Chapter 33 Roots

The full moon hangs high in the sky.

The faint moonlight shines, adding a touch of light to the deep night.

Arriving outside Tansho Street, Yurobe Xuanyue, who stands in the darkness, looks back behind him. Several dark figures that blend into the night are approaching him silently.

"Konoha Anbu. No, the colors of these people's masks are richer and more weird, and they look more like the Root."

Yurobe Xuanyue certainly remembers the Root and the famous Konoha scapegoat Danzo.

"I have been discovered. Is it because of the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki?"

Yurobe Xuanyue doesn't think the Root can guess his whereabouts.

Otherwise, if they really set a trap for him, it will definitely not be just these people.

The greater possibility is because of Naruto, the very important Nine-Tails Jinchuriki.

I think this group of Root ninjas were ordered to monitor the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki's every move. I was just observing the behavior outside the izakaya, and coincidentally I was discovered by this group of secret agents who were also distributed on the periphery.

"I don't know whether it is your luck or misfortune."

Hagoromo Gengetsu stopped and let the Root ninjas surround him.

One, two, three, four

A total of eight Root ninjas.

In terms of configuration, there are two teams, and they took turns to monitor the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki before.

At this time.

Compared with the bustle in Tansho Street, the street outside the wall is silent.

Even if there are eight more people at this moment.

The Root ninjas were silent from beginning to end. Only the leader, after recognizing Hagoromo Gengetsu's appearance and quickly determining the target, did not hesitate and made several tactical moves. The two Root teams moved in an orderly manner in an instant.

Clang~clang~clang~

The sound of the ninja swords being unsheathed broke the silence.

Eight Root Ninjas formed a battle formation, and with bursts of air-breaking sounds, they coldly and ruthlessly attacked Yuro Gengetsu.

Of course, the first to arrive were the overwhelming Kunai Shurikens.

"Boring."

Yuro Gengetsu said lightly, stretched out his hand in front of him, and a kunai that was rushing towards him was lightly held in his hand.

Dangdangdangdang

The sound of metal clashing rang out rapidly.

The Kunai in Yuro Gengetsu's hand turned into an airtight net, cutting off all the Kunai Shurikens shot from all directions.

Until a rapid sonic boom sounded.

Under the instant body technique, a Root Ninja holding a slender Ninja Sword fiercely slashed at Yuro Gengetsu's neck.

Yuro Gengetsu calmly stepped back, and the Ninja Sword's blade passed by him by a hair's breadth.

Without waiting for the Root Ninja to do anything else.

The kunai in Yurobe Gentsuki's hand shot out with wind-attribute chakra.

After years of hard training, the Root Ninja, who had already formed a conditioned reflex, tilted his head and dodged the kunai.

But when Yurobe Gentsuki approached, he was a beat slower.

Crack.

The Root Ninja groaned as his wrist was instantly shattered.

Yurobe Gentsuki forcibly took away his ninja sword, kicked it away, then turned around, raised his arm, and swung the sword.

Everything happened too fast.

In the eyes of others, their companions were kicked away by Yurobe Gentsuki after just charging and swiping their swords.

Another Root Ninja who flashed behind Yurobe Gentsuki and was about to attack saw a cold silver light rushing over before he could react.

"Uh"

The man subconsciously covered his bleeding neck and fell down powerlessly.

"The first one."

Hagoromo Gengetsu raised his ninja sword dripping with blood and announced calmly.

The remaining Root ninjas did not change their aura at all, and attacked again without even looking at their dead teammates.

The sharp sword light continued to ring.

Under the inhumane and cruel training, although the Root ninjas are much stronger than ordinary ninjas, they are still far behind Hagoromo Gengetsu, even in a restricted state.

Soon, under the crisp and sharp sword light, two more Root ninjas were cut down by Hagoromo Gengetsu.

Just as he raised his ninja sword and was about to pierce another silent Root ninja rushing towards him with ease.

Dang.

The tip of the sword seemed to hit something hard and could not go deeper.

"Earth escape·hardening technique?"

Noticing that the person's surface was brown and rock-like, Hagoromo Gengetsu retracted his ninja sword, stepped back, and then

Tear!

The dazzling lightning flashed into the eyes of the hardening technique ninja.

Just as the latter's pupils suddenly shrank, Yuyi Xuanyue's blade wrapped in blue lightning stabbed again.

Like a knife cutting tofu.

This time, the tip of the knife pierced through the hardening technique without any hindrance, and instantly pierced the person in front of him.

Hot blood spurted out of the mouth of the root ninja in front of him and sprinkled inside the mask.

Clearly feeling the passing of his life, he did not wail for mercy, but remained silent, not retreating but advancing, letting the blade rub against his body, but holding Yuyi Xuanyue's hands holding the ninja sword tightly with both hands, not letting it leave.

At the same time, a Root Ninja who noticed this scene really stretched out his hands, and took advantage of the time just now to quickly cultivate the self-destructing insects that were not afraid of lightning escape and flew out from his sleeves densely, turning into a huge black cloud, covering Yurobe Xuanyue.

In just a moment, seeing the insect army coming, Yurobe Xuanyue, whose hands were temporarily bound, frowned slightly, and as his eyes moved, the cold metallic color covered his whole body.

It was the blood limit: steel escape.

Boom boom boom~~~

The insect army from the Aburame clan decisively self-destructed.

A small mushroom cloud rose slowly in the violent roar.

When everything disappeared, the remaining Root Ninjas who had prepared the sealing scroll and were ready to seal Yurobe Xuanyue were ready to take a step.

Suddenly, they stopped in their tracks, and looked at the explosion site with a rare fluctuation of breath.

In a huge deep pit, the root ninja who cast the hardening technique had been blown to pieces and never seen again.

As for the real center of the explosion.

Yurobe Xuanyue, who had no missing limbs at all, walked out calmly from inside.

Crack~ Crack~

While walking, Yurobe Xuanyue looked at the steel escape covering his whole body and was breaking.

He had fought with the four shadows so many times before, but his steel escape did not break.

Now, after only one attack from the secret technique of the Aburame clan, it became like this.

Yurobe Xuanyue shook his head involuntarily.

The gap is too big.

But even if the strength he exerted is limited, he can still deal with the remaining people.

Yurobe Xuanyue looked at the remaining four root ninjas, and with a tiptoe, a broken sword left over from the previous battle fell into his palm.

The next second, the dazzling lightning escape chakra wrapped the blade again.

Yurobe Xuanyue looked at the remaining people and said lightly:

"Are you going to commit suicide, or do I do it myself."

No response.

Everything was done in silence.

Until the end.

Yuyi Xuanyue glanced at the long shadow that was barely noticeable under his feet.

As it became fainter and fainter, he swung his sword and slashed.

In the end, the only remaining Root ninja from the Nara clan was completely killed.

At this point, the two Root teams were completely wiped out.
