Naruto: My Chill Life in the Hyuga Main House

"Who are you? When did Sunagakure produce a puppeteer like you?"

Facing the sudden arrival of Satori Hyūga descending from the sky, Sakumo Hatake's eyes remained cold as he pointed his legendary White Fang blade at him.

Sakumo never hesitated when facing enemies.

All his emotions and tenderness had already been given to the village and his beloved child, Kakashi Hatake.

Before enemies, all that remained was ruthless decisiveness.

The moment his oppressive aura surged forth, the leaves and branches of the surrounding dense forest came raining down, engulfed in an overwhelming wave of murderous intent.

Yet before this devastating blade pressure and murderous intent, Satori felt as if basking in a gentle spring breeze, his expression utterly unchanged.

He stood motionless on the treetop, becoming one with the forest itself until the murderous intent dissipated into nothingness.

Witnessing this, Sakumo felt a sinking feeling in his chest.

This opponent was no ordinary foe.

There were many puppeteers in Sunagakure, and he had killed quite a few.

But none like Satori—who could command so many puppets yet remain utterly composed in my presence—left him genuinely shocked.

Could it be this person possesses some special technique?

How could someone who looks so young wield such incredible power?

Watching the increasingly serious Sakumo, Satori's lips curled into a faint smile, his eyes glinting with eagerness.

"The Legendary White Fang of Konoha, a solid Kage-class powerhouse. Truthfully, I've never had the chance to fight someone of your caliber before."

"Today, I'll test your strength and see just how powerful a Kage-class warrior can be."

Everyone within the village had discussed Sakumo's strength extensively, though most were mere speculations.

Many believed Sakumo surpassed the strength of the Legendary Sannin of Konoha.

However, they had never actually fought, so no one knew who among them was stronger.

Now, Satori decided to personally test it out while the opportunity presented itself.

He thought Sakumo wouldn't mind—he came here to save the man's life, after all.

With a single leap, he pushed off powerfully with his legs, jumping straight from the treetops.

Twisting his waist, his body spun three hundred and sixty degrees midair before raising his right leg violently, like a whip crashing toward Sakumo.

His speed was blinding, and his fighting style was brutally aggressive and overwhelmingly dominant.

"A puppeteer from Sunagakure dares to engage me in close combat?"

Sakumo narrowed his eyes, releasing a torrent of fierce aura.

Lifting his arm, the White Fang blade flashed once, then became a blazing arc slicing toward Satori.

Blades shimmered coldly, flashing menacingly through the air.

A storm of razor-sharp blade force tore through the air, forming countless slashes sweeping toward Satori.

The gleaming arcs of blade force covered the sky, as if forming an inescapable net that closed in from all sides.

Faced with the attack from the White Fang's tanto, Satori remained calm. A surge of chakra erupted from his body, channeling into the airflow around his leg.

With a sharp whistle, the powerful burst shot from Satori's leg straight at Sakumo.

An attack without physical contact—an energy shockwave aimed to inflict damage purely through energy pressure.

Meeting this unusual assault, Sakumo's eyes flickered slightly as he swiftly sidestepped aside.

Boom!

Wherever the energy wave passed, violent gusts howled through the air.

The leg-born shockwave slammed into the ground, blasting a massive crater into the shattered earth.

Looking at the deep crater, Sakumo Hatake narrowed his eyes and grew serious.

He was no politician, but when it came to combat, he was undeniably a genius.

From that single strike alone, he could tell—his opponent wasn't just a puppeteer, but also a master of taijutsu.

Such an oppressive display of physical combat skill was something he thought only A and Killer B from Kumogakure could possibly match.

A casual blow capable of matching an A-ranked ninjutsu technique, packed with devastating offensive power.

Faced with such an enemy, even Sakumo couldn't help but become serious.

He fixed his gaze on Satori Hyūga, as though trying to carve his image into his very bones.

"It seems Sunagakure has someone like you. So this time, they've truly come to finish me off."

"But what matters most to ninjas is instinct and adaptability."

"Let's see… if you can withstand my attacks."

Sakumo tightly gripped the tanto in his hand, his aura growing deep and heavy like an abyss, all his might focused on the blade.

At this moment, he fully entered a state of battle readiness.

Posture upright, gaze sharp, he suddenly surged forward like a blade erupting from the earth toward the heavens, rushing toward Satori Hyūga.

His speed was lightning-fast, leaving only shadows in his wake; darting through the air, he left countless afterimages behind, instantly repositioning himself across multiple spots.

[White Fang Instant Death Slash].

One slash, and the enemy falls dead.

This was Sakumo's legendary technique—a fusion of the Hatake clan's swordsmanship and the Body Flicker Technique, a method of instantly killing an opponent.

His speed exceeded what an ordinary human eye could perceive—the moment he raised his blade was the moment his foe's head rolled.

Facing this dazzling strike, Satori felt his skin go cold and every hair on his body stand upright, as though sensing imminent danger.

Without hesitation or delay, Satori immediately awakened the Tenseigan and fully unleashed the Eight Gates.

In an instant,

Satori tracked the trajectory of the tanto slicing through the air, pinpointing its final destination—his throat.

For an average person, resistance would be impossible.

It was truly a perfect slash, making Satori give sincere praise.

"No wonder you're known as the White Fang of Konoha—your swordsmanship is peerless, terrifyingly powerful."

Even as he said so, however, he shattered the legend of the White Fang in two moves.

After opening the Eight Gates, an overwhelming chakra wave surged around him, disrupting the path of the White Fang's attack.

Then lightning crackled—Lightning Release: Eight Gates had fully activated.

Satori's physique visibly became more muscular and imposing, while his skin hardened like diamond.

Towering muscles bulged forth, with dense layers of veins twisting like the roots of ancient trees, rising up to meet the incoming blade.

He lifted his arm, palm open, aimed directly at the tanto's trajectory, and clenched his fist shut.

In an instant, his palm collided with the tanto, producing a sharp crackling sound as air friction erupted.

The White Fang's tanto carried both Lightning and Wind Release powers—its destructive force enhanced by lightning, and its piercing effect sharpened by wind.

But Satori's Lightning Release: Eight Gates was no pushover either. With cellular activation, his skin had become as hard as diamond.

The two forces clashed, releasing a thunderous shockwave.

After holding steady for a few breaths, the White Fang's tanto finally lost momentum and slowly began to falter.

After all, the White Fang Instant Death Slash depended on ultimate speed to unleash a devastating attack.

Once the speed was lost, its destructive power plummeted.

Feeling the resistance weaken, Satori Hyūga's eyes narrowed. With both hands, he suddenly yanked backward.

Disarming an opponent unarmed—only someone with immense skill and nerves of steel could pull it off.

His opponent was none other than Sakumo Hatake, a renowned swordsman.

Under normal circumstances, Satori had no chance of succeeding.

But Sakumo had reached his limit, whereas Satori's endless reservoir of strength and chakra allowed him to keep going without faltering.

"Let's see how you handle this."

With one final pull, the legendary White Fang's tanto was wrenched from his grasp into Satori's hands.
