Chapter 201 Come forth, Hyuga Army!
Neji stood on the tree, calm and composed, forming hand seals.
"Whether our heroes need your crocodile tears or not, why don't you come and ask them yourselves!"
"Come forth, Hyuga Army!"
As Neji spoke, the earth rumbled, and coffins rose from the ground, standing silently before each hero's monument.
A stone tablet is paired with a coffin, each one corresponding perfectly and neatly arranged.
The once solemn and dignified family cemetery suddenly became gloomy and terrifying.
Since he couldn't reach an agreement with those Hyuga ancestors, Neji stopped pinning his hopes on these old fogies and simply expanded the summoning range.
He had White Zetsu infiltrate the family cemetery, where they selected the most powerful ninjas from among those recently killed in battle, extracted their genetic samples, and then performed the "Impure World Reincarnation" on them.
So when the coffin lid was opened, everyone saw the person they had just been crying for walk out of the coffin and stand in front of them again.
"Father, how could this be—"
"elder brother----"
Chaos immediately erupted in the crowd.
When Konoha was destroyed, they had actually seen the Uchiha clan's Edo Tensei army, but they never thought that their own relatives would also be Edo Tensei.
The ninjas summoned by the Impure World Reincarnation were also confused.
In their memory, he had just died, but then he opened his eyes and found himself back in Konoha Village.
Before they could even show any joy at seeing their loved ones again, their expression changed, and they shouted, "Get out of the way!"
"I can't control my body!"
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, these impure earth bodies strode forward.
"Be careful, the reanimated bodies are immortal. Don't use your usual fighting methods against them!"
"Quickly, go and call the village to send their sealing team!"
Amidst the shouts of numerous Jonin, all the ninjas hurriedly drew their weapons, assumed defensive stances, and awaited the battle.
To their surprise, the impure bodies completely ignored them, bypassing their bodies and rushing towards their backs.
They had barely paused for a moment when they heard the impure creatures scream again.
"Stop us!"
"I'm being controlled to assassinate the main family!"
"What?!" Everyone hurriedly turned around and saw a group of impure spirits clearly targeting the main clan members, launching a barrage of attacks.
"Protect the main family at once!"
With a shout, everyone rushed towards the Zong family's direction.
"How dare they defy their superiors!"
Hyuga Hiyuu instinctively formed hand seals quickly, activating the "Caged Bird" spell seal, and pointed it at the branch family's reanimated form that had recently pounced on him.
"ah----"
The impure body screamed in agony, but its body remained completely unaffected, its movements still concise and powerful, its killing moves utterly deadly.
"Ha ha----"
Neji, standing some distance away, laughed heartily: "Your main family's 'Caged Bird' curse seal can control the living, but I refuse to believe you can control the dead!"
"Hmph!" Hyuga Hiyu snorted coldly and turned his gaze to Neji.
However, the distance between the two is too great, and the "Caged Bird" seal cannot take effect at such a distance.
Seemingly having discovered Hiyori Hyuga's intentions, Neji loudly mocked, "I already figured out the range of this cursed seal's application. Did you think I'd give you that chance?"
He stood atop a treetop, arms outstretched, full of vigor, feeling more exhilarated than he had ever been in his life.
"Several men, escort me over there!" Hyuga Hiyu shouted.
However, as far as the eye could see, most of the Jonin were entangled by many Edo Tensei bodies and could not break free.
In close combat, these Edo Tensei bodies have a huge advantage. Although their physical abilities are limited by the materials they are made of, making them much lower than taijutsu ninjas, they are fearless in the face of death!
No matter what deadly move they encounter, they don't need to block it at all. As long as they fight to the death, they can keep the enemy occupied.
Just as he was frowning, several members of the branch family rushed over and volunteered.
"Elder Riyong, we will protect your past!"
Riyong glanced around and noticed that none of these people rolled their eyes, which made him feel somewhat disgusted.
But with a formidable enemy at hand, he couldn't care less about anything else and immediately led his men straight toward Hyuga Neji.
The distance between the two was not too far; at a ninja's pace, they would arrive in just a few breaths.
"Let's see where you run this time!"
A fierce glint flashed in Hyuga Hiyori's eyes, and he began to form hand seals.
Why should I run away?
Neji, perched on the treetop, showed no sign of fleeing; instead, a strange smile appeared on his lips.
Hiyuki Hyuga was stunned. Just as he was about to cast a spell on Neji, he suddenly felt a chill down his spine as a blood-stained blade tip emerged from his chest.
"you----"
Before Hinata could even utter a word of surprise, the blade retracted, and with a series of "thud, thud, thud" sounds, his body was pierced with seven or eight clear holes.
Blood gushed out of his chest and back like a fountain, and his life was also lost through the wounds.
The branch family members who were supposed to protect him became the deadly killers who wanted to take his life.
Meanwhile, similar scenes were playing out in many parts of the battlefield.
"Now is the time!"
"I've been waiting for this moment for over a decade!"
"Damn old man, go to hell!"
Many branch families, after getting close to the main family, suddenly launched an attack and annihilated the main family in one fell swoop.
For years, the obedience of the branch families had prevented them from ever considering the possibility of betrayal. Now, however, they had to taste the bitter fruit of this "trust."
Even those assassinations that failed created opportunities for other impure beings.
An elderly member of the main family had just parried a sneak attack from a branch family when his spine was shattered by his deceased close friend's Bagua Sixty-Four Palms.
Another elder dodged in time, but was pierced through the temple from the side by his once most beloved disciple.
In the blink of an eye, most of the clan members present were dead.
The cemetery seemed to have turned into a battlefield.
The carefully prepared white chrysanthemums were soaked in blood, and the sacrificial cakes were trampled into mud.
A body lay right in front of a relative's tombstone, blood filling the inscription grooves and clearly showing the four characters "Hyuga Main Family".
Only a few lucky or powerful members of the main family survived this wave of assassinations.
The survivors stood back to back in a circle, each with an expression of disbelief and terror on their face.
Their plain clothes were splattered with blood, like plum blossoms withering in the snow.
This round of assassinations terrified them. After a brief hesitation, they ran away in a panic.
As long as you escape to the village, you can naturally get the village's protection.
But before they could even leave the cemetery, the patrol team outside surrounded them.
Just by looking at their fierce eyes, you could tell they were up to no good.
