Chapter 129: Then Let's Fight Our Way In

The Root ninja standing across from him immediately tensed up. Their expressions changed, and they quickly drew their short blades from behind their backs, gripping them tightly.

With cold, steely gazes, they faced the approaching Ryo."Boss Ryo, forgive us, but we have no choice," one of them said icily.

As soon as the words left his mouth, the group flickered forward, closing the distance toward Ryo.

However, Ryo paid them no mind. It was as if he hadn't seen them at all, his pace never slowing as he continued walking forward.

In an instant, the Root ninjas were upon him, their blades cutting through the air in a swift and deadly arc.

But just before their weapons could reach him, they suddenly froze in place.

Their eyes widened in shock, and then, a look of fear surfaced on their faces.

Ryo merely continued walking, stepping past them. As he passed, he spared them a glance and said flatly,"If you want to make a move, you'd better have the strength to back it up."

Without another word, he proceeded toward the entrance.

At the same time, the three Pokémon followed closely behind him. Just as they were about to step inside, Gardevoir casually waved its arm.

The Root ninjas were suddenly lifted into the air.

Then, with a loud boom, they were slammed into the ground.

Cracks spread across the stone floor upon impact.

"Pfft—"

One of the ninjas coughed up blood and collapsed, unconscious.

If Gardevoir hadn't held back, these men would already be dead.

Ryo had no interest in what happened next.

With a steady pace, he ventured deeper inside, eventually arriving at a large hall-like chamber.

Inside, more than a dozen Root ninjas stood ready, their gazes filled with caution.

Each of them held short blades, poised for battle.

"You reacted pretty fast," Ryo muttered, shaking his head. "But is that old dog Danzo not coming out to see me himself?"

None of the Root ninjas answered. They didn't attack either. They simply stood their ground, watching Ryo and his Pokémon.

Ryo frowned slightly."What? Did Danzo send you all here to stall me while he makes a run for it?"

He had no patience for this.

Without waiting for a response, he continued walking forward. His mental energy surged outward, his gaze turning impatient.

"If none of you are going to speak, then there's no need for words!"

He raised his hand, and the objects in the room began to tremble.

Even the weapons in the Root ninjas' hands started to shake, almost slipping from their grasp.

Ryo frowned. "Still not strong enough. I can't directly snatch their weapons yet."

"But no matter—other objects will do."

With another wave of his hand, the surrounding furniture, debris, and loose items floated into the air. Then, they twisted their orientation and aimed straight at the Root ninjas.

The opposing shinobi's eyes flickered with fear, their alertness increasing.

Ryo ignored their reactions.

"Go!" He commanded with a flick of his wrist.

The levitating objects shot toward the Root ninjas like bullets.

A piercing whoosh filled the air as the improvised projectiles sliced through the space between them.

The ninjas swung their short blades, desperately trying to block the onslaught.

But as the objects clashed with their weapons, their expressions changed to shock.

Under Ryo's control, these seemingly fragile objects had become unnaturally hard and were striking with immense force.

With each impact, the short blades trembled in their grips.

Some of the ninjas were even sent flying, crashing into the walls.

Ryo observed this and frowned slightly.

Not satisfied, he lifted his hand again, and more objects floated into the air.

"Go!"

Once again, they shot forward at terrifying speed.

Seeing this, the Root ninjas' expressions turned grim.

"Use ninjutsu!" someone shouted. "Everyone, together!"

Pushing back the airborne debris, they quickly weaved hand signs.

"Fire Release—""Wind Release—""Earth Release—""—"

A dozen ninjutsu techniques erupted simultaneously, filling the chamber with blazing fire, slicing winds, and crushing earth.

Ryo's face darkened.If this continued, Danzo really might slip away.

He turned to the side."Gardevoir, Moonblast!"

Gardevoir nodded, gathering mental energy and firing a shimmering attack toward the enemy jutsu.

Ryo continued issuing commands."Espeon, Psychic! Dragonite, Dragon Rage!"

"Aoo—!""Bui—!"

The two Pokémon acknowledged the order, charging up their respective moves before launching them forward.

Their attacks collided head-on with the incoming jutsu.

But in less than ten seconds, the Root ninjas' combined offensive was completely overpowered.

The remnants of the Pokémon's attacks continued surging forward.

The ninjas' eyes widened in shock.

They couldn't comprehend how their combined elemental techniques were shattered so effortlessly.

Boom—

The next second, the Pokémon's attacks struck them directly.

Cries of agony filled the chamber as the shinobi were flung backward.

Some had their limbs broken on impact.

The less fortunate were torn apart entirely, their blood rapidly pooling beneath them.

Crack— Crack—

At that moment, the ground and walls began to fracture.

Chunks of rock tumbled from the ceiling, and the walls trembled violently.

Ryo narrowed his eyes."Enough. Let's keep moving."

Lifting himself with psychic energy, he flew deeper into the underground hideout.

His Pokémon followed closely behind.

As for the injured and wailing Root ninjas, they were no longer his concern.

Ryo had no intention of showing mercy.Leaving them alive was already more kindness than they deserved.

After all, they had willingly followed Danzo, committing countless atrocities.

Death would have been a mercy.

Moments after Ryo and his Pokémon disappeared, the entire chamber collapsed.

Since this was an underground facility, once it caved in, there was no saving it.

Boulders crashed down, dirt poured in.

In a matter of minutes, this entire section of Konoha was gone.

Only a massive crater on the surface remained, as though the hideout had never existed.
