- Chapter 158 - The Roots Discovered (Part 1, Part 2)
Hekawa closed his eyes and used the Eye of the Heart, taking in all the situations within the ten kilometers in his mind.
In the original work, it was only mentioned that Shimura Danzo’s root had captured Konan, but the specific location was not mentioned.
The only way now is to search in a carpet-style manner.
But fortunately, Konan is not in danger of life for the time being.
“No.”
Hekawa opened his eyes and said, “Go to the next place.”
“Let’s go!”
Tsunade nodded slightly.
The five people ran in the rain at the fastest speed.
Yahiko and Nagato went to the other side.
With the Akatsuki base as the center, two groups of people went south and north.
In addition, a large number of Akatsuki members also went out to search in all directions.
They were slightly weaker in strength, and it was highly likely that they would not be able to find it, so they could only try their luck.
“The situation over there is not right!”
Half an hour later, Hanekawa was refreshed and said.
“Did you find it?”
Yuhi Kurenai asked hurriedly.
She had a good impression of Konan, her senior sister, and did not want her to get into trouble.
“No.”
Hekawa leaped up and said, “But maybe it’s a clue.”
Soon, they arrived at their destination.
This was originally a valley, but now it was a mess.
The ground collapsed and cracked, with cracks everywhere.
The trees and weeds were all buried, and traces of the explosion of the detonating tags could be vaguely seen.
“This is earth escape ninjutsu.”
Tsunade looked around and suddenly showed surprise on her face.
Most of the ninjas in the Hidden Rain Village are good at water escape, after all, it rains all year round in the Rain Country, and water escape has a bonus.
Of course, ninjas who can escape earth are not ruled out.
But the earth escape ninjas who can cause such landform changes are not that simple, most of them are jonins.
Tsunade doesn’t remember that there are earth escape jonins in the Hidden Rain Village.
Hekawa’s heart moved.
In the original work, Shimura Danzo’s roots once disguised themselves as ninjas from the Hidden Rain Village to attack the Akatsuki organization.
“This is the detonating talisman used by Senior Sister Xiaonan.”
Hekawa looked at the debris on the ground and said, “I have seen it before.”
“Very good.”
Tsunade said without thinking, “They should be nearby.”
After she finished speaking, she jumped into the air.
After a while, she landed on the ground again.
“Follow me.”
Tsunade said in a deep voice, “I found some traces.”
Although the Root was very careful, as one of the three ninjas of Konoha, she had too much vision and experience, and she still noticed it.
Hekawa suddenly thought of a proverb, “An old man in the family is like a treasure.”
Of course, such words must not be known to Tsunade, otherwise she would die miserably.
Hekawa followed Tsunade and looked around.
He recalled the tracking skills taught in the ninja school.
Everything you pass by will leave traces.
The bumps on the ground, the fallen weeds and the direction of the leaves, etc.
But whether you can see it depends on your ability.
Especially in this rainy weather, the traces are even less obvious.
“We’re here.”
Tsunade stopped.
Hekawa raised his head and looked into the distance, and saw a mountain.
The mountain was not very high, bare and clear at a glance.
In his 8x scope, he could easily find the camp at the foot of the mountain.
At the entrance of the camp, two ninjas stood meticulously in the rain.
They looked conscientious, but in fact they were unpopular, as if they were puppets executing orders.
This is the taste of Root ninjas.
After entering the Root, they will be brainwashed by Shimura Danzo and eventually become zombies who obey his orders.
However, this group of Root ninjas are now wearing the clothes of the Iwagakure Village and the forehead protectors of the Iwagakure Village.
“Iwagakure Village?”
Tsunade’s face showed confusion, “Why did the Iwagakure Village capture Konan?”
She didn’t think of the Root for the time being, as Hanekawa knew the answer in advance.
“There are eight people in total, but they are all very strong.”
Hekawa closed his eyes and said with the eye of his heart.
The Root nominally belongs to the Anbu, but the selection of members is all done by Danzo Shimura himself.
The members he chose are all geniuses without exception.
In other words, these eight people are either jonin or special jonin, and chunin are not qualified to join the Root.
“With this kind of strength, it looks like the Hidden Rock Village.”
Tsunade paused and ordered, “Day and I will attract attention from the front, and Hanekawa, Hong and Lin will go to rescue people.”
“Yes.”
Everyone said in unison.
“Who is it?”
As soon as Tsunade and Might Day appeared, they were discovered by the two Root ninjas guarding the gate.
“I won’t tell you!”
Might Day shouted, “Konoha Goriki Whirlwind!”
His body instantly disappeared from the spot, turning into a whirlwind and kicking the two Root ninjas.
“……?”
Tsunade’s face suddenly looked strange.
Although she didn’t think about hiding her identity, Might Day still made her want to complain.
How can a ninja call out the name of his ninjutsu so honestly when fighting?
It’s fine if you just yell, but you also added the word Konoha?
In her opinion, Might Dai would never be able to carry out an infiltration mission in his life.
At this moment, the rain in the sky paused for a second, and a terrible water dragon was formed.
The terrifying water flow fell from the sky and hit Might Dai.
He couldn’t dodge and was caught in it.
Tsunade instantly stepped forward and punched out, breaking the water dragon.
“Thank you, Tsunade-sama!”
After being rescued, Might Dai felt a little ashamed. He no longer hesitated and roared, “Eight Gates Open!”
A large amount of air rushed up into the sky, and a green energy enveloped him.
This meant that he had opened the third gate.
“Konoha Goriki Whirlwind!”
Might Dai crashed into the Root Ninja like a cannonball.
Tsunade followed closely behind.
With a bang!
The two Root Ninjas were knocked away at the same time and crashed into the mountain wall, forming two large pits.
Such a big movement immediately made the remaining six Root Ninjas in the camp aware of it, and five Root Ninjas appeared.
When they saw Tsunade, their pupils shrank slightly, and their hearts were shaken in an instant, but thinking of Shimura Danzo, they became firm again.
The rain curtain became turbulent, and the raindrops turned into water under the influence of chakra.
The ground was undulating, and countless ground spikes stabbed Tsunade and Might Dai like spears.
The scorching flames rushed out without warning, just like a red fire dragon.
The five Root Ninjas formed seals at the same time, and various ninjutsu flew around, and the scene was very chaotic for a while.
“Open the wound gate! Open the gate of death! Open the gate of scenery!”
Might Dai felt a strong crisis, and he used a killing move without hesitation, “Towards the peacock!”
This was the first time in his life that he had performed an S-level mission.
Especially the leader was Tsunade, one of the three ninjas of Konoha.
His youth must win!
Tsunade was about to dodge the ninjutsu of the Root Ninjas when she saw Might Dai rushing in.
In just a blink of an eye, he was in front of the five Root Ninjas.
Countless fists made the air vibrate, and the excessive speed caused the friction of the air to produce flames.
The sky full of flames illuminated the gloomy sky, as dazzling as a peacock spreading its tail.
The ninjutsu used by the Root Ninjas was beaten to pieces.
There were also screams one after another.
Blood and rain mixed together, turning the rain curtain into a bright red.
In the original work, Might Guy killed Hoshigaki Kisame’s clone with 30% of the original chakra in seconds when he used the Peacock for the first time.
As for the amount of chakra of Hoshigaki Kisame, even 30% is more than most of the jonin.
In other words, the Peacock has the power to kill jonin in seconds.
“What a great power!”
Tsunade couldn’t help but sigh.
Of the five root ninjas, one died on the spot, one was seriously injured, and the other three were also injured to varying degrees.
There are only a handful of ninjas who can cause such a record.
Tsunade knows Sarutobi Hiruzen, Konoha Sannin, Hatake Sakumo and Namikaze Minato.
But the greater the power, the greater the consumption.
Check the correct version in the 16-9 book and forum!
“No need to use the Peacock again, leave the rest to me!”
Tsunade raised her leg expressionlessly.
Painful kick!
With her as the center, the ground cracked like a spider web.
At the same time, three figures came to the camp under the cover of Chao Kongque.
“There is an enemy in the tent.”
Hanekawa pointed to the tent not far away and whispered, “I will stop him, you take the opportunity to rescue Senior Sister Xiaonan.”
“I will go with you.”
Yuhi Kurenai said hurriedly.
“Too many people is not good.”
Hanekawa patted her hand and said, “I can handle it.”
His current strength is basically equivalent to that of a jonin.
But he is not an ordinary jonin, but a jonin who has mastered many ninjutsu, and his comprehensive strength is in the upper middle level.
If he opens the body of lightning escape, he will be a jonin among jonin, an elite jonin.
Hanekawa’s biggest limitation is that his body is not fully developed and his chakra amount.
“Be careful.”
Although Yuhi Kurenai was worried, she didn’t say anything else.
Hanekawa glanced at Tsunade and Might Dai not far away.
The gate-guarding root ninja who was knocked away by them before also joined the battlefield.
Transformation technique!
Hanekawa stood up, and his body changed, becoming a Root ninja guarding the door.
He walked forward, lifted the door curtain directly, and walked into the tent.
The Root ninja was stunned when he saw it.
Magical Naraku-Ken no Jutsu!
The moment Hanekawa looked at him, he immediately clapped his hands.
The Root ninja’s face showed a little dullness.
Rasengan!
Hanekawa arrived in front of him with the instant body technique, and his right hand condensed the rotating chakra, and a ball smashed down.
The Root ninja’s clothes were instantly torn, but what was exposed was not flesh and blood, but dense parasites.
Hanekawa’s heart moved.
No wonder this Root ninja didn’t go out to fight.
In addition to guarding Konan, it was because he was a ninja of the Aburame clan, and his secret technique was too obvious.
The parasites were crushed the moment they touched the Rasengan.
However, more parasites surged out and flew towards Hanekawa.
Chidori Flow!
Hanekawa’s eyes fixed, and he retracted his hand. Chakra surged, and countless lightning spread outward.
The parasitic bugs were wrapped in lightning, and suddenly they were charred black, and fell down in large pieces.
Secret Technique: Insect Jade!
The Root Ninja had already reacted, he stepped back and raised his hands.
Countless parasitic bugs rushed out in a black mass.
They attached themselves to the lightning, and even if they died, they would bite off a piece.
In a blink of an eye, the lightning outside Hanekawa’s body dimmed a lot.
Fire Style: Great Fireball Technique!
Hanekawa opened his mouth and spit out a fireball.
The heat waves rolled, sweeping the parasites, causing them to twist violently and burn.
Secret Technique· Cocoon!
The Root Ninja immediately used chakra to create cocoons to give birth to more parasites.
Behind him, while he was overwhelmed, Yuhi Kurenai and Nohara Rin untied the tied Konan.
The Root Ninja immediately sensed something.
He looked back, then suddenly waved his hand, and the parasites flew out.
Earth escape· Earth Flow Wall!
Hanekawa would naturally not give him a chance.
A wall of earth rose up, blocking Yuhi Kurenai and Nohara Rin.
Yuhi Kurenai took out a kunai, cut open the tent, and then carried the unconscious Konan with Nohara Rin and left quickly.
“Damn it!”
The Root Ninja saw Konan being rescued, and immediately showed murderous intent on his face.
Hanekawa would naturally not let go of this momentary flaw.
He stepped forward with the instant body technique and threw a punch.
The Root Ninja subconsciously commanded the parasites to form a defensive shield in front of him.
Strange power!
Hanekawa directly penetrated the insect wall and hit his body.
Although the parasites blocked him, the huge force made the Root Ninja unable to stop and flew backwards.
He slid on the ground for several meters and stopped when he hit the mountain wall.
Dance of the Three Moons!
Hanekawa took out the Thunder and Fire Sword and rushed towards him.
The Root Ninja just struggled twice and was pierced by three Thunder and Fire Swords, and blood flowed all over the ground.
“What’s the situation?”
Hanekawa walked in front of Yuhi Kurenai and Nohara Rin.
“I have checked it once, and there is nothing serious.”
Nohara Rin put her hand on Konan’s forehead and said, “It’s just that she is unconscious due to excessive chakra consumption.”
As for Yuhi Kurenai, she was controlling the rain with chakra to form a vacuum zone.
“That’s good.”
Hanekawa breathed a sigh of relief.
He turned his head and looked at Tsunade and Might Day.
The battle has come to an end.
Although the Root ninjas were all strong, they encountered Tsunade and Might Dai.
Tsunade didn’t even unlock the Yin Seal, which means she didn’t feel any pressure at all.
As for Might Dai who opened the sixth gate, he also killed randomly.
Hanekawa retracted his gaze and walked to the Root ninja he had just killed.
He waved his hand and pried open his mouth with chakra, and sure enough, he saw the curse seal on his tongue.
This is the classic Root Tongue Trouble Root Seal.
Shimura Danzo planted a seal on all the Root members to prevent them from leaking secrets.
As long as he didn’t die, the Tongue Trouble Root Seal would not dissipate.
After waiting for a few minutes, the battle between Tsunade and Might Dai ended.
“Teacher.”
Hanekawa waved to Tsunade.
“What…”
Tsunade walked forward and was about to speak when she saw the Tongue Trouble Root Seal and couldn’t help but stand there.
“He used the secret technique of the Aburame clan.”
Hanekawa pointed to the corpse of the parasite not far away and said.
“What is this old man doing?!”
Tsunade’s face turned pale and she said angrily.
“I suspect that Shimura Danzo and Hanzo have cooperated.”
Hekawa continued.
“You seal up all their bodies.”
Tsunade took a deep breath, calmed down, and said, “I want to see how he explains it.”
“Yes.”
Hekawa took out a storage scroll.
Storage scrolls cannot store living people, but corpses don’t need to be so particular.
He collected all eight corpses.
“Wake up!”
Just then, Yuhi Kurenai’s voice sounded.
Hekawa subconsciously looked over and saw that Konan had woken up.
