"Teach them a lesson, then we'll take Hinata and leave," Ace said, gripping his steel staff as he looked at the white-eyed clan members, showing no signs of fear.
If they were talking about something scary, the Mountain King of Mount Gorbo was far more terrifying.
"Be careful. We don't know what these guys are capable of," Sabo, who was more cautious, warned. It had been a while since he practiced hand-to-hand combat, focusing mostly on enhancing his skills as a Pokémon Trainer at school.
In terms of individual strength, Sabo might be on par with Luffy at this point.
The real powerhouses in this battle were the four Fire-type Pokémon present. Except for Typhlosion, the other three also had Fighting-type attributes, making them particularly suited to taking on the Hyūga clan members.
"Attack together."
Hiashi, his face flushed with anger, gave the order as he glared at his daughter, who stood silently among the group.
The current Konoha still followed the old rules: the Pokémon League was not the highest authority here, so its laws did not apply to the people of this world.
The Hyūga Clan had the right to use force to drive out the intruders, the seven brothers from Mount Gorbo.
However, if this led to a conflict between Konoha's leadership and the League, the Hyūga Clan would have to obey Hiruzen Sarutobi's decisions and face the consequences.
In the next moment, all the branch family members activated their Byakugan and attacked in unison.
Meanwhile, the main family members stood back, watching the scene with no intention of getting involved. This was the tradition of the Hyūga Clan.
Main family members were to avoid direct combat whenever possible, staying within the village or the Land of Fire to carry out their duties. Unless they committed serious offenses, they would not stray far from home.
Konoha's leadership had tacitly agreed to this arrangement. After all, it wasn't just the Hyūga Clan; even they didn't want the Byakugan, a strategic weapon, to fall into enemy hands.
In the eyes of the main family, the lives of branch family members were expendable, and their eyes were of little value.
The main family controlled the branch members with the Caged Bird seal, ensuring that even if a Byakugan was taken, it could be destroyed using the seal, leaving the enemy with nothing.
As inhumane as it was, the Hyūga Clan's methods were highly effective.
On the battlefield, enemies loathed encountering Hyūga Clan ninjas—not only were they tough to deal with, but even killing them wouldn't yield any spoils. Even the nervous systems of branch family members would be destroyed upon death.
As a result, in the past, ninjas from other villages avoided engaging with Konoha teams that included Byakugan users whenever possible.
This aligned with the Hyūga Clan's original intention: "The Caged Bird Seal exists to protect the Hyūga Clan."
But within a few years, the main family realized they could use the Caged Bird Seal to control the opinions and actions of branch family members during internal disputes. The seal's purpose shifted entirely to "maintaining the main family's rule."
Of course, they continued to claim it was for the clan's protection.
Flame Charge x4!
The four Pokémon simultaneously ignited their bodies with roaring flames and charged at the branch family ninjas from all sides, transforming into blazing fireballs. Among them, Infernape's flames burned the brightest and hottest.
In this state, they resembled shinobi using Tailed Beast Chakra Mode or Lightning Release Chakra Mode.
"Is this a Fire Release Chakra Mode?!"
"All four of them are Fire Release Pokémon—watch out!"
"Don't try to block it! You'll ruin your hands—get out of the way."
The branch family ninjas, seeing the formidable display by the Pokémon, paled in fear.
Some still tried to show off, hoping to demonstrate their strength and value to the main family and possibly earn a promotion to branch family elder.
The result of their bravado was severe burns on their hands.
Fortunately, these ninjas were mostly chūnin or seasoned adults with strong physiques, making them more resilient than average. The Hyūga Clan ninjas had better physical conditioning than most, so they weren't likely to suffer fractures or other serious injuries from the Pokémon's attacks.
"Watch me, Gomu Gomu no Pistol!"
Young Luffy wasn't to be outdone. He threw a punch from several meters away, striking a branch family boy squarely in the face and knocking him back a few steps.
"His arm stretched!"
"What was that?!"
"Is that some kind of Kekkei Genkai?"
"Could it be a secret technique like the Akimichi Clan's?"
The main family members were visibly disturbed.
If only the Pokémon were powerful, they wouldn't need to worry much about the humans from the other world. They could just focus on keeping an eye on the Pokémon.
But now, Luffy had demonstrated that the other world also had humans with various unique abilities, and that complicated things.
Some of the conservative main family members were already signaling Hiashi with their eyes, indicating they were ready to make the same decision they had during the Cloud Village emissary incident years ago.
That decision was to yield and make concessions.
But Hiashi wasn't ready to decide just yet.
Just because the other world had powerful beings didn't mean the ones before him were strong. After all, there were only three human children here.
Their strength was indeed not bad—two of the boys were eleven years old, and the youngest was eight—yet they already displayed the skills of genin. In Konoha, they would be considered promising young talents.
Moreover, none of these kids knew any ninjutsu. They relied solely on their taijutsu skills to reach genin-level strength, which was impressive.
But that was all.
If this group was only capable of this much, Hiashi was determined to teach his daughter a harsh lesson today.
Though the Hyūga Clan had initially fought cautiously, intimidated by the strange Pokémon and their unusual abilities, they quickly realized that the fight wasn't as difficult as they had feared.
It only took three chūnin to handle the three kids. Among the four Pokémon, only Infernape had the strength of an elite jōnin, while the other three were merely jōnin-level. Blaziken, who had just recently evolved, was among the weaker jōnin.
The tide of the battle began to turn.
Luffy, caught off guard, was soon pinned to the ground by a branch family man and struggled fiercely.
The man holding Luffy down was startled by his resistance, worried that Luffy might break his arm. But to his surprise, Luffy's arm stretched instead.
In the end, Luffy accidentally wrapped himself up with his own arm.
"Luffy-nii..."
Hinata, seeing this, rushed forward, but the branch family member stopped her.
"Lady Hinata, please don't get any closer. Instead of worrying about this ill-mannered brat, you should think about how to apologize to the clan head later."
The branch family member spoke rudely.
This was normal. After all, branch family members didn't like the main family. They wouldn't dare to speak up against the stronger, more mature main family members, but they had no qualms about being harsh with someone as meek as Hinata.
"Ow..."
On the other side, Sabo's cry of pain rang out.
Despite his usually cautious and steady nature, Sabo had been out of training for too long, and his combat skills had deteriorated. He was quickly overpowered and pinned to the ground by another branch family member.
Hinata could no longer hold back.
Her brows furrowed, her Byakugan activated, and she raised her small fists to strike at the branch family member who was stepping on Luffy.
The branch family member's brow twitched, and with a smirk, he kicked Hinata to the ground.
Hinata lay on the ground without crying or making a fuss. She simply wiped the dirt from her face and stayed still, waiting.
The next moment, the branch family member began writhing on the ground, clutching his head in agony.
"Who gave you permission to lay a hand on Lady Hinata?"
A main family elder approached, pressing down on the Caged Bird seal, his expression emotionless as he stomped on the branch family member's face.
The elder didn't actually care how Hinata was treated.
But as long as Hinata bore the title of "main family," branch members were forbidden from harming her.
Taking advantage of the situation, Hinata pulled Luffy aside, helping him untangle his arms, and then the two of them went to help Sabo.
Ace was holding his own, engaged in an even battle with a branch family ninja.
The four Pokémon, however, were facing a tough situation.
Emboar, Typhlosion, and Blaziken were each up against ten or so branch family ninjas.
Infernape's situation was even more dire, surrounded by over thirty opponents, including seven or eight branch family elders who were as strong as jōnin.
Under such overwhelming attacks, the four Pokémon had already taken multiple hits.
Finally, at a certain point, all four Pokémon erupted with power.
Once again, their bodies ignited with scorching flames, raising the ambient temperature and causing the air around them to slow down.
Ability: Blaze—When a Pokémon's health drops to a certain level, their Fire-type moves become twice as powerful.
Among Fire-type Pokémon, only the hidden ability of Infernape and the Fire-type starter Pokémon across generations possess this ability.
It could almost be said that the Blaze ability is a hallmark of the Fire-type starters.
When this ability is activated, Infernape and the others' combat power would increase by at least half.
However, by this time, the Hyūga Clan members were no longer as panicked as they had been at the start. Even when faced with such a sudden change, they remained calm.
They had already realized that with their numbers and strength, these Pokémon were destined to lose. So they were in no rush, continuously engaging the four Pokémon to wear them down.
It was like the hunting strategy of hyenas.
At that moment, two shadows suddenly appeared on the ground.
Some of the Hyūga Clan members noticed and looked up, only to see a tall old man and a four-armed Pokémon flying toward them.
At that moment, a sense of impending doom filled their hearts.
This stance... why did it look so much like the monstrous strength of Tsunade-hime, one of the Legendary Sannin?
