MM Racing Chapter 8 Root Attack, Words Become Law
Chapter 8 Root Attack, Words Become Law
Inside the Illusionary Dojo.
The sound of the air pressure valve loosening rang out again, and the canopies of both metal cockpits slid open simultaneously.
Sasuke and Naruto practically rolled out of there.
A strong sense of dizziness assaulted their brains, making them feel like the world was spinning. But that was normal; it was a consequence of chakra depletion and mental overload.
Sasuke lay on the floor, panting heavily.
My stomach was churning, and I felt waves of nausea.
The pain from being blown away by the explosive tag in the dungeon was still lingering, and he was lamenting how getting injured in that environment could really affect him in real life. He was also convulsing all over.
Naruto is no better off than Sasuke; in fact, his situation is worse.
He forcibly activated the Nine-Tails' chakra in the dungeon.
The violent energy had almost completely consumed his brain and nerves; he lay quietly on the ground, unconsciously muttering to himself.
"Kill...kill..."
"Hey, wake up."
Roy sat behind the counter, holding a teacup in his hand; the tea was still hot.
"The dungeon is finished. You did a great job."
Sasuke struggled to prop himself up, and he could hear the noise outside.
The roar was like a mountain collapsing and the sound of stones hitting the walls echoed continuously.
"What happened outside? Did the sky fall?"
Sasuke asked, puzzled.
"It's nothing."
"The whole village witnessed what you just went through. Now everyone is furious and busy settling scores with Danzo."
Sasuke was stunned for a moment, but then a surge of joy welled up inside him; his goal had been achieved.
It really worked.
The old man's true colors have been exposed, so my brother won't have to bear the infamy anymore.
"Be careful!"
Roy suddenly spoke, and the shop's glass window shattered instantly.
A group of people dressed in black bodysuits and wearing plain white masks.
It is clearly the root.
However, there were no doors at the base; some people smashed through windows, others kicked down wooden doors, and some even broke through the ceiling to get in.
It was quite a show of force; even Danzo was putting in a lot of effort when dealing with the owner of this mysterious little shop.
They sent a full twenty people; they really think highly of this store manager.
These people did not release any murderous intent.
They were like a group of silent grim reapers, their movements perfectly synchronized.
Sasuke recognized the outfit.
Just now in the dungeon, it was these people who killed all the Uchiha, and it was they who drove him and Naruto into a desperate situation.
"The roots..."
Sasuke tried to form hand seals, but found it impossible; his chakra was already depleted.
He could only watch helplessly as the gleaming blade drew closer.
The goal is clear.
The three roots rushed towards Sasuke and Naruto.
The remaining seventeen all rushed toward Roy behind the counter.
Danzo's orders were: kill everyone and destroy the equipment.
In this cramped shop, the surprise attack by twenty elite ninjas was undoubtedly a fatal blow.
Even the most elite ninjas probably wouldn't have any chance of survival.
"Run!"
Sasuke roared and tried to lunge at Naruto, using his body to block the blade.
But it was too late.
The ninja sword was less than ten centimeters from Naruto's neck.
Naruto was still in a daze.
It’s over.
Sasuke closed his eyes in despair.
Just when things were at their most critical, the surroundings suddenly fell silent.
Sasuke was a little confused, but when he opened his eyes, he saw a scene that he would never forget.
The ninja sword that was aimed at Naruto actually stopped.
It stopped just three centimeters in front of Naruto's neck.
The Root ninja wielding the sword remained in a charging stance.
His muscles were taut, and the veins on his arms were bulging, clearly indicating that he was giving it his all.
The knife remained motionless, as if it had been nailed there by some kind of spell.
However, it's not just this one knife.
All the Root ninjas in the shop were frozen in place.
Seventeen ninja swords pierced the counter from all directions.
He stabbed Roy in the throat, heart, and wrist.
Even a knife just one centimeter from the heart becomes an insurmountable barrier.
Roy remained seated, not even putting down his teacup, looking relaxed and confident.
"How rude."
Roy sighed.
His gaze swept over the masked assassins.
"Didn't you see the sign at the entrance?"
"Violence is prohibited in this store."
The Root ninjas didn't answer because they couldn't move at all.
An invisible force has bound them.
This power is neither chakra nor illusion; it's more like a kind of rule.
This is the Illusionary Dojo, the system's territory.
Here, Roy is God.
"Since you don't understand the rules."
Roy put down his teacup.
"Then kneel down and learn the rules."
The moment the words fell.
A terrifying gravitational field descended upon these Root ninjas.
It wasn't directed at everyone; Sasuke and Naruto were unharmed.
Only the masked invaders suffered annihilation.
Twenty Root ninjas were simultaneously and forcefully pressed down by immense force.
Their legs simply couldn't support the weight, and their knees slammed heavily onto the floor.
A muffled groan was heard.
But this is just the beginning; gravity is still increasing.
Their heads were forced down until their foreheads hit the floor.
Twenty kowtows, all in perfect unison.
Blood seeped from beneath the mask, staining the floor red.
The assassins, who had been so aggressive just moments before, were now prostrate before Roy.
Sasuke was stunned, his mouth agape.
What kind of ninjutsu is this?
He said "kneel down," and then these people actually knelt down?
Moreover, it's the kind of kneeling posture that results in a comminuted fracture of the knee.
"This...this is the boss's power?"
Sasuke looked at the man sitting behind the counter, slowly adjusting his sleeves.
This man is a million times more terrifying than Danzo.
"A bunch of useless trash."
A furious curse came from outside the door.
A figure appeared instantly at the doorway.
Danzo Shimura.
He saw the scene inside the store.
He also saw his most elite men lying on the ground like dead dogs.
Danzo's heart pounded instantly, but he did not back down, nor could he.
Public opinion outside has exploded.
If we don't kill the shop owner and destroy the live-streaming equipment, he's definitely going to die today.
"Wind Release: Vacuum Wave Barrage!"
Danzo didn't waste any words.
Several visible wind blades hurtled straight at Roy behind the counter.
This was Danzo's specialty.
Enough to cut through rock and steel.
There was nowhere to hide in this cramped space.
Sasuke shouted in terror, "Watch out!"
Roy remained seated.
He looked at the incoming wind blades with a calm expression.
He raised his right hand.
It's like shooing away an annoying fly.
With a gentle wave.
The wind blades, powerful enough to cut through gold and jade, shattered directly in mid-air.
It transformed into a gentle breeze, fluttering the hem of Roy's clothes.
"What?!"
Danzo exclaimed in surprise.
Dispersing a wind-escape technique with bare hands? How is that possible!
Even the Third Hiruzen couldn't do that!
"Do you want to kneel down too?"
Roy looked at Danzo.
Danzo felt like he was being watched by an ancient behemoth.
He instinctively wanted to back away, but it was too late.
Roy pointed his finger at Danzo and made a grabbing motion in the air.
Danzo felt a tightness around his neck, as if an invisible hand was gripping his throat.
Its power is astonishing and utterly irresistible.
He was lifted up and suspended in mid-air.
"Cough...cough cough..."
Danzo gripped his own neck with both hands and struggled desperately.
He wanted to retaliate with chakra.
But to his horror, he discovered that the chakra within his body was completely out of control.
In this shop, ninjutsu and taijutsu are ineffective; only Roy's will is absolute.
"How...how dare you..."
Danzo squeezed out a few words from his throat.
"I am... Konoha's... Assistant..."
"I... am... protecting the village..."
Even at this moment, he was still putting on airs.
Roy smiled.
He stood up, walked around the counter, and stepped onto the backs of the Root ninjas.
He walked up to Danzo, who was suspended in mid-air, and looked at the arrogant old man.
"Protect the village?"
Roy shook his head.
"You're just protecting your power."
"You killed Shisui because you coveted his eyes."
"You destroyed the Uchiha clan because you were afraid they would threaten your position."
"You've come to kill me now because I've skinned you alive."
A resounding slap landed hard on Danzo's face.
Danzo was stunned.
Having lived for decades and held a high position, when have I ever been slapped in the face like this?
"This slap was for Shisui."
He slapped her again with his backhand.
Danzo's teeth flew out, mixed with blood.
"This slap was delivered on behalf of Itachi Uchiha."
The third slap.
Danzo's face swelled up on one side.
"This slap is for the innocent people you killed."
Roy stopped.
"You want to kill me?"
"You want to shut down my shop?"
Roy turned and walked back to the counter.
He picked up the teacup and poured the remaining tea on the ground.
"The customer is king."
Roy smiled as he looked at Danzo, who was suspended in mid-air at the entrance.
"But you're here to cause trouble."
"so……"
"You're trash."
The invisible hand loosened, and the gravitational field returned.
Danzo landed right at Sasuke's feet.
He lay face down, just like his men, completely immobilized.
Sasuke looked down at his enemy at his feet.
Danzo Shimura, who is invincible in the dungeon and holds the power of life and death.
Now lie down in front of him.
If he wanted, the kunai in his hand could pierce Danzo's neck at any time.
"Kill him..."
Sasuke gripped his kunai tightly.
"Don't dirty the floor."
Roy's voice came through.
"You don't need to lift a finger to kill this kind of trash."
"listen."
Roy pointed outside the door.
"The garbage collectors have arrived."
The sound of hurried footsteps came from all directions.
Densely packed, hundreds and thousands.
Those were the enraged Uchiha clan members, the awakened villagers of Konoha.
It is a true trial.
