"As expected of a Jonin, you have some skills." He praised with a forced smile, trying to delay time as much as possible.

"What a pity! If you had risked getting injured just now, you might have been able to run away. But now, you have no chance." After saying that, a team of Root ninjas walked out from the darkness. Each of them had a gloomy temperament and wore a mask, so their specific faces could not be seen. However, the aura unique to the Root could be clearly seen on several of them.

"Go!" The leader gave the order, and the others rushed forward, leaving no chance for Fengjian. Fengjian barely blocked a few attacks, then was kicked away, and then blocked by a tree trunk, sliding to the ground.

"How could you be so valued by Danzo-sama when your skills are not that great?" One of them stepped forward and tried to control Kazama. The moment he touched Kazama, the root instantly felt something was wrong, so he stepped back a few steps just in case.

I saw that Fengjian's body was gradually changing color and gradually turned into an earth cocoon.

"It's the Earth clone. Everyone be careful. The enemy is good at long-range sneak attacks. Be on guard with your backs to each other." The leader of the Root knew Fengjian's intelligence. The best way to capture this person is to get close to him. Once he disappears from sight, it will be difficult to capture him again.

"Perception ninja, hurry up, look for his trace."

"Understood." Someone stepped out and pressed a finger on the ground. It turned out to be the art of sensing the earth. It was a technique of sensing the enemy's whereabouts through the movements caused by the enemy's actions.

"He's 300 meters to the northeast." The sensing ninja's reaction was very fast. As soon as he finished speaking, two arrows, one on the left and one on the right, broke through the air.

"Earth escape, Earth Flow Wall." The ninja on guard nearby reacted in time. He just made a seal and slapped the ground. An earth wall rose from the ground and blocked the arrow behind it.

"Damn it, are we prey now?" Seeing the arrows attacking, the leader knew that their mission had basically failed, and they were in a passive position. At such a long distance, if they ran over, Fengjian would have enough time to react. If they turned around and ran, then Fengjian would chase them from behind, and no one knew from which direction his arrows would be shot.

"Be careful, the attack is coming again."

"where is it?"

"Heaven, heaven." One of the drivers even stuttered because he saw the scene he least wanted to see. A dark cloud floated in the sky. Then he found that it was not a dark cloud at all, but a rain of arrows that covered the sky and the sun.

Moreover, the direction of the attack was exactly where they were. With such a large-scale indiscriminate attack, they didn't even have the space to dodge and could only resist it. But how could they resist it? Ninjas themselves were not good at defense, and their high mobility was their strength.

"Damn it, everyone gather around me, Earth escape. Earth escape barrier." An eggshell-shaped Earth escape protective layer grew on the ground, covering everyone, like a grave. However, this Root ninja was thoughtful, and actually used the Earth escape that trapped the enemy as a defensive ninjutsu.

The earth escape barrier has not yet been completely closed, and arrows have already swarmed in. Fortunately, the power of the arrows is average and not enough to penetrate the earth wall. Occasionally, some arrows are thrown over the head through the unclosed space, and the small number of arrows can be dealt with.

Hearing the sound of arrows hitting the earth wall, everyone in the Root felt their hearts sink. This mission was a complete failure. Even if they returned alive, the punishment from the Root would be enough to make them shudder.

"What now, Boss?" the others asked.

"At this distance, it's impossible for us to catch the person with just a few people. We can only send a signal to call for more people to surround him. Even if we will be punished by Lord Danzo, we must complete the mission." Several people shuddered at the thought of the punishment for failing the Root mission. This is also the reason why the Root is so crazy in carrying out missions.

"Tengu, use the subterranean navigation technique to sneak back and call more people. The rest of you, hang on to him and protect yourself. Once the people are in place, surround him. No matter if he's dead or alive."

"Hi" xx.

In the distance, Kazama saw the Root hiding in the earth escape barrier. If he wanted to break through the earth escape barrier with a bow and arrow, he would probably need the Gale Arrow. He turned around and glanced at the Konoha Village behind him, thinking in his mind.

After a long while, Feng Jian made a hand seal and left two clones at the spot. "You guys stay here and fight them. Shoot anyone who dares to show their head. Delay as much as possible. If you can't delay any longer, then disband. I won't accompany you any more."

Today's killing game against Kazama was a thrilling one for Kazama. If he didn't handle it carefully, he might be caught by Danzo. But for Danzo, it was just an appetizer. Success or failure didn't have much impact. After all, Kazama was just a Chunin. If he succeeded, he could breathe a sigh of relief and warn Tsunade. If he failed, at most he would have wasted some effort.

Even if Kazama used this incident to cause trouble, Tsunade would not turn against Danzo because of this matter. It was reasonable for an elder to summon a Chunin, even if everyone knew that Danzo had bad intentions. Danzo's only mistake was to falsely convey the Hokage's order, but Danzo could easily push this matter to his subordinates, and it would not hurt Danzo at all.

After understanding all this, Kazama decided not to continue. Because killing a few Root ninjas would be useless, and it might even make Danzo angry. On the contrary, this seemingly weak withdrawal could actually avoid Danzo's attention, because many people in the village were not interested in Danzo, and they all dealt with it this way, not offending him, but also not obeying him. The main idea was to hide as much as possible.

Leave a few clones here to tease the roots. This is the anger of Kazama. You have plotted against me. I can let you have such an easy life. I can't deal with Danzo, and I can't deal with you. Just act like Voldemort and roll around in the wild.

"Lady Tsunade, just now, just now, I was attacked. Someone falsely conveyed the order of Lord Hokage, but I saw through it. Then they attacked me and wanted to arrest me by force." Kazama, who was covered in dust and dirt, came to the Hokage's office in a panic and started questioning.

"I have never given such an order." Tsunade crossed her chest and faced Kazama without any extra explanation. They both understood the reason for the assassination.

"In that case, shouldn't we show some expression?"

"Well, let's put it this way. Considering that the Root falsely conveyed the Hokage's orders, bullied the ninjas from the same village, and had a tough attitude and refused to repent, I order the Root to deduct this month's funds and the person involved to be fined 100 million taels. Effective immediately." Tsunade knew that she couldn't push too hard, but she couldn't just sit back and take action either.

If it was normal times, Danzo would not even blink an eye and fine him directly. One million ryo would settle the matter of falsely conveying the Hokage's order. Why would he hesitate? But it is not possible now. The funds of the Root are already tight. Some time ago, it caused the loss of some Root personnel. The other two people who formed a clique with him fell again, and the source of funds is seriously short.

As a result, Tsunade's fine just hit the weakest link of the root. The key point is that in the eyes of outsiders, this punishment is very light, and if Danzo resists, it will be considered as ungrateful.
