Game Merchants Starting from the Ninja World

The Root ninja struggled to resist, their arms sinking lower and lower.

Until the blade in his hand was pressed against his shoulder blade, the heavy weight felt like it would break his bones, giving him a feeling that he wanted to throw it away.

Just hold on for two more seconds.

He had already caught a glimpse of his companion forming hand seals out of the corner of his eye.

Secret Technique: Shadow Imitation Technique.

The Root ninja, who hadn't made a formal move yet, suddenly unleashed a dark shadow from beneath his feet, which, aided by the moonlight, touched Sasuke's feet at an incredible speed.

success!

Chapter 84 Danzo Makes His Move

The moment the ninja touched Sasuke's shadow, the secret technique ninja amplified his chakra output.

He could feel the other person's violent struggle, as if it were a sea monster caught in a fishing net.

The more powerful the ninja, the more mental energy and chakra the caster needs to expend when controlled by the Shadow Imitation Technique.

"The force of this struggle is truly frightening, but it ends here!"

The secret ninja is very confident in his family's secret techniques.

Fifteen seconds

Sasuke is unlikely to be able to act.

This amount of time is enough for other Root ninjas to cut off the opponent's head.

Controlled by the Shadow Imitation Technique, Sasuke was unable to move and stood frozen in place.

the other side,

Two Root ninjas, wielding kunai with sharp spikes gleaming coldly, charged diagonally toward Sasuke in the center.

Sasuke maintained his downward grip on the sword.

His expression showed no sign of panic.

The ninja with the sword suddenly sensed something was wrong. Although Sasuke was being controlled by the Shadow Imitation Technique, the force that was being pressed down on him did not lessen at all.

Click.

Along the narrow, chipped edge, the katana, crafted by a master craftsman, suddenly broke apart.

The shattered fragments of the short blade flew about, reflecting shattered, scarlet eyes in the moonlight.

"go to hell!"

The Root ninja let out a low growl.

A sharp kunai pierced his throat, spurting out a fountain of warm blood; another pierced his heart, and he felt the flesh and blood suddenly stop beating.

The two Root ninjas exchanged a glance and smiled with relief.

Seeing Sasuke collapse with a blank expression, they suddenly felt something was strange.

Why do I feel like I have no strength left in my body?

A series of sounds rang in my ears.

It was the sound of teammates yelling.

"Stop, what are you doing?"

The two Root ninja blinked their bewildered eyes slightly.

Then they discovered that the kunai they were holding tightly had actually pierced each other's chests, and blood was flowing down their arms, making a dripping sound.

Right next to it,

Sasuke looked at the two of them with a mocking expression, his crimson Sharingan swirling.

"We clearly didn't look into his eyes; was it the light reflecting off the broken blade at that moment?"

The two men, their chests pierced, collapsed to the ground, their faces filled with resentment.

It was clearly a case of outnumbering the enemy.

They were all elite ninjas secretly trained by Root, fighting each other and their comrades, training at the risk of their lives, yet they were defeated so miserably in the end.

Is this the Uchiha clan?

That's what genius is.

"Do it quickly!"

The secret ninja roared.

His shadow imitation technique was still going strong; he only needed to swing his sword to kill his opponent and end the battle.

The Root ninja, whose sword had been severed, gripped the remaining hilt tightly. Sharp chakra enveloped the broken blade, and with his eyes closed, he swept it across Uchiha Sasuke's neck.

Next second,

I felt my head floating up, and when I opened my eyes, the world was upside down.

His vision gradually darkened, and after a moment of stunned silence, he suddenly realized what was happening.

Was his head broken?

The ninja, his eyes wide with shock, exclaimed, "Impossible! You broke free from my Shadow Imitation Technique?"

Sasuke glanced at him and took a deep breath.

Calm down your emotions.

Unexpectedly, the first ninja he killed was one of his own comrades from the village.

Control abilities like Shadow Imitation Technique, which are based on Yin-attribute chakra and are influenced by mental energy, are subject to interference from mental resistance. The higher a person's mental resistance, the more difficult it is to control.

Sasuke, who purchased the [Salina's Soul] purple jewelry set to resist Itachi Uchiha's Tsukuyomi, possesses terrifyingly high mental resistance.

It can break free from control in an instant.

Sasuke's intention in making the secret ninjas feel manipulated was purely to lure the Root ninjas over to kill them.

Just five minutes.

Three were seriously injured, one died, and the remaining secret technique ninja was no match for Sasuke.

They weren't too affected by their comrade's death; Root itself was a violent organization where people died every day. What worried them more was Danzo's disappointment.

at this time,

Sasuke suddenly sensed a surge of chakra rapidly approaching. He looked up sharply and saw a dark figure standing on the tall treetop.

Wind Release: Shuriken.

The two shuriken spun rapidly, and after being infused with chakra, they seemed to be coated with a sharp vortex as they flew over at an extremely fast speed.

Black Flame Curse Armor.

Before Sasuke could even mount a defensive stance, black flames erupted from his body, coalescing into a layer of black armor.

呲呲呲.

The two shuriken, like cutting machines, held for two seconds before actually slicing through the black armor that the Root ninja had previously managed to unharm when he released the Vacuum Ball.

However, Sasuke was given time to react, so he swung his sword into the hole of the shuriken and flung the two shuriken away.

boom!

After cutting through the Black Flame Curse Armor, the remaining force even severed two thick tree trunks.

"Sasuke Uchiha."

Danzo, completely shrouded in the shade of the tree, looked down at the young figure below with a look of disgust.

He glanced at the destroyed laboratory, then at the Root ninja lying on the ground, and demanded, "What is your punishment for killing a fellow villager?"

Sasuke's eyes narrowed warily as he retorted, "They attacked first. Am I guilty of resisting?"

He recognized the person who had just arrived.

He is Shimura Danzo, who serves as a high-level advisor to the village, and is also the actual leader of the Root organization as mentioned by Yakushi Kabuto.

It is highly likely that he is connected to that madman Itachi Uchiha and is involved in the mastermind behind the Uchiha clan massacre.

Thinking of this,

Sasuke felt an uncontrollable surge of anger welling up inside him, but his expression remained increasingly calm.

I'm not a hothead like Naruto. The angrier I get, the more I need to stay calm and deal with the battle that might come next.

After all, he possessed evidence of Danzo Shimura's human experimentation.

The other party is unlikely to let me off easily.

I glanced at the quest scroll; the quest to destroy the underground laboratory was complete, and the Soul Scroll had been added to my inventory as a reward.

"Even the Black Flame Curse Armor couldn't withstand the opponent's ninjutsu?"

Sasuke conducted an experiment.

The standard ninja armor in the village provides approximately 3 points of defense, while the daimyo's guards, wearing metal armor, can achieve 6 points of defense.

The Black Flame Curse Armor's defensive capabilities surpass those of almost all other protective gear in the ninja world.

Even a Jonin wouldn't be able to break through so easily.

So, is that... a shadow?

A ninja who surpasses elite Jonin and can withstand attacks from thousands of people is generally considered to possess the strength to be called the Kage of the Five Great Ninja Villages.

“You deliberately stole laboratory data and village secrets. They are all loyal secret agents of the village, so naturally they have to arrest you.”

Danzo quickly figured out what had happened.

Or rather, even without understanding the situation, he used the same rhetoric, coldly declaring, "Uchiha Sasuke killed an Anbu ninja, an unforgivable crime. I will annihilate the evil Uchiha clan!"

He never expected that Laboratory No. 9 would be discovered by Sasuke, an Uchiha orphan.
