In this world, there are always some people.

Weak in strength, they always attribute all problems to others.

With talent as weak as Might Dai, he fought the Seven Ninja Swordsmen alone!

Might Guy also lacked talent, but through hard work, he became an elite jonin, and in the end, he almost killed Uchiha Madara, stepping on all those of his generation, even the strongest Hatake Kakashi!

"Narrow-minded, only able to see three inches in front of them."

Hyuga Kagami's posture was arrogant, like a god looking down from on high.

He crossed his arms.

Looking down at ants!

"Idiot, your capacity is limited to this!"

Buzz!

Everyone was shocked, Ueno Ichiro's eyes widened in disbelief!

Was this still the polite Hyuga Kagami from before?

Why did he feel more like a tyrannical ruler?

Sarutobi Hiruzen and Shimura Danzo were so shocked they couldn't speak. The two exchanged glances, and a sudden thought struck them!

That domineering figure they had only seen in their youth!

Uchiha Madara!

The same crossed arms!

The same overflowing dominance!

Sarutobi Hiruzen gasped, "If such a domineering ninja appeared in the Uchiha clan, it would be understandable, after all, Uchiha Madara was so domineering and unrestrained."

"But for the usually gentle Hyuga clan to produce such a domineering ninja."

He rubbed his forehead.

He felt it was somewhat dreamlike.

On the battlefield.

Murakami No was furious!

"I'm going to kill you!"

At this moment, the tactics he had thought about all night were thrown to the back of his mind; he only wanted Hyuga Kagami to pay the price!

He quickly formed hand seals and roared, "Earth Style: Stone Barrage!"

Instantly!

Countless egg-sized stones shot wildly towards Hyuga Kagami!

"The futile struggle of an ant."

Hyuga Kagami sneered, casually pulling out a scroll. With a puff of smoke, a giant war hammer appeared!

This was the suitable weapon he had found after visiting five or six weapon shops yesterday.

He was tall, already one meter seventy-four!

But the giant hammer in his hand was as tall as he was!

The thick, massive hammer, contrasted with Hyuga Kagami's height, delivered a soul-stirring impact!

"The Hyuga clan... isn't their specialty Gentle Fist? Since when did they have hammers?"

Everyone was dumbfounded.

Blank expressions.

But the next moment!

A sonic boom sounded!

A thunderous roar!

Hyuga Kagami swung the giant hammer fiercely, sonic booms echoing, and all the small stones were hammered away!

"How is this possible?! Earth Style: Stone Barrage is a B-rank ninjutsu, how could it be dispersed so easily?"

Murakami No's pupils contracted.

He shouted in disbelief.

But Hyuga Kagami gave him no chance to react. In the next instant, he stomped his foot, and the ground cracked!

He shot forward!

The giant hammer was raised high, and in Murakami No's sight, it was like a massive cannonball, closing in in an instant!

Obscuring the sky!

Unstoppable!

"I can't win, I can't win! If that hits me, I'll definitely die!"

Murakami No trembled all over, his fighting spirit completely shattered. He roared, "I lose! I surrender!"

His legs gave out, and he collapsed onto his knees with a thud!

The next instant.

BOOM!

The giant hammer, wreathed in a gale, slammed into the wall directly behind him. Murakami No's ears rang, his blood felt as though it had frozen solid, and his pupils dilated as he dared not move a single muscle.

The wall behind him collapsed in a thunderous crash!

"At least you have the self-awareness to surrender."

Hyuga Kagami slowly retracted the giant hammer, frowning slightly as he looked at the dents on its surface.

This hammer isn't very good. It seems I'll need to find an opportunity to get a better one.

He had just grabbed this hammer at random.

It was merely a standard refined steel weapon.

The same material as a kunai.

Yet, it couldn't withstand his strength!

"Gulp!"

Someone swallowed hard, and cold sweat began to bead on everyone's foreheads.

Akimichi Hara's voice trembled as he couldn't help but take two steps back. "You've got to be kidding, right?"

Is this really the kind of power a human can possess?

To smash a wall to pieces with a single hammer blow—even my old man might not be able to do that, right?

This was absolutely terrifying!

It's just a sparring match, man!

If you're this violent, people are going to die!

Sarutobi Hiruzen was completely numb. He turned his head stiffly toward Ueno Ichiro, still unable to recover from the shock. "Hyuga Kagami is this savage—as his teacher, did you know about this?"

Murakami No was also a Chunin.

The goal had been to test Hyuga Kagami's strength.

But now, it looked more like Hyuga Kagami was the one testing the ninja!

This power was just too absurd!

Even Tsunade's monstrous strength wasn't this outrageous!

Ueno Ichiro's voice wavered as he forced a smile. "Perhaps... during this summer break, Kagami-kun's strength increased a little?"

A little?

Sarutobi Hiruzen felt it was utterly ridiculous. Looking at the wall where debris was still falling, the more he thought about it, the more absurd it seemed!

"Training Ground No. 1 has never been destroyed like this before!"

"Ueno Ichiro, even Tsunade's monstrous strength isn't this outrageous! And you're telling me Hyuga Kagami's strength only increased a little?"

He was completely bewildered.

Why would a member of the Hyuga clan, who had always believed in Gentle Fist and finesse, turn out to be such a savage ninja?

Could it be that extremes meet?

Just like how the peace-loving Uchiha Shisui appeared within the rebellious Uchiha clan?

On the training ground, Hyuga Kagami paid no mind to the expressions of the others.

"The first one, eliminated."

"You're next."

He looked toward Akimichi Hara, dragging the giant hammer across the ground with a harsh, grinding roar, and began to walk toward him step by step.

Akimichi Hara's face stiffened. "Brother, you're my own brother!"

"Let's not do this, let's not, there's no need to take it this far! This is just a sparring match!"

His voice trembled.

Are you kidding me!

Although he was already a Chunin and a master of taijutsu, there was no way he could be a match for Hyuga Kagami.

"Don't worry, I'll go easy on you."

Hyuga Kagami offered a word of comfort, raised the giant hammer in his hand, and brought it crashing down!

"Secret Technique: Partial Multi-Size Technique!"

Akimichi Hara's hands rapidly expanded!

They stretched to three meters long each!

His eyes were resolute, and he shouted, "Although my strength isn't as good as yours, I will absolutely not give up easily. Let me see just how powerful your strength truly is!"

The people of the Akimichi Clan were good at everything.

Except for being a bit stubborn in battle.

"Good fighting spirit."

Hyuga Kagami commented indifferently, and the next moment, with a roar, Akimichi Hara was sent flying!

But he held back his strength.

To say he was sent flying was more like being 'pushed away.'

Akimichi Hara didn't suffer any injuries, but his arms still went numb, unable to be lifted!

"Such terrifying strength!"

His pupils contracted sharply, and his arms trembled violently. "With the Expansion Jutsu, my strength is already comparable to a Jonin, yet I still couldn't last a moment in your hands!"

"You fellow... are truly a monster!"

He gave a wry smile. "I actually thought about holding back at first."

"Now it seems, the clown was me all along!"
