In Konoha, you call this a ninja tool?

Everyone nodded in agreement.

"Very well, then..."

Tianyu was speaking when he suddenly saw a familiar face in the crowd.

As I walked up to that person, sure enough, it was Yamato.

If I'm not mistaken, Yamato was sent by Hiruzen Sarutobi to infiltrate Root.

In truth, Hiruzen Sarutobi and Danzo Shimura are birds of a feather.

The dark areas and the root areas are intertwined, each containing the other.

They really know how to send spies to each other.

"grown ups!"

Yamato bowed his head and paid homage to Amagi.

"Okay, let's go."

Tengo ignored Yamato and turned to leave the Hokage's office.

Then the twelve people followed Tianyu out of the office.

For Tenyu, it doesn't matter even if the spy is Yamato.

Although Yamato also possesses Hashirama Senju's cells, he can use Wood Release.

However, his Wood Release and Hashirama Senju's are truly incomparable.

His Wood Release technique is at best only good enough to build a house in Konoha.

Hashirama Senju's ability, on the other hand, is the power to instantly grow a forest in the desert.

It is obvious which one is stronger or weaker.

Yamato felt a little flustered at that moment.

After Hiruzen Sarutobi's death, he was forced to leave the Anbu.

After that, he was assigned to be a Jonin (high-ranking ninja) and went to the Ninja Academy.

However, this was undoubtedly a torment for Yamato, who had frequently appeared on the battlefield in the past.

Later, Konoha finally began selecting members for the Anbu.

He eventually became one of the 12.

But the glance that Lord Tianyu gave him before leaving the office made him feel a little panicked.

He didn't want to be eliminated.

It seems he'll have to work really hard in this mission.

at the same time.

The spies hidden in the shadows had an idea when they heard Tianyu's order.

Remove the roots.

This means that apart from these people, Tianyu was acting alone at this time.

That was the perfect opportunity to get rid of him.

Therefore, after leaving Konoha, the spy hidden among these twelve people secretly sent this information to his companions.

…………

An underground cave on the border of the Land of Fire.

This cave is one of Danzo's secret bases. Basically, whenever Danzo wanted to interfere in the affairs of other countries, he would come here to issue orders.

This area is also not recorded.

So when all the other root strongholds were cleared out, only this one was preserved.

And this is also where the remaining roots gather.

"Great! Our people in Konoha have sent word that Tenyu is leading a dozen men to eliminate us. Among them are members of the Anbu who are currently being selected. Apart from them, no one else in Konoha will be working with Tenyu. This is a perfect opportunity for us!"

One of the people at the root couldn't help but say this after receiving the news.

Since Danzo's death, they have fled Konoha and have been waiting for an opportunity to kill Tengo.

Nowadays, hard work pays off.

They had finally gotten this opportunity.

Now is the perfect time to avenge Danzo.

“Great! I’ll assemble the team right away. If Tenyu wants to wipe us out completely, then this time I’d like to see whether he kills us or we take his head to appease Lord Danzo.”

The other member couldn't help but grit his teeth when he heard the name Tianyu.

After all, if it weren't for Tenyu, they would still be in Konoha right now.

To become someone who is revered.

Where else could I be like this, unable to return home, forced to become a wandering ninja, drifting from place to place?

Perhaps one day he will die in an attack.

To become a pitiful person without even a name.

"Alright, let's just set him up and lure him into a trap. He wants to wipe us out, right? Then we'll spread the news about this stronghold, lure Tianyu here with a trap, and then wipe them all out. This way, Konoha will fall into chaos without Tianyu."

"And we can take this opportunity to unite with other major powers to attack Konoha. When Konoha is completely destroyed, we will be able to avenge Lord Danzo."

Another person from the root heard the news.

They even came up with the idea of ​​luring the enemy into a trap.

"Okay, let's do it that way!"

A man who looked like a squad leader immediately nodded in agreement upon hearing this.

"No!"

However, their joy was short-lived, as another person in the group voiced a contrary opinion.

"I think this incident is very likely a trap. Tianyu may have set up this false information to wipe us out in one fell swoop. What we need to do now is to remain still. Otherwise, if we really fall into their trap, we may be completely wiped out."

The captain of the other squad was somewhat shrewd.

After all, there's something wrong with this matter at first glance.

The task of eradicating the roots of the virus in Konoha has always been entrusted to Jiraiya.

Tianyu has never interfered in such matters.

However, this time, Tenyu directly led twelve people who had not yet become members of the Dark Division to wipe out the Root Division.

This whole thing has a strange quality to it.

It looks like a trap.

So it's best to be cautious.

Otherwise, if you really fall into their trap, it will be too late to regret it.

"What are you talking about? Are you just going to give up such a good opportunity? And saying this is a trap set by the other side, I think you're scared of Tianyu. I admit that guy is indeed very strong, and we would never be his match in a one-on-one fight, but this time we are all going together, and he also has our people on his side."

“By disintegrating them from within, we will definitely be able to kill Tenyu. If we miss this opportunity, we don’t know how long we will have to wait. Do you want to stay in this base forever? According to the search of those Konoha ninjas, they will find this area sooner or later, and then we will all be hunted down.”

“We would become fish on a chopping board, at their mercy.”

The captain became even more agitated after hearing the opposite statement.

Chapter 320 The Cicada Awaits

"That's not what I meant. I just feel that now that everyone has left Konoha and is wanted by the village, we should be extra careful, after all, we..."

"No, I'll take my team to prepare to kill Tianyu. If you don't want to go, you can leave. My team doesn't need cowards. If you're scared, leave now."

The other person doesn't want to listen to this man?

The decision was made directly.

"Sigh... I..."

The man wanted to say something more, but the people from the Roots around him had already stood beside the captain.

They all clearly thought he had backed down.

Seeing this, the man had no choice but to nod.

I plan to go along.

“Very good, let’s start setting the trap now. Perfect timing, we still have 100,000 explosive tags left from Konoha. Let’s put them here. Detonating all 100,000 explosive tags at once will be powerful enough to send him to the Pure Land. Combined with the array we’ve set up, it will be foolproof.”

The captain looked at their setup and was satisfied.

After all, with such a setup, even a Kage-level powerhouse would be unable to escape once caught in the trap.

They were full of confidence, believing that with this, they could definitely kill Tianyu.

So all they need to do now is wait here.

Waiting for the moment when the prey arrives at the trap.

Meanwhile, the man who had been somewhat worried quietly left the stronghold with a group of his supporters.

He firmly believed that this news was nothing more than a false message released by Tianyu in an attempt to wipe them out in one fell swoop.

So he chose to leave with his men.

Anyway, if they really kill Tianyu, he can just bring his men back. But if this is really a trap, then these people will be the last remaining members of the Root.

……

Meanwhile, at Tianyu...

"My lord, where are we going next? I am skilled in Wood Release, which can be used for defense. And please rest assured, my strength is also at the Jonin level, so I will definitely not hold you back."

Yamato walked up to Tenmuro and said.
