Chapter 263: Burned till not even a cell is left! Almost became a villain?
The other Root member, in the end, couldn't survive the second Hard Vortex Water Blade!
He was directly torn into several pieces by the rampaging water!
As for Owl, a Quasi-Kage strongman, he completely lost consciousness and fainted under the violent attack!
"Mikoto! Seal Owl's Chakra!"
"I'll go dispose of these Anbu corpses!"
If it were other Konoha Ninja, Fujiwara Tetsuya would most likely bring them back to Konoha if he encountered them.
Even if they weren't placed in the Hero's Cemetery, at the very least, their bodies would be buried in the forest outside Konoha, allowing them to return to their Roots after death.
However, the floating corpses before him were all Root members! His enemies!
After creating several Shadow Clones, Fujiwara Tetsuya spent a full half an hour.
He finally found all thirty-plus Root corpses in the ruins caused by the battle and pieced them together.
"Mikoto!"
"Hmm! What is it, Tetsuya-kun!"
"Next, I'll have to trouble you to handle this!"
"Burn all these guys' bodies!"
Due to the barren terrain, within dozens of miles, it was basically all desolate mountains and dense forests.
Furthermore, the eastern region of the Land of Rain had just been ravaged by the Konoha Ninja army not long ago.
Forget about people; not even a decent beast could be found.
Currently, Fujiwara Tetsuya had plenty of time to destroy the bodies and erase all traces.
The great fire ignited by the Great Fireball Jutsu lasted for a full two hours.
Midway, Fujiwara Tetsuya, fearing it wouldn't burn cleanly and leave behind Root member remains, specifically ran two miles away, cut down several ancient trees, and added them to the fire.
It wasn't until all the flames were extinguished and Fujiwara Tetsuya could no longer extract any bone-like tissue from the ashes.
Only then did he use Water Release Ninjutsu to thoroughly wash away the bone ashes and plant ashes.
Perhaps, it wouldn't take several years; at most, one to two years.
The place where the great fire had just raged would grow into a lush green forest, nourished by such fertile nutrients.
"Mikoto! Are you alright!"
"By the way! Were my methods a bit too harsh!"
Looking at Uchiha Mikoto's pale face, Fujiwara Tetsuya was slightly abashed.
After all, Uchiha Mikoto was a girl.
The scene of burning the corpses just now was indeed a bit much.
"I'm sorry, Mikoto! I didn't think it through!"
After comforting Uchiha Mikoto, Fujiwara Tetsuya casually picked up Owl, who was still unconscious.
Together with Uchiha Mikoto, he slowly walked towards the east.
If the intelligence he heard a few days ago was correct, Danzo had only brought less than forty subordinates with him to Amegakure this time.
After annihilating the Root members who came to assassinate him, Danzo now had at most two to three subordinates left by his side.
Should he try to annoy Danzo before he returned to the Land of Fire?
..."Cough~"
Eastern border of the Land of Rain! Deep within a certain cave!
Hearing the movement inside the cave, Fujiwara Tetsuya slowly walked over, carrying kirimaru.
"Owl! You're finally awake!"
"I was just thinking, if you hadn't woken up after I finished eating, I'd have to use Anbu methods on you!"
"Luckily, you woke up just in time! I just finished dinner!"
The dog mask on Owl's face had long been stomped to pieces by Fujiwara Tetsuya and thrown into the rock crevices along the way.
Now, Owl could be said to be displaying his face completely and unreservedly before Fujiwara Tetsuya.
"Hmph~ Fujiwara Tetsuya!"
"This time! You win again!"
"However! You've also spent time in Anbu, and served as a Squad Leader in Anbu!"
"You should know how firm the willpower of someone in my position is!"
"Don't even think about getting any information about Root or Lord Danzo from me!"
As he spoke, Owl's body trembled continuously.
He seemed to want to use his hands to prop up his body, which was pushed beyond its limits.
However, multiple attempts brought Owl nothing but endless despair.
"You, don't waste your energy!"
"Your arms have been crippled by me! And the Chakra pathways in your body have also been severed by my Medical Ninjutsu!"
"Strictly speaking! You are now nothing more than an ordinary person with slightly stronger willpower!"
Leniency towards an enemy is cruelty towards oneself.
As the second-in-command of Root and Danzo's right-hand man, Owl had access to far more resources and secret techniques than he did.
To be safe, Fujiwara Tetsuya had directly twisted Owl's arms into several segments during the journey.
Coupled with the damage he intentionally inflicted on Owl's pathways, Fujiwara Tetsuya estimated that even if Tsunade came, she would only stomp her feet in frustration at Owl's injuries.
"Fujiwara Tetsuya! You, you!"
"I really don't understand!"
"Why! A brat like you!"
"Would possess such terrifying strength at this age!"
"Why can you master the secret techniques of Hidden Mist and Iwagakure!"
"And! How exactly did you manage to be so ruthless! Killing fellow Village Ninja... without even batting an eye!"
"Fujiwara Tetsuya! Your existence is destined to threaten the Village's safety!"
"Don't think that killing us means this matter is over!"
"Lord Danzo... and Root! Will surely avenge us!"
"By then! Whether it's you! Or those around you!"
"You will all be devoured by the wrath of Lord Danzo! And Root!"
"Surely! Surely..."
As a Ninja, and a powerful one at that, Owl was well aware of what his current injuries meant for him.
Thirty years of diligent training, in this instant, all turned into foam, vanishing without a trace.
"Owl! You still haven't recognized reality, have you?"
"Oh! Right! Speaking of which! I just found something very interesting on you!"
"It's truly unimaginable! Owl of Root, making such a foolish mistake!"
Amidst Fujiwara Tetsuya's playful laughter, and in Owl's terrified gaze, Fujiwara Tetsuya slowly pulled out a pendant from his in arms and spread it open in his palm.
And on top of that pendant, engraved was a woman in her thirties and a gap-toothed child who looked to be only seven or eight years old.
"It seems I guessed correctly!"
"They two! Are your wife and child, right!"
"They're really cute!"
"This appearance! This temperament! Quite a few nobles must like them, right?"
"What do you say, Owl?"
For some reason, Fujiwara Tetsuya felt that at this moment, he had transformed from a victim, a righteous party, into a complete villain.
Ultimately, it was all for survival!
If Danzo, that old schemer, could just be more peaceful, and focus all his attention on screwing over the Senju, screwing over the Uchiha, and researching first hokage cells,
Why would he have to work so hard?
