"Uncle! Uncle, save me! There are bad people! There are many bad people here!"
Naruto, who was trapped under the armpit by a Root member, struggled desperately, yelled, and stretched out his hands to grab the Root member's face.
But at only three years old, his strength was not even enough to hinder the professionally trained Root members.
Even when he struggled desperately, he couldn't do anything, let alone break free from the shackles of that Root member.
"It's so noisy! Shut his mouth!"
Danzo's eyes were almost bloodshot, and he impatiently ordered Naruto's base.
He was in an unusually irritable mood. He had lost too many members of Root in order to bring the Jinchūriki.
His heart was bleeding.
"Yes!"
However, even before the Root member could take any action.
*Puff*
The silver fluid wrapped around Naruto's body suddenly stretched out its tentacles and instantly pierced his heart. The Root member let out a scream and his body fell downwards.
"Damn it! The frequency has accelerated again!"
Danzo's eyes widened further in anger.
There weren't many Root members left, yet he still couldn't find a way to crack that damned thing.
Just during the journey from the Uchiha clan district to the Root base, no less than ten Root members had died.
Almost at every fixed amount of distance, one could see a corpse belonging to the Root.
If he hadn't been cautious enough, in order to minimize the probability of accidents, and brought enough subordinates with him in this operation, he was sure that he wouldn't have been able to last until this point.
Looking at the last stretch of the journey, Danzo's bloodshot eyes relaxed slightly.
'Fortunately, we are almost there!'
"Is everything in the base ready?"
Danzo asked coldly.
"Everything is re-ready Danzo-sama, they are just waiting for the J-Jinchūriki to arrive."
The sensory-type Root member who followed Danzo replied with a trembling voice.
Most of the Root members were dead and there were not many left, if it weren't for the fact that he was a sensory-type ninja and had the ability to contact the base, he knew for sure that Danzo might have long used him as cannon fodder as well to transport the Jinchūriki.
However, with this terrifying death rate, it won't be long before it's his turn.
"Very good!"
Danzo finally showed a hint of joy in his expression.
Once the Jinchūriki is taken to the Root base, he would immediately take him to place the [Cursed Tongue Eradication Seal] on him, keeping him firmly in his hands.
'As for this damn thing...'
Danzo squinted at the silver fluid stained with blood.
'I will just leave it to the sealing team to handle it!'
"Danzo-sama, it's bad! There is something terrifying approaching quickly!"
The expression of the sensory-type ninja who was following Danzo suddenly changed.
The speed at which the other party approaching was incredible!
Too fast!
This was the first time since he became a ninja that he had sensed such a fast shinobi.
Just sensing the chakra signature of the other party in his perception was giving a chilling feeling.
Danzo squinted and turned his head. He was sure that he saw a blue object breaking through the air in the forest in the distance, approaching quickly.
All the big trees along the way were being destroyed, and the piercing sound gradually grew louder.
'Is it Namikaze Mirai?'
'If you have come earlier, you might be able to catch up.'
'Unfortunately, it's too late.'
'You are just like your brother Minato, a guy who likes to be late at critical moments!'
The corners of Danzo's mouth quirked up.
Ahead, the dark entrance to the Root base had appeared in view.
With a few sound of breaking air, the Root members who had been prepared came to respond.
"Danzo-sama!"
"Stop him."
After giving a brief order, Danzo rushed inside the base with Naruto.
The Root ninjas who came out felt their scalp numb when they saw the blue object rushing towards them from the forest.
'With such momentum...could it be that person?'
Danzo's faint voice came from behind.
"This is for the village."
Swallowing their saliva tremblingly, while drops of cold sweat fell from their forehead under the masks, the Root members formed an endless queue, firmly blocking the entrance to the Root base.
A few seconds later.
The rumbling sound gradually expanded.
It seemed like the whole world was filled with only that roaring sound.
Mirai's cold face under the blue lightning arcs was soon reflected in the pupils of the Root members.
"Get ready! He's coming!"
Almost at the moment Mirai arrived.
"[Earth Style ∙ Falling Earth Spears]"
"[Wind Style ∙ Wind Blade Jutsu]"
"[Fire Style ∙ Dragon Flame Bomb]"
"Water Style..."
…
A dense and powerful barrage of ninjutsu were released, covering almost all elemental attributes, and blasted towards the figure rushing towards them. Under this airtight attack, the entire ground began to tremble.
Amid the erupting wind and waves, the Root members blocking the entrance to the base stared intently.
"Did that dealt with him?"
More than ten Chunin and above attacked at the same time, all of which were powerful offensive ninjutsu.
Even if the Third Hokage faced it, if he failed to dodge or defend, he would probably die instantly.
However, these Root members did not dare to be careless at all.
Because their opponent was the Blue Flash.
*Whoosh*
The surging wind and waves were suddenly separated from the middle. Mirai's speed did not even slow down, and there were no signs of damage even on his clothes.
The pupils of the Root ninjas shrank suddenly.
"Quick! Stop him!"
The next second.
"Arghhh!"
"Ahhhhhhh!"
Screams!
Wails!
These continued to echo at the entrance to the Root base.
This group of Root members, who had been carefully selected and had undergone cruel training, had no power to resist under that the arrival of death.
Several ferocious curved blades protruded from Mirai's body, like a meat grinder, it destroyed everything leaving a bloody mess.
Wherever one could look, they would now see flesh and blood scattering around.!
Severed limbs lying everywhere.
Massacre!
A one-sided massacre!
"De-demon?"
The last member of the Root looked at the figure who slaughtered everyone with trembling eyes. The cold face stained with blood, in his eyes, was a more terrifying existence than any human could be.
*Puff*
A flying blade cut open his neck, and his head still with the expression of fear flew high.
Mirai didn't even take a look and rushed directly into the entrance of the base.
Behind him was a trail of blood and human body parts.
…
As soon as Mirai rushed into the Root base, without any delay, he chose a direction and chased after it.
Naruto's bio-magnetic field was in that direction, and Danzo's bio-magnetic field is also there.
"Damn! Has he already killed all the people blocking the entrance?"
"How long has it been?!"
In the only passage for the Root base, the remaining Root members who were defending there saw the blood-stained blond figure rushing towards them, and their hearts seemed to be tightly grasped by a big hand.
More than a dozen people couldn't even delay one minute?
Before Danzo left, he deployed three lines of defense.
The first line of defense stationed at the entrance was slaughtered within a minute. They were the second line of defense!
They must delay him.
Mirai who was rushing towards them, did not slow down at all.
The only thing that his cold blue eyes reflected was the the Root members' fear.
*Boom*
"Aahhhhhhh!"
Screams rang out instantly, and flesh and blood flew everywhere.
This place which was known as Konoha's most heavily defended place, the Root base.
At this moment, it had turned into purgatory on earth.
