Chapter 19: Saving Hizashi Hyuga (Part 2)

"Boom..."

The explosion directly sent the Hyuga Elder flying. Although he was not injured, his face looked very ugly.

In fact, normally, the power of these exploding kunai was not enough to send the Hyuga Elder flying. However, the Hyuga Elder did not use his full strength, and the Heavenly Rotation was only used hastily. In addition, no one expected that the kunai released by Sakura would explode, which caused the Hyuga Elder to suffer a big loss.

"Third Hokage, Hiashi-san, let's go and see if we can still save Hizashi-san!"

Ignoring the Hyuga Elder who was getting up with a face as black as the bottom of a pot, Sakura stepped on the Demon Sword and floated up. Being too young, walking with small hands and feet was too slow, so flying directly was faster.

Third Hokage and Hyuga Hiashi also ignored the Hyuga Elder who was about to explode with anger. Hyuga Hiashi waved his hand and sent away other clan members who were attracted by the sound of the explosion. He took Sakura and hurried towards the place where the branch family lived.

In Hizashi Hyuga's home, young Neji Hyuga looked confused. He did not understand why his father only went to a meeting and died when he came back. Looking at Hizashi Hyuga's body, a wave of sadness rose in Neji Hyuga's heart.

"Neji, where is your father's body?"

Hyuga Hiashi jumped directly from the wall and saw the bewildered Neji in the courtyard. He also felt a wave of pain in his heart.

"Hiashi-sama, my father's body is in the house..." Although he was young, Neji already understood the concept of the main and branch families. Therefore, when facing Hyuga Hiashi, he was respectful.

Without caring about Neji's attitude, Hyuga Hiashi's only thought now was to save Hizashi Hyuga. As the saying goes, only after losing something will one learn to cherish it. After experiencing Hizashi Hyuga's death, Hyuga Hiashi's suppressed brother complex had completely awakened.

Sakura and Third Hokage also flew down from the wall. The pink cloud under Third Hokage's feet made Neji Hyuga's head spin, and he looked at Third Hokage's eyes strangely.

"Cough, cough, Sakura, let's go and save people!" Third Hokage coughed lightly twice, ignoring Neji's gaze. Although the pink color was a bit flashy, the feeling of flying directly without walking was really cool. Let's ignore the color for now.

"Okay..."

Following Hyuga Hiashi, they ran into the house. Sakura breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, they were not too late. Hizashi Hyuga's soul had not completely returned to the underworld yet, and there was still a chance to save him.

"Hiashi-san, close the door so that we don't attract attention later!"

After giving the order, Sakura walked to Hizashi Hyuga's body. It had to be said that Hizashi Hyuga and Hyuga Hiashi looked very similar, so it was no wonder that the elders of the Hyuga clan came up with the idea of letting Hizashi Hyuga replace Hyuga Hiashi to die.

Young Neji and his mother stood together, staring curiously at Sakura. They did not understand why they came to see their father's body.

"Sakura, how is the situation? Can he still be saved?" Third Hokage asked.

"Fortunately, his soul has not been completely taken away by the underworld, so he can still be saved!"

Sakura took a deep breath, activated the Time Stone, first restored Hizashi Hyuga's body to its original state, and then prepared to pull his soul back.

"Soul? Sakura, can't you just rewind time directly? Hizashi died only a moment ago. Can't you just rewind his time?" Third Hokage asked in confusion. There was no one else here. Hyuga Hiashi was a firm supporter of the Hokage faction, and Hizashi Hyuga's wife and child could also be trusted. Therefore, Third Hokage did not hide anything. The most important thing was that he wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to make Hyuga Hiashi understand the meaning represented by Sakura. As long as Hyuga Hiashi was not stupid, he would definitely let his daughter and Sakura get along well. By then, with the relationship of the Hyuga clan, the relationship between Sakura and the Hokage faction would naturally become closer.

"Useless!" Sakura shook her head and explained, "The reason why people are alive is not just the function of the body, but more importantly, the cooperation of the soul. Without the soul, the body is just an empty shell. If Hizashi-san's soul has been attracted to the underworld, even if I rewind his body's time, he still cannot survive!"

As she spoke, Sakura's eyes began to glow orange. At first, it was just a little bit, but in the end, the entire pupil of her eye turned orange, completely losing its previous emerald green color.

Third Hokage and Hyuga Hiashi couldn't help but step back as the aura emanating from Sakura made them feel their souls trembling.

"Soul... power... space..."

In the air above Hizashi Hyuga's body, an invisible mist was slowly dissipating. Just as it was about to disappear completely, the power of the Soul Stone wrapped around the mist. Then, an invisible force was applied to Hizashi Hyuga's soul, resisting the attraction from the underworld.

Using the remaining part of Hizashi Hyuga's soul and the part that had already been taken away by the underworld as a connection, the power of the Space Stone was activated. Above Hizashi Hyuga's body, a grayish space channel opened, and the pale blue energy confined the space channel within a fixed range.

The gray space channel rolled like mist, and little specks of light flew out from it. These were the parts of Hizashi Hyuga's soul that had already been taken away.

With a wave of her hand, the space channel closed instantly, leaving only the dazzling small light clusters hovering above Hizashi Hyuga's body.

"Condense for me!" The orange in Sakura's eyes became even more intense, like a colorful gem.

The little specks of light slowly began to gather and eventually turned into a complete small light cluster. Under Sakura's control, the light cluster quickly drilled into Hizashi Hyuga's body.

"He should wake up now..."

Sakura snapped her fingers, and Hizashi Hyuga's soul was completely integrated into his body.

"Cough, cough, cough..."

Under the gaze of Hyuga Hiashi and others, Hizashi Hyuga's chest suddenly began to rise and fall. After a while, he coughed a few times and slowly opened his eyes.

"Hizashi, you're okay now..." Hyuga Hiashi hugged Hizashi Hyuga excitedly and cried. Hizashi Hyuga looked confused.

"It's really... a touching brotherly love..." Perhaps due to her yaoi fangirl tendencies, Sakura's first thought upon seeing Hyuga Hiashi crying while hugging Hizashi Hyuga was not to marvel at their deep brotherly bond, but to subconsciously recall the plot of those BL novels she had read in her past life about these two brothers.
