Sign in From Naruto

"This way."

As soon as they left Ichiraku Ramen, the Root ninja at the head of the group walked straight to the front to lead the way.

Xu Fan looked at these people and realized that they had no intention of making a move here.

Although there weren't many people on the streets, this was, after all, the main street of the village.

Even Danzo was not so rampant.

If he hadn't guessed wrongly, these Root ninjas should be planning to bring him to a hidden place before making a move to settle the matter.

But Xu Fan naturally had nothing to worry about.

Even if these people were all Root ninjas and their strength was greater than the average Jonin, they should be no different compared to those elites of the Cloud Ninja.

Even those people wouldn't be able to withstand his chakra output.

Not to mention that his current self had mastered a fire release jutsu like the Great Fireball Technique.

It would be good to use these people to practice and, in the meantime, steal some more jutsu from them.

Most importantly, he could also use this opportunity to intimidate Danzo!

Thinking of this, Xu Fan's mood brightened up. While he was on guard against the Root ninjas making a sudden move, he followed them to their destination.

Xu Fan gradually realized that these Root ninjas were walking in a cross formation.

Before and behind him, on the left and right, there were at least two Root ninjas guarding him, as if they were deliberately blocking his escape route.

As time passed, they were getting farther and farther away from the center of Konoha Village, and it was starting to get darker.

What was more interesting was that Xu Fan was becoming more and more familiar with this road.

"Aren't we going to meet with Danzo?" Xu Fan said knowingly. "If we follow this road any further, we'll be arriving at the Uchiha clan's compound."

The Root ninja remained silent and just continued to march forward.

Sure enough...

Are these people planning to find a place to kill him and then frame the Uchiha clan?

In fact, today's timeline was very close to the night of the Uchiha's extermination.

Danzo and the other Konoha executives had also clashed with Sarutobi more than once on this matter.

Coupled with Danzo's philosophy, he had always disagreed with Sarutobi Hiruzen's approach to governing the village.

The more talent Xu Fan showed, the more trouble he would be once he became the next Sarutobi Hiruzen.

Therefore, it was only optimal to resolve the issue before Xu Fan could grow further.

On top of that, with Xu Fan's corpse appearing at the Uchiha compound, Danzo could also put pressure on them through this matter.

Once the Uchiha clan had any excesses, even Sarutobi Hiruzen would find it difficult to stop Danzo.

As a matter of fact, Sarutobi Hiruzen's performance had always been very indecisive when it came to handling the Uchiha clan.

Apart from saying, "I'll think of something," at the meetings of Konoha's top brass, he did nothing of substance.

In the end, Sarutobi Hiruzen had only made a compromise and allowed Danzo to carry out the purge.

So, once Xu Fan died at the hands of the Root ninjas, Sarutobi Hiruzen would likely choose to compromise again.

After all, one was a dead Xu Fan, and the other was a living Danzo.

Which was more important, Sarutobi Hiruzen still knew clearly.

Only...

Danzo clearly lacked understanding of Xu Fan's strength. A mere ten Root ninjas were no match for him.

"Alright."

Xu Fan suddenly stopped and then stretched his muscles. He no longer had the patience to continue walking.

This place was already far enough away from the village that no one would notice the situation here.

"Continue."

A Root ninja saw Xu Fan stop and immediately reached out to press his shoulder, wanting him to continue.

Seeing this, Xu Fan decisively released his chakra, aimed at this ninja, and blasted him away.

Boom!

With a loud bang, the Root ninja flew directly backward and rolled several times on the ground before he was able to stop.

"Let the game end here," Xu Fan said, looking around at everyone here and lowering his voice. "Since you're here on an assassination mission, let's go together."

No one had expected Xu Fan to react in such a manner.

Even if he was truly different, what he was facing were the ninjas of the Root Division.

Assassination missions were routine for them.

Although they didn't understand why Lord Danzo would form a team of ten to assassinate a ninja student who hadn't even graduated yet, they followed orders without question.

But in the scene just now, they didn't understand.

Xu Fan was clearly standing still. How did he blow away a Root ninja?

How did he manage to do that?

"Do it!"

The leading Root ninja was the first to react, giving orders to the others.

Even if the situation had changed a bit, it wouldn't have the slightest effect on the final result.

They would settle Xu Fan here and then frame the Uchiha clan.

This was a direct order from Lord Danzo.

To them, it was an absolute order.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh...

Xu Fan's gaze narrowed slightly as he saw these Root ninjas pull out the longswords from their backs and charge toward him violently.

Their actions were clean and sharp, without the slightest excess movement.

A bit of coldness arrived first, and the light of the sword went straight for his throat.

If it were someone else, perhaps in less than a breath, they would die under the opponent's sword.

But it's a pity that Xu Fan had...

signed in!

Boom!

A loud bang echoed through the air as Xu Fan's body burst out with chakra visible to the naked eye, wrapping around his whole body and forming a layer of chakra armor.

Clang!

The longsword directly met Xu Fan's chakra, emitting a crisp collision sound. Immediately after, cracks eroded the blade, instantly spreading to the entire sword before it fell apart.

Crack!

Seeing this, Xu Fan grabbed the throat of the Root ninja.

"Do you want to dance as well?"

Xu Fan deliberately lowered his voice and increased the strength in his hand, then kicked the ninja, sending him flying tens of meters with his chakra.

Worthy of being a classic line of Madara, it really made people feel the heat.

However, all of the Root ninjas were emotionless and nameless.

Even if Xu Fan displayed crushing strength, there was no fear in these people's hearts, much less retreat!

They quickly retreated, readjusted their formation, and then pulled out their kunai, throwing them out quickly in a feint attack.

However, just as Xu Fan was about to go on a killing spree, another handful of kunai flew out from a forest of trees to the side, and in a very bizarre manner, neutralized all of the Root ninjas' feints.

Clatter!

The kunai that flew toward Xu Fan fell to the ground one after another.

The Root ninja immediately became alert.

Xu Fan frowned and subconsciously glanced at the direction where the kunai had flown from.

In less than a breath, a black shadow sprang out of the woods and landed steadily in front of Xu Fan.

"Luckily, I caught up."

The ANBU uniform, a head of silver hair, plus this familiar voice...

It's you, Copy Ninja Kakashi!

Then, Kakashi turned back and whispered, "Don't worry, I'll protect you."

Xu Fan: "????"

Interested in investing in small partners to grasp a little tight ah, immediately to change the signing status ah! I love mud Meng!
