But I never expected it to cause such a strong backlash!

He understood that Hiruzen Sarutobi had been looking for an opportunity to restrain him, but he hadn't expected it to happen so quickly.

In the end, Danzo Shimura left with a cold laugh, his anger flaring.

Returning to the eerie "Roots" organization base,

Before Danzo could catch his breath,

One of his men brought another piece of "good news".

"Lord Danzo, the twelve-person team we dispatched to capture Shinomiya Yuuki has been out of contact for half an hour."

Danzo nearly fainted from anger upon hearing this.

Two Jonin and ten Chunin were dealing with a kid who hadn't even graduated from the Ninja Academy, and yet they still made a mistake?

"A bunch of trash!"

"Recall those useless bastards! Mission canceled!"

Danzo Shimura ordered that since Hiruzen Sarutobi had clearly decided to protect Yuuki Shinomiya, he could not confront him directly for the time being.

This matter had to be put on hold for the time being.

"As ordered!"

The subordinate accepted the order and left.

Within ten minutes, the "Root" member returned in a panic.

"Something terrible has happened, Lord Danzo! They're all dead!"

Danzo had just poured himself a cup of hot tea when he heard this devastating news, and the teacup shattered in his hand.

He glared at his subordinate: "What did you say?"

"None of the twelve who went to capture Shinomiya Yuuki survived!"

"Their last known location was not Shinomiya Yuzuki's residence, but the Forest of Death, suggesting that someone deliberately lured them in and killed them."

"Take me there! Now!" Shimura Danzo suddenly stood up.

Soon after, Danzo Shimura led a large group of Root members to the Forest of Death.

What came into view were twelve corpses lying on the ground, a truly gruesome sight.

However, for Danzo, this was just a minor incident.

His face was ashen as he stepped forward to carefully examine the body.

After examining him, his pupils suddenly contracted:

"Wood Release?!"

Chapter 16: Rebirth: I Am Uchiha Sasuke

At dawn, just as the sky was breaking, Shinomiya Yuuki's door was awakened by a series of urgent knocks.

Outside the door, Yamanaka Ino, carrying steaming hot buns, knocked on the door without getting a response. She then decisively pulled out her spare key and pushed the door open.

Entering the bedroom, one sees the curtains tightly drawn, letting in almost no light. Shinomiya Yuuki is fast asleep, showing no signs of waking.

"Still not up?!" Ino's voice carried a hint of disbelief.

Are you going to school today or not?

As she spoke, she used "gentle" methods to practically "invite" Youyue out of bed.

After some tugging, the two finally stepped out of the house, officially beginning their new day's journey.

As she walked, Yuyue munched on a steamed bun, casually pondering whether she should do something sensational today.

Just then, a figure suddenly appeared in front of the two like a ghost.

"Lady Shinomiya Yuuki, the Hokage summons you. Please come with me."

The newcomer wore a distinctive operative mask, and his speech revealed a unique politeness and meticulousness, making his identity self-evident.

Yuzuki examined them for a moment and confirmed that they were not Danzo's secret "Root" agents, but rather genuine members of the Anbu.

However, he declined the summons: "I'm sorry, I'm in a hurry to get to school. Why don't you come find me after school this afternoon?"

"I will convey this to the Third Hokage. Thank you for your time."

After speaking, the members of the Dark Guard vanished into thin air, leaving behind a faint afterimage.

"It's happening again. Why don't you take some time to go to the Hokage's office? It's not good to have people coming to your door every day."

Ino looked in the direction the Anbu had left and suggested to Yuuki...

Being visited by people for two consecutive days is indeed a headache.

Yuzuki smiled and waved her hand: "It's okay, let's put it aside for now."

"Alright, since you've made up your mind..."

Ino had no objection to Yuuki's decision, and the two continued their journey toward the Ninja Academy.

Just then, a strange chanting sound came from behind, breaking the morning's tranquility.

Yuzuki stopped in her tracks: "What the commotion is?"

Soon after, two figures dressed in green bodysuits flashed past in a strange, upside-down running posture.

They were none other than the energetic Matt Kee and his apprentice Rock Lee.

"Ah! This is youth, Xiao Li! Run five more laps, hang in there, let's make our youth burn!"

"Yes, Teacher Kai!"

Might Guy's passionate shouts inspired Rock Lee, seemingly filling his already exhausted body with renewed strength.

"Hey, it's you guys, Kai, Li, good morning!"

Yuzuki greeted her in a friendly manner.

He once longed for the "Eight Gates" technique, believing that even without the talent to become a ninja, specializing in taijutsu would be a good path.

Therefore, he once took the initiative to approach Matt Kay and asked to train together.

Matt Kai readily agreed, welcoming all comers, and soon Yuzuki joined their intensive training.

unfortunately

The training intensity was extraordinary; Yuzuki only lasted three days before giving up.

Nevertheless, their relationship became quite harmonious as a result.

"It's you, young man striving for success! Yuyue, would you like to join our exhilarating youth training program?"

Matt Kai raised his thick eyebrows and extended an invitation with great enthusiasm.

Yuzuki gave a wry smile: "Um, I think I'll pass. I have to rush to school."

"What a pity, but going to school is also important! Keep it up, young man!"

"Xiao Li, let's keep going!"

Leaving behind words of encouragement, Matt Kay, along with Rock Lee, continued their journey of burning youth.

Watching the figure of the strongest ninja in the world recede into the distance, Yuuki stroked her chin thoughtfully.

He was secretly considering whether he could give Might Guy a "little cheat code," such as granting him "Six Paths of Yang Power."

It was an unparalleled life energy; Naruto had once witnessed it when Might Guy opened the Gate of Death, and his life force was about to be exhausted.

With just a little of this energy, he was saved, and the price that would have been his life was reduced to the loss of only a leg.

If Might Guy himself possessed the power of the Six Paths of Yang, could he use the "Eight Gates" without restriction?

This is a good idea; it's worth trying when conditions allow in the future.

If successful, it would mean obtaining a constant Six Paths level of strength, a power that even Six Paths Madara would find difficult to match.

"Go, go."

Yuuki called out to Ino, and the two set off again.

Before long, they arrived at the Ninja Academy, where Naruto Uzumaki was already waiting at the school gate, with Hinata Hyuga standing shyly beside him.

"Yuzuki!" Naruto shouted excitedly, waving his hand.

"Youyue-kun..."

Yuyue smiled and said softly, "Let's go in."

The four-person team slowly stepped into the academy gate.

Given Yuuki's current strength, the Ninja Academy's courses have long lost their appeal.

His gaze wandered, curiously surveying the surrounding classrooms.

With graduation approaching, the twelve Konoha 11 are about to be assigned to different classes, marking a crucial turning point in the Naruto story.
