Chapter 63 The Root (Please read further and vote with monthly tickets)

"You are not a cloud!"

The dark clouds roared in anger.

Xuan Yi pounced on the tree and, after several slashes, the blind Yun Ren was slit in the throat.

The other two Cloud Ninjas had just broken free of the illusion and, seeing their companion's tragic death, immediately roared and charged towards Genichi under the tree.

On the other side, Uchiha Nagato was overjoyed and lunged at the Cloud Ninja on his left who was attacking him.

puff!
Blood splattered as Uchiha Namikaze easily killed one of them, while the other two Cloud Ninjas, having just broken free of the genjutsu, were confronted by Uchiha Namikaze's crimson Sharingan with its two tomoe.

The art of golden binding!

The two Cloud Ninja were immobilized. Although one of them broke free in an instant and retreated, blood still spurted from his chest. Uchiha Rinpo had slashed open a gash in his chest, almost cutting it open.

Meanwhile, another Cloud Ninja who failed to break free of the genjutsu was kicked away by Uchiha Rinpo, and then a shuriken accurately struck his forehead.

At this moment, the three Cloud Ninja who were originally going to continue pursuing Yamanaka En had no choice but to turn back.

Because of the brief exchange, three of them died.

If they leave, the remaining companions might also be taken care of by these two.

After all, Yun and his group of seven had previously surrounded and killed that genius who might be called Shuxia Xuanyi, but it turned out that the enemy was disguised as Yun.

They were too careless!

shhhhhh!
Genichi Shushita and Nagao stood back to back, while six Cloud Ninja surrounded them.

Two of them were injured, one with a knife wound to the chest, from Uchiha Namikaze.

One person had a knife in his waist and abdomen, a short sword from Genichi Shushita.

Despite this, Genichi Kishita sensed a great deal of danger.

None of these Cloud Ninja were weak; they were at least Chunin.

In this situation, the Cloud Ninja will no longer give him time to form hand seals.

Genichi Shushita decided that after this mission, he must develop one-handed hand seals.

But now, we must break through, otherwise we'll probably die here.

As for the teacher, Hatake Sakumo.

Regardless of the unclear situation in the town, Genichi Kinoshita estimated that since his teacher, Sakumo Hatake, hadn't arrived yet, the other three Cloud Ninja would catch up first, making things even more dangerous.

We cannot engage in direct confrontation.

"Langyi, charge out first!"

Xuan Yi whispered under the tree.

Uchihachi nodded.

But just as the Cloud Ninja was about to make a move, several figures suddenly appeared.

A dark swarm of insects descended, shadows stretched rapidly across the ground, and large swords stood like door panels.

The sudden attack caught many of the Cloud Ninja off guard, and they couldn't even take care of Xuan Yi and the other two under the tree.

Reinforcements!

Xuan Yi was overjoyed and immediately sheathed his sword and formed a hand seal.

Illusion, the art of darkness.

It still involves group coverage, and even if the accuracy is not high, it can play a huge role at this time.

Uchihachi had already launched his attack while Genichi was forming hand seals under the tree.

Screams erupted one after another.

In just a few breaths, only two Cloud Ninjas remained, both wounded, and they fled.

"Xuan Yi, Lang Yi, are you alright?!"

Yamanaka En appeared in front of Genichi under the tree.

"fine!"

Shuxia Xuanyi shook his head and looked at the reinforcements.

These people were all wearing masks, clearly indicating they came from the underworld.

But...why not give chase?

At this moment, a masked man standing on a tree branch looked down at Xuan Yi below and asked, "Do you have the intelligence?"

"Come back to the village with us immediately!"

Ok?
Upon hearing this, Genichi Shushita immediately understood that En Yamanaka had deceived these ninjas from the Anbu.

“Xuan Yi, they come from the Root.”

Yamanaka En's voice rang in Genichi's ear under the tree.

Genichi Shushita's mind raced. He reached into his ninja tool pouch, clenched his fist, and shoved it into Yanagi's arms. Then he pulled his hand away and turned around: "Yamagi, you take the intelligence and retreat first. Ryouichi, we'll go meet up with the captain!" Ryouichi Uchiha nodded.

Yamanaka En also wanted to go, but he knew that he had to take the intelligence back with him, rather than handing it over directly to the Root members.

Of course, the intelligence was already on him all along.

However, he lied to the people in the root.

Otherwise, these Root ninjas wouldn't have come to rescue Genichi and his companion if they were only there to meet the intelligence provider.

Of course, perhaps these Root ninjas guessed that he was lying.

But Yamanaka Yan knew they wouldn't dare gamble.

……

"Xuan Yi, did those Root ninjas already know that there was something wrong with this mission?"

Uchihachi asked with a grim expression.

Shuxia Xuan remained expressionless: "He might know, he might not."

Even if we deliberately use them as bait, so what?
"hateful!"

Uchihachi has already determined that there is a problem with the root.

In particular, there were quite a few people from the Root unit, a total of six, who could easily have been assigned a small team to meet up with Hatake Sakumo, but they showed no intention of doing so.

Genichi Shushita also believed that there was a problem with the roots.

While it's understandable that Root ninjas might do this for the sake of intelligence security, there's nothing inherently wrong with it.

But the butt determines the head.

What gives him the right to consider things from the perspective of the roots?

If they hadn't known there was a problem beforehand, the people from the root wouldn't have arrived so conveniently.

But there's no use talking about that now. The most important thing is to get our teacher, Sakumo Hatake, out of trouble.

As for the problems with this mission, Genichi Koushi blamed Danzo, and said he would settle the score later.

"Lang Yi!"

In the blink of an eye, Xuan Yi under the tree let out a low shout and then changed direction.

"Xuan Yi?"

Uchihachi, who was following behind, was puzzled.

Xuan Yi said from under the tree: "If the teacher wants to break through, he won't take the same route as us."

Can Sakumo Hatake eliminate all those who are surrounding and killing him?
I'm afraid it will be difficult.

The Cloud Ninja came prepared this time, and the arrangement of the town was probably the most crucial element.

Genichi Kishita guessed that if his teacher, Sakumo Hatake, wanted to break through, he wouldn't take their route, as that would bring in even more enemies.

Furthermore, if they return along the same route, they will likely encounter the Cloud Ninja who escaped earlier.

So he turned towards the coast.

After leaving the woods, we walked along the coast towards the small town we had visited before.

really.

After some time, Genichi saw his teacher, Sakumo Hatake, and the Cloud Ninja chasing closely behind.

Overjoyed, Xuan Yi immediately stopped under the tree and formed a hand seal.

Uchihachi landed on a protruding rock nearby, knife in hand, ready to pounce at any moment.

However, when Sakumo Hatake arrived beside the two, the Cloud Ninja behind them stopped in their tracks.

Genichi, holding back his illusion technique, kept his eyes fixed on the Cloud Ninja while asking with concern, "Master, how are your injuries?"

Sakumo Hatake's face was a little pale, but his voice was still strong: "It's nothing, just a flesh wound."

Genichi under the tree breathed a sigh of relief, then changed his hand seals and created a shadow clone to heal and stop the bleeding of Sakumo Hatake.

The Cloud Ninja on the opposite side were eager to attack, but they did not come forward.

After treating Sakumo Hatake's injuries, the three immediately retreated.

The Cloud Ninja trailed far behind.

At the border of the Land of the Sun, Genichi and his two companions finally reunited with Enya and the others.

However, the Cloud Ninja followed behind.

Moreover, the number of Cloud Ninja has exceeded twenty.

Genichi Shushita knew that another battle with the Cloud Ninja was inevitable.

The Cloud Ninja would absolutely not be willing to let them leave like this.
