"Peng!"
But it was obvious that there was only a slight resistance.
These Root people who seem to be the most elite are like paper in front of Shōji. None of the Root members rushing to the front are the enemies of Shōji. The blood splashing everywhere and the bodies falling in a pool of blood one after another are all proof of the power of Shōji.
Several people wanted to use ninjutsu, but even before Hand Seals could complete it, they were brutally killed by Shōji. The huge disparity in strength shown by Chi Guoguo made the eyes of the Root leader become even colder.
But even so.
They, however, had no intention of backing down.
Still a strong figure coming one after another.
The bloodthirsty color on Shōji's face became extremely intense at this moment.
"Lightning Release!"
"Water Release!"
"Earth Release!"
"Secret Technique!"
The system of cultivating talented people collected from the whole village was established by Root with the acquiescence of Third Hokage when it was first established. Generally speaking, except for some people with special status and those who Sarutobi Hiruzen values and does not allow Danzo to intervene, as long as it is Danzo who issues the recruitment order, you cannot disobey it.
Therefore, in Root you can see all kinds of talented people from all the major Ninja Clan talents in the village. Even in the Hyuga Clan, there are people who have been separated by Danzo was forcibly recruited into Root. With Third Hokage's acquiescence, Hyuga Clan's two consecutive generations of leaders (Hiashi and his father) did not dare to say anything.
Among Konohagakure, probably only the former Uchiha Clan has never been joined by anyone in Root.
Of course, this is more due to Danzo's distrust of the Uchiha Clan, including the previous Shisui Uchiha. In addition, Root is really full of talents, and all the members are elite.
Although many elites were killed by Rain Country, resulting in the Root's power that Danzo could command being directly reduced by more than half, but in the past few years, Danzo has been picking up the wool bit by bit to rebuild Root, Aburame, Hyūga, Inuzuka Clan, Tsukikage Clan, Yamashiro Clan, Nara, Yamanaka Clan, Akimichi, these Ninja Clan people can be found in Root.
There are also some talented ordinary civilians or orphans that he personally adopted (such as the previous Nonō)
With the power of Root, it is really possible to sweep through many small country ninja villages above Shinobi World. This is the background of Root, and this is the pride of Danzo. However, such a Root is simply vulnerable in front of Shōji.
"Shadow Binding Technique!"
"Lightning Release—False Darkness Technique!"
"Earth Release—The Art of Explosion!"
"Lightning Release—Earth Run Technique!"
"Water Release—Great Waterfall Technique!"
A variety of coordinated attacks.
The shining luster, as well as the approaching waves of terrorist attacks, only made Shōji's clothes stained with some dust. It was a figure that could not be captured and locked at all, and it was a siege that could not even cause a little damage!
These Root elites are just doing the same repetitive thing, which is to die under the blade of Shōji.
That was already the blood that had infected the entire land.
This originally peaceful and silent place became as bloody and terrifying as hell.
"Wow!?"
"Huh!?"
Although the group of Ogata people in the back position encountered extremely high-intensity attacks at the beginning, and several people were accidentally injured, as Shōji killed the besieging Root elites one after another.
One corpse after another piled up next to Shōji.
The attack pressure they need to face has also been completely slowed down.
"Sharingan!"
"Lightning Release-Lightning Descent's art!"
Shōji has completely entered Shura mode. As he goes to the back, his attacks become more rounded and smooth.
The elite siege troops of Root were densely packed before.
Just after a short period of time.
That's most of the casualties.
Including that one, although he was not born in the major Ninja Clan in the village, but his personal strength was obviously at the peak level of Elite Jōnin. He was also the team leader in the interaction just now. In the front, he was directly bombarded by Shōji's thunder Ninjutsu style, which meant that he had quick reactions and he was also extremely good at using the thunder Ninjutsu style.
A reluctant resistance.
But even so, he was still hit hard by Shōji.
At this moment, his aura was obviously much weaker, and he looked at the hundreds of corpses that were already covering the surrounding areas. The expression hidden under the mask looked so ugly at this moment.
As the first commander, he is also an Root member who, like the Aburame Ryūma, has experienced the separation of the Uchiha Clan from Konoha First Shinobi World War. He is very aware of the difficulty of this mission. He also understands that if he wants to fulfill the orders of his Danzo master, he will have to pay a very heavy price, and there is even a high possibility that the mission will fail.
But in his expectation, the process must be quite anxious. At least it is impossible for Shōji to deal with them Root elites so easily. However, the fact is so cruel. The craziest point is that from beginning to end, Shōji did not activate Mangekyō Sharingan, and the Susanoo technique that was the most vigilant and fearful before was not used.
This is not just a complete failure of their initial plans.
He truly realized what Uchiha Clan was, the most genius person since the ancestor named Uchiha Madara.
In just one and a half years, Uchiha Shōji's strength has actually undergone a qualitative change. Of course, this is also a pity that due to the death of Aburame Ryūma and other Root people, there is no way to pass the corresponding information back to the village for Danzo to learn about it.
If Shōji is really as strong as it was a year and a half ago.
These Root people may not have the probability of completing the mission.
Although it is still low, after all, Danzo still does not really realize how terrible Mangekyō Sharingan is from the Uchiha Clan. It is not a field that ordinary people can reach, but at least there is a theoretical way to defeat Shōji. The possibility, but now, is not even a theoretical possibility. After many battles, especially with Rasa and First Shinobi World War, Shōji, who can more fully grasp his own power, is really far beyond his original self.
Even in Three-Tomoe Sharingan mode, he can slaughter these Root elites so wantonly, which is the best embodiment of Shōji's current powerful strength.
There is no way to avoid it, no way to escape, this is a mission that is completely doomed to fail.
"You retreat immediately! Be sure to report the information to Lord Danzo smoothly!"
The leader of Root, who was already prepared to die, used the most urgent words to tell a subordinate with the strongest escape ability to give priority to retreat. He also took the remaining Root members with him without hesitation. He launched a final suicide attack towards Shōji in the front position. He wanted to cover his Root's smooth retreat and bring back the information here so that his own Danzo could learn about it.
This is the mission of their Root people. The Root person who was given this order did not hesitate at all. After nodding heavily, he also retreated and quickly retreated towards the other side.
This figure caught Shōji's eyes.
It didn't cause any fluctuation in Shōji's heart.
Shōji, who was still focused on dealing with the enemy in front of him, had no intention of pursuing the retreating Root person. This was of course because there were dozens of Root elites surrounding him at the moment, unable to move. In addition to the fact that it is difficult to break through in a short period of time using spells such as Mangekyō Sharingan and Susanoo, the most important reason is that Shōji also hopes that someone can go back and report the mission process to that Shimura Danzō.
This can be regarded as a big 'surprise' prepared by Shōji for Danzo!
"Lightning Release!"
Wantonly slaughtering the incoming enemies.
The remaining Root elites were not able to resist for too long at all. That is, the leader, and the other Root members Aburame Clan and Akimichi Clan were more difficult, which cost Shōji some more time and energy.
But that's just it.
"Pfft!"
The blade is horizontal.
Nothing to look at!
The sharp edge that cut down, the cold front that penetrated straight in.
"Ugh!"
Overflowing blood.
"Uh-huh!"
The cracked mask revealed an unattractive face, and the pupils gradually diverged.
Then it was when Shōji drew the knife.
"Wow!"
All the strength in his body was drained away instantly like a torrent of catharsis.
This figure fell softly on the ground.
'Danzo Master... '
The vision gradually dimmed in front of him, and the figure that finally flashed in front of him, this man named Root, raised his right hand tremblingly, as if he wanted to grab something, but in the end he suddenly dropped it powerlessly.
A consciousness completely plunged into darkness.
The last trace of life was completely extinguished at this moment.
Although he is said to be a hostile person, he has to admit that Danzo still has some of the charming attributes that a leader should have. After all, in the Root organization, not everyone They were all forcibly pulled in by Danzo, and then used sealing techniques to control orders. There are still quite a few who agree with Danzo's ideals and obey its orders and are willing to be driven by it.
At least the Aburame Ryūma before, and the stranger Root Jōnin who died in front of Shōji at this moment were such existences.
For them, Danzo's ideal is their ideal, and Danzo's order is the meaning of their existence!
For this they are even willing to pay the price with their lives.
only.
"This is the most stupid and sad behavior!"
Shōji took back his Tachi and carried it back behind him. He glanced indifferently at the Root person below who seemed to be determined to die. Then he glanced at the bloody, terrifying and messy scene around him, shook his head slightly, and said softly with a hint of regret.
The reason why Konoha has fallen to this point.
Shimura Danzō has to bear at least half of the responsibility, and the remaining half is naturally shared by Sarutobi Hiruzen, Mitokado Homura, and Utatane Koharu. Of course, many things cannot be assigned responsibilities so simply, Shōji also looks at these issues from his own standpoint and perspective. You can say that Shōji is not objective enough, but some things do exist in reality. This is something that no one can deny, and it is also the biggest sin of Shimura Danzō.
"Shōji-kun? What should we do next?"
Although it has been known for a long time that the strength of the strongest person in the younger generation is already close to that of Lord Tsuchikage, before witnessing it with his own eyes, everything was just a vague impression. Now, he saw that nearly two hundred Konoha elites were almost killed by Shōji in such a short period of time.
Ogata, Hu Yin and others are the ones who truly understand the horror of Shōji.
Even Shōji didn't use the legendary pair of Mangekyō Sharingan, and there was still room for support and cover to prevent them from being seriously damaged.
If most of the previous psychology was based on obeying and respecting Shōji's orders from their own Lord Tsuchikage, then when this bloody and crushing battle happened before their eyes, at this moment Ogata, Hu Yin and others were like Iwagakure Ninjas who have witnessed Shōji defeat Sunagakure Northern Fortress by one person, and defeated Fourth Kazekage—Rasa head-on, respect Shōji from the bottom of their hearts. It can even be said that they are in awe of Shōji.
In the world of ninjas, power is supreme. This is the only truth.
Strong is everything!
Ogata, Hu Yin They know this very well.
Therefore, at the end of the battle, Ogata stepped forward. When Shōji turned around, Ogata subconsciously bowed his head slightly, and his words all revealed a touch of respect and obedience.
Follow the instructions of the strong.
This is the eternal truth Shinobi World.
If it was Shōji a year and a half ago, he would still be a little uncomfortable, but now he can integrate into such an environment very well, and will not be surprised by the subtle changes in Ogata's attitude. While gently wiping away the blood that accidentally splashed on his face, With a careless tone, he said, "Of course we have a good discussion with that Third Hokage. The corpses of eight Root cannot be used as evidence. What about the two hundred corpses? I think that Master Third Hokage has to show some expression this time, right?"
"Ogata-Sang, please immediately report everything that happened here back to the village to inform Lord Third, and then you immediately return to the border area with these corpses to join the border garrison led by Akatsuchi-Sang."
"What about you? Mr. Shōji?"
"Me? Of course I have to go back and take a look. Didn't I say it before? Something interesting will probably happen at Konoha tonight. Although I didn't expect that I would win the prize, it won't affect the next plan. You don't have to worry about my safety. Now Konoha has no one to keep me. After successfully joining Akatsuchi-san and the others, just wait for Lord Third's order. This time we must settle this account with Konoha!"
Shōji said with a slight smile.
"Uh? Yes, I understand. Then I wish you good luck in martial arts, Mr. Shōji!"
Although I was still a little worried, when I thought about Shōji's demon-like posture just now, facing nearly two hundred elite Root, as ferocious as if they were in an uninhabited land, the words that came to my lips were swallowed back, and I reorganized my words.
He also truly believes that his Mr. Shōji will not have any problems easily, unless he really falls into some extremely dangerous trap, but the probability of that is really too low.
Worry about Shōji instead of worrying about Konoha.
Ogata Such a nonsensical thought suddenly came up deep in his heart.
"Well, you should also pay attention to the route selection, Ogata-san, although this is Shimura Danzō's arbitrary behavior, you can't say whether there will be a follow-up. It doesn't hurt to take a long detour. Let's go back to the border here. The journey in this area is less than a day at most, so just work harder, drive through the night, avoid some of Konoha's key strongholds, and as long as you retreat to Land of Grass, everything will be fine!"
"Well, don't worry, Mr. Shōji!"
Ogata also nodded heavily.
Then he stepped aside and commanded Hu Yin and his subordinates Iwagakure Ninja to use the sealing scrolls prepared in advance to seal all the corpses into the scrolls as much as possible. The corpses of these Root people were not only used as evidence to put pressure on Konoha, but also had extremely high research value and significance. Naturally, you should take away as much as you can.
In fact, you can take away almost everything.
After cleaning up the battlefield.
After treating the wounds of several injured companions, Ogata and Hu Yin left early, changed directions, took a slight detour, avoided the Konoha stronghold in the front, and galloped towards the Land of Grass border location.
After the group of people left.
Shōji also looked at the setting sun and the gradually dimming vision, and the corner of his mouth curved into a beautiful arc.
'Sa, the stage has been set up, the actors can't be late! '
Those words whispered deep in my heart.
Shōji also has a straight body shape.
Go back the same way you came to where Konohagakure is.
By the time Shōji returned to Konoha, night had completely fallen, and Konohagakure seemed bustling and lively.
Look at the Konoha people who are still celebrating the arrival of peace.
Shōji The ray of ridicule in his pupils became more intense.
Of course, it is not aimed at these ordinary people, but at Third Hokage, Shimura Danzō and Konoha High Command. Shōji is really looking forward to being Danzo What would the expressions of E and Sarutobi Hiruzen be like when they learn that the elite troops they dispatched with full confidence were wiped out, and Danzo learns that Danzo has acted without permission again.
Also, once Kumo Ninja acts like Original Work and has the same ending moment as Original Work, how exciting will the expression of Third Hokage be?
When he thought of this, Shōji felt a little impatient.
Schrödinger's plot-correcting power.
It seems to exist, but it also seems to be nothingness. Logically speaking, after Shōji, a character other than 'destiny', entered, the plot changes brought about by the 'big wings' instigated have already affected various countries and the fate of many plot characters in Original Work to a great extent. Many people and things started from the moment Shōji arrived.
More or less, they have been deflected to varying degrees.
But just above the plot elements of Kumo Ninja-Hyūga, Schrödinger's plot correction power has shown his strong sense of existence. Of course, this is just a joke. The reason why he still talks to Original Work A similar development happened in E. In the final analysis, it still depends on the shadow of Kumogakure, or it should be said that the whole village's greed for Kekkei Genkai has reached an extreme level.
Even if there is no such opportunity, in the future, they will still take the initiative to create many opportunities to seek these blood heirs.
It can only be said that these so-called plot accidents are actually inevitable reasons.
There are external factors and internal factors.
Shōji didn't care about this. He only cared about whether it was beneficial to him. He quietly sneaked near the Hyuga Clan's station. At this moment, Shōji didn't know whether Kumo Ninja's side had taken action.
But what he can be sure of is that as long as Kumo Ninja takes action, Hyuga Clan's station will cause some small waves, and with Shōji's current strength, this wave is enough for Shōji to easily catch it.
And there is a saying that is really suitable for Shōji at this moment.
That is, it is better to come early than to come by chance.
This was Shōji who quietly arrived at a high point on the east side of the Hyuga Clan's station under the cover of night. The scarlet Tomoe Sharingan flowing out of his pupils immediately captured the two extremely strong Chakra fluctuations at the near point.
Shōji made a light 'eh' sound.
"Is it such a coincidence?"
A strange color appeared on the face, the aura further decreased, and the figure became more and more secretive, Shōji floated towards the position where the Chakra wave was emitting.
In an instant, that's where you arrived.
Wherever you look.
The view seen by Shōji.
It was a scene where a man in white clothes, about thirty years old, slapped another man in Kumogakure Jōnin uniform and drove him away.
This Kumo Ninja is the deputy leader of the Kumogakure mission. Retto was ordered to kidnap Hinata Hyuga. Although he is Jōnin, Retto is more good at stealth and stealth. In terms of frontal combat capabilities, he is obviously weaker than some other Jōnin.
And the person who seriously injured him at this moment, the clearly visible Byakugan, the Gentle Fist technique that he picked up at his fingertips, and the slightly resolute and familiar face all prove that this figure is the father of Hinata Hyuga, the contemporary head of the Hyuga Clan family - Hyuga Hiashi!
Although Hyuga Clan has never seen a strong person at the Kage Level level since he joined Konohagakure, but relying on the powerful Byakugan Kekkei Genkai and the Gentle Fist technique that is invincible under the Kage Level level!
The strength of Hyuga Hiashi is also at the peak level of Jōnin.
Even today's Shōji, without using Mangekyō Sharingan, it will take some effort to solve Hyuga Hiashi!
It is no problem to deal with a mere Kumogakure Jōnin who is not good at frontal attacks. In front of Byakugan of Hiashi, any action of Retto is meaningless.
That is to say, at first, he was somewhat concerned about the safety of Hinata, who was taken hostage by Retto, and seemed a little constrained. However, after seizing the opportunity and taking Hinata back from Retto, Hiashi seemed to have no scruples.
After placing the daughter who fell into a coma to a safer location.
Hiashi launched a violent attack on Retto.
