As Whitebeard's words fell, more than a dozen figures appeared from all directions: front, back, left, and right.
Each person is wearing a mask, although they are slightly different from the masks worn by the anbu.
Some stood on the buildings, while others squatted on electric poles.
Hidden behind their masks, their eyes were fixed on Whitebeard, and there was no emotion in their eyes.
The air was filled with a chilling atmosphere!
Kakashi, who had been assigned to monitor Naruto by the Third Hokage, knew that Whitebeard had discovered him a long time ago. But he never showed up and hid beside Naruto.
But at this moment, he had no choice but to reveal himself again.
Kakashi was currently standing on the balcony of Naruto's residence.
He first looked back at Naruto, who was fast asleep.
Then he glanced at the Root ninjas.
"An unwelcome visitor," Kakashi muttered to himself. "But it seems they're not after Naruto. They're targeting Whitebeard. What the hell is this Shimura Danzo guy up to?
Kakashi had no favorable opinion of Danzo, or rather, the normal ninja of Konoha had no high opinion of Danzo.
Everyone had heard rumors about some of the things "Root" had done.
"Hatake Kakashi," suddenly, a voice came from not far away, and the one who speak was one of the Root ninjas. "This is the order of Danzo-sama. If you interfere, we'll consider you an enemy."
Kakashi's expression turned cold, and he replied dispassionately, "Can I take what you said as a threat to me?"
"It's up to you."
The response from the Root ninja was exceptionally indifferent.
They seemed devoid of emotion.
They are more like machines.
"Gurararara!, Brat, so you're not with them, huh? But they seem to know you. What a mess this Konoha village is,"
Whitebeard said, surrounded by a dozen Root ninjas. Even an elite jounin needed to be extremely vigilant in such a situation to avoid becoming dead meat.
But Whitebeard showed no sign of vigilance.
He was not the least bit serious.
Whitebeard looked around, his smile growing wider. "Gurararararara, Just a dozen of you? Not even enough to warm me up!"
"Arrogant," said the leader among the Root ninja.
His tone was cold. "Danzo-sama has ordered us not to let the Jinchuriki fall into the hands of foreign villages. Any unstable factors must be eliminated... Kill him!"
In an instant!
Sharp sounds of projectiles cutting through the air came from the night, and countless shuriken were difficult to follow in the dark.
Some of the Root ninjas took the opportunity to form hand seals rapidly.
"Earth Release: Small Yellow Spring Swamp!"
In the blink of an eye, the ground beneath Whitebeard's feet turned into a muddy swamp, and his massive body slowly sank.
His movement seemed constrained.
Countless shuriken were already coming into him.
But Whitebeard stood firm!
Clang, clang, clang, clang...
The continuous collision sounds echoed and sparks splintered off his body. Every shuriken thrown at him was deflected by his skin!
"Gurararara!" Marine cannons couldn't leave a mark on me, and these little darts thrown by hand are too weak."
Whitebeard laughed heartily. To the astonishment of the Root ninja, he lifted his foot and effortlessly broke free from the swamp.
"Ninjas are quite interesting. Not only can they breathe fire and spit water, but they can also control the earth, huh?" Whitebeard swung his sword mightily.
Buzz...
The air in front of him became intensely turbulent under the force of that single strike, and the terrifying pressure made the nearest Root ninja's face pale. That blow was exceptionally fierce!
"Earth Release: Earth Wall!"
A thick earthen wall shot up from the ground, and the pressure from Whitebeard's strike fell onto the wall, shattering it!
The Root ninja hiding behind the wall were also sent flying by that force.
Suddenly
Whitebeard reached behind his neck in a mosquito-catching posture and caught a Root ninja who was trying to ambush him. The terrifying grip made the ninja wince in pain, causing even his ninja blade to fall to the ground.
"Kid, I don't want to have any scars on my back!"
*Crack!*
The sound of bones shattering made others shudder.
As Whitebeard loosened his grip, the Root ninja fell apart like soft mud and rotten meat. This was the first person Whitebeard had killed since his arrival in the ninja world.
As for the psychological pressure of taking a life?
There was none.
Did the mighty Yonko never kill someone before?
Don't joke around!
"Damn it..." The expressions under the masks of the Root ninja finally showed some signs of disturbance, and it was an ugly sight.
After a few jumps, they stood together in unison.
"Fire Release: Flame Meteor!" !
The first few Root ninjas at the front simultaneously unleashed Fire Release jutsu, and torrents of flames gathered together, reaching the level of an A-rank jutsu. The flames even began to spread and consume some of the nearby civilian buildings.
"Wind Release - Great Breakthrough! !"
The Root ninja standing at the back didn't hesitate and added a few Wind Release ninjutsu. The roaring flames became even more formidable, and it had already started affecting some residential buildings in the vicinity.
Some of the sleeping civilians in Konoha were puzzled by the sudden commotion outside.
When they opened their eyes,
they were horrified.
- It's on fire! ! !
- A big fire! ! !
"Are these people insane?" Kakashi's expression changed abruptly. He knew that if he didn't act now, the torrent of flames would reach Naruto's location. Were these Root members out of their minds?
Kakashi quickly formed hand seals, "Water..."
But he only managed to form one seal before his movements froze.
Because he witnessed an unforgettable scene unfold right before his eyes.
In front of him.
"Masked kids, you've gone too far," Whitebeard's eyes flashed with murderous intent. As the world's recognized strongest man of the sea, he didn't care about these attacks directed at him. After all, he wanted to see what level these jutsu from the shinobi world were at. Could they break through his physical defenses?
"But if the attack might endanger Naruto, Whitebeard would never forgive them.
He...
During the Summit War, he had already lost many family members.
Now, in this ninja world.
He couldn't afford to lose another family member!
Facing the surging flames, Whitebeard's right fist unleashed a pulsating shockwave.
The explosive intent was like a tsunami!
It makes people look like they are floating in the sea!
Whitebeard lightly clenched his fist!
And boom!
The power of the Quake-Quake Fruit was displayed in the ninja world for the first time. White atmospheric cracks radiated outward from the center of Whitebeard's right fist, enveloping a large area in an instant.
Crack! Like the sound of shattering glass, the raging winds and flames suddenly came to a halt. The movements of the dozen Root ninjas froze.
In the next moment!
The surroundings shook intensely!
The strong vibration tore the earth apart, and cracks appeared on the walls of houses.
The entire Konoha Village trembled noticeably!
The combination of Fire and Wind Release jutsu was dispersed in the blink of an eye!
The shockwave touched the dozen or so Root ninjas who had yet to react.
Bang! ! ! ! !
Their bodies are like fireworks that are set on fire directly shattered! !
Blood splatters!
Blown away!
