Pfft!
With the barrier shattered, the four Root special jonins maintaining it all spat blood—backlash or rage, who knows.

"What the hell?! Why'd the barrier break?! So close—mission was done!"
Watching Ye Wu Di and Hinata fall toward the Hyuga team, the near-successful Root jonin Socrates-screamed.
Compared to his fury, one of the four frowned.
"The barrier broke instantly—but from the Hyuga side!"
"So… Hyuga had a hidden ninja break it?"
"Exactly."
Clap clap clap!
Hearing the analysis, the jonin glared darkly at the equally baffled Hyuga elder and crew.
"Heh heh heh, keep pretending!"
"You broke it—now play dumb."
"Hyuga clan—truly despicable, dogs!"
Us? Breaking the barrier?
The Hyuga elder shot questioning looks at his jonin.
All shook heads.
He turned to Hiashi behind him, face full of doubt.
"Uh, Hiashi—sending more backup?"
"Nope. Just brought you all to rescue."
Hiashi shook his head crisply.
"Third party intervened."
Third party…?
Hearing this, Root's five (minus the twitching, blood-foam-spitting guy) all turned.
There: ANBU's trio, slowly approaching.
But before they grasped the chaos, Root unleashed sarcastic venom.
"Heh heh, ANBU calls us shady—yet you're no better!"
"Exactly! Your spy by Ye Wu Di broke it—why else'd it vanish when you arrived?!"
Us?
Pre-planted spy?
The fresh ANBU trio? Faces of pure lost puppy.
Who are we?
Where are we?
What do we do…?
Even Hiruzen, spying via Telescope Technique, saw zero clues.
His face? Giant question mark!
He did plant a Ye Wu Di watcher—but today…
Not there!
Kakashi's still out We Bare Bears-running with Guy!
So Root suspects: ANBU's hidden jonin broke it!
ANBU trio thinks: Root's framing them.
Hiruzen vs. Danzo beef? Normal.
The breaker? Hyuga—playing innocent to dodge blame!
Hyuga suspects: Root saw doom coming, self-dissolved the barrier for an out.
Their "polite" talk? Just face-saving.
Instantly, all three factions eyed each other—who wants this pot?!
"…"
Seeing this, Ye Wu Di—now shielded by arriving Hyuga elder/jonin—flashed a sly glint.
Fun situation.
One word now = negative emotion jackpot…
With that, he cradled Hinata, Body Flickered to the three factions' center.
"Stop overthinking! I broke the barrier!"
"No need to suspect each other—we're all loving Konoha folk! Trust each other!"
"…"
Ye Wu Di's words deflated the tense, powder-keg air.
All rage? Turned to speechless resentment.
You did it?
You're a pre-genin brat!
Sure, lucked into Shisui's Body Flicker—fast, sneaky, cool poses? Fine.
But barrier-breaking…?
Heh heh, believe you my ass!
You're a lying machine—ten sentences, zero truth!
If that's real, we're pigs!
Ding! Congratulations, Host, for earning 999 points of negative emotions from Root Special Jonin!
Ding! Congratulations, Host, for earning 666 points of negative emotions from ANBU Jonin!
Ding! Congratulations, Host, for earning 666 points of negative emotions from Hyuga Elder!
Ding! Congratulations, Host, for earning…
Instantly, three factions dumped all frustration on Ye Wu Di.
Too bad—Hyuga/ANBU came to save him, so max 666 points. No escalation, no spam.
"As expected—gotta count on First Pot Shadow and his crew!"
"Heh heh, Root bros! Ye Wu Di's back to play!"
Whoosh!
With that thought, Ye Wu Di cradled Hinata before all eyes.
Middle fingers up to Root's five + polite family greetings.
"F*** your moms!"
"…"
