Chapter 166: Chapter 59: Senior!!!
Konoha, the edge of the Uchiha clan.
Countless shuriken swarmed, immediately submerging the monkey-faced ninja.
The crisis was temporarily resolved, but before Uchiha Nian could take a breath, two sharp whistling sounds came from behind.
Two Root ninjas moved at the same time, swinging their blades at his back.
Nian turned around suddenly, and foot-long wooden thorns emerged from the palms of his hands, meeting the attack.
"Bang bang!"
The blades cut into the wooden thorns, making a solid collision sound, but the wooden thorns not only did not break, but grew against the wind, like two spears, piercing through the shoulders of the two men.
"Wood Release: Piercing Technique!"
Nian twisted his wrist slightly, and the wooden thorns grew crazily inside the two men, countless dense and tough branches piercing into their flesh and finally bursting out!
One of them was pierced through the five internal organs on the spot, but the second was obviously more decisive and ruthless. The moment the wooden thorns entered his body, he cut off his arm with a knife, escaping the disaster.
Four Root ninjas crossed each other and rushed up, with cold light flashing on their weapons under the moonlight. There were finger blades, shield blades, chains, strangely shaped iron hooks, and the shapes were strange, with some that Nian couldn't even name.
He gritted his teeth, forced himself to suppress his physical and mental fatigue, and braced himself to meet the enemy.
He was not very good at Taijutsu, and close combat had always been a weakness, so when he fell into the enemy's line, he immediately fell into a disadvantageous situation.
In comparison, although the weapons of these Root ninjas were different in shape, everyone could wield them with vigor. There was a tacit understanding between each other, and they were obviously good at close combat.
Shield blades were pressed forward, iron hooks tripped legs, chains restricted his wood escape, and a fast finger blade got close. Nian only persisted for a few rounds before falling back.
In desperation, he could only burst out chakra and release a wide range of wooden thorns to force the enemy to retreat, while also giving himself a chance to breathe.
While retreating, Nian's feet suddenly stagnated, and his whole body seemed to be stuck in the mud.
To his horror, his hands didn't obey him and were automatically clasped together, making stiff movements.
He tried to turn his eyes and found that he had stepped into a shadow.
A Root ninja had his hands tightly clasped, making the same movements as him. "Shadow Imitation Technique!"
"Damn it." He struggled desperately, and every muscle in his body was trembling from the force, but even if he tried his best, he couldn't move, and countless hand seals were reflected in a pair of Sharingan.
"Fire Release: Great Flame Technique!"
"Lightning Release: Thunderclap!"
"Water Release: Water Wave!"
"Wind Release: Wind Cutter Technique!"
"Earth Release: Rock Pillar Spears!"
…
The earth spears broke through the air, the flames advanced in the storm, and the lightning crackled in the water. The overwhelming attacks completely enveloped Nian, he was desperate, and could only watch the Root ninjas focus their fire on him.
Everything… will it end like this…
Just then, the wind whistled in his ears, and a figure appeared out of thin air in front of him, like a stream of wind from the Ninth Heaven.
Black hair was scattered, clothes fluttered, and a handsome back covered the moonlight. Only the Uchiha fan crest on his back was clearly reflected in his eyes.
"Senior!!!"
"Mm."
Kamihane smiled leisurely, and the intense light illuminated his dark eyes. Facing the attacks, he slowly raised his right hand.
In the next moment, in Uchiha Nian's shocked eyes, lightning flashed and died, flames wailed, the invisible wind silently broke, water and earth surged and dissipated, and even the shadow that bound him was included. All the ninjutsu gathered into Kamihane's palm like a river flowing into the sea, the light shrinking, as if there was a small black hole.
Not only Nian, but all the Root ninjas were dumbfounded, and they were intimidated by the mysterious man's aura and didn't dare to speak.
"If you don't want to die, follow me."
Kamihane placed his hand on Nian's shoulder without a sound. Nian immediately twisted his head. The space around him twisted, and a black vortex opened silently.
A look of surprise appeared in his eyes, and he followed Kamihane into the vortex without hesitation, his body swallowed and disappeared.
It wasn't until their aura completely disappeared that everyone woke up, and they were sweating, feeling waves of fear in their hearts.
…
"Crack!"
In the Hokage Building, behind the desk, the cup in Sarutobi Hiruzen's hand suddenly shattered.
"What did you say!" Hiruzen stared at Danzo, completely ignoring the blood seeping from his palm, his eyes solemn. "Uchiha Nian… was taken away by Uchiha Kamihane!?"
Danzō nodded lightly.
Hiruzen couldn't stand his detached appearance and felt uncontrollable anger. "You disobeyed my orders and used Root to attack Uchiha Nian without authorization, which is why this has happened!"
"What's the use of saying this now? Uchiha Nian is already a rogue ninja. The urgent matter is to think about how to deal with it." There was no shame on Danzo's face, but he was quite indifferent.
"How to deal with it? How can we deal with it?" Hiruzen slammed the table. "I said long ago that Uchiha Nian doesn't know about his father. If we want him to contribute to Konoha, we can't be impatient. We can only take it step by step. You're so impulsive, that you prove that we have something to hide!"
"Shouldn't there be something to hide?" Danzō snorted and crossed his arms, "Back then, everyone had a part in what happened to Uchiha Kagami. Since you were chosen to be the Hokage in the end, then take responsibility!"
As he said that, his eyes narrowed slightly, "If you really don't have the ability to solve the problem, it wouldn't be bad for me to take the position of Hokage."
"My teacher once taught me a sentence." Hiruzen raised his eyes, his voice filled with coldness. "If you can't solve the problem, then solve the person who created the problem!"
"Spare me, I didn't create this problem, and my orders are not wrong!"
Danzō smiled contemptuously. "Do you really think Uchiha Nian doesn't know his background? From the moment Tsunade saw him, the nature of this matter has already changed, and it's all because you didn't have the heart to stop her!"
He pointed at Hiruzen's chest. "It was your incompetence that caused today's consequences. Not only are you not grateful that I took the blame for you, but you're blaming me instead? Hiruzen, put away that hypocritical look! Back then, I stood up and stopped those Uchiha guys from becoming Hokage, and now, it's your turn to stand up!"
Hiruzen was silent and slowly sat back in his chair, lighting his pipe.
A wisp of smoke rose up, and his voice became much hoarser. "We still don't know where Kagami is. Uchiha Kamihane took him away, and now he's taken his son. No one can guess his intentions."
"I said it long ago, Kagami must be dead."
Danzō said firmly, "Based on Uchiha Kamihane's hatred for him, he can't survive…"
"Most importantly, we don't know what Kamihane thinks of our Konoha." Hiruzen frowned.
"Don't worry." Danzō pondered, "All of his hatred is only aimed at the opponents from the Warring States period, the Senju, and you Sarutobi. There is no direct conflict of interest with Konoha. As long as we don't provoke him, he has no reason to attack Konoha."
Hiruzen thought for a moment and finally ordered:
"Strengthen the barrier around the village, let the Konoha Security Force cooperate with the patrol, and strictly guard against anything. Report any abnormalities immediately!"
