With the formidable aura of Kazuhiko's Reiatsu fully unleashed, it appeared as if they were burdened with heavy backpacks. In stark contrast, Kazuhiko strolled through the scene like a leisurely walk in a garden.
Despite the intense environment, a few Anbu ninjas decided to make a final gamble. Most of them were seasoned warriors who had faced numerous battles. While Kazuhiko engaged with the Sarutobi members, they turned their backs to confront the situation.
This group possessed rich combat experience, making them resistant to the prevailing coercion. Their ability to coordinate in battle was exceptional, and with determined gazes exchanged, they forged ahead.
In an instant, a barrage of a hundred kunai, and shuriken raced towards Kazuhiko. The leading ninja, their team captain, swiftly performed a hand seal, exclaiming, "Swish! Shuriken Shadow Clone Technique!"
Suddenly, the thrown shuriken multiplied, enveloping Kazuhiko from all directions in a storm of blades.
Witnessing the approaching weapons, Kazuhiko glanced at them, prompting a change in their expression. In an instant, they turned their back to the onslaught.
Perplexed, the captain mused, "What's going on? They clearly saw it!" But as he observed, the churning sea of weapons continued its approach. Kazuhiko, with their back turned and a bloodthirsty glint in their eyes, seemed unfazed.
"Do you think you can escape? Who gave you the audacity to underestimate us?"
"Death to the Uzumaki clan!!!"
In the pupils of Kazuhiko, a pair of purple Rinnegan manifested instantly. Mysterious ripples spread within the pupils, resembling a constant flow. Around the black pupil, six purple hook jade rotated.
"Universal Push!"
In the next moment, all the hidden weapons were suspended mid-air, halted by an unseen force. The onlookers stared in shock, unable to comprehend the spectacle before them.
"This... What kind of ninjutsu is this?!"
"What power is this? How can it suspend our hidden weapons directly!?"
"Is this Magnet Style of the Third Kazekage?"
If it were Kazuhiko escaping or using other ninjutsu to evade the attacking hidden weapons, they might not be as surprised. However, the hidden weapons stopped around him, as if controlled by an unseen force.
This unprecedented power threw them into immediate panic. Among the limited information they had, only the Third Kazekage possessed similar abilities.
Without further contemplation, the hidden weapons surrounding Kazuhiko suddenly reversed their course, flying back at the assailants intact.
"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! ..."
Before they could process the situation, an array of hidden weapons overwhelmed them. The captain on the side drew his Short Sword, attempting to dodge and counter the attacking hidden weapons.
Kazuhiko turned to them, declaring, "Universal Pull!" Simultaneously, the power of the Rinnegan surged within him.
"Understand that Universal Pull isn't just about controlling weapons!"
In an instant, they found themselves frozen in place, as if an invisible force held them immobile. The captain, who was about to swing the Short Sword, couldn't move even a centimeter.
Wide-eyed and helpless, they faced the oncoming hidden weapons, unable to evade. Their hearts filled with despair.
"No!"
"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!"
Upon turning around, they resembled hedgehogs, bodies pierced by countless kunai and shuriken, blood staining the ground red.
"What power is this?!"
With doubt and fear, they fell to the ground. Kazuhiko turned towards the Sarutobi clansmen, who were attempting to escape.
Having witnessed the gruesome scene, they stared at Kazuhiko in horror, their eyes reflecting the mysterious power.
"Did you witness that?"
Kazuhiko spoke softly, as if questioning both them and himself.
"There's no other choice but to eliminate all of you..."
Having said that, he raised his right hand, wasting no time. "Biubiubiu!"
Under the compelling force of Kazuhiko and the golden laser, they stood motionless, resembling puppets.
"No! No! No!"
Their lips moved slightly, attempting to utter something, but in the end, they faced their demise with wide eyes and terror.
Kazuhiko channeled chakra, concealed his Rinnegan, and turned to see all the Anbu ninjas and Sarutobi individuals who had attacked him lying defeated on the ground.
Except for a few Anbu ninjas who succumbed to his Finger Pistol technique and had already fallen unconscious, blood was scattered everywhere. If not rescued promptly, their lives might be at stake.
Kazuhiko retraced his steps slowly, unhurriedly.
Responding to the words of Kazuhiko, the Uzumaki clan members swiftly dealt with those attempting to frame them, delivering a barrage of punches.
In this moment, Sarutobi Shinnosuke collapsed to the ground like a spilled gourd, incapacitated.
Observing the scene unfold, they rose, watching how Kazuhiko would conclude the battle.
Soon, they were astonished as Kazuhiko effortlessly dispatched the adversaries, as though disposing of chickens and dogs.
A moment of concern arose when Anbu ninjas discreetly hurled numerous hidden weapons at them.
Yet, at the next instant, all the projectiles hung mid-air, retracing their trajectory, turning each attacker into a hedgehog.
They recognized this as the mysterious power of Kazuhiko and dared not inquire further. Their admiration for him deepened, especially noticing that despite all the bloodshed, Kazuhiko's white robes remained unstained.
Approaching Satoshi, who now lay defeated after experiencing a mix of fear and anger, Kazuhiko, despite having killed many, instilled fear in his eyes. Facing his imminent demise, his eyes bloodshot, Satoshi slumped on the floor, resembling a defeated dog.
Struggling to control his fear, he almost hysterically voiced his doubts as Kazuhiko approached, "Why? Why be so merciless? You've killed so many of us. Aren't you afraid Konoha will sever ties with you? Aren't you afraid?"
Kazuhiko leaned over, looking into Satoshi's eyes, "Because our original plan was to sever ties with Konoha."
With those words, a laser flashed across Kazuhiko's fingertips, sealing Sarutobi's fate.
The once lively open space now lay silent, save for the Uzumaki clan members, surrounded by the lifeless bodies.
Kazuhiko turned his gaze to the distance, where the other Anbu members hid. Yet, to him, their presence was no different from standing directly beside him.
"Anbu, come out and clean up the mess!"
