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

Chapter 89 Roots, Self-Immolation

In the dimly lit, secret room, a man named Shimura Danzo, leaning on his canes, stared at the flying bamboo dragonfly with a chilling glint in his left eye, which was not wrapped in bandages, and asked coldly:

Who is Sosuke's real identity?

As if being stared at by an incredibly terrifying beast, the newly awakened bamboo dragonfly trembled.

Upon recognizing the newcomers, he sensed something was amiss and took a deep breath, barely managing to calm his turbulent emotions. He said, "I don't know what you're talking about! I want to see the Hokage! Even if interrogation is necessary, it should be done by the interrogation squad."

"Root has the right to arrest and interrogate any ninja who poses a threat to Konoha." These words were spoken by a masked Root ninja hiding beside Shizun Danzo.

He walked up to the flying bamboo dragonfly and said in a flat tone, "We've been observing you for some time now. For the past twenty years, you've never had any contact with Sosuke. But now, you've been going to Konoha Hospital several times without reason, secretly observing Sosuke, and just an hour ago you even met him at the memorial monument."

"What is your purpose? Who exactly is Sosuke?"

This is Konoha after all, and with the abilities of Root, we can fully understand what is happening in the village every day.

Their primary investigation target was Sosuke, who had recently risen to prominence in the medical field.

To outsiders, this was a display of Cangjie's accumulated knowledge and skills finally coming to fruition.

But for the roots that walk in the darkness, nothing is off-limits for evaluation from an extreme perspective.

At first, the root department simply followed the usual routine and investigated Sousuke.

If there are no problems, then so be it.

If there is a problem but it's not too serious, this can be used as leverage to get the other party to secretly join Root and contribute their efforts to the prosperity of Konoha.

However, during the process, they unexpectedly discovered that there was another person secretly observing Sōsuke, namely, Tobitake Dragonfly.

Two people who had never crossed paths suddenly became entangled.

What this means, the experienced roots know very well.

Because of the fact that the Bamboo Dragonfly is in a confidential position in Konoha, the Root organization took the lead in launching an investigation into the Bamboo Dragonfly.

That's how everything that happened before came about.

As a member of Konoha's intelligence team, Tobi-dono was well aware of Root's style and methods and had no more illusions.

"I don't know this so-called Aoi Suke."

While outwardly saying this, Flying Bamboo Dragonfly secretly activated the unique mark belonging to the Feathered Robe Clan within her body, and at the same time, she thought to herself:

"I'm sorry, Chieftain. I've dragged you into this."

"And... I'm sorry, son."

"Wind, read his brain."

At this point, Danzo Shimura gave the order directly.

When Shimura Danzo noticed the seemingly panicked and fearful eyes of the bamboo dragonfly, which were actually incredibly determined, he knew that Root had caught a big fish this time.

Ordinary torture is useless against this person, so let's go all the way and forcibly extract the information from his brain.

Shizun Danzo leaned on his cane with one hand and gently tapped the armrest with the other.

He was really looking forward to seeing what kind of mouse he would catch this time.

Spies from the other four major ninja villages?

Or perhaps it's Orochimaru's covert operation?

snort!

"No matter who it is, no one is allowed to set foot in Konoha without my permission!"

With these thoughts in mind, Shisou Danzo looked over coldly.

Upon hearing his command, Yamanaka Kaze, who was standing next to Flying Bamboo Dragonfly, removed his mask, placed one hand on Flying Bamboo Dragonfly, and prepared to use the Yamanaka clan's secret technique to extract information from Flying Bamboo Dragonfly's brain.

Just then, the bamboo dragonfly suddenly raised its head, its gaze piercing through the thick wall, seemingly extending all the way to its distant home.

A smile appeared on his lips.

then.

Boom~~

The flying bamboo dragonfly activates the unique hammer and sickle mark of the Feathered Robe Clan.

moment!

A blazing red flame, fueled by chakra, erupted from his entire body.

Chieftain, let's go!

Finally, with this cry uttered in his heart, the flying bamboo dragonfly's vision was completely engulfed by the flames.

Before outsiders could intervene, the man named Flying Bamboo Dragonfly vanished from the world without leaving a trace, not even a scrap of clothing behind.

"snort!"

Danzo tapped his cane heavily, then snorted coldly.

"Chakra self-immolation, a method similar to the suicide tactics of the Anbu. Definitely a big fish!"

"Arrest Sosuke immediately!"

"Furthermore, all those closely associated with the flying bamboo dragonfly should be captured and brought to the root."

"yes!"

Including Yamanaka Fune, all the Root ninjas present knelt on the ground to receive orders, and then in a flash, they immediately took action.

Inside the secret chamber, only Danzo Shimura remained, eagerly anticipating what he would gain this time.

However, not long after.

Boom!

A loud rumbling sound came from the ceiling.

Danzo Shimura frowned:

"What happened?"

The unique scythe and hammer mark of the Feathered Robe Clan was originally created by Feathered Robe Xuan Yue specifically for the clan's intelligence personnel. It was a last resort for these people, who were on the verge of life and death, to avoid torture and information leaks.

In addition, the marks also serve as a warning.

Once the mark is fully activated, anyone within a five-kilometer radius who also has the mark will receive a notification that the mark has been activated.

This ability is designed to prevent the entire intelligence network from being uprooted due to the exposure of a single individual.

Later, during the great division of the Feathered Robe Clan, in order to ensure that people in all regions always remembered their identity as members of the Feathered Robe Clan, the clan elders specially applied this marking technique to the entire clan to help them recognize each other's identities, and it has been passed down from generation to generation to this day.

Like Samui, the bamboo dragonfly also has feather markings on its body.

At that very moment, when the mark was fully activated, and when the person named Flying Bamboo Dragonfly died, in Konoha Village, Yu Yi Xuan Yue, as the developer of the mark, who was also able to receive the information, paused and turned to look at the very remote forest to the west.

That area is not where the residents of Konoha live.

The separation time is still short. Even if Feizhu Qingting wanted to commit suicide immediately, she wouldn't do so in a way that is clearly that of an intelligence agent, for the sake of her son's future.

Therefore, there is only one possibility.

Something went wrong with the flying bamboo dragonfly, forcing them to activate the mark to protect the secret in their minds.

One more thing, remind yourself to leave as soon as possible.

For over twenty years, the flying bamboo dragonfly had remained hidden, but now that a problem has arisen, it's clear there's a reason for it.

"Leave? Heh."

Yu Yi Xuan Yue shook her head.

In a short period of time, the flying bamboo dragonfly was forced to commit suicide.

Such a ruthless and reckless approach is unique in the entire Hidden Leaf Village.

"At least he called me 'Clan Chief.' Although he's an 'unfilial son,' he still held firm to his principles."

"If you don't care about the deaths of your clansmen right under your nose and only care about yourself, what kind of clan leader are you?"

Yu Yi Xuan Yue looked in the direction of the flying bamboo dragonfly's life message, then moved and disappeared instantly.

"Have a safe journey."

"The clan leader will solve all your problems."
