Night of Root Extermination Four
The fifteen members of the Root were divided into two groups, with fourteen in the front and Aburame Ryoma keeping a distance from the front to provide backup and cover.
The team rushed towards the entrance and soon encountered the enemy ahead.
A young ninja wearing a dark blue Uchiha robe, wielding a long sword, also moved swiftly.
A member of Root named Bones is the second-in-command of Tatsuma Squad. Bones, a Root ninja, grips the long sword on his back with his right hand, gathers Chakra at his feet, and bursts forth with extremely fast speed.
"Flash Cut!"
Bite!
Bone's swift Body Flicker Slash was blocked by the attacker's longsword. Two Root members behind him coordinated and charged forward with a similarly Body Flicker Slash.
The remaining twelve members did not rush forward at once, but immediately dispersed and formed a circle around the group.
The support from his teammates behind him did not bring him comfort. A sense of danger welled up within him, a feeling that had saved his life many times during his years of fighting.
Bone mobilizes Chakra, forming a hand Hand Seals with his left hand.
Bone's actions proved to be correct; Root's tactical encirclement had just been formed, and the young man's scarlet eyes flickered with red light.
"Chidori Current!"
As the two Root members who were assisting the captain in launching their slashes were about to strike, electricity surged around the enemy.
Sizzle! Sizzle! Sizzle!
A chaotic burst of electricity erupted and splashed out, like a serpent of lightning, transforming the area within twenty meters into a lightning inferno, engulfing all the Root members surrounding him.
"Drink it!"
Uchiha Ruofeng's eyes flashed with an eerie red light, his face becoming increasingly ferocious. He gripped his Ninja Sword tightly in his right hand, and the sound of his left fist cracking could be heard as he clenched it, showing how tense his entire body was and how much Chakra was channeling.
The area of the lightning inferno expanded rapidly, with violent lightning bursts extending for tens of meters. Centered on Ruofeng, currents shot out and surged wildly within a radius of hundreds of meters!
"Ugh!"
"Wow!"
Crackle!
Ruofeng was surrounded by violent electric currents within a hundred meters. The fifteen Root members who were ordered to eliminate the intruders were almost wiped out instantly, except for Bones, who reacted quickly and escaped by using Substitution Technique.
Under this terrifying Ninjutsu, the others had no time to react. Even those who reacted quickly could not escape such a large area. Almost all the ninjas surrounding Ruofeng were turned into charred remains, dying under this terrifying lightning inferno within a hundred-meter radius.
The shrewd escaped, but his expression was grave. He was very familiar with the Uchiha Clan's Lightning Release: Chidori style Ninjutsu. Being able to spread lightning ten meters was considered a high level of skill, but this kind of technique, covering a hundred meters, was something he had never encountered before.
The other Root members' Body Flicker Technique and Substitution Technique were unable to dodge such a wide-range Ninjutsu, and they all perished. Only he himself reacted quickly, Substitution Technique to fly into the air to avoid the electric current, and then repeatedly used Body Flicker Body Flicker Technique to escape the terrifying range of lightning.
As soon as the bone landed, his hands quickly Hand Seals, and the Ninjutsu was formed in an instant.
"Genjutsu: Bringer-of-Darkness Technique!"
He is skilled in Earth Style and Genjutsu, but Earth Style is countered by Lightning Release, so he can only fight his enemies using Genjutsu.
The Chakra fluctuations emanating from the skeleton spread outwards, and darkness, like the flapping of wings, enveloped the area within a hundred meters in front of it, causing the enemy to lose sight of it.
With everyone in front dead, Aburame Ryoma had been providing cover from the rear, revealed himself and fired Kunai at Uchiha Ruofeng while simultaneously Hand Seals.
"Ninja Art: Shuriken Giant Body Technique!"
What was originally Shuriken of half a palm has become the size of a millstone, and the short Kunai has become the size of a giant sword.
"The Red Ogre said there were two intruders at the entrance? What about the other one...?"
Ryoma saw that Bones' Genjutsu had succeeded, but his tension did not ease. He knew that there was more than one enemy, and the scale of the Ninjutsu of the enemy before him was clearly greater than that of the one inside.
Ruofeng noticed the darkness enveloping him, and his hands quickly Hand Seals. A split second before the darkness enveloped him, Ruofeng's Sharingan spotted the person behind him.
From the Sharingan's perspective, the distribution nodes of Chakra within that person's body were covered with numerous dense black dots. This person's Chakra belonged to a ninja that Ruofeng had etched into his mind, a ninja he could never forget.
"Aburame Ryoma! Fire Style: Great Dragon Fire Technique!"
Darkness enveloped him, Ruofeng lost his sight. However Ruofeng had abundant Chakra and roared out the name of Aburame Ryoma, unleashing a powerful Fire Style Ninjutsu.
The Great Dragon Fire Technique is a B-rank Ninjutsu, and most of them are shaped like a dragon's head. However, the one that Uchiha Ruofeng used was a complete fire dragon that was nearly ten meters thick and about seventy or eighty meters long.
The fire dragon coiled and swirled around him, hindering the giant ninja tool from moving. The tool coiled around the fire dragon and followed its movement, failing to achieve its intended effect.
Although Uchiha Ruofeng had lost his sight, he was extremely unsettled.
"Roar!"
Ruofeng maintained the Tiger Seal with both hands, and the fire dragon roared and rushed forward swiftly.
Ruofeng's fire dragon attack wasn't over yet. His Chakra surged wildly, Ruofeng again:
"Aburame Ryoma! I will never forget your Chakra in this lifetime!"
With Uchiha Ruofeng's roar, Susanoo shape, its skeleton growing flesh and blood, its body growing taller, transforming into a blue giant of light.
The giant of light surged with Chakra once more, and a thick suit of armor appeared, enveloping the giant of light. The half of its Susanoo reached a height of over fifty meters, making it a colossal creature.
Bone's mastery of Earth Style was considerable. Seeing the rapidly charging fire dragon, he remained fearless, quickly Hand Seals, and a massive earthen wall rose rapidly from the ground.
"Earth Style: Earth Style: Earth Formation Wall!"
The Earth Style: Earth Formation Wall were very thick and tall, and cracked in the center as soon as they were formed.
Boom!
The Earth Style: Earth Formation Wall cracked for less than two seconds before it exploded with a loud bang. Bone and Aburame Ryoma dodged to the side and retreated. The Earth Style: Earth Formation Wall was hit by the fire dragon and exploded, shattering into pieces, with hard soil and scorching lava flying everywhere.
Fortunately, the Earth Style: Earth Formation Wall blocked most of the fire dragon's power, and the two easily dodged the subsequent earth shards. The field was filled with thick gray-black smoke from the explosion.
Aburame Ryoma and Kotori appeared, standing outside the smoke and dust.
Aburame Ryoma was puzzled; he was wearing a mask, so why was the person opposite him calling his name?
"Have you fought this person during the mission?"
Aburame Ryoma, his face hidden by the mask, frowned. He then recalled that he had carried out numerous high-level missions and killed many important people, yet he seemed to have never left any trace or evidence. There was no reason for this person to resent him so much.
"This is..."
As the smoke gradually dissipated, Aburame Ryoma and Root member Kotsu stared blankly at the terrifying blue giant about sixty meters tall in front of them. The giant's head even reached the top of the towering base. The two men's mouths were slightly open, their expressions blank.
The two Root masters were already very familiar with Susanoo. The one in front of them was not Uchiha Shisui's green, but clearly belonged to another Uchiha Clan Mangekyō Sharingan master. Moreover, the size of this Susanoo was much, much larger than the Shisui used.
In a short while, Ruofeng's Chakra broke the Genjutsu and restored his vision.
A colossal Susanoo -armored warrior, its Chakra surging violently, a thirty-meter-long sword materializing in its right hand. The giant's left hand extends out, nine Tomoe spinning in its palm, radiating an aura of destruction.
"Yasaka Magatama...?"
Aburame Ryoma and Root member Kotsu watched this scene and murmured to themselves. When they fought Uchiha Shisui before, the Susanoo's Yasaka Magatama was Uchiha Ninjutsu that Root had recorded as invincible.
"Aburame Ryoma! Prepare to die!"
Ruofeng infused his left hand with most of his Chakra, Yasaka Magatama Aburame Ryoma.
Aburame Ryoma stared blankly at the blue giant before him, who resembled a demon god, and the terrifying Chakra ball spinning towards them. Faced with such Ninjutsu, the two felt despair and lost their will to fight.
Hearing the other person's hysterical roar and the resentment they harbored towards him, Aburame Ryoma finally remembered the other person's identity before he died.
Boom!
