Chapter 209: Invasion of the Hyuuga Clan

Shikamaru slowly walked towards his goal, catching the surprised looks of every oncoming passer-by. Still, it is not often possible to notice how some unknown type without any identification marks, except for various tattoos in different parts of the body, calmly dragged Chūnin along the ground, leaving a long trail on the dirty ground. Although, in fact, not even the ninja tried to stop Shikamaru, for some reason neither of them could dare to question him about the situation. Even without any pressure, the sight and face of Shikamaru made people feel insecure inside.

Thanks to such an imposing presence, he calmly made his way to the gates of the Hyuuga Quarter without facing even one just hero. It looks like, apart from Might Guy and Rock Lee, no one in this village wants to fight for justice! True, having reached the quarter of this clan, at last at least someone appeared before him. The two Hyuugas, just by the amount of their chakra, Shikamaru immediately realized that they were barely stronger than his new acquaintance.

- What did you do?!

- Nerumi! What the heck?! Who are you?!

With cold expressions, two guys in their twenties were already preparing to use force. But, they quickly stopped, feeling some kind of mental uncertainty. As if their instincts told them not to act too rashly. They only had enough of one kind of miserable state of their comrade: all in dust and dirt, disheveled and unconscious. They did not even pay attention to the fact that he was not injured at all and was quite healthy.

- Let him go! Shouted the guy with the white scarf, whom Shikamaru mentally nicknamed Hyuuga A.

The second shouted even more menacingly:

- Get your hands off your brother or I'll cut them off for you! - Hyuuga B growled angrily.

“Here you go,” Shikamaru calmly tossed the body of his temporary friend to this funny couple.

- Crap!

- Catch!

As soon as they grabbed his comrade's body, Hyuuga A exhaled with relief:

- I fell a little, damn it ...

- Yeah, - Hyuuga B nodded: - Damn bastard, but I ...

Two pairs of eyes returned to Shikamaru, but in the same place that was no longer there, he calmly walked around this loud couple and entered the territory of their clan.

"Yeah, this time is different from the past ..." Closing his eyes for a moment, Shikamaru smiled contentedly.

"And here is Hinata, it looks like I'm just in time" - he just took a step forward, when suddenly two familiar silhouettes appeared in front of him.

- Wow, did you quickly leave your friend?

- You come with us! Surrender your weapons immediately!

- We will not joke, one wrong move and we ...

Shikamaru interrupted with a laugh.

- Are you completely stupid? Your friend is not stronger than the two of you, and you want to stop me? I wish you good luck, - the guy grinned and turned and went to the left. He didn't want to waste time with these two masochists. But, he suddenly stopped and took a step back with a slight sneer:

- How smart ...

At the same place, a silhouette of another shinobi appeared. Now he was a middle-aged adult man, in a kimono, without a protector. By the amount of chakra, Shikamaru immediately realized that this type is not so simple.

- Jonin? So it would be right away, - the guy smiled, looking at the counter of this Hyuuga D. He struck with his palm, wanted to take Shikamaru by surprise, but he only hit the air. Even from his surprised face, one could tell that he did not expect this in any way.

Regaining his composure, the man tucked his hands into his long sleeves and nodded grimly.

- Not so bad. Who are you? Why did you enter our territory?

`` Master Elder, this man ... '' Hyuuga and his friend quickly reached this slightly gray Jinin and tried to explain everything, but he only nodded in mid-sentence:

- Enough, I understood everything. Now I want to hear everything from him. Why are you ... - but the elder frowned sharply as soon as Shikamaru turned around and walked somewhere further with a calm gait. He quickly got bored with this crazy conversation. The Hyuuga may be a noble clan, but that does not mean that their territory is inviolable to him. In the world of shinobi, the strong decides where to go and does not care about any laws created by killers teaching their children to kill. Therefore, Shikamaru was indifferent to both the elders and some Jonin with an insignificant chakra. He was only interested in Hinata and, if not for a simple desire to meet again, Shikamaru could have been more ruthless. He was one of those who do not come by invitation, one who comes on his own and according to his own rules. If such a rude Chūnin was sent to him, then this is already a Hyuuga problem.

When the boy ignored him, the elder finally lost his temper, he pulled his hands out of his sleeves and moved abruptly. Of course, Shikamaru was just waiting for this, he was not going to let this old man go unpunished after trying to harm him. The Hyuuga's pride is so predictable. They were like savages, always used an instructive palm strike for the younger generation ... Shikamaru only came to talk, but since everything turned into a fight, he was ready to show a huge gap in their abilities!

The elder's abrupt movement was followed by a long, slashing palm strike, while Shikamaru continued his forward movement. It was then that a blow landed in his stomach. A dull clap swept across the area, the guy raised an eyebrow in bewilderment and looked down at this Hyuuga. He stood in a typical bent stance of Gentle Fist, completely not understanding why his blow had no effect on this insolent boy. His fear was now growing with visible force, reflected in the rapidly pale face. This was the first time this man had attacked something so hard! He wanted to scream at the top of his lungs!

Shikamaru, of course, felt this slap and a drop of weak chakra, but for his solid body, it was no more tickling. The Hyuugas can practice their style as much as they want, but they do not use chakra-enhanced power, and without this their punches are no more than a girl's slaps in the face. Injury internal organs? Not with such a weak chakra!

- Are you finished? - Shaking his head in disappointment, Shikamaru sighed ... Only the next moment the battle completely changed! A terrible clap swept through the entire block, and then a crash was heard. Confident in his superiority, the elder did not expect that the most terrifying blow in his life would come to his chest, completely turning all his ribs into dust. One palm of Shikamaru damaged all the chakrakanals of the enemy, damaging his organs and bones, leaving him in a half-dead state. After this one exchange, this elder will remain disabled, even if Princess Senju herself patches him.

Flying in a bent position for a hundred meters, the elder drew the ground with his blood and smashed several dojos to pieces. Finally landing at the main Hyuuga residence, he was stopped in time by Hiashi.

- Kha ... - only coughing up blood, the elder's clouded eyes rolled back, and he abruptly passed out. At this important meeting of the clan, it was intermittently incredible incident. A serious enemy has infiltrated the Hyuuga clan! Anxiety has been raised!
