Analyzing the Ninja World Starting from Konoha

As Qingye finished speaking, more than a dozen figures silently appeared on the rooftops, in the corners of the walls, and even in the shadows on the ground.

They all wore identical animal masks and standardized ninja outfits, and their positioning was extremely clever, completely blocking all of Aoba's escape routes from the rooftop to the ground.

"You're from the Root, aren't you?"

Aoba used a question, but his tone was extremely certain.

"Yamashiro Aoba!"

A person wearing a cat-face mask, who appeared to be the leader, spoke up and called out his name directly.

"Your talent shouldn't be wasted on this boring game of make-believe."

"Lord Danzo has always been watching you. Join Root; this is the stage for you to showcase your talents. You will become the strongest root supporting the great tree of Konoha."

Upon hearing this, Qingye curled her lips. This brainwashing rhetoric could only fool those hot-blooded idiots.

"Sorry, I don't like being someone's dog, especially not someone like Shimura Danzo."

"How dare you!"

Aoba's use of Danzo's name instantly enraged the Root ninjas.

Aoba didn't care at all. He glanced around and said to himself, "Seventeen. They actually sent out a whole squad. That old bastard Danzo really thinks highly of me."

The people of the Root were not fools. Seeing Aoba's unyielding attitude, they knew that taking him away peacefully was no longer an option.

Without further ado, the captain decisively issued the order.

"Let's do it!"

The next second, a Root ninja formed hand seals, and an invisible mental shock pierced Aoba's mind.

The Mountain Clan's Mind-Turning Technique!

At the same time, a large number of black parasitic insects surged from another ninja's body, transforming into a wave of insects that swept towards Aoba.

The secret technique of the Aburame clan: Insect Jewel!

However, both the mental shock and the swarm of insects passed straight through the green leaf the moment they came into contact with it.

With a bang, "Qingye" turned into a handful of yellow sand and scattered.

"It's a sand clone!"

The troop leader was shocked. "When did this happen?!"

Despite his keen senses, he was completely unaware of when the other party had completed the replacement.

Before he could react, the ground beneath his feet suddenly trembled.

A massive sandstorm erupted from the ground, transforming into a colossal wave that instantly engulfed several Root ninjas who had no time to react.

"Ugh!"

A scream of agony came from the sandstorm, and the Root squad leader roared, "Yamashiro Aoba! How dare you kill a ninja from your own village!"

"Tsk."

A scornful laugh came from the air.

"You've already made your move, are you expecting me to just wash my neck and wait to die?"

The Root Corps Captain looked up abruptly and saw Aoba standing on a floating sand mat, looking down at them from above.

Aoba scoffed, "Besides, how many despicable things did your Root clan do under Danzo's leadership? How many of your fellow village 'comrades' did you kill? And now you still have the nerve to mention fellow village ninjas to me?"

It can fly?!

The commander's pupils suddenly contracted.

They had no such intelligence and had not made any corresponding contingency plans!

"Fire Release: Great Dragon Fire Technique!"

"Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet Technique!"

"Wind Release..."

Several Root ninjas reacted quickly, forming hand seals and releasing ninjutsu, while simultaneously launching a large number of explosive kunai from below towards Aoba in the air.

However, the ground of the entire village had already been covered with a thick layer of sand by green leaves without anyone noticing.

The sand surged and transformed into a giant shield, easily blocking all attacks.

Seeing this, the troop commander knew that the mission had completely failed.

Let alone capturing them alive, even killing them on the spot has become a luxury.

Facing an opponent who can fly and control wide-range ninjutsu, completing the mission is no longer possible.

The severe lack of intelligence is fatal!

He must immediately relay the information that Yamashiro Aoba can fly!

As for the others...

Their sacrifices were worthwhile for the sake of the root and for Lord Danzo's great cause.

While Aoba was busy dealing with the attacks from the Root ninjas, the chip's real-time analysis captured the captain's subtle movements.

Want to run?

Aoba formed a hand seal and then suddenly clasped his hands together.

"Quicksand waterfall!"

In an instant, the ground of the entire village shook violently, and endless yellow sand turned into towering waves that swept in all directions!

This is the same wide-range attack ninjutsu that Gaara used to deal with Kimimaro, and it's perfect for clearing out the mobs.

boom!

Huge sandstorms destroyed houses. Faced with such a catastrophic attack, no matter what secret techniques or teamwork you have, if you can't fly, they all seem pale and powerless.

All the Root ninjas were swept up in it, completely engulfing all remaining resistance.

As far as the eye can see, the entire village is buried in sand.

Aoba formed hand seals again.

"A grand funeral amidst the sand!"

The surging sea of ​​sand suddenly pressed down!

The world fell silent instantly.

Aoba slowly descended, took out a blank scroll, and collected all the excess sand on the ground.

He's not as wasteful as Gaara, who always has to draw chakra from the ground, which is such a waste.

As the sand was removed, only dozens of mangled, unrecognizable corpses remained, some from the Root clan, others from the wandering ninjas.

Qingye controlled the sand mat and turned to fly back the way she came.

Ten minutes later.

A hand suddenly burst out of the ground.

The Root captain crawled out covered in dust and dirt. Although he looked disheveled, he was not actually injured. As the captain of the Root squad, he was deeply trusted by Danzo and was taught many ninjutsu and secret techniques. With the help of the secret techniques, he successfully dodged Aoba's sand.

He glanced at the corpses scattered on the ground, his face showing no trace of grief for his comrades; now, only one thought occupied his mind.

Send the intelligence back!

He bit his finger, quickly formed hand seals, and summoned a ninja hawk.

Just as he tied the scroll of intelligence he had written to the ninja hawk's leg, preparing to release it, an extreme sense of crisis made the hair on his body stand on end!

Without a second thought, he instantly retreated.

puff!

A sharp sand spike emerged from the ground and pierced the ninja eagle precisely.

Without even glancing at the scene, the troop leader turned and sped off towards the edge of the village, pushing his speed to the limit.

However, just as he ran out of the village, his entire body suddenly stopped.

His eyes were wide open, as if he had seen the most incredible thing in the world.

The next second, he took out a kunai from his ninja tool bag and, without hesitation, plunged it into his own neck!

As his body collapsed and his consciousness faded, the Root Division Commander vaguely saw a faint, ethereal figure peel away from him.

"Spiritualization..."

His lips moved slightly, but he couldn't finish his sentence before he completely lost his life.

Aoba slowly descended from the sky, stepping on the sand mat, and looked at the Root Corps Captain who was already dead.
