Konoha Against Konoha

"Garouga!." The twin-headed wolf roared and bit Kenta with its bloody mouth. It was clear that Kiba and Akamaru were determined to kill Kenta and willing to risk their lives. If they got hit by the Eight Trigrams 64 Palms, they would only suffer some injuries and got their chakra flow blocked. However, if Kenta was bitten by them, he would be dead. Obviously, Kiba had inherited the ruthlessness of the beast in the jungle. Whoever was more ruthless would win.

Kenta was different. He did not want to risk his own life to win the battle. He was just trying to stall Kiba.

Kenta immediately counterattacked and dodged to the left. This move would spell tragedy for him. The difference in strength between the two sides was not too obvious. As the saying goes, 'the brave win if two people meet on a narrow road'. Kiba was determined to kill his enemy without any scruples. However, Kenta was more evasive. The difference in their resolve was clear.

"You've fallen into a trap, Garouga!." Although Kiba had inherited the ferocity of a wild beast during battle, he himself was a human. Of course, he also had the wisdom of a human.

He was only doing this because he was sure that Kenta wouldn't dare to risk his life against him. If the opposite were the case, Kiba had nothing to lose. He would immediately be able to seize the opportunity if he was right, though.

"Oh no, Eight Trigrams Palms Revolving Heaven!" Kenta's expression changed greatly. A trace of anger flashed in his eyes. He did not expect that he had been tricked. So he did not intend to hold back anymore. He no longer cared who the other party was and finally went for the kill.

"Rumble!"

Kenta's rotation held the Garouga for a while. The atmosphere around them became chaotic, and the ground below exploded, creating a huge pit. After the two released their ultimate moves simultaneously, the result was decided. The huge twin-headed wolf took a few steps back while Kenta was sent flying for around 50 meters.

"Aaaaah!!" Suddenly, a pained cry rang out, causing Kiba, who had originally planned to pursue Kenta, to look over immediately. He discovered that Hinata had been surrounded and attacked by four people. Now, she was injured, and her situation was precarious.

"Damn it, Garouga!" Even if Kiba's strength had increased a lot now, such a powerful jutsu like the Garouga consumed a lot of energy to use. He couldn't use it too many times in a day, but now he couldn't care so much.

"I won't let you! Eight Trigrams Vacuum Palm!" Many Hyuga clan members could use this long-range attack, let alone Kenta, one of the clan's elites. Seeing that Kiba gave up on him to help Hinata he immediately grasped the opportunity to shoot a 'vacuum shell' at Kiba's back.

"Boom!"

There were two sounds of collision. Kiba used his Garouga to kill a member of the Root that was about to attack Hinata. However, he was also hit by the Vacuum Palm and immediately reverted to normal.

Because he was fusing with Akamaru, both of them were injured. Moreover, Akamaru's injuries were relatively severe. It could be said the Inuzukas could only exert their combat effectiveness when they fought with their ninja dogs. When their dogs got injured or was unable to fight, their combat effectiveness would be greatly reduced.

"Kiba!!" For the first time, Shino's voice had a fluctuation of emotion. "Secret Technique - Insect Sphere!"

Shino controlled some of his kikaichus to block Junpei, then controlled the rest to appear behind the attacking Kenta and surround him.

"Get out of the way, damn insects!." Kenta's complexion changed greatly. He didn't expect that Shino would capture the gap between his attack and Kiba. This guy had hidden some of his insects around him, and he finally had the opportunity to take advantage of them. Kenta felt that the chakra in his body was being extracted, and he immediately shouted.

"Damn bastard, how dare you hurt Akamaru! Tsuga!" Kiba was left alone because Akamaru was injured and could not move for the time being. Seeing that Kenta was wrapped by the insects, he continuously exerted his chakra.

Kiba immediately turned into a small tornado and directly hit Kenta, sending him away.

"Cough... cough..." Kiba coughed blood after using the Tsuga so many times and being injured by the Vacuum Palm. He was in no condition to use such jutsu repeatedly.

"Hurry up!" The attacks of the people from Root were even faster and more ruthless. Hinata was facing four ninjas by herself, and now the amount was reduced to three. She already consumed a lot of chakra after using the Revolving Heaven many times.

"Fireball Jutsu!" When one of the Root members noticed Hinata's fatigue, he immediately spat out a high-temperature fireball to attack her.

"Ryoha, now I finally won't be a burden to you..." Unexpectedly, Hinata did not dodge nor defend. She faced the fireball directly, causing the expressions of the Root members around her to change greatly. They knew that if something happened to Hinata, they would fail their mission, and Konoha would be finished.

They did not expect Hinata to surrender herself to the fireball. She still had the last of her chakra, yet she decided to stand still.

"Hinata-sama!" A cold shout came, and a figure appeared in front of Hinata, and then another figure pulled Hinata away.

The one who used the Revolving Heaven to block the fireball was of course, Neji. Whether it was because he promised Ryoha or because he wanted to atone for his sins, he would never allow anything to happen to Hinata before he died. Therefore, he often used his unrestrained Byakugan's power to monitor the rotten higher-ups of the village.

Because he knew that the only thing they could do to threaten Ryoha was to use Hinata. The rotten higher-ups had to capture Hinata to complete the first step of their plans. Neji also knew that Ryoha's strength had improved greatly, and he had awakened his Wood Release and the Sharingan of the End. So he realized that maybe the higher-ups would move anytime soon.

Therefore, he immediately used Byakugan to find Hinata. Sure enough, he found that Hinata was besieged here. He immediately rushed over as fast as he could. As for who pulled Hinata, of course, it was his teammate Tenten. And Lee was busy holding the other two members of the Root.

"Hinata, are you okay?" Tenten was very disappointed. She did not expect Konoha to actually do such things. Before, she did not believe Neji's words. Now it seemed that it had finally become a fact.

"You are all from the Hyuga clan. Why did you do this to Hinata-sama?" Neji looked at the two people in front of him. Although Ryoha almost killed him, he did not hate Ryoha at all.

Instead, he was very grateful to him and admired him. He never forgot Hinata after leaving Konoha. He paid so much attention to Hinata that he even went as far as helping him get rid of the Caged Bird Cursed Seal from his forehead.

Ryoha's actions enabled him to use his Gentle Fist and Byakugan to the maximum, so how could he hate Ryoha? Now that he saw that even the Hyuga was involved, he was even more disappointed with this already disappointing clan.

The village used the clan to went against its own member, who was also a part of the village. Konoha was very ironic.
