A giant dragon made entirely of trees burst forth from the earth with a roar!
A deafening dragon roar echoed through the sky.
The dragon's head lifted Shinomiya Yuuki high, its coiled body shielding him from all attacks.
"What's this?!"
"Didn't the intelligence indicate that he only knew hand-to-hand combat?"
Shinomiya Yuuki stood atop the dragon's head, looking down at the stunned Root members around her.
In the blink of an eye, the massive wooden dragon coiled up and annihilated all the enemies who had drawn their swords!
"what……"
The continuous screams quickly dissipated.
At this moment, only the two Root members who hadn't engaged in close combat remained alive in the arena.
"Wood Release?!"
The two were terrified.
They simply couldn't believe that Shinomiya Yuuki could use Wood Release!
And on such a massive scale!
"So this is what killing feels like..."
"It doesn't seem like a big deal."
Shinomiya Yuuki muttered softly, this was the first time in his two lifetimes that he had personally ended a life.
He seems to be adapting quite well.
"Alright, you two go down and keep your teammates company. We can't let the team fall apart!"
With a wave of her hand, countless sharp wooden spears suddenly shot up from the ground.
Piercing the two men through their bodies, hanging them high above...
Even at the very last moment of their lives, their faces were filled with disbelief.
"I never imagined I'd be a 'puncture surgeon' one day."
Yuuki Shinomiya landed on her wooden dragon, and the moment it touched the ground, the wooden dragon and all traces of Wood Release vanished without a trace.
Leave no trace
Aside from those who also possess Wood Release, ordinary ninjas couldn't discern what had killed them.
Then, Shinomiya Yuuki, with her hands behind her back, hummed a little tune and leisurely walked towards her little house.
However, this night was destined to be anything but peaceful.
Following the incident involving the Hyuga clan, Shinomiya Yuuki's file was quickly placed on the desks of various powerful factions.
——Hyuga Clan Residence——
"Are you sure this is his file?" Hiashi Hyuga frowned, the document in his hand looking completely different from the Shinomiya Yuuki he had seen today.
Hyuga Kiyochi bowed his head and answered affirmatively, "He was directly transferred from the Ninja Academy."
"That's really strange..."
Hiashi Hyuga was completely baffled.
"Six years at the bottom of the class..."
Either I misjudged today, or there's a special reason behind it.
But I think it should be the latter.
Hiashi Hyuga set the file aside: "Regardless, we won't get involved in this matter; we'll just observe and see how things unfold."
"If necessary, we can provide some assistance to Shinomiya Yuuki at the appropriate time."
"Yes," Hinata Seiki nodded in response.
——Hokage Building——
Documents from the Anbu were also received on Hiruzen Sarutobi's desk.
In this peaceful era, the fact that the Hyuga clan's home was broken into is already quite a disturbance.
Not to mention that it also involves Shinomiya Yuuki, who is suspected of being a genius, which forces the Hokage to take it seriously.
"Defeat four Hyuga Chunin in an instant using taijutsu?"
"Are you sure it's him?"
Hiruzen Sarutobi took a puff of his old pipe, his face full of surprise.
He was also filled with doubts, but he knew Shinomiya Yuuki and knew her status as a bottom-of-the-class student. What shocked him now was that Shinomiya Yuuki had actually been hiding such strength.
The Hyuga clan specializes in Gentle Fist and taijutsu (physical combat) is their forte, yet Shinomiya Yuuki defeated them in their area of expertise.
Considering his age, before he has even graduated, it's really quite exaggerated.
"This is a record obtained from the Hyuga side, so there shouldn't be too many discrepancies," the Anbu replied.
"This is strange..."
Just as Hiruzen Sarutobi was lost in thought, the office door suddenly opened, and Danzo Shimura walked in with a solemn expression.
Hiruzen Sarutobi gave the ANBU member a wink, signaling him to leave the room.
After the man left, he turned to Danzo and asked, "Danzo, what brings you here?"
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content!
Danzo Shimura strolled to his desk and casually tossed a stack of documents down.
Hiruzen Sarutobi picked it up and saw that it was information about Yuuki Shinomiya.
"What's the point of showing me this?"
"I happen to have this on hand."
"Don't you think there's something strange about this Shinomiya Yuuki?" Danzo asked.
"That's true to some extent, but..."
Before Hiruzen Sarutobi could finish speaking, Danzo coldly interrupted him, "This person has a close relationship with the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, and seems to be hiding a secret. I believe he should be taken back for interrogation."
Hiruzen Sarutobi frowned. "This is unnecessary. I will speak with him myself tomorrow."
Danzo Shimura, however, disagreed: "Hiruzen, you're always so indecisive!"
"This concerns the safety of the Nine-Tails' Jinchūriki. Do you want the Nine-Tails' rampage to repeat itself?"
Danzo's righteous words left Hiruzen Sarutobi's expression uncertain; he took a deep drag on his pipe.
Finally, he said in a deep voice, "Let's postpone this for now. After all, he's Naruto's friend. We don't need to make things tense."
Danzo Shimura narrowed his eyes, a hint of mockery flashing within them: "I knew you'd say that."
"But you don't need to wait. I've already sent someone to 'invite' him, and the truth will soon come out."
Having said that, Danzo turned to leave.
Bang!
Hiruzen Sarutobi suddenly flew into a rage and slammed his fist on the table.
"Danzo! Do you even respect my existence as the Hokage?!"
Danzo Shimura paused, but did not reply.
Hiruzen Sarutobi stared at his retreating figure, and made a decision in his heart:
"From this day forward, your position as Hokage's assistant is revoked, and your 'Root' organization is dissolved effective immediately."
"Danzo, you are not young anymore, and it is not appropriate for you to interfere in affairs too much. The future of Konoha should be entrusted to those outstanding young people."
"I will send someone to take over 'Root' tomorrow. You should prepare for the handover."
"Also, release them immediately upon returning. Don't make me personally come to demand their return."
At this moment, Hiruzen Sarutobi displayed a rare display of strength.
Danzo Shimura turned around abruptly, his eyes filled with disbelief: "Hiruzen, you're going to treat me like this just because of someone of unknown origin?"
"He's different; he's Naruto's only friend."
Hiruzen Sarutobi turned and looked up at the bright moon in the night sky.
"I promised Minato that I would take good care of Naruto, but I broke my promise..."
"Shinomiya Yuuki, as Naruto's friend, has been by his side for many years and is practically his brother."
"If something happens to him, how can I face Naruto?"
"How am I supposed to face Minato and the others after I go down there?!"
Danzo Shimura was so angry that his face turned ashen.
It was originally just a random arrest operation.
