Naruto: Cultivating to Immortality

Chapter 554 True Power

These sealing ninjas were highly trained and worked in perfect coordination. One of the older sealing ninjas made the first move, rapidly forming hand seals and chanting incantations. A mysterious light emerged from his hands and shot towards the Second Mizukage. At the same time, the other sealing ninjas also unleashed their unique sealing techniques. In an instant, multicolored lights intertwined, forming a magnificent net that enveloped the Second Mizukage.

On the other side, facing his shattered and still unrecovered body, the sealing scroll in his hand instantly unfurled, transforming into a massive rune that surged towards the Third Raikage. With a deafening roar, the Third Raikage was successfully sealed in place, unable to move.

After defeating the two enemies, Hyuga Neji didn't waste a single second catching his breath or hesitating. He knew perfectly well that if he wanted to force the mysterious figure who had been hiding behind the scenes and manipulating the Impure World Reincarnation technique to reveal himself, he had to display his overwhelming strength as quickly as possible. So, he took a deep breath, as if inhaling all the surrounding air. With each breath, he could feel a powerful energy rapidly gathering in his hands.

Immediately afterward, Hyuga Neji concentrated all the gathered energy into his palms and thrust them forward with tremendous force. At that moment, Rasa, who had been fiercely battling the Fifth Kazekage Gaara, suddenly unleashed a stunning ninjutsu—he unleashed a torrent of golden sand, like a raging ocean, hurtling towards the Allied Shinobi Forces with overwhelming force. Faced with such a terrifying attack, Gaara dared not be careless, immediately gathering all his chakra to prepare to withstand the impact of this massive wave of golden sand.

However, before Gaara could even make a move, the massive shockwave unleashed by Hyuga Neji swept out like a roaring beast. Wherever it passed, the ground was instantly blasted into pieces, countless fragments of rock and dust rising into the air, forming a cloud of dust that blotted out the sun. Most terrifyingly, under the violent impact of this powerful force, not only were the golden sand waves stirred up by Rasa easily dispersed, but even a towering mountain dozens of meters away began to shake violently. The entire mountain resembled a drunken giant, swaying and unsteady, seemingly on the verge of collapsing at any moment, triggering a cataclysmic disaster.

Having done all this, Hyuga Neji stood quietly in place, his eyes coldly fixed on the Second Tsuchikage, who was currently engaged in battle with the Third Tsuchikage, Onoki, in the distance. He firmly believed that the enemy lurking in the shadows would not remain indifferent. As long as the Allied Shinobi Forces continued to expand their advantage, the enemy would eventually be unable to resist making a move and summoning even more powerful ninjas to fight him.

At this moment, all the members of the Allied Shinobi Forces present stared in disbelief at Hyuga Neji, who was displaying incredible power. Their faces were filled with disbelief, as if they had witnessed the most incredible thing in the world. Who could have imagined that this seemingly unassuming and reserved young ninja would possess such astonishing strength!

It should be noted that their opponents this time were no ordinary people, but rather the former Kage! These individuals were all top-tier powerhouses in their time, renowned throughout the ninja world, their glorious exploits widely known and feared. Yet, this group, seemingly invincible, was utterly powerless against Hyuga Neji, easily crushed to the ground.

Just moments ago, when the imposing and arrogant Fourth Kazekage, Rasa, unleashed his Golden Sand Ninjutsu, a torrent of energy like a raging torrent, everyone thought the battle was over and victory was assured. But to everyone's surprise, Hyuga Neji launched a single, seemingly effortless attack, instantly shattering the swirling golden sand into dust. Moreover, this incredibly powerful strike even breached Rasa's defenses, completely overwhelming him.

At this very moment, on the battlefield, the Third Raikage and the Second Mizukage, two beings of extraordinary strength, had both fallen and been completely sealed away! This outcome was utterly unexpected. One must understand that facing such a powerful enemy, a single misstep could lead to utter destruction. Yet, the members of the Fifth Division not only successfully defeated their opponents but also emerged unscathed from this breathtaking battle! Such a glorious record is nothing short of a miracle.

All eyes turned to Hyuga Neji, who remained expressionless. He stood there silently, seemingly oblivious to the surrounding commotion. The team members gazed at this figure, who seemed like a god of war descending upon them, and a deep sense of awe welled up within them. At the same time, an indescribable gratitude filled their hearts. If it weren't for Hyuga Neji's superb ninjutsu and calm, decisive command, the outcome of this battle would likely have been entirely different.

However, along with this gratitude, a hint of horror crept into everyone's hearts. After all, the strength Hyuga Neji had displayed was terrifying, far exceeding their previous understanding of him. Just how many unknown secrets and powerful methods did he possess? This question lingered in everyone's mind, making them both admire and fear Hyuga Neji.

Not far away, a fierce battle was still raging. Onoki was engaged in a breathtaking clash with the Second Tsuchikage, but his attention remained focused on the situation with the Allied Shinobi Forces. When he witnessed the astonishing strength displayed by Hyuga Neji, an unprecedented sense of shock welled up within him.

His eyes widened in disbelief as he stared at the figure. Hyuga Neji was just a teenager! Although he already knew that he was Hyuga Kanan's personal disciple, this scene still far exceeded Onoki's imagination. The power unleashed by this young man was terrifying, as if he could easily tear apart any obstacle in his path.

Onoki pondered to himself, "Even with Hyuga Neji's exceptional talent and the meticulous guidance of a formidable figure like Hyuga Kanan, such formidable strength still seems unbelievable." For the first time, he felt a sense of awe towards the legendary Hyuga Kanan. If simply sending out a disciple could produce such astonishing combat power, just what level of strength had Hyuga Kanan himself reached?

The more Onoki thought about it, the more terrified he became. The image of Hyuga Kanan in his mind grew increasingly mysterious and imposing. He began to suspect that perhaps Hyuga Kanan's strength had already surpassed the scope of his comprehension, and might even have exceeded that of Senju Hashirama, who once shook the entire ninja world and was hailed as the God of Shinobi! Thinking of this, Onoki felt a chill rise up his spine, and a fine layer of sweat involuntarily appeared on his forehead.

In that instant, Onoki's previously fluctuating emotions seemed to be soothed by an invisible force, quickly returning to a calm state. At this moment, his thoughts surged like a tidal wave.

Recalling the performance of Hyuga Neji, the disciple dispatched by Hyuga Kanan, Onoki was deeply impressed by that young and powerful figure. The strength and combat skills he displayed far exceeded his expectations, which filled Onoki with surprise and confidence.

"Since the disciples sent by Hyuga Kanan possess such astonishing strength, wouldn't our entire Allied Shinobi Forces have an even greater chance of winning?" Onoki thought to himself. "In that case, we are already in an invincible position in this war!" With this thought, his tense nerves relaxed a little.

However, despite the seemingly favorable situation for the Allied Shinobi Forces, Onoki remained vigilant. After all, their enemy—the Akatsuki—was no ordinary force. Especially since the Akatsuki controlled seven terrifying tailed beasts, the threat they posed was not to be underestimated.

However, Onoki now has reason to believe that even if the manipulator behind Akatsuki is indeed the legendary Madara Uchiha, the Allied Shinobi Forces are not without a chance of victory. As long as everyone works together closely, fully utilizes their individual abilities and strengths, and with a top-tier expert like Kanan Hyuga behind the scenes, winning this war is still very possible.

However, behind that fierce battle, Hizoko, who had been hiding in the shadows and manipulating the Second Tsuchikage's life-or-death struggle with Onoki, was staring wide-eyed at Hyuga Neji in the center of the battlefield with a look of astonishment.

He simply couldn't believe what he was seeing! He had originally thought this battle would be a close contest, but the scene before him completely exceeded his expectations. The strength Hyuga Neji displayed was like a thunderbolt, instantly shattering his understanding into countless fragments.

Hizoko thought to himself, "This... how is this possible? He's so powerful! Those are the former Kage of various ninja villages. Their strength is at the pinnacle of the ninja world, representing the highest level of power in the ninja world. But now, in front of this seemingly ordinary young man from the Hyuga clan, he is completely powerless and is so easily suppressed."

Despite his young age, Hyuga Neji's formidable strength is astonishing! His precise Byakugan perception, powerful Gentle Fist attacks, and versatile combat techniques are all breathtaking. Even more unbelievable is his composure amidst the intense battle; he remains remarkably calm and collected, as if everything is under complete control.
