Chapter 56: Byakuya Turns the Tide, Yūgao's Heart is Won!
As a Ninjutsu awakened when he first obtained the system...
Byakuya had never used it before.
Because there were simply no enemies worthy of him taking action like this.
But today, these two Tailed Beasts had successfully made him use it.
"True - Several Thousand Arms!"
"It really is that move!!"
The Nine-Tailed's eyes were wide to their limit; how it wished it could flee right now.
But there was no way to escape at all!
In the next second, Byakuya controlled the entire True Several Thousand Hands, concentrating all the weight into fists to strike the One tail, delivering hundreds of punishments.
Every fist could destroy mountains and meteors; its power was so great it felt as if his own hands might shatter.
And the Nine-Tailed inevitably bore the other half of the damage.
Clang!
The feeling of this punch sent the Nine-Tailed's thoughts back to that day.
Back then, that man had slammed a punch onto its forehead just like this.
Now, Byakuya's attack was even stronger than Senju Hashirama's attack from back then.
"W-What kind of attack is this?"
Temari watched this scene in disbelief.
Byakuya had actually summoned a giant over a hundred meters tall.
And with just a few punches, he had completely crushed the Hidden Sand Village's proudest trump card.
"Gaara!"
Temari looked at the scene in the sky with extreme nervousness.
Right now, she could only hope that Byakuya would not harm Gaara.
"Stop fighting, I surrender!"
On the other side, the Nine-Tailed was also unable to withstand Byakuya's storm-like attacks.
The key issue was that he was the one tanking all the damage himself.
Naruto, as the Jinchuriki, wasn't affected in the slightest!
The Nine-Tailed had wanted to surrender the moment Byakuya threw his first punch.
But Byakuya didn't give him any time to speak before landing dozens more punches.
The Nine-Tailed's situation was still alright.
As for the One tail on the other side, if the Nine-Tailed hadn't sensed that the other party still had some vitality, he would have thought it was already dead.
Finally, the One tail and the Nine-Tailed could no longer maintain their Tailed Beast states.
Soon, they were completely beaten back into the bodies of their Jinchuriki.
"Four Symbols Seal!"
Byakuya's use of the Four Symbols Seal was becoming increasingly proficient.
It had to be said, there was naturally a reason why the Four Symbols Seal was recorded in the scroll of seals.
"Since the people of Hidden Sand Village don't know how to seal, I'll do it for them!"
After grabbing Gaara, Byakuya looked at the seal Hidden Sand Village had placed on him with a face full of disdain.
At this level, Byakuya would find them unworthy even to carry his shoes.
"Break!"
With a single 'Break' command, all the seals on Gaara's body were instantly shattered.
Then, Byakuya set up new seals.
"Four Symbols Seal!"
"Eight Trigrams Seal!"
With just these two seals, before he could become a perfect Jinchuriki...
The One tail would likely only be able to serve as a power bank.
"Byakuya, I don't need it, right? I won't dare to do it again next time!"
Seeing that it was his turn, the Nine-Tailed quickly controlled Naruto's body to plead.
In principle, it should have some dignity as a Tailed Beast.
But now, the 'principles' were in Byakuya's hands.
However, Byakuya couldn't be bothered to waste words with Kurama.
He didn't care whether it knew its mistake or not.
It could come out and talk again once it became a true perfect Jinchuriki!
He followed the same procedure again.
Soon, Kurama was also sent back to where it belonged.
Only after finishing everything did Byakuya release his Wood Release Ninjutsu.
Then, with Gaara in one hand and Naruto in the other, he returned below.
"Gaara!"
Temari and Kankuro rushed over to Byakuya.
They breathed a long sigh of relief after seeing that Gaara was still breathing.
Then, Temari looked at Byakuya with a complex expression.
It seemed as if she was only truly getting to know this man starting from today.
"Byakuya, what should we do with these three Hidden Sand Village Ninjas?"
Yūgao Uzuki looked at Temari and the others with a complicated gaze.
Although she knew they were Hidden Sand Village Ninjas, these people were ultimately just children.
"Gaara, Kankuro, and I haven't harmed any Konoha Ninjas!"
At this moment, Temari quickly stepped forward to explain on their behalf.
Temari looked at Byakuya expectantly, hoping he would believe her words.
In this plan, they hadn't killed a single Konoha Ninja.
"I can actually testify to that."
Sakura Haruno was still too kind-hearted at this time, so she stepped forward and spoke.
The key was that Sakura had never experienced war.
"I know, otherwise your fate wouldn't be just this!"
Byakuya naturally knew she wasn't lying, and he also knew Temari and the others didn't intend to truly be enemies with Konoha.
"Yūgao, take them back to Konoha."
The rest of Konoha still needed Byakuya's intervention, so he naturally didn't have time to watch over these people.
So he could only have Yūgao take them into custody first.
"Byakuya, I want to settle my grudge personally!"
After a moment of silence, Yūgao said firmly.
Only by completely settling her grudge could she make a clean break from the past!
"Byakuya, let me watch over them!"
At this time, Sasuke took the initiative to speak.
The way he looked at Byakuya had completely changed.
His eyes couldn't hide his respect, hope, and longing!
"No problem!"
Byakuya didn't mind; with Sasuke's strength, watching over a few people was definitely not an issue.
"The next location is!"
Within Byakuya's sensory range, only the east side of Konoha and the Chunin Exams arena remained.
"External Incarnation!"
Byakuya clapped his hands together, and then an identical Byakuya appeared before everyone.
"This is?"
Yūgao Uzuki was shocked by this indistinguishable clone.
"Is this the Ninjutsu Byakuya created himself during the graduation exam?"
Sasuke was now completely awestruck by the strength Byakuya displayed.
One must know, Sasuke almost never deferred to anyone.
But today, a look of admiration rarely appeared on Sasuke's face because of Byakuya.
"Byakuya, which one is you?"
Yūgao said with a nervous expression.
She really couldn't tell which one was Byakuya's true body.
"It doesn't matter which is the true body; they are both controlled by me personally."
Byakuya placed his hand on Yūgao's shoulder.
"Forbidden Secret Technique! Instant Hell Shadow Kill Formation!"
The next second, Byakuya vanished from the spot, taking Yūgao Uzuki with him.
It could be said that the broken nature of the Forbidden Secret Technique! Instant Hell Shadow Kill Formation far surpassed the Flying Thunder God.
As long as your Chakra could withstand the consumption, you could achieve ultra-long-distance displacement.
At the same time, it didn't rely on marks like the Flying Thunder God did.
"So, Byakuya, where are you going to solve next?"
Sakura looked curiously at the remaining Byakuya, wanting to know where he was headed next.
"There's still one beast!"
Byakuya's gaze pointed directly toward the forest on the east side of Konoha.
In his perception, there was still a Summoning Beast and dozens of Hidden Sand Village Ninjas there.
The next second, Byakuya performed the Instant Shadow Killing Array again and disappeared from the spot.
It could be said that when he created the External Incarnation, Byakuya had specifically given the Three-Tails' Chakra to this body.
Therefore, even while controlling two bodies simultaneously...
Byakuya didn't have to worry about running out of Chakra at all.
On the other side, at the Chunin Exams arena.
"Kakashi, the Third Hokage doesn't seem to be able to hold on much longer!"
"Otherwise, let me open the Eight Gates..."
Might Guy noticed that on the other side, the Third Hokage was completely overwhelmed.
"Damn it, I didn't expect Orochimaru to actually summon the First Hokage and the Second Hokage!"
"Guy, don't be impulsive, the Third Hokage has his own way!"
Kakashi quickly stopped Might Guy.
The situation outside the arena was also not optimistic.
After all this time, the Root under Lord Danzo seemed to have vanished.
And the two Hokage Advisors didn't seem to have any intention of intervening either.
The key was that so much time had passed; even if they were running a lap around Konoha, they should have been back by now.
"Damn it!"
Thinking of this, Kakashi could only curse inwardly.
The next second, Byakuya's figure appeared in front of Kakashi.
"Byakuya!"
Kakashi was instantly overjoyed.
Great, it's Byakuya. Our Konoha is saved.
"Byakuya!!"
In contrast, there was Kabuto on the other side.
Kabuto couldn't even speak properly after seeing Byakuya arrive.
Only those who had personally seen Byakuya's strength would understand just how terrifying he was.
"Those useless trash!"
Seeing Yūgao Uzuki beside Byakuya, Kabuto knew that the trash from Hidden Sand Village must have failed.
Thinking of this, Kabuto couldn't help but curse them ten thousand times in his heart.
If he hadn't been stopped by Might Guy, how could he have let the target escape?
In the end, five Hidden Sand Village Ninjas couldn't even catch one injured person.
If the people of Hidden Sand Village are this pathetic, what did they even come here for!
But at this moment, Kabuto had no time to think.
Because next, he would have to face the strongest person in Konoha right now—Byakuya!
"I surrender!"
With just a single look from Byakuya,
Kabuto dropped his weapons immediately without a second thought.
In fact, Kabuto didn't dare to put on an act at all, not even a little bit.
If he were facing Might Guy, Kabuto might have tried to feign something.
He might have used a fake surrender as a pretext to launch a sneak attack.
But facing Byakuya, Kabuto didn't even dare to entertain such a thought.
"This!"
Kakashi and Might Guy never expected things to be this simple.
They had been fighting Kabuto and the Hidden Sand Village Ninjas for so long.
Kabuto had never shown the slightest intention of surrendering before.
"Hmph!"
Byakuya was naturally familiar with Kabuto's character.
If Kabuto didn't have this level of discernment, how could he have survived until now?
At this moment, Yūgao Uzuki hesitated, looking as if she wanted to say something.
It was clear that she had some questions she wanted to ask.
"Ask away!"
Seeing through Yūgao Uzuki's thoughts, Byakuya didn't mind too much.
On the contrary, Byakuya quite admired a Ninja like Yūgao Uzuki, who was so direct with her love and hate.
This was also why Byakuya had two different attitudes toward Temari and Yūgao Uzuki.
Because Byakuya truly only liked mature women.
Unwavering until death.
The current Temari completely lacked the charm of the mature woman she would become when she grew up.
"Gekkō... Hayate... who exactly killed him!"
Yūgao Uzuki looked at Kabuto with cold eyes.
Yūgao Uzuki had said she would definitely take her revenge!
Only in this way could Yūgao Uzuki completely sever all ties with the past.
Otherwise, Yūgao Uzuki would never be able to rest in peace even in death.
"Oh no!"
After seeing Byakuya choose to back Yūgao Uzuki, Kabuto knew things were going south.
After all, he was present when Gekkō Hayate died.
However, facing Yūgao Uzuki's death stare, Kabuto didn't dare to hide anything.
Because the man behind Yūgao Uzuki could make him understand the meaning of death in an instant!
"It was when I was contacting the Hidden Sand Village, I was discovered by Gekkō Hayate..."
"I'm going to kill you!"
Yūgao Uzuki immediately gripped her Ninja blade, prepared to finish off Kabuto.
"Wait, I haven't finished speaking yet!"
Kabuto felt wronged; he hadn't finished his sentence.
"Gekkō Hayate was killed by Baki, the lead Jonin of the Hidden Sand Village!"
In his urgency, Kabuto blurted it out.
Although he was confident that Yūgao Uzuki couldn't beat him,
He had to consider who was standing behind Yūgao Uzuki!
"Baki?"
Yūgao Uzuki seemed to have a slight memory of this person.
Byakuya also knew that Kabuto wasn't lying; in the original story, it was indeed this person who killed Gekkō Hayate.
"Where is Baki now?"
Yūgao Uzuki stared intently at Kabuto, wanting to get Baki's location from him.
What could Kabuto do? Byakuya was watching from the side.
"Over there!"
Kabuto pointed in a direction very honestly.
Better for a fellow daoist to die than for me to die.
In the next second, Byakuya appeared in the center of the Chunin Exams arena again, bringing Yūgao Uzuki with him.
As for Hiruzen Sarutobi.
Byakuya looked up at the Third Hokage, who was holding out inside the Four Violet Flames Formation.
At this time, the Third Hokage had been forced to summon even the Monkey King Enma.
Actually, Byakuya had his own selfish reasons for not immediately stepping in to help Hiruzen Sarutobi.
Although he knew the old man wasn't entirely clean and valued him more because of the Wood Release,
Still, the old man had treated him reasonably well.
Instead of letting the old man die of old age under countless doubts, it was better to give him a heroic end.
The old man's life could be said to be a mix of praise and blame.
Byakuya didn't want to discuss those various disputes.
Giving him a heroic end could be considered letting him not fail Konoha.
When a person dies, their light goes out; if they die heroically, many of their flaws are forgotten by the public.
Therefore, Byakuya did not go to save the Third Hokage immediately.
Moreover, nearly half of Hiruzen Sarutobi's trusted aides in all of Konoha hadn't come, so he didn't feel like getting involved in these disputes.
But Baki was going to have a rough time next.
Baki, who was currently clashing Ninjutsu with Shiranui Genma, suddenly felt as if he were being targeted by some terrifying existence.
"You are... Byakuya!"
Baki realized things were going bad when he saw the cold-faced Byakuya, and there was also a female Ninja beside Byakuya looking at him with a face full of anger.
"You are Byakuya, are you going to make a move too?"
Baki looked at Byakuya with a face full of vigilance.
He knew Byakuya's strength was very powerful, and he was far from being a match.
But Byakuya simply shook his head faintly.
"Your enemy is not me, it's her!"
"Not you?"
Baki was first stunned, then became ecstatic.
If it wasn't Byakuya, what did he have to fear?
Baki looked at Yūgao Uzuki, and she didn't look particularly strong no matter how he viewed her.
"Are you sure?"
Byakuya sighed and looked at Yūgao.
In response, Yūgao hesitated for a moment.
She was indeed not the opponent's match, but only by personally killing the opponent could she completely bid farewell to the past.
Yūgao Uzuki admitted she was attracted by Byakuya's charm.
But she had to give her past self an explanation.
"No other choice then."
Byakuya then called up his system.
"System, is that Trait I drew last time still there?"
"Ding, it is here, Host. Once an Trait is drawn, it will absolutely not disappear."
"Empowerment (Blue): Transfer one of the Host's drawn abilities (limited to blue entries and below) to a designated subordinate. This subordinate must be absolutely loyal to the Host."
To be honest, if this hadn't happened today, Byakuya would have planned to fuse this Trait.
You could say it's useful, and it indeed has some use.
But you could also say it's useless, and it really is quite useless.
Byakuya himself looked down on it, and transferring power to his subordinates was even more ridiculous.
Only being able to transfer a blue Trait made it just so-so.
Moreover, the restrictions on this thing were huge; it required the person receiving the power to be absolutely loyal to him.
The blue entries Byakuya had drawn before were always used as materials for three-in-one fusion.
He only kept this Trait because it seemed a bit like a 'chicken rib'—useless but a pity to discard.
It just so happened he had another blue Trait here that might be suitable for Yūgao.
"Phew, Yūgao, do you trust me?"
Byakuya looked directly into Yūgao Uzuki's eyes.
Yūgao Uzuki looked back at Byakuya the same way.
When was the first time they met? It was probably when she was responsible for monitoring Naruto.
At that time, she was also attracted by this handsome Ninja.
And when did she develop feelings for him? Yūgao Uzuki was no longer sure.
"I do!"
Yūgao Uzuki looked at Byakuya with firm eyes; at this moment, there was not a hint of impurity in her gaze.
