Chapter 142 The Immortal Cultivation School vs. the Generation
Chapter 142 The Immortal School vs. Chiyo
The chakra stirred up a powerful aura, and Hyuga Hizashi unleashed his Gentle Fist, his entire body surrounded by an extremely dense chakra. Although the Chikamatsu Ten Puppet Masters attacked densely, they could not get close to him for a time.
Hyuga Hizashi's expression was solemn, while Chiyo's expression was merely unusual, and she remained calm and composed.
As a Jonin of the Hyuga clan, she was slightly surprised, but not astonished, that she could withstand the attacks of the Chikamatsu Ten.
The opponent's Gentle Fist looked powerful and precise, but the chakra was too concentrated, so it was clear that it couldn't last long.
Her puppetry skills were entirely at her command, with the speed and timing entirely at her discretion, completely disregarding the duration of each moment.
The moment her defense contracts, that's her opening.
Hyuga Hizashi was clearly aware of this as well. As he unleashed the full power of Gentle Fist, his chakra gradually decreased, and he knew that killing Chiyo was still unlikely.
If there is even the slightest flaw, ten puppets could take his life.
As their thoughts raced, their hands moved without pause. The commotion from their fight was immense, causing wood and stone to shatter, the ground to churn, and the afterimages of their bodies to cause the ninjas to retreat in disarray.
As time went by, and estimating that his own ninjas had retreated to a certain distance, Hyuga Hizashi began to consider retreating.
Chiyo keenly noticed his change, and as she watched Hyuga Hizashi retreat while fighting, she sneered.
"Want to leave now? Stay!"
With a wave of his hand, several dark figures shot out, and Hyuga Hizashi hurriedly dodged.
"Boom boom boom!!!"
"~
The intense flames that had just erupted from where he was meant that Chiyo had seen through his intention to leave.
"I hope I don't die here?" Hyuga Hizashi thought to himself.
Seeing the situation becoming increasingly unfavorable, Hyuga Hizashi gritted his teeth and then increased the force in his hands once again.
"~iiii check, under his ferocious attack that disregarded chakra consumption, several puppets were hit in the joints by the sharp Gentle Fist. With several loud cracking sounds, the puppets' combat power was greatly reduced."
Chiyo's eyes remained cold.
A few puppets are nothing. Even if they're damaged or totaled, so what? Give her some time, and she can repair them. As long as she can keep a Jonin from the Hyuga clan, any cost is worthwhile!
As time passed, every second felt incredibly long to Hyuga Hizashi.
As he felt his chakra tightening, his mood grew increasingly heavy.
It wasn't that no one came to his aid; however, in such a dense and intense battle, ordinary ninjas simply couldn't get involved. The few ninjas who came over not only failed to help but were instead held back by the Sand Village ninjas.
Hyuga Hizashi's physical strength gradually gave out.
Sensing the subtle changes in the opponent's movements, a cold killing intent flashed in Chiyo's eyes. She flicked her fingers rapidly, and the attack frequency of the remaining Chikamatsu Ten Puppet Puppet suddenly increased.
Despite the damage and exhaustion the puppet would suffer, she was determined to leave it here.
"Oh no," Hyuga Hizashi thought to himself.
Despite his anxiety, the depletion of chakra and the intense exhaustion of his physical strength eventually slowed his movements down.
A puppet's long sword pierced through layers of obstacles, passed through the waist of another puppet, and sliced Hyuga Hizashi's shoulder.
In an instant, Hyuga Hizashi had only one thought in his mind.
It's over!
His heart, which had been pounding with anxiety, finally calmed down. He knew that the time for a desperate fight had come.
For him, the choice between dying a miserable death or striving for posthumous glory was not too difficult.
As he spoke of his last chakra, his gaze sharpened like a hawk's, looking through the puppet at the elderly Chiyo.
"A desperate struggle?" Chiyo's expression remained unchanged as she manipulated the puppets to shield herself while quickly retreating.
Just then, a whooshing sound suddenly rang out!
"Whoosh!~"
The sword light flashed like a rainbow, passing by at a speed that astonished the two of them.
Hyuga Hizashi felt a numbness in his shoulder.
"Is he here to mess with me?" That thought first popped into his mind, but then he realized something was wrong.
It doesn't seem like they're here to kill me.
On his shoulder, the wound inflicted by the puppet, along with a large chunk of flesh, was sliced off by the sword light, the cut surface smooth and deep enough to reveal the bone.
Immediately afterwards, a series of explosions rang out.
However, that figure was engaged in battle with the Chikamatsu Ten.
"Clang clang clang clang clang!!!!
"Damn it!" Chiyo cursed in exasperation, while Hyuga Hizashi was filled with astonishment.
A familiar young figure flashed by, his sword flashing like a flurry of flowers and rain, relentlessly attacking the puppet's joints.
As Chiyo manipulated the silk threads, the puppets flew up and down, unleashing a variety of weapons. Yet, the young figure seemed to dance with the wind, his sword flashing as he moved, blocking every puppet attack and even launching a counterattack.
"retreat!"
The young figure let out a loud shout.
Hyuga Hizashi seemed to wake from a dream. Although blood was oozing from his shoulder, it was only a minor injury for a ninja.
He raised his uninjured arm, unleashed his Gentle Fist, and forced back the Sand Village ninja who tried to block him when they sensed the danger. As he retreated, he looked worriedly at the young man in front of Chiyo.
His figure darted through the treetops, and the Byakugan's near-omnidirectional field of vision allowed him to face Sunagakure and steadily retreat.
Hyuga Hizashi's eyes were filled with amazement as he gazed at the young man who was fighting Chiyo.
That kid is so handsome!
Especially when he unleashes his swordsmanship, his demeanor is like that of an immortal or a god, as if he were not a mortal.
Hyuga Hizashi tried hard to recall the other person's name. Was it "Hoshino" or "Seiyun"?
I don't remember very clearly.
As he retreated, Hyuga Hizashi reached into his ninja tool pouch, grabbed a bunch of kunai and explosive tags, and then fired them.
"Watch out!" he warned.
"Boom boom boom!!!!~" Amidst the flashes of fire, the explosive shockwave briefly suppressed the ten members of the Shingetsu Ten. Taking advantage of the surging shockwave, Shingetsu Seiun quickly retreated by tapping his toes with his toes.
"Damn brat!" Chiyo's old face was full of murderous intent.
Originally, her killing intent was directed at Hyuga Hizashi, but now it's directed at Shingetsu Seiun.
Looking at the young figure flashing before her, and at the stunning sword light that followed her like a shadow, Chiyo's killing intent almost solidified.
A young man with superb swordsmanship.
The other person's appearance reminded her of someone she would never forget.
Konoha White Fang!
Although the young man before me is not as skilled in swordsmanship as White Fang in terms of swordsmanship, he is more handsome and younger!
If they are allowed to continue growing, perhaps in a few years, Konoha will really produce another character like White Fang.
At that time, the younger generation of Sunagakure will face such an enemy.
She absolutely will not allow it!
Forgetting about Hyuga Hizashi, Chiyo took a deep breath, her chakra surging, and even disregarding her aged body, she forcibly unleashed her chakra, causing the chakra threads in her hands to suddenly tighten and thicken.
"The White Secret Technique!"
"Knife Cage!!"
With a furious shout, all the puppets rushed forward, blocking the retreat. Swords, spears, hooks, sickles, and various other weapons overlapped and intertwined, like a net made of puppets, waiting for the prey to fall into it.
