Chapter – 297 You are Pathetic, aren’t you?

Glancing at the Hyuga Ninja who has lost his breath in just one punch, Shinno clenched his fist, feeling the strength his body contained, he smiled in ecstasy, "This is the perfect body!"

Shinno felt the changes within his body and felt that his current body contained endless power, even just a casual punch can exert a terrifying level of power to the extent that it can kill a Hyuga Chunin with little ease, such a thing was completely unimaginable in the past.

Moreover, the amount of Chakra he had access to also felt endless, like… like an endless sea, and Shinno can't help but marvel at this, "So this what it feels to be like to be a Jinchuriki!"

At this time, another Hyuga Chunin, who was responsible for the evacuation of the villagers found out Shinno and asked vigilantly, "Just what are you do… in… g… h… e…. r-…?"

The Hyuga Chunin did not get to finish his words, as a punch in the chest stopped his words midway.

His eyes bulged, body arched backward, the sound of ribs cracking was clearly heard, and saliva and blood were coughed out by him… And the next moment he collapsed on the ground, he tried to speak but no sound came out.

Shinno smiled and then proceeded forward, completely ignoring the two dead Hyuga ninjas.

With the previous punch, Shinno has damaged the heart and lungs of the Hyuga Chunin, a result causing internal bleeding and lack of air in his lungs, even he did not receive emergency medical treatment within 10 seconds, then he would die without any question.

Walking forward, Shinno focused on the exact location from where he felt the power of Miko resonating with Moryo sealed inside him.

Finding it, Shinno slowly walked forward and soon arrived near the house of Hyuga Kuroto.

Looking forwards, Shinno saw that a Kunoichi, a little girl, and a normal human carrying bow and arrow were running somewhere, possibly towards the emergency shelter that the other shinobi were also going towards.

Shinno chuckled, and immediately exerted strength in his leg, and jumped forward, crushing the floor below his feet, and took a high leap into the air.

And traveling at fast speed, he soon covered up the distance between them and landed in front of the three while crushing the road below his feet with an exploding sound.

Boom…

The sudden appearance of this person immediately alerted Hyuga Yui, Shion, and Taruho.

Yui immediately stood before Shion and Taruho, with her Byakugan activated, took her battle stance, and asked vigilantly, "Who are you?"

Although Shion has never personally seen Shinno, because of her intuition and disposition as a Miko, she felt resonance with the Moryo sealed within Shinno and also had an innate resistance, fear, and disgust towards Shinno.

Taruho drew out his bow and arrow and guarded the shivering Shion.

Shinno did not look at the Hyuga Kunoichi, his gaze was directed towards the young girl shivering at the back, and he smiled contemptuously.

Similar to how Miko can sense Moryo, so can Moryo sense Miko, and Shinno being the current Jinchuriki of Moryo, he can obviously sense what Moryo can sense. So, with just a glance he knew that the little girl shivering at the back of these two soon-to-be-dead people is his target, even if he has never seen the little girl before.

After confirming his target, Shinno transferred his gaze towards the young Kunoichi who protected the little Miko and observed her eyes and battle stance.

Maybe it was because he felt that he held the situation in the palm of his hand, so Shinno was in a good mood, and felt like playing a bit, "Oh, another Hyuga, a Kunoichi at that, say now that I think about it I want to ask you something, do you know of someone with the name Hyuga Kuroto? He should be about the same age as you, I suppose."

'Is he… is he after Kuroto-Kun?" – Yui's gaze immediately changed, from a vigilant look to a fierce one, and she immediately spoke with a gloomy and murderous tone, "What do you want with him!?"

Shinno didn't seem to notice the Hyuga Kunoichi's dark tone, or maybe even if he noticed, he didn't seem to care, and chuckled, "Want something from him? No, no, you misunderstand me, I am not interested in some lowly Hyuga of the Branch Division, who is nothing more than a slave to his rotten clan, the reason I am asking about him is that I worked with him a few years ago, it was part of a mission that he took a few years ago, along with Uchiha Itachi, but anyway it doesn't really matter, I am here for Miko's daughter." – Speaking so, Shinno took a step forward, the mere thought of swallowing the power of Miko and become an existence beyond the level of Bijuu, reaching the realm of Super Kage level made Shinno extremely excited.

Taruho immediately drew an arrow, and warned, "Stop, don't take a single step forward!"

But Shinno completely ignored Taruho's warning, will Shinno even be deterred by mere bow and arrow?

Shaking his head with a chuckle, Shinno did not even glance at Taruho and took another step forward.

Taruho did not speak anything but directly shot the arrow.

Shinno still did not bother to look towards the coming arrow, and merely tilted his head, to dodge and said, "Don't put unnecessary resistance, it will only make things difficult for you, accept your destiny!"

Yui has already observed Shinno's state, she can see extremely dark and evil chakra surging like a volcano within Shinno, she has never seen something like that, or maybe she has, the Kyuubi, but that was only from a distance, but now was different.

Was she scared? Well yeah… anyone would be! But she has no intention of running!

Why? Firstly, this person is after Shion, the little girl is under Kuroto-Kun's protection, and since, Kuroto-Kun has gone to the Land of Demons to check the state of Shion's mother, so Yui must protect Shion, this is her responsibility as Kuroto-Kun's significant other.

And secondly, this person dared to mention Kuroto-Kun, which means that he will also target Kuroto-Kun if left alone, and how can she let such a thing happen, she knows that Kuroto-Kun is strong and won't be defeated so easily, but this does not mean that she will simply walk away knowing that this person will sooner or later go after the person she loves more than anything in the world!

Yui did not look back and said to Taruho, "Taruho-san, take Shion-chan and leave, I'll hold him!"

Shinno raised his eyebrow, and laughed, "You think you can stop me?" – and immediately his figure flashed and approached Yui.

His speed was extremely fast and his fist was already positioned to directly kill the Hyuga Kunoichi with just one punch.

"Eight Trigrams Vacuum Palm!"

However, his fist did not connect with the Hyuga Kunoichi, as a high-pressured air thrust suddenly stopped him mid-way and then blew him with a tremendous force before he even realized that he was hit.

Blown away by this sudden attack, Shinno severely crashed to the sidewall, causing it to immediately collapse.

"Body Revival Technique!"

As the dust settled, Shinno got up and dusted himself, as his muscles wiggled, bulged, and strengthened, to be honest, he was somewhat surprised, he did not think that any random Kunoichi would be able to do so.

But he wasn't really worried, it only made this hunt a bit more interesting.

After getting up, and dusting himself, Shinno again rushed towards the young Hyuga Kunoichi.

Yui did not move from her position, as the enemy came closer to her, suddenly two metal chakrams slid down from the sleeves of her Kimono and were held by her in both of her hands.

The moment, Shinno's fist was again about to hit her, she leaned her head back, and bent her back backward, her body formed a D-shape, and using both her hands, she lifted both her legs, kicked Shinno on the lower chin with her left leg, then using the same momentum she did a flip and threw both Chakram towards Shinno, one after another.

Shinno who was sent backward with the kick in the chin immediately noticed two chakrams that were spinning at a very high speed coming towards him, and he immediately drew out Kunai to deflect the two spinning Chakram.

While he tried to deflect the two Chakram, the trajectory of both the chakram changed, as a thin metal wire was connected to both of them and it allowed Yui to control their trajectories. So, both the Kunai were cut, and along with it, both of his arms were also cut.

"Body Revival Technique!"

With this, the battle should have come to an end, but actually, it did not, Shinno did not seem to care about his severed arms, and rushed towards Yui. While he rushed towards her, the tissues around his severed arm wiggled and suddenly started to expand, and started growing, and instantly they had already regenerated.

Yui was shocked seeing such a scene, "Regenerating severed arms?"

However shocked Yui may have been, this did not affect her reactions as a taijutsu battle broke out between Shinno and Yui.

Each of Yui's attacks caused internal damage to Shinno, but for some reason, all of them continued to be healed. It seemed as if Shinno was not suffering any injury. And as the battle progressed, Yui's advantage started to fall, and Shinno started to gain the upper hand.

"Revival Fist!" – Shinno gathered Dark Chakra into both his hands and unleashed a powerful shockwave towards Yui.

Yui was horrified and she had no confidence to be able to dodge this pressured shockwave that would cause tremendous internal damage.

"Yui onee-chan!" – Shion who was not far away exclaimed, but it didn't seem that her scream would have much effect.

As Shinno's fists approached Yui, suddenly a shadow leaped down the street at an extremely fast speed, grabbed Yui, who was not able to move much, and disappeared.

Boom…!

And the Dark Chakra that exploded from Shinno's fist caused a loud explosion.

As the dust settled, the view became clear, Shinno frowned because he didn't see the collapsed figure of the Hyuga Kunoichi.

At this time, a female voice reached Shinno's ears, "Hey you, what is your name??"

"Hyuga… Hyuga Yui!" – answered Yui, who was held in the arms of this Kunoichi.

"So, Yui-san, do you think you will be able to stand?" – asked the Kunoichi.

Yui immediately nodded, "Yes… Yes, I am able to stand."

The Kunoichi nodded and helped Yui stand on her feet.

Then she turned to the teenager with bow and arrow in his hand, and asked: "What is your name kid?"

"Taruho." – answered the boy.

Yui nodded and said, "Can I trust you to escort the little girl and this injured Kunoichi here, to the evacuation center?" – asked the Kunoichi who was dressed in black Kunoichi vest with an Uchiha Clan crest in the back.

"But… but what about him?" – questioned Taruho.

"Don't worry about him, he won't be hindering you!" – answered the Kunoichi.

Taruho thought for a moment and nodded, "Alright."

The Kunoichi nodded, "Good, now when I signal the three of you to go, then go!"

"You!" – Shinno frowned when he saw the Kunoichi, as she was none other than Uchiha Tsukihi!

Hearing Shinno's shout, Uchiha Tsukihi turned and looked at him with a murderous gaze.

If Uchiha Tsukihi (or Kuroto) arrived here even a moment late then Yui would have been seriously injured by Shinno and thinking so Tsukihi's heart was almost raised to her throat.

Shinno didn't seem to care about Tsukihi's gaze and asked with an irritated expression, "Why are you obstructing me Uchiha Tsukihi?"

Tsukihi did not answer, but leaped forward slightly, and said to Taruho, Shion, and Yui, "Now go, leave him to me."

Hyuga Yui looked up and down at Uchiha Tsukihi.

Her intuition is telling her that this Uchiha Kunoichi is quite familiar, but even after trying to remember as to who she is, Yui was sure that she has never seen her or heard the name, not personally, not from someone else, as such Yui asked with a frown, "Who are you?"

Uchiha Tsukihi's gaze did not shift from Shinno, as she replied to Yui, "It does not matter who I am, what matters is that the three of you have to get out of here before this place becomes a battlefield, remember the task that you were entrusted with and focus on that objective, leave him to me!"

'Yui, I will be going to the Land of Demons, please try to protect Shion in my absence.' – was what Kuroto-Kun asked her to do.

From her battle with the enemy, Yui has come to realize that this person uses some unknown Jutsu which allows him to regenerate all his injuries, again and again, therefore, it would be hard for her to kill him so easily.

'And this Kunoichi seems to know Shinno and is confident to hold him back to secure a retreat for them, so there is a possibility that she has some way to deal with his regenerative abilities, so it's best that she deals with him.' – Thinking so, Yui did not hesitate any longer, and led Shion and Taruho away from here.

Shinno did not blindly chase after the three, but asked, "I am going to ask this once again, why are you obstructing me Uchiha Tsukihi!?"

Tsukihi said, casually "Because I feel like it. But you can think of this as a payback for sending Oto Yumie after me."

Shinno frowned, and he didn't really have an answer here, because even if he says that Oto Yumie came after her on her own accord, it wouldn't be believable as Oto Yumie was introduced as his subordinate.

Since he did not have any answer here, Shinno said coldly, "I understand, but I will say this if you have even slight attachment to your life, then you would better step aside because I will not spare your life just because you are Uchiha Shinichi's subordinate!"

Uchiha Tsukihi giggled, and did exactly the opposite of what Shinno asked her to do, instead of stepping aside, she blocked Shinno, started walking forward, as well as held the Katana at her waist.

Seeing that Uchiha Tsukihi does not have any intention to follow his words, and the fact that this bitch completely ignored his warnings, Shinno shouted in rage, "How dare you look down on me? Damn Uchiha bitch so proud of your bloodline? I will show you today what real power is!"

With that, Shinno let out a loud scream, instantly, dense blackish-violet chakra vapor, visible to the naked eye burst out of his body.

Under the influence of these chakra vapors, the already bulging muscles of Shinno further wiggled, bulged, and strengthened.

"Hahahaha…" – with a frantic laugh, Shinno shouted, "Do you see this, this is real power, real strength… you Uchiha should be ashamed of yourselves, always relying on the power of Kekkei Genkai!"

Tsukihi's expression shrank.

At this time, the chakra reaction on Shinno's body was extremely strong and dark, giving off a feeling that she stood in the presence of a full-fledged Bijuu class being.

'Damn, fighting him without Ryuumyaku will be extremely tough, not to mention that I can't openly reveal my Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan… this battle will be extremely-extremely tough! I have to play this out with wit instead of pure brawn' – thought Tsukihi.

Suddenly Tsukihi said, "Is that the best you can do? Well, I am not surprised, Shinichi-sama did say that you are the second weakest in the organization, just after Zetsu who specializes in collecting intelligence, isn't that right?"

Shinno chuckled, and just as he was about to answer something unexpected happened.

Whoosh… pierce…

Suddenly there was a sound of something breaking past the speed of sound which reached Shinno's ears, and then the next thing he understood was that something pierced his chest from the back.

Shocked at this sudden change, Shinno looked at his back and found an Uchiha Tsukihi standing at his back, with her Sharingan activated.

Shinno was confused, he looked at his front only to see that nothing stood in front of him.

Shinno was stunned for a moment and reacted, "Genjutsu…?"

Uchiha Tsukihi giggled in a mocking tone, "Sure enough, just as Shinichi-sama said, you are pathetic, aren't you?"
