Yamanaka Fu and the Root Ninjas

Chapter 69 Yamanaka Fu and the Root Ninjas

Two people who can't make decisions will definitely not be able to reach a conclusion.

Even Sanshoku no Tatsu and Yamanaka Fu couldn't make decisions for the people behind them, so both sides quickly decided to temporarily end the meeting.

The meeting between Konoha's Root and Amegakure appears to have fallen apart.

"Naraku, the people from Konoha are leaving."

Konan glanced down at the Konoha ninjas who were retreating in an orderly fashion, her face showing barely suppressed anxiety.

The hidden creature underground was also a little impatient.

Uehara Naraku secretly activated his Destiny skill, which had just finished cooling down, to observe the surrounding situation... That guy Zetsu was still crouching there too!

Should we test that treacherous fellow?

Uehara Naraku glanced at the departing Root ninja and whispered, "Sensei, let's go after the Root ninja from Konoha first!"

If Jue continues to follow them after he and Xiao Nan leave, then there's something wrong with the situation!

If there are absolutely no problems...

Let's take this opportunity to complete a few missions targeting Root ninjas!

As the darkest organization in the ninja world, Danzo Shimura and the Root ninjas obviously harbored a great deal of malice, and therefore had many missions to undertake…

This shouldn't be too much of a loss.

"…good."

Konan agreed with Uehara's suggestion and then instructed him, "When you're chasing them, leave one alive and see if you can get any information about Danzo..."

"But…"

Uehara Naraku frowned, hesitatingly saying, "These Konoha ninjas are all elites; I don't think they'd necessarily betray their superiors..."

"Um."

Xiao Nan nodded and said softly, "But it's alright. I'll explain to you after we catch them."

She definitely wants to summon the human form of Pain.

The Human Path of Pain possesses the ability to delve into the depths of the mind, often capable of gathering all the information within a person's brain; that's about all the Human Path can do...

If it weren't for gathering intelligence, he would only be able to act as a close-range meat shield and scapegoat, just like Pain in the Asura Path...

"I'll go with you!"

Hattori Hirakawa quickly grabbed his ninja sword and followed them.

If it were to attack the Rain Village ninjas, Hattori Hirakawa would definitely adopt a "die-or-die" attitude; however, when it came to ambushing and killing Konoha ninjas, Hattori Hirakawa was very willing to cooperate.

"..."

Uehara Naraku and Konan couldn't help but glance at him again. Did this guy think he was strong enough to be useful in battle?

Hattori Hirakawa understood their looks and muttered in dissatisfaction, "No matter what, I'm still a Jonin!"

"A Jonin..."

Uehara Naraku grumbled softly, "I was just thinking of testing my strength against a few Jonin recently..."

Hattori Hirakawa: "..."

Konan tapped the back of Uehara Naraku's head with her fingers and chuckled, "Alright, let's take him with us!"

After all, it's rare to find a Rain Ninja willing to cooperate.

Konan and Nagato wanted to kill Hanzo the Salamander not only for revenge, but also to rule their homeland, the Land of Rain, and make their homeland better.

Those loyal Hanzo ninjas will therefore become a major problem for them in governing the Land of Rain in the future.

It was for this reason that Konan led Uehara to attack Amegakure's strongholds, creating terror for Akatsuki and forcing Hanzo to gather his confidants to protect her, thus eliminating them all.

Hattori Hirakawa isn't particularly strong, but he carries the burden of pain and is already showing signs of dissatisfaction with Hanzo...

We might spare his life.

After all, the Land of Rain is a small country, and there aren't many Jonin.

Both Konan and Nagato were well aware that the Land of Rain was weak and lacked talent, and that ninjas from other countries obviously looked down on the ninjas of Amegakure.

For example, the Konoha ninja who just withdrew from the canyon.

Yamanaka Fu led his men to hide in a stone cave. He was writing down his account of his first encounter with the Amegakure ninja, planning to send it to Konoha soon.

"Hmph, who do those Rain Ninjas think they are?"

One of the Root ninjas finally couldn't hold back and cursed out loud.

Although Root has never been very famous, it wields considerable power in Konoha, and even dares to attack and kill ANBU ninjas.

Amegakure is just a small ninja village in a small country. During times of war, it was used as a battlefield by larger countries. The Amegakure ninja wanted to cooperate with Root, but they actually wanted them to back down first.

"After all, the leader of Amegakure is Hanzo the Salamander..."

Yamanaka Kaze paused his writing and softly advised, "Lord Danzo is unable to leave the village for the time being, so the task of the meeting can only be completed by us. Let's be patient for now and prioritize the mission."

"Yes, Captain."

"Apart from essential patrol and reconnaissance personnel, everyone else should avoid going out."

Yamanaka Fu tapped his fingers lightly on the table and whispered, "For the time being, we will wait here for Lord Danzo's orders. Do not provoke any trouble within the Land of Rain. We absolutely cannot afford to lose sight of the bigger picture..."

"Enemy attack!"

A panicked voice came from the cave entrance!

Before Yamanaka Fu and his group of Konoha ninjas could react, a deafening bombardment rang out!

Boom!

The entire mountain looked as if it had been destroyed by an explosion!

Shan Zhongfeng felt the ground beneath his feet tremble, and rocks rolled down, leaving them nowhere to hide!

"Earth Release: Rock Pillar Prison!"

Several Root ninjas quickly formed hand seals and released Earth Release ninjutsu, supporting the cave to prevent it from collapsing.

One of the sensory ninjas observed for a while and said in a deep voice, "Captain, the mountain walls aren't thick. We can escape as long as we create a gap!"

"Wind Release: Vacuum Slash Wave!"

Several ninjas skilled in Wind Release formed hand seals and unleashed Wind Release ninjutsu, opening a breach leading to the outside world.

After a group of Root ninjas jumped out, the outside environment had completely changed, and they could no longer hide their surprise: "What... what happened?"

"If I remember correctly..."

Shan Zhongfeng's gaze faltered slightly as he examined the scattered gravel, beads of cold sweat gradually forming on his forehead. "When we came here, this should have been a mountain, right?"

Where are there any mountains left here now!

Besides the cave where they had just landed being reduced to ruins, the entire hill was inexplicably blown away!

"Captain, someone's here!"

Several figures were standing on a rock.

A woman with blue hair stood on a rock, surrounded by several boys of varying heights, with an ordinary rain ninja trembling at the very edge.

It was Konan and Uehara Naraku, among others.

Looking at the Konoha ninja, Uehara Naraku clicked his tongue in amazement, "A million explosive tags bombarded them, and so many still survived... Is this the strength of the Konoha ninja?"

"Cough cough..."

Xiao Nan coughed a few times, her face flushing slightly.

Because she simply laid out a layer of explosive tags haphazardly, the coverage was too wide and the explosive tags were too scattered, so the power of the explosive tag array was not brought into play at all.

The entire mountain was indeed blown away... but the Konoha ninjas hiding in the cave survived.

However, what they originally wanted was for the Konoha ninja to be alive.

Konan calmly opened her palms, and two paper wings slowly gathered behind her, carrying her into the air: "Alright, Naraku, let's begin!"
