"Kid, your time is up. Lord Danzo wants him alive. Break his arms and legs!"
The Root ninja wearing a fox mask spoke coldly, as though pronouncing judgment on something utterly insignificant. As his words fell, the dozen or so Root elites around him moved at once! They gave no battle cries and wasted no movement. Like killing machines that felt no pain and knew only how to follow orders, they worked together flawlessly.

Three Root ninja rapidly formed hand seals and spewed great clouds of purple poison mist from their mouths. Not only was this mist highly toxic, but it could also instantly paralyze an enemy's nerves. Inhaling even a little would immediately render them unable to move.
At the same time, another four ninja threw more than a dozen kunai bound with explosive tags, cutting off every possible avenue for Shengu Xuan to dodge. Meanwhile, their fox-masked leader formed a strange seal with both hands. The shadow beneath his feet slithered along the ground like a venomous snake, spreading rapidly toward Shengu Xuan's feet!
