A Root Ninja had just finished a patrol and stopped at the handover point, preparing to take a short rest.
He leaned against the cold wall, his face under the mask a little tired.
Suddenly, he felt a chill in his chest.
It wasn't the sharp pain of being pierced, but a strange coldness that spread quickly, as if his blood and heartbeat were frozen instantly.
He lowered his head in shock and saw that a crystal Longsword had been inserted into his chest at some point.
"What... what..."
He wanted to shout, but found that his voice was frozen in his throat.
The next second, ice crystals suddenly erupted from the inside out of his body.
The fine ice spikes instantly pierced his internal organs, blood vessels, and muscles, and even pierced out from under his skin, "exploding" his whole body from the inside into an ice sculpture that maintained a posture of shock. It then shattered silently and turned into crystal powder all over the ground, leaving not even a trace of blood.
In the pupils of his eyes that faded at the end of his life, there was only enough time to reflect a fleeting blurry figure with black hair and black robes, wearing a strange Fox Mask, and the empty holes in the mask that were glimpsed in the darkness.
Naruto's figure did not stop at all, and did not even look back at the "ice sculpture" that disappeared instantly.
Pulling out the ice blade, Naruto's figure merged into the darkness again and flew towards the next locked Chakra reaction point.
The hunting time has begun.
This dark purge that no one knows about, taking place in the deepest underground of Konoha, is quietly advancing with amazing efficiency and ruthlessness.
And his goal has always been only one, Danzo who is dreaming of Hokage.
That old guy is not staying at the bottom. Where is he?
Ten minutes later, Naruto noticed that a Shadow Clone disappeared.
The memory sent back by Shadow Clone instantly allowed Naruto to know the location of Danzo.
That Shadow Clone was poisoned to death by Aburame Torune poisonous insects that got into his clothes.
So that's it.
Naruto lifted the remaining Shadow Clone, and then three pieces of wood grew out of Naruto's back and slowly transformed into his appearance.
Wood Release·Wood Clone Technique.
Naruto's body swept through the intricate passages and quickly arrived at the place where Shadow Clone had disappeared.
This is a hall.
At the other end of the hall, in front of a heavy door, three people stood.
The leader is none other than Shimura Danzō.
He was wearing Hokage Robe, and the shadow of Hokage Hat almost completely covered his face, revealing only the tight corners of his mouth with a hint of gloomy curvature.
He seemed to have just stepped out from behind that door.
On the left side of Danzo is a man wrapped in dark tights and a mask. Even his eyes are hidden behind goggles. His breath is cold and silent, as if he is integrated with the surrounding darkness.
Aburame Torune.
On the right side is a man with a slightly feminine temperament and orange hair Long Hair, Yamanaka Fū.
The moment Naruto's figure appeared at the entrance of the hall, Danzo seemed to lift his bamboo hat slightly, revealing his cold left eye.
He obviously recognized the identity of this uninvited guest. He was the person who wanted to assassinate him just now. Did he change his body this time?
However, there was no trace of panic or surprise on Danzo's face, only a controlled indifference and a hint of impatience to be disturbed.
He didn't even take a second glance at Naruto, as if the intruder in front of him who could sneak into the core of Root quietly and instantly eliminate the guards along the way was just a slightly troublesome fly.
He just waved his hand towards Aburame Torune and Yamanaka Fū beside him.
Movements are random, like driving away mosquitoes.
The meaning couldn't be clearer: get rid of him.
After issuing this extremely concise order, Danzo seemed to have lost interest in everything that followed.
He pressed the brim of his hat with one hand, hid his cold eyes in the shadows again, turned around and returned to the room without hesitation.
The figure of Danzo disappeared again in the posture of Aburame Torune and Yamanaka Fū slightly bowing to accept orders.
"Bang."
The door closed again, isolating the inside and outside.
In the hall, only Naruto was left confronting the two top players Root.
Throughout the whole process, Danzo didn't say a word, and didn't even reveal the slightest intention to fight.
The arrogance of treating intruders as nothing, and the indifference of leaving troubles to his subordinates, demonstrate the habits he has developed from being in a high position in the shadows for many years.
Naruto's blue eyes stared coldly at the re-closed door through Fox Mask's eye holes.
Danzo's avoidance and contempt did not cause any mood swings in him.
As the door closes.
Aburame Torune slowly raised his hands, and fine dust with a dangerous purple-black sheen that was almost imperceptible to the naked eye began to leak out between his fingers.
That is highly toxic nanometer Insect Swarm that is enough to corrode cells and dissolve flesh and blood upon contact.
Yamanaka Fū pulled out Longsword from behind and prepared to deal with Naruto.
The Shadow Clone just now was so difficult to deal with. If this one is the main body, it will definitely be even more difficult.
Naruto Left Hand one move.
No Hand Seals, no lengthy prelude.
It was as if the air around the palm was roughly stirred and compressed by invisible force, and then released instantly.
An unimaginable violent suction force was not blown forward, but centered on Naruto, forming a small-scale, high-intensity, terrifying hurricane eye with completely reverse direction.
The purple-black poisonous insect mist that was originally drifting towards Naruto was instantly strangled and cleared by the sudden storm, and was then blown back to the direction of Aburame Torune.
"What?"
Aburame Torune's eyes widened suddenly behind his sunglasses, but the wind pressure was so strong and abrupt that it completely disrupted his control rhythm of Chakra. The poisonous insects were caught in the storm and attacked him and the Yamanaka Fū beside him!
Yamanaka Fū's face also changed drastically. Longsword danced, trying to cut away the wind pressure and Insect Swarm, but the wind was invisible, the insects were tiny, and the sword light could only split a few.
Aburame Torune stood in front of Yamanaka Fū to block the corpse of the poisonous insect to prevent it from being poisoned.
At this moment when the storm rolled back and the two of them were dealing with it in a slightly awkward manner.
The figure of Naruto rushed in front of the two of them like a ghost.
The next moment, Aburame Torune and Yamanaka Fū felt their necks tighten at the same time.
An irresistible force grabbed their throats like iron pliers, and slammed their bodies, which had not yet completely stabilized, against the cold wall behind them.
Boom!
Boom!
Two dull impacts sounded almost at the same time, and fine cracks were created on the surface of the wall.
Aburame Torune and Yamanaka Fū were pinned to the wall with their feet off the ground. The strong sense of suffocation and the dizziness caused by the impact made them instantly lose their ability to resist.
Too fast!
The time from being rolled back by the wind to being captured was too short.
Aburame Torune's face under the mask was distorted by suffocation, but the Nano-Sized Venomous Insects in his body sensed that the host was facing a fatal threat and responded immediately,
Countless more subtle and deadly poisonous insects gushed out from the pores of his skin and even from his strangled neck, like a black tide, spreading up Naruto's arm strangled around his neck, ready to swallow and dissolve the attacker in an instant.
However, the moment the poisonous insect was about to touch Naruto's skin.
Naruto strangled the two people's arms, and his whole body suddenly changed!
The skin quickly lost color and turned into a rough Wood Grain. The body shape shriveled up as if it had been drained of moisture just before the poisonous insect bit it, turning into two pieces of tough wood tightly wrapped around the necks of Aburame Torune and Yamanaka Fū, and binding their bodies to the rock wall.
