Chapter 261: Hoo Hoo! The people from the Root appear again! Endless wronged souls!
Eastern Land of Rain!
Despite having instructions from Orochimaru!
After parting ways with Jiraiya, Nagato, Yahiko, and Konan!
Fujiwara Tetsuya and Uchiha Mikoto were not in a hurry to travel.
After all, this was their first time participating in the Land of Rain war,
and it was a rare moment of solitude for the two of them.
Whether it was Uchiha Mikoto, who had long since set her sights,
or Fujiwara Tetsuya, whose mind was still undecided,
neither wanted to break this peaceful and tranquil atmosphere too soon.
"Hey! Those guys behind us!"
"You've been following us for two days! It's time to show yourselves, isn't it!"
Looking at the gradually dissipating dark clouds above his head,
Fujiwara Tetsuya, who was holding Uchiha Mikoto's right arm, paused.
The moment he stopped,
he turned his head to look at the dense forest behind them,
his tone carrying an inscrutable playfulness.
"You discovered us long ago, huh!"
"Indeed! Just as the rumors say, he's a guy full of bad taste!"
As several low voices sounded,
Fujiwara Tetsuya and Uchiha Mikoto only felt a blur before their eyes.
Suddenly, over thirty figures appeared around them,
tightly encircling the two of them in the center.
"Wait a minute! You guys!"
"You're not going to tell me… you're Amegakure's Anbu?"
"And you were ordered by Hanzo to deal with me, right?"
Looking at the enemies in uniform Amegakure attire, wearing dog masks,
a hint of helplessness appeared in Fujiwara Tetsuya's eyes.
These guys probably didn't do their intelligence work properly.
Did they really think that by changing their skin,
they could pin the blame on Hanzo?
Were they trying to rub his intelligence into the ground?
"…Hmph! We were indeed sent by Lord Hanzo!"
"Our purpose is to avenge Lord Inmemaru!"
"Fujiwara Tetsuya! Prepare to die!"
"You guys! Your acting is truly terrible!"
"You probably don't know about the agreement between me and Hanzo, do you!"
"Furthermore! Even if Hanzo wanted to break the agreement,"
"if he really wanted to kill me, why would he wait until after the war to act!"
"Wouldn't that just give Konoha an excuse for nothing?"
"You guys! You're not professional!"
After a long sigh,
Fujiwara Tetsuya slowly drew the long sword from his waist.
A powerful aura instantly swept in all directions.
"Indeed! He's already broken through to the Elite Jonin level, huh!"
"To reach this level at such an age! It's truly terrifying!"
"Fujiwara Tetsuya! Even if you know we're not from Amegakure, what then?"
"You can't possibly guess our identities, can you!"
"Besides! Even if you eventually find out our identities, what can that change?"
"Because of you! Today, you are destined not to leave here alive…"
"Attack!"
The moment the masked leader made his move,
a powerful aura also rose from him,
even stronger than Fujiwara Tetsuya's!
"A Quasi-Kage?"
"Mikoto! Make sure to protect yourself!"
Looking at the more than twenty figures rushing towards him,
Fujiwara Tetsuya's eyes darkened.
Lightning Release flashed around him, and he instantly charged out!
"Lightning Release: Chidori Current!"
"Wind Release: Vacuum Wave!"
Although the opponent's intelligence was limited,
Fujiwara Tetsuya had to admit one thing:
the opponent was indeed prepared.
Moreover, to guard against the sudden damage from his Lightning Release, they had done their homework.
"Konoha-Style Swordsmanship: Eighteen Empty Strikes!"
"Demonic Illusion: Fox Heart Technique!"
"Watch her eyes! They are in the Three Tomoe form!"
A great battle was on the verge of breaking out!
Various Water Release, Wind Release, Lightning Release, Fire Release, genjutsu,
and secret techniques Fujiwara Tetsuya had never seen before,
constantly ravaged the ground beneath their feet.
Facing a newly advanced Quasi-Kage,
and over twenty Elite Chunin, Jonin, and Elite Jonin,
Fujiwara Tetsuya, relying on his transformed swordsmanship,
and powerful Water Release,
successively cut down five or six enemies.
But he was also found an opportunity by the Quasi-Kage who had been watching him,
and was constantly spitting blood from the attacks.
"Ptooey~"
"You bastards! None of you will escape today!"
"Water Release: Water Clone Technique!"
"Ninja Art: Multiple Shadow Clone Technique!"
"You bastards are just relying on your numbers, aren't you!"
"Come on! I'd like to see how you're going to kill me today!"
Although he created thirteen Shadow Clones in one go,
the strength of these Shadow Clones
was not as weak as imagined.
With his current strength, even if the strength of the Shadow Clones was equally divided,
they would at least be at the Chunin and Elite Chunin levels.
Enough to allow Fujiwara Tetsuya to alleviate his current predicament.
"Sir! This brat is too troublesome!"
"Do we need to use the clan's secret technique?"
Watching two more comrades die at Fujiwara Tetsuya's hands,
everyone's gaze turned towards the Quasi-Kage man leading them.
"Leave a small squad to prevent this brat from escaping!"
"The others! Prioritize eliminating this brat's Shadow Clones!"
"As for this brat's main body, leave it to me for now!"
"Yes!"
"Ninja Art: Shadow Imitation Technique!"
"Ninja Art: Mind Transfer Jutsu!"
"Ninja Art: Super Beast Imitating Drawing: Hawk Hunt!"
..."You guys are Konoha Ninja!"
"Who sent you here!"
Watching his Shadow Clones being defeated one by one by the Nara, Yamanaka, Kurama… these Konoha Shinobi Clan Ninja,
Fujiwara Tetsuya's eyes completely darkened.
These past two days, he had guessed many things:
for example, the Bounty Station, Kusagakure Village, and even Inmemaru's former subordinates! …and so on and so forth!
But the one thing he hadn't expected was that
the people who came to assassinate him were actually Konoha Ninja?
"You're from Root?"
"Fukurou! I didn't expect you to advance to the Quasi-Kage level in such a short time…"
Feeling the man in front of him pause slightly,
Fujiwara Tetsuya instantly understood.
His guess was not wrong!
This person in front of him was indeed his former opponent!
Fukurou, Root's second-in-command!
And those people were probably the forces Danzo had accumulated again over the past two years!
However, what Fujiwara Tetsuya couldn't understand was,
why Danzo had to make a move against him at this critical juncture.
Had he just recovered some strength and thought he was capable again,
wanting to completely eliminate him, this brat who had repeatedly defied him, before he grew even stronger?
Or was it that
Danzo had reached an agreement with Hanzo, or a certain faction in Amegakure,
and he was being used as a sacrifice for the armistice and alliance between Amegakure and Konoha?
Then,
if that was the case,
was this matter something Danzo decided unilaterally,
or had he informed Hiruzen Sarutobi about it?
Had he sought the approval of Hiruzen Sarutobi or the Konoha Higher-Ups?
"Fukurou! You bastards!"
"I don't care whether the old geezer Danzo or someone else is behind this operation!"
"In short! You shouldn't have appeared before my eyes again!"
Fujiwara Tetsuya was enraged! Truly enraged!
The chilling killing intent almost materialized,
and in the endless shadows, thousands of vengeful spirits seemed to be howling.
Since the conflict with Root,
although he had repeatedly retaliated,
in the very end,
he had always left a way out for the Root members.
But now! Fujiwara Tetsuya had changed his mind!
Perhaps he was wrong from the beginning!
If, from the start, he had killed all the Root members who came to trouble him,
perhaps he wouldn't have these annoying problems now!
How to face the enemy! Only by killing!
