God's Perspective, the End of the Gentle Fist

Neji's voice echoed through the hallway, filled with the exhilaration of revenge.

He seemed to already see the miserable sight of the demon fox who had once trampled his dignity into the trash being surrounded by the clan head and clansmen, having his limbs broken and kneeling like a dead dog to beg for mercy!

Yet in the face of his barking, the teasing smile on Naruto's face slowly faded.

His azure eyes gradually turned toward Neji. The amusement and laziness within them vanished, replaced by a bottomless, chilling coldness.

It was the indifference of one looking down upon ants, the detachment of a god gazing upon the mortal world.

The instant Neji met those eyes, all his words and delight caught in his throat. He could not utter a single syllable.

A chill from the depths of his soul shot up his spine to the crown of his head without warning!

"Too noisy."

Naruto's thin lips parted, releasing two words.

His voice was quiet, yet it instantly froze the tense atmosphere in the entire hallway.

An incomparably terrifying, suffocating aura slowly rose from within him, like some prehistoric beast that had slept for countless ages finally opening its eyes.

Haku, standing behind Naruto, felt it most clearly.

Her beautiful little face instantly turned pale, and her body trembled slightly beyond her control. Yet her misty eyes held not the slightest fear—only utter worship and fervor!

She knew that Lord Naruto was getting serious!

"Father-in-law."

Ignoring the frozen Neji, Naruto turned his cold gaze back to Hiashi Hyuga and said leisurely, "I call you Father-in-law to show you respect, and to show Hinata respect. You don't seriously think that you dozen or so people, this tiny Hyuga Clan, can stop me, do you?"

The words were casually spoken, yet they brimmed with boundless arrogance!

Hiashi Hyuga trembled with rage and shouted sternly, "Insolent brat, take him down!"

Before his words had even faded, the twelve Hyuga elites behind him moved at once. They instantly assumed the stances of the Gentle Fist, their figures weaving as they closed in on Naruto from every direction, sealing off every route of escape!

But in the next instant.

Naruto's eyes snapped open!

No hand seals!

Those eyes, originally as blue as the sky, lost all their color in that instant and became an indescribably pure, ultimate silver-white!

There were no pupils in those eyes, no impurities—only a vast silver-white galaxy, as though it reflected the origin and truth of the entire world!

Pure Byakugan, activate!

Buzz!

A sharp pain stabbed from deep within his eyeballs, as though these eyes, which did not belong to this world, were rejecting his body!

His massive chakra reserves began to drain at an astonishing rate, but in exchange, he gained an unprecedented—God's Perspective!

The first to rush before him was none other than Neji, the one who had shouted the loudest!

He thrust out a palm at Naruto's heart, his face twisted with savage delight!

Yet Naruto did not even glance at him. He merely shifted slightly to one side.

Smack!

Neji's certain strike brushed past Naruto's clothes by the narrowest margin!

How was that possible?!

Neji was horrified. In the field of vision of his prized Byakugan, Naruto had clearly made no unnecessary movement at all!

Before he could change moves, a hand had already landed on his shoulder like a ghost.

"Your pride is too cheap."

A cold voice sounded beside his ear.

The next moment, an irresistible and vast ocular power surged through Naruto's palm and violently poured into Neji's body like a burst dam!

"Arghhh—!"

Neji let out a miserable scream. He felt as if his meridian system had been thrown into an erupting volcano!

The chakra within him was instantly scattered into chaos. His activated Byakugan sent waves of tearing pain through his eyes, and the veins at his temples burst with a pop, blood streaming down as his vision instantly plunged into darkness!

His prized Byakugan had been forcibly shut down!

Bang!

Neji's legs gave out, and he dropped stiffly to his knees, convulsing all over, unable to rise again.

"Neji!"

Hiashi Hyuga roared and personally stepped forward!

As the head of the main family, his Gentle Fist had long reached its peak!

Gentle Fist Art: Eight Trigrams Palm!

Both his palms shot out, the pressure from his strikes making even the air hum. He moved so fast that only afterimages remained!

But in Naruto's silver-white eyes, Hiashi's movements, the flow of chakra within his body, even the contraction of his muscles in the next instant—all of it was as clear as lines on his palm!

Too slow!

Full of openings!

Naruto did not meet the attack head-on. Instead, amid Hiashi's impenetrable barrage of palm strikes, he advanced rather than retreated, taking a step forward as leisurely as though strolling through a garden. He extended one finger and jabbed at a seemingly undefended gap in front of Hiashi's chest from an inconceivable angle.

That spot was one of the central nodes through which all of Hiashi's chakra circulated!

Hiashi Hyuga's pupils shrank sharply. He wanted to change moves, wanted to defend, but discovered in horror that every follow-up move and every possible variation had seemingly been predicted in advance. This finger struck precisely at the point where his old force had been spent, his new force had yet to emerge, and his entire body was at its most sluggish!

Pfft!

The finger landed.

There was no earth-shattering explosion, yet Hiashi Hyuga stiffened as though struck by lightning!

He felt a supreme, overwhelmingly domineering ocular power invade through that fingertip. The chakra that had once flowed freely through his body now scattered and froze like soldiers encountering their king!

His proud main family Byakugan let out a wail and surrendered from the deepest depths of its bloodline before this power!

"This... this is... a Perfect Byakugan with a purity surpassing even that of the founding ancestor!!"

Hiashi Hyuga squeezed out that trembling cry from deep in his throat with all his strength. He staggered back three steps, crashing heavily into the wall behind him before barely managing to avoid falling to his knees on the spot!

His face was filled with terror and shock that shattered everything he believed.

In the span of a heartbeat, the two strongest had already been defeated!

Only then did the remaining ten branch family jonin react, roaring as they attacked!

Naruto did not even turn around. He merely swept his peripheral vision over them. The galaxy within his silver-white eyes flowed, and an invisible wave of ocular power instantly spread outward!

"Ahh—my eyes!"

Thud! Thud!

The ten elite jonin froze in the middle of their movements, as though they had all been struck by a binding technique at once!

They screamed in unison, clutching their eyes tightly with both hands. The veins around their Byakugan bulged one by one, as though steel needles were twisting inside them!

Under this absolute suppression targeting their bloodline, their Byakugan were instantly subdued, and the circulation of their chakra was forcibly severed. One after another, they collapsed to the ground, rolling about in agony.

The entire process took less than ten seconds.

Deathly silence filled the hallway.

Only the suppressed breathing and pained groans of the Hyuga clansmen remained.

"Hah..."

Naruto slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air. His silver-white eyes instantly returned to blue, and a thread of blood slowly flowed from the corner of his eye.

His face was slightly pale, and his breathing had become somewhat rushed.

The power of those eyes was too domineering. Even with the recovery power of his Perfect Sage Body, keeping them active for long placed an enormous burden on him.

Yet he still stood perfectly straight, slipping both hands back into his pockets as though he had merely done something trivial.

Slowly, he took a step forward.

Tap.

The crisp sound of footsteps rang through the deathly quiet corridor like a tolling funeral bell, slamming viciously into Hiashi Hyuga's heart.

He looked down from above at the ashen-faced Hyuga Clan head, a cold curve forming once more at the corner of his lips.

"Clan Head Hiashi... now, do you think I'm worthy of Hinata?"
