Chapter 33 Roots

The full moon hangs high in the sky.

The faint moonlight shines, adding a touch of light to the deep night.

Arriving outside Danshu Street, Hagoromo Xuanyue, who was standing in the darkness, looked back behind him. Several dark figures blending into the night were quietly approaching him.

“Konoha Anbu. No, the colors of these people’s masks are richer and weirder, and they look more like roots.”

Of course Hagoromo Genzuki still has fresh memories of the roots and the famous Konoha scapegoat Danzo.

“I was discovered. Because of the Nine-Tails Jinchuuriki?”

Hagororomo Xuanyue didn’t think Genbu could guess his whereabouts.

Otherwise, you will really set a trap for yourself, not just for these people.

The greater possibility is because of Naruto, a very important Nine-Tailed Jinchuuriki.

I think this group of root ninjas were ordered to monitor every move of the Nine-Tailed Jinchuuriki. I had just observed the behavior outside the izakaya, and by coincidence, I was discovered by this group of secret agents who were also distributed on the periphery.

“I don’t know whether you are lucky or unlucky.”

Hagororomo Xuanyue stopped and allowed himself to be surrounded by root ninjas.

one two three four

There are eight root ninjas in total.

In terms of configuration, there are two teams. Before this, they took turns monitoring the Nine-Tails Jinchuuriki.

at this time.

Compared with the bustle in Tuanchu Street, the street outside the wall is completely silent.

Even if there are eight more people at this moment.

The Genbu ninjas were silent from beginning to end. Only the leader, after recognizing Hagoromo Genzuki's appearance and quickly determining the target, made several tactical moves without hesitation. The two Genbu teams moved in an orderly manner.

锵~锵~锵~

The sound of a ninja sword being unsheathed broke the silence.

Eight root ninjas formed a battle formation, killing coldly and mercilessly towards Hagoromo Genzuki amidst the bursts of sound.

Of course, the first thing to arrive was the overwhelming kunai shuriken.

"boring."

Hagoromo Xuanyue said lightly, stretched out his hand in front of him, and a kunai that was speeding towards him was lightly held in his hand.

The sound of gold and iron clashing sounded rapidly.

The kunai in Hagoromo Genzuki's hand turned into a large airtight net, cutting down all the kunai shurikens shot from all directions.

Until a rapid sonic boom sounded.

Under the teleportation technique, a root ninja held a slender ninja sword and slashed fiercely at Hagoromo Genzuki's neck.

Hagoromo Xuanyue stepped back with a calm expression, and the blade of the ninja sword passed in front of him by just a hair.

What to do without waiting for the root ninja to continue.

The kunai in Hagoromo Genzuki's hand carries the wind attribute chakra and shoots out.

After years of hard training, the ninja who had already formed a conditioned reflex tilted his head and narrowly avoided the kunai.

But when Hagoromo Xuanyue approached, he was a beat slower.

click.

The wrist was shattered instantly, causing the root ninja to groan.

Hagoromo Genzuki forcibly took away his ninja sword, kicked him away, then twisted around, raised his arm, and swung the sword.

Everything happened too fast.

In the eyes of others, their companions only charged and waved their swords before being kicked away by Hagoromo Gengyue.

Haunted behind Hagoromo Xuanyue, another root ninja who was about to attack saw a cold silver light speeding towards him before he could react.

"Well"

The visitor subconsciously covered his bleeding neck and fell down weakly.

"First."

Hagoromo Genzuki raised his ninja sword dripping with blood and declared calmly.

The remaining ninja aura remained unchanged at all, and he attacked again without even looking at his dead teammates.

The sharp sword light resounded continuously. Under the inhuman and cruel training, although the root ninja is much more powerful than ordinary ninjas, compared to Hagoromo Genzuki, even in a restricted state, there is still a big gap.

Soon, under the sharp light of the sword, two more root ninjas were killed by Hagoromo Gengetsu.

Just when he raised his ninja sword, he was about to pierce another silent and rushing ninja.

when.

The tip of the knife seemed to have hit some hard object and was unable to penetrate further.

“Earth Release·Hardening Technique?”

Noticing that the surface of the visitor was like a brown rock, Hagoromo Genzuki retracted his ninja sword, took a step back, and then

Tear apart!

Dazzling lightning flashed into the eyes of the hardened ninja.

Just as the latter's pupils suddenly shrank, the blade wrapped in blue lightning in Hagoromo Xuanyue's hand stabbed again.

It’s like cutting into tofu with a knife.

This time, the tip of the knife pierced through the hardening technique without any hindrance, stabbing the person in front of him instantly.

Hot blood spurted out from the mouth of the ninja in front of him and sprinkled inside the mask.

He clearly felt the passage of life and did not cry out for mercy. He still maintained an infiltrating silence, not retreating but advancing, letting the blade rub inside his body, but his hands firmly clasped Hagoromo Xuanyue's hands holding the ninja sword. Let it go.

At the same time, an Aburame root ninja who noticed this scene actually stretched out his hands and took advantage of the time to quickly cultivate them. The self-destruction bugs that were not afraid of thunder flew out from his sleeves densely and turned into a huge black cloud. Heading towards Hagoromo Xuanyue's cover.

Just for a moment, Hagoromo Xuanyue, whose hands were temporarily restrained, frowned slightly when he saw the army of insects coming. As his eyes moved, a cold metallic color covered his whole body.

It is the limit of blood inheritance·Steel Escape.

Hum, boom, boom~~~

The insect army from the Aburame clan decisively exploded.

Amidst the violent roar, a small mushroom cloud slowly rose.

When everything clears up, the remaining ninjas who already have a sealing scroll ready to seal Hagoromo Genzuki are ready to take a step forward.

Suddenly, their steps stopped, and their breaths rarely fluctuated as they looked towards the place where the explosion occurred.

In a huge deep pit, the root ninja who used the hardening technique had been blown to pieces and was never seen again.

As for the true center of the explosion.

Hagoromo Xuanyue, who was not missing any arms or legs, walked out calmly.

Kacha~Kacha~

While walking around, Hagoromo Xuanyue glanced at the steel shield that covered his whole body and was shattering.

Even after fighting so many times with the Four Shadows, my Steel Escape was not broken.

Now after just one hit, the secret technique of the Aburame clan has become like this.

Hagoromo Xuanyue couldn't help but shook her head.

The gap is too big.

However, even if the strength used is limited, it is still possible to deal with the remaining people.

Hagororomo Xuanyue looked at the remaining four root ninjas, tiptoed, and a broken sword left over from the previous battle fell into his palm.

The next second, the dazzling Thunder Chakra enveloped the blade again.

Hagoromo Xuanyue looked at the remaining people and said calmly:

“Should you do it yourself, or should I do it myself?”

no respond.

Everything is done in silence.

till the end.

Hagoromo Xuanyue glanced at the long, imperceptible shadow at his feet.

As it becomes increasingly faint, he slashes with his sword.

The last remaining ninja, the root ninja from the Nara clan, was completely killed.

At this point, both root teams have been wiped out.
