32 - Crazed Patriarch

Nawaki, there was little information about him in Naruto, he died early as a simple genin, nothing about his abilities was given in the manga, but as the grandson of the great shinobi god Hashirama and tsunade brother the young man must have considerable talent.

After researching several databooks and interviews with the author himself, Karou found something very interesting about Nawaki, like his grandfather he had the elements earth and water, but he dominated another kekkei genkai.

Karou would take full advantage of this situation, he would test two things with this fight, if the talents of the legacies could be awakened in another way and if there were other talents hidden in the Clan.

- What do you think you're doing ?! - Karou spoke aloud, he didn't seem to scream, just his cold voice that could be heard throughout the hall.

Lin was even more nervous, he was about to die.

"Excuse me sir!" Lin tried to plead, but he was only met with a kick to the chest that threw him several meters away towards the innocent people of the Clan.

- You went against my decision and you still dare to talk to me like that ?! - Karou said impartially.

Several members of the Clan moved to help Lin. Karou continued to look at everyone in the room, finally several small flames were rising in their chest. Karou would fan these flames.

- You get up here! - Karou this time called a little girl. The girl should not be more than 10 years old. The girl who was already crying now kicked clinging to her mother. At this point, everyone in the room noticed. His new patriarch was nothing more than a cruel demon, possibly everyone would die there today.

People without Chakra like them had neither the strength nor the experience to deal with it, most of them gave up fighting.

The young woman was clinging tightly to her mother who was also crying, Karou quickly approached the girl and lifted her up by the glue of her clothes. The mother clung to Karou's legs teasingly.

A strange scene in which Karou walked dragging the mother with the child in her hands appeared. Karou had no problem beating some soldiers, but torturing a child psychologically while his mother begged left a bitter taste in his mouth. He wanted to give up his plan, he was going too far for his taste.

To Karou's happiness the flames were finally burning as hot as they could, finally someone acted, one of the young soldiers attacked Karou, he was punching him head on. He had no considerable talent, but talent was not everything. Willpower was the most important, talent can be managed with the legacies.

Karou used his free hand to defend himself from the punch, holding the young man's fist firmly, he lifted the boy's body, as if he were an angry child. Karou rocked the young man's body from side to side, bumping him against the floor.

"Shit, I think I exaggerated" As this world had a much higher concentration of Chakra, with just a little training, people's bodies reached superhuman levels.

Karou was too strong, stronger than he thought he was.

Soon after that, others attacked Karou. Lin was already up.

- Run! Quick run! - Lin wanted people to run away. - Let the city guards know. The blue jade Clan patriarch has gone mad!

Karou really did look crazy.

"It's time to end this." Some people had already fled, everyone who fled and abandoned their family members had already been captured by Karou's clones. Traitors and spies too. Karou couldn't exaggerate, if the flame of willpower erase people's minds they would break. Karou needed to show people that he wasn't omnipotent. Nobody was omnipotent.

Karou released the girl who ran to her mother, the two then ran away trying to get out of the room.

Now facing Karou there were only about 30 men, they just wanted to give people time to escape, they had no prospect of winning.

Karou smiled at the men, he took his sword and shocked away. Karou would go in pure melee. Activating his Sharingan to the fullest he started running towards his attackers.

The men also did not stand still, on an approximate scale Karou had a physique 10 times stronger than an ordinary human, but it was not as if Karou had the strength of 10 men, he had a physique 10 times greater, Karou could even face a small army of 1,000 men and come out the winner.

Karou didn't attack after getting close to the men, he just dodged. Karou was being attacked from all sides, but with the Sharingan all movements were being seen and intercepted.

Karou jumped, bent down, dribbled from left to right, faster and faster and more accurate. Karou practically played with men's lives. Lin then joined the fight.

- Boar blow! "Lin has been waiting all this time." As soon as he saw an opening he got it right. Karou was surprised, he had been hit by the attack, his body flew back a few meters.

Karou already thought it was time, he started his attack, his blows were accurate and fast, Karou like a reaper went through quickly, each blow he made made an enemy fall.

Soon Karou had already eliminated all the warriors, none were dead, they were just out of combat. Only Lin was on his feet, lin in desperation attacked Karou, Karou took his fist and formed a sign with Lin's hand.

Lin didn't understand what was going on, just took his fist and continued to hit. Every time he hit Karou, he took his hand and formed a strange signal. The signs changed, but in a moment they began to repeat themselves in an order. After more than 100 punches Karou thought it was enough.

He picked up Lin and with another hard blow threw him to the doors of the hall where a crowd was gathering trying to get out of the doors that were blocked outside by clones. Lin had stopped right next to the young mother and her daughter.

Karou then performed his jutsu.

- I'll get this over with! Fire style. Fire ball jutsu! - A giant fireball appeared. Lin did not even think twice and entered in front of the mother and daughter and with his own hands executed that seal that was now engraved in his mind.

In front of Karou a screen appeared, it was above Lin's head.

[Legacy [Nawaki senju] 30% released ... 31% released]

The young man was releasing the legacy alone, Karou only guided him on this path.

- Mud style, Mud barrier!

Like a wave the once solid ground rose and protected everyone, Lin fell to the ground exhausted, he was in a state of shock, but he was still awake. Karou continued on.

[Legacy [Nawaki senju] 47% released]

[Legacy [Onoki] 3% released]

Lin was releasing two legacies at the same time, Karou wanted to see how far he could go, he went ahead and extended his hand towards lin. The little girl ran away from her mother's arms and stepped in front of Lin protecting her body.

Karou was surprised by this, the girl was shaking with fear, but she was not moving out of his way. The girl also held back the crying and faced Karou strongly even with all the tremors.

- Karou, I think you've already achieved what you wanted. - Said Falcon - You have exaggerated too much, that way it will be complicated to have your loyalties!

Karou then left his destructive trance where he wanted to see how far Lin wanted to go. Karou reached out and put his head in the girl's hand.

- Sorry ... I think I crossed the line a bit. - Karou said that smiling. The girl raised her head and her eyes filled with tears again.

The doors opened at this moment, everyone who wanted to escape was happy, that joy was soon gone, dozens of Karou clones were waiting outside. Several of them entered the hall and began to carry the wounded.

Soon Falcon got up and started to speak with his voice reverberating through the hall.

- All of this was a test of the new patriarch, thanks to this we discovered the hidden talents of the members of the Clan. I apologize to everyone for this situation, the patriarch's green presentation will take place tomorrow.

People still feared, they looked at Falcon and Karou in disbelief. Karou took the girl in front of him on his lap.

- Sorry, you and your mom will be rewarded for everything, no need to cry.

At this moment the girl gave up on holding on and fell softly, Karou holding on she didn't know what to do.

"I really crossed the line ..."

Karou thought, putting the girl down again.
