Tyrant, Activate

Between life and death, Hyuga Satoru took a deep breath, trying his best to calm his brain.

"Anko, run, go find Teacher Shibi."

"What about you?"

"I'll hold them off here."

"The enemy's speed far exceeds ours. If I don't stay to hold them off, none of us will escape, not to mention..."

Hyuga Satoru took a deep breath, intense battle intent flashing in his eyes.

"I'm not completely without a chance."

The white mist dissipated, and the ninja blade Fang was already gripped in his hand.

At this distance, it was already too late for him to use a bow and arrow to block.

The next second, accompanied by a burst of loud noise, the large tree in front of them was suddenly violently slashed apart, dust billowing.

"Maro, your nose really is sensitive; there really is the smell of fresh blood here."

After the dust dispersed, two figures abruptly appeared. One of them carried a huge ninja blade on his shoulder, and beside his sharp teeth were crimson blood-like markings.

"Hahaha, Juzo, I told you so long ago, and you didn't believe me."

The other person's laughter was sharp and piercing, like sharpened fingernails scraping across a blackboard, giving Hyuga Satoru and Anko a hair-raising feeling.

His eyebrows were two crimson dots, and he had thick dark circles around his eye sockets, which, combined with the cruel, ferocious grin on his face, looked quite grim and terrifying.

The user of the Kubikiribōchō, Biwa Juzo, and an elite jonin of the Kaguya Clan-after seeing the newcomers clearly, Hyuga Satoru gasped.

"Looks like they're Leaf Village ninja." Biwa Juzo held his ninja blade horizontally, narrowing his eyes as he stared at a rice-grain-sized nick on the blade.

"There's actually a nick on my Kubikiribōchō; it'll be just right to use your blood to repair it!"

As soon as his voice fell, he suddenly leaped into the air, the heavy ninja blade heavily smashing down toward Hyuga Satoru's position.

Clang!

The immense force traveled through the ninja blade Fang into Hyuga Satoru's arms, making his entire body go numb and forcing him to take a few steps back.

Anko subconsciously swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

"Satoru, I'll go find Teacher Shibi."

Knowing that staying behind would only hold Hyuga Satoru back, Anko calmed down and, without hesitation, ran toward the back of the forest.

"Trying to escape!"

A fierce look flashed in Biwa Juzo's eyes, and waving his right hand, he smashed the Kubikiribōchō toward Anko.

Clang!

The slender blade of Fang pressed firmly against the Kubikiribōchō, forcefully shattering his plan.

In this brief moment of deadlock, Anko's back had already disappeared into the jungle.

"Brat!" A trace of anger appeared on Biwa Juzo's face.

"Hey! Juzo, are you even competent or not? You actually let a prey get away."

Kaguya Maro's dissatisfied voice reached his ears, making the anger on his face deepen.

"Shut up! Leave this brat to me, you go chase that fleeing prey."

The glare Biwa Juzo directed at Hyuga Satoru carried not only anger but also a hint of doubt. He discovered that the reason Hyuga Satoru was able to hold him off even though his physical strength was far inferior was because a powerful attractive force had unexpectedly erupted from his own Kubikiribōchō, threatening to shake it loose from his grip at any moment.

To avoid this situation, he had to divert a large portion of his mental energy to suppress the strange movement of the heavy blade, which was the only reason Hyuga Satoru had managed to block him time and time again.

"Brat, no matter what secrets you have, you can only become a ghost under my large blade!"

Being blocked repeatedly had pushed Biwa Juzo's anger to its peak. Blue chakra surged outward, directly enveloping the entire Kubikiribōchō.

"Not good!"

Feeling the greatly increased force coming from the blade, Hyuga Satoru subconsciously clenched his teeth.

Sizzle sizzle...

Under Biwa Juzo's violent crushing pressure, accompanied by the sound of sparks flying everywhere, the blade of Fang actually sliced open the Kubikiribōchō, sinking into it bit by bit.

Until the entire blade was submerged inside the Kubikiribōchō.

Biwa Juzo violently twisted.

Clang!

A crisp metallic collision sounded, and the blade of Fang was actually forcefully snapped, breaking into several pieces of metal debris!

The massive Kubikiribōchō finally lost its resistance, heavily striking Hyuga Satoru's body. Hyuga Satoru flew backward far away like a kite with a broken string.

Crimson blood continuously dripped along the wound. Biwa Juzo's pupils trembled slightly as he stared in disbelief at his own abdomen.

There, several sharp metal fragments were deeply embedded in his muscles, with blood flowing sluggishly.

"I finally figured out the source of that weird resistance."

He abruptly raised his head, a trace of ferocity in his eyes, staring fixedly at Hyuga Satoru as the latter climbed up from the ground.

"Magnet Release! I never expected you to have a dual bloodline limit!"

If he hadn't noticed before, then at the moment Fang broke, it had become more than obvious.

The ninja blade fragments that had originally scattered in all directions were controlled by some kind of force, actually converging to stab into his abdomen!

The Mist Village was the village with the most kekkei genkai, so he quickly associated it with a dual bloodline.

Magnet Release, and moreover, a Magnet Release biased toward controlling ninja blades.

Looking at Hyuga Satoru's slightly tender face, the killing intent in his heart surged immensely.

This child must absolute not be left alive!

A Magnet Release capable of controlling ninja blades, and at such a young age-once he grew up fully, the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist would probably be wiped out from the Shinobi World.

"Maro, ignore that woman for now; I've found an interesting prey."

"Hey! Juzo, are you losing your mind? One moment you tell me to chase, the next you tell me not to? Do you take me for your subordinate?"

Kaguya Maro was extremely displeased and loudly complained.

"This Hyuga brat has a dual bloodline."

Kaguya Maro's expression froze. He narrowed his eyes slightly, sizing up Hyuga Satoru from top to bottom.

"You aren't getting it wrong, are you? It's never been heard of before that the Hyuga Clan could awaken a dual bloodline."

"There's no mistake, that's definitely Magnet Release without a doubt!"

"Is that so? What is the village's intelligence agency doing? The Leaf Village appears with a dual bloodline and they didn't report it?"

Kaguya Maro evidently had also grown interested, staring fixedly at Hyuga Satoru.

A dual bloodline from the Hyuga family-this was his first time seeing one.

Biwa Juzo pulled out the last fragment from his abdomen. His palm swept across his stomach, quickly wiping it across the Kubikiribōchō, and a crimson bloodstain appeared on the blade body.

After absorbing that streak of blood, the Kubikiribōchō actually wriggled as if it had gained life, and the nick in the middle of the blade vanished.

Pointing his blade horizontally at Hyuga Satoru, Biwa Juzo's eyes revealed unmasked chilliness.

"Making me use my own blood to repair the blade, you are the first!"

Looking at this scene, Hyuga Satoru couldn't help but click his tongue; the Shinobi World really didn't care about science at all.

With a nick that big on the Kubikiribōchō, it could be repaired with just that little bit of blood?

Was this blood made of iron?

There was not the slightest bit of fear in his heart; intense flames of battle burned fiercely in his eyes.

"Let me see just what that jutsu can do!"

His eyes slowly closed, chakra churning frantically, rushing toward the various acupoints of his body. At the same time, his presence abruptly grew stronger, a layer of air currents surrounding his body.

When his eyes opened once more, blue lightning arcs had completely enveloped his body.
