Boom!
Powerful Ninjutsu collided with each other, the air seemed to be compressed for a moment, then exploded with incredible force, unleashing a deafening roar that shook the entire Root facility.
Bang!
An invisible shockwave spread out in all directions, incredibly powerful, like wind blades, indestructible, instantly slicing through a bridge below.
At that moment, everyone's expression changed. They immediately retreated. These wind blades were too sharp, and no one dared to face them head-on.
However, this was just the aftershock. Only the aftershock had such terrifying destructive power, so one could imagine the horrific damage at the center of the explosion.
At this moment, all of Konoha was awakened. It was a peaceful night, quiet and serene, but the sounds of banging, explosions, and screams came one after another. Now, there was a strange vibration.
In this quiet night, all of this was so obvious, so unusual.
"What on earth is Danzo doing?"
Inside the Hokage building, Utatane Koharu and Mitokado Homura were explaining Konoha's affairs to Tsunade. However, inexplicable sounds continued to come from the Root headquarters, causing Utatane Koharu to frown.
This Danzo is being too inconsiderate. Even if he's upset, he shouldn't be disturbing them like this. Tomorrow is the Hokage Inauguration Ceremony.
"Is it an intruder?" Mitokado Homura asked.
"Let him handle it himself. Root can't be so useless that they can't even deal with a few intruders," Utatane Koharu said coldly. Since Neji confronted Danzo last time, she had developed a deep distrust of Danzo, even dissatisfaction.
Now, even if Root is being attacked, she's doing well enough by not causing trouble for him. He wants her to help?
Impossible!
"No, let's go take a look," Tsunade stood up. She hadn't forgotten that Danzo sent people to assassinate her.
Moreover, Neji's words bothered her. What is Root hiding? Tonight, in light of Neji's words, it all seems too strange. Whether for the sake of the village or for her own sake, she had to go.
At the same time, in the Hyuga clan compound, Hyuga Hiashi stood in the courtyard, looking into the distance with a deep frown, his Byakugan filled with seriousness.
"That location is Root! What exactly is going on? An invader? How is that possible..." After a long time, he turned and left. In any case, he needed to go see what was happening.
"Tokuma, go get Neji."
Hyuga Hiashi's words slowly drifted into a shadow. A figure heard them, immediately stood up, and left.
Now that he had decided to groom Neji as the next clan leader, he naturally wanted to guide Neji as much as possible, in every respect.
"However, there seem to be more and more things happening in Konoha lately," Hyuga Hiashi sighed.
Then, he immediately gathered a large number of clan members under the name of the clan leader. The situation was still unclear, but if Konoha was attacked, then they had to rush to the scene as soon as possible.
Of course, that was just the stated reason. As for what he really thought inside, well, he was hoping that Root would have problems, gone for good for the best. Anyone could guess that the people attacking Root couldn't possibly be invaders.
Soon after, Hyuga Iroha returned. The result was, of course, predictable. It would have been strange if he could have found Neji.
"Strange, where did he go?" Hyuga Hiashi frowned: "Never mind, let's go to the Hokage Building."
Root wasn't like other places where anyone could just go. The people there did things that were darker than the Anbu, ruthless and merciless.
Without the Hokage's permission, Root would never let outsiders in. They might even slap you with the label of a rogue ninja if you went there without warning, which nobody wanted.
So, they could only go to the Hokage Building. Although the Inauguration ceremony hadn't been held yet, it was a sure thing that Tsunade would become the next Hokage. It wasn't as if Danzo would openly challenge her.
At the same time, the other Konoha clans also gathered spontaneously, with the same thoughts, and arrived in front of the Hokage Building.
As a result, even though it was still the middle of the night, a dense crowd of people had gathered in front of the Hokage Building, a dark mass.
Tsunade, Utatane Koharu, and Mitokado Homura had just come out of the Hokage Building when the crowd erupted.
"Tsunade-sama, what exactly is going on? What are these repeated vibrations?"
"Is there an enemy invasion?"
The crowd chattered, a lot of noise, their voices rising and falling, venting their dissatisfaction, but if you listened carefully, you could still hear the joy in their words.
Okay, to put it bluntly, everyone knew that something had gone wrong with Root. There was no invasion at all. But that didn't stop them from stirring things up. They'd been watched by Root all along. Many families had been harmed. Now that they saw Root suffering a major loss, how could they not get involved?
Their thoughts were written all over their faces. Nobody felt the tension of Root being invaded silently by someone.
Utatane Koharu and Mitokado Homura already knew this. It would be weird if these people were actually here to support Root. Tsunade raised an eyebrow.
How much resentment do these people have towards Root? That's Root! Even though it's just a guess, it's most likely true. If someone managed to invade silently, that person's strength has to be at least a Jonin's.
But look at these people... Fine, actually Tsunade has the same idea as them, but the Hokage position is difficult, she can't just stand by and watch. However, she has made a decision.
"Tobirama-sensei's established Root is truly not suitable to exist."
Then, she waved her hand: "Quiet! Now, follow me to Root."
At this time, the Root base was in dead silence. Neji threw Aburame Torune to the ground and looked indifferently at the people in the distance.
Under the Flame Rotation, the nano-level poison insects attached to Aburame Torune's body had all been burned to death. Even his body had been burned until it was hot and red, he had already gone to the Pure Land.
"How could this be?" The Root members were shocked. Yamanaka Fu and Aburame Torune actually... died!
But the other side was still unharmed.
Faced with such a powerful opponent, how could they fight?
"He he." As Sumire's body trembled, Neji placed his hand on her head.
"When it doesn't involve yourselves, you are all ruthless, but when it concerns yourselves, how many people can calmly face it?"
Neji's hand continued to stroke Sumire's smooth long hair: "Emotions cannot be discarded."
Suddenly, Neji's hand stopped, he smiled, his eyes shining brightly.
