Chapter 100: Hiruzen Sarutobi's rebuke, the butterfly shuriken is unleashed! A hidden weapon ev
Chapter 100: Hiruzen Sarutobi's rebuke, the butterfly shuriken is unleashed! A hidden weapon even more insidious than a kunai or shuriken.
"What...what is this?"
The Root ninja's face immediately turned terrified, his eyes filled with disbelief.
He felt as if an invisible force was frantically draining the chakra from his body, causing most of it to disappear instantly.
The feeling of being completely drained made him involuntarily let out a piercing scream.
Seeing this, the other Root ninja became even more terrified and quickly turned to run away.
However, Hiashi Hyuga did not give him any chance.
"Whoosh!"
Her other hand shot out with lightning speed, accurately grabbing his shoulder and pulling him back without hesitation.
"Your roots are getting more and more outrageous!"
Hiashi Hyuga's killing intent intensified, and the chakra in his hands erupted with an even stronger suction force, instantly absorbing all the chakra from the ninja's body.
Driven by the Northern Darkness Divine Art, his palm was like a bottomless pit, constantly devouring the chakra within the two Root ninjas.
The two Root ninjas were pale, their legs were weak, and they could barely stand.
They had never experienced anything so terrible; their power was being constantly drained from their bodies, as if their very souls were being taken away by Hyuga Hiashi.
"What kind of technique is this? How could the Hyuga clan possibly possess such an ability?"
A ninja's voice trembled, his eyes filled with fear and despair.
The feeling of his chakra being constantly drained made him feel as if he were in hell, and he completely lost the ability to resist.
"Methods of this caliber"
The other ninja was also filled with terror. His eyes were wide open, and he couldn't understand what was happening in front of him at all.
As Root ninjas, they had undergone the most rigorous training and missions, but had never encountered such a bizarre and terrifying situation.
Hiashi Hyuga coldly stared at the two Root ninjas who were almost completely drained, without a trace of pity in his eyes.
His heart was filled with rage. If he hadn't arrived in time, the fireworks might have already fallen into the hands of these people.
Thinking of this, he suddenly increased the force in his hands, and the two ninjas instantly seemed to lose all support and collapsed to the ground.
"Anyone who dares to harm a member of my Hyuga clan will pay the price!"
Hiashi Hyuga's voice was cold and icy, as if devoid of any emotion.
"Take him away, let's go back first."
After giving instructions to the Hyuga clan's secret guards, Hyuga Hiashi composed himself and looked at Hanabi, saying softly, "Don't come out for the next two days. Stay home and train. The explosion at the Root base last night will surely make Danzo, that mad dog, fixated on my Hyuga clan. He might even dare to attack you."
"Uh-huh."
Upon hearing Hiashi Hyuga's words, Hanabi nodded obediently.
Today I even exposed my Sharingan, but thankfully I took care of one of the guys.
But they weren't so lucky the next time.
For a moment, Hanabi was indignant.
Once I find something good, I'll bombard that bastard Danzo as soon as possible!
"As expected of the Northern Darkness Divine Art."
As Hiashi led Hanabi back to the Hyuga clan, he felt his emotions surging as he sensed the expanding chakra vortex within his body.
This technique is incredibly powerful.
In just a few days, he increased the amount of chakra in his body several times over.
Although I need to go back and digest it, this kind of accelerated learning method is truly insane.
If other people found out, they'd probably go crazy.
Thinking this, the Hyuga clan's guards quickly cleaned up the scene and left.
And at this very moment.
the other side.
In the third base of the root.
Danzo waited for news.
As Danzo watched the sun rise higher and sparse sunlight shone on the distant entrance, he couldn't help but squint.
As originally planned, we've exceeded the time limit.
"Tap tap tap!"
At that moment, a series of footsteps quickly rang out.
A Root ninja quickly entered and respectfully said, "Lord Danzo, we couldn't find Yuryu and the others. We didn't even see them at the meeting place. It seems they've disappeared."
"What?!"
Upon hearing this, Danzo's expression changed drastically: "Disappeared?"
What a joke.
How could someone who captured the second daughter of the Hyuga clan's main family disappear?
Even if the plan fails and he is no match for his opponent, it is within his expectations.
Based on the level of protection the Hyuga clan provided for Hyuga Hanabi, he believed that at least two Jonin-level powerhouses were protecting her.
But he didn't care; what he cared about was giving the Hyuga clan a severe lesson.
It doesn't matter if the plan ultimately fails or the arrest fails; we can simply retreat.
There are even people specifically assigned to provide backup. If you can't beat them, can't you at least run away?
Now, the person has disappeared?
Danzo's face was extremely grim, and he gritted his teeth: "Are you sure they haven't come out?"
"No, they didn't enter the Hyuga clan's territory either, but it's as if they've disappeared."
The Root ninja whispered, "We went to the place they mentioned and sensed some residual chakra fluctuations there. Although the scene had been cleaned up, there were definitely signs of a battle. It's probably no surprise."
"That old bastard, Hiashi Hyuga."
Upon hearing this, Danzo knew perfectly well that the men he had sent had been killed.
Thinking that Root had lost three more capable members, Danzo's face turned as black as the bottom of a pot: "Help this old man go find Sarutobi."
"Let's see what Sarutobi has to say this time!"
There are already more than three Root ninjas.
Including those that went missing before, there are already five or six!
They're all related to the Hyuga clan. What does the Hyuga clan want to do?
Soon, with the support of the Root ninjas, Danzo arrived at the Hokage's office.
Upon seeing Danzo arrive, Hiruzen Sarutobi, who was sitting and talking to Kakashi in front of him, twitched his lips slightly.
Why is this guy here again?
Even in this state, they still can't settle down.
When Kakashi saw Danzo arrive, he nodded to Hiruzen Sarutobi and said, "I'll go and lead the team to the client now."
With that, Kakashi vanished in an instant.
"Sarutobi".
As Kakashi left, before Hiruzen Sarutobi could even ask a question, Danzo spoke with a grim expression: "My Root ninjas have lost three more."
"What happened?"
Upon hearing this, Hiruzen Sarutobi's expression changed slightly, and he sat up straight.
Three more Root ninjas have been lost?
This is no small matter.
"They are from the Hyuga clan."
Danzo, with a concealed expression, recounted the matter.
"Bang!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Hiruzen Sarutobi slammed his fist on the table, furious: "Danzo, do you know what you're doing? Don't you know how important Hanabi is to the Hyuga clan? What are you thinking?"
The Hyuga clan treasures Hanabi Hyuga terribly.
Now at the age of seven, he does not attend the ninja academy, but instead trains with Hyuga Hiashi.
He also considered transferring Hyuga Hanabi to the Ninja Academy and assigning her to the team in Konoha Village.
Danzo's actions completely disrupted his plans.
He didn't believe that after such a thing happened, Hiashi Hyuga would still send Hanabi to the Ninja Academy.
"That was because the Hyuga clan provoked me first."
Danzo gritted his teeth and said, "My Root base has been mostly destroyed, and at this time, ninjas are still disappearing from the Hyuga clan's territory. Shouldn't we ask them what the Hyuga clan is trying to do?"
"If the Hyuga clan has a clear conscience, how could they do such a thing?"
"If he dares to target my core this time, he'll dare to target your secret forces next time."
Upon hearing Danzo's words, Hiruzen Sarutobi was speechless once again.
If Danzo hadn't openly and legitimately supervised them at their doorstep, the Hyuga clan would have been enraged.
However, thinking of what Danzo said, that the Hyuga clan had already made several moves, Hiruzen Sarutobi frowned slightly.
This is indeed a problem.
If they dared to attack Danzo's Root ninjas this time, then next time...
"Withdraw the surveillance ninjas around the Hyuga clan's territory."
Hiruzen Sarutobi paused for a moment, then spoke directly: "Both the Chunin Exams and your current Root base require the Hyuga clan's manpower. You can't continue like this!"
"We should start monitoring them now!"
Danzo gritted his teeth: "If we retreat now, what about my losses?"
Hiruzen Sarutobi: "."
Hiruzen Sarutobi was speechless.
If Danzo hadn't gone to the outskirts of other people's family territories to keep watch, would there have been any losses?
That's all for now.
Hiruzen Sarutobi calmly said, "The Root's base was definitely not built by the Hyuga clan. I assure you of that."
Upon hearing Hiruzen Sarutobi's words, Danzo's expression darkened.
He knew that Hiruzen Sarutobi was informing him of this.
Danzo then left in a huff.
"This is really a headache."
Hiruzen Sarutobi looked at Danzo as he was being sent away, his face full of headache.
Not only do we need to appease Danzo, but we also need to appease the Hyuga clan.
After all, Hanabi is the second young lady of the Hyuga clan.
This time, Danzo's mobilization of Root ninjas in the village to abduct the second daughter of the Hyuga clan has disrupted a certain balance.
If this balance is broken, then there will be trouble.
"You bastard!"
Hiruzen Sarutobi gritted his teeth, wishing he could slap Danzo to death.
More trouble than good!
After calming himself down, Hiruzen Sarutobi turned his gaze to the crystal ball in front of him and immediately used his telescope technique.
After it was used, the scene at the entrance of Konoha Village immediately appeared.
It was none other than Naruto Uzumaki, Uchiha, Sasuke, and Sakura.
"We can't wait any longer."
Looking at the three of them, Hiruzen Sarutobi murmured something.
The Jinchūriki needs to grow stronger as soon as possible.
These successive events gave Hiruzen Sarutobi a strange sense of urgency.
Konoha Village is currently experiencing a period of prosperity.
However, there weren't enough resources for the various families to divide among themselves.
Konoha is severely lacking in combat power.
He is constantly mobilizing the Jonin of Konoha to teach this year's Ninja Academy graduates, all in order to help them grow up as quickly as possible.
Otherwise, in the past, he would usually have the Chunin instructor lead the team.
There are too few Jonin in Konoha.
That's what Hiruzen Sarutobi was thinking.
The entrance to Konoha Village.
Sakura Haruno looked at Kakashi with a troubled expression: "Sensei, are we going on a mission already?"
Although she was getting tired of the ninjutsu used to catch kittens, she felt a strange sense of security in the ninja village.
She was suddenly notified last night that she needed to pack up and had to go to the village for a task today, which made her very upset.
How could this happen?
That's way too fast.
"Hahaha, this is truly a stroke of luck!"
Naruto Uzumaki, hands on his hips, laughed smugly, "I've been waiting for this day for ages!"
He was still thinking about how to speed up the mission, but he didn't expect that Kakashi would get them to complete the village mission so quickly!
"Could it be related to last night's explosion?"
Uchiha Sasuke, meanwhile, frowned slightly as he thought about what had happened the previous night.
He always felt that the Jonin who was leading them had suddenly changed the rhythm.
"By the way, are you guys really reliable?"
At that moment, Tazuna approached, looking at Naruto and his two companions with a suspicious expression: "Are you really the ninjas assigned by the Third Hokage to protect me?"
As he spoke, Tazner took out a commission form and looked at it.
One Jonin leading the team, and three Genin.
Being a Jonin is no problem, but this is a Genin.
Tazuna frowned as he looked at Naruto, that short, stocky guy.
He had been waiting in Konoha Village for several days.
The original appointment with the Third Hokage was for half a month later, but it was brought forward, which made him very happy.
But now, seeing the ninja accepting the mission, he suddenly wasn't so happy.
Isn't this just a child?
"As expected, everything was arranged."
Seeing Tazuna appear, Naruto Uzumaki, who was feeling smug, was speechless.
They've already sent out the mission ahead of schedule, so why is it still this guy?
This means that encountering Fog Shadow next is a certainty.
His current strength is not that great.
"Little Charmander, you have to protect me!"
Naruto Uzumaki subconsciously patted Charmander's head and muttered, "If this trip goes smoothly, I'll treat you to a big meal!"
Once we reach the Land of Waves and deal with that Gato, we won't have to worry about money for opening cans!
"Aww!"
Upon hearing Naruto's words, Charmander immediately looked up. "A big meal?"
"Naruto, what are you muttering about?"
Sakura Haruno, who was negotiating with Tazuna, turned around and glanced at Naruto Uzumaki with a suspicious look.
How can I smoothly enjoy a big meal?
"Hehe, I'll treat Charmander to a big meal when I get back from the mission."
Naruto Uzumaki chuckled.
"Ugh."
Hearing Naruto's words, Sakura Haruno looked at the little fire dragon next to Lin Mo with some envy.
How come this adorable summoning beast is Naruto's?
"Alright, it's time to go."
Kakashi then spoke, gesturing for everyone to leave the village.
"Kakashi-sensei, how long will it take us to travel back and forth for this mission at the fastest possible time?"
Naruto looked at Kakashi with curiosity and asked, "Can you come back in a week?"
It's been ten days already!!!
If I don't come back soon, I'll miss the jar again!
"If the mission goes smoothly, a week should be enough to get back. The Land of Waves isn't far, and we can travel faster than ordinary people."
Hearing Naruto's words, Kakashi turned around in surprise: "What? Weren't you eager to leave the village for the mission? Why are you back now?"
Yesterday and the day before, Naruto Uzumaki really wanted to leave the village during the missions.
As soon as he accepted the mission, Naruto wanted to come back?
Kakashi truly couldn't understand Naruto's personality.
"Phew, that's good."
Upon hearing this, Naruto Uzumaki breathed a sigh of relief.
A week is acceptable to me.
All things considered, I have four days left this week.
Then it's another seven days next week, which means I only need to come back within ten days.
If you return to the village eleven days in advance, you can open ten jars directly!
Thinking of this, Naruto's breathing quickened.
This time when we leave the village, we must make money!
I don't think I made a mistake in my calculations, right?
That's what Naruto Uzumaki was thinking.
In the jar shop.
Lin Mo, who had just opened the door, also saw Tian Tian's father and mother who had already arrived.
Lin Mo was slightly surprised to see the two of them.
He thought Tian Tian's parents would come to open the jar yesterday, but it turned out to be today.
"Shopkeeper, we're here to open the jar."
When Tian Tian's father saw Lin Mo, who had already opened the door, he smiled apologetically and said, "I was originally planning to come yesterday, but something came up, so I could only come today."
There's no need to be embarrassed.
Hearing what Tian Tian's father said, Lin Mo shook his head and said, "If you don't time it right when you open the can, it means you'll be one day late next week, and the same applies to next week."
"Ugh."
Upon hearing Lin Mo's words, Tian Tian's father sighed.
Who said no.
He also knew the importance of opening the jar.
But I couldn't get away yesterday at all.
Thinking this, Old Man Tian handed Lin Mo the money he had prepared: "This is for opening the can."
"what?"
As they were talking, Tian Tian's father suddenly noticed the exquisite jar and exclaimed in astonishment, "Shopkeeper, why is that jar so special?"
"To open a fine jar, you need to open a certain number of regular jars first."
Lin Mo casually said, "No one can open it right now, so don't worry about it."
"I see."
Upon hearing Lin Mo's words, Tian Tian's father suddenly realized what was happening.
They then began selecting jars.
Soon, he picked out ten jars.
Looking at the ten jars in front of him, Dad took a deep breath and decisively knocked open the first one.
"Bang!"
The first jar broke, and a dart fell down.
"This dart."
Looking at the shape of the dart, Tian Tian's father was stunned.
Can darts be made like this?
The butterfly dart, forged by a blacksmith, features a hook at the end. Instead of being thrown, it spins between the fingers and flies out. Two darts are linked by the hook, energizing each other like a pair of swift butterflies. Because of its hook, the butterfly dart can be deflected by other darts or any suspended object, making its attack unpredictable and ideal for complex spaces.
Looking at the description of this thing, Lin Mo raised an eyebrow.
I do remember this hidden weapon.
"Hidden weapon: butterfly dart"
Immediately, Lin Mo spoke up and briefly explained the dart, which made Tian Tian's father's eyes widen.
There are such hidden weapons?
That's incredibly insidious.
"These darts are also suitable for applying poison, making them even more convenient when combined with something extremely bitter."
Lin Mo continued speaking, and Tian Tian's father nodded in deep agreement.
As someone whose family owns a ninja tool shop, I also forge ninja tools myself.
The appearance of this thing makes it a smaller and more useful concealed weapon compared to kunai and shuriken.
Most importantly, if this were made, it would definitely be welcomed by ninjas!
Nowadays, ninjas only use kunai and shuriken, which is too monotonous.
The update schedule has been completely messed up. I need to fix it as soon as possible. Sorry for the late updates these past two days. I'll get back to it as soon as possible.
