Naruto: My Hiddden Village

Chapter 20: Fall of Karasuma



Venom ceased its movement and emerged onto the surface of the earth. The black chakra layer slowly melted away. Tsubasa exited first, followed by his three subordinates who were still lying unconscious. They were in a natural hollow among lush trees, a strategic hiding place on the outskirts of the Karasuma clan territory.

"Kyoya, Benkei, Ginga... wake up," Tsubasa whispered, gently shaking the shoulders of each of his subordinates.

Kyoya was the first to awaken. "Tsubasa-sama... have we arrived?" he asked in a hoarse voice.

"Yes. Wake the others," Tsubasa replied briefly, his eyes already focused on observing the surroundings.

Benkei, the large-bodied one, was the next to wake up, although still a bit dazed, followed by Ginga. After that, Tsubasa waited a moment, allowing them to fully awaken.

Once he saw that his three subordinates were ready, Tsubasa said, "Alright, listen to the plan one more time," he said, gathering the attention of his three subordinates.

Benkei stretched his burly muscles. "Yes, Tsubasa-sama!!" he exclaimed enthusiastically, his hands already clenched with spirit, although his voice was still a whisper, for fear of alerting the Karasuma clan.

Kyoya nodded calmly, his sharp eyes staring intently at Tsubasa. "Just tell us, Tsubasa-sama. We will follow your orders."

Ginga also added briefly and clearly. "Yes, Tsubasa-sama. We are ready."

Tsubasa smiled faintly at their readiness. "You three will remain outside the barrier. Your task is to ensure no intruders or reinforcements come from outside. If anyone tries to break in, incapacitate or kill them, understand?"

The three nodded in unison.

"Next, I will set up a barrier, then I will go in alone to face the Karasuma clan," Tsubasa continued, explaining the final part of his plan.

Benkei frowned. "Is Tsubasa really going in alone? Isn't that too dangerous? Or let one of us come with you to help!"

Tsubasa shook his head firmly. "No. This is my fight. You have your own tasks. Trust me, I can handle them."

Kyoya patted Benkei's shoulder. "Calm down, Benkei. We must trust in Tsubasa-sama's abilities. Our task here is also important."

Ginga nodded in agreement. "Yes, Benkei. We must focus on our respective tasks."

Benkei sighed heavily. "Alright, alright... but if Tsubasa-sama is in trouble, signal immediately! We will break in directly!"

Tsubasa smiled. "Don't worry. That won't happen."

The time showed midnight. The star-studded night sky and the gracefully hanging crescent moon silently witnessed their preparations. Silence enveloped the main headquarters of the Karasuma clan.

Only the sound of the night wind rustling gently through the leaves, creating a calm atmosphere that still held tension. The Karasuma clan headquarters looked peaceful and asleep in the darkness. The torch lights on guard duty seemed minimal, a far cry from the defensive fortress that had once troubled Tsubasa.

With his eyes closed, Tsubasa activated his perception ninjutsu. His sixth sense reached throughout the entire area of the Karasuma clan headquarters. He sensed faint chakra flows from the guards, their numbers far fewer than he had anticipated.

"They are truly unguarded," Tsubasa murmured inwardly, slightly surprised. "Have they already forgotten my actions back then?"

After ensuring the area was safe and free from detection, Tsubasa turned to face his three subordinates. "Are you ready?" he whispered.

Kyoya, Benkei, and Ginga nodded in unison.

"Good. Remember our plan. Don't be reckless. Stay alert," Tsubasa advised once more before finally stepping forward, leaving the hiding place.

As Tsubasa approached the Karasuma clan headquarters, he increasingly felt the laxity of their security. In the past, years ago, after he revisited following his infiltration to rescue Ozora, every corner felt watched, perception ninjas were everywhere, and the guards patrolled with high discipline. Now? Deathly silent. Too silent.

"It seems that embarrassing incident has truly been forgotten," Tsubasa thought cynically. "They think the incident back then won't happen again."

The Karasuma clan seemed to have truly forgotten the infiltration and Ozora's rescue incident. Perhaps because too much time had passed, or perhaps because they felt too strong and safe within their own territory. Whatever the reason, this laxity was a great advantage for Tsubasa.

"They have sown the seeds of their own destruction," Tsubasa whispered with a cold, faint smile. "And I am here to harvest them."

The Karasuma clan's lax security was not just an advantage, but also an open invitation to Tsubasa. They had underestimated the threat from outside, underestimated Tsubasa's abilities. Their arrogance would be their downfall.

"This will be much easier than I imagined," Tsubasa thought, planning his next move. "They don't even know what storm is about to hit them."

With firm and silent steps, Tsubasa moved deeper into the Karasuma clan territory. He stopped in a fairly spacious open area, right in front of the main gate of the headquarters. This was where the initial stage of his attack would begin.

He rechecked his ninja equipment, ensuring everything was ready. Special breathing apparatus to protect himself from the paralysis gas was already attached to his face and those of his three subordinates. Pouches containing paralysis gas and chakra, as well as seal scrolls, were ready for use.

"Time to start the show," Tsubasa murmured in a low but confident tone.

Tsubasa's hands moved quickly, forming a series of hand seals with high precision. Every finger movement, every hand fold, was executed perfectly, without the slightest flaw. The chakra within his body churned rapidly, like an overflowing river, ready to be channeled into the ground.

"Ingetsu Kekkai (Hidden Moon Barrier)," Tsubasa whispered, mentioning the name of his creation formation ninjutsu.

With a smooth motion, Tsubasa placed his right palm on the ground. At that moment, the tremendous chakra he had gathered flowed rapidly into the earth, activating the secret ninjutsu formation he had created.

An invisible ripple of energy spread quickly from the center point where Tsubasa's hand touched the ground. The energy formation expanded, enveloping the entire area of the Karasuma clan headquarters in a matter of seconds.

This protective formation was one of Tsubasa's masterpiece ninjutsu. A high-level barrier capable of withstanding attacks from Kage-level ninjas without budging in the slightest. Its specialty lay in its invisible nature, difficult to detect even by high-level sensor ninjas.

"Perfect," Tsubasa murmured in satisfaction, feeling the formation fully active. "They will never realize it."

Inside the headquarters, members of the Karasuma clan were completely unaware of what was happening. They felt no energy vibrations, saw no changes around them. The night still felt as calm and peaceful as previous nights. They did not know that their nest had been surrounded by an invisible barrier, ready to swallow them in chaos.

After ensuring the barrier formation was perfectly active, Tsubasa took out his reliable weapon: body and chakra paralysis gas. He broke a glass tube the size of a mineral water bottle containing a dark purple liquid, releasing thick purple smoke that began to spread slowly but surely.

The thick purple smoke moved slowly, following the direction of the cool night wind. It crept across the ground, seeping into every crack, every building in the Karasuma clan headquarters. Before long, the entire area began to fill with the deadly gas.

This paralysis gas not only paralyzed the body, but also had a unique effect that inhibited chakra flow. Ninjas who inhaled it would have difficulty controlling their chakra, even to simply use basic ninjutsu.

Tsubasa and his three subordinates had put on special breathing apparatus that they had prepared. The masks were equipped with filters capable of filtering out this gas, completely protecting them from the gas's deadly effects.

Tsubasa waited patiently, giving time for the paralysis gas to spread evenly throughout the Karasuma clan headquarters area. He observed the movement of the gas through his perception ninjutsu, ensuring no area was missed.

Once he was sure the gas had spread perfectly, Tsubasa signaled his three subordinates to remain on guard outside the barrier. He himself stepped forward, entering the area that had been surrounded by the formation, ready to face the Karasuma clan alone.

"It's time to repay all past debts," Tsubasa murmured, stepping into the invisible barrier.

Tsubasa entered the barrier cautiously, his perception fully active, scanning the situation inside the Karasuma clan headquarters. The air felt heavy and stuffy with paralysis gas, but the breathing apparatus protected him perfectly.

The scene Tsubasa saw matched his predictions. Many Karasuma clan members lay helpless on the ground, paralyzed and unable to move. Some of them were still trying to crawl, but their bodies were clearly powerless.

The paralysis gas worked effectively. Most of the Karasuma clan members were successfully paralyzed without causing direct casualties. This was in accordance with Tsubasa's plan: to conquer them, not slaughter them.

Tsubasa immediately moved quickly, utilizing the Kage Bunshin no Jutsu (Shadow Clone Technique) to speed up the conquest process. Dozens of Kage Bunshin appeared around him, each ready to carry out their task.

Each Kage Bunshin began to perform a series of special hand seals, preparing a chakra sealing ninjutsu inspired by the blood prison technique in the Naruto Shippuden Movie 5: Blood Prison. This technique would seal the chakra of the paralyzed Karasuma clan members, ensuring they could not fight back or use ninjutsu at all.

The Kage Bunshin moved systematically, from one Karasuma clan member to another. The sealing process went smoothly and without significant resistance. The Karasuma clan was truly powerless to face this sudden attack.

The Karasuma clan, once known for being strong and respected, was now completely paralyzed. Tsubasa's attack was too sudden, too perfect, and too deadly. They were completely unprepared to face a situation like this.

However, as Tsubasa focused on the process of sealing the Karasuma clan members, a sudden attack came from behind. Syuut! A figure dressed in black appeared with lightning speed, launching a powerful and deadly Taijutsu attack towards Tsubasa.

The Taijutsu attack was so fast and powerful, it could tear through the air around it. Punches and kicks were delivered in a deadly combination, targeting Tsubasa's vital points.

Tsubasa's instincts reacted quickly. Thanks to his rigorous training with Madara and Hashirama, his reflexes were trained above average. He managed to evade the sudden attack with trained reflex movements. Srak! The mysterious figure only hit empty air.

Tsubasa observed the attacking figure carefully. A middle-aged man wearing a face mask that covered most of his face. It was the mask that seemed to protect him from the effects of the paralysis gas, allowing him to move freely amidst the deadly gas siege.

However, as Tsubasa observed more closely, he realized something was strange about the masked figure's movements. Although fast and strong, his movements felt slightly stiff and not as agile as usual. He seemed to have a little difficulty controlling his chakra.

This meant the masked figure had also inhaled some paralysis gas, although not as much as the other Karasuma clan members. His face mask may only provide partial protection, not completely immune to the deadly gas.

Tsubasa recognized the aura and chakra of the masked figure. No mistake, he was the leader of the Karasuma clan, Karasuma Renge. The main enemy he had to defeat.

"So, you finally showed yourself, Karasuma Renge," Tsubasa murmured coldly.

Karasuma Renge was a strong and experienced ninja. His reputation as the leader of the Karasuma clan was undeniable. However, the effects of the paralysis gas inhibiting his chakra prevented him from unleashing his full power. This was an advantage for Tsubasa.

The battle between Tsubasa and Karasuma Renge was inevitable. The two engaged in a fierce and rapid Taijutsu battle. Punches, kicks, and elbows clashed at lightning speed. The sound of hard impacts echoed in the silence of the night.

Tsubasa, with his superior agility and fighting techniques from his training with Madara and Hashirama, was able to keep up with Karasuma Renge's attacks. His movements were agile and unpredictable, each attack targeted and deadly.

The paralysis gas worked even harder in Karasuma Renge's body. The longer he fought, the harder it became for him to control his chakra and movements. His speed and power began to decline, providing an opening for Tsubasa.

Tsubasa saw a gap in Karasuma Renge's defense. A golden opportunity to end the resistance of this Karasuma clan leader. He would not waste it.

With a quick and directed movement, Tsubasa unleashed his signature move: Rasengan. The blue chakra ball spinning violently hit Karasuma Renge's body squarely.

The Rasengan struck Karasuma Renge's chest with tremendous force, sending him flying far away and crashing to the ground hard. Karasuma Renge lay prostrate and helpless, his breath ragged, his eyes radiating pain and defeat.

Karasuma Renge was utterly defeated. He was unable to match Tsubasa's rapidly growing strength. Plus, the effects of the paralysis gas had paralyzed him completely, giving Tsubasa the opportunity to slam a Rasengan into his chest.

After their leader was defeated, there was no more significant resistance from the Karasuma clan. All clan members had been paralyzed and their chakra sealed. The conquest of the Karasuma clan headquarters was successfully completed without significant resistance.

Tsubasa's revenge mission against the Karasuma clan was perfectly accomplished. Without any casualties on either side. Tsubasa had proven his strength and avenged the humiliation of his past.

"This is not over yet," Tsubasa murmured, gazing at the prostrate Karasuma clan members. "We still have one more task."

Tsubasa ordered his Kage Bunshin to gather all the paralyzed Karasuma clan members. He would group the adult clan members and the children. For him, revenge did not mean slaughtering everyone indiscriminately. There were boundaries that must not be crossed.

While Tsubasa was 'fiercely battling' the Karasuma clan, a surprising but happy event occurred in the Valley laboratory. Inside the cloning tube filled with nutrient fluid, the figure of Takagami Ozora suddenly opened his eyes, as if just awakened from a long sleep.

Ozora's eyes, which were initially empty and listless, now radiated a light of new life. His soul and spirit seemed to be revived, although he looked confused by the situation he was facing.

Ozora blinked his eyes, looking around with a bewildered gaze. He did not understand why he was inside a tube, submerged in a strange liquid. However, behind the confusion, shone a spark of vibrant new life.

Ozora's awakening at this crucial moment may be a sign of the beginning of a new chapter in Tsubasa's and his Valley's life. It could be a breath of fresh air, a new hope in their long journey full of challenges.
