Boom!
Heavy rain poured down as thunder exploded across the sky. Including Troy, everyone stared at the split flames in the distance and the figure walking out of them, cold sweat slowly forming on their foreheads. What kind of Ninjutsu was that, or was it some unknown Kekkei Genkai?
At the same time, Ryuji Hyuga in the distance raised his hand, blue Chakra surging out to wrap around his body like a robe fluttering in the wind. A gentle force lifted him up, and he slowly floated into the air. His posture was calm, as if the rain and thunder did not exist.
Soon after, two black beads of condensed Chakra formed and began to circle around Ryuji Hyuga's wrists. The "beads" formed by Tenseigan were not Truth-Seeking Orbs that could only be used after merging with the Ten-Tails, but functioned more like the Black Rods of the Rinnegan. When Ryuji Hyuga tried to form a third bead, the already faint connection was suddenly cut off.
He lost his perception of the Tenseigan on the moon and could no longer draw Dojutsu Power from it. His blue eyes remained steady as he thought that the reaction was fast, which meant the Otsutsuki Clan on the moon were not all dead yet. If the current Toneri Otsutsuki was only three or four years old like Naruto Uzumaki, it would be impossible for him alone to cut the link so quickly.
That meant the chance to borrow the power of that Tenseigan was only once. Realizing this, Ryuji Hyuga suppressed his greed and the tremor in his heart, then looked toward the dozens of unfamiliar presences in the distance. He thought that they had finally arrived and that the remaining Dojutsu Power would be enough to finish this performance.
Buzz, buzz!
A sharp hum cut through the rain and wind as giant Shuriken spun through the air. Eight massive Shuriken twisted forward, tearing toward Ryuji Hyuga in a rotating kill. The attack was fast and ruthless.
"Magnet Release·Twin Wasp Blades!"
Brilliant sparks exploded in front of him, flashing through the dark and rainy night as dozens of clashes happened in just a few seconds. This was the struggle of a trapped beast. Troy had truly gone mad, ignoring Chakra consumption and attacking with everything he had.
He even stepped forward himself, his bloodied face twisted into something savage. Even "Shinra Tensei" was not without limits, as the user also had to bear part of the backlash. Like when Tendo Pain used it against an enraged Naruto Uzumaki and was thrown back by an unmovable target, Ryuji Hyuga now felt a heavy counterforce pressing down on him.
"A Magnet Release user, Troy?"
Ryuji Hyuga thrust his hand forward, and dull booming sounds followed as the circling Shuriken were blown away by repulsive force. When Troy tried to control them again, he suddenly saw Ryuji Hyuga vanish from the air. The target disappeared from his sight.
"Above!"
Tangdong Akimichi's hoarse shout came from behind, and Troy instinctively looked up. Before he could react, an overwhelming force slammed down from the front. The impact came without warning.
Boom!
Troy was pressed down as if by an iron wall, forced to his knees as a chilling crack sounded from them. Rain slid off a hood as Ryuji Hyuga looked down at Troy's Forehead Protector, his shining eyes brighter than the moon in the night sky. He asked in a low, hoarse voice whether Ninshu still existed.
Kneeling in the mud, Troy felt only humiliation, anger, and fear under that gaze from above. When he still did not answer, Ryuji Hyuga spoke again with the same flat calm. The pressure increased.
Crack, crack!
Amid a series of sickening bone-breaking sounds, Troy collapsed onto all fours and screamed. He hurriedly shouted that it was gone, that Ninshu was only a legend. His voice shook as the words spilled out.
"A legend?" Ryuji Hyuga murmured to himself, questioning how shinobi could still exist while the Ninshu founded by Otsutsuki Hagoromo had vanished. The meaning of those words hit Troy like lightning. His pupils trembled as he struggled to look up at the figure above him.
In the storm, that figure stood like a jagged black cliff, unmoved by any crashing wave. Troy's pride as a Kekkei Genkai ninja looked laughable before this monster, like a small fish striking rock and finding only despair. His fangs and claws meant nothing.
As if sensing something, Ryuji Hyuga looked toward the distance. While he dealt with Troy, the people of Konoha had fled together. It was a very rational choice.
Floating in midair, Ryuji Hyuga did not pursue them and instead turned toward a rustling forest on the other side. Heavy footsteps broke through the night as dozens of muscular men rushed out. Shouts rang out when they saw Troy.
The Kumogakure Ninja stationed at the border between Land of Hot Water and Land of Lightning had arrived, only to witness a terrifying and strange scene. They reacted quickly, firing flares into the sky that lit up the rainy night and cast multiple shadows on the ground. In just a few breaths, the area was sealed with no visible escape.
The combat discipline of the Kumogakure Ninja was high, and they completed the encirclement in moments. They locked down every possible movement of Ryuji Hyuga and waited for orders from their commander. The formation was tight and precise.
"Run!"
Troy's desperate scream made the Kumogakure Ninja hesitate. There was only one enemy, so who was supposed to run? Confusion spread among them.
"This guy is a monster, a monster sealed here, his ability is…"
Before he could finish, Ryuji Hyuga lowered his eyes slightly. A crushing force followed immediately. The sound drowned out the rain.
Boom!
Troy was slammed into the ground with twisted limbs, blood vessels ready to burst in his eyes. His face was pressed into the earth, warped by unbearable pain. The sight made the faces of the Kumogakure ninjas change as several rushed forward.
"Let go of Troy!"
Ryuji Hyuga sighed softly and said that they were too loud. His tone held no anger, only annoyance. The response was instant and final.
Bang!
It was like bursting a human-shaped sack of blood, as flesh and fluid exploded outward and spread across the ground. The red mess lost all shape and restraint. Rage erupted among the Kumogakure Ninja.
"Damn him! Attack, kill him!"
Ryuji Hyuga finally raised his head and looked at the charging Kumogakure forces. He lifted his arm lightly as the two Chakra beads spun faster in front of him. Their motion formed a perfect silver ring without flaw.
Facing the incoming Ninjutsu of the Kumogakure Ninja, he calmly spoke a few words. "Silver Wheel Reincarnation Explosion." The command was soft and emotionless.
A terrifying gale burst forward, sweeping away the rain. The thunderous roar shattered the ground beneath, making it crack apart as his hood fluttered back and revealed deep blue eyes. The power rolled outward without restraint.
Several kilometers away, on a tree, a black and white figure emerged halfway from the trunk. Black Zetsu stared at the figure in the sky, his hoarse voice filled with fear as a chill rose from his soul. That kind of power should not exist in Ninja World.
White Zetsu was even more frightened and immediately sank into the ground, fleeing without hesitation. He shouted for Black Zetsu to escape as well. Neither dared to stay.
At the same time, among the fleeing group from Konoha, the "Ryuji Hyuga" at the rear suddenly stopped. He looked toward an unnoticed shadow beside him. A bandage-wrapped figure stepped out with a grin.
"Hehe, so you are Ryuji Hyuga. I have heard a lot about you."
The figure greedily stared at Ryuji Hyuga's Byakugan and said that he had followed the Magnet Release user at first. Now, the Byakugan looked just as appealing.
