Chapter – 620 Kuroto vs Uchiha: End

Seeing the course of the battle, Hizashi also put away all his worries about Kuroto and paid attention to Kuroto's fighting style which is a combination of all the fighting styles he has ever seen out there.

Whenever Hyuga Shinobis fight, they would subconsciously take the fighting stance of the Gentle Fist that they have practiced for years and use the very same Gentle Fist Taijutsu routine to deal with all their enemies, this method generally works in the favor of Hyuga Clansmen because of the perfection of Gentle Fist Taijutsu that the Hyuga Clan has achieved over the course of several centuries…

But precisely because of this so-called 'perfection' of the Gentle-Fist Taijutsu, the Hyuga Clan has made Gentle-Fist Taijutsu their only fighting style… Although it works most of the time, however, when the upper limit of the enemy's strength increases beyond what Gentle Fist Taijutsu can handle, the Hyuga Clan becomes helpless.

Before this, Hizashi was always confused and was unable to figure it out…

The prestige of the Uchiha Clan is growing day by day; however, the prestige of the Hyuga Clan is still the same as before, and in fact, it is declining year by year…Hizashi can't see a way to lead the clan forward, so all he could do was helplessly spin in circles that were drawn by the ancestors of the Hyuga Clan with no way out…

Because of his upbringing, even he never questioned the traditions of the Hyuga Clan and accepted things as it is, and even if he focused his attention on something it was on the Byakugan…

Hizashi always wondered if Byakugan could also evolve just like Sharingan, perhaps the Hyuga Clan might have also been like the Uchiha Clan… and this thought of his made him ignore one very important thing…

However today, after watching Kuroto's battle against the Uchiha Jonins, he faintly understood it.

What's limiting the Hyuga Clan is not the Byakugan, but the Hyuga Clan's method of using the Byakugan.

Hyuga Clan has limited itself to using Byakugan in conjunction with Gentle Fist Taijutsu, the Uchiha Clan has done no such thing, each of their Shinobi explores his own path and that's probably the reason why the Uchiha Clan is developing, while the Hyuga Clan has stagnated.

The Hyuga Clan has caged itself, and its growth with its perfection…

As you know, if someone is given everything perfectly from birth, then the spirit of exploring just vanishes and that is how the Hyuga Clan has started to decline.

'Sigh… the answer was always in front of me, and yet I could not see it clearly up until now…' sighed Hizashi as he looked at Kuroto with a complicated expression.

…

On the battlefield.

Smash!

With a low horizontal kick, Kuroto knocked out the seventh Uchiha Jonin on the ground who flew into the air and then soon collapsed on the ground and fainted.

With the seventh Uchiha knocked out, Kuroto threw him on the pile of unconscious Uchihas that were gathered a little far away, and muttered, "That takes care of the seventh guy… Now then…" then looked in the direction of the last Uchiha who has crouched not too far away and bleeding from the corner of his mouth.

"Impossible! This is impossible! This can't happen!"

Kuroto turned around and while slowly walking towards him, he asked curiously, "What's impossible?"

The last Uchiha looked at Kuroto with a horrified expression and as he noticed Kuroto walking towards him, he stumbled backward in an attempt to retreat and shouted, "St… stay away from me!"

No way, he couldn't help it, he witnessed everything with his very own eyes!

Right before his very eyes, Kuroto used some sort of strange technique to deal with the remaining Uchiha Clansmen… He had never seen such a strange movement technique, but he could feel that it is a very high-end technique!

Kuroto chuckled lightly, and while continuing to walk forward he asked with a playful grin, "What did you just say? I didn't hear it clearly, care to repeat it? Are you asking me to spare you? Of course, I can let you go if you give up… and repent!"

Feeling the mockery in Kuroto's tone, the last Uchiha was angered, he stood up and shouted, "Never! I am from the proud and noble Uchiha Clan… no matter what, I will never give up!"

As soon as his words landed, the last Uchiha felt a sharp pain on the back of his neck, and the very next moment his eyelids started to feel heavy.

Poof…

At the same time, the Kuroto standing before him exploded into a cloud of white smoke and disappeared…

Understanding that the Hyuga Kuroto standing before him was nothing more than a Shadow Clone, the last Uchiha was taken aback, and upon realizing that the other party dealt with him so easily, he couldn't but curse, "Damn you! When did you weave hand signs for the Shadow Clone Jutsu!?"

But this doubt of his was never to be answered as he soon fell unconscious and collapsed on the ground with an unwilling expression!

After dealing with the last Uchiha, Kuroto bent over, picked him up by his collar, and threw him over the pile of unconscious Uchihas.

Looking at the pile of unconscious Uchiha Jonin, the Hyuga Clansmen on the streets were shocked and opened their mouths with an incredulous expression, as if, as if this whole scene before their eyes was nothing but a dream!

The fierce battle that everyone had expected and was prepared for did not happen, it was just a unilateral slaughter by Kuroto using physical combat and clever tactics.

Yui looked at Kuroto with a sluggish expression, "Unknowingly, Kuroto-kun has already become so strong? Back when we were children, he couldn't even defeat me!"

No matter what, Yui was very happy that Kuroto was safe…

Different from Yui, Neji looked at Kuroto with admiration and thought to himself with rekindled hope, 'Sensei is really the strongest in the entire Hyuga Clan, he defeated so many Jonins of the Uchiha Clan so easily!

Sensei told me that I shouldn't worry about whether Uchiha Clan is superior or not until I reach his level, so I shouldn't worry about it and only focus on training myself!

Besides, Sensei could defeat so many of them alone, this means that the Uchiha Clan is not invincible! Just wait Sasuke, I will prove that the Hyuga Clan is not inferior to the Uchiha Clan!'

At the same time, Hiashi stared at Kuroto deeply.

The strength of Kuroto has far exceeded his expectations, and from what he could see, Kuroto hasn't even shown all his strength here.

Others may not have noticed it or have forgotten to pay attention to that point, but Hiashi clearly noticed that during the entire battle against the eight Uchiha Jonin, Kuroto didn't even activate his Byakugan!

'You can deal with eight Jonins without even using the Byakugan or Gentle Fist… Hyuga Kuroto, sometimes you really scare me!' with a sigh, Hiashi also began to recall the advice that Kuroto gave a few years ago.

While everyone was relieved, suddenly, the first Uchiha who was kicked atop the roof of a house by Kuroto shook his head and stood up with a dizzy expression.

Some of the Hyuga Clansmen immediately noticed him, and pointed at him…

Kuroto who was standing in the crowd, turned his head and glanced at him with a surprised expression, 'He woke up this early? This is surprising…'

In the beginning, when Kuroto kicked him atop the roof of a house, Kuroto wasn't least merciful… It stands to reason that the other party should have remained unconscious for at least one-two hour… but unexpectedly, he regained consciousness so quickly…

Feeling everyone's gazes on him, and looking at the pile of unconscious Uchiha Jonins on the ground, the first Uchiha was angered, and this anger of his further boiled when he recalled the embarrassing experience of being knocked out with just a single kick…

Focusing his attention on Kuroto, the first Uchiha shouted, "Hyuga Kuroto! I will kill you with my own hands!"

As he said so, his chakra flared and he pounced on Kuroto in a sonic boom!

Boom!

"So strong!"

Listening to the sonic boom in the air generated by the first Uchiha, the weaker members of the Hyuga Clan quickly covered their ears, retreated backward, and closed their eyes.

At the same time, they all sighed deeply…

Because this scene reminded them of the fact that the ones who were fighting Kuroto were all Jonin-level Shinobi of the Uchiha clan, which means that each of them is extremely strong, reaching the peak one percent of Konoha and the Shinobi World!

Those who could still react worriedly looked at Kuroto who was still standing in the center of the crowd.

From the fact that Kuroto was standing still, they were not sure if Kuroto would be able to react… Although they have confidence in Kuroto, they were worried nonetheless because the first Uchiha seems to be coming towards Kuroto with killing intent, and yet, Kuroto has not given any reaction up until now.

In the mix of sonic boom and shockwave, the first Uchiha rushed in front of Kuroto.

Huge pressure swept over, prompting the timid ones to shut their eyes in panic, afraid of witnessing Kuroto's death…

However, what everyone expected did not happen, there was no earth-shattering collision, and even the sonic boom and the shock waves brought by the first Uchiha came to an abrupt end.

Confused, everyone opened their eyes nervously… And when they did, all they saw was Kuroto holding the first Uchiha by the neck without any change in his expression, and muttered with a sigh, "Huh… he was quite fast… but that's it!" then without further ado, he knocked out the first Uchiha and threw him on the pile of unconscious Uchihas, "That takes care of all of them!"
