The five or six Jonin from Root were overjoyed when they saw Ye Fan heading towards a secluded area.
They had been wondering how to kill Ye Fan without a trace, and Ye Fan had unexpectedly provided them with an opportunity. It was like someone bringing you a pillow when you were falling asleep!
The leading Root Jonin made a gesture, signaling the other five to follow.
"Be quiet, don't let Ye Fan find you. Lord Danzo said his strength is considerable, so we must be cautious and absolutely leave no evidence."
"Oh, he's just a little brat, how strong can he be? Killing him will be as easy as pie. Lord Danzo is worrying too much."
One of the Jonin rolled his eyes and said indifferently, not taking Ye Fan seriously at all.
His words were clearly approved by the others.
They had brought six Jonin this time and couldn't imagine how they could possibly lose.
Although they didn't say it out loud, they still felt Danzo was making a mountain out of a molehill, after all, they were only dealing with a single brat participating in the Chunin Exam.
This thought was shared by all of them, including the leader.
However, he still reminded them, "Ye Fan is the disciple of Jiraiya, one of the legendary Sannin, and a descendant of the Uchiha clan. We must not be careless."
"Heh, Captain, he's just an Uchiha without a Kekkei Genkai.
Even if he has the Sharingan, what of it? Under absolute strength, he'll just be crushed by us!"
"You're worrying too much. Let's finish the mission quickly and leave. I don't want to waste too much time on such a low-level mission."
This sentiment resonated with the others, and they all quickened their pace in unison.
"Two groups? Is the other group the Anbu directly under the Hokage?"
Ye Fan, walking towards the secluded area, sensed another group of people.
"Heh, it seems the Third Hokage really can't stand me and wants to make a move on me too?"
"Since you've come, you'll all stay here!"
Ye Fan looked around and saw a waterfall cascading down not far away. He thought to himself:
"The scenery here is quite nice. I'll make it the burial ground for all of you!"
Within two breaths, Ye Fan arrived at the foot of the waterfall and then turned his head to look at the large tree not far away.
The six Root Jonin hiding in the tree saw this and smirked, "It seems he's discovered us!"
Knowing they had been found, they decided to stop hiding and walked out openly.
"Ye Fan, you shouldn't have come back. If you hadn't, perhaps you could have survived a few more years."
The leader had his hands in his pockets, his words carrying a chilling aura.
"Stop wasting your breath with him. He's just an Uchiha without a Kekkei Genkai. The sooner you kill him, the sooner I can go back to my nap!"
The Jonin who spoke had a blade of grass in his mouth, his eyes filled with disdain.
Hearing this, Ye Fan felt speechless.
He was truly fed up with these guys. I'm a Saiyan, and everyone I meet says I don't have a Kekkei Genkai!
Is a Kekkei Genkai that amazing?
No matter how amazing a Kekkei Genkai is, can it compare to my Saiyan bloodline?
"Ptooey!"
The man spat the grass onto the ground and quickly formed hand seals.
"Water Style: Water Prison Jutsu!"
"Water Style: Water Dragon Bullet Technique!"
The two Ninjutsu were almost instantaneous!
In an instant, a water prison appeared out of nowhere, restraining Ye Fan.
On the other side, a water dragon with a ferocious aura rapidly charged towards Ye Fan.
With a large waterfall nearby, the power of these two Ninjutsu was greatly amplified.
"Finished, let's pack up!"
Seeing Ye Fan so easily trapped by the water prison, the man instantly felt bored.
The other Root Jonin, seeing the water dragon already charging at Ye Fan, also felt it was too uninteresting.
They hadn't even made a move yet!
None of the six Root Jonin believed Ye Fan could withstand this attack!
"This might be the easiest mission we've ever done!"
Two of the Root Jonin had already turned around, preparing to leave the area.
"Wood Style: Wood Locking Wall!"
Just as the water dragon was about to hit Ye Fan, Ye Fan was suddenly enveloped and protected by blocks of wood.
The water dragon, carrying a terrifying force, crashed into the Wood Locking Wall with a whoosh, being completely blocked!
"Wood Release? Did Yamato arrive? Could it be that the Anbu aren't here to kill me, but to protect me?"
For a moment, Ye Fan was confused. He couldn't understand why the Third Hokage would send Anbu to protect him.
The Anbu were directly under the Hokage, and no one other than the Hokage could command them.
"Could it be that Jiraiya went to see the Third Hokage?"
Ye Fan guessed in his heart, then smiled and shook his head, "Jiraiya, you're always like this!"
Over the years of traveling with Jiraiya, Ye Fan had found more than once that Jiraiya was secretly protecting him.
"Perhaps, I can also be the Child of Prophecy in your heart..."
As soon as this thought crossed his mind, Ye Fan dismissed it.
The most pressing matter was to revive his parents. He didn't want to deal with world peace for now.
Ye Fan's parents in this life had died for him, and Ye Fan didn't want to owe them too much.
"Tenzo?"
In the entire Konohagakure, besides Tenzo, no one else could use Wood Release!
They knew very well that Tenzo was an Anbu.
Tenzo's appearance meant that the assassination of Ye Fan might be exposed.
If that happened, their mission would be a complete failure!
Danzo had explicitly instructed them before they left not to leave any traces behind!
"Only three Anbu members came. Kill them all!"
The leader of the Root squad quickly made a decision.
To complete their mission successfully, they would do anything.
In their eyes, the mission was everything, including their own lives!
"Wood Style: Four Pillars Prison Jutsu!"
Tenzo attacked first, and a cage made of wood rose from the ground, trapping a Root Jonin who couldn't escape in time.
Then, Tenzo unleashed another Wood Style: Thorn Kill Jutsu.
Wooden bars appeared within the cage, binding the Jonin completely.
Seeing their comrade restrained, the Root Jonin immediately attacked Tenzo with Water Style, Fire Style, and Earth Style ninjutsu.
The remaining two Anbu members joined the fight.
The two of them cooperated with Tenzo's Wood Release, fighting against a larger number of enemies.
Although they were outnumbered, the power of Wood Release gave them the upper hand.
"Ye Fan, you go first. Leave this to us," Tenzo shouted.
Ye Fan stood in place, watching Tenzo continuously use Wood Release, and chuckled, sighing, "It's really the First Hokage's Wood Release conquering the world, and Yamato's Wood Release doing landscaping!"
The power of Tenzo's Wood Release was indeed vastly different from that of the First Hokage, Hashirama Senju!
"You want to leave? Impossible!"
A Root ninja broke through the Wood Release with Fire Style and attacked Ye Fan.
Ye Fan stretched lazily. He had watched enough of the show. He raised his hand and threw a punch at the Root Jonin!
