It was just a hair's breadth away from hurting him.

Before the Root Division Commander could react, the shadow clone had already grabbed his wrist and gently pulled him.

The troop commander lost his balance in the air and fell directly to the ground.

"how is this possible?"

The first thought in the head of the unit was disbelief, because he had been knocked to the ground by a teenager in one move.

Originally, the Root Division Commander wanted to struggle to his feet and continue assassinating Tian Yu.

Unfortunately, the shadow clone didn't give him that chance at all, and directly stomped the kunai in his hand to the ground.

Then the shadow clone's eyes were filled with a smile. For some reason, the Root Division Captain felt a chill run down his spine when he saw that smile!

Chapter 490 The H-field of Konoha Village

"Haha, young man, isn't there some misunderstanding between us?"

The Root captain also realized the power of the shadow clones. This Root is no pushover, is it?

There are no more than a hundred people in the entire Hidden Leaf Village who could defeat him in an instant.

Moreover, these are either heroes who have made a name for themselves on the battlefield, or elite Jonin from the village.

Which of these people isn't someone with immense talent and influence? How could a young person possibly achieve such success?

"Hehe, misunderstanding? I was going to ask you if there's some kind of misunderstanding."

“I am a kind person, not a murderous addict, so I will send you on your way.”

At this point, the shadow clone's face was filled with pride.

They believe they have created a place that Westerners dream of visiting.

I managed to send so many people back so effortlessly; I must be a living bodhisattva!

Thinking of this, the shadow clone burst into laughter.

At this moment, the faces of the members of the Root Group turned extremely ugly.

They initially thought the kid meant it when he said he wouldn't kill anyone, but when they heard he was going to send them on their way...

How could they not understand what Tianyu meant?

Since that's the case, they have no choice but to stand up and fight back.

If they actually have a chance to escape, they'll be considered lucky.

"Kid, let me tell you, we're not pushovers either. If it really comes down to a fight to the death, you might not be a match for us!"

While threatening the shadow clone, the Root Division Captain tried to get up from the ground.

But the next moment, the troop commander's eyes widened, and he quickly covered his neck, staring at the shadow powder needle in shock.

After a long time, blood began to seep from the hands of the corps commander.

At this moment, the Root Division Captain had already stopped breathing, leaving only the Root Division Captain looking at the shadow clone in front of him with a face full of unwillingness.

I don't even have 10,000 full days of vacation.

Who could have imagined that such an ordinary assassination mission would involve such a powerful figure?

"Run! If we don't run now, we'll miss our chance!"

At this moment, it was unknown which member of the root force finally realized that their leader had silently and without anyone noticing.

If they don't escape now, they really won't have another chance!

Then, all the Root members, with perfect coordination, rushed out in different directions.

Only one shadow clone remained in the same spot.

At this moment, the shadow clone also took out the kunai of the Root Squad Leader and glanced at the blood on it.

"What a hassle. It's just a difference between dying sooner or later, what's the point of running away now?"

The shadow clone smiled helplessly, then disappeared from the spot.

Ten minutes later, the shadow clone reappeared in the same spot, but this time it was covered in blood.

Meanwhile, in the jungle outside Konoha Village, forces of various shapes and sizes appeared from all directions.

At this moment, a villager from Konoha Village was taking his young son to pick mushrooms in the village forest.

They hadn't eaten properly for several days.

Today, having no other choice, I had to risk coming out to see if there was anything good to eat.

"Dad, I'm so hungry, can you give me something to eat?"

The little child walked beside his father, clutching his stomach, looking aggrieved.

But the villagers' faces turned very pale. Who isn't hungry?

Because of Hiruzen Sarutobi's policies, the villagers at the bottom of society now have no assets whatsoever.

Even eating a meal is a problem.

If it weren't for his strength and ability to do more work, her son might not have survived to this day!

"Nuan Nuan, just hang in there a little longer, and Daddy will go find you something delicious to eat!"

The villager comforted his son and then pulled aside a clump of grass.

I'd like to see if there are any delicious mushrooms or fruits among them.

But when he opened the bushes, a strong smell of blood hit him, followed by a shocking scene that appeared before the villagers.

"What's wrong with Dad?"

Nuannuan noticed that the villagers hadn't reacted for so long and thought something had happened.

So I wanted to join in and take a look.

"No, Nuannuan, you can't. This is not a place for you to see. Stand still, and Dad will lead the way for you."

The villagers quickly retreated from the bushes.

Although the scene was too bloody, I had lived in the ninja village for so many years and had even seen many great battles.

So he can still accept this level of situation.

Even so, the villagers' faces turned deathly pale, as if they had applied a layer of foundation.

"Seriously, what era are we living in? There are still people who dare to cause trouble in the village."

The villagers couldn't help but shake their heads. When the first and second generations were in charge, which country didn't treat them with the utmost respect?

Even when there are any major events in Konoha Village, his other four younger brothers would come to give him gifts.

At that time, the villagers were very wealthy because of the policies; even someone like him could earn money.

Who knew that things would take such a dramatic turn when it came to Hiruzen Sarutobi?

Even if his standard of living has declined, if we say the village is thriving, then even if his life is not going well, that's acceptable.

However, trouble is frequently occurring in Konoha Village, and there is no one managing it.

The current state of Konoha Village is horribly chaotic; it has become the weakest of the weak and has to swallow its pride.

Moreover, judging from the clothing on the corpse, it was clearly clothing from the village's roots.

They've even dared to assassinate people like this; they're really getting bolder and more reckless.

Amidst the ensuing suspicions, villagers led the way, and they encountered corpses like this everywhere they went.

This left the villagers with a feeling of helplessness.

When did the village fall to such a state?

Being assassinated once is a feat, but after so many, it escalates into a problem between villages.

The fact that Konoha is remaining silent shows what the village's attitude is.

"Nuan Nuan, let's not eat today. Let's go home first, or it will be dangerous."

As the villager spoke, he picked up his son and prepared to go home.

Nuannuan noticed the strange looks on the villagers' faces, but she didn't say anything and obediently lay on her father's body.

Thus, because of the villagers' concerns, and having found no food, they had no choice but to return to the village in a sorry state.

Chapter 491 A Visit

Meanwhile, in the Hokage's office, Danzo was getting restless.

He had already ordered the squad leader of the root unit to carry out the mission a long time ago.

Because they couldn't figure out the identity of their mission target, they had no choice but to choose a root organization with a confusing identity.

This root is also because it carried out a mission and did some things that it shouldn't have done.

That's why Danzo agreed to let him go outside the village to rest for a while.

In fact, Danzo's actions had completely removed the Root leader from the Root's command center.

If there's anything important again, this squad leader won't be used anymore.

The original plan was to let this squad leader pull off one last big heist.

Who knew that after so much time had passed, the squad leader from the root division still hadn't come to submit the mission.

"What exactly happened? This mission was difficult, but it shouldn't have taken this long, right?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi was getting a little anxious and looked angrily at Danzo standing to the side.

"I...you're asking me how I would know these things? I wasn't on a mission either."

Danzo originally wanted to refute it, but after thinking about it for a while, he realized that Hiruzen Sarutobi's conclusion was correct.

After all, they haven't returned for so long. For a secret organization, such inaction is tantamount to suicide.

"Sigh, let's wait a bit. If anything goes wrong with this mission, I'll hold you responsible!"
