Chapter 350: Four-Tailed and Five-Tailed Release Successfully

Hiruzen Sarutobi, his expression serious, sat at the heart of the elders' council: "Shisui Uchiha, you are the Uchiha with the strongest Will of Fire I have ever seen. Would you be willing to inherit the Will of Fire and become a member of Konoha's Anbu?"

Uchiha Shisui looked up and solemnly declared, "I am willing!"

"Alright, from today onwards, you are the captain of the Anbu squad. Remember, where the leaves dance, the fire will never die!"

The Land of Earth, a border region.

A waterfall cascades down a cliff hundreds of meters high, the roar of the water echoing, and the spray forming a faint rainbow in the sunlight.

Below the waterfall is a deep, emerald-green pool with crystal-clear water where several fish swim leisurely.

In the dense forest beside the waterfall, there is a simple thatched hut.

The thatched hut was small, with only one bedroom and a semi-open-air kitchenette.

A few vegetables grew in front of the house, and chopped firewood was piled up behind it. This place was secluded from the world, far from villages and towns, making it a perfect place for a life of seclusion.

Old Zi walked from the direction of the waterfall, soaking wet, but in good spirits.

He had just finished a day of training, using Lava Release chakra to counter the impact of the waterfall, which honed his chakra control without damaging the surrounding environment.

He has persisted with this practice for three years, and the results are remarkable.

He wrung out the water from his hair as he walked, humming an unknown tune.

Old Zi stopped in his tracks as he pushed open the door of the thatched hut.

Because a young man was sitting in the room, who seemed to have been waiting for a long time, and most importantly, he hadn't sensed anything at all!

Hyuga Kagami sat in the rattan chair that Old Purple usually sat in, with his legs crossed and his hands folded on his knees, looking as relaxed as if he were at home.

"Black hair, white eyes, are you a rogue ninja from the Hyuga clan?" Old Purple hissed, assuming an attack stance.

Although he had never heard of any rogue ninja from the Hyuga main family, he could not shake the suspicion that the Hyuga clan had left behind bloodlines outside the main family and awakened the Byakugan.

But it doesn't matter. At such a young age, they dared to attack him, Old Zi. They are simply overestimating themselves. These white eyes are a gift delivered to their door.

"Hyuga Kagami." Hyuga Kagami smiled, and his body slowly floated in mid-air.

The previously restrained aura burst forth from within him in an instant.

At that moment, the Four-Tails suddenly awoke inside him and began frantically issuing alarms: Danger! Danger! Danger!

"Run, Old Purple! You're no match for him. He's no ordinary Hyuga!"

Old Purple was also shocked by the opponent's ability, but he still felt that Four-Tails was exaggerating. Even if he was not an ordinary Hyuga, he was a Jinchūriki, so how could he not have the power to fight?

However, a quarter of an hour later...

Mountains collapsed, ravines crisscrossed everywhere, green hills and clear waters were destroyed, and lava spewed everywhere.

Old Zi was cut in two, his half-body lying on the ground, barely breathing as he questioned, "Who...who are you?"

"Those who pity the Tailed Beasts and release them." After saying this, Hyuga Kagami raised his hand and unleashed the final attack, instantly turning the screens of Rōshi and the Five-Tails black.

The news of the Jinchuriki's sudden death spread quickly, but not as fast as it did with Hyuga Kagami.

It is still the Land of Earth, and it is still the Hidden Stone Village.

Han, the Five-Tails Jinchuriki, is practicing Boil Release on the outskirts of the village.

By this time, he had grown up and matured, no longer complaining, his expression resolute, and he was also more aware of his identity as a Jinchūriki.

The fear of others and the alienation of relatives and friends were the inevitable price he had to pay to become a hero, yet he had no regrets and was willing to sacrifice everything for the village.

Suddenly a figure appeared in the sky.

Han turned around, his expression suddenly turning serious: "You must be the murderer who hunts down Jinchūriki everywhere! Come on, let me see what you're capable of!"

Actually, he had just received news, but it wasn't news of the Four-Tails Jinchuriki's death. Instead, it was news of the One-Tails Jinchuriki's death sent back by a spy hidden in Sunagakure.

"As you wish," Hyuga Kagami sneered...

The Third Tsuchikage, Onoki, sensed the intense battle fluctuations and rushed to the scene, but it was too late.

He only saw a white-eyed boy turn around, smile, and drift away.

The battle was over, and the surrounding area was full of signs of destruction. The earth was cracked and ravines were crisscrossed, as if it had been struck and torn apart by a tremendous force.

Han, the Five-Tails Jinchuriki, had both his legs and arms severed, and his head was split in two diagonally. Red and white matter was scattered all over the ground, and his eyes were wide open, a gruesome sight.

Onoki struggled to suppress his anger until a nearby ANBU ninja rushed over in a panic, knelt down, and cried, "Third Hokage, Lord Roshi... he was also hunted down and killed!"

Finally, Onoki could no longer contain himself and roared with a contorted expression.

"Hyuga—! I'll get my revenge! Issue a bounty—we, Iwagakure, are offering a reward of 100 million... no, 150 million!"

At the same time, news of the successive deaths of several Jinchuriki could no longer be concealed and quickly spread throughout the ninja world. A slightly blurry portrait of Hyuga Kagami also began to circulate.

The ninja villages that have lost their Jinchuriki are searching the world for the killer, though most of them are just putting on a show.

After all, their Jinchūriki died, so how can the other Jinchūriki still be alive? That's not fair!

Their misfortunes only make them more unbalanced.

Within the territory of Dawn City in the Land of Rain, Black Zetsu, upon seeing the news, tore up the wanted poster: "Damn it, damn it, utterly despicable! Aburame Shisei, it must be you again! Why do you always have to oppose me? Wouldn't it be better if we just stayed out of each other's way and lived in peace?"

However, he forgot how he had provoked the other party in the first place.

"White Zetsu, the facial features in this drawing are too unclear. Distribute his portrait throughout the ninja world."

"Since you want to play games, then I'll play along. I'm going to dig out and eliminate all your henchmen, one by one!"

With the revelation of Hyuga Kagami's true appearance, his true identity and background were also fully exposed.

Unexpectedly, he was a ninja from a branch family of the Hyuga clan in Konoha. Digging deeper, it turned out he was also a trusted subordinate of the current Fourth Hokage.

Given this relationship, his behavior becomes somewhat intriguing.

As everyone knows, the Hyuga branch family members all have the Caged Bird Seal on their foreheads, and their lives are entirely in the hands of the Hyuga main family. How could there possibly be any rogue ninjas?

Could there really be a genius who solved the problem of the caged bird? How is that possible?

This is a forbidden technique that the Hyuga clan has controlled for over a thousand years in the branch family. If it were really that easy to break, wouldn't everyone in the Hyuga clan be able to obtain the Byakugan?

For a time, many ninja villages had different thoughts in their minds.

However, many people are more inclined to conspiracy theories, such as the Hyuga clan's betrayal, which is likely a scheme by the Fourth Hokage to weaken other ninja villages and allow Konoha to continue to dominate the ninja world.
