Hearing the words of this Root Ninja, the other three felt slightly relieved.
As long as it wasn't Kinoshita Yoshiro, they didn't have too many concerns.
"Let's finish this quickly."
The Root captain said coldly, simultaneously raising his head and shouting towards the direction from which the Chakra was coming:
"We are Konoha Ninja, performing a special mission. Is there some misunderstanding?"
"Konoha Ninja?"
A faint voice came from within the thick fog.
Hearing this, the four Root Ninja showed a slight smile on their faces, and at the same time, one of the Root Ninja whispered:
"The location has been found..."
However, before this Root Ninja could finish speaking, a voice full of coldness faintly entered the ears of the four people!
"It is precisely you Konoha Ninja that we are killing!"
Ameyuri Ringo had appeared not far from the four of them at some point, raising the Thunder Blade in her hand and directly throwing it.
At the same time, Ameyuri Ringo quickly formed hand seals with both hands and let out a soft shout:
"Thunder Blade Technique - Thunder Gate!"
"Thunder Blade Technique - Falling Thunder!"
Dazzling electric light shone on the thrown Thunder Blade, and countless arcs of current shot out from the Thunder Blade, heading towards the four people!
"Earth Release - Earth Wall!"
A Root Ninja let out a soft shout, slammed his hands onto the ground, and an earth wall instantly rose up, blocking their path.
Swish! Swish!
After the earth wall rose, the four Root Ninja instantly dispersed in four directions!
At the same time, the Root Ninja who ran towards the east said with a hint of anger:
"You are trying to provoke a war!"
"War?"
A cold smile played on Ameyuri Ringo's lips, and she directly jumped onto the earth wall, grabbing the Thunder Blade that hadn't landed yet.
Do you want to lure me over? Then let it be as you wish!
Ameyuri Ringo looked towards the east, her body slightly crouching.
Threads of electric light immediately wrapped around her feet, and in the next instant, she directly turned into an afterimage, chasing towards the east.
On the other side, the Root Ninja who headed west cautiously surveyed his surroundings while carefully moving forward.
The surrounding mist was simply too thick; he couldn't help but be cautious.
However, this Ninja didn't notice at all that not far in front of him, a mass of water was slowly moving towards him.
Splash!
The moment this Root Ninja stepped into the mass of water, Suigetsu Hozuki directly appeared, firmly fixing this Root Ninja in place, while simultaneously reaching out, taking out a kunai, and directly stabbing it into this Root Ninja's heart.
This Root Ninja's eyes widened abruptly, and traces of blood flowed from his mouth. The next moment, he had already lost his life.
"As long as you are within this thick fog, it is our Kirigakure's home ground!"
Suigetsu Hozuki gently placed the corpse on the ground and once again turned into a mass of water, disappearing.
Compared to the quietness on Suigetsu Hozuki's side, flashes of electric light streaked through the thick fog on Ameyuri Ringo's side.
"Ah!!"
A scream echoed within the thick fog, and the next moment, the sound abruptly stopped.
Immediately after, a flash of electric light quickly fled in another direction.
On the outskirts of the thick fog.
The Root captain was the first to rush out of the thick fog. When he heard the scream coming from within the fog, his face became somewhat grim:
"Damn it! Who are these people? It seems we can only temporarily retreat!"
Just as this Root captain was about to move, his body suddenly froze. He saw a young man sitting not far in front of him, observing him with great interest.
The Root captain quickly pulled out a kunai and immediately prepared for battle.
"Oh, one actually escaped."
A faint voice sounded behind that Root Ninja.
When!
In an instant, that Root Ninja was covered in cold sweat, while the young man in front of him had already disappeared.
Yūto watched the Root Ninja who quickly turned around, wanting to fight, and slightly shook his head.
He raised his finger and lightly flicked the Root Ninja's head.
Before the Root Ninja could react, he felt his entire brain take a heavy blow, and the next moment, he had already lost consciousness.
Yūto reached out and removed this Root Ninja's mask. It was a middle-aged Ninja with an ordinary appearance.
Although he had taken a hit from Yūto, this Ninja wasn't dead; it was just that his brain had suffered a heavy blow, turning him into an idiot.
Swish! Swish!
Two sounds of rushing wind came from the thick fog. Ameyuri Ringo and Suigetsu Hozuki had already appeared in front of Yūto.
"Two."
Ameyuri Ringo had a triumphant look on her face and glanced at Suigetsu Hozuki as she spoke.
Suigetsu Hozuki pouted and didn't speak. It was his fault for only killing one.
"Yūto-sama, this is?"
Ameyuri Ringo saw the Root Ninja beside Yūto-sama, whose eyes were dull and expression was vacant, and asked with some curiosity.
"To prevent him from committing suicide, and if he becomes an idiot, he's easier to control with Genjutsu."
Yūto looked at the Root Ninja with a vacant expression, a faint smile appearing on his face.
...
Tazuna's house.
"Thank you, mister. If you hadn't helped, we wouldn't have known what to do."
Sakura Haruno's voice gently sounded from the side.
"It's nothing, just a small favor. After all, I've been staying here during this time. As a Ninja invited by Mr. Tazuna, I should help."
A gentle voice sounded from the side, and then, this voice conveyed a confused tone:
"Could it be that you were attacked by other Ninja?"
"That's right, that's right, it was a really strong Ninja called 'Demon Man', but I still defeated him!"
Uzumaki Naruto's slightly triumphant voice also sounded from the side.
"How amazing." That gentle voice sounded again, with a hint of surprise in it.
In a daze, Kakashi Hatake, who heard this conversation, slowly opened his eyes.
"Kakashi-sensei is awake!"
Uchiha Sasuke, sitting beside Kakashi, showed a hint of joy on his face when he saw Kakashi open his eyes.
Kakashi supported his somewhat dizzy head and slowly sat up.
Did I overuse my Sharingan...
"Kakashi-sensei, you're finally awake!"
Sakura Haruno and Naruto's voices, filled with surprise, came from the side.
"Oh, sorry, I made you worry."
Kakashi nodded slightly, speaking with a hint of apology in his tone. At the same time, Kakashi raised his head and surveyed his surroundings.
When he saw a middle-aged man in ordinary clothes beside their client, Tazuna, Kakashi's pupils couldn't help but slightly contract.
"Who is that?" Kakashi's expression remained unchanged as he looked at the middle-aged man and asked faintly.
Hearing Kakashi's words, Uzumaki Naruto was just about to speak to introduce him but suddenly froze. Although they had been chatting happily just now, Naruto didn't know the middle-aged man's name.
"Hello, Ninja. You can call me Yoshiro."
Kinoshita Yoshiro had a gentle smile on his face as he looked at Kakashi and spoke.
