Spoiler at the beginning, Brother Tuzi, can you really open your eyes to this?

The "Root" members present looked at each other in bewilderment.

Is it that funny?

"What are you laughing at, you guy? Is it funny?" a member of the Root Organization shouted.

Shigong Youyue laughed so hard that tears were about to come out.

After finally stopping her laughter, Shinomiya Yutsuki looked up with a playful smile on her face: "You just said it was the Hokage's order?"

"Heh, that one-eyed old reptile who hides in the dark all day and covets the light, when did he become the Hokage?"

"He conferred the title himself? Haha, a coward who wanted to be Hokage so badly, issuing orders in the name of Hokage, isn't this ridiculous, everyone?"

"Hey? Why aren't you guys smiling?"

Shinomiya Yutsuki looked at everyone with amusement, but the members of the Root Organization were already filled with murderous intent when they heard the first sentence.

Those pairs of eyes seemed to be able to penetrate Shigong Youyue and look directly at death.

A member of the Root organization slowly drew out his knife: "You know the existence of the Root, so you should not insult Danzo-sama."

"Originally, as long as you reveal how you got the information about the Root and how much you know, you still have a chance to survive."

"But now...we're not interested in interrogating a dead man!"

bass!

Before he finished speaking, several people drew their swords and rushed towards Sigong Youyue like thunder!

"Wind Style: Wind Blade!"

"Thunder Escape·Earth Walk!"

Almost at the same time, two members of the Root organization launched ninjutsu, covering the sky and the ground, blocking all of Shinomiya Yutsuki's retreat routes!

Faced with a desperate situation, Shigong Youyue remained calm and said two words lightly: "Wooden Dragon..."

next moment!

A giant dragon made entirely of trees suddenly burst out of the ground!

The deafening dragon roar resounded through the sky.

The dragon head lifted Shigong Youyue high in the air, and the hovering dragon body blocked all attacks for him.

"What's this?!"

"Doesn't the intelligence show that he only knows taijutsu?"

Shinomiya Youyue stood on the dragon head, overlooking the stunned Root members around him.

In just a moment, the wooden dragon's huge body rolled up, strangling all the enemies who drew their swords to death!

"what……"

The continuous screams quickly dissipated.

At this moment, only the two Root Organization members who did not launch close-range attacks were still alive.

"Wood Release?!"

The two were terrified.

They could never imagine that Shinomiya Yutsuki could use Wood Release!

And it’s of such a powerful size!

"So this is what killing someone feels like..."

“It doesn’t seem like a big deal.”

Shigong Youyue muttered softly. This was the first time in his two lifetimes that he had ended a life with his own hands.

It seems that he has adapted well.

"Okay, you two should go down and accompany your teammates. Don't let the team break up."

Sigong Youyue waved his hand, and countless sharp wooden spears suddenly sprang out from the ground.

The two men were pierced through the body and hung high in the air.

Until the last moment of their lives, their faces were still full of disbelief.

"I never thought that I would become a 'Piercing Man' one day."

Shinomiya Yutsuki controlled the wooden dragon to the ground. The moment it touched the ground, the wooden dragon and all traces left by the wood escape technique disappeared without a trace.

Without leaving any trace.

Except for those who also possess Wood Release, ordinary ninjas have no idea what killed them.

Then, Sigong Youyue put his hands behind his back, hummed a little tune, and walked leisurely towards his cabin.

However, this night was destined not to be peaceful.

After the incident with the Hyuga clan, Shinomiya Yuzuki's file was quickly placed on the desks of major forces.

——Hyuga Clan Residence——

"Are you sure this is his file?" Hinata Hiashi frowned. The information in his hand was completely different from the Shinomiya Yutsuki he met today.

Hinata Qingchi lowered his head and answered affirmatively: "It was directly transferred from the Ninja Academy."

"That's very strange..."

Hinata Hiashi was completely puzzled.

"Six years of being the last one..."

"Either I made a mistake today, or there is a special reason."

“But I think it should be the latter.”

Hinata Hiashi put the file aside and said, "In any case, we will not interfere in this matter and wait and see how it develops."

"If necessary, you can give Shigong Youyue some help at the appropriate time."

"Yes." Hinata Qingchi nodded in response.

——Hokage Building——

Sarutobi Hiruzen also received documents from the Anbu on his desk.

In this peaceful era, the Hyuga clan having their home broken into was already a major disturbance.

Not to mention that there is also a suspected genius named Shinomiya Yutsuki involved, which forces the Hokage to take it seriously.

"Defeat four Hyuga Chunins instantly using Taijutsu?"

"Are you sure it's him?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen took a puff of his old pipe, his face full of surprise.

He was also full of doubts in his heart, but he knew Sigong Youyue and knew his last-place status. What shocked him now was that Sigong Youyue actually hid such strength.

The Hyuga clan specializes in soft fists and is particularly good at taijutsu, but Shinomiya Yutsuki defeated them in their areas of strength.

Considering his age, which is not even a graduate yet, this is a bit exaggerated.

"This is the record we got from the Hyuga side, there shouldn't be too many discrepancies." The Anbu replied.

"This is strange..."

Just as Sarutobi Hiruzen was immersed in his thoughts, the door of the office suddenly opened and Danzo Shimura walked in with a solemn expression.

Sarutobi Hiruzen winked at the Anbu member, signaling him to leave the room.

After the man left, he turned to Danzo and asked, "Danzo, what can I do for you?"

Shimura Danzo walked to the desk and threw a stack of documents aside.

Sarutobi Hiruzen picked it up and saw that it was the information about Shinomiya Yutsuki.

"What's the point of showing this to me?"

"I just happened to have this on hand."

"Don't you think there's something fishy about this Yuzuki Shinomiya?" Danzo said.

"A little bit, but..."

Before Sarutobi Hiruzen could finish his words, Danzo interrupted him coldly, "This person has a close relationship with the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, and seems to be hiding a secret. I think he should be brought in for interrogation."

Sarutobi Hiruzen frowned, "This is unnecessary. I will talk to him tomorrow."

Shimura Danzo disagreed: "Huruzen, you are always so indecisive!"

"This concerns the safety of the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki. Do you want the Nine-Tails Rebellion to happen again?"

Danzo's righteous words made Sarutobi Hiruzen's face uncertain, and he took a deep puff of his pipe.

Finally, he said in a deep voice: "Let's slow down this matter. After all, he is Naruto's friend. We don't need to make things tense."

Shimura Danzo narrowed his eyes, with a hint of sarcasm flashing in his eyes: "I knew you would say that."

"But you don't have to wait. I have sent someone to 'invite' him. The truth will soon come out."

After saying this, Danzo turned around and was about to leave.

Bang!

Sarutobi Hiruzen suddenly became furious and slammed the table hard.

"Danzo! Do you still see me, the Hokage, as existent in your eyes?"

Shimura Danzo paused but did not reply.

Sarutobi Hiruzen stared at his back and made a decision in his heart:

"From now on, you are dismissed from your position as the Hokage's assistant, and your Root organization will be disbanded effective immediately."

"Danzo, you are not young anymore. It is not appropriate for you to interfere too much in other people's affairs. The future of Konoha should be handed over to those outstanding young people."

"I will send someone to take over Root tomorrow. You should prepare for the handover."

"Also, release him immediately after you return. Don't make me go to his house to beg for him."

At this moment, Sarutobi Hiruzen showed rare toughness.

Shimura Danzo turned around suddenly, his eyes full of disbelief: "Huruzen, just for a person of unknown origin, you are going to treat me like this?"

"He's different, he's Naruto's only friend."

Sarutobi Hiruzen turned and looked up at the bright moon in the night sky.

"I promised Minato that I would take good care of Naruto, but I broke my promise..."

"As Naruto's friend, Yuzuki Shinomiya has been by his side for many years and is almost like a half-brother to him."

"How will I face Naruto if something happens to him?"

"How am I going to face Minato and the others after I go down!"

Shimura Danzo was so angry that his face turned blue.

It was just a random arrest.

But I didn’t expect it to cause such a strong backlash!

He knew that Sarutobi Hiruzen had been looking for an opportunity to restrain himself, but he had not expected it to happen so soon.

In the end, Danzo Shimura sneered and left angrily.

Back to the gloomy "Root" organization base,

Without waiting for Danzo to catch his breath,

One of the men brought another "good news".

"Master Danzo, the twelve-man team sent to capture Yuzuki Shinomiya has lost contact for half an hour."

When Danzo heard this, his eyes went dark and he almost fainted from anger.

Two jonin and ten chuunins, dealing with a kid who hasn't even graduated from ninja school, how could something go wrong?

"A bunch of trash!"

"Recall those idiots! Mission canceled!"

Shimura Danzo gave the order. At the moment, Sarutobi Hiruzen was clearly going to protect Shinomiya Yuzuki, so he couldn't confront him head-on for the time being.

We have to leave this matter alone for now.

"As ordered!"

The men took the order and left.

Within ten minutes, the Root member returned in panic.

"This is terrible, Lord Danzo! They are all dead!"

Danzo had just poured himself a cup of hot tea when he heard the bad news and the cup shattered in his palm.

He stared at the man: "What did you say?"

"Of the twelve people who went to capture Shigong Youyue, none survived!"

"The last place they appeared was not Shigong Youyue's residence, but the Death Forest. It seems that someone deliberately led them in and killed them."

"Take me there! Now!" Danzo Shimura stood up suddenly.

Soon, Danzo Shimura led many members of the "Root" organization to arrive at the Forest of Death.

What came into view were the twelve horrific corpses lying on the ground.

However, for Danzo, this was just a small scene.

His face was as gloomy as water, and he walked forward to examine the body carefully.

After some investigation, his pupils suddenly contracted:

"Mu Dun?!"
