Chapter 769: Gin, you are so damn miserable

As the captain of the Allied Shinobi Forces' melee division, Kitsuchi had just fallen.

Opposite him, the Susanoo on Uchiha Itachi's body, originally skeletal, began to sprout strip-like meridians that converged on the bones, forming skin and transforming into a humanoid shape.

Susanoo. Second Form!

Boom!

Another sword strike descended!

The thousands-strong melee army was like grasshoppers facing a human, crushed into minced meat with ease! "Bastard! How dare you do this to my old man—"

Kurotsuchi's eyes welled with tears, and she gritted her teeth, speaking with hatred.

The next second, Kurotsuchi, played by Pang Di, wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with her sleeve and lunged fiercely toward Uchiha Itachi. "No! Come back quickly! Miss Kurotsuchi!" Hinata's expression changed drastically, and she shouted out in alarm.

However, having lost her father, Kurotsuchi paid no heed. Her eyes were filled with the emotion known as "anger," and as she rushed toward Uchiha Itachi, she performed hand seals at high speed. "Earth Style: Rock Pillar!" Rumble! Rumble! Rumble!

As Kurotsuchi placed her palms on the ground.

Around the orange-red Susanoo, several barbed stone pillars, comparable in size to buildings, suddenly rose, stabbing toward the orange-red half-body giant.

Uchiha Itachi's three-bladed Mangekyo Sharingan glanced coldly.

Susanoo swung its sword!

Boom!!!

The rock pillars shattered, and together with the sword Qi, they surged toward Kurotsuchi. "Susanoo is simply invincible!"

Seeing this scene, many viewers couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

It can attack and defend, and it works at both long and short range.

Everything below Kage-level is killed instantly.

It can only be said that it is worthy of being the ultimate move that caused the power scaling collapse in the late stages of Naruto.

"Rotation!"

However, at the critical moment, two figures landed in front of Kurotsuchi, their hands overflowing with azure chakra as they spun their bodies rapidly.

Transforming into two blue energy spheres, they helped Kurotsuchi block the incoming flying rocks and sword Qi.

It was Hinata and Neji!

"Are you okay? Miss Kurotsuchi."

After barely blocking the aftermath of the attack, Hinata hurried to Kurotsuchi's side to ask.

"Mm..."

Kurotsuchi showed a look of gratitude, but there was more unwillingness.

Her own attack was actually completely unable to do anything to that Uchiha Itachi!

"Hinata! Neji! Run quickly! To deal with Uchiha Itachi and Uchiha Shisui, we need at least Kage-level powerhouses to respond!" Hyuga Hiashi turned his head and shouted sternly.

At his age, he had naturally heard of the great names of these two.

However, just as Hyuga Hiashi shouted this, Uchiha Shisui, who was on the other side wielding a sword and slaughtering everyone, occasionally glancing over with the corner of his Sharingan, shouted sternly: "Little girl with the Byakugan! Watch out!"

Reminded by Uchiha Shisui, everyone turned to look.

They discovered that Uchiha Itachi's second sword strike had already come!

And this time, the target was Hinata and Kurotsuchi! "No, no, no, no!"

Seeing the two beautiful ninjas played by beautiful actresses being rapidly approached, the fans had no time to post comments, instead rapidly muttering in front of their screens. "It's too late to use Rotation!"

Neji, not far away, was terrified. In the blink of an eye between life and death, Neji didn't even know what he was doing himself.

He lunged forward, his whole body forming a "big" shape, blocking in front of Hinata. "Brother Neji!?" Hinata exclaimed.

"I didn't expect... I would also walk the same path as my father, dying to protect someone from the main branch... Father, was this the feeling you had back then?" Blocking in front of Hinata at the final moment of life and death, the figure of his father, Hyuga Hizashi, appeared in Neji's mind.

And he revealed a relieved smile.

This scene was exactly like the one in the original work from his past life where Neji was killed by Obito's Wood Style: Cutting Spikes to protect Naruto and Hinata.

【Holy crap! Big brother-in-law! Don't!】

【Is Xu Feng, this dog, going to kill a main character so soon in the first episode?】

【Can you be a human being? Neji has only had a few years of peaceful days and you want to kill him? Why don't you kill Kiba Inuzuka instead?】

【Politeness: Are you Kiba Inuzuka?】

If one were to rank the childhood misery of the Konoha rookies.

Neji might be second only to the Crown Prince and Sasuke.

His father was tricked to death by the Cloud Ninja and the Third Hokage, he grew up in hatred, and after finally being persuaded by Naruto's "Talk no Jutsu" during the Chunin Exams, he only had two or three years of good days before Kishimoto sacrificed him to the heavens.

It is a bit miserable.

However, just as Neji, standing in front of Hinata, finished this regretful-sounding sentence, all the viewers felt he was about to be written off.

Another figure appeared in a "big" shape.

Blocking in front of Neji, who was in the same posture.

Puchi!

The Susanoo sword pierced through the other person's body.

Neji and Hinata, especially Neji, were stunned into silence.

Because the one who blocked the attack for him was none other than the head of the Hyuga main branch, Hyuga Hiashi!

"Father!!!"

Hinata shouted, nearly breaking down.

And Neji was frozen in place, completely dumbfounded.

"Lord Hiashi, wh-why..."

Neji asked with a trembling voice, unable to believe it.

The head of the main branch protected him, a member of the branch family!?

"Main branch, branch family, whatever... it doesn't matter anymore... cough..."

Hyuga Hiashi, whose entire upper body was almost pierced by the Susanoo sword, spoke with difficulty. Halfway through, he spat out a large mouthful of blood and said arduously: "Neji, just like... your father, my younger brother Hizashi... he didn't die to protect the main branch, but to protect the village, to protect his older brother. The current me... is also not protecting the branch family or the main branch, but simply dying for my niece and daughter..."

This final regret of Hyuga Hiashi made countless viewers' noses ache.

Just as he said, many fans remembered the first season, when his twin brother, Hyuga Hizashi, died and said: I didn't die to protect the main branch, but to protect my brother, to protect the village. And now, the older brother, Hyuga Hiashi, also said the same thing—I didn't die to protect the branch family, but to protect my niece, to protect my daughter.

This symmetry is perfect. "Father..."

Hinata cried uncontrollably.

"Don't, don't cry, Hinata... from now on, you have to rely on yourself... move forward, never give up... isn't that your ninja way?" Hyuga Hiashi used his last bit of strength to smile, "Do your best, whether as a ninja, or... as a wife." Hearing his father's words, Naruto's figure appeared in Hinata's mind.

But the next second, Hyuga Hiashi's body tilted.

He fell down powerlessly.

Hyuga Hiashi, killed in action!

And the first episode came to an end.

【Damn it, Xu Feng, this dog, really never disappoints when it comes to killing people. Maybe he thought killing rookies was too exciting, so he killed the protagonist's father-in-law right off the bat.】

【Hyuga Hiashi as a character never had much presence, but honestly, the ending Xu Feng designed for him, symmetrical with his brother, really sublimated this character who didn't have many scenes.】

【The Uchiha brothers are too awesome, they almost decided the direction of the battlefield single-handedly.】

【Should we start a betting pool to guess who Xu Feng will kill next?】

【Although Uchiha Itachi is scum, his abilities are truly cool. Amaterasu, Tsukuyomi, Susanoo—the three-piece set. I'm afraid even if the Five Kage came, they wouldn't dare say they could win.】

【Don't forget Uchiha Shisui hasn't even made a move yet, and there's still Nagato with the Rinnegan.】

The tense and exciting first episode ended, and the fans finally had the chance to express their thoughts in the comments and review sections.

The two people killed in the first episode, Kitsuchi and Hyuga Hiashi, didn't have any important scenes before and were relatively insignificant characters. ===== CHAPTER 771 =====
