I rely on myself

Chapter 707

Jie looked at the Root ninjas around him trying in vain to find any trace of him, but to no avail.

The reason for this is not that Jie's hiding methods are so clever, it's just a simple blind spot.

Compared to the mainstream hiding methods in the ninja world today, that is, various secret techniques or bloodline limits to hide oneself, all of them require the use of chakra, and the same is true for countermeasures.

The technique that Jie now uses to hide himself is somewhat different, as it is powered by natural energy.

There is a prerequisite for learning immortal arts, which is to completely calm one's mind. Only in this way can one sense natural energy. A slight expansion of this technique is to allow the user's own breath to completely blend with the surrounding environment, and then use natural energy to hide oneself, which is why the scene in the underground space at the root is now created.

After exhausting all means of investigation and failing to find the intruder, a Root ninja had no choice but to reply to his leader: "Danzo-sama, I'm very sorry, the barrier team and the perception-type ninjas have tried every means to find no trace of the intruder."

"........."

Hearing his subordinate say this, if it were any other time, Danzo would have punished him severely no matter how serious the punishment was, but facing the current situation, he still knew the severity of the matter, so he just made a note of it and put it aside for later. As for now, what was more important was to find the invader.

Since their own means of detection could not find any, they would just lure the other side into revealing a flaw. As a knowledgeable ninja, Danzo still had some ability. He quickly thought of a solution and implemented it immediately.

"How dare you, a mere Snow Country member, to rely on your ability to lurk to invade Konoha's confidential area. If you don't want your small country to be destroyed by Konoha's revenge, show up and surrender immediately. I may consider sparing your life!"

Danzo uttered these threatening words in one breath without even thinking, which shows how skilled he is and how many times he has said them.

In the face of this threat, Jie simply sneered and retorted: "So the famous Ninja World's Anshi Village Danzo can't be so naive that he thinks that a few words can scare me?"

Danzo was certainly not naive enough to think that he could make the other party surrender with just a few simple words. He was just taking the opportunity to test them.

Hearing the invader's response, Danzo immediately signaled his subordinates with his eyes to take the opportunity to look for the other party, but it was obvious that they still couldn't find any trace of him.

Of course, Jie saw Danzo's actions and knew his opponent's plan, but at the same time, he was very confident in his own methods.

Although it was not a very sophisticated method, due to the limitation of his vision, he was still very confident that it would not be easy for the other party to find him, and the result was indeed so.

Jie took out his weapon, an emerald green spear. He had already realized that the other party would not respond to him with words alone, so he did not intend to continue talking nonsense, but took action directly.

On the other side, Danzo felt distressed for a moment when he saw that even if the other party spoke, he couldn't find the other party's location. After all, there was really no way, it wasn't that serious.

The worst that could happen is to use a large-scale attack to force the other party to show up, but that would inevitably cause too much noise. Danzo didn't want to cause that if possible, but it seemed that there was no other way now.

Just when Danzo was about to try to draw out the opponent's weakness through words, Jie spoke first: "Well, it's getting late, and there's no point in continuing to talk, so let's get down to business."

"Everyone, be alert! The other side is taking action! Once the invader shows up, hold him back at all costs!!" Upon hearing this, Danzo and the other Root ninjas present knew that Jie was about to take action, so they immediately reminded him and gave an order that showed no regard for the lives of their subordinates. All the Root ninjas accepted it very naturally and planned to execute it.

Looking at this scene, Jie already had a very bad impression of the Root, and now it was even worse. The expression on his face turned completely cold.

"You don't think you can stop me like this, you're so naive!"

"call out----!!"

The moment Jie started, his figure seemed to disappear in an instant, and before anyone present could react, a green edge quietly appeared in front of Danzo with a faint sound of breaking through the air, and flashed past.

It was not until the green edge disappeared that Danzo reacted, and at the same time he felt something scratching the right side of his waist.

Danzo quickly reached out and touched the right side of his waist, only to feel a liquid and a tingling pain at the same time.

He quickly looked at his palm and saw a dazzling red color in Danzo's eyes. There was no doubt that in the moment when no one could react, the invader left a wound on his waist.

"Danzo-sama!!!"

The Root ninjas who were on guard around Danzo immediately became anxious when they saw this scene and wanted to surround them to check it out. However, Danzo himself reacted and quickly waved his hand to signal them to remain on guard and not to disrupt their formation, so as not to give the enemy a chance to take advantage.

Although Danzo seemed to be very calm on the surface, in fact, his back was covered in cold sweat because he was scared.

God knows what he was thinking when he felt the wound on the right side of his waist and suppressed the fear.

"So this is what you rely on? Naive! You don't think you can do whatever you want in Konoha with just this little ability? Where do you think this place is now? This is Konoha, the winner of all the Ninja World Wars, the leader of the five great ninja villages..."

It’s better to lose the battle than the fight. Even though he was scared out of his wits, Danzo still looked fearless and continued to shout, at least that’s what Jie thought.

At the same time, Danzo also believed that the reason he was injured was just because of his carelessness for a moment, and that the opponent took advantage of his sneak attack. He thought that as long as he was more cautious, he would not be injured again.

Or maybe he still doesn't want to admit the fact that he is powerless in the face of the threat from a small country.

Jie also completely lost his patience after hearing the other party's bluffing and interrupted directly, "Don't get it wrong, what you said is indeed the truth, but you seem to have got the order wrong."

"what?"

"The reason why you are the leader of the five great ninja villages and the winner of every Ninja World War is not because you are from Konoha, but because you are stronger. Similarly, I am stronger than you now, so you can't do anything to me. It's better to recognize this, Master Danzo."
