As soon as Uchiha En finished speaking, he vanished from his spot, and then the Second Elder's head flew into the air.
Following this, the Main Family members fell one after another, and soon Hyuga Hiashi was the only one left standing.
Hyuga Hiashi never imagined Uchiha En would actually dare to attack, and his speed was so fast that the Byakugan couldn't track him clearly; not even a single afterimage was caught.
From the moment Uchiha En made his move until only Hyuga Hiashi was left standing, less than 10 seconds had passed.
The Main Family members who came with Hyuga Hiashi accounted for half of the entire Main Family, and these people generally possessed Jonin level capability.
Just as Hyuga Chiwa had said, it was his talent that was too poor, not the Hyuga Main Family being useless.
Yet, so many Jonin had absolutely no power to fight back against Uchiha En, not even a chance to react.
Just as Uchiha En's nodachi was slashing toward Hyuga Hiashi's neck.
A Repulsive Force directly pushed Hyuga Hiashi away.
Uchiha En stopped his attack and turned to look at Asana, waiting for her explanation.
"En, that's enough! Stop! If you kill the Hyuga Clan Head now, all your painstaking efforts over this long time—your hard work to improve the Uchiha image in the Village—will be wasted.
I was right there when you talked to the Second Hokage. I know your ideals, and I don't want your ideals to fail because of me."
"If this path doesn't work, I have other paths," Uchiha En said.
"Those other paths will likely be much harder! I don't want to hold you back in this regard."
Uchiha En was silent for a moment before sheathing his nodachi. He turned to Hyuga Hiashi and said, "The Hyuga Clan's Main Family is lucky; you've saved your life. Hyuga Hiashi, if you disagree with this, you can go find the Third Hokage. I'll be waiting here."
Hyuga Hiashi remained silent for a moment before saying, "Asana, starting today, you are no longer a member of the Hyuga Clan. Please never return to the Hyuga Clan again. As for your parents and elder brother, if they wish to leave, you may take them with you."
Upon hearing this, Asana turned and went back inside the house, bringing out her parents and elder brother.
Asana summoned Lightning, instructing Lightning to take them to the Sound Village to seek refuge with Orochimaru.
"Asana, the Hyuga Clan's millennium-old system cannot change because of just one person. This is the maximum I can do. Go! Don't ever come back," Hyuga Hiashi said with a complicated expression.
Asana truly disliked the Hyuga Clan, but when the moment came to leave, a faint feeling of reluctance arose within her.
Uchiha En, who was standing nearby, saw this and immediately grasped Asana's hand: "Asana, since the Hyuga Clan doesn't want you, come home with me! From now on, my home is your home."
Asana nodded, allowing Uchiha En to lead her away from the Hyuga Clan.
Early the next morning, the Fourth Hokage Minato Namikaze and the Third Hokage Hiruzen Sarutobi both learned about the events that had occurred at the Hyuga Clan.
All the major clans also learned that Uchiha En had killed half of the Hyuga Main Family members in order to protect his former teammate.
Since the Hyuga Clan joined Konoha, the Main Family had never suffered such heavy casualties, and this incident caused a huge uproar among the various clans.
Among the common populace, however, there was little discussion about the matter; strictly speaking, few people even knew about it.
As one of Konoha's foremost noble clans, having been attacked in their own home, suffering the deaths of so many Main Family members, and then allowing the perpetrator to leave completely unharmed—Hyuga Clan members felt ashamed if this story got out, so naturally, it was impossible to publicize it widely.
The reason the major clans knew was that many of their members served in the Anbu, forming part of the Hokage's intelligence network.
Ordinary people lacked such intelligence networks, so the news naturally did not spread.
Uchiha En's feat of single-handedly holding back the Nine-Tailed during the Night of the Nine-Tails had already made the various clans of Konoha wary, and now he had slaughtered members of the Hyuga Main Family as if entering an uninhabited land. Now, all the clans unanimously recognized Uchiha En as the single most untouchable person in all of Konoha.
