Reckless? Die!

They just rushed over from the Hokage's Office with the goal of stopping Hiashi!

Just moments before, the Third in the Hokage's Office received a report that the entire Hyuga Clan had mobilized!

The Third felt numb. He already had no way to handle Hyuga Tenka, and now he had the entire Hyuga Clan added to the mix!

Danzō, oh Danzō, just how long were you going to keep stirring up trouble?

No matter how helpless the Third felt, the matter had to be resolved, so he had no choice but to enlist people from the major clans to persuade Hiashi Hyuga!

The moment this group of people arrived here and witnessed this feast of blood and gore, every single one of them felt a chill deep in their hearts!

They even forgot their original purpose—or perhaps they hadn't forgotten, but were simply too terrified!

Take Shikaku Nara, for instance; he was a clever man. The moment he saw the Hyuga lineup,

he knew that tonight's affairs could not possibly end peacefully!

Every single old person, weakling, woman, and child of the Hyuga Clan had appeared. This was their determination to reclaim their justice!

If the Third dared to make a move against the Hyuga tonight, Konoha would fall apart by tomorrow!

Besides, many people had no desire to persuade them at all; they desperately wished Hyuga Tenka could butcher that person!

In Konoha for all these years, which clan had avoided being framed by that fellow?

He demanded people and took them; when people weren't given, he seized them by force. They asked the Third to preside over justice, but the Third sided with him every single time!

How many brilliant talents within their clans were taken away by that fellow just like that, never to return, with not a shred of news ever discovered?

In the past they were completely helpless, but now...

The ruthless man had finally returned, and the moment he came back, within less than a day, that fellow had made his move!

Shikaku Nara sighed. He truly didn't know if that fellow was a fool or if he genuinely possessed some trump card!

To actually still dare to provoke this person so unscrupulously—now he had really gone and messed things up big time!

Shikaku Nara refused to persuade them, but as it turned out, someone was reckless and lacking in brains!

"Stop right there!"

"Cough, cough..."

"You've already killed so many people. Isn't that enough?"

Tenka couldn't be bothered to respond. He suddenly increased his pupil-jutsu pressure, and the remaining forty or fifty people instantly burst apart!

"You..."

"You murderous fiend! Cough, cough..."

"Clang!"

The long sword on Tenka's back suddenly flashed out of its scabbard, swift as the wind, cutting through the air!

"Ah..."

"Clang!"

From the drawing of the long sword to its return to the scabbard took mere moments!

"I'll be taking your hand!"

"No one has ever dared to point at me like that!"

"Back then, when that old hag pointed at me like that, I severed her arm!"

"You shall be no exception!"

"I don't care if you're the Third's diehard loyalist or whatever. Even if he were right here, if he dares to block me, I'll kill him just the same!"

"Now, move aside!"

"Otherwise, die!"

Tenka's voice was very soft, yet it was clear enough for everyone all around to hear distinctly!

This was also his way of telling the people surrounding him: if you want to block me, you'd better have the strength for it!

The one who had jumped out was none other than the sickly Gekko Hayate. The Gekko Clan had always been diehard loyalists of the Third.

"You... unfilial madman, cough, cough..."

"If you... have the ability, cough, cough... kill me!"

"Cough, cough..."

"Lord Third will not let you off..."

Tenka narrowed his eyes and formed hand seals with his right hand!

At that very moment, a ninja dressed as a purple-haired Anbu suddenly appeared, bowing deeply to Tenka!

"Please wait!"

"I apologize to you on his behalf!"

"Clang!"

"Puff!"

"Thud!"

"Apologies."

"Too late. I gave him a chance!"

"The person I want to kill, no one can stop!"

"Hayate!"

The purple-haired Anbu turned around, looking at the rolling head still on the ground. Grief surged from the bottom of her heart as she instinctively wanted to step forward.

"Hum!"

The sound of a sword hummed through the night sky, hovering right in front of her with its tip pointing straight at her, still dripping with blood!

"You're blocking the way. Move aside, or I'll kill you!"

Her voice was filled with killing intent. Tenka had already run out of patience for these annoying flies!

He suspected that old bastard of a Third had purposely sent them to stall for time. If they dared to chatter on any longer, he wouldn't mind slaughtering the lot of them!

The purple-haired Anbu was none other than Yugao Uzuki, Gekko Hayate's girlfriend!

Enveloped by Tenka's terrifying, boundless killing intent, her whole body trembled as she struggled and forced her body aside!

She didn't dare to make a move—she didn't have the slightest chance—nor did she dare to hesitate. If she hesitated even a little, this fellow right in front of her would genuinely kill!

It didn't matter if she died, but she was an Anbu now. If she really made him misunderstand,

even more people in Konoha would likely die tonight!

"Clink!"

The long sword returned to its scabbard the moment she stepped aside!

Tenka's expression remained completely unchanged as he calmly walked past her!

Along the way, people from the various clans hurriedly gave way, terrified that a fraction of a second too late and this fellow's sword would flash from its scabbard!

Or that they would be glared at by those eyes of his!

A drawn sword was fine; judging by current appearances, it would only kill one person!

If one were glared at by those eyes, it would wipe out a massive area, and not even bones would remain!

These two methods of attack were ones they had never heard of and never witnessed!

Besides, was the Byakugan really this strong? The Sharingan of the Uchiha Clan probably couldn't achieve a feat like this, right?

No wonder... no wonder back at the Ninja Academy, he was able to constantly suppress that person from the Uchiha Clan!

Watching the Hyuga clansmen following behind Tenka, gazing at those pairs of Byakugan, they couldn't help feeling their scalps go slightly numb!

Was this something he developed himself, or was it innate to the Byakugan?

If it was the latter, didn't that mean...

Hiss...

Everyone dared not dwell on it any further. In the depths of their hearts, they all knew that the Hyuga Clan would rise completely after tonight!

"Shikaku, what do we do?"

Inoichi Yamanaka watched the distant Hyuga Clan and quietly asked Shikaku Nara!

"We don't do anything; we go home!"

"Go back and give orders: no clan members are allowed outside tonight!"

"Those still outside, call them back immediately!"

"But what about the Third's side..."

"Heh..."

"That old fox just wants to drag everyone down into the water with him!"

"You've all seen the end result of being truly reckless!"

"How come the Third hasn't come out to stop them?"

"That's his diehard loyalist, yet isn't he still dead for nothing?"

"Go back, don't worry!"

"I guarantee there will be absolutely no problem!"

With those words, Shikaku Nara took the lead and hurried back toward his clan's territory. He had no intention of meddling in this affair, nor did he have the qualifications to do so!

Inoichi Yamanaka still hesitated a little, but Choza Akimichi turned and left right after!

"Choza..."

"Inoichi, Shikaku's decisions have never been wrong!"

Without another word of hesitation, Choza Akimichi strode rapidly toward home. He was somewhat worried that his own little fatty was still outside looking for food!

Inoichi Yamanaka glanced in the direction of the Hokage Building, gritted his teeth, and also turned and walked toward his clan!

Choza was right; Shikaku's decisions had never gone wrong!

Besides, he was only worried that the Third would settle accounts with them afterward, and had never once thought about going against Hyuga Tenka!

That was something neither he nor his clan could hope to fight against.

Seeing the choice made by the Ino-Shika-Cho Clans, the rest of the clans followed suit!

In a flash, only a single purple-haired Anbu remained at the scene, staring in a daze at Gekko Hayate's corpse!

"Yugao..."

"Anko, Hayate is dead!"

It was Anko Mitarashi who, upon hearing the news, had rushed back in a panic to comfort her best friend!

"He deserved it!"

Anko's words left Yugao Uzuki suddenly stunned!
