The Root operative's tone, was icy, with a hint of nervousness.
The gazes of thirty-nine Root operatives, were fixed on the girl sitting there quietly.
Not a single Root operative dared to relax their vigilance… they didn't even dare to breathe loudly, as if there were thousands of demons residing within the girl sitting there!
The scene, was solemn.
The scene, was bizarre.
The girl smiled sweetly at the Root operative in the lead.
As if she was a girl next door, looking at the handsome big brother next door…
"So, Danzo sent you here this time, just for this?"
Qingchuan smiled, and asked softly.
"Just to have me go to Root and work for him?"
"And not… for the little guy in the room?"
It was a little mysterious.
Danzo's mind, seemed to always be so inscrutable…
What time was it already?
Itachi was about to massacre the clan, and he was still fixated on her?
Even after she, an Uchiha, had somehow managed to trick a Nine-Tails Jinchūriki into going home with her, he didn't care at all?
Go to Root to report for duty…
She seemed to have heard these words quite a few times.
"This is not the order of the Elder, but the order of the Hokage-sama."
His voice was a little nervous, the Root operative couldn't help but swallow his saliva, but he still said staunchly.
"And as for the whereabouts of the Nine-Tails Jinchūriki… you have no right to know."
Qingchuan's eyebrows twitched.
This Root operative's answer, was so lovely.
As expected, they were still after her small account...
"How sad."
The smile on Qingchuan's face remained, but her hand landed on Senbonzakura at her waist.
"There's always someone who wants to break me and my lovely disciple apart."
"Is it really so hard, to ask you to bless us?"
It seemed like a helpless sigh.
And as soon as the words fell, Senbonzakura was already halfway out of its sheath!
And as early as the moment the girl's hand touched the sword, all the Root operatives, who had completely entered battle mode, directly formed a battle formation!
Several Root operatives' hands turned into afterimages, unleashing the fastest hand speed of their lives, doing hand seals like crazy!
More Root operatives pulled out their weapons, long swords, kunai, shuriken, flashbangs, explosive tags, one after another!
Root, had obviously come prepared.
Before setting off, they had even braced themselves with the same resolve as if they were assassinating the Hokage!
Uchiha Haruko, an absolute perennial target on Root's mission list.
For missions targeting this girl, except for the first one, where Shisui of the Body Flicker and Kakashi Hatake had helped.
The rest, mostly resulted in death or injury!
The few exceptions, who managed to survive, were Kapu, who chose to defect from Root and join ANBU, and Shisui Uchiha, who gave up the mission…
The Root operatives who went to intercept her that time, weren't that much less than their current number!
"Uchiha Haruko!"
Facing the sword in the girl's hand, the Root operative finally mustered his courage and shouted!
"This is the Hokage-sama's order, we are just acting according to the order!"
"Don't... force us to attack!"
Gritting his teeth, the Root operative shouted loudly with extreme tension.
But just as his words fell.
Bang!
A visible shockwave directly sent this Root operative flying far away!
The Root operatives who were hit along the way also staggered and fell, and this Root operative, was directly smashed into the wall!
Qingchuan sheathed her sword, and retracted her pinky finger, her eyes were full of playfulness.
"I'm pushing you, what of it?"
"Go ahead, attack!"
With Shunpo, right under the noses of the Root operatives, Qingchuan took a step using Shunpo and came directly in front of him.
"Didn't you say it was the Hokage-sama's order?!"
"Go ahead, attack!"
As Qingchuan spoke, feeling the killing intent behind her, she directly turned her head and swept her gaze around.
And at the moment she turned her head.
Whatever killing intent, was immediately gone without a trace…
The Root operatives were immediately on high alert!
Those who should be holding their swords, held them, those who should be holding explosive tags, held explosive tags, those who should be doing hand seals, did hand seals…
Not a single person dared to look the girl in the eye!
The Root operative who had been smashed into the wall was still breathing with difficulty…
And the girl in front of him, had transformed into a demon, bared fangs at his colleagues!
The scene, became even more bizarre for a time…
A delicate girl, a delicate sword.
A group of masked, well-equipped, and capable Root personnel.
And the human wall art, who looked like they were breathing more air out than in…
Seeing that none of the Root operatives had the courage to attack.
The smile on the girl's face, grew richer, and more gentle…
"Now."
"Are you willing to bless me, and my lovely disciple?"
At the same time.
On the other side.
In a corner of the ninja world.
Obito, who was in a pensive state, suddenly sensed something, and looked into the distance.
Zetsu's figure was running wildly towards him.
"Obito! Something terrible happened!"
Zetsu quickly ran to Obito's side, and as he spoke, his body gradually turned into a white liquid, merging into Obito's body.
"What's wrong?"
Frowning, Obito asked in a cold voice.
"I was just playing catching butterflies, and a Konoha special clone disappeared! It relayed very important intelligence!"
"It's about… Uchiha Haruko yo!"
His gaze suddenly turned cold, endless killing intent erupted, Obito's aura was extremely violent in an instant!
"Get to the point!"
"Ah! How scary!" Zetsu was directly startled, "That Danzo guy, seems to have sent a large number of Root to find Uchiha Haruko!"
"Anyway, the direction is right, you wouldn't let me monitor Uchiha Haruko, so that's all I could do!"
"Dozens of people! All black, my clone was almost scared to death..."
Zetsu exclaimed somewhat exaggeratedly.
But before his words could finish, the scarlet in Obito's eyes, had turned into a vortex…
