Clang!
Boom!
The sturdy door in front of Neji finally collapsed and shattered, causing a loud noise. Dust and smoke filled the air. He had finally opened a path to the Root headquarters.
Looking inside, it was a eerie green, even more frightening than outside the door. It had a desolate, or rather, a cold and mysterious feeling. Just a glance made your scalp tingle and goosebumps rise all over your body.
Inside, there were walkways everywhere, crisscrossing and looking very messy, like a maze. If someone from outside the Root came here rashly, they would likely get lost.
This was understandable. After all, Danzo did many secret things. Without some protection, he might have been exposed long ago.
Neji strode in. It was quiet all around. The empty space felt like he was the only one there. Cold machines were everywhere, making it seem bleak. But this was all an illusion.
"I didn't expect so many people to welcome me. I'm truly honored," Neji said slowly, his eyes constantly scanning his surroundings.
No one answered.
"Heh," Neji chuckled dismissively. "You haven't forgotten my basic abilities, have you? I am from the Hyuga clan."
Then, Neji suddenly activated his Byakugan. Veins bulged around his eyes, constantly scanning the surroundings. Everything hidden was exposed in his eyes.
"The Hyuga clan's Byakugan, the Uchiha clan's Sharingan, truly annoying abilities. But you should know, the Uchiha clan is gone,"
A voice slowly came from behind Neji, immediately making Neji's lips curve up. "Finally willing to come out, huh?"
Silently, a large number of Root ninja surrounded Neji, wearing different masks. Their eyes stared straight at Neji, revealing a strong killing intent. They were just waiting for a word, and they would fight fiercely to kill Neji here.
"Intruding into the Root and killing two ninja guarding the Root, Hyuga Neji, even if you are a genius of the Hyuga clan, don't even think about getting out today," Yamanaka Fu said coldly.
He and Aburame Torune were also present when Neji angrily confronted Danzo, so they were naturally familiar with Neji. Being able to take down so many Root ninja in the blink of an eye, Neji's strength could not be measured by age. Even they had to be careful.
"Whether I get out or not is none of your business. However, I think you can't get out."
Neji suddenly attacked, his figure instantly appearing in front of Yamanaka Fu. The Chakra in his hand instantly formed a blade, slashing fiercely at Yamanaka Fu.
Chakra Scalpel!
"What?!" Yamanaka Fu's pupils shrank, subconsciously trying to dodge, but it was too late.
Sizzle!
Blood spurted and splattered on the ground. An severed arm suddenly fell, and imprinted in Yamanaka Fu's eyes were Neji's eyes, filled with a fierce killing intent.
"Fu!" Aburame Torune shouted, then angrily roared, "Hyuga Neji, how dare you attack!"
"You idiot," Neji glanced at Aburame Torune and cursed. The fight had already started, there was no reason to stop.
Neji's hands didn't stop. Two lion heads suddenly appeared in his hands, fierce and powerful. The Chakra gradually turned deep blue. The rolling, vast destructive force swept everything away, isolating everyone else, leaving only Neji and Yamanaka Fu.
"No one can save you! Gentle Step Twin Lion Fists!" Neji said coldly. Then, the two huge lion heads swallowed Yamanaka Fu head-on.
"No!" Yamanaka Fu shouted, but it was useless. The gap between him and Neji was too big.
Neji's overall strength was only at the elite jonin level, but that was only because of Chakra and experience. If he really fought, he could already fight with a Kage level ninja. That was why he dared to come and find Danzo.
Bang!
Yamanaka Fu was immediately shattered, his remains scattered everywhere, blood flowing. In just an instant, Neji killed an elite of the Root, immediately stunning the other Root members.
They said nice things, no past, no feelings, no future, but when it came to the critical moment of life and death, who would be indifferent?
"Heh," Neji sneered. The Yamanaka clan's Mind Transfer Jutsu was very difficult to deal with. When enemies were all around, even a moment of inattentiveness would be fatal. So, he had to get rid of Yamanaka Fu first.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh...
At this time, dozens of throwing weapons came flying through the air. Without any extra words, the Root ninja moved. Neji had already stated his position, telling them his purpose with action. This person could not be allowed to live.
Whether for Danzo or for themselves.
"Useless!" Neji suddenly spun around, a hemispherical Chakra shield surrounded him, blocking all the incoming throwing weapons.
"Rotation, physical attacks are useless against him, switch to Ninjutsu attacks," someone shouted, and quickly attacked. Waves surged, and a water dragon abruptly rushed towards Neji. And, almost at the same time, others also unleashed their own Ninjutsu.
Water dragon, lightning pillars, fireballs, wind vortexes, stone bullets, five different Ninjutsu mixed together, overwhelming and sweeping towards Neji, like a reenactment of the battle between Sarutobi Hiruzen and Orochimaru.
But unfortunately, Neji had the strength to contend with Orochimaru, but these Root ninja did not have the power to fight Sarutobi Hiruzen. Even if they were numerous, but...
"Wood Clone Jutsu!"
Neji's back suddenly turned into wood, from which two people identical to him emerged.
"Only two? I'm still far from enough," Neji frowned. Senju Hashirama could create four clones even while maintaining the Four Violet Flames Formation.
"But this is enough."
"Eight Trigrams: Mountain Crusher!" Two Nejis worked together, in an instant, a great white light shone, illuminating the surroundings. Two beams of white light rushed straight towards the incoming five-element Ninjutsu.
Crack!
An unbelievable scene happened. The two beams of white light shattered inch by inch, broken like glass, unable to resist the five-element Ninjutsu at all. This phenomenon immediately surprised Neji.
"I was too proud. Besides a limited few, who can withstand the attacks of so many ninja without losing ground? I need to settle down properly."
Neji's mind was clear, and he quickly found the reason. His strength had grown unusually fast recently, giving him a false sense of invincibility. But this was just an illusion, a manifestation of his arrogance.
He still had a long way to go.
"After this battle, I need to accumulate during the relatively stable period of the next three years."
And at this time, a large amount of Ninjutsu had already arrived above Neji's head.
