Hinata Sets New Rules with Authority, Obito Uses Kamui to Raid the Rear!
The earth-shattering collision at Lightning Cloud Gorge shook half of the Shinobi World, while in the distant rear of the Land of Iron, thousands of miles away, undercurrents were also surging.
Evening, at the temporary medical camp of the Land of Iron.
Outside, a fierce snowstorm raged, while inside the camp, a strong stench of blood and pungent herbs filled the air. More than a hundred cots were crammed full, all occupied by wandering ninjas rescued from the icefield mines.
"Clang!"
A piercing metallic crash shattered the oppressive atmosphere of the tent.
A wandering samurai, his chest wrapped in bandages and his Chakra drained by Black Rod, suddenly overturned the wooden tray in front of him, scattering pills and bandages all over the ground.
"Get out of my way!" His eyes were bloodshot as he stared intently at the pair of pure white eyes before him, roaring through gritted teeth, "The Hyuga Clan? What can you high and mighty Kekkei Genkai clans do besides use us as cannon fodder? The Byakugan, isn't it just for intelligence gathering and precise killing? What are you pretending to save! Don't use us as guinea pigs!"
His name is Iwai. He was used as a living battery for half a month in the dark underground, and he has an instinctive fear and resentment towards the three great Dōjutsu.
The atmosphere inside the tent instantly plummeted to freezing. Dozens of wounded soldiers around them cast hostile and wary glances their way.
Hyuga Tokuma, a branch family guard who was carrying a basin of water, suddenly changed his expression and grabbed the Kunai in his ninja tool pouch with one hand. "Insolence! Who do you think you are, daring to be disrespectful to the young lady!"
"Tokuma, step back."
Hinata stood still, without taking a single step back.
Today, she wasn't wearing her usual loose and bulky ninja uniform, but rather an extremely sharp and form-fitting combat suit. Her pure white eyes held no trace of murderous intent, only an undeniable calmness and focus.
Hinata didn't argue; instead, she simply raised her right hand.
Pale blue Chakra swirled around his fingertips, and with lightning speed and unparalleled precision, he struck three major pressure points on Iwai's chest in a single second.
The technique was clean and efficient.
Iwai's body stiffened abruptly, the turbulent Chakra within him was instantly sealed, and he slammed back onto the hospital bed, unable to move any further.
"Three of your meridians are severed, and your heart meridian is damaged. If you don't fix them now, you'll never be able to refine a single Chakra in your life and will become a complete cripple." Hinata's voice wasn't loud, but it carried an overwhelming sense of authority.
Iwai's eyes widened, wanting to unleash a torrent of curses, but he found himself unable to utter a sound.
Byakugan, open.
With veins bulging slightly at the corners of her eyes, Hinata ignored the murderous glare in Iwai's eyes and placed her hands directly on Iwai's chest.
In the past, when these eyes were activated, it was often accompanied by the killing and destruction of the Gentle Fist. But at this moment, Hinata transformed her Chakra into extremely fine threads, and with the extreme perspective of the Byakugan, she brutally and precisely probed into Iwai's body, forcibly stitching up those broken meridians.
This was a trace of Yang Release aura left to her by Naruto, combined with the Hyuga Clan's ultimate pressure point control, it was practically a surgical-level divine technique.
For a full five minutes, the tent was completely silent.
Hinata withdrew her hand, a fine layer of sweat appearing on her forehead.
"Cough cough cough!" Iwai coughed up a mouthful of foul-smelling blood, gasping for breath. Then, an expression of extreme shock appeared on his scarred face.
The once empty and stagnant dantian now felt a warm flow of Chakra again! The meridians were open!
The way he looked at Hinata completely changed, from fear and defensiveness to unbelievable shock.
"Why?" Iwai's voice was hoarse, her eyes filled with complex emotions. "Why would the eldest daughter of the Hyuga Clan Main Family condescend to do these dirty jobs?"
Tokuma, standing to the side, couldn't help but speak up, "Young lady, you are the head of the Hyuga Clan, this kind of thing can be left to the medical team..."
"Because in the past, so many people risked their lives for the Main Family, but no one ever asked them if they were in pain."
Hinata turned around and pulled a worn scroll from her ninja tool pouch.
That was the "Caged Bird Abolition Reform Proposal," which Naruto forced Hyuga Hiashi to sign at the clan founding ceremony with an absolutely domineering attitude.
She tossed the scroll lightly onto the table with a dull thud. Her gaze swept over everyone in the tent.
"The Byakugan of the Hyuga Clan was used as a weapon in the past, as a bargaining chip in marriage alliances, and even to protect this secret, they did not hesitate to mark their own clansmen with the 'Caged Bird' Cursed Seal, treating their own family members as tools."
Hinata spoke calmly, yet every word carried immense weight.
"These rules are terrible."
She gathered a ball of Chakra at her fingertips and casually drew a simple diagram of the distribution of meridians in the human body in the Shinobi World on the table.
"From today onward, the Byakugan's ultimate insight can not only be used to sever an enemy's meridians, but also to restore the life force of the wounded." Hinata looked at Tokuma, her eyes resolute. "This is the new path I've found for the Hyuga Clan. Fully integrating into the medical and sensory systems, making the Byakugan the most trusted support for everyone on the battlefield, rather than a fearsome killing tool. Anyone who wants to use human lives as bargaining chips is the Hyuga Clan's enemy."
A shift in perspective.
Iwai was stunned. The wandering ninjas who had been hostile towards him all blushed and lowered their heads in shame.
Tokuma's eyes welled up with tears, and he suddenly knelt on one knee, his voice trembling. "Hyuga Tokuma family, I swear to follow you to the death, young lady!"
In a corner of the camp.
Tsunade leaned against the supporting pillar, idly tossing an empty sake bottle in her hand, quietly watching this scene.
(That brat, she usually looks so soft and gentle, but her stubbornness and the air of a matriarch have been completely corrupted by that madman Naruto. But... well done.) Tsunade's lips curled into an approving smile.
The heavy curtains of the tent were lifted.
A gust of cold air, mixed with wind and snow, swept in. Naruto's Shadow Clone strode in, carrying two steaming cups of strong tea.
He didn't interrupt Hinata's "establishment of authority," but simply walked straight to her side and naturally placed the teacup into her slightly cool hand.
"Tired?" Naruto's tone softened, a stark contrast to the arrogant and domineering demon he had been on the battlefield just moments before.
Hinata held the teacup, feeling the warmth from her palms, the undeniable forcefulness from before instantly vanishing. Her cheeks flushed slightly, and she gently shook her head. "It's alright. But changing centuries-old traditions always faces resistance. There's Father, and those elders in the clan..."
"Anyone who dares to object, I'll come and beat them up." Naruto grinned, casually pulled over a chair and sat down, his long legs dangling unceremoniously on the edge of the table. "Whatever rules my wife wants to set, that's the rule of the Shinobi World."
Hinata chuckled at his blunt and blunt words, but shook her head softly yet with unusual firmness. "You don't need to step in this time. I'll go back and talk to them about the Hyuga Clan matter myself."
A confident light shone in her eyes.
She is no longer the underachiever who faints at the drop of a hat, but Hinata Hyuga who possesses the Tenseigan Prototype and dares to face her destiny.
Naruto looked into her eyes, snapped his fingers in satisfaction, and said, "Alright, I'll do as you say. I'll guard the gates of Hidden Leaf, and you can set the rules for the village."
Just as the atmosphere was beginning to warm up...
Lying on his hospital bed, Iwai suddenly let out an extremely shrill scream!
"Ah--!"
His body convulsed violently, and his eyes rolled back. A fist-sized black lump suddenly and without warning swelled up in the area of his chest meridians that Hinata had just repaired!
"What's going on?!" Tsunade's expression changed drastically, and she instantly threw down the sake bottle and rushed to the bedside.
Hinata didn't hesitate and immediately activated her Byakugan again.
The moment Hinata's gaze pierced through Iwai's flesh, Hinata pupils contracted to their absolute limit!
Deep within Iwai's heart meridian lies an extremely fine black fragment, previously undetectable even by his Byakugan. It is the Yin–Yang Release Black Rod Residue Obito inserted into the prisoner's body!
At this moment, the remnant seemed to have come to life, frantically devouring Iwai's newly recovered Chakra and emanating an extremely manic, ancient, and evil aura.
"This isn't just simple Chakra suppression!" Hinata gritted her teeth, her hands rapidly Hand Seals in an attempt to suppress it. "He's sending a signal!"
"A signal?" Naruto's shadow clone's expression darkened, and he abruptly stood up.
"Snap!"
Before anyone could react, a deafening crash, like a giant mirror shattering, suddenly echoed in the sky outside the tent.
A violent spatial fluctuation instantly swept across the entire medical camp of the Land of Iron, and the gale-force winds tore the heavy tents apart!
Obito's cold, mocking voice, transmitted through the fragment of the Black Rod, exploded directly in everyone's minds.
"So what if we found them? These five hundred 'batteries' that you rescued as treasures were, from the very beginning, the location Coordinates I left for you."
Boom!
The dome directly above the medical camp was torn apart by an irresistible suction force.
A deep, dark vortex of Kamui, mixed with the pungent stench unique to the 100,000 White Zetsu, loomed directly over the camp like a gaping maw of an abyss!
Naruto's shadow clone shielded Hinata behind him, staring intently at the wildly expanding vortex, and his golden chakra cloak erupted.
Luring the tiger away from the mountain, while secretly crossing the Chencang pass.
The main forces of the Five Kage are all at the front lines, Obito's decapitation strike force is directly airdropped into the rear!
