Chapter 21 - Chapter 21

"C'mon, don't be shy—suicide for my entertainment!"

Before all eyes, Ye Wu Di cradled Hinata, urging the four Root ninjas to off themselves.

Eyes gleaming with excitement and anticipation.

He even started rubbing hands!

His vibe? Dead serious about tonight's group suicide show!

The Root ninjas—who thought they'd escape—panicked.

One even threatened for survival:

"Y'know who we are? If we die because of you, you won't have a happy e—"

Body Flicker!

Mid-sentence, Ye Wu Di appeared behind the lead special jonin.

Tiger seal formed, fingers pressed to his spine.

"What'd you say?"

"One chance to rephrase. Only one. Make it count."

Gulp gulp.

Seeing Ye Wu Di's signature move, the jonin swallowed hard.

"I-I said you…"

Konoha Secret Taijutsu · Thousand Years of Death!

Stab!

Before all eyes, chakra-charged fingers plunged.

Then…

"OHHHH!"

Ding! Congratulations, Host, for earning 999 points of negative emotions from Root Special Jonin!

Stab!

With the high-pitched "relief," Ye Wu Di wiped his hands with tissue, disgusted.

"Jeez, gave you a chance—still mumbling?"

"This attitude, scaring me? Eat shit."

He spun to the last three, eyes full of contempt, tiger seal reforming.

"Four grown men—tiny barrier—and you tire out? Total weaklings!"

"Weak? Go home, recharge—before your wives ditch you for green hats, clueless."

"Oh! I know a recipe: Liuwei Dihuang Decoction. Listen up, jot it—then die!"

Recipe… then die?

What's the point?!

As the three Root jonins blinked confused-rage, negative emotions brewing…

Hiashi and ANBU trio whipped out pens/paper from nowhere.

Scribbling furiously—super serious!

Root's three? Petrified.

Like lone boats adrift at sea…

You bastards won't stop him—and you're stealing our life-cost recipe?!

Damn this punk!

Ding! Congratulations, Host, for earning 999 points of negative emotions from Root Special Jonin!

Ding! Congratulations, Host, for earning 999 points of negative emotions from Root Special Jonin!

Ding! Congratulations, Host, for earning…

This many points?

Bliss!

Hearing the system spam, Ye Wu Di glowed.

Almost pitied killing these three.

Just farming Sasuke/Sakura perpetual leeks?

Salty-fish points for next draw? Monkey-year horse-month!

So… let tigers return to mountains? No harm!

"…"

But as Ye Wu Di schemed…

The three Root jonins' eyes flickered murderous intent.

Kid won't let us go? Fish die, net breaks!

Three of us full-power? Trade at least one!

One-for-one = fair. Two = profit!

Kill Ye Wu Di? Sweet revenge!

Chakra stirred slowly.

Ding! Congratulations, Host, for earning 999 points of negative emotions from Root Special Jonin!

Ding! Congratulations, Host, for earning…

But as they prepped last stand…

Ye Wu Di—Byakugan-sharp like Hiashi—spotted it instantly.

Before Hiashi moved, dropped a bombshell:

"Recipe's yours. Now scram."

"What?"

"WHAT?!"

All conscious faces: shock + disbelief.

Total advantage—and he releases them…?

ANBU trio paused, then shrugged.

"Kid's just a teen—mercy's normal."

"Captain's right."

"…"

But Hiashi thought different.

Kid sensed their desperation.

Won't let Hyuga-Root war erupt—so smart release.

Perfect son-in-law!

"Not bad."

"Not bad? Clan head, what?"

"I said this kid…"

"Hey! Told you to leave—still here?"

As Hiashi explained to elder, Ye Wu Di frowned.

Then mind-blown again:

"Now I think your deaths'd be a waste. Problem?"

"Uh, fine—we're gone."

Seeing real release, Root's three bolted—no hesitation.

But as chakra flared…

Body Flicker!—Ye Wu Di split three, blocking paths.

"Regretting?"

"Chill—I'm no villain. Actually, I'm a good guy."

"…"

If you're 'good,' world's doomed!

Facing their scorn, Ye Wu Di smirked.

"Here's the deal: my buddy's into your wives. Introduce 'em sometime."

"Oh—he's Cao. Thief."

Pfft!

Root's three froze.

Hiashi—mid-"rational" explanation—face blackened.

Your buddy?

That's YOU, homewrecker!
