Naruto, your uncle is going to be Hokage!

"Naruto, you can go back on your own from here on out. I have some things to take care of."

Namikaze Mirai crouched down, stroking Naruto's hair with a gentle smile.

"Huh! What's going on? Wasn't Uncle supposed to go back and make dinner for Naruto?"

Naruto tilted his head, looking confused.

We just agreed to have dinner together.

Why did you suddenly change your mind?

"Because my uncle suddenly had some things to take care of!"

"But……"

Naruto hesitated, looking at the empty street. It didn't seem like anything was going on around him.

A large hand ruffled Naruto's hair, and Mirai Namikaze's eyes crinkled into crescent moons with laughter.

"Don't worry, Uncle is very strong!"

Naruto's heart finally calmed down, and he nodded, revealing a bright smile.

"Uncle, after you've finished taking care of things, remember to come back and make dinner for Naruto!"

"Of course, Uncle will definitely keep his promise to Naruto, pinky promise!"

"Okay, pinky promise!"

Naruto walked away satisfied, heading towards the end of the street under the watchful gaze of Mirai Namikaze, until he disappeared from sight.

"Come out!"

His voice was as cold as ice.

Chapter 14 The Three Years That Disappeared

"As expected of Blue Flash, it found us so easily."

The voice was devoid of any emotion, as cold as some kind of machine.

Whoosh!Whoosh!Whoosh!

As several whooshing sounds rang out, several masked ninjas suddenly appeared around Namikaze Mirai.

They formed a surrounding array, completely encircling him in the middle, leaving no room for escape.

The mask's patterns are simpler, almost devoid of animal features, exuding a cold, machine-like aura...

"The roots?"

Namikaze Mirai scoffed.

"It seems Danzo finally couldn't hold back anymore. Sending only a few of you to your deaths is a bit of an underestimation of me, isn't it?"

A team of ten elite members from Root, half of whom are Jonin!

The other five were all Special Jonin level.

He possesses a special sensory ability to detect biomagnetic fields, and to some extent, he can also sense the approximate strength of an enemy.

This is why he was able to detect these roots the moment they approached.

As for whether Naruto would be in danger, Namikaze Mirai was not worried.

Naruto is the Nine-Tails' jinchūriki, a very important figure, so Danzo wouldn't dare to act rashly against him.

Most importantly, there are no unfamiliar biomagnetic fields on the path back from here.

This means that these roots are coming for him, and Naruto's safety should be guaranteed.

"Namikaze Mirai, please come with us. Lord Danzo is looking for you."

Although the word "please" was used, the harsh and cold tone conveyed no intention of asking.

His right hand began to reach for the ninja sword, locking onto all his movements.

If Namikaze disagrees, he might face a fierce attack!

"Lead the way!"

Namikaze Mirai's expression remained calm.

This is the street of Konoha. Although it is evening, there are few pedestrians.

But fighting here, you can't really unleash your full potential.

Following the roots, we gradually moved away from the prosperous area and came to a secluded forest.

Namikaze Mirai glanced around.

"Where's Danzo?"

Almost simultaneously, the people surrounding them drew their ninja swords and charged forward.

"Lord Danzo wants you to go to the underworld to see him!"

Several long ninja swords reflected a cold glint, almost completely blocking Namikaze Mirai's escape route, aiming straight for vital points and ruthlessly slashing down.

Namikaze Mirai's expression remained unchanged. To his surprise, the trajectory of his ninja sword was unaffected by the slight movement of the electromagnetic force.

"Don't waste your energy! This is a ninja tool specially made for you, it doesn't contain any metal!"

A ferocious glint flashed in the eyes of the leader, and the sharp tip of his blade pierced towards the neck of Namikaze Mirai.

They had already rehearsed countless times for this mission.

There is no metal on its entire body!

Even the ninja tools in her hands are made of other materials, and they have been specially dyed with a metallic sheen in order to lull Namikaze Mirai into a false sense of security.

The scene before my eyes suddenly blurred, and the Root Ninja Sword pierced Namikaze Mirai, but there was no response.

Afterimage?!

Before I could react, I felt a loud bang from behind, and my body felt like it had been hit by a cannonball, and I was sent flying backward like a kite with a broken string.

It smashed through the trunk of a tree that was as thick as a person's embrace, then smashed through another large tree behind it, and fell to the ground, limp and soft like putty.

Bloody and bloody!

It's not even human-like!

"Damn! So fast!"

The rest of the roots witnessed this scene, their eyelids twitching.

Namikaze Mirai was still at the spot where she had just been knocked away, her body bathed in arcs of lightning, her right leg still in the kicking position.

Even though they already knew that Namikaze was moving at an extremely fast pace, seeing this scene in person still shocked the Root members.

Kill instantly with one hit!

An acceleration technique that surpasses Lightning Release Chakra Mode!

At short to medium distances, it can even rival spatial and temporal capabilities!

"Change formation!"

The remaining roots spread out, abandoning the idea of ​​engaging in close combat with the future whirlwind.

The tactic of launching surprise attacks with non-metallic weapons has become ineffective.

Namikaze's future speed is enough to turn the tide of any battle!

"too slow."

The voice was devoid of any emotion, flat as if it were spoken casually.

But this sent a chill down the spines of these root-roots.

Whoosh!

Electromagnetic propulsion!

Namikaze Mirai's body seemed to transform into a bolt of lightning, and in a flash, she appeared in front of a Root member.

As he was forming hand seals, he saw Namikaze Mirai's indifferent face enter his field of vision, his expression changed drastically, and he instinctively tried to pull away.

but!

Bang!

A dull sound, like something breaking, ripped open a huge hole in the abdominal cavity at the base of the body. The mixed organs, flesh, and bones burst into a rain of blood, staining the forest behind it red.

Namikaze Mirai withdrew her fist and glanced at the rest of the Root.

"Fire escape! Ash accumulation burns!"

Fire Release: Fire Dragon Flame!

The two Root Jonin simultaneously inhaled sharply, their timing impeccable, as if they had rehearsed it countless times.

Thick, grayish-brown smoke billowed from one of the roots, spreading through the forest in an instant and engulfing the future of the ripples in the middle.

On the other side, the dragon-shaped flames ignited the smoke and dust, and with a loud bang, the burst of fire engulfed Namikaze Mirai's body.
