"Damn it! Shit!"The Jonin from the Uchiha clan was getting increasingly frustrated. He stared at Hayato, who looked like he was getting stronger by the second.
What made it worse was that Hayato's attacks were becoming more and more savage, making it harder for the Uchiha to dodge—hell, even counterattacking was turning into a nightmare.
Suddenly, the Jonin's eyes changed. The once-black irises turned blood red, and three black tomoe appeared inside. It was the legendary three-tomoe Sharingan.
"Sharingan!"The Uchiha Jonin turned his head toward the raging Hayato and used the Sharingan to cast a genjutsu. Everyone knew how powerful the Sharingan was—especially when it came to genjutsu.
Even though this wasn't the Mangekyō Sharingan, just a regular three-tomoe version, it was still terrifyingly strong.
The genjutsu took effect almost instantly. With a loud boom, Hayato charged up to the Jonin, raised both of his massive fists high—and then froze.
"That's the Sharingan!""Damn, that's impressive. No wonder the Sharingan's so famous.""Classic Uchiha!"
Even the Anbu and other clan members watching from a distance were in awe. After all, the Hulk-like monster that Hayato had become was so powerful that even Jonin didn't dare face him head-on. But now? The moment the Sharingan came into play, he was instantly locked down.
The Uchiha Jonin let out a relieved sigh. That giant green freak had been way too strong. Thank god for the Sharingan and its powerful genjutsu. He tilted his head up a little and casually wiped the sweat off his forehead—
BAM!
Hayato's massive fists suddenly came crashing down.
Just as the Uchiha Jonin lifted his hand to wipe away the sweat, Hayato's two huge fists slammed down on his head.
BAM!
His skull exploded like a water balloon.
And Hayato didn't stop there—his fists kept going.BOOM! In the blink of an eye, the man who was standing there turned into nothing but a pile of bloody meat paste.
"ROOOAAARRRR!!"
Hayato let out a sky-shaking howl.
Transformed into the Hulk, he'd completely lost his mind. He was nothing more than a raging beast now. But the thing was, being the Hulk meant genjutsu and all those mental attacks were totally useless on him.
Actually, worse than useless—they just made him even angrier. More brutal. More out of control.
No one had seen that coming. Hayato smashing the Uchiha Jonin into meat paste left everyone stunned.The Anbu and other clan ninjas had thought the situation was already handled.
But in a flash, the Hulk they assumed had been locked down had literally crushed the guy who was controlling him. The whole thing flipped their world upside down.
Some of them couldn't help but let out awkward chuckles.Serves the Uchiha right for acting all high and mighty—thinking the Sharingan could handle a monster like that. In the end? Turned into meat paste.
The Anbu and the others exchanged glances and—without even needing to speak—charged in.If the Uchihas couldn't take this monster down but they could? That would be one hell of a slap in the Uchiha clan's face. And yeah, they were more than happy to deliver it.
After finishing off the Uchiha Jonin, Hayato's mind slowly started to come back. His massive three-meter-tall body began to shrink bit by bit, and even the green skin started to fade.
But right then—the surrounding ninjas rushed in.
"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"Kunai, shuriken, even massive shuriken flew through the air, clanging and slicing as they hit.
Some hit Hayato but bounced right off, unable to pierce that thick green skin. But a few—just a few—managed to land. With Hayato's rage fading, his transformation started to weaken, and some of the attacks finally made it through, stabbing into his flesh.
"Nice! Keep going!"Seeing that their weapons could actually hurt him now, the attackers got fired up and doubled down.
"Eight Trigrams: Sixty-Four Palms!""Leaf Great Whirlwind!"
"RAAAAAAGH!!"A furious roar erupted from Hayato's throat. His body, which had just started to return to normal, bulked back up instantly. He transformed back into an even more ferocious version of the Hulk. His body shot up past four meters tall. His fists grew even larger.
With a blood-curdling yell, he slammed them down hard.
BOOM!
Two more puddles of meat paste appeared—one was an Anbu ninja, and the other was a member of the Hyūga clan who had just unleashed the Sixty-Four Palms.
