[Hakku], a taijutsu move refined by Shen from Musashi's sword techniques, was specially designed for the Wind Chakra Mode.
Unlike standard Wind Release cuts, Hakku compressed chakra into a single point and then expanded within a certain radius upon contact with the target.
In simpler terms, it functioned like a retractable blade, hence why it could gradually peel through Huitian's protective chakra veil layer by layer.
If used for long-range attacks, it was roughly equivalent to an average C-rank Wind Release technique. However, when fighting up close, because one's own cells could constantly replenish chakra, its power output depended entirely on the user's physical strength.
Sure, it's listed as a taijutsu technique, but really, it's like using your whole body as a sword.
"Come here," Shen dispersed the wind blade hovering over his fingers and extended his right hand toward Nayou.
Startled, Nayou instinctively placed her small hand into his slightly larger palm.
Just when the mood was getting right, things suddenly took a turn for the worse.
"Hey! You there, let go of our young lady's hand immediately!"
Over a hundred Hyuga clan members glared murderously at the pair, focusing on their joined hands.
Witnessing this, Nayou quickly withdrew her left hand and stepped protectively in front of Shen. "Everyone, let me explain—"
"Don't worry, Young Lady! We'll definitely capture this troublemaker!"
"Exactly!" shouted a hundred voices in unison.
The Hyuga clansmen rushed forward without bothering to listen to explanations.
Anger alone couldn't begin to describe what they were feeling now.
Faced with the charging crowd, Shen actually stretched lazily. "It's been a while since I last got to move around. Let me be a little serious then."
Then he drew out the Chakra Channeling Blade—a sword whose sheath reached higher than himself—and instantly charged toward the crowd.
As he approached the Hyugas, he assumed a ready stance, drawing his sword while sharply focusing his gaze ahead.
[Drawing Slash!]
A semicircular slash attack swept outward toward the still-advancing group.
The front row of Hyuga members quickly formed a straight line, activating Huitian and various defensive taijutsu techniques to block the assault.
Shen slid the blade back into its sheath immediately after the slash, completely unsurprised that his attack had been blocked.
After all, Drawing Slash was only a long-range sword skill he'd grasped after spending half a day learning from Musashi—an attack relying purely on bodily strength.
"I wonder how many times Huitian's defense can withstand this?" Shen smirked mysteriously and once again assumed the sword-drawing posture.
At that same moment, crackling white lightning densely covered his entire body.
In the next instant, gripping the hilt of the Chakra Channeling Blade without fully drawing it from its sheath, he already launched a slash directly at the opposing frontline's Huitian defense.
[Uchiha Style Kenjutsu – Piercing Slash!]
Maintaining the drawing stance without fully releasing the blade, Shen eerily kept relentless slashes hammering down onto the enemy's forward Huitian shield.
From the perspective of the Hyuga clansmen's Byakugan, they couldn't detect any visible movement from him, yet his entire being—inside and out—was completely filled with chakra.
[Void-Sundering Slash Attack] was a sword technique that involved rapid consecutive Drawing Slashes. It looked eerie because of Shen's chakra nature—his speed was so intense, people thought he never even drew his blade.
With powerful physical reaction speed combined with ultra-fast unsheathing, he could precisely control every muscle in his arm mid-swing and instantly return the sword to its sheath.
Mentally counting each draw, Shen reached the fifty-fourth slash when he shattered the entire row of Huitian defenses and knocked out the defending Hyūga clan members.
Surrounded by white lightning, he vanished from sight and reappeared before the second line of Hyūga clan members.
Gripping the still-sheathed Chakra Channeling Blade in his right hand, he used his incredible speed to slam one opponent sideways, sending them flying.
"What incredible speed!" Nayou's eyes were filled with shock.
Only now did she realize how much her friend, Shen Uchiha, had improved over the past year.
The Chakra Channeling Blade, still inside its sheath, randomly appeared among the Hyūga group, striking them one by one—all flying in the same direction.
"30, 31, 32!" In just a minute, Shen had taken down more than thirty standing Hyūga clan members.
But these were all relatively weak ones—he was naturally targeting the softer options first.
"Damn it!" A figure within the Hyūga ranks wearing a pale blue lion's head emblem successfully blocked the sheath of the Chakra Channeling Blade.
It was obvious he was from the main branch.
"Attack together!" Seeing an opening, about ten Hyūga members quickly launched an assault.
"It looks like I'll have to draw my sword after all," Shen said, sensing the sound of rushing air, and drew his Chakra Channeling Blade from the black sheath he tightly gripped.
After a flash of silver light, each of those ten attackers now bore several light wounds.
"You brat, you're finished!" The Hyūga main-branch member roared, slamming the sheath on the ground before charging forward rapidly.
Shen blocked a fist wrapped in pale blue chakra using his blade.
A thrill coursed through him: "Yeah, real progress still needs a serious fight."
He decided to take down the remaining seventy or eighty Hyūga with just his blade skills alone.
Inside the Uchiha Commercial Street, the Hyūga Clan Head couple instantly lost their good mood upon seeing a certain clan member.
Meide immediately exploded in anger: "Kazushi, you crusty old geezer, get over here right now!"
Kazushi, who had just finished work and was happily sitting in a hotpot restaurant, put down his chopsticks and bowl upon hearing the piercing voice and hurriedly rushed outside.
From afar, he spotted his long-time rival striding forward with a sneer, arms folded across his chest.
"Well, well, if it isn't the living fossil from the Hyūga clan! What's with the sour face?"
Meide's anger skyrocketed instantly: "Old man, don't get smart with me! Listen, your kid is causing chaos at my Hyūga compound!"
"Pfft, is that really all you're upset about? If you've got guts, come cause some trouble in our Uchiha district too!" Hearing that his own mischievous son had caused trouble, Kazushi immediately retorted without hesitation.
His thoughts were very straightforward — no matter whose fault it was, shielding one's own family was never wrong.
Seeing Meide's protective stance, Meide tightened his fists even more. "Old fart, your kid is barely of age! How dare he lay hands on my daughter!"
"Nonsense! I know that brat's character better than anyone. Don't flatter yourself so much, old relic."
"Nonsense? Your boy already laid his hands on my precious daughter!"
"So what if he did? Holding hands won't get her knocked up."
"Today it's little hands, tomorrow it's sweet lips, and the day after… Who knows what kind of trouble that brat will cause?"
Kazushi's entire worldview was completely shattered by Meide's wild logic.
By that reasoning, wouldn't he become a grandfather soon?
Thinking about this possibility actually brought a smile to his face. "I tell you what, old relic, this isn't the old days anymore. Your thinking is seriously outdated."
When Meide saw that smug expression, he stepped forward and grabbed the other man's collar: "Are you going to handle this or not?"
Looking indifferent, Kazushi brushed the hands away and only answered after straightening his clothes: "Handle what? For all we know, that brat might have already beaten the living daylights out of your people by now."
Shoved off like that, Meide shot back, "Like I'd ever trust you?! In fact, it was *your* guys who were hogtied at *our* gate!"
"Keep telling yourself that, old fossil. Even if you personally confronted him, you probably couldn't do anything to that kid."
"I don't buy it!"
The two clan leaders bickered for quite a while before finally coming to an agreement.
They would observe the situation first and then discuss how to resolve this matter.
