Sunny and cheerful Konoha Genin

Let’s go, let’s go…

A bead of cold sweat slowly trickled down the Iwanin's forehead.

He tried to regulate his breathing, but his heart was still beating fast.

"..."

Wait, why is it so quiet around here?

He moved his body tentatively.

Whoosh!

A shuriken landed at his feet.

"You'd better not move."

In the darkness, several figures slowly walked out, and in their eyes, the three magatama slowly rotated.

The Uchiha clan!

Seeing these people, Iwa Ninja's eyes were filled with despair.

Can't escape...

Iwa Ninja secretly groaned in his heart, these guys had a bad reputation, it was difficult to deal with one alone, let alone a group!

"There's a guy alive. What should we do? Captain Yukina?"

he heard the Uchiha ninja across from him ask.

Is there another person that I haven't discovered yet?!

Hey.

There was a light sound of footsteps on the branch next to me.

"Gulu."

This Rock Ninja knew that he was in a desperate situation and his chance of escape was now zero!

But he didn't want to die here.

what to do? what to do!

With sweat dripping from his forehead, the Rock Ninja nervously looked around, trying to find a glimmer of hope.

However, there were dense forests all around, and the Uchiha clan had already skillfully separated and surrounded the place.

"Want to die or live?"

He heard the Uchiha known as Captain Yukina speak.

"I surrender, I surrender!"

The Iwa Ninja raised his hands without hesitation. The other party had already forced him into a desperate situation, so there was no need to lie to him anymore.

Although surrendering might result in torture, the intelligence we have obtained is not much in the first place, and what we have sent back before is enough to repay old man Ohnoki.

"Shisui, you take Itachi and deal with it, the others follow me."

After leaving these words, Yukina and the other Uchiha left quickly.

There are more merits waiting for them, so there is no need to waste time here for one person.

Almost in an instant, the surroundings became quiet again.

The sound of insects, which had originally quieted down, began to sound again.

The Iwagakure saw two Uchiha, one big and one small, standing in front of him.

"What... do you want to do?" the Rock Ninja asked with a trembling voice, trying his best to stay calm.

"Itachi."

Shisui didn't answer, but looked at Itachi next to him.

"Yes."

Itachi formed a seal with one hand, and the magatama in his eyes suddenly began to spin!

It's an illusion!!

The Iwa Ninja's eyes widened, and his body subconsciously wanted to resist. However, in less than three seconds, his consciousness completely collapsed and his eyes became dull.

"What is your purpose here?"

"Gather information and report back to Iwagakure."

"How much intelligence have you gathered?"

"There are three major categories and four subcategories, namely..."

The Iwagakure remained dazed and told all the information he knew.

Although it was Itachi's first mission, Shisui had already given him the necessary interrogation manual beforehand, so he was now very calm.

Shisui, who was watching from the side, also had a look of relief on his face.

Itachi's talent for illusion is very high!

He had never seen an Uchiha with such a high talent for illusion.

It needs to be cultivated well!

After completing the interrogation, Itachi also manipulated the Iwagakure to collect the bodies of his companions, and then he knocked him out cleanly and handed him over to the Uchiha logistics troops behind him for management.

"Well done, Itachi."

Shisui patted his shoulder in appreciation.

"Thank you for the compliment, Shisui-nii."

Itachi was still a little embarrassed, but he was very happy in his heart.

"Let's go, today's mission is not over yet."

"Ah."

The two figures disappeared again.

And on the other side.

"Ahhhh! What the hell is this!?"

The five Sand Ninjas who had no chance to escape were entangled by the vines and branches that suddenly grew wildly and were tied up tightly.

These vines and branches seemed to have life, tightly binding their bodies, making them unable to move, while also slowly draining their chakra!

"It's Wood Release! Why does Konoha Village have Wood Release?"

A Sand Ninja shouted in horror.

He recognized this ninjutsu. After all, it was the ninjutsu of the first Hokage that was famous in the ninja world. All the ninjas from other villages who had seen this ninjutsu had died, and Nawaki's fame was completely overshadowed by Shisui, so they didn't even know about this!

"When did Konoha produce such a person!" another Sand Ninja said gritting his teeth.

His face was full of anger and unwillingness. He had originally thought that this mission would be easily accomplished, but he did not expect to encounter such a difficult enemy.

"We must pass this information on! It's too deadly!"

"But how do we get out of this situation now?"

"Use the detonating talisman quickly!" A Sand Ninja shouted, "It seems that you are not proficient in this Wood Release. Our chakra does not flow that fast. If we are slower, it will be too late!"

"I have a puppet!"

One of their puppeteers perked up, mobilized his chakra, controlled his puppet, and flew towards them with a detonating tag, trying to escape with an explosion.

However, just as the detonating talisman was about to reach them, a thick and strong branch nearby suddenly hit them at an extremely fast speed!

With a crisp "pop" sound, the puppet was instantly blown up in mid-air, and shattered with a snap under the shocked gaze of several Sand Ninjas!

"Ah!! I spent tens of thousands of taels to buy this puppet! This is a limited edition!" The puppeteer shouted in pain, tears bursting out all of a sudden, and his heart broke along with them.

"You'd better be honest."

Sheng Shu walked out of the darkness with an unhappy look on his face.

"I only controlled the speed of absorbing chakra to prevent accidentally draining you. How dare you say that I am not a good student?"

"Then let you feel what it's like to be drained of tea!"

He clenched his palms, and several Sand Ninjas suddenly felt the chakra in their bodies quickly draining away!

"Ah, no!"

"We were wrong, spare us!"

"Never again, never again!"

"My puppet!"

Various screams echoed throughout the woods.

And the smell of blood began to spread in the darkness.

Compared to the Root, the Anbu are much more brutal in their actions.

Kill the enemy when you see it. The red names are monsters. Either kill the enemy or be killed by him.

This scene also fell into the eyes of Sarutobi Hiruzen who was watching the battle at the entrance of Konoha Village.

"Ito, these subordinates of yours..."

He hesitated to speak: "I don't think he is very murderous?"

When Danzo was in charge of the Root, Sarutobi Hiruzen often felt that his methods were too bloody, but now the Root's actions give him a subtle sense of disharmony.

"They are just pawns. There is no need to make things too bloody when the strength is completely suppressed."

Ito Toru shrugged, "These are all abandoned pawns of the enemy. My new Root will not kill nameless people."

As for Yukina, the ones who started the killing were from the Konoha Guard!

"That's it..."

Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded thoughtfully.

If they were to carry out their tasks separately under normal circumstances, nothing would be noticeable.

But now is the time to act together.

A comparison between the two will reveal the difference!
