"You… you dare hit me? You, a piece of trash, dare hit me?! I'll kill you today!!"
Never imagining that Hyuga Goryu would strike him, Hyuga Hidemu—who had just been slapped by Hyuga Goryu—saw red in an instant.
Completely forgetting the presence of others around him, the enraged Hyuga Hidemu pulled out a kunai and lunged at the still-smirking Hyuga Goryu!
Seeing this, the faces of all the surrounding Hyuga clan members changed completely!
If they allowed the two to actually harm or kill each other, everyone present would surely face punishment!
After all, standing by and watching clan members fight to the death without intervening was a grave taboo in any family!
Just as the nearest Hyuga clansmen prepared to step forward and stop the two, a figure appeared in front of them, raising a hand to halt their advance.
Seeing this sudden interruption, all the Hyuga clan members present froze in surprise.
And in that brief moment of distraction, the now completely irrational Hyuga Hidemu finally closed in on the still-smirking Hyuga Goryu.
"Die, you piece of trash!"
Glaring at the grinning Hyuga Goryu, the furious Hyuga Hidemu swung his kunai, aiming to stab the Hyuga Goryu in front of him.
But just as the sharp kunai was about to strike, the smile on Hyuga Goryu's face vanished, replaced by an icy, chilling smirk!
"Trash? I'm afraid you can't even beat trash!"
With a mocking tone, Hyuga Goryu calmly sidestepped Hyuga Hidemu's thrust!
Then, a sharp glint flashed in Hyuga Goryu's eyes as he reached out, grabbed the wrist holding the kunai, and twisted it brutally.
*CRACK!*
"AHH!!"
The crisp sound of breaking bones and a scream echoed through the surroundings, causing everyone present to pale instantly!
No one had expected the clearly composed Hyuga Goryu to strike so ruthlessly in front of so many clan members!
This blatant act of revenge immediately sparked a fleeting trace of killing intent in the eyes of many Hyuga clansmen present!
While those in attendance might not have personally bullied Hyuga Goryu, their own children had!
And now, Hyuga Goryu's display of ruthlessness and vengeful nature naturally stirred their worry and displeasure!
After all, people are selfish!
Everyone wants their own child to be the one bullying others, not the one being bullied!
Casually scanning the crowd with his gaze, Hyuga Goryu—having just broken his opponent's wrist—swiftly raised his leg and delivered a fierce kick, sending the still-screaming Hyuga Hidemu flying!
Having completed these actions decisively, Hyuga Goryu straightened his expression and bowed respectfully to Hyuga Hiashi, the one who had stopped the others.
"Good afternoon, Lord Hiashi!"
"You can extract chakra now?"
Looking at the respectfully composed Hyuga Goryu before him, Hyuga Hiashi asked in an emotionless tone.
"Yes, Lord Hiashi!"
"When did this happen?"
"This morning, after I was beaten again by Hyuga Hidemu and the others!"
"…Why did you break Hyuga Hidemu's wrist?"
Caught off guard by Hyuga Goryu's response, Hyuga Hiashi paused briefly before asking again.
"Lord Hiashi! You should know that they've broken my arms and legs before! More importantly, Hyuga Hidemu just tried to kill me!"
Facing Hyuga Hiashi's questioning, Hyuga Goryu provided a clear and logical answer.
