Izumi Runs Into Trouble

Despite Yun Yan's rampage outside the village, Quan was actually living a fairly peaceful life inside.

Yun Yan isn't home, she doesn't need to go to Yun Yan place Tenten to take care of him like she did before. With enough time, Quan can do her own thing.

My daily routine consists of training to improve my strength, occasionally going out on missions with others, but most of the time I stay in the clan or at home.

This is what Izumi's daily life has been like lately.

If you ask if Quan is worried about Yun Yan outside... of course she is, how could she not be worried at all?

However, Yun Yan's strength was undeniable, and before leaving, he repeatedly instructed Quan to act cautiously. Quan wasn't the type to wallow in self-pity all the time, so despite her worries, daily life had to go on.

Even Quan herself didn't expect that, perhaps because of her close relationship with Yun Yan, she herself had unknowingly become a target.

It was an ordinary day. Quan had an ordinary training session, an ordinary mission, and after the mission, she went home and had an ordinary dinner with her mother.

Yes, Izumi lives with only her mother; her father passed away long ago. The mother and daughter have relied on each other for survival and companionship until now. Their family is one of the ostracized members of the Uchiha Clan.

Let them ostracize me, Izumi doesn't care much about it, I just want to live my own life.

After a typical dinner, Quan chatted with her mother for a while. As it was getting late, the mother and daughter parted ways in the living room and went to their respective bedrooms to rest.

Izumi only glanced at his Ninjutsu scrolls before going to sleep, and only fell asleep at a suitable time, as usual, when he felt somewhat tired.

It was late at night, around 1 a. m.

This is when most people sleep the deepest and most soundly, and Quan is no exception.

What place could be safer than one's own home? Especially in his familiar bedroom, Izumi slept quite soundly.

But in this safest place and at the safest time, the most unsafe uninvited guest arrived.

Two Root ninjas... Hmm, that's right, two Root ninjas again. I don't know what's wrong with that Danzo, he always likes to send out two Root ninjas to cause trouble.

Unlike when they dealt with Yun Yan before, when they had elite Jonin, this time it seems that because their target, Izumi, was not strong, the two Root ninjas who arrived were just ordinary Jonin.

The Root ninjas silently infiltrated Izumi's house. They did not disturb Izumi's mother, but instead silently sneaked into Izumi's bedroom.

The two stood one in front of the other, one holding the bedroom door, seemingly to prevent Izumi from escaping, while the other approached Izumi's bedside, seemingly preparing to take action.

Looking at Izumi sleeping peacefully on the bed, the Root ninja took out Kunai, raised Kunai high, and aimed it at Izumi's neck.

Although the Root ninjas' actions seemed to indicate they were about to kill, their expressions didn't show much killing intent; at most, they were full of malice.

Their goal was clear: they had come to Quan's house to find him.

However, it wasn't an assassination, but a capture alive.

Two Root ninjas, acting on Danzo's orders, planned to capture Izumi and invite her to Root for tea, hoping to make Yun Yan, who was away, hesitate to act against her.

It has to be said that they had a brilliant plan, but unexpected things always happen.

To the outside world, Izumi only presented himself Chunin.

But is her strength really only at the Chunin level?

How many Uchiha can Chunin the Three-Tomoe Sharingan?

How many Uchiha Chunin sense that they were awake when two Root Jonin infiltrated their bedroom, and remain calm and pretend to be asleep even when the enemy reached their bedside?

Sensing that the other party had already raised their weapon and pointed it at them, Izumi no longer tried to hide it.

Lying flat on her bed, seemingly still asleep, Izumi suddenly opened her eyes wide, revealing her slowly rotating Three-Tomoe Sharingan!

The Three-Tomoe Sharingan was revealed, and the Genjutsu enhanced by the Three-Tomoe Sharingan was also released by Izumi in an instant, affecting the Root ninja who was holding Kunai by the bedside.

This Root ninja was caught off guard; holding his Kunai, he momentarily lost his senses, affected by the Genjutsu.

Taking advantage of this brief opportunity, Kunai from beside the bed. Holding the Kunai horizontally, she slashed it sharply across the Root ninja's throat!

The attack was swift and ruthless. Quan's eyes were calm and his expression indifferent as he slashed past, which was quite cool!

Unfortunately, the opponent was, after all, a Jonin of Root. As a killing machine trained by Danzo, his overall quality was somewhat stronger than that of an ordinary Jonin.

Sure enough, feeling the strong wind approaching, the Root Jonin's eyes widened suddenly, and he quickly broke free from the Genjutsu.

Once they regained their senses, the Root ninjas quickly retreated and hastily used their Kunai to defend themselves!

With a loud clang and a flash of sparks, Izumi's Kunai collided with the Root ninja's Kunai, canceling out each other's attacks.

After blocking Izumi's sudden attack, the Root ninja quickly retreated two steps and faced Izumi seriously.

He realized he had underestimated her. This little Uchiha girl wasn't as simple as she appeared; she might even have the strength of Jonin!

Fortunately... I'm not alone on this side!

Upon seeing this, the Root ninja blocking the bedroom door also drew his weapon without hesitation and stood alongside the Root ninja.

The two stood side by side, exuding a murderous aura, their eyes fixed on Quan, who stood before the bed.

Quan faced two opponents alone, her expression showing no fear. She looked solemnly at the two enemies in front of her.

It was the Root, not the Anbu, Izumi immediately realized.

Izumi had heard of Root's infamous reputation, but she really couldn't understand why Root would target an ordinary Uchiha girl like herself.

If you don't understand, then stop thinking about it. The situation is forcing you to act. Since the other party is being impolite, you can't be soft-hearted either!

Izumi's eyes narrowed, and the Three Tomoe in her eyes began to slowly rotate. She decisively rushed out at lightning speed, taking the initiative to attack the two Root ninjas.

The two Root ninjas, having rested and prepared, and working in perfect harmony, immediately began fighting alongside Izumi.

In an instant, within the cramped bedroom of Quan, the three were locked in a fierce battle, their weapons clashing and sparking in the darkness. The sounds of their battle were intense, and their shadowy figures moved swiftly and rapidly.

In a short period of time, Izumi displayed extraordinary prowess, and neither of the two Root ninjas could defeat her for the time being.

The problem is that Izumi is ultimately alone, while the enemy has the numerical advantage. If Izumi cannot take down a Root ninja first, dragging the fight out will be disadvantageous for her.

And something even worse happened.

Quan's mother, whom she was most worried about, was woken up at this moment.

Hearing sounds of fighting coming from her daughter's bedroom, the mother was terrified. In her panic, she didn't have time to think of anything else, grabbed her long-unopened Kunai, and ran over, directly opening the door to Izumi's bedroom.

As soon as she opened the door, Izumi's mother saw a fierce battle scene in her daughter's bedroom, where her daughter was fighting to the death with two enemies.

To be honest, this could be considered a case of being too concerned to think clearly. In this situation, Quan's mother coming over wouldn't help; instead, she would be a burden.

Although Izumi's mother was a ninja, she hadn't fought in many years. In all these years, she had simply been taking care of her daughter, and at most, she was only at the level of an ordinary Chunin, probably not even Chunin, just Genin.

Izumi, who was in the middle of the battle, noticed her mother's arrival. Terrified, she cried out:

"Mother, hurry!"

However, a mother worried about her daughter wouldn't listen so easily. Quan's mother still held her weapon, standing hesitantly at the bedroom door.

Upon seeing this, the two Root ninjas immediately exchanged a glance, realizing their opportunity had arrived.

Although this woman rushed over with a weapon in her hand, her expression clearly showed that she was all bark and no bite, and her aura was also very weak, which was obviously this Uchiha girl's weakness.

Since that's the case, there's nothing more to say. First Uchiha clan, capture this lady, and then force her daughter to submit.

That's what the two Root ninjas thought, and that's what they did.

After exchanging a glance, one Root ninja stayed behind to continue fighting Izumi, while the other Root ninja rushed towards Izumi's mother, extending his weapon to take her hostage.

Seeing this, Quan became extremely anxious.

Even though her emotional outburst led to a temporary increase in strength, Izumi was still unable to break through the blockade of the Root ninja blocking her way.

She could only watch helplessly as another Root ninja drew closer and closer to her mother, making her mother increasingly vulnerable.

"No!"

After letting out a defiant cry, Izumi's emotional fluctuations triggered a peculiar change in her mind.

In an instant, Izumi's Three-Tomoe Sharingan underwent a change; the Three Tomoe pattern in her eyes suddenly transformed into a peculiar triangular pattern.

It's important to note that this triangular pattern is exactly the same as Yun Yan's Mangekyō Sharingan pattern!
