Seeing so many elders die so quickly, the Hyuga Elder had no choice but to take action, even though Jiryoku's taijutsu was his weakest ability. However, that was according to Jiryoku himself, as he was far superior to any of the living members of the Hyuga clan. He knew what awaited him and the others here: death. But he wanted to die with dignity.
The Hyuga Elder leaped into action, his chakra-infused hand taking the form of a majestic guardian lion. With remarkable speed, he executed the Gentle Step Twin Lion Fists technique, launching a fierce assault on Jiryoku. As their palms collided, the sheer force created a web of cracks, shattering the very ground beneath them.
Retreating momentarily, the Hyuga Elder seized the opportunity to unleash the Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four Palms technique.The combination of this technique with the Gentle Step Twin Lion Fistsintensified his onslaught, amplifying its potency.
Undeterred, Jiryoku enveloped his hands in a radiant, purple Armament Haki. With astonishing precision, he effortlessly deflected the Hyuga Elder's relentless attacks. Each clash between their palms propelled the elder backward, leaving deep crevices in the battlefield.
Despite his valiant efforts, the Hyuga Elder struggled to inflict any substantial damage on Jiryoku, as his strength waned. Exhausted and nearing his limit, he found himself defenseless as Jiryoku unleashed a relentless barrage of palm strikes. Initially managing to deflect a few, the elder eventually succumbed to the overwhelming onslaught. The thunderous impact of Jiryoku's strikes ravaged his body, causing fatal internal injuries that ultimately claimed his life.
Then Jiryoku turned around and said, "From the very beginning, I told you that no one can leave here, right?" Three elders were lying on the ground. They witnessed the Hyuga Elder's futile fight against Jiryoku and realized that defeating Jiryoku was impossible. Seeing the fight between Jiryoku and the Hyuga Elder as an opportunity, they attempted to flee. However, when they were about 50 meters away from Jiryoku, they suddenly felt an intense weight, rendering them unable to stand, and they eventually collapsed to the ground.
"As you broke the rules I set, you are not needed," said Jiryoku. When his words fell, he waved his hand in an arc, and two wind slashes cut the bodies of the two elders in half. He could have just crushed them with gravity, but he needed something from all of them, so he couldn't afford to destroy the corpses of any Hyuga, especially their faces.
After that, there was no one strong enough to even fight Jiryoku for one round, given these conditions. One by one, members of the Hyuga Clan fell to the ground. Among these dead Hyuga ninja, some were from the branch family and remained loyal to Hyuga Tanai.
Finally, only Jiryoku remained standing in the middle, surrounded by the corpses of Hyuga clan members. Obviously, Hyuga Tanai and his son were purposefully left alive by Jiryoku.
Jiryoku stepped in front of Tanai's son and said, "You like to let others feel pain and enjoy it, right? Then I will also let you experience it."
After Jiryoku's voice fell, he raised his hand towards the broken walls, and four rods came flying towards him. He redirected them towards Tanai's son, pinning him to the ground. Jiryoku covered his hand with Armament Haki and formed a small "Wind Release: Rasenshuriken," which he threw towards Tanai's son. As the Rasenshuriken came near Tanai's son, Jiryoku increased gravity, causing the speed of the Wind Release: Rasenshuriken to become extremely slow. It first hit Tanai's son's leg, tearing it with countless wind needles, and continued moving upwards.
Hearing the scream of agony coming from Tanai's son, Jiryoku said, "It seems that sometimes letting your inner demons come out is really satisfying."
After saying this, he went and gouged out Tanai's son's Byakugan.
"What are you trying to do by taking my son's eye?" said Hyuga Tanai, while Jiryoku's actions caused Tanai's son to scream even louder.
"You will also have the same fate," said Jiryoku in a cold voice.
"Wait…" Tanai wanted to say something, but before he could finish, his head was severed.
"So much nonsense from a dying person," said Jiryoku disdainfully.
After that, he gouged out every last Byakugan from every fallen Hyuga clan member, and the system recorded it as task progress.
After completing all of this, Jiryoku took some flowers from the garden just a few meters away from him and went to the cemetery of the Hyuga clan where his mother and father were buried. After cleaning their graves with his own hands (he could have used wind to clean the grave, but he chose not to), he placed the flowers on top.
"Sorry for not visiting you both for such a long time, but the circumstances prevented me from doing so," Jiryoku said.
"I have avenged you, mother. Now you can rest in peace, as your murderers are dead," Jiryoku assured.
"And father, today I will avenge you too. Danzo will not live to see another day," Jiryoku declared.
After conveying these messages to his mother and father, he bowed to both of their graves and said, "Thank you for giving me this life." He then left the cemetery and finally exited the Hyuga Clan compound. However, as soon as he stepped out of the compound, he 'saw' standing in front of him one of the Sannin, Jiraiya. Kakashi, Might Guy, and other Jonin and Elite Jonin were with him.
