Chapter 20: Blood-Colored Sunlight

"The Nara clan's secret technique is quite good, but it depends on who the opponent is," Itsuki said leisurely. "Little child, no matter how many tools you are given, you can't tie down a giant."

"Just like that monkey Sarutobi Hiruzen, even if you jump up, you won't be as tall as me."

"Whoosh!"

Itsuki disappeared from his spot, narrowly avoiding all the attacks.

It was as precise as if it had been calculated by a machine.

The slight difference even made the Root ninja think that their attacks had hit him.

"I'm here!"

In the next moment, Itsuki appeared behind a ninja, gently blowing in her ear, teasing, "I can sense that you are a beautiful female ninja, but it's a pity..."

"Poof!"

A kunai appeared in Itsuki's hand, which he deftly thrust into the ninja's body, piercing her heart.

"Remember to hate Danzo while you hate me."

The ninja's body stiffened and slowly fell to the ground.

"Damn it! Uchiha Itsuki, you..."

"Poof!"

A ninja had just let out an angry roar when a shuriken pierced his brain.

"What are you yelling for? Do you think you can scare me? The battle between ninjas depends on skill, not your voice, kid."

"You..."

The Root ninjas were trembling.

Strong!

He was simply too strong!

Why was he so strong?

He was even stronger than Shisui of the Body Flicker.

Itsuki stretched, pointing at the Root ninjas with interest, and said, "One, two, three, four, five, there are five left. Tell me, how do you want to die? I'm very merciful and will let you choose your own way to die."

As he spoke, he gently waved his hand.

The head of a ninja who had suddenly appeared beside him was plucked off by him.

It was like a ripe peach, falling from the tree with a gentle touch.

However, the dripping blood reflected him like a demon.

Fear finally appeared in the eyes of the Root ninjas.

The power gap was too great!

They were as vulnerable as babies in front of Uchiha Itsuki.

Just now, they had no idea how Itsuki had removed that ninja's head.

"I was wrong just now. It turns out there were six!" Itsuki chuckled, looking a little embarrassed, like a shy young man, and said, "Now it's right, exactly five!"

The Root ninjas instantly scattered, staring at Itsuki.

Capturing Uchiha Itsuki?

In their dreams!

Killing Uchiha Itsuki and bringing back his head?

Impossible!

The only thing they could think of now was to escape!

How to successfully escape!

"Since you won't choose, then I'll choose for you!"

Itsuki said with a smile, "Five ninjas, using Fire Style, Water Style, Wind Style, Lightning Style, and Earth Style ninjutsu respectively, to kill you, how about that?"

"One for each, fair distribution."

"Barrier, remove the barrier!"

A Root ninja shouted, "We can't beat this monster at all, we must leave immediately."

As for being discovered...

Well!

When Danzo sent them here, he didn't intend to hide.

Just like Itsuki said, the Uchiha, Konoha Military Police Force, Anbu, and Root, these four organizations, any slightly significant action now would be immediately discovered by others.

Everyone's eyes were on them.

What Danzo wanted to do was to seize a time difference.

He wanted to capture Uchiha Itsuki and search his mind for the whereabouts of the Mangekyo Sharingan, to obtain the Mangekyo Sharingan as quickly as possible.

As long as he got two pairs of Mangekyo Sharingan, would he need to care about others?

Don't forget that among those two pairs of Mangekyo Sharingan, there was one with Kotoamatsukami!

Even if the Mangekyo Sharingan theft was not self-directed by the Uchiha clan, once it fell into his hands, Danzo had plenty of ways to make the fake become real.

As for the resistance from others...

Just throw out the clues about the Mangekyo Sharingan.

With the Mangekyo Sharingan in front, the things Danzo had done could only be secondary!

He had to believe in the power of the Mangekyo Sharingan, which no one could resist.

If there was, it could only mean that they didn't know the power of Kotoamatsukami.

The Root ninja's shouting and yelling did not receive a response.

The surroundings were silent.

"Damn it, didn't you hear me?"

The Root ninja shouted again.

Itsuki smiled and slowly formed hand seals.

He was not in a hurry at all.

Even without the barrier, whoever he wanted to kill would die.

The person he wanted to kill, not even the Third Hokage or a gorilla could save them.

The ninja in the shadows gritted his teeth silently.

Shut up!

We are working on removing the barrier.

When the barrier was initially set up, they were worried about being discovered by Uchiha Itsuki, as well as by people outside, so they used a special kind of barrier.

It was a barrier mixed with genjutsu.

It was slow to set up and slow to remove.

And!

The worst part was that they, the ones who set up the barrier, were also inside the barrier.

The ninjas who set up the barrier wanted to cry.

It could be said that no one wanted to remove the barrier more than them.

Help, there's a big devil behind us!

"Alright, let's begin!"

Itsuki grinned.

"Uchiha Itsuki!" a Root ninja shouted, "We are acting under the orders of Lord Danzo..."

"Earth Style: Earth Dragon Jutsu!"

Earth chakra surged out, gathering a large amount of earth and stones, transforming into a dragon with astonishing momentum, roaring as it lunged towards a ninja.

"Save me..."

The ninja had just cried out when he was swallowed by the earth dragon.

"One down!"

Itsuki cheered like a child.

"Die!"

The other ninjas couldn't hold back anymore, shouting angrily as they used various ninjutsu techniques.

Including the ninja from the Nara clan, who used the secret technique again.

Unfortunately!

Itsuki had truly mastered the Body Flicker Technique.

He didn't need Body Replacement Technique or Shadow Clone Jutsu.

Just the Body Flicker Technique!

Like teleportation, he randomly changed positions within the barrier.

The Root ninjas attacked frantically.

One ninjutsu after another was continuously used, but there was no effect.

The moment they stopped was the moment Itsuki attacked.

"Wind Style: Vacuum Sphere!"

Itsuki took a deep breath and expelled wind chakra.

Like a bullet, in the blink of an eye, it turned a ninja into a hornet's nest.

"Two!"

Itsuki held up two fingers as if in victory.

"Go for it!"

The Root ninjas charged forward again, but couldn't even touch the corner of Itsuki's clothes.

"Water Style: Water Severing Wave!"

A water column descended from above, slicing a ninja in half.

"Three!"

"Crack!"

At that moment, crisp sounds suddenly came from the barrier.

Itsuki looked up and said with a smile, "Is the barrier about to be removed? Alright, then let everything end!"

He looked at the remaining two ninjas.

The two ninjas trembled, their expressions filled with terror.

Many people said that the Root ninjas had no emotions.

They were just Danzo's tools.

Itsuki showed everyone with facts that the Root ninjas could also feel fear.

"Lightning Style: Lightning Great Spear!"

A spear formed of lightning shot out, piercing a ninja's chest.

It carried his body, flying backward.

"Boom!"

"Crack!"

The Lightning Great Spear collided with the barrier, tearing apart the already weakening barrier.

Outside the barrier, many people had already gathered.

The scene that greeted their eyes was this...

A ninja wearing a Root mask was pierced and pinned to the ground in front of them by a lightning spear.

Behind him, a young man with bandaged eyes had a gentle smile on his face, giving off a warm feeling in the sunlight.

However!

The surrounding corpses stained the sunlight with a hint of blood.

For a moment, the world stood still.
