Bam!
The Anbu captain instantly turned into a wooden stake and vanished—but that wooden stake got smashed to bits with a single slap from Hayato. Still, the ninja who had hurt him managed to survive, and that made Hayato absolutely furious. He let out a roar of rage, his massive fist pounding hard on the ground.
Boom!
The earth shook and cracked beneath him. In the blink of an eye, a huge crater formed around Hayato, about a hundred meters wide.
Because of the shaking ground, not far ahead of Hayato, a figure appeared, looking a bit rough — it was the same ninja who had wounded him, the Anbu captain.
Hayato's eyes, almost the size of fists, locked onto the Anbu captain. With a spring from his feet, his huge body shot straight up into the air, then came crashing down toward the captain.
The Anbu captain's face changed instantly when he saw Hayato charging. Extremely cautious now, he gripped his sword tightly. A sharp, deadly aura surrounded him like a blade itself.
Whoosh!
A cold flash of steel suddenly appeared.Hayato felt a sharp pain as a long, deep cut slashed across his body. Even though Hayato's body was tough, the wound was deep and long.
Roar!
Hayato got hit again, his anger boiling over even more. He let out a furious roar, like a bomb exploding and shaking everyone's heads. Without holding back, Hayato rushed right in front of the Anbu captain, his giant fist swinging down hard, slicing the air with a fierce wind.
The Anbu captain didn't expect that his all-out strike—his strongest slash so far—would only leave a single wound on Hayato. That cut could have killed any normal person, but on Hayato, it was barely more than a pinprick, just a sting.
Seeing Hayato's fist coming fast, the Anbu captain couldn't dodge anymore. He swung his samurai sword again and again, the blade flashing cold light. Blood spatters bloomed on Hayato's huge body each time, but it didn't stop him from advancing one bit.
In just a blink, Hayato's giant fist came crashing down. The Anbu captain bit his lip, gathered all his chakra, and swung one more time—this slash was his ultimate, reaching a new peak of power.
Thunk!
Blood bloomed on Hayato's fist. You could even see white bone beneath the skin, but it was untouched, flawless — no marks at all.
The huge fist stayed steady, like a mountain.
Bang!
Hayato's fist smashed into the Anbu captain's body. The captain gripped his sword with both hands, desperately blocking the blow. But Hayato's strength was just too overwhelming. The force surged into the captain's body, and even though he gritted his teeth and held on, he couldn't resist.
Splurt!
His legs gushed blood like opened faucets, veins bursting, flesh crushed by the sheer force. Not just his legs—his arms, especially the hands holding the sword, started cracking and breaking apart.
Skin, muscle, blood vessels all shredded, exploding with a sickening pop, leaving only white bones.
"Die! Die! Diiieee!" Hayato roared, lifting his fist high again. His giant green eyes stared down at the captain who was still standing but barely alive — basically just holding on by a thread. With all his rage, Hayato's fist slammed down hard once more.
Boom!
Blood sprayed everywhere, flesh torn to pieces!
But Hayato's fury didn't stop there. His massive fists kept rising and falling again and again. The ground trembled, as if an apocalypse had come.
Everyone watched in terror, their eyes wide and full of fear, staring at Hayato — that monstrous green beast.
Far away, Konoha's Anbu members looked on at the rampaging green giant. Fear was impossible to hide in their eyes.
"Damn it!"
"It's a monster. It really is a monster!"
"Our captain's dead?"
"No way! Captain White Fang of Konoha?"
"Captain…"
"Damn it. His kid was just born recently…"
"....."
