"What are you doing?"
Darui had a bad premonition in his heart.
Ryujiro's face showed a playful smile.
"Who knows."
Darui's face suddenly darkened.
"Hmph!"
"Stop pretending!"
Darui's eyes were deep, and his sword, imbued with lightning chakra, shone brightly with lightning.
"Ha!"
Darui slashed down with his sword, and the lightning chakra instantly burst out, ravaging the surroundings with many bolts of lightning.
Ryujiro blocked the attack with his sword, the playful smile still on his lips. For some reason, Darui felt a chill down his spine.
"Captain Darui!"
Hearing the shout from the surrounding Chunin, Darui paid no mind.
As expected, even though Ryujiro might not be as powerful as the rumors claimed, but he was still not simple to deal with.
In that case, nobody could blame him for being ruthless.
"Hey! You guys, help out!"
The moment Darui turned his head, his pupils suddenly shrank.
Splurt!
Blood splattered out, and Darui's expression twisted in pain as he spat out blood.
He looked incredulously at his village's ninjas.
"What are you all doing!"
Why were these Kumo ninjas looking at him with eyes filled with resentment, and why were some of their eyes even teary?
"You bastard!"
"You killed Captain Darui!"
"Unforgivable!"
Under the influence of Kyoka Suigetsu, in that moment, what the Kumo ninjas saw was Ryujiro stabbing Darui in the abdomen with his sword.
And the Ryujiro they saw was indeed Ryujiro. This was the terrifying power of Kyoka Suigetsu.
It could manipulate the enemies five senses, making them see what the user wished.
"What are you all talking about!"
Splurt!
Several more sharp blades pierced into Darui's stomach, and he couldn't bear it anymore, letting out a wretched scream.
One of the Kumo ninjas, who was not hypnotized, stood there with a pale face, horrified as he watched the scene unfold before him. He shouted in terror:
"Hey, you all!"
"What have you done!"
Ryujiro chuckled lightly, stepped back a few steps, and released the power of Kyoka Suigetsu on the few Kumo ninjas.
"Ah!"
Those Kumo ninjas fell to the ground in fright, looking in horror at Darui, who had several swords stuck in his abdomen.
"Why!"
"Why was it, Captain Darui?"
"Wasn't that the Konoha ninja just now?"
"Damn it!"
Splurt!
Darui again spat out blood, looking at Ryujiro with terrified eyes.
"Genjutsu."
"When did you use the Genjutsu?"
Ryujiro looked calmly at the distressed Darui.
"You're asking the wrong question."
"When did you think I wasn't using Genjutsu?"
"From the moment I drew my sword, everything was under my control."
Could it be!
It was at that moment!
"Forget it, nothing matters anymore."
"With your injuries, you won't last long."
"But don't worry, your subordinates will accompany you."
Darui gritted his teeth, his face full of unwillingness. He dropped his blade and quickly formed hand seals.
"Lightning Release: Black Panther!"
A black, panther-shaped lightning erupted from Darui, ravaging the surroundings.
The black lightning stormed towards Ryujiro, and the ground was etched with black lightning patterns.
Bakudo No. 81: Danku!
As Ryujiro's words fell, a near-transparent defensive wall rose up, and the black, panther-shaped lightning vanished upon collision.
"What was that just now?!"
"Using a ninjutsu without any hand seal?"
Darui gradually lost consciousness, his body uncontrollably leaning backward.
Damn it.
Am I really going to die here?
Darui fell to the ground, lifeless.
"Captain Darui!"
Some of the Kumo ninjas, driven by rage, charged at Ryujiro.
In just three seconds, those Kumo ninjas had no idea when Ryujiro had circled behind them.
Ryujiro's Zanpakutō was stained with blood. With a forceful shake, the blood dripped to the ground.
Splurt! Splurt!
The remaining Kumo ninjas were instantly killed, their gory wounds shocking to behold.
They looked at Ryujiro in terror, using their last bit of strength to utter a word.
"Monster."
The Kumo squad was annihilated!
Looking at the lingering souls, Ryujiro absorbed them into the Hogyoku.
Just a few souls like these had no significant effect. In fact, even a Gillian-level hollow was not much meaningful to Ryujiro.
What he sought was a Vasto Lorde, but after all, this wasn't the world of Bleach; there was no Hueco Mundo in this world.
Creating a Vasto Lorde was difficult in this world.
The right hand man of the Raikage, huh?
No one knew who killed Darui and his team, but he could already imagine the Fourth Raikage's rage upon learning of this.
In fact, there was another place in this world that Ryujiro was quite interested in, and that was the ancient kingdom of Roran.
The legendary vast energy of the Ryumyaku was indeed something Ryujiro was concerned about.
The key point was...
The power of the Ryumyaku could send Ryujiro back in time. If he returned to the past...
Would there be another version of himself in the past ninja world?
Nothing much had happened in Konoha either; it was just Hinata...
Before leaving, he had told Hinata that he would be away for a while, and apart from Hinata, no one knew about the shadow clone frequently appearing in the Hyuga clan.
Should I go back? I've been out for over a month already.
If the power of the Ryumyaku unexpectedly sends him to the past, Ryujiro wouldn't know how long it would take.
Never mind, let's go back to Konoha.
---
Hyuga Clan in Konoha.
During the days Ryujiro was away, Hinata felt an emptiness in her heart, as if she had lost something.
Although she had the company of his shadow clone, Hinata knew that a shadow clone was just a shadow clone and not the real Ryujiro.
Ryujiro-kun, it's almost two months. When will you come back?
Hinata, I miss you so much.
At this moment, Ryujiro's shadow clone pushed the door open and entered.
"Hinata, the real body is back."
After saying this, the shadow clone Ryujiro turned into a wisp of smoke and disappeared in the room.
Hinata was stunned for a moment, then ran out barefoot without caring about putting on shoes.
At the gate of the Hyuga compound, Hinata looked around anxiously and finally saw that familiar figure.
Her eyes instantly turned red, and she ran towards that familiar figure.
The girl threw herself into Ryujiro's arms.
Hinata hugged Ryujiro tightly and murmured softly, "Ryujiro-kun, I missed you so much."
Ryujiro was taken aback for a moment, then a smile appeared on his face as he gently patted Hinata's head.
He could feel the girl's deep longing for him.
