Naruto: I, who fooled the ninja world, was hailed as a savior.

Chapter 245 You only know you're going to die
Bangdang...

The lingering echo of the heavy iron gate closing lingered in the deep passageway for a long time before finally being swallowed up by deathly silence.

Hyuga Tokuma watched helplessly as the door shut out the last ray of light and sound, and as the two figures were swallowed up by the dense darkness behind the heavy iron door...

His body, which had been tense, finally relaxed abruptly.

He was almost completely exhausted, his shoulders slumped, and he leaned heavily against the cold, icy wall covered with slippery moss beside him.

"call!"

He exhaled a deep, almost greedy breath, as if trying to expel all the repression, fear, and nauseating smell of blood from his chest.

A complex mix of guilt, fear, and relief nearly overwhelmed him.

But it's done.

Regardless of the outcome, he had at least completed his dirty part of the task.

At that moment when his mind was most relaxed, a voice softly sounded behind him:

"are you tired?"

The voice still carried some of the clear, youthful tone that hadn't faded, but deep within it lay a chill that didn't match its age.

Hyuga Tokuma simply closed his eyes wearily, too lazy to even lift his eyelids. Exhaustion and numbness overwhelmed him like a tide, and he didn't notice the unusual sound.

"Tired." He forced a bitter smile, more like a grimace, and answered casually in a muffled voice, "Of course I'm tired, after all, we're from the same race..."

The voice paused, then rang out again, its tone unchanged: "Since you knew they were of the same race, why did you still have the heart to kill them?"

Hyuga Tokuma kept his eyes closed, seemingly lost in his own thoughts of justification, murmuring as if in a dream, "Because, we have no other choice..."

However, as soon as he finished speaking, an extremely subtle yet sharp sense of unease, like the tongue of a venomous snake, suddenly licked his weary nerves.

wrong.

This time, the voice asking the question was no longer the clear, childish voice it had been before.

Instead, it became a deep, hoarse voice that felt somewhat familiar to him!

"No, you have a choice."

The voice behind them continued, seemingly finally understanding something. The previously somewhat turbulent tone became completely calm: "We are the ones who have no other choice."

As soon as he finished speaking, the hairs on Hyuga Tokuma's body stood on end. He suddenly opened his eyes, and the terrifying blue veins around his eye sockets bulged out instantly!

The chakra within his body surged out almost instinctively, and he didn't even have time to fully turn around and see the person behind him clearly.

With a backhand strike, he unleashed a soft fist and palm strike that concentrated all the power he could muster at the moment, along with his fear, creating a sharp whooshing sound as it lashed out behind the source of the sound!
However, the moment he turned and swung his hand, the figure behind him suddenly ducked down, the movement so fluid as if it had been calculated beforehand.

The deadly palm wind grazed past my scalp, and as I descended, the opponent's palm slammed out.

The chakra gathered in his palm was not violent, but extremely refined and cold, carrying an almost undisguised killing intent!
Bang! !

The dull, unsettling sound was particularly jarring in the silence!
That palm strike landed squarely on Hyuga Tokuma's unsuspecting abdomen!

The Gentle Fist's chakra instantly penetrated his body and then exploded violently within him.

Hyuga Tokuma's eyes suddenly bulged outwards, and blood vessels instantly appeared on his eyeballs. His entire abdominal cavity felt as if a red-hot iron had been plunged in and then cruelly churned and torn apart!

The meridians through which chakra flowed were shattered in an instant, and the internal organs were squeezed and severely damaged by the terrifying force!
"puff!"

Hyuga Tokuma was like a shrimp thrown into boiling water, writhing in pain as he spat out a mouthful of thick blood mixed with fragments of internal organs and acidic fluid!
Immediately afterwards, an irresistible force came from his abdomen, and his body was sent flying out of control!
boom! !

He slammed heavily against the cold, hard stone wall at the end of the passage. The enormous impact caused the entire wall to tremble slightly, and the cracking sound of bones breaking could be clearly heard.

The person's body felt as if its bones had been removed, and it slowly slid down the wall, leaving a long, shocking trail of blood on the surface before finally collapsing to the ground.

"Cough! How... is this possible..."

Another mouthful of blood spurted from his mouth. He struggled to lift his head, his vision blurred by the intense pain and dizziness. He could only see a figure slowly walking towards him.

Then, after a burst of white smoke, the "young guard's" disguise faded, and the figure emerged from the white smoke.

A short, sharp haircut that was completely out of place in the Hyuga clan, and a cold, stern face that made Hyuga Tokuma's pupils shrink and his blood almost freeze.

"Hyuga...Tetsu?" Hyuga Tokuma's voice trembled violently from the internal injuries and shock. "How could it be you? Why?!"

Hyuga Tetsuya, a Jonin of the branch family, was a classmate of Kurenai Yuhi, Asuma Sarutobi, Might Guy, and others.

If, if one of the guards who entered with Hyuga Haruto was Hyuga Tetsuya, then the other person who walked through that door with Hyuga Haruto, could it be...?

A name that terrified him surfaced in his mind, instantly plunging his thoughts into chaos and fear!
Just as he was lost in thought about this terrible conjecture, the light in front of him suddenly went out.

A tall shadow loomed over him, completely enveloping him and blocking out the faint light of the distant lamp. Hyuga Tokuma subconsciously looked up and saw Hyuga Tetsuya's cold, emotionless face and his Byakugan eyes filled with murderous intent.

His breath hitched, and his survival instinct kicked in as he braced himself on the ground with his hands on either side of his body, struggling to get up and fight back.

But the next moment, Hyuga Tetsu lifted his foot and stepped on Hyuga Tokuma's feet.

Click, click, click! Snap!

A series of crisp, chilling cracking sounds gradually rang out!

"what!!!"

Hyuga Tokuma let out an extremely shrill scream as Hyuga Tetsuo mercilessly crushed his ankles bit by bit.

The excruciating pain caused his entire body to convulse violently as if he had been electrocuted. All his struggles vanished instantly, leaving him powerless and limp on the ground like a lump of mud.

"Why? Hyuga Tetsuya! Are you insane?! What are you doing?!"

Hyuga Tokuma roared in agony, his voice distorted by the pain, his tone filled with confusion and anger.

"doing what?"

Hyuga Tetsuya's tone remained eerily calm. He slowly crouched down, looking directly into Hyuga Tokuma's eyes, and said, "Do what you did to Hyuga Takashi."

"Do what they've always been doing for us."

Sensing the undisguised, chilling killing intent in Hyuga Tetsuya's words, Hyuga Tokuma finally realized something, and his expression was instantly replaced by boundless fear!

Is this... liquidation?
Is the division of the family a purge of the main family faction?

These guys actually dared to strike first before the main family could make a move?!

"No! No, no, no! You, you can't do that!"

Hyuga Tokuma shook his head frantically, his voice shrill with fear: "Hyuga Tetsuya, Tetsuya! We're from the same clan! We trained together when we were kids!"

Seeing Hyuga Tetsu slowly stand up, his eyes looking down at him without the slightest wavering, only coldness and determination, Hyuga Tokuma completely collapsed.

He abandoned all dignity and struggled to kneel down with his still-movable upper body, his forehead hitting the ground heavily with a dull thud!
"Please, please spare my life! I shouldn't have been the Zong family's dog! I was just... I was just too scared, I didn't want to do it!"

His jaw chattered with fear, and his body and voice trembled violently.

"Give me another chance, I'll help you! I can also help you kill the main family, I know a lot of things!"

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I know I was wrong! Really, I really know I was wrong!"

Boom!Boom!Boom!
His face was a mixture of snot, tears, and blood as he pleaded and kowtowed repeatedly, his forehead becoming a bloody mess. He looked miserable and pathetic, like a stray dog ​​begging for mercy.

However, Hyuga Tetsuya simply looked down at him indifferently and slowly shook his head.

“No,” he said coldly, “don’t you know you were wrong?”

"You are just..."

As he spoke, Hyuga Tetsu raised his foot again, this time aiming it at the chin of Hyuga Tokuma's head, which he had raised in pleading.

"Knowing that I was going to die."

As soon as he finished speaking, his foot shot out like a cannonball, carrying sharp chakra and accumulated killing intent, kicking out from below without reservation!

Bang! Crack!
A terrifyingly dull yet crisp sound drowned out Hyuga Tokuma's final, abruptly cut-off scream.

The cries, the pleas, the sobs, and all other sounds of Hyuga Tokuma abruptly ceased.

Under that force, his head snapped backward at an extremely bizarre angle, and his cervical vertebrae snapped with a chilling crack!

Hyuga Tokuma's head was almost completely separated from his neck, with only a layer of skin and flesh barely connecting them, drooping helplessly on his back!
Those wide-open white eyes, filled with fear and pleading, instantly lost all their luster, frozen in the regret and despair of that final moment.

Blood gushed from his severed neck and mouth and nose, quickly spreading across the ground and forming a pool of blood that continued to expand.

Hyuga Tetsuya coldly withdrew his foot, not even glancing at the rapidly dying corpse, as if he had merely crushed a hyena that had been biting wildly.

Snap... Snap...

The blood, like a tragic and cruel crimson epiphyllum, suddenly bloomed on the mottled stone wall, and then slowly flowed down along the texture of the wall.

Inside the passage, only the sound of blood dripping from the walls and corpses could be heard, rhythmically striking the ground, as if playing the prelude to this belated reckoning.
