Hitomi engaged the Shinobi group, charging directly towards where the most people were.
Her figure was unstoppable.
She had to be. Although she wore clothing made of bio-steel, capable of withstanding most attacks, it wasn't invulnerable. Water droplets can wear through stone, let alone various Earth Releases.
Only by getting within a certain distance would the more numerous side hesitate, not daring to freely use high-lethality, large-scale Earth Releases.
To avoid accidentally killing their comrades.
Hitomi, on the other hand, had no such concerns and could drag the rhythm into her most proficient taijutsu battle.
Jumping from the tower wall, as she soared into the air, several Shinobis confident in their taijutsu simultaneously jumped, rushing towards Hitomi in mid-air.
Close-quarters combat was like this; attacking the same opponent at the same time meant the attack range and frequency had limits.
With no enemies at her back, Hitomi only faced five opponents in a frontal fan-shaped area.
It seemed like a dangerous encirclement, but in reality, it was incredibly stable.
A brilliant blue blade of light carved through the air, a trace of Chakra left on the retina.
The core of the Hyuga Clan's Gentle Fist was Chakra emission.
Whether it was Rotation, Eight Trigrams Empty Palm, Mountain Crusher, or Guardian Eight Trigrams, Gentle Step Twin Lion Fists, all were different applications based on Chakra emission.
After years of use, Hyuga Ichizoku belatedly realized this.
Since it was Chakra emission, then theoretically, any form of change was possible.
The prerequisite wasn't precision of control; for the Hyuga Clan, it was the amount of Chakra, which was insufficient to support such a luxurious usage.
In terms of form, a point was stronger than a surface; a Chakra sword was clearly more lethal than a Chakra fist.
But there was one point: directly forming a Chakra sword for battle wasn't impossible, but it was too luxurious. Gentle Fist only needed Chakra to cover the palm, which was enough to deal with most situations bare-handed.
In terms of achieving a one-hit kill by attacking weak points like internal organs, it was actually more cost-effective.
The clever method was a Chakra metal sword, but even so, the consumption was still higher than normal Gentle Fist.
However, the advantage of a sword was its length.
When Uchiha Madara's Susanoo wielded a several-hundred-meter-long Chakra sword, relentlessly cleaving at him.
Both Gentle Fist and Rotation had their limits; if they couldn't hit the person, it was all for naught.
He deeply understood this point.
And at this moment, his life's work was gambled on his daughter.
She took flight, the caged bird.
She was a soaring raptor.
Ten meters long, the Chakra blade of light flashed in the air, cutting through the five people opposite in mid-air.
After they passed each other, five severed bodies, split into ten pieces, fell limply downwards.
Secret Sword: Left Pheasant
At this moment, Hitomi in mid-air swooped down like a raptor, landing and crouching on a giant pipe extending from the tower.
Under the impact, the iron pipe beneath her feet fractured and deformed.
"Kill!"
With a furious roar, the surrounding Shinobis all charged forward.
Hitomi simply drew her sword, twisted and spun in a circle, emitting high-density Chakra and extending it to form a blade.
Secret Sword: Dove Tiger
This sword's extension was longer, the reach further.
One only saw a blue light, like a peregrine falcon, circling at high speed.
Everything on the horizontal circular path was neatly severed.
One after another, bisected bodies fell limply, blood mixed with rain pouring down. Amidst the rumbling, the top of the nearby tower slid and toppled along the cut incline, crashing downwards.
After just two sword strikes, the Amegakure Shinobis were stunned by this wild and fierce sword technique.
But the next second, their inner ferocity was re-ignited.
"Her Chakra is low!"
A sensory Shinobi warned.
