The Hyuga Elder and Hiashi returned to the Hyuga clan compound. Hiashi said, "Father, you don't have to do this. We will fight and just need to hold him back until the Hokage is freed. We'll be fine."
"Why do you think Jiryoku chose tonight? He must be confident that the Hokage cannot interfere with his plans. And don't tell me that, with your Byakugan, you didn't see Orochimaru inside the Purple Barrier. You know how powerful Orochimaru is, and there's doubt whether the Hokage, who is getting old, can defeat him. Let's not forget that someone like Jiryoku wouldn't find destroying the Hyuga clan much of a challenge. I promised you that I would sacrifice myself for the Hyuga clan without hesitation, and that time has come," said the Hyuga Elder.
Hiashi wanted to say something, but the Hyuga Elder stopped him and said, "Go quickly and evacuate the Hyuga clan compound with all the branch members. We don't have much time."
Hiashi had no choice but to follow his father's orders. He was not only a son but also the clan head.
Within minutes, a successful evacuation was completed in the Hyuga clan. Since the Nine-Tails rebellion, every clan had made special preparations to ensure that their members could be evacuated quickly if needed. It was because of these preparations that the Hyuga clan could be evacuated so swiftly.
In the open space of the Hyuga clan compound, all the elders stood together.
"Hyuga Elder, why have we been stopped here?" asked one of the old men.
"Yes, why are we here when all the other clans' people have evacuated?" inquired Hyuga Tanai.
"You are all here because I want you to be here," a voice replied, accompanied by the sound of footsteps.
Everyone turned their attention to the approaching figure and was shocked to see that it was Jiryoku.
"What are you doing here?" Tanai's son asked.
"I can sense your shock and fear. Are you afraid that I will find out about that night?" Jiryoku asked.
"Which night are you referring to?" Tanai's son replied, his voice trembling.
"Exactly the same night you're thinking of—the night you killed my mother," Jiryoku revealed.
Upon hearing this, not only did Tanai and his son's faces change, but also those of all the present Hyuga elders. They knew the true reason behind Jiryoku's mother's death.
"Somewhere deep inside, I have the desire to torture you for eternity. But I can't bring myself to do that, thanks to what my mother taught me and my personal ethics," Jiryoku said, driving his sword into the ground.
"So, by my presence, you all understand that I am here to kill you. But don't worry, I will give you a chance to fight me. I won't use my swordsmanship or my gravity manipulation abilities. Instead, I'll fight using my taijutsu, which is not my strongest point but happens to be your strongest point during battle," Jiryoku declared, keeping his hand behind his back.
Initially, the elders were filled with fear, knowing the strength of Jiryoku. However, when they heard his words, they breathed a sigh of relief.
"Your biggest mistake will be underestimating us." Underestimating Jiryoku's strength, the elder lunged forward with a swift strike to Jiryoku's face. Jiryoku, on the other hand, had razor-sharp instincts, and with a fluid movement, he gracefully tilted his head, evading the attack just in time. It was an incredible feat of agility. And seeing this as an opening elder attacked Jiryoku on Jiryoku chest with his palm but when his palm hit Jiryoku chest at that time Jiryoku chest was covered with armament haki and the elder felt as if he was hitting iron wall and not only that the gentle fist technique also didn't worked as the armament haki covering Jiryoku's chest blocked the chakra outside the body and didn't let it enter the body of Jiryoku so in the ending Jiryoku remained unharmed.
Whereas Jiryoku surged forward like a bolt of lightning, his leg now wrapped in Armament Haki, striking the elder with bone-shattering force. The elder was thrown through the air by the sheer force of the kick, his body twisting and contorting unnaturally as his spine snapped, bringing an end to his life.
Seeing his comrade's fate, Hyuga Tanai took advantage of the opportunity to strike Jiryoku from the side, believing himself to be within striking distance. Nonetheless, he underestimated Jiryoku's reflexes and the danger he now faced. Jiryoku's index finger, infused with the ferocity of wind chakra nature, shot forward with lightning-quick reflexes, piercing Hyuga Tanai's outstretched hand.
A searing pain rushed through Hyuga Tanai's body, causing him to scream. Jiryoku's wind-chakra-infused finger ripped through Tanai's hand, leaving a trail of destruction in its wake. The wind chakra slashed through Tanai's palm, rendering it useless and leaving him in agony. Tanai's face twisted in agony as he realised the disastrous consequences of his reckless attack.
The atmosphere was tense as the two other elders closed in on Jiryoku at that critical moment. As they executed the Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four Palms technique, a formidable array of strikes aimed at overwhelming their opponent, their movements were swift and precise.
Jiryoku, on the other hand, evaded the initial onslaught with the grace of an experienced warrior.
Jiryoku's hands flashed as the elders' final strike approached, effortlessly intercepting the attacks. The clash of palms reverberated throughout the Hyuga compound, demonstrating Jiryoku's formidable skill.
"As you included me in your range with that, you were also in my range," Jiryoku said, and an Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four Palms pattern covered both the elders, and Jiryoku launched a barrage of palm strikes, and each palm covered in wind chakra destroyed internal organs of the elders, and the elders died on the spot.
