Naruto: I, Naruto, Start With The Full-Level Shining Fruit

Karin silently followed Naruto towards the exit.

Along the way, she saw countless corpses of Root ninjas, which couldn't help but make her worry about Naruto.

Did Naruto really not care about killing so many Konoha ninjas?

Or had Naruto already planned to defect from Konoha?

Naruto killed so many people to save me, even at the cost of defecting from Konoha, could it be that…

Thinking of this, Karin's cheeks flushed red.

She secretly looked at Naruto's handsome and indifferent profile.

So handsome!

But she couldn't tell at all that Naruto liked her!

But if he didn't like her, why would he go to such lengths for her?

Naruto noticed Karin's strange gaze and asked, "What's wrong?"

"N-Nothing!" Karin shook her head, her cheeks flushed with embarrassment.

Seeing this, Naruto knew what she was thinking.

First, Koyuki, then Karin… Didn't anyone consider that he was not yet an adult?

"Don't overthink it. I adopted you. In a sense, you are also my person. These Root guys grabbed my people without even saying hello. They were asking for death!"

Karin nodded, her face red.

The only words in her mind were 'you are also my person'.

But soon she worried again, "But Naruto, is it really okay that you killed so many Konoha ninjas?"

"Heaven knows, earth knows, you know, and I know," Naruto said indifferently.

"But there are still so many people here…"

Before she finished speaking, Karin thought of something and immediately shut her mouth.

She knew that Naruto was not a soft-hearted person.

If Naruto didn't want the matter here to be spread, then the people here would definitely be silenced!

Outside Root,

Karin saw the cage-like light barrier that Naruto had set up!

Someone tried to escape the barrier, but was instantly cut in half by the barrier!

Seeing the flesh and blood scattered all over the ground, Karin shuddered.

Even though she had seen many deaths, seeing such a bloody scene, she, a blood bag ninja, was still a little afraid!

She had only been seriously training as a ninja for these few months. Before that, she had never killed anyone in Kusagakure!

"That person is out!"

"Benefactor, thank you for saving us! Did you create this barrier? Can you let us out?"

Those who were saved by Naruto, but didn't even say thank you when they ran away, turned around and called him benefactor after discovering that they couldn't escape the barrier.

But Naruto never intended to let them go from beginning to end!

Danzo was dead, and the current Hokage was Tsunade. Maintaining his identity as a Konoha ninja was not harmful to him!

Letting these people out would threaten his interests!

Ignoring these people's gratitude, Naruto directly reached out and controlled the light sphere in the sky that controlled the entire birdcage. Invisible light rays dispersed from the light sphere, locking onto those who were still alive one by one.

Swoosh!

A round of barrage!

The world was quiet!

Except for him and Karin, everyone was shot and killed by the lasers!

Looking at Naruto's cold and murderous appearance, Karin felt a trace of fear in her heart, but thinking that Naruto had come to save her, she quickly transformed the fear into admiration!

Perhaps some of these people didn't deserve to die, but what did it have to do with them?

In this Root, even if they didn't take action, these people would die in Root's missions sooner or later!

Anyway, they were all going to die. Whether others killed them or Naruto killed them, it wasn't that evil!

Karin convinced herself like this, and then followed Naruto out of the barrier.

The moment they walked out, the barrier instantly contracted, cutting the entire Root into pieces.

Then Naruto fired a super-powerful 'Zeperion Ray' at the entire Root, turning it into an endless abyss!

This way, even if someone wanted to investigate, there would be nowhere to investigate!

However, the price of doing so was that the commotion was too great, and the entire Konoha felt the tremor here!

"We have to go."

Naruto sensed someone coming towards him and pulled Karin away.

In less than ten minutes, a team of Anbu arrived at Root, and fell into deep thought as they looked at the endless abyss.

Was there such a big canyon here before?

...

"What? Root is gone?"

Tsunade slammed her hand on the table and stood up, looking incredulous when she heard the Anbu's investigation results!

"Y-Yes, Hokage-sama! Although it's hard to believe, according to our investigation and speculation, the entire Root has been plunged into an abyss!"

Was an enemy invading Konoha?

The sudden appearance of an enemy with such strength in Konoha was very unsettling!

She had only just succeeded as the Fifth Hokage not too long ago. If Konoha suffered a major loss at this time, she would really be ashamed of the Hokage position!

Thinking of this, she immediately put Konoha on high alert and dispatched elite jonin to continue thoroughly investigating the mastermind behind Root's disappearance!

After she arranged everything, the two advisors also pushed the door open at this time.

"Tsunade, is the matter confirmed? Danzo he…" Mitokado Homura asked.

"The Anbu hasn't found any trace of Danzo yet. It's not clear whether Danzo is dead or alive," Tsunade replied.

Although she didn't like Root, and even more so didn't like Danzo, she, as the Hokage, had an obligation to protect the safety of the Root organization!

"Has the culprit been found?" Utatane Koharu asked.

"No, the Anbu's investigation revealed that the entire Root had been plunged into an abyss. Even after going thousands of meters deep, they couldn't find any traces!" Tsunade shook her head.

Plunged into an abyss?

Was the enemy who came this time a god?

The two advisors' moods became heavy.

"Sarutobi sacrificed himself to drive away Orochimaru. Now another unknown enemy has come and destroyed Konoha's Root with one move! Do the ninjas in this ninja world really think Konoha is easy to bully!"

"I think it's because Konoha has been silent for too long that those petty thieves always come to Konoha to cause destruction!"

Tsunade looked at the two advisors who were filled with righteous indignation and felt a little helpless.

Don't you two know why Konoha is like this?

Isn't it because Konoha is weak?

It lacks Kage-level combat power that has a decisive factor!

Back when Orochimaru was around, if Konoha had two more combatants like the Third Hokage, would the Third Hokage have died in battle?

"Tsunade, since the Orochimaru incident, the entire ninja world has been laughing at Konoha. Many countries are also eyeing us covetously. This incident must not be taken lightly! We must never let the Orochimaru incident happen again!"

This sentence was true. If Konoha were to be destroyed on a large scale again in a short period of time, and another Kage died, then it would really be hopeless!

At that time, everyone would come and take a bite out of Konoha!

Tsunade nodded heavily, while thinking about how to increase Konoha's defense force without affecting the tasks!

And as she thought, she thought of one person!

"Uzumaki Naruto!"

From a strength perspective, as long as Naruto was here, Konoha wouldn't have to worry about someone of Orochimaru's level invading Konoha.

But then again... Uzumaki Naruto's strength is so strong, why did the Third Hokage die at the hands of Orochimaru?

Could it be that he did it on purpose?
