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

Chapter 90 Slaughter (Seeking monthly votes and subscriptions)

Whoosh!Whoosh!Whoosh!

A dozen or so Root ninjas, clad in black robes and wearing masks, swiftly moved through the forest.

Konoha Village was originally located in a vast, dense forest.

Even after so many years of development, there are still many forests within the Konoha area.

To this end, Konoha not only designated dozens of training grounds, but also set up some highly confidential departments and agencies that could not be exposed to the sunlight within the forest.

For example, the famous root base.

The Root ninjas traversing the forest at this moment are on the orders of Lord Danzo to capture Sosuke and others closely associated with Tobitake Coppu, such as Tobitake Coppu's son, colleagues, teachers, and friends.

But before they could split into two teams to capture their targets, they were caught off guard.

But one person was the first to enter their field of vision.

"The person who came is Cang Jie. The probability of him resisting arrest is 90%. Execute the arrest plan immediately."

After recognizing the newcomers as their primary target, the Root ninja quickly made their assessment and, without further ado, immediately began to attack.

"Wind Release."

The Root ninja at the forefront were about to unleash their most skilled Wind Release ninjutsu.

suddenly!

A gust of wind swept in.

Before he could react, a hand grabbed his neck.

"Too slow."

The moment the Root ninja heard those words, his neck snapped with a "crack".

As his body fell from the sky and his eyes closed completely, the last thing this Root ninja saw was his killer easily slaughtering his well-trained teammates like a lion among sheep.

"He's definitely not Sosuke!"

Filled with deep doubt and worry, the Root ninja finally closed his eyes.

Not only him, but many of his teammates who were dying shared the same thoughts.

Before setting off, they had all read about Sosuke's personal information.

Despite having spent most of her time as a medical ninja who rarely went to the battlefield and worked at Konoha Hospital, her recent rise to fame is solely due to her expertise in medicine.

He didn't seem like the decisive and ruthless person in front of him at all.

At first, the Root ninjas were confident that they could easily take down their target.

But now, seeing that few of their teammates could make it to the second round from "Sousuke", and knowing that the newcomer's strength was beyond their imagination and far beyond what their team could handle, the remaining Root ninjas, though not afraid of death, did not waste any more effort and immediately turned and fled.

Hot blood splattered across the sky, with a few splashes landing vividly on a nearby sturdy tree.

He casually tossed aside the ninja sword in his hand, ignoring the Root member leaning against a large tree, clutching his bleeding neck, and slowly falling down. Yu Yi Xuan Yue watched the remaining rats turn their backs in panic, but instead of chasing after them to kill them immediately, she leisurely followed behind them.

The mountain wind was in the front of the line.

Having narrowly escaped death, he looked back and calmly analyzed the situation:

"The person who looks like Sosuke wants to use us as a guide. His real destination is the Root base."

A teammate beside him said coldly, "We must never give the enemy what they want."

"I understand," Yamanaka Fu nodded. "I tried to keep him here. Whatever the outcome, run in the other direction. Root's reinforcements will arrive soon."

After quickly devising a new plan, a Root ninja sacrificed himself by using ninjutsu to distract "Sosuke".

Taking advantage of this gap, Shan Zhongfeng quickly set up a trap, entrusted his body to his teammates for safekeeping, and the rest of them quietly changed direction and left the root base.

On the other side, after dealing with the Root ninjas who were disrupting the view, Hagoromo Gengetsu looked at the direction in which the remaining people had fled not far away, his eyes narrowing slightly.

"Did you know my plans and deliberately change direction?"

Although Ari copied a lot of information about Konoha from Yamanaka Inoichi, it did not include the location of the root base.

As the unfathomable darkness of Konoha, the Roots, which must never be exposed to the sunlight, cannot be inquired about too much, except by the true high-ranking members of Konoha, even by someone of Yamanaka Inoichi's status.

Of course, even if he had that ability, given Yamanaka Inoichi's cautious nature, he wouldn't explore matters related to the Root.

"It seems I'll have to find out myself."

Somewhat regretting killing too quickly earlier, Yu Yi Xuan Yue sped up, no longer intending to kite the remaining Root ninjas.

Boom!

As they passed a large tree, a hidden explosive tag trap suddenly detonated.

Amidst the thick smoke, Yu Yixuan emerged from within without slowing down, her expression unchanged, ready to continue her journey.

Whoosh!Whoosh!Whoosh!

Then, one after another, misery struck from all directions.

Not wanting to be disheveled for the time being, Yu Yi Xuan Yue easily stopped it, then casually tossed the kunai in her hand and, without even looking, pinned the last thing that had attacked from behind to a tree further back.

"We succeeded!"

The one nailed to the tree in the end was the cursed puppet that Yamanaka Fu had deliberately left behind.

At this moment, his soul, which was inside the puppet, became unusually excited.

"Mind Transfer Puppet Seal Technique!"

One of the secret techniques of the mountain clan.

The spell is activated by having a puppet attack the enemy. The spell is activated as soon as the puppet is attacked by the enemy.

The enemy's soul will be sealed within the puppet, while the caster's soul will enter the opponent's body.

Yamanaka Fu was about to control Yu Yi Xuan Yue's body, willing to sacrifice his own life to make her commit suicide, even if his own body would suffer the same fate.

But the next second, his expression suddenly froze.

"My own technique... failed?"

He discovered that his soul was still inside the puppet.

"Sousuke" calmly turned his head to look at him and said indifferently, "I have experienced the cycle of life and death, my soul has come from the underworld to the human world, and has undergone many trials. How could your technique possibly pull me out?"

If the opponent uses a kaleidoscope-level illusion to confuse you, your incomplete soul might fall for it.

But if Yu Yi Xuan Yue thinks she can just pull her soul out of her body in one go, she's really overthinking it.

"The cycle of life and death? From the underworld to the mortal realm? You are Yu Yi Xuan Yue?!"

Upon hearing "Sousuke's" words, Yamanaka Fu pondered briefly before his pupils suddenly contracted, and he exclaimed in utter shock.

If what he guessed was true, then the Root organization and Lord Danzo were in danger!

"You"

Shan Zhongfeng wanted to say something more, but he could no longer do so.

As the puppet crumbled, his soul also vanished.

If this incredibly powerful soul-swapping technique, which forcibly swaps the positions of two souls, fails, it will result in extremely severe backlash.

Without needing to do anything, facing the former's soul was like Shan Zhongfeng crashing headfirst into a mountain; he was now beyond dead.

Yu Yi Xuan Yue glanced at them and continued chasing after the remaining fish.
