned purplish-brown due to difficulty breathing.

However, looking at the pained expression on Uchiha Yue 'Hyuga Hiashi eyes only held a sense of pleasure. Then, Hyuga Hiashi's grip on Uchiha Yue's neck tightened even more. As he tightened his grip, he spoke slowly and coldly, "Tsuki-kun, don't blame me for killing you; blame your extraordinary talent! Hyuga Hiashi, I've killed you, Uchiha Clan will have no one left to worry about! In the future, our Hyuga Clan Konoha! Unfortunately, you won't live to see that day!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a murderous glint flashed in Hyuga Hiashi's eyes, and he was about to snap Uchiha Yue's throat.

But...

Just when Uchiha Yue was in a state of despair, Hyuga Hiashi, who was standing in front of him, suddenly collapsed to the ground!

"Who?"

Suddenly seeing Hyuga Hiashi slumped there in pain, Uchiha Yue's eyes widened in shock, and he immediately wondered who had saved him.

As Uchiha Yue, exhausted and heavily injured, Hyuga Hiashi distanced himself from Uchiha Yue, he finally saw the person who had saved him, using his Purple Eye to perceive the surrounding situation!

However, when Uchiha Yue saw that it was that person who had saved him, the shock in his eyes deepened even further!

Because, the one who came to rescue Uchiha Yue at this moment was Hyuga Hiashi's younger brother!

Hizashi Hyuga!
