Yun Xi's Fury!

After returning home, Yun Xi placed Pikachu on the ground.

After resting for a while, Pikachu's stamina had recovered slightly.

It stood right by Yun Xi's feet, a stark contrast to its initial resistance toward him.

"Who sent you?" Yun Xi swept his cold gaze across the scene before asking the Root Division Jonin in front of him icily.

Seemingly feeling the immense pressure radiating from Yun Xi, the several Root Division ninjas nearby swallowed hard instinctively.

Then, one slowly replied, "Don't be impulsive, kid. It is Lord Danzo who wants you and this girl to come to the Root Division."

After speaking, the Jonin continued, "His Lordship intends to bring you both into the Root Division for training; it would be of great benefit to you..."

"Heh, Danzo?" Yun Xi laughed outright upon hearing the name.

He then said in a tone laced with killing intent, "Is he worthy?"

Perhaps an ordinary person would feel some fear toward Danzo, as his influence within Konoha was indeed formidable.

Even established Konoha clans like the Choji clan or the Shino clan would not willingly provoke Danzo.

But to Yun Xi, Danzo was simply not qualified!

"Kid, you're dead!" The leading Root Division Jonin's expression shifted subtly after hearing Yun Xi's words.

He had not expected Yun Xi to be so arrogant, showing absolutely no respect for Lord Danzo.

One had to know that even clans as powerful as the Hyuga or the Uchiha would not dare to be so disrespectful to Lord Danzo.

If a genius within a clan was scouted by Danzo, they would be sent to the Root Division for training without a word of protest.

That these two kids before him intended to resist was something the Root Division Jonin had never imagined.

One was a talented orphan from Konoha...

The other was a member of the Uzumaki Clan, a remnant of the Land of Whirlpools.

The Root Division Jonin executing this mission could not fathom where they found the courage to resist him!

"Move!" The Root Division Jonin couldn't be bothered to say more. Seeing that Yun Xi and Karin were so uncooperative, he signaled his companions to attack!

"Yes!"

The remaining Root Division ninjas were highly coordinated; upon receiving the signal, they quickly moved into position.

They completely surrounded Yun Xi and Karin!

"Karin, move!" Yun Xi had never feared battle; these Root Division members were nothing but ants to him.

Facing their encirclement, Yun Xi naturally didn't take them to heart. After speaking to Karin, he immediately entered combat mode himself!

"Bring these two kids back to the Root Division!"

The only Jonin in the Root Division, seeing that Yun Xi actually dared to resist, was immediately incensed.

In Konoha, the Root Division was a more terrifying organization than the Anbu.

They not only accepted conventional missions like assassinations and reconnaissance but also handled unspeakable affairs.

Almost no one dared to confront the Root Division head-on!

Yet, the kid's face showed no fear, only a cold, chilling expression...

"Fire Style: Flame Dragon Technique!"

"Shuriken Technique!"

"Fire Style: Phoenix Sage Fire Technique..."

Although Yun Xi was young, the Root Division members did not underestimate him.

The second the order was given, the numerous Root Division ninjas struck simultaneously, attempting to defeat Yun Xi in one blow.

Then, they would drag him back to the Root Division!

"Konoha's Root... laughable, truly laughable..."

Although the Root Division ninjas were numerous and Yun Xi was all alone, he felt no fear facing these small-time thugs; instead, a mocking smile appeared on his face.

"You claim to be the root of Konoha? Then today, I shall tear it up!"

Yun Xi was never one to kill the innocent, but if anyone dared to threaten him, then regardless of who they were, their only fate would be death!

"Mangekyo Sharingan. Open!"

"Fire Style: Black Flame Technique!"

To avoid any complications, Yun Xi stopped holding back and immediately activated the Heaven Curse Mark and the Mangekyo Sharingan.

With Yun Xi reaching his peak combat power, dealing with these cannon fodder who didn't even qualify as extras was simple.

A single Black Flame Technique was more than enough!

"Pika-pika!"

Pikachu, standing to the side, also recognized the person who had ambushed him from the shadows.

Without even needing a command from Yun Xi, he immediately unleashed a Thunderbolt.

In an instant, a pale yellow bolt of lightning as thick as a bucket erupted directly from Pikachu's body!

The target of this attack was none other than those Root Division ninjas!

"Watch out..."

The leading Root Division Jonin sensed a hint of danger.

But before he could react, he was instantly swallowed by Yun Xi's black flames!

Even in death, his corpse was lashed by Pikachu's Thunderbolt.

"Pika-pika!"

Seeing that his attack had struck the enemy, a look of excitement appeared on Pikachu's round face.

He then walked over to Yun Xi's feet and rubbed his yellow fur against him.

Looking at his expression, Yun Xi felt as if he were asking for credit.

"Hmph, I suppose you still have a conscience!"

Seeing Pikachu like this, Yun Xi felt a sense of relief.

This guy Pikachu finally didn't resent him anymore.

"Karin, come with me." Even after instantly killing all the Root Division members in his home, the rage in Yun Xi's heart had not yet subsided.

He was going to cut the weeds and pull up the roots!

Yun Xi actually understood that these Root Division ninjas before him were merely Danzo's subordinates; eliminating them was useless.

Only by taking care of Danzo, who was hiding in the darkness, could he quell his anger!

"Where are we going?"

Clearly, Karin did not know Yun Xi's plan, and she felt a bit confused.

Facing Karin's question, Yun Xi simply uttered three words!

"To kill!"

"Kill?!"

Upon hearing Yun Xi's plan, Karin was shocked. After a few seconds of silence, she said, "Why don't we leave Konoha and find a new home?"

Although Karin understood that Yun Xi was incredibly powerful, he was, after all, only one person.

For one person to go up against an entire organization...

Karin was deeply conflicted. On one hand, she didn't want to leave Konoha, nor did she want to leave the home she had finally managed to find.

But she wanted to see Yun Xi's life threatened even less, which was why she urged him to flee...

"No, Karin, you're wrong. In this cruel world, running away solves nothing."

Ever since he learned that the Root Division had made a move against him, Yun Xi had never once considered fleeing.

"The only way to resolve this is to cut the weeds and pull up the roots of the enemy hiding in the shadows!"

"Alright, let's go together!"

After hearing Yun Xi's words, Karin's expression shifted.

Her initial timid look transformed into one of nervous determination!

Having convinced Karin, Yun Xi took Pikachu and Karin and headed straight for Danzo's lair—the Konoha Root Division!

Yun Xi was determined to kill Danzo today!

Even if it meant becoming a rogue ninja, he would not regret it!
