Revitalizing the Uchiha clan starts with becoming a Kage.

In a shadowy corner.

"boom!"

As a dazzling light burst forth, a violent roar followed, and the ground shattered.

The billowing dust and smoke that were stirred up.

In the bombarded area.

'whoosh'

"whoosh"

"Whoosh!"

It happened in the second before the explosion.

Several tall, slender figures darted out.

As they stood on either side, the Iwa ninja, including Ogata, narrowed their eyes upon seeing the attire and accessories of these people, especially the clear headbands on their foreheads.

"Konoha's Anbu!?"

Tail-shaped also blurted out with a look of shock and rage.

Does Konoha really have the guts to attack them?!

As this group of people appeared, the figures that slowly emerged from the surrounding area, roughly estimated, already numbered over a hundred and were gradually increasing, approaching two hundred. Moreover, each of these figures exuded an extremely chilling aura.

All of them are at least Chunin, and Jonin make up at least one-third of the elite force!

This caused the Iwa ninja, including Ogata, to tense up completely. Only Shoji remained calm as he glanced at the figures around him.

There was not a trace of tension or worry on his face.

It's the same old story.

In the current ninja world, there are not many people who can make Shoji feel troubled. In the huge Hidden Leaf Village, there is only Jiraiya. Unless it is Jiraiya and Tsunade blocking his way, Shoji really needs to consider his escape route in advance.

But what if there are only two hundred so-called Konoha elites, even if there are as many as fifty or sixty Jonin?

He is not an ordinary Kage-level person, but someone who is only a hair's breadth away from becoming a Super Kage!

"Anbu? No, these people are Shimura Danzo's subordinates. The Third Hokage didn't have such courage, or perhaps the Third Hokage was at least somewhat intelligent. Only our arrogant Elder Shimura Danzo would make such a foolish decision!"

Shoji gave a mocking smile, his words revealing nothing but contempt for Shimura Danzo.

The people from the Root organization opposite them showed no emotion whatsoever; the eyes peeking out from the holes beneath their masks were colder than the last.

The one standing at the very front was clearly a member of the leader's faction.

"Huh? The root?"

Just as Oogata finished speaking with a slightly surprised tone.

"Uchiha Shoji! We are acting on Lord Danzo's orders. Please come with us! We hope you will not resist!"

At this moment, the leader of the root tribe also spoke coldly in a hoarse tone.

It really is the root!

Ogata, along with the Iwa ninja like Konoha, were not unfamiliar with this Root leader of Konoha, but they really didn't expect him to be so bold. Without needing to say it outright, they all knew very well that the decision to intercept and kill their group members was absolutely made by Shimura Danzo himself, and that it was done without the Third Hokage's knowledge.

At least that's what Tail Shape thinks.

Based on previous contacts and intelligence, the Third Hokage is a moderate in his dealings with the outside world and it is highly unlikely that he would do something so unscrupulous. Only Shimura Danzo has a matching personality, and his target is clearly the leader of his own delegation.

Ogata clearly knew that the severed arm of Shimura Danzo was the work of Shoji.

"Danzo's orders? How laughable! Let me see what kind of strength and qualifications you have!"

A disdainful sneer played on Jiang Si's lips as he looked at the leader, who was almost shrouded in darkness, and said in a cold voice.

In the end, they're just a bunch of 'grunts'!

The general was too lazy to waste any more words.

Almost as soon as he uttered that harsh remark.

"Ogata-san, form a defensive formation!"

After loudly instructing the people in the rear positions, including Ogata, he gave them instructions.

"Buzz!"

The crimson color reflected in Shoji's pupils was the awakened three-tomoe Sharingan.

"Sizzle sizzle sizzle sizzle!"

The burst of lightning-attribute chakra.

A unique 'armor' covering everything!

"boom!"

In the blink of an eye.

"Shh!"

"!?"

In the front position.

This sensed wave of terror.

Above the peak.

The leader of the root group suddenly narrowed his eyes.

"Let's do it!"

The aura was clearly terrifying, but these people from the Root Sect acted like machines, with not a single one showing fear or wanting to retreat.

Deep in his mind, he kept in mind the orders of his master, Danzo.

Under the command of this leader, figures darted out, their faces still expressionless beneath the cold, textured masks.

"whoosh"

"whoosh"

"call out"

"call out!"

In an instant, the group of roots attacked.

"Humph!"

A chilling intent flickered in Jiang Si's crimson pupils.

"Shh!"

The katana was swung around, unleashing a dazzling display of lightning.

"Pfft!"

As it sinks.

Patches of light and shadow flashed out.

"Wow!?"

"Well!?"

The key point is identified.

The cold, sharp blade flashed with a blinding white light.

With such a short distance and such a tight pace, none of the dozen or so figures charging at the forefront, especially those with slightly weaker strength, could withstand Jiang Si's onslaught and the cold front that had penetrated into their ranks.

During the interlude.

"thump!"

"thump!"

Several people died on the spot.

Only the few stronger members of the Root Sect on either side could react in some way, but they didn't have time to dodge.

They could only barely withstand this blow.

340. Can't wait

"Peng!"

But it was clear that it only offered a slight resistance.

These seemingly most elite members of the Root were as fragile as paper in front of Jiang Si. None of the Root members charging at the forefront were a match for Jiang Si. The splattered blood and the corpses falling one after another in the pool of blood all proved Jiang Si's strength.

Several people tried to use ninjutsu, but before they could even complete the hand seals, they were ruthlessly killed by Jiang Si. This blatant display of the vast difference in strength made the eyes of the Root leader grow even colder.

Even so.

These people, however, showed no sign of backing down.

They are still the forceful figures who come one after another.

The bloodlust on Jiang Si's face intensified to an extreme degree at this moment.

"Lei Dun!"

"Water escape!"

"Tudun!"

"A secret technique!"

The system of training talented individuals scoured from the entire village was established by Root at its inception with the tacit approval of the Third Hokage. Generally speaking, apart from those with truly special identities and those whom Hiruzen Sarutobi values ​​and forbids Danzo from interfering with, no one can disobey Danzo's summons.

Therefore, in Root, you can see all sorts of geniuses from various ninja clans in the village. Even members of the Hyuga clan, from branch families, were forcibly recruited to Root by Danzo. With the tacit approval of the Third Hokage, the two successive heads of the Hyuga clan (Hiashi and his father) dared not say a word.

In the vast Hidden Leaf Village, perhaps only the former Uchiha clan has never had a member join Root.

Of course, this stemmed more from Danzo's distrust of the Uchiha clan, including the previous Uchiha Shisui. Apart from that, Root was truly full of talented people, with all members being elites.
