Biting and Killing

Chapter 61 Biting and Killing

The sky gradually darkened.

As time went by, the border battlefield between the Land of Hot Water and the Land of Frost expanded more and more.

Whether it was Konoha or Kumogakure, their originally orderly formations were disrupted and scattered in various places. Apart from those who were fighting one-on-one with the enemy, the rest were grouped together in twos and threes, gritting their teeth and fighting against the enemy.

Minato Namikaze and the A/B combination from Kumogakure are no longer on this battlefield; it's unknown where they are fighting. At the vast border between the two countries, there are only a few dozen small battle groups that are far apart.

The battle is nearing its end, and the victor will firmly hold the border between Tang and Shuang, gaining the upper hand in the long war.

……

"Revive the crisis!"

Shinji Hyuga roared, and an impenetrable chakra shield appeared as he spun at high speed, sending two Cloud Village ninjas wielding swords flying.

A fierce glint flashed in his eyes, and he arrived in front of the flying enemies in two moves. He swung his palms repeatedly, and the sinister chakra of his Gentle Fist blasted into the bodies of the Cloud Village, instantly destroying their internal organs and meridians.

Just then, a hand suddenly patted his shoulder.

"Young Master Shinji." A deep voice rang out from behind Shinji Hyuga:

"Let's go, these two are definitely going to die."

"Hmph..." Shinji didn't turn around, his voice tinged with coldness.

"Hyuga Takuya, you missed these two people."

He addressed his fellow Jonin by his full name in an extremely impolite tone, which in most places would be a sign of a falling out.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Shinji."

Hyuga Takuya took a step back and extended his charred right hand:

"This hand is no longer usable. That Cloud Village Jonin's Lightning Release was very strong."

Shinji Hyuga snorted in dissatisfaction, but reluctantly accepted the explanation.

With a whoosh, several figures emerged from the woods, all bearing injuries and their eyes revealing exhaustion.

Together with Takuya Hyuga, they formed a circle to protect Shinji.

Apart from Shinji Hyuga, everyone here is from a branch family.

The Hyuga are a ninja clan, and the main branch is naturally not an inexperienced fledgling; they must have martial prowess to protect themselves.

As the head of the main family, Shinji received elite education from the clan elders from a young age. He was taught the complete secrets of Gentle Fist and was a capable person who would also take on missions to gain experience outside the village.

However, he was ultimately a member of the main family, and when he went to the battlefield, he would be protected by the branch family's elite soldiers. If they encountered danger, the branch family's elite soldiers would desperately intercept the enemy, and Shinji Hyuga would be able to escape unscathed.

The bodyguards are mostly composed of two branch family Jonin and several Chunin, which is actually a very powerful force. With Byakugan to guard the surroundings, it is rare for the main family's precious bloodline to encounter a life-threatening situation.

After waiting in place for a short while, Shinji suddenly frowned:

"Where is Hyuga Masataka?"

"Young Master Shinji, Masataka may be in trouble. He injured his ankle while covering the retreat."

The ankle, often referred to as the "root of the ninja," is so vulnerable that once injured, the high mobility that chakra users are so proud of will be completely lost, which is even more serious than losing a hand.

"Oh." Shinji Hinata nodded indifferently.

"Let's go then."

"Yes, Master Shinji."

"Takumi, when we return to the village, I will apply for another Jonin to supplement our guard."

"This is your right, young master Shinji."

"Ha... What do you think about having Hyuga Yuto protect me? Sigh, too bad, he's a disciple of the Sannin, this is a difficult situation to manage..."

No one suggested "going to rescue their comrades." For the branch family's assassins, the lives of the main family they were protecting were everything. Shinji Hyuga's dismissive attitude went unchallenged.

The Hyuga are... a ninja clan with a few masters who keep a large number of slaves.

Although they share the same bloodline limit and the same lineage, the main family does not consider these guys with the Caged Bird tattooed on their heads to be their own kind.

When you have complete control over the lives of the other person and their descendants, it becomes difficult to treat them as equals.

From the moment the caged bird appeared, everything was destined.

Even if the original intention of this curse seal was good.

In the ravaged jungle, Shinji Hyuga, protected by the branch family's elite assassins, advanced rapidly. Their destination was the advance team's rendezvous point, a safe place with defensive ninjutsu.

Having evacuated ahead of time, Shinji Hyuga was confident he wouldn't be subject to military law; six of his branch family guards had already died, so it was understandable.

However, just as Shinji Hyuga was pondering with a gloomy expression, "what way can I get Yuto Hyuga to be my loyal follower?", a wild beast's roar suddenly echoed from the distant dense forest.

If they were Cloud Village ninjas, they would definitely have thought of something at this moment, but Shinji Hyuga and the others were only slightly taken aback, cautiously looking ahead and assuming a defensive stance.

On the day that Konoha and Kumogakure clashed for the first time in a direct battle, the lion's fangs, which had been waiting for so long, were mercilessly aimed at the target it had longed for day and night.

The man wearing the Prajna mask, like a demon, rushed from afar at an extremely terrifying speed.

His charging angle was peculiar; his chin was buried in his chest, and his entire face maintained a perfect tilt angle. The Byakugan of the main family has a 360-degree field of vision, but its gaze does not bend. In addition, his straight-line charging speed was so fast that several Hyuga members could not even see his face clearly.

"Lion Fang..." A voice as soft as a mosquito's buzz rang out, and almost at the same moment, the Lion of Hannya rushed in front of Hyuga and the others.

Shinji Hyuga still couldn't see his face clearly, but his Byakugan could see through the enemy's body and the flow of chakra in his meridians.

From the elbow... to the shoulder... back to several acupoints on the joint... then rotating and moving to the wrist... This! This is the Soft Fist!

The young master of the main family's pupils shrank to pinpoints, his expression one of utter astonishment as a dog trainer attacked by his pet dog, and he blurted out incredulously:

"You are the sun..."

"Bite it down!"

Hinata Yuto shouted out the last two words.

To increase the impact speed, he reduced his brute force by several levels, at which point the power of the "bite" was no longer enough to tear the enemy to shreds in an instant.

But the exchange of power and speed was worthwhile; just before the branch family's assassins released Kaiten, he successfully rushed in front of Shinji Hyuga.

His right hand, encased in chakra armor, slammed into Shinji Hyuga's abdomen, instantly destroying the central hub of chakra flow.

Then, he reached out his left hand and slammed it against the other person's mouth.

Shinji Hinata's fingers tore through his lips and forcefully shoved into his mouth. Shinji Hinata was terrified and instinctively bit down on Yuto Hinata's fingers.

Blood splattered, and the bone was exposed on Hyuga Yuto's fingers.

However, the boy from the branch family seemed to feel no pain. He used all his strength to clamp down on Shinji Hyuga's jaw with a snap and yanked it out of his mouth, pulling his entire jaw out along with his tongue.

Deep in the forest, Hyuga Yuto was like a lion tearing apart its prey, frenzied and ruthless.
