After killing all the hostile ninjas present here, Jiryoku stood in the middle of corpses with his sword in his hand and covered in blood. He shook his sword to remove the blood from it, and then he sheathed it calmly. Afterward, he turned towards his back and said, "You have been watching for quite a while now. You can come out." As soon as Jiryoku's voice fell, eight ninjas stood in front of him.
These eight individuals were none other than Iroha and other ninjas from the Hyuga clan. They stood there, looking at Jiryoku with solemn expressions, especially Iroha and his team. They had been with Jiryoku for a whole month but had never witnessed such strength from him. At most, they had assessed his strength to be that of an Elite Chunin. However, it was evident that his power was enough to defeat someone stronger than an Elite Jonin, even with his team. They were shocked, unable to utter a word, and Jiryoku didn't force them to speak either. Instead, he asked them one question, "Although I have an idea of who might be behind this, I still want to hear it from you. Who?" Upon hearing the question, they all remained silent and assumed an attacking stance.
"It seems that you don't plan to talk, so be it." After saying that, Jiryoku used "Gravity Field." As soon as Jiryoku executed this technique, everything within a 50-meter radius of his body sank and was crushed.
The Hyuga ninjas, who were prepared to fight, suddenly felt the weight of ten times the gravity on their bodies. Although they had trained in taijutsu and possessed great physical strength, they had never experienced such an extreme amount of gravity and weight. They could barely move.
Jiryoku began walking towards them with ease, as if strolling through a garden. He raised his right hand and spoke, "When I was a child, my father taught me how to perform the Gentle Fist. Of course, I lack eyes, let alone the Byakugan to see the body's acupuncture points. However, I did learn one thing: how to destroy a ninja's internal organs without causing external harm."
After hearing Jiryoku's words, every Hyuga ninja was shocked. They knew that Jiryoku's father had died when he was only one year old, which meant that he had learned the technique at an incredibly young age.
As Jiryoku uttered those words, he infused his right palm with chakra and struck the heart of one of the Hyuga ninjas. Upon impact, the Hyuga ninja vomited blood and died. With no resistance left in his body, he crumbled to the ground under the overwhelming force of gravity.
One by one, using a similar technique, Jiryoku employed the Gentle Fist to target the internal organs of the Hyuga ninjas, ultimately killing them. They wanted to shout, to scream, but the intense gravity left them barely able to resist, rendering them unable to speak.
Jiryoku didn't even change his expression and killed all of them, including Iroha, who felt guilt and remorse. Jiryoku could sense these emotions through his Observation Haki, but as an enemy, he would never show mercy. After eliminating them, he walked to the center of the village and plunged his sword into the ground. He then uttered, "Zero gravity." Suddenly, everything around him began to float, and as he moved, objects continued to hover in the air. Gathering the bodies of the fallen ninjas, he employed "Storm Style: Tornado." A colossal tornado formed, accompanied by thunderous rumbles, pulling everything that floated into its vortex, grinding them as if they were placed in a grinder.
Having completed his task, Jiryoku turned around and started walking away. While walking, he spoke, "Be grateful that you didn't show any hostility towards me, or else you would join these deceased individuals." With those words, Jiryoku vanished from the scene.
After 15 minutes, the tornado subsided, leaving nothing but dust behind. However, this dust was stained red, as it consisted of soil mixed with the blood of the ninjas who had perished at the hands of Jiryoku. The entire area surrounding the tornado was now covered in this eerie red dust.
About 100 meters away from the center of the village, where the tornado had occurred, the ground burst open, and a hand emerged, followed by a person. It was a ninja with white hair, and his left eye was concealed by the forehead protector of Konoha village. It was none other than "Copy Ninja Kakashi."
Upon emerging, Kakashi observed the devastation at the village center, where everything had been annihilated, and nothing remained except for the haunting sight of the blood-soaked ground. Kakashi gazed in the direction where Jiryoku had vanished and murmured, "Even the Hyuga ninjas were unable to detect my presence, yet he was able to sense that I was hiding here."
After uttering those words, Kakashi surveyed the entire area, his expression turning solemn. The village lay in ruins, devastated by the recent events. It resembled the aftermath of a small-scale war between two ninja villages. Finding nothing of significance, Kakashi swiftly departed from the scene, heading in the direction of Konoha to report everything that had transpired to the Hokage.
