"Go!"
Despite being shocked by the abilities represented by Kenshi's Chakra garment, the three members of the Root team didn't lose their composure.
At this moment, their ninja combat instincts were on full display.
The moment Kenshi completely stepped out of the lab door, the Root ninja hidden in the left corridor instantly formed hand seals and unleashed a jutsu.
"Shadow Clone Technique!"
This ninja was actually a member of the Nara clan from the Ino-Shika-Cho trio, Nara Egawa, Root codename "Shadow," a master of his family's secret technique, Shadow Clone Technique.
Three shadows shot out from his feet, rapidly darting towards Kenshi's shadow, which was being illuminated by the wall lamps on the left and right, giving him no chance to dodge.
The speed was so fast that even Kenshi, who was somewhat prepared, couldn't react in time to dodge. In an instant, his body was controlled.
This clearly showed that although Kenshi had developed the Black Iron Chains, a sealing jutsu that combined offense and defense, his own combat experience was still too lacking.
He couldn't effectively utilize his abilities.
But Kenshi didn't panic.
Whizz!
The moment the Nara clan ninja attacked.
In the right corridor, the hidden captain also appeared, performing a Body Flicker Technique and quickly arriving at Kenshi's side.
At this time, Kenshi was just immobilized by the Shadow Clone Technique, unable to move. The two worked in perfect harmony, trusting each other, their timing impeccable.
The captain raised his hand and aimed a sealing jutsu at Kenshi's head, preparing to seal and immobilize him.
The test subject from Laboratory Zero, of course, the first priority was to capture him alive.
But at this moment, Kenshi had already reacted.
If he hadn't reacted, then Kenshi would have been letting down his monstrous Chakra Sensing ability.
Just as the captain's palm was about to land on Kenshi's head, with the thought "Got him" flashing through his mind.
A clang, clang, clang sound suddenly arose.
Right at the spot where the captain's palm was aimed, a Black Iron Chain suddenly shot out from the side of Kenshi's head, transforming from real to intangible, piercing through the captain's palm and entering his body.
The moment it came into contact with the captain's Chakra in his meridians and dantian, it instantly restricted and bound all the Chakra in his body.
Without the ability to manipulate Chakra, he couldn't release any jutsu, including taijutsu.
So, even though the captain's physical strength was many times stronger than that of ordinary people, he couldn't resist the Black Iron Chains binding him.
Kenshi's Black Iron Chains were like vines, and seven thinner Black Iron Chains extended from this chain, wrapping around the captain's arm, tightly binding his entire body.
"No good."
On the other side, the Nara clan ninja, the moment his captain's palm was pierced by Kenshi's Black Iron Chains, his heart skipped a beat. He realized that his Shadow Clone Technique hadn't restricted the enemy from using jutsu.
In an instant, he reacted.
He immediately changed his hand seals, trying to transform the illusory shadows into solid shadows and use the Shadow Strangulation Technique to break Kenshi's Black Iron Chains.
But unfortunately, it was too late.
The moment he formed hand seals, Kenshi's Black Iron Chains had already suddenly appeared from underground and arrived at his feet.
Clang, clang, clang!
Three Black Iron Chains instantly shot out from the ground. One pierced through Nara Egawa's body, instantly restricting and binding his Chakra, while the other two tightly bound him like a rice dumpling.
"How... No, damn it!"
The moment he was bound, Nara Egawa was first in disbelief, then annoyed and regretful.
He thought that the ground of the Root base had been reinforced with sealing jutsu patterns, and that no one could use Earth Release techniques like Earth Release: Heart Severing Technique without knowing the jutsu pattern code.
But he had clearly seen with his own eyes that Kenshi could pass through the lab door, which was also sealed with sealing jutsu patterns, without destroying them.
At that moment, he should have realized that the sealing jutsu patterns on the ground wouldn't stop the test subject's jutsu from passing through.
Unfortunately, the battle was too short.
From the moment Kenshi emerged, to launching his attack, to their being bound by Kenshi's Black Iron Chains, the entire process took less than a second.
In that short time, their actions were completely controlled by their subconscious combat instincts.
They launched an attack, then instantly reacted with the Shadow Strangulation Technique.
Plus, the moment Kenshi appeared, their attention was focused on the Chakra garment woven with terrifying Chakra control.
They spent their attention on those points.
They naturally didn't have time to delve into and ponder the meaning of Kenshi being able to pass through the sealed door without destroying it.
This ultimately led to Nara Egawa not being prepared for Kenshi's Black Iron Chain attack from underground, and he was instantly subdued.
After losing the ability to manipulate Chakra, Nara Egawa also lost control of his jutsu. His Shadow Clone Technique instantly dissipated.
Kenshi's body regained its ability to move.
"No good, Chi冥!"
At this time, seeing Kenshi's black Chakra chains emerge from the ground and bind Shadow (Nara Egawa), the captain, who had been expecting something from the other team member hidden underground, Chi冥, instantly turned pale.
Sure enough, the next moment.
Bang!
"Hmm?"
The lab door in front of Kenshi suddenly exploded, turning into a cloud of white smoke and dissipating.
The Root captain and Nara Egawa were instantly stunned.
Boom!
At this time, the lab door suddenly exploded open, revealing a large hole.
Amidst the dust, Kenshi, wearing his Black Iron Chain garment, stepped out of the lab, his feet on the rubble.
Bang... !
Behind Kenshi, a Black Iron Chain pulled out a Root ninja wearing a black and white mask from the ground where he had been standing, as if pulling up a radish.
It was Chi冥, the other team member the Root captain had been expecting to do something, a ninja skilled in Earth Release and concealment.
"So that's how it is!"
The Root captain and Nara Egawa looked dejected and bitter.
At this time, how could they not understand that the one they had been fighting before was just a shadow clone of Kenshi?
They couldn't even defeat a shadow clone, and they were instantly bound and sealed.
They were three Root jōnin who worked in perfect harmony!
They were defeated by a mere shadow clone of a test subject.
Thinking about this, the three Root team members felt very uncomfortable.
Compared to the three of them, Kenshi felt much more relaxed.
After realizing that the lab door, walls, and floor were all reinforced with sealing jutsu patterns, Kenshi sensed that he might have triggered a corresponding alarm mechanism the moment he emerged from the glass tank.
Plus, removing the sealing jutsu pattern that Danzo had left on his heart must have alerted Danzo.
So, there might already be people ambushed outside.
Therefore, Kenshi used the Shadow Clone Technique developed by his former father, Akemiya Takuya, to create a shadow clone and have it pass through the lab door.
While he stayed in the lab, where his presence was blocked by the sealing jutsu patterns, the three Root team members couldn't sense him and naturally wouldn't suspect the shadow clone's identity.
Even if they suspected, it wouldn't matter.
The Shadow Clone Technique was truly a remarkable jutsu, even Six Paths-level strong individuals couldn't tell the difference.
Kenshi's shadow clone even possessed the Chakra Nature Transformation Sensing ability that only Kenshi's real body could have.
The moment the shadow clone Kenshi stepped out of the lab door.
Shadow Clone Kenshi, through Chakra contact with the ground, instantly analyzed all the Nature Transformation and shape transformation of the sealing jutsu patterns on the ground outside and successfully replicated them.
Therefore, the sealing jutsu patterns in the corridor floor and the surrounding walls couldn't stop his Black Iron Chains.
And Chi冥, the Root ninja hidden underground, preparing to ambush, naturally couldn't escape Kenshi's Chakra Sensing.
The moment he attacked the two Root ninjas in the corridor, Chi冥, hidden underground, was also sealed by Kenshi's Black Iron Chains, his Chakra bound, and his body tightly restrained.
"Heh!"
Kenshi smiled and walked to the middle of the corridor, controlling the Black Iron Chains to bring the three Root ninjas in front of him.
Thus, three Root jōnin with jōnin-level strength were defeated in an instant.
This not only proved that his Black Iron Chains were indeed powerful, but it also illustrated a fact.
In battles between ninjas, intelligence is very important.
The three experienced jōnin were defeated without any resistance by Kenshi. The main reason was that they were completely unaware of Kenshi's various abilities.
If they had known that the Black Iron Chains had the powerful ability to seal and restrict Chakra, and that they could be released at will without hand seals, then Nara Egawa's initial choice wouldn't have been the Shadow Clone Technique, but to use the Shadow Strangulation Technique to bind Kenshi while crippling him.
This way, Kenshi's shadow clone would definitely have exploded.
The three of them would have... Kenshi suddenly shook his head and didn't continue the hypothetical scenario.
Reality had no ifs, ands, or buts.
Defeat was defeat.
Putting his thoughts aside, Kenshi looked at the three in mid-air in front of him.
"Where's the exit?" Kenshi asked.
"Give up, you can't escape." The Root captain didn't give up fighting. He continued to output with his mouth, "This is Konoha. I've already informed the Hokage-sama. No matter what, you..."
Plop, plop, plop!
In an instant, the captain and his two teammates exploded like water-filled balloons, blood and flesh splattering on the walls of the corridor and also on Kenshi's body.
Kenshi didn't bother to listen to the captain's blathering. He directly used the Black Iron Chains to crush the three of them.
"Whew... such a familiar scent!"
Kenshi suddenly exclaimed.
"Hiruzen, and your wife and son, I wonder if your flesh and blood also have such an alluring aroma?"
"No rush, no rush!"
Suddenly, Kenshi stopped his crazy expression, regaining his calm, smiling demeanor, suppressing his longing for Hiruzen.
For now, he would leave first.
Kenshi glanced at the corridors on either side, extending his Chakra Sensing ability. Then, he frowned slightly.
The entire base seemed to be enveloped in layers of Chakra Sensing barriers, preventing his Chakra Sensing ability from extending.
There were no other ninjas within his sensing range.
This made it impossible for him to judge the size of the base, let alone find the exit.
Since that's the case... Kenshi looked up.
At least the sky must be above him!
With a thought, four Black Iron Chains shot upward from behind Kenshi.
