Sasuke had given him plenty of respect by using the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan's genjutsu on a mere genin.
The next moment, a scarlet Sharingan appeared in Hyuga Taiju's eyes.
"Th-This is...!"
Startled, he had no time to react before his vision blurred and the world before his eyes changed completely.
At that moment, the tree beside him looked like an incomparably beautiful woman.
Under the effects of the genjutsu, Hyuga Taiju's desires were magnified without limit.
He began struggling with all his might.
Seeing this, Sasuke released his grip at the right moment.
The next instant, Hyuga Taiju charged toward the tree beside him.
Then he hugged it.
His face wore an expression of blissful satisfaction.
It was obvious that Hyuga Taiju was enjoying himself immensely.
Sasuke had used the Mangekyō Sharingan's genjutsu to make him literally do what his name implied.
Sasuke nodded in satisfaction. This man's appearance had come at just the right time, allowing him to test his genjutsu abilities.
Judging from the results of this test, his genjutsu was indeed highly formidable.
However, Sasuke never expected that this insignificant act of his would directly become the fuse for the Night of the Massacre.
Of course, that was a story for later.
Hyuga Monza, standing nearby, had long since been dumbfounded!
"Big Brother! Big Brother! What are you doing?! Stop already!"
He hurried over to stop him, only to be shoved aside by Hyuga Taiju.
"Get the hell out of here! Don't fucking ruin my good time!"
After trying several times to stop him and being ruthlessly shoved away each time, Hyuga Monza finally realized something was wrong.
Pointing at Sasuke, he shouted furiously, "Damn it! You must have done this! Make my big brother stop right now!"
Sasuke did not even spare him a glance and simply turned to leave.
He had tested his abilities thoroughly enough. It was time to go, and he had no interest in paying attention to the brat behind him.
"Bastard! Uchiha Sasuke, if you dare leave, you're dead! You humiliated our Hyuga clan like this—the experts of our clan will never let you off!"
Hearing that, Sasuke suddenly stopped and turned around, walking back.
Seeing the indifferent look on Sasuke's face, Hyuga Monza felt an inexplicable panic rise in his heart.
He regretted it now. Why had he insisted on calling this guy back? He had a terrible feeling that something very bad was about to happen.
Don't tell me I'm going to go crazy over a tree like Big Brother too!?
"Y-You... don't come any closer! What are you trying to do!?"
Sasuke's pace was neither hurried nor slow, and his tone remained perfectly calm.
"I nearly forgot. You slapped me earlier."
"And I'm someone who values returning courtesy in kind. Since you slapped me, I should naturally give you a slap in return!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Sasuke's body swelled in size, his hair grew longer, and solid muscles bulged all over his body.
In the blink of an eye, he had grown to over two meters tall.
He had directly transformed into Muscleman Form.
As he advanced, Sasuke casually swung a slap. A tree as thick as two people embracing it was instantly smashed apart.
If that hit someone in the head, it would probably blow it apart on the spot!
"Ahhh!!! Don't come any closer!"
Witnessing such terrifying destructive power, Hyuga Monza fainted on the spot from fright, and his lower body became soaked.
He had actually pissed himself in terror!
"Tch! Boring!"
Sasuke curled his lips in disinterest, dispelled Muscleman Form, and returned to his original size.
He had originally wanted to test the strength of Muscleman Form on a human body, but it seemed that would not be possible now.
Although the transformation was overwhelmingly intimidating, it had one drawback: his clothes would burst apart afterward.
Looking at himself with nothing but a pair of briefs left, Sasuke felt somewhat helpless.
It seemed he would have to keep several more sets of clothes in the system inventory from now on.
Otherwise, if he was left wearing only briefs after every battle, it would somewhat ruin his imposing image.
Sasuke glanced at the unconscious Hyuga Monza on the ground with a look of disgust. His clothes reeked of piss, and Sasuke had no intention of wearing them.
In the end, unwilling to go home bare-chested, Sasuke turned his gaze toward Hyuga Taiju.
"Though the size is a little off, I'll just have to make do."
After changing clothes, Sasuke left the place, leaving behind the unconscious Hyuga Monza and Hyuga Taiju, who was wearing only shorts.
More than ten minutes later, Hyuga Taiju stopped.
Five minutes later, he found another tree.
At sunset.
Beside a roadside landscaping tree on Konoha Street.
At that moment, rings upon rings of Konoha villagers had gathered around the area.
"Ew~ Who is this guy? How can he do something so indecent in broad daylight!"
"Isn't his skin way too thick? He actually dares to do something like that openly!"
"Ah! Morals are declining, morals are declining indeed!"
"Hey! Look at his eyes—they're pure white. He should be from the Hyuga clan, right?"
"Damn! I never expected the Hyuga clan to have someone with this kind of taste. I really never expected it!"
"Old Wang! Old Wang! Come out quickly! There's a great show here, come take a look!"
The Konoha villagers watched Hyuga Taiju's performance with great interest.
It was the first time they had ever seen a ninja do such a thing in public, especially a ninja from Konoha's great Hyuga clan.
If they missed this, they would probably never see anything like it again in their lives, so they had to watch their fill!
Of course, not everyone enjoyed watching someone make a fool of themselves.
An older woman squeezed through the crowd. Tugging on Hyuga Taiju's arm, she kindly advised him:
"Child, child, don't be like this. Stop quickly. Even if you have this kind of special hobby, you can indulge it freely at home. You shouldn't do it in public."
"Get lost! Don't fucking ruin my good time!"
Hyuga Taiju flung the woman away and continued immersing himself in his own world.
"Ah, this child..."
The woman sighed, shook her head, and helplessly turned away.
Not long after she left, a member of the Hyuga clan finally appeared.
"Move aside, move aside! Stop looking! There's nothing to see!"
With a gloomy face, the Hyuga clansman roughly shoved aside the villagers around him.
The villagers were angry but dared not speak, quickly stepping aside to clear a wide path for him.
"Bastard! What are you doing!? You've thrown away all the Hyuga clan's dignity! Stop this right now!"
Hyuga Makino came to Hyuga Taiju's side and immediately began roaring at him.
Yet Hyuga Taiju seemed not to hear him at all and continued his great endeavor!
Seeing this, Hyuga Makino realized something was wrong. He hurriedly activated the Byakugan and began observing.
The next moment, he discovered the problem and cursed aloud:
"Damn it! It's genjutsu cast by some bastard! My Hyuga clan will never let you off!"
Bang!
He struck the tree apart with one palm. "Stop embarrassing yourself here and come back with me!"
Hyuga Taiju was still under the genjutsu's control. He was clearly stunned for a moment, then saw Hyuga Makino beside him and reflexively reached for him.
"Bastard!"
Hyuga Makino was furious, but he was not skilled at genjutsu. Moreover, this was no ordinary genjutsu—it was the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan's genjutsu.
Ordinary methods for dispelling genjutsu were completely useless.
So Hyuga Makino directly chopped the side of Hyuga Taiju's neck with his hand.
"Damn it!"
They had been utterly humiliated.
Hyuga Makino's face was as dark as the bottom of a pot.
"Pfft..."
A villager could not hold back and burst out laughing on the spot!
Then, as if setting off a chain reaction, one villager after another began laughing.
"HAHAHA!"
"HAHAHA..."
Listening to the laughter around him, Hyuga Makino's face darkened even further.
Being mocked by a bunch of commoners made him furious, but also somewhat regretful.
If he had known, he would not have come. Let the clan lose face if it wanted to—he would not have been the one punished anyway.
But now that he was here, he could not exactly leave this idiot on his back and walk away.
Helplessly, he could only carry Hyuga Taiju on his back and quickly leave under the amused gazes of the Konoha villagers!
