Danzo Appears

Seeing Karin after her enhancement was complete, a look of extreme surprise appeared on Yun Xi's face!

Due to the massive influx of vitality, Karin, who had previously stood at only about 1.3 or 1.4 meters tall, had shot up to 1.7 meters.

At the same time, her entire physique had matured, with every aspect of her body undergoing significant growth.

Yun Xi: "The rest is hard to describe, so I'll trouble you readers to imagine it yourselves!"

In short, the little girl had grown into a cold, aloof beauty!

"Brother Yun Xi, how did I... become like this?"

Seeing her own transformation, a look of extreme shock appeared on Karin's face.

Mixed into that shock was also a hint of shyness.

Karin had never expected that her body could undergo such a massive change in the span of just one minute...

"Brother Yun Xi, have I grown up?"

Unable to make sense of the situation, Karin could only stare at Yun Xi with a pitiful look in her eyes.

She hoped that Yun Xi could clear up her confusion...

"Perhaps..." Yun Xi didn't know how to explain it either.

After all, even Yun Xi hadn't expected a single system enhancement to produce such a dramatic result.

Fortunately, the clothes Karin had been wearing were slightly loose to begin with.

Even after her growth spurt, they were still able to cover her excellent figure.

They were just a little tight now.

"Oh... I suppose this is fine too."

Hearing Yun Xi's words, Karin stopped asking questions and stood behind him with her head lowered.

It was clear she hadn't yet adapted to her new physique.

The person—or pet—most bewildered by all this was Pikachu.

It hadn't expected that in the blink of an eye, Karin would undergo such a drastic change.

If not for Pikachu's keen sense of smell telling it that the beautiful young lady before it was the original Karin, it would have thought someone else had taken her place...

"Let's go, let's head into the Root Division."

Seeing that Karin was gradually accepting her new body, Yun Xi began to walk slowly toward the interior of the Root Division.

But before Yun Xi could fully enter, a dozen Root Division ninjas suddenly appeared.

They completely surrounded Yun Xi and his group.

Does that old dog Danzo know I'm coming?

Seeing the formation before him, Yun Xi thought to himself.

However, the actions of one of the Root Division Jonin left Yun Xi feeling somewhat puzzled.

He saw that Root Division Jonin walk slowly toward him before directly blocking his path.

Then, in a voice devoid of emotion, he said to Yun Xi, "This is a restricted area of Konoha. Unauthorized personnel are forbidden from entering."

Seeing this, Yun Xi smiled.

It seems Danzo doesn't know I'm here to find him yet.

At first, Yun Xi had assumed that since he had killed the Root Division ninjas earlier, Danzo must have received the news.

But then Yun Xi reconsidered; Danzo likely still thought of him as nothing more than an ordinary civilian.

Although Yun Xi had displayed some talent previously, in Danzo's mind, he clearly posed no threat.

Furthermore, with the Uchiha Clan Downfall Incident having just occurred yesterday, Danzo had even less reason to concern himself with Yun Xi and Karin.

The group of Root Division ninjas before him clearly hadn't come for Yun Xi and Karin.

In Yun Xi's view, they were likely on their way to carry out another mission.

"Who are you to dare address Lord Danzo by name!"

The Root Division Jonin standing beside Yun Xi had heard his disdainful words.

His expression changed instantly, and a hint of killing intent emerged in his eyes.

In the hearts of the Root Division ninjas, Danzo was their god.

In their minds, Danzo's status was even higher than that of the Third Hokage!

And yet, this brat before them dared to mock Lord Danzo with such a tone?

"I originally only intended to simply drive you away, but your words, brat, have stirred my desire to kill!"

After the Root Division Jonin finished speaking, he launched a kick directly at Yun Xi!

Although he didn't use any ninjutsu, the Root Division Jonin naturally understood exactly how much power he possessed.

Not to mention an ordinary brat.

Even some adults would likely have their ribs shattered by a single kick from him!

"What?!"

Just as the Root Division Jonin's attack was about to reach Yun Xi, the Jonin realized his left foot was suspended in mid-air.

Looking closely, he discovered that his lower leg was being held in the air by Yun Xi's slender hand.

Although Yun Xi's arm looked devoid of any strength.

The Root Division Jonin found his leg as if it were trapped in a narrow crevice.

He couldn't break free at all!

"Go to hell..."

Just as the Root Division Jonin intended to use ninjutsu to counterattack, Yun Xi threw him away.

Subsequently, under the force of that immense power, the Root Division Jonin slammed directly into the wall.

At the same time, a cloud of dust was kicked up...

After dealing with this Jonin, Yun Xi still wore an indifferent expression on his face.

He even brushed off his hands, as if he had just tossed away a bag of trash...

"Go quickly and report to Lord Danzo that an enemy is attacking!"

The Root Division ninjas who had been standing on the sidelines intending to watch the show instantly entered combat mode upon seeing this scene.

Although they hadn't seen when Yun Xi made his move.

The experienced Root Division ninjas naturally understood that the Yun Xi before them could not be underestimated!

Seeing the situation, the group of Anbu ninjas who had originally surrounded Yun Xi quickly split into two.

One group remained in place, responsible for monitoring Yun Xi, Karin, and Pikachu.

The other group of Anbu ninjas quickly returned to the Root Division.

They intended to report the situation occurring here to Danzo.

"Brother Yun Xi, do you need us to take action?"

Facing the restless Root Division ninjas, Karin suddenly spoke up.

She also wanted to test what level her current strength had reached.

"No need."

Seeing that Karin intended to act, Yun Xi reached out and stopped her.

In Yun Xi's eyes, these Root Division ninjas before him were nothing more than small fry.

He was here waiting for Danzo!

"It's actually you?"

About ten minutes later, Danzo finally walked out.

A hint of surprise appeared on his originally calm face.

Although Danzo had never seen Yun Xi in person, he had seen photos of Yun Xi back when the Third Hokage first met him.

Earlier, when a subordinate told Danzo that someone was causing trouble at the entrance of the Root Division.

Danzo hadn't taken it seriously, but after hearing that a Root Division Jonin had been instantly killed.

Danzo came out to inspect.

But what Danzo didn't expect was that the person causing trouble was actually Yun Xi!

"Heh, you old dog, you've finally come out!"

Seeing Danzo appear, Yun Xi stepped forward directly.

His eyes were locked tightly onto the Danzo before him, and at the same time, he released the killing intent he had been harboring without any concealment!

"You want to kill me?"

Feeling the killing intent on Yun Xi, a cold sneer flashed across Danzo's scarred face.

"But there are too many people who want to kill me; I wonder if you will succeed."

Facing Yun Xi's killing intent, Danzo did not show the slightest panic.

After all, he was a long-renowned top-tier Jonin; if he used his hidden trump cards, he could even rival a Kage-level ninja.

How could he fear a brat like Yun Xi?
