"Get rid of this disgusting thing!"
Danzo issued the order eagerly.
The strange fluid seeping out of Naruto's shadow had killed three Root members in a short period of time.
The way of their deaths were extremely miserable.
Even Danzo, the well-informed leader of the Root, had never seen such an attack which enters the body first and then destroys its way out.
It seemed as if something strange that does not belong to this world had taken shape.
After killing three Root members, the silver fluid still seemed to have no intention of stopping. It wrapped around Naruto's body, stretched out its tentacles again, and rushed towards the surrounding Root members.
After hearing Danzo's order, they wanted to deal with the silver fluid, but they had no way of dealing with it.
The attacks they launched had no effect on the fluid.
The thrown shuriken and kunai were embedded in the fluid and could not cause any damage, and ordinary ninjutsu attacks would only cause the fluid to disperse slightly and then regroup.
"Ahhhh!!!"
In a short period of time, another Root member was killed.
Silver tentacles penetrated his chest, wrapped around his body, lifted him up, and threw him into the forest behind him.
Gan and Wen, who brought Naruto, were totally frightened by the scene in front of them.
They risked their lives to bring Naruto back from the Uchiha clan. They thought they would be rewarded by Danzo, and they were extremely happy.
Never in their greatest nightmares, did they expect that such a thing would happen.
At this moment, they were already enveloped in deep fear.
"Damn it! This thing is protecting the Jinchūriki!"
Although they couldn't understand the composition and way to deal with this thing at all, its behavioral logic was very easy to understand.
It was killing all enemies that were close to Naruto.
"Trash! A bunch of trash!!"
Danzo angrily hit the ground with his crutch, and his one eye burst looked around with deep-anger.
'The Root that I have carefully built cannot even solve this kind of thing!'
'This place is near the Uchiha clan.'
'Maybe Namikaze Mirai will soon find us, if we continue to delay, who knows what will happen.'
'The Jinchūriki must be taken back to the Root base as soon as possible!'
"You guys, hold back the silver monster, and the rest of you will leave with me and the Jinchūriki!"
Danzo shouted an order in a voice that could not be refused.
The few Root members he selected turned pale in an instant.
Fighting this weird thing was equivalent to gruesome death.
Until now, all their attacks have been ineffective.
On the contrary, this silver monster, like a creature from another world, split into different shapes and killed them easily.
"Yes."
But, as members of Root, do they have a choice?
Even though they knew that it was a fatal mission, they still had to complete it.
This was the destiny of the Root members.
Danzo rushed over, picked the unconscious Naruto, jumped up, and rushed towards the Root base.
The silver fluid seemed to guess his thoughts and split a tentacle to wrap around Naruto's calf.
"Damn it! What the hell is this thing?!"
Danzo was really shocked.
He wanted to get rid of the silver fluid, but he was in a hurry, and the silver fluid actually latched onto Naruto's body, wrapping it around Naruto and attacking his body at the same time.
Sensing the approaching crisis, Danzo's pupils shrank, and without any delay, he threw Naruto to the Root member beside him with his backhand.
After catching Naruto's body, the unlucky Root member, before he could even react, silver fluid penetrated his body and he let out a miserable cry.
"Quick! Throw it to the next person!"
After hearing Danzo's order, the Root member endured the severe pain and used his remaining strength to throw the unconscious Naruto to the next companion.
He himself fell to the sky.
The next unlucky guy who caught Naruto was also attacked by the silver fluid, and screamed again.
Fortunately, before he died, he also obeyed Danzo's order and threw Naruto to the next companion again.
Then, a strange scene appeared.
Every Root member that caught Naruto would scream and fall to the ground.
Just before dying, they would threow Naruto to the next person.
It seemed like a relay race in exchange for life.
A strange atmosphere spread from the heart of the remaining Root members. The eyes looking at the unconscious Naruto seemed to be looking at something extremely terrifying.
This was no longer the Jinchūriki.
This was simply a sleeping shinigami.
The kind where whoever picks him up dies.
Danzo's eyes burned with anger.
In order to divert keep the Jinchūriki, no less than ten of the Root he brought had died in such a short period of time.
Every Root member undergoes rigorous training, which consumes a lot of effort.
Such a huge loss was undoubtedly like taking away a piece of his flesh.
It made him feel very painful.
However, as long as Naruto could be successfully taken to the Root base, everything would be worth it.
Once he successfully places the [Cursed Tongue Eradication Seal] on Naruto, Naruto's life and death would depend on his thoughts.
By then, Mirai would have to surrender obediently.
A cold smile appeared on Danzo's face.
…
On the other side.
Mirai, whose [Bio-Magnetic Field Perception] was turned to its maximum, had already locked onto Naruto's position.
"Danzo! Are you really tired of living?"
His blue eyes were colder than ever before.
'Judging from the direction of his movement, it should be the Root base.'
'Do you want to take Naruto to the Root base to use Naruto to threaten me?'
In just a moment, he had guessed Danzo's intention.
The murderous intention became even stronger in his heart.
'The preliminary preparations on my side have come quite far.'
'Danzo, even god can't save you this time!'
[Electromagnetic Chakra Mode]
A violent blue arc of lightning enveloped his whole body in an instant, and his speed increased sharply as he rushed away suddenly.
The Root members left behind by Danzo also discovered the approaching Mirai.
"Quick! Stop him!"
"Buy time for Danzo-sama!"
These Root members formed hand seals at the same time, and their palms slammed on the ground.
[Earth Style ∙ Mud Wall]
Amidst the roar, a massive earthen wall rose up from the ground, blocking the only way Mirai must pass.
They know Mirai's strength, and that they alone were not enough to stop Mirai.
So their goal was to hold off Mirai and buy Danzo-sama time.
The next second.
*Boom*
Following a series of deafening roar, in the horrified eyes of this group of Root, the wall they jointly released exploded instantly.
Mirai penetrated their defensive jutsu without even slowing down much.
"Die imbeciles!"
The icy-look on Mirai's face was reflected in their pupils, and the next moment, these Root members suffered the consequences of their actions.
Mirai sprinted at extremely high speed, with several sharp silver blades spread out all over his body.
[Mercury Porcupine Shot]
*Puff*
*Puff*
Accompanied by a dull sounds of flesh penetrating.
The seven roots were all dead before they could even move their fingers.
After killing these Root members, Mirai's speed did not slow down at all.
His target was clear, the Root base.
This time, he get of them completely.
