Thud!
Aburame Torune crashed heavily to the ground, clutching his chest with his left hand, but he could not stop the blood from flowing.
"Scorch Release..."
"Adamantine Chains..."
"Nine-Tails Chakra..."
Aburame Torune muttered weakly, his pupils gradually losing focus.
Uzumaki Naruto... So it had been him...
After leaving Root,
Uzumaki Naruto raced through the night and soon arrived deep within a dark forest.
Part of Uzumaki Naruto's skin had turned purple, and the toxic aura around him was so potent that even insects approaching him were poisoned to death.
"Kurama, come on..."
Uzumaki Naruto took a deep breath. His body gradually changed, his skin turning blood-red as six tails continuously lashed behind him.
He had abruptly transformed from a human into a tailed beast.
This was the method Uzumaki Naruto had come up with.
Aburame Torune's nanoscale venom insects were terrifying. As long as they touched someone, they would die as the cells inside their body were destroyed.
But that only applied to humans.
Tailed beasts were different. Their bodies were made of chakra.
After transforming into a tailed beast, Uzumaki Naruto could clearly feel the poison in his body gradually disappearing. Before long, his body had completely recovered.
"Whew, that was lucky..."
Uzumaki Naruto let out a breath, a smile appearing on his face.
Still, he had won in the end.
Root.
Shimura Danzō stared at Aburame Torune's ashes with a livid expression.
"Aburame Torune... Damn it!!!"
Danzo's eyes were bloodshot, his expression as though he wanted to devour someone alive. He slammed a fist into the wall.
This had been one of his right-hand men. Even Danzo himself had not dared touch the poison in his body. He had been one of Danzo's greatest trump cards.
And yet, he had died silently in Root.
Not only
