--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In an instant, the battle was upon them.
The leader of the Root Organization, wearing a monkey-faced mask, suddenly approached Sousuke with the intention of capturing him.
He stomped fiercely on the ground.
Dust flew everywhere!
"Bang!"
The next moment, he appeared in front of Sousuke, launching a fierce attack that poured down like a raging storm!
However, to his surprise, Sousuke was able to resist the relentless assault with ease.
Under the barrage of his punches, Sousuke had a slight smile on his lips, his figure constantly shifting and counterattacking.
On the side, the other three members of the Root Organization watched this scene, their eyes wide open in disbelief!
"How... How is this possible!? This brat... can actually fight on par with the 'Ape'!!"
In their astonished gazes!
The two of them engaged in a bare-handed battle, attacking and evading each other!
"Splut!"
The leader with the monkey-faced mask executed a palm strike that cut through the air like a flash of light, aiming fiercely at Sousuke!
Little did he know that Sousuke seemed to possess foresight!
Calm and composed, he effortlessly avoided this powerful and heavy strike!
Their movements were dazzling, making it almost impossible to discern their punches and kicks, only catching glimpses of their figures.
"Snap!"
The ground shook!
After their arms collided once again, they both jumped back, maintaining a certain distance.
They stood in place, staring intently at each other!
At this moment, Sousuke was slightly panting, clearly struggling in the battle against the leader with the monkey-faced mask!
After all, he was still a child of only eight years old, his body yet to fully mature.
However, even so, a smile of excitement remained on his lips.
Stronger than a chuunin, possessing the strength of an elite chuunin? Not bad for a testing opponent.
Meanwhile, the leader with the monkey-faced mask across from him had no idea of Sousuke's thoughts. If he knew that Sousuke merely considered him a tool to gauge his own strength, he would be even more astonished!!
But even so, he was already looking at Sousuke in shock.
To think that he could match me in taijutsu! Truly worthy of Lord Danzo's attention!
"Brat!? Truly worthy of Lord Danzo's attention!? Heh heh, however, do you really think this exceptional taijutsu is the extent of your arrogant reliance!? Then, today, I will show you how a ninja should truly perform! Knowing only some taijutsu is far from enough!!"
The leader with the monkey-faced mask looked at Sousuke, and even beneath his mask, his expression was filled with surprise. Though he was reluctant to believe it, he truly couldn't outmatch this eight-year-old boy in taijutsu!
So he declared loudly.
Although this Sousuke possesses formidable taijutsu, the intelligence reports didn't mention anything about his proficiency and talent in ninjutsu. That is this brat's weakness!
With that in mind, the leader with the monkey-faced mask didn't hesitate. He stood in place, his hands rapidly changing gestures, instantly completing hand seals!
"Earth Release: Earth Prison Dome!"
Under Sousuke's feet, the soil seemed to come to life, suddenly entangling his feet!
The earth on the ground surged and formed a gigantic prison dome several zhang tall, engulfing Sousuke!
Watching as Sousuke was nearly completely covered by the Earth Prison Dome, the leader with the monkey-faced mask seemed to relax, gradually easing his body as he spoke.
"Indeed, he is just a little brat with slightly stronger physical skills. But considering his age, he truly deserves the title of a genius. Come back with us honestly! Lord Danzo is still waiting."
The other three members of Team Root also approached at this time.
"It's impressive that this brat can hold his ground against you in physical combat, 'Ape'."
"Let's go. The mission is complete. Try not to be noticed by the villagers."
"Yes, let's go quickly. It's not good if we attract the attention of the ANBU."
Just then!
A cold laughter came from the massive earthen cage in the distance, tens of feet high.
"You're saying the mission is complete now? Don't you think it's too early!?"
Suddenly, a chilly and indifferent voice from Sousuke resounded! It sent a shiver down the spines of the four members of Team Root!
What!? This brat didn't faint!?
In the pitch-black darkness, Sousuke lowered his head, slightly raised his hand, and blue radiance flickered on his fingertips. It reflected on his lenses, creating a vast blue expanse that concealed his true intentions.
Suddenly, a smile curled upon his lips, and he whispered softly.
"Bakudō Fourth Form:Kekkai!"
The blue radiance on his fingertips suddenly became brilliant and dazzling!
"Splurt!"
A burst of thunderous lightning burst out of the earthen cage, formed from mud, with incredible speed!
It left behind a straight blue glow in the air, accompanied by a dazzling light!
In the face of such a sudden attack, the leader of the monkey-faced mask had no time to dodge. He could only watch as the brilliant lightning pierced through his shoulder blade!
"Be careful!"
"Dodge, 'Ape'!"
As blood sprayed, the voices of the other three people finally reached them.
They hurriedly stopped the bleeding for the leader of the monkey-faced mask, all greatly astonished!
What on earth was that!? Ninjutsu!!? Such powerful ninjutsu!! Could it be the work of that brat?
At this moment, they stared at the distant earthen prison with disbelief and vigilant expressions.
"Crack" "Crack"
Under the power of the lightning, the earthen prison sustained by chakra crumbled.
Amidst the swirling smoke, the figure of Sousuke was revealed.
The young man stood straight, dressed in a white, loose-fitting robe. He lightly pointed his index finger forward with his right hand, maintaining the previous posture.
"Sorry, it seems... I missed the mark."
Sousuke smiled lightly at the four of them, looking harmless.
Upon hearing Sousuke's words, except for the leader of the monkey-faced mask, the other three people looked at him with seriousness.
The formidable ninjutsu he just displayed proved that Sousuke was definitely not an ordinary ninja youth!
The three members of Team Root no longer hesitated!
They all wanted to capture Sousuke as quickly as possible, so they all stepped forward.
One person stood in place, staring earnestly at Sousuke, continuously forming hand seals!
"Illusion Technique: Narakumi no Jutsu!"
After a moment, he shouted loudly.
As his voice fell, Sousuke, who had been caught in the genjutsu, suddenly stood motionless in place, his gaze dull, as if ready to be slaughtered.
At this moment, the other two Root ninjas had also approached him!
One of them viciously launched a spinning kick toward Souskuke!
While the other ran and formed hand seals.
"Earth Style: Swamp of the Underworld!"
This was a coordinated move frequently used by the three members of Team Root!
Just as the spinning kick was about to hit Sousuke. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com
Sousuke's previously dull expression suddenly changed, and he coldly muttered.
"So, this is an illusion... technique?"
Although he muttered to himself, his hands were not idle. His arm swiftly moved, quickly blocking in front of his right side.
"Bakudō Eighth Form: Seki!"
A chakra shield suddenly appeared on the outer side of his arm. The Root member, using all his strength, kicked onto it, causing almost no damage to Sousuke.
"What!?" This situation greatly astonished the Root ninja!
Then, Sousuke ignored him, and immediately after, he lowered his head, his lenses flashing with a cold light, constantly whispering.
"Bakudō Fourth Form: Hainawa!"
"Bakudō Fourth Form: Kekkai!"
"Bakudō Ninth Form: Geki!"
The Root ninja who had released the Earth Style ninjutsu was hit by the lightning emitted from Sousuke's fingertips!
The ninja who had kicked towards Sousuke was quickly entangled by Sousuke's Bakudō . A chakra rope swiftly bound him, rendering him unable to move!
"Ah! What is this?"
The one who had been using the illusion technique was also bound by the Bakudō 's grey rope, unable to resist!
In an instant, all four elite chuunin of Team Root were defeated by Sousuke!!
Even after releasing so many Kidō, despite undergoing training for so many days!
Sousuke had almost exhausted the limited amount of chakra in his body, and his forehead was covered in sweat.
Somewhat weakened, he looked at the defeated members of Team Root with a satisfied smile on his face.
The power of Kidō is quite impressive...
