Yagyu was a very reasonable person.
Since Kaguya Masara wanted to fight head-on, Yagyu would give him head-on.
A hard palm landed on a hard face. Even with the thickness of Kaguya Masara's skin, he felt some pain.
Kaguya Masara's body flew backward like a cannonball, slamming into the wall of the Kaguya compound with a loud thud.
The Kaguya clansmen fell into a brief silence, their expressions suggesting they were doubting reality.
Their incredibly powerful Clan Leader was sent flying just like that?
"Damn it!"
Kaguya Masara climbed up from the ground, roaring at Yagyu in rage.
"Don't get so excited."
"Although I fulfilled your wish, there's no need to be this emotional."
Yagyu looked at Kaguya Masara with a 'kindly' face, his mocking voice making Masara even angrier.
Kaguya Iwa, the Grand Elder of the Kaguya clan, shouted righteously at this moment, "Yagyu, did you come here just to provoke our Kaguya clan?"
Yagyu picked his ear and said casually, "Am I provoking you? I think I've been quite nice to you!"
"Clan Leader Kaguya wanted to fight head-on, and I considerately fulfilled his request."
"But what about him? Look. He punched a hole through my body, and it hasn't recovered yet!"
"This is a fatal injury, you know! If your Kaguya clan doesn't compensate me a few hundred million ryo, this isn't over!"
Yagyu pointed to his chest, where a large hole glowing with golden light remained—the mark left by Kaguya Masara.
"Bastard!"
"You're picking a fight!"
"Damn it!"
The three elders of the Kaguya clan shouted in anger simultaneously.
"Kill him!"
Kaguya Masara roared, charging at Yagyu without hesitation.
A bone emerged from Kaguya Masara's hand, which he used as a weapon to slash at Yagyu.
Pfft!
Yagyu's body was sliced in two by Kaguya Masara. His upper body flew into the air and smashed toward Masara.
"Ooh, scary!"
"You chopped my body in half! As expected of the Kaguya Clan Leader."
"Crash! I'm going to crash into you!"
Yagyu shouted exaggeratedly as Masara struck him several more times, turning his upper body into strips.
"So brutal!"
Yagyu's upper body turned into light particles and reassembled with his lower body.
"The legendary ability, the Kaguya clan's Kekkei Genkai—Shikotsumyaku (Dead Bone Pulse)!"
"Truly an excellent ability. Thank you for opening my eyes."
"Next, let me show you my ability!"
"This is a magnificent masterpiece. Open your eyes wide and watch closely!"
Yagyu's voice dropped an octave. His body moved, transforming into light, and in the blink of an eye, he appeared in front of Kaguya Masara.
"Luminescence—Technique of Blinding Dog Eyes!"
Yagyu put his hands in his pockets, and infinite golden light bloomed from his body. It was as if a second sun had appeared on the spot.
"My eyes! My eyes!"
"Closing them doesn't work! It stings so much!"
"Turn around!"
...
Many Kaguya clansmen found that even closing their eyes couldn't block the intense light right in front of them. The piercing golden light stung their eyes through their eyelids.
Helpless, they all turned around to avoid further damage to their eyes.
"Turned around?"
"Everyone turned around for me? I'm so moved!"
Yagyu raised his hand but ultimately lowered his finger.
Using the Thousand Years of Death... didn't befit his status.
"Bastard, die!"
Just as Yagyu was lamenting, a man wearing sunglasses charged out from the Kaguya compound, wielding a bone blade and slashing at Yagyu.
Yagyu looked surprised. Another Shikotsumyaku awakener?
"No, just a special weapon."
Yagyu shook his head and casually raised his long leg.
The golden light on his body converged, gathering all at his heel and transforming into a constantly rotating cross-shaped flash.
"Speed is weight!"
"Young Kaguya ninja!"
"Have you ever been kicked at the speed of light?"
With a swing of his long leg, the Kaguya ninja who had just rushed in front of Yagyu was kicked flying.
"Kigou!"
The Kaguya ninjas facing away from Yagyu saw their comrade being kicked flying and cried out involuntarily.
"You damn..."
The ninjas of the Kaguya clan glared ferociously at Yagyu, their eyes filled with killing intent.
"What kind of look is that? Are you trying to eat me?"
"Knowing you might become enemies with me, yet you didn't even prepare sunglasses for everyone?"
"With this level of intelligence... if not for the protection of Kirigakure, you would have been tricked into becoming cannon fodder long ago."
Yagyu sighed faintly. It was a miracle the Kaguya clan had survived this long.
"Kid, don't look down on people too much!"
"Even with our eyes closed, we of the Kaguya clan can still fight."
"Don't think you're invincible. Let me..."
Kaguya Masara tore a strip of cloth from his clothes and wrapped it around his head, covering his eyes.
Perhaps feeling that eyelids weren't insurance enough, he added a layer of fabric to block the intense light.
Yagyu watched all this with a blank expression. Seeing Kaguya Masara's stance of fighting him with eyes closed, he sighed faintly.
He raised his hand, golden light blossoming at his fingertip.
Amidst the rotating cross-shaped golden light, a thick laser beam pierced through Kaguya Masara's body.
"A bunch of fools!"
"If you persist in your stubbornness, I won't be polite with you."
"Either obediently follow the village's orders from now on, or I will break your spines today."
Yagyu's expression turned cold as his gaze swept grimly over the group of Kaguya clansmen before him.
"Kill!"
"Avenge the Clan Leader!"
"Make him pay!"
Seeing Kaguya Masara fall backward facing the sky, the Third Elder of the Kaguya clan flew into a rage, unhesitatingly calling on everyone to attack.
"Really hard-headed, aren't you?"
"As expected of the brain-dead clan that staged a rebellion with just a single clan's power in the original story. Since that's the case..."
Yagyu looked blankly at the Kaguya ninjas before him. His body transformed into light particles and soared into the air. "Yasakani no Magatama (Eight Shaku Curved Jewel)!"
