"Die, Angry Raging Tiger!" Minato roared, charging towards the two Chunin with an unstoppable momentum.
"Come on! Let's see who has the last laugh!" The two Anbu were not intimidated at all. They both raised the short swords in their hands, intending to split the blue lightning tiger apart. They were also very confident in their swordsmanship, knowing that its power was much higher than that of low-level ninjutsu.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
The moment the sword energy collided with the blue lightning tiger, a deafening sound erupted.
Both the blue lightning tiger and the sword energy disappeared. But after the tiger vanished, scattered traces of lightning power spread out, hitting the two of them and causing a slight paralysis, making them pause.
Minato's eyes were sharp. He had guessed this would happen when the lightning caused the paralysis, and then he rushed to the two of them at the fastest speed.
"Konoha Great Whirlwind!"
He gave each of them a powerful flying kick, sending them both flying. They crashed into a tree before stopping, but not before suffering severe internal injuries.
"Stop! Stop! We are from Root!"
As Minato was about to continue his attack, the two Anbu clearly chickened out and quickly revealed their identities.
Minato was startled to hear this. No wonder the two of them were wearing Konoha forehead protectors. So they were from Root, which meant they were Shimura Danzo's men.
After being reborn for so many years, Minato had almost forgotten about this troublemaker who loved to stir up trouble behind the scenes.
He was a truly ruthless person. In order to achieve his goal of becoming Hokage, he would stop at nothing, using any means necessary.
In his previous life, he was the only one who couldn't be redeemed.
Minato could guess why Shimura Danzo was looking for him. It must be because he had beaten up the Uchiha clansman, and Danzo had discovered his talent and wanted to recruit him.
At this thought, Minato's mind stirred. It wouldn't hurt to go and see this Shimura Danzo, to see how deep his obsession was. This would make it easier to formulate countermeasures in the future.
"Lead the way. I want to see who is inviting me. As for Root, sorry, I haven't heard of it." Minato's acting skills soared at this moment, perfectly portraying the image of a proud and arrogant genius.
Hearing this, the two Anbu gritted their teeth. Such blatant contempt. If it weren't for Lord Danzo's orders, they would have definitely taught this arrogant guy a lesson. If they couldn't, the other seniors in Root would be more than happy to do so.
"Ding! Congratulations, Host, for defeating one elite Chunin. Random reward: Fire Release development +6%."
"Ding! Congratulations, Host, for defeating one elite Chunin. Random reward: Space development +9%."
After the two of them stopped fighting, the system prompts immediately followed.
Haha, 15% development in an instant. If he had to train for this, who knows how long it would take.
Beating people up was indeed the best way. Training was secondary.
In the future, when he had nothing to do, beating people up would be the most comfortable thing.
It could not only vent his frustration but also make the enemy feel pain. It was simply the best exercise for both body and mind.
Minato followed the two Root ninjas to the Root base.
They took many detours along the way, but it was no trouble for Minato. He had already sorted out the route and memorized it.
Remembering their lair would make it more convenient to take them down in the future.
But all of this would have to wait until he became Hokage. Hmm, that would be more than ten years from now.
After arriving at the Root base, Minato saw a not-yet-old Shimura Danzo. But he still looked shady, with a bandage wrapped around his right eye.
"Who are you? What is your purpose in looking for me?" Seeing Shimura Danzo, Minato was not flustered at all. He had confidence in his heart.
"Who I am is not important. What's important is the path I will show you," Shimura Danzo said with a smile after seeing Minato. But his smile was very unsightly. He already had the face of a villain, and with a smile, it further emphasized the fact that he was up to no good.
"What do you mean?" Minato pretended not to understand.
"Minato Namikaze, join my Root. Only my Root can make Konoha strong. Only when the roots underground are strong can the trees on the ground grow even more robust. Root needs your participation. I am the true candidate to lead Konoha."
Holy crap, Shimura Danzo is quite the smooth talker. But unfortunately for him, I'm not a 9-year-old kid. I know all about your dirty deeds. Trying to fool me? Not in this lifetime, not even in the next.
"You mean you want to be Hokage?" Minato pretended to scratch his head, looking very confused.
"You could say that. What do you think? Will you consider joining me?" Shimura Danzo thought his speech was brilliant. Wouldn't it be easy to fool a kid not even 10 years old?
Although this kid's strength was good, he had been in the Ninja Academy all this time. Shimura Danzo didn't believe he understood the four words "the treachery of the human heart."
