Chapter 8: Rampaging Father Complex

An angry voice resounded, followed by an Eight Trigrams Empty Palm that directly hit Izumi Saburo. The violent chakra instantly sent him flying, and the trees along the way were shattered.

"Wow..." Izumi Saburo spat out a mouthful of blood. Although the Cloud Village was proficient in ninjutsu and had strong physical abilities, he was caught off guard and hit by the Eight Trigrams Empty Palm, causing him to be seriously injured.

"How dare you kidnap my daughter?!" Hyuga Hiashi, with dozens of Hyuga clan ninjas, surrounded Izumi Saburo and his men. In his Byakugan eyes, his anger was almost tangible. Although other ninja villages had always coveted the Byakugan, no one had ever dared to attack the Hyuga clan's young lady within Konohagakure.

"Surrender Hinata, and I can spare your lives!" Hyuga Hiashi said.

"Lightning Release: False Darkness..." Izumi Saburo quickly formed hand seals, and his lightning chakra turned into a thunderbolt and rushed towards Hyuga Hiashi.

"Dying struggle..." Hyuga Hiashi snorted, dodging Izumi Saburo's Lightning Release.

"You fell for it!" However, Izumi Saburo laughed. His real goal was not to use Lightning Release to deal with Hyuga Hiashi, but to attract his attention. And the goal was... "Hinata..."

Hyuga Hiashi and other Hyuga clan members used the Body Flicker Technique to try to save Hinata. However, Izumi Saburo and his men had come with the intention of dying. When Hyuga Hiashi discovered their intentions, the three Chunin who were holding Hinata had already taken out kunai and were about to cut her neck. Even though the Body Flicker Technique was fast, it still required reaction time, and the kunai was only a hair's breadth away from Hinata's neck. There was no time.

Hyuga Hiashi was furious and wished he could instantly reach Hinata and block the knife for her.

"Hahaha, we won in the end..." Izumi Saburo laughed wildly. He was so close to letting his men kill the Hyuga clan's young lady, and then his follow-up plan would be successful.

However, the next second, Izumi Saburo's laughter stopped abruptly, and Hyuga Hiashi and others also stopped in their tracks.

A small hand grabbed the kunai that was about to stab Hinata. No matter how hard the owner of the kunai struggled, they could not continue to stab it. The blade of the kunai was only a hair's breadth away from Hinata's neck, but at this moment, it seemed like a world away.

"Surrender now! Mind..." Sakura, who had used the Space Stone to teleport to Hinata's side and grab the kunai, had a faint yellow light flashing in her eyes. The owner of the kunai, who had been struggling, suddenly collapsed and fell unconscious on the ground.

"Lightning Release: Lightning Spear, go to hell together..." Izumi Saburo's crazy voice came over, and a thunderbolt spread out from under his feet, rushing towards Sakura and Hinata. Hyuga Hiashi, who had just relaxed, felt his heart skip a beat.

"Stubborn dying struggle, lightning ninjutsu? I'll give it back to you..." Sakura put away her Oil-paper Umbrella and put it on the Demon Sword. She supported Hinata with one hand and extended the other hand. Purple energy flowed in her palm, and the Lightning Release that Izumi Saburo had used was absorbed by the purple energy as soon as it approached her. Then, the purple energy mixed with blue lightning chakra shot out from Sakura's palm and rushed towards Izumi Saburo.

"How is this possible? Ah..." Izumi Saburo widened his eyes, full of disbelief. However, the Lightning Release: Lightning Spear, enhanced by the Power Stone, was already at its fastest speed. When Izumi Saburo had just thought of dodging, the blue and purple lightning had already reached him.

The enhanced Lightning Release: Lightning Spear hit Izumi Saburo, causing him to scream in pain. After the lightning, the heavily injured Izumi Saburo faced another round of attacks.

"Eight Trigrams: Two Palms... Four Palms... Eight Palms... Sixteen Palms... Thirty-Two Palms... Eight Trigrams: Sixty-Four Palms..." Seeing his daughter in danger twice in a row, Hyuga Hiashi had completely entered a rampage state. He used a series of Eight Trigrams Palm techniques to hit Izumi Saburo into a floating state, and his body was lifted off the ground and hit by the entire set of Eight Trigrams Palm techniques.

When Hyuga Hiashi withdrew his palm, Izumi Saburo was already dead on the ground, with a suspicious smile on his face. "Oops, I acted impulsively..." Hyuga Hiashi's face changed, regretting his impulsiveness. Izumi Saburo was sent by the Cloud Village to sign a peace agreement, but now he was dead under the Eight Trigrams Palm of the Hyuga clan. Hyuga Hiashi could imagine that the Cloud Village would definitely use this as an excuse to cause trouble.

"Father... Father..." Hinata Hyuga, who had been released from the effects of the drug by the Hyuga clan ninja, woke up and looked confused when she found herself inexplicably in the forest.

"Hinata, are you injured? Are you scared? Daddy is here, don't be afraid..." Hyuga Hiashi, who had been serious, suddenly became a warm-hearted father. He used the Body Flicker Technique to run to Hinata's side, holding her hand and asking her questions.

"Father complex..." Sakura suddenly thought of this term. Hyuga Hiashi now looked like a complete father complex, without the disappointment towards Hinata's talent as in the original work. But it was not surprising, as Hizashi Hyuga had not committed suicide to protect him yet, and Hinata was only four years old and had not started practicing. Hyuga Hiashi naturally would not feel disappointed in Hinata's talent as in the original work.

However, this father complex state of Hyuga Hiashi really surprised Sakura.

Late at night, a group of people gathered in the Third Hokage's office. Third Hokage sat behind his desk smoking, while Hyuga Hiashi and Sakura Hinata stood in front of him.

"It seems that this time, the Cloud Village sent people not only to sign a peace agreement but also for the Byakugan of the Hyuga clan!" Third Hokage took a puff of smoke, his expression somewhat serious. "The most troublesome thing now is that they came to sign a peace agreement, but they died under the Eight Trigrams Palm of the Hyuga clan for no reason. With the character of the Cloud Village, they will definitely use this as an excuse to cause trouble!"

"If there is a war, the Hyuga clan will fully support Hokage-sama!" Hyuga Hiashi said coldly. He hated the idea that Hinata might be left with psychological trauma. He wanted to whip Izumi Saburo's body.

"The Third Great Ninja War has just ended not long ago. If there is another war..." Third Hokage felt a headache. In the end, he could only wave his hand. "Let's leave it at that for now. We'll have to see the attitude of the Cloud Village in the future!"

"Then, Third Hokage-sama, we'll go back first!" Sakura sat on the Demon Sword, dozing off from time to time. Beside her, Hinata Hyuga, who was equally curious about flying, sat on the Demon Sword.

"Well done, Sakura. If you hadn't discovered and delayed them in time, they might have kidnapped someone!" Third Hokage smiled. Kekkei Genkai was important in every ninja village, and Byakugan, which could be transplanted, was even more important. No one wanted the enemy village to obtain this Kekkei Genkai.

"Hiashi, you should go back first. I will convene the Elder Council to discuss the follow-up matters and inform you later!"

"Okay!" Hyuga Hiashi agreed and turned to Hinata, his face turning into a doting smile. "Hinata, let's go home with Daddy. Tomorrow, Daddy will take you to play with Sakura, okay?!"

"Okay, bye, Sakura-neesan!" Hinata said softly to Sakura and was led away by Hyuga Hiashi.

Seeing this, Sakura said goodbye to Third Hokage and controlled the Demon Sword to fly out of the window. This action made Third Hokage laugh silently, and he couldn't help but think of Jiraiya, his disciple who loved jumping out of windows.
