Ninja World: I've already fought the Five Kage head-on, and the system is only now showing up.

Chapter 33 Roots

The full moon hangs high in the sky.

The pale moonlight shone down, adding a touch of brightness to the deep night.

Arriving outside Tansaku Street, Yu Yi Xuan Yue, standing in the darkness, glanced back and saw several dark figures blending into the night silently approaching him.

"Konoha Anbu. No, these people's masks have more varied and eerie colors; they look more like Root members."

Hagoromo Gengetsu certainly had vivid memories of the Root organization and Danzo, the infamous scapegoat of Konoha.

"I've been discovered. Is it because of the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki?"

Yu Yi Xuan Yue did not believe that the Root could guess her whereabouts.

Otherwise, if they were to truly set a trap for themselves, it wouldn't just be these people right now.

More likely, it's because of Naruto, who is a very important Nine-Tails Jinchuriki.

It seems that these Root ninjas were ordered to monitor the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki's every move. They had just been observing the behavior outside the izakaya when they were coincidentally discovered by these spies who were also stationed on the periphery.

"I don't know if this is your good fortune or your misfortune."

Yu Yi Xuan Yue stopped in her tracks, allowing the Root ninjas to surround her.

One, two, three, four

There were a total of eight Root ninjas.

In terms of setup, there are two small teams that take turns monitoring the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki.

at this time.

Compared to the bustling atmosphere inside Tanabata Street, the area just a wall away is completely silent.

Even if there are eight more people now.

The Root ninjas remained silent throughout. Only the leader, after recognizing Hagoromo Gengetsu's appearance and quickly identifying the target, did not hesitate and made a few tactical movements. The two Root squads moved in an orderly and instantaneous manner.

Clang~ Clang~ Clang~

The sound of a ninja sword being drawn shattered the silence.

Eight Root ninjas, in battle formation, coldly and mercilessly charged towards Hagoromo Gengetsu amidst the whooshing sounds of air being torn apart.

Of course, the first thing to arrive was an overwhelming barrage of kunai shuriken.

"boring."

Yu Yi Xuan Yue said calmly, then reached out and swept his hand in front of him, easily catching a kunai that was rushing towards him.

Ding ding ding ding

The sound of metal clashing rang out rapidly.

Yu Yi Xuan Yue's kunai transformed into an impenetrable net, slicing down all the kunai and shuriken that came from all directions.

Until a sharp sonic boom rang out.

Using the Body Flicker Technique, a Root ninja wielding a long ninja sword fiercely slashed at Hagoromo Gengetsu's neck.

Yu Yi Xuan Yue calmly stepped back, the ninja sword just narrowly missing him.

Before the Root ninjas could do anything else.

Yu Yi Xuan Yue's kunai, imbued with wind-attribute chakra, shot out.

Through years of rigorous training, the Root ninja, whose movements had become conditioned reflexes, tilted his head and narrowly avoided the kunai.

However, when Yu Yi Xuan Yue closed in, he was a beat too slow.

Click.

The wrist shattered instantly, causing the Root ninja to groan.

Yu Yi Xuan Yue forcibly snatched his ninja sword, kicked him away, then turned around, raised his arm, and swung the sword.

Everything happened too fast.

To the others, their companion was kicked away by Yu Yi Xuan Yue in the blink of an eye as he charged forward and swung his sword.

Before the other Root ninja, who was preparing to attack, could react, a cold silver light rushed towards them, flashing behind Yu Yi Xuan Yue.

"Well"

The person instinctively clutched their bleeding neck and collapsed to the ground, powerless.

"The first one."

Yu Yi Xuan Yue raised her blood-dripping ninja sword and calmly announced.

The remaining Root ninjas, their auras unchanged, attacked again without even glancing at their fallen comrades.

The sharp flashes of blades continued to echo.

Despite their inhumanly brutal training, Root ninjas are far more powerful than ordinary ninjas, but even when restricted, they are still far inferior to Hagoromo Gengetsu.

Soon, with a swift and clean flash of the blade, two more Root ninjas were cut down by Hagoromo Gengetsu.

Just as he raised his ninja sword, about to expertly pierce another Root ninja who had silently charged at him.

when.

The tip of the knife seemed to have hit something hard and could not go any further.

"Earth Release: Hardening Technique?"

Noticing the newcomer's brown, rock-like appearance, Yu Yi Xuan Yue sheathed her ninja sword, took a step back, and then...

Tear!

The dazzling lightning flashed into the eyes of the Hardening Technique ninja.

Just as the latter's pupils suddenly contracted, Yu Yi Xuan Yue's blade, enveloped in blue lightning, thrust forward once more.

Like cutting tofu with a knife.

This time, the blade pierced through the hardening technique without any hindrance, instantly piercing through the person in front of it.

Scalding hot blood gushed from the mouth of the Root ninja in front of him, splattering inside his mask.

Clearly feeling his life slipping away, he did not wail or beg for mercy. Instead, he remained eerily silent, advancing instead of retreating, letting the blade rub against his body. Yet, his hands gripped tightly the hands of Yu Yi Xuan Yue, who held the ninja sword, preventing it from leaving.

At the same time, a Root ninja who noticed this scene stretched out his hands and quickly cultivated the self-destructing insects that were unafraid of lightning release. They flew out of his sleeves in a dense mass, turning into a huge black cloud that covered Hagoromo Gengetsu.

In the blink of an eye, seeing the army of insects descend, Yu Yi Xuan Yue, whose hands were temporarily bound, frowned slightly. With a flick of his eyes, a cold metallic luster covered his entire body.

It is the Bloodline Limit: Steel Release.

Boom boom boom~~~

The insect army from the Aburame clan decisively self-destructed.

Amidst a deafening roar, a small mushroom cloud slowly rose.

When everything had cleared up, the remaining Root ninjas, who had prepared sealing scrolls to seal away Hagoromo Gengetsu, were about to step forward.

Suddenly, they stopped in their tracks, their breathing unusually calm as they looked towards the site of the explosion.

Inside a huge crater, the Root ninja who had used the Hardening Technique had been blown to pieces and was never seen again.

As for the true epicenter of the explosion.

Yu Yi Xuan Yue, who was not missing any limbs, calmly walked out from inside.

Click~ Click~

As she moved, Yu Yi Xuan Yue glanced at the steel shield covering her entire body, which was shattering.

He fought the Four Kage so many times, and his Steel Release technique never shattered.

The secret technique of the Aburame clan has become like this after only taking one hit.

Yu Yi Xuan Yue couldn't help but shake her head.

The gap is too big.

Even if the strength he can unleash is limited, he can still take care of the remaining people.

Yu Yi Xuan Yue looked at the four remaining Root ninjas, tapped his toes, and a broken sword left over from the previous battle fell into his palm.

The next second, blinding lightning chakra enveloped the blade once more.

Yu Yi Xuan Yue looked at the remaining people and said calmly:

"Will you commit suicide, or will I do it myself?"

no respond.

Everything proceeded in silence.

Until the very end.

Yu Yi Xuan Yue glanced at the long, barely noticeable shadow at her feet.

As it faded further, I swung my sword and slashed it.

The last remaining Root ninja from the Nara clan was completely killed.

At this point, both root squads were completely wiped out.
