Analyzing the Ninja World Starting from Konoha

"Are you from the Root?"

Yuto, whose identity had been exposed, remained expressionless, staying quietly in place with his eyes fixed on Aoba.

"So you knew? I thought you didn't."

Aoba put the bowl aside and looked at Uchiha Itachi with a mocking expression.

At this moment, Qi had come to his senses and quickly distanced himself from Yuto, looking at him warily.

In the entire Hidden Leaf Village, if you were to ask who understands Root the most, it would definitely be the Uchiha.

Of course, they are also the most hated.

"He's like a rat that Danzo Shimura kept in the gutter, doing all sorts of shady things, like monitoring the ninjas in his own village, or... getting rid of certain disobedient people."

Upon hearing the name "Shimura Danzo," a crack finally appeared on Yuto's usually expressionless face.

It was a distortion resulting from the desecration of some kind of fanatical faith.

He slowly raised his head and stared intently at Qingye.

His hand silently slid towards the ninja sword behind his waist.

Aoba ignored him and continued:

"Look, this guy was sent by Danzo to keep an eye on me. Of course, since you're on the same team as me, he'll probably be keeping an eye on you too. After all, you're an Uchiha, and in that old man's eyes, Uchiha are no different from traitors."

"shut up!"

Yuto suddenly let out a low shout.

The sound was hoarse and grating, like two rusty pieces of iron rubbing against each other.

"How dare you address Lord Danzo by his given name... and even more so, spew such insults upon him..."

Clang.

A jet-black dagger appeared in Yuto's hand.

Chakra erupted beneath his feet, and he shot upwards like an arrow, climbing the rock face.

The killing intent locked onto Aoba's throat as if it were a tangible substance.

"Ha, you couldn't resist anymore."

Aoba's face showed a mocking expression.

I didn't expect it to be so simple.

As expected, to deal with Root members, just curse Danzo directly.

Although he was the one who provoked us first, we still had to go through the motions.

"How dare you! You actually lay a hand on your superiors!"

Aoba took a half step back, shouting righteous words, but he had already drawn a kunai and held it horizontally in front of his chest.

Dangdang Dangdang!

Metal and steel clashed.

Sparks flew everywhere.

While blocking and retreating, Aoba even had time to remind Qi, who was watching the show from the sidelines.

"Hey! Look closely! He struck first!"

Using the force of the impact, Aoba flew backward, flipped in the air, and landed steadily on the ground.

Uchiha Itachi was completely dumbfounded.

This series of unexpected events was completely beyond his comprehension.

One second they were discussing whether they could start a fire, and the next second their teammates were fighting for their lives.

Moreover, that guy named Yuto, his killing intent was genuine; he really wanted to kill someone!

And they were from the same village.

The captain is telling the truth!

"Now I'm going to fight back! Yuto's actions are a blatant attack on his superiors, an act of treason!"

"I have the right to remove him on the spot..."

Before Aoba could finish speaking, he was met with several shuriken that shot towards him at lightning speed.

boom!

The hit "Blue Leaf" exploded into white smoke, leaving a wooden stake behind.

"The Instantaneous Movement Technique!"

Aoba's voice came from the side, and he quickly formed hand seals.

brush!brush!brush!

Dozens of Aoba figures instantly appeared on the field, attacking Yuuto from all directions.

Yuto's expression changed. He swung his kunai, only to find that every attack he made hit empty air, while the clones' attacks turned into solid objects when they got close to his body.

He couldn't distinguish between reality and illusion at all.

Soon, he had several wounds on his body.

"Fire Release: Great Dragon Fire Technique!"

Yuto made a quick decision, creating distance and unleashing a raging fire dragon from his mouth, attempting to clear the area with a wide-range ninjutsu.

Flames swept across, engulfing all the clones.

However, just as he exhausted his ninjutsu and his breath slightly stopped,

A figure suddenly appeared in front of him.

It is the true form of Aoba.

"Illusion Art: Golden Binding!"

Yuto's body stiffened abruptly. He tried to move, but found that his limbs were bound by invisible chains, and even the flow of chakra became sluggish.

A cold, metallic touch pressed against his neck.

puff!

Aoba gripped the kunai in his hand and cleanly slit Yuto's throat.

Warm blood splattered on Qingye's face, but he didn't even blink.

Yuto stood stiffly in place, making a "hoarse" sound in his throat. His life force rapidly drained away with the gushing blood, and he finally collapsed helplessly to the side.

"Genin Yuto openly attacked his superiors, suspected of betraying the village. I have killed him on the spot."

Aoba shook off the bloodstains on the kunai.

The metal blade tip traced an arc in the air, and droplets of blood splattered onto the weathered rocks beside it due to inertia.

Uchiha Kei slumped to the ground, his hands gripping the rough surface tightly, his fingertips digging white marks into the gravel.

He stared blankly at Yuuto lying in a pool of blood.

The corpse's throat had been cut open, and blood was still flowing down the cracks in the rocks, soaking the dried soil.

Aoba turned around, half of his face splattered with blood, which, combined with his expressionless face, made him look particularly horrifying.

His gaze fell on Uchiha Itachi.

Uchiha Kei's pupils trembled violently, and his legs involuntarily kicked against the ground, moving back half a meter.

"What are you afraid of? Didn't you see him attack me first?"

Aoba took out a blank sealing scroll from his ninja tool bag and laid it flat next to the corpse.

Hands form a mudra.

"seal up."

With a soft thud, the white smoke dissipated.

The corpse on the ground disappeared, and a black "corpse" character appeared in the center of the scroll.

Aoba grabbed the scroll and threw it at Uchiha Itachi.

"Take this and head back to command now."

Qi subconsciously reached out to catch it, but seemed to feel the lingering warmth of the corpse on the scroll, which startled him so much that he dropped the scroll to the ground.

"Report everything that happened here truthfully, including the process of me killing the person and the details of how he struck first."

Qi frantically grabbed the reel again, as if he were holding a block of ice, his hands trembling slightly from the cold.

"I...I'm going back alone? What about you, Captain?"

"Tell them that the D13 outpost was attacked by rogue ninjas. Captain Yamashiro Aoba has eliminated the threat and is currently on guard."

Aoba stood up, brushed the dust off his trousers, and looked in the direction of the Land of Wind.

"Go ahead, the command center will handle this kind of thing."

Qi stood up, supporting himself on a nearby rock; his leg muscles were still trembling slightly.

He glanced down at the scroll in his arms, then at Aoba's overly calm face.

He nodded heavily, then turned and ran towards the command post.

His steps were unsteady, and he nearly fell several times on the loose gravel, but he did not stop and disappeared around the corner of the rocks in an instant.

Aoba withdrew her gaze, and the sand clinging to her body began to flow.
