Root Ninja Were No Match at All

The first Root ninja to rush forward was the first to be hit. This Root ninja did not use a weapon, but directly used his fist, punching Yun Yan in the face.

However, when the fist came crashing down, it suddenly expanded and grew into an enormous fist that was half the height of a person!

As its size and weight increased, the power of this punch also began to increase.

As the enormous fist drew closer and closer, and he felt the force of its blow against his face, Yun Yan seemed lost in thought:

"The Expansion Jutsu? The Akimichi Clan?"

Wait a minute, this Root ninja isn't fat at all!

Or perhaps the Root had already stolen the Akimichi Clan's Expansion Jutsu? That's quite possible."

While muttering to himself, Yun Yan raised the Purple Lightning in his hand without hesitation and thrust it towards the huge fist in front of him!

The power of Yun Yan and the might of Purple Lightning are incomparable to the mere appearance of a large fist on the other side.

The flashing purple lightning struck and pierced the giant fist, which, like a deflated balloon, began to shrink rapidly and was easily crushed.

Yun Yan's figure flashed swiftly, appearing in front of the Root ninja who knew the Expansion Jutsu.

Before the Root ninja could make any further move, Yun Yan raised the Purple Lightning in his hand and slapped it without hesitation, smashing the Root ninja's head into a smashed watermelon in mid-air!

As Yun Yan took another step forward, he paused, feeling something was wrong with his body.

Why are you moving so slowly? Is it as if someone is restraining your body? Is it difficult to move?

Looking down, he realized that at some point, two black shadows had spread from the ground and climbed onto Yun Yan's own shadow, thus binding his body.

"This is... the Nara Clan's Shadow Imitation Technique?"

Thinking of this, Yun Yan couldn't help but look to his side.

There, a Root ninja uses light to illuminate his work and connects with his shadow to perform magic.

Just as Yun Yan was deep in thought, he felt his body become even more immobile. This feeling of being bound was not from the Shadow Imitation Technique, but from a feeling of being bound mentally.

Yun Yan immediately understood:

"Even the Mind Body Switch Technique of the Yamanaka Clan has appeared; now the Ino–Shika–Chō is all together."

But the problem is, aren't these three clans all direct descendants of the Hokage? Isn't Root is doing a bit too disrespectful to the Hokage?

The Root ninjas did not respond to Yun Yan's complaints.

Not only that, taking advantage of the two Root ninjas' physical and mental restraints, and the opportunity for both sides to gain control, another Root ninja charged forward.

The Root ninja leaped high into the air, drew his short sword from his waist, its blade gleaming with a sharp edge, and slashed at Yun Yan's neck without hesitation.

When the Root ninja drew his sword, Yun Yan recognized him immediately from his posture and aura as using Leaf Style Swordsmanship.

Good heavens, this Root is truly a hidden gem, teeming with all sorts of people and skilled in everything.

However, Yun Yan was only slightly curious and wanted to see what tricks they could come up with, which is why he gave them a chance.

Now that he understood and roughly figured out where they came from, Yun Yan decided not to continue indulging them.

With a slight tremor in his body, Yun Yan mobilized his vast and pure Chakra, instantly breaking free from the control of Shadow Imitation Technique and Mind Body Switch Technique.

The Root ninjas who unleashed those two Ninjutsu also changed their expressions, suffering the backlash of their failed Ninjutsu.

The two Root ninjas' expressions changed drastically, and they hurriedly tried to shout a warning to the Root ninja who was using Leaf Style Swordsmanship to slash at Yun Yan.

Unfortunately, it was too late; the lightning in Yun Yan's hand flashed and roared once more.

"Lightning Release, Sanda Murudo!"

As soon as he finished speaking, terrifyingly concentrated lightning radiated outwards from Yun Yan's right hand, indiscriminately attacking everything around him!

The powerful lightning was unstoppable, tearing and destroying everything around it.

The first to be hit was the Root ninja who charged forward using the Leaf Style Swordsmanship. His entire body was buried in lightning and turned into a mangled, charred corpse.

Immediately afterwards, the two Root ninjas who used the Shadow Imitation Technique and the Mind Body Switch Technique were also affected by the terrifying lightning strike. One of their bodies was torn apart by the lightning, and the other was pierced through by it, dying quite swiftly!

As a result, Root elite Root ninjas guarding the laboratory entrance were killed instantly.

Only two Root ninjas, who were unaffected by the lightning, remained guarding the laboratory door.

However... having witnessed Yun Yan's swift and decisive defeat of their comrades, the two Root ninjas had lost much of their confidence, or rather, they had already resolved to die.

They exchanged a glance, and the two Root ninjas knew they were no match for Yun Yan, so they simply and tacitly unleashed their strongest techniques.

Two Root ninjas stood on either side of the iron laboratory door, simultaneously and rapidly Hand Seals at the same frequency:

"Water Release: Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet!"

Hearing them shout out Ninjutsu sounds as if out of fear, Yun Yan nodded slightly.

"So it's this Water Release Ninjutsu. It's certainly a trump card for you."

As soon as he finished speaking, the two Root ninjas opposite him had already gathered enough Chakra.

Suddenly, a massive torrent of water was unleashed by the two of them. The originally gentle water flow became turbulent and terrifying under the influence of Chakra, transforming into two thick water dragons that surged forward relentlessly, crashing head-on into Yun Yan!

Two thick water jets roared through the relatively narrow underground passage, their power and visual impact quite impressive.

If someone weaker were to see this scene rushing towards them, they would definitely be more afraid and back down.

However, Yun Yan didn't move an inch and continued to move forward steadily.

As he steadily moved forward, his Lightning Release underwent further changes:

"Lightning Release: Thunder Swallow!"

As Yun Yan spoke calmly, the terrifying lightning in his hand began to condense and compress, undergoing a significant change in form.

Unlike water, fire, and earth Chakra, which are easier to control, wind and lightning Chakra require a high level of skill to achieve significant changes in form.

Once it can undergo a shape change, it means that this move is extremely powerful!

As the two Water Dragon Bullet hurtled towards him, the terrifying lightning in Yun Yan's hand had already condensed and compressed into a Thunder Swallow that spread its wings and took flight.

This agile and skillful Thunder Swallow, radiating dazzling lightning, was casually tossed away by Yun Yan!

Thunder Swallow let out a loud cry and charged head-on at the two water dragons that were rushing towards it!

On one side was a surging, enormous water dragon, and there were two of them.

On one side was a small, powerful Thunder Swallow, flashing with lightning; there was only one.

The two sides collided head-on in the narrow underground passage!

Under the watchful eyes of Yun Yan and the two Root ninjas, the Thunder Swallow, gleaming with bright lightning, completely and utterly tore apart and shattered the two water dragons!

The two water dragons, which had originally been surging and powerful, turned out to be nothing but weak water droplets after being torn apart and shattered, scattering and flowing on the ground with a splash.

Because of the sheer volume of water, Yun Yan's ankles were submerged for a time.

Of course, Yun Yan himself didn't care about this small problem at all; he was still watching Thunder Swallow, whom he had thrown away.

After defeating the two water dragons, Thunder Swallow's momentum remained undiminished. It continued to cry out, spread its wings, and fly towards the two remaining Root ninjas.

Upon seeing this, the two Root ninjas turned ashen-faced.

That Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet technique had already used up almost all of their Chakra. Now that their Chakra was depleted, they had no way to change their moves or block it.

Thus, the two Root ninjas could only watch helplessly as Thunder Swallow rushed towards them at high speed.

With a deafening roar, accompanied by radiating lightning, Thunder Swallow struck the steel door of the laboratory, causing a terrifying explosion that shook the entire Root base!

About five or six seconds later, the explosion stopped, and the remaining lightning gradually dissipated, finally revealing the scene before Yun Yan.

The laboratory's steel door was gone, and the extremely thick concrete wall that once housed it had been blasted open with a huge hole.

As for the two Root ninjas... they had long been torn into two mangled corpses by the explosion and fell to either side.
