"This action is a show of defiance against us."
The two of them had the same thought at the same time: Senju Nawaki's attack on Hyūga Hiashi was a warning to others.
Their gazes simultaneously fell upon Hyūga Hiashi, that was the chicken.
His fate will not be good.
Hyūga Jirō is concerned about another point: if gravity exists, what about attraction and repulsion?
Hiss...
Just as they had imagined, attraction and repulsion erupted in Hyūga Hiashi's body.
A tearing sound rang out. Hyūga Hiashi's body appeared intact, but most of his organs were torn apart by the forces of gravity and repulsion.
It was kneaded into a pulp, completely lifeless, and unable to sustain Hyūga Hiashi's continued survival.
Hyūga Hiashi's eyes remained firmly open; he tried to lift his head, but remained motionless, lying on the spot.
"How is that possible? Two forces are concentrated in him, and he has such a high degree of control over them."
Hyūga Jirō showed no regret for Hyūga Hiashi's death, but was worried about what the mysterious man before him would do to the Hyūga clan.
Swish...
"Hiashi…" Hyūga Hizashi unleashed a powerful burst of chakra from his feet, instantly appearing in front of Hyūga Hiashi, touching and examining him with both hands, his face filled with grief.
After a thorough examination, Hyūga Hizashi determined that Hyūga Hiashi was completely dead and there was no possibility of saving him.
The Hyūga clan suffered its worst loss in history, with their patriarch being killed in broad daylight.
The system of dividing the family into separate branches and the main branch seems to be less than perfect.
The incompetent leader of the clan became the biggest weakness.
"what have you been doing!"
Hyūga Hizashi's eyes, which should have been pale white, turned crimson, a bloodshot hue filling his eyes as he stared intently at Senju Nawaki.
His misjudgment prevented him from even using his strongest defensive technique, and Hiashi Hyūga was killed by Nawaki Senju.
He should have protected Hiashi Hyūga, which would have gone against his own Nindō.
"Hakke: Kūjin Ranbu!"
He stood up, assumed a horse stance, and with a half-step and open palm, his palm shadows danced in front of him as he muttered a low shout accompanied by the sight of blood.
boom...
boom...
...
Dozens of transparent palm prints rushed toward the Senju Nawaki with a whooshing sound.
Ordinary people wouldn't be able to see the traces of these palm prints at all. Fortunately, everyone present has Byakugan or even higher-level eye techniques.
"Hakke Kūshō? Can it be used like that?"
A ninja from the Hyūga branch family stared wide-eyed at the scene before him in disbelief.
Such attack power is nothing short of long-range, unsealable ninjutsu; even if it's not A-rank, it's at least B-rank.
Based on the incomplete Gentle Fist training they received after their family split, it would be difficult for them to even make a single palm print, let alone so many transparent palm prints.
As far as they knew, Hyūga Hizashi did not receive complete instruction in Gentle Fist and Empty Palm techniques; he relied entirely on his talent to deduce the later moves and even innovate upon them.
Is that possible?
Everyone has different thoughts.
"Hyūga Hizashi, you are a genius, but it's a pity that you just won't stand on the side of the branch family. You have been kicked out of the main family by them. The predicament we are facing now is the predicament that your descendants will face."
Hyūga Hizashi's eyes were dim. If Hyūga Hizashi's stance was that of the branch family, then he could relinquish his leadership position and let Hyūga Hizashi lead the Hyūga branch family.
I believe that the future of the Hyūga clan won't be too bad.
"Is it possible that the main family has always possessed this method of long-range attack, but has simply hidden it from the branch families?"
That's why we lack ranged attacks on the battlefield and rely mostly on physical combat.
There was a different kind of light in the eyes of one of the Hyūga branch families.
This is not unfounded speculation; the Hyūga main family has done even more disgusting things.
Gentle Fist only teaches a portion of the techniques; only those who have made outstanding contributions can be taught the later moves.
But this is a shared heritage, especially for those with disabilities and those fighting in the most dangerous places; it is a life-saving ability.
No matter how talented Hyūga Hizashi was, he couldn't have developed such powerful taijutsu based on Gentle Fist in such a short time. It was clearly a direct descendant of Gentle Fist.
Legend has it that the attack angle of the Gentle Fist is 365 degrees, and the main family practices the complete Hakkeshō: Kūshō.
The main family branch practices a 360-degree Gentle Fist technique, also known as having no blind spots.
Just like their flawed Byakugan, the fifth degree beyond a full circle is a martial art specifically created to compensate for the flaws caused by the cursed seal during the branch family's separation.
The main family, however, shelved this martial art.
Whether Hyūga Hizashi reached his current pinnacle through his own enlightenment or through the secret instruction of his father and brother, he was not the only one to achieve this level of mastery.
This shows a significant disparity in treatment. He had only recently separated from the main family and still enjoyed some of the privileges of the main family.
My previous appreciation and impression of Hyūga Hizashi have weakened, which explains why he is so protective of the main family comrade, because he is a beneficiary of this system.
Everyone was stunned.
Everyone was eager to see how the Senju Nawaki would respond.
"Yasogami Kūgeki? He is indeed a genius. He has returned to the origin of the technique based on the Soft Circle and reached a level close to the Yasogami Kūgeki."
Senju Nawaki nodded in agreement, acknowledging everyone's assessment of Hyūga Hizashi, who truly lived up to his reputation as a genius.
The technique before them already possessed the flair of Kaguya Ōtsutsuki's Yasogami Kūgeki.
It must be said that Hyūga Neji inherited many things from his father to a certain extent, both his strengths and weaknesses.
No wonder they say the son of a scapegoat is still a scapegoat.
"However, that's all!"
With a gentle wave of his hand, Senju Nawaki created a transparent barrier before him. As longing spread, a circle was formed in front of Senju, distorting the space around him.
Bang bang bang...
The transparent palm print made a clattering sound on the barrier.
Half of them disappeared, and the other half were transferred away. Hongji was among the Hyūga clan members.
Several Hyūga branch family ninjas were injured in the rush, the most seriously of whom had his head smashed flat and lost all signs of life.
What is this?
The Hyūga clan members gasped in amazement.
"..."
"Damn it, what is this thing? It's even stronger than the strongest defensive technique, Kaiten?"
Hyūga Hizashi snapped out of his rage and looked at the scene before him.
His eyes shone brightly, and he felt a familiar power on the barrier before him.
"Gravity! The superposition of countless layers of different gravity makes it impossible for my attacks to even get close to the opponent."
Hyūga Hizashi only woke up suddenly after the attack ended.
"Gravity? Not only that, there are also attraction and repulsion forces that redirect the attack in other directions."
Hyūga Jirō frowned as he looked at the scene before him, feeling a sense of familiarity.
The defense that Hyūga Hizashi uses when he performs the Tenseigan Technique, which adds gravity, is somewhat similar, but more compressed and tighter.
The ability to redirect attacks just now was more like attraction and repulsion.
