I rely on myself

Chapter 705 Counterattack
Lie and the other six people expressed that they could not accept the situation where they would be blatantly monitored whenever they went out.

"We understand surveillance. After all, when people from other ninja villages enter our village, surveillance is inevitable. But this much is too much. After all, it is the leader of the five major ninja villages."

The first to speak was Chiyomi. She was originally very curious about Konoha, the leader of the five major ninja villages, but now she could only say that meeting it in person was not as good as hearing about it. Mizuiro also held the same opinion.

"Whenever we go out, there are almost always five or six pairs of eyes staring at us, and sometimes the number even increases. I really don't know if we should say we are honored to be treated with such a big fanfare."

Although he said it was an honor, from the sarcastic tone of Shuise's voice and the mocking look on his face you could tell it was just a joke.

"And it's not over yet. I don't know what's going on over there, but at least I can feel that those guys who are secretly watching me have murderous intent in their eyes from time to time. Because of this, I subconsciously reacted several times, and as a result, everyone around me looked at me with strange eyes."

The next person to speak was Uchiha Rei, who looked depressed as he started to complain. Kitajō Hirokazu and Mizunotsuki Shun, who were in the same group, looked at him with sympathy.

Listening to everyone's complaints, Xin turned to Jie and asked, "Teacher Jie, this won't work. Is there any solution?"

Facing the complaints of his subordinates, Jie made a decision in his heart and said, "Since Lord Lin Yuan will participate in the third round of exams in a month, I don't plan to make too much noise to avoid affecting his plan. But since the other party has come to bully us, we can't just sit there and wait for death."

Jie's words undoubtedly revealed his intention to take action. After hearing this, the six people including Lie were naturally excited, and they were also very curious about what means Jie planned to use to fight back. However, Jie kept it a secret and just asked the six people to continue to go out in a team like the previous two days. As for the rest, he left it to them.

Although they were very curious about this, the six of Lie did not continue to ask questions, but did their own things.

The next morning, it was the turn of Lie and his three group to go out. Although in reality it didn't matter whether they went out or not, the three of them were very clear that they were used as bait, so they didn't say much. They just walked on the streets of Konoha, wandering around.

Naturally, the Root Ninja's almost blatant surveillance soon reappeared, staring at the three of Lie.

The emotions were almost completely stifled, the extremely indifferent gaze, being secretly stared at by such a gaze, the three of Lie only felt a chill behind them. If they could choose, the three of them would rather the other party rush up and start fighting than it would be better now.

However, having said that, Lie and the other two are very clear about their current responsibilities. They just need to act as bait to lure the other party out, and leave the rest to Teacher Jie.

On the streets, the Root ninjas did not hide very well. At most, they were slightly camouflaged so that ordinary Konoha villagers could not find them. Anyone who had received anti-reconnaissance training could detect them.

It was obvious that they did it on purpose, just to provoke the Lies and make them take action. This way they would have a reason to kill, and they wouldn't have to worry about responsibility afterwards, although they didn't care about this at all.

After two days of testing, although Lie and his men were greatly affected, they did not act impulsively. The Roots would naturally not be disappointed about this. After all, when they made the plan, they had anticipated that this would be a long-term operation. There was still about a month left, which was enough time for them to take action.

If it were an ordinary small ninja village, they might not be able to resist. They would either have to swallow their anger or fight back but be suppressed by someone else.

But unfortunately, the Root... or more precisely, Shimura Danzo forgot one thing, that is, the premise of being able to do this is that the opponent's strength is not as good as theirs. Just when a lurking Root ninja wanted to use murderous intent to provoke Rei and the others, a figure came to his side quietly, but he was unaware.

"As the leader of the five great ninja villages, is Konoha only capable of bullying children like this? This is too shameless."

When someone's voice suddenly comes from behind without any expectation, anyone would be startled, and the Root ninjas are no exception. Their emotions have been stifled, but they are not completely devoid of instincts.

However, although this Root Ninja was startled, he reacted quickly and shouted immediately. In addition to wanting to delay time a little, he also wanted to alert his colleagues around him.

"Who are you? You are... um..."

However, it was obvious that his action had been anticipated by the other party. Before he could shout, a knife-like blow hit the back of his head with precise force, knocking him unconscious instantly.

In order to prevent the Root Ninja from making too much noise when he fell, the figure in the dark even supported the fallen Root Ninja and slowly put him down.

"Okay, now that we've solved one problem, it's pretty easy. Let's finish the rest as soon as possible."

The figure in the dark was none other than Jie. With his strength, he would not be discovered by these ordinary ninjas from the Root, and the following developments were natural.

All the Root ninjas who were monitoring did not notice the presence of Jie before the attack, so they were naturally quickly taken care of one by one, but of course their lives were not taken.

After knocking out all the Root ninjas who were monitoring him, Jie did not stay for long. After taking a look at Rei and the other three who were browsing the streets of Konoha, he went straight back to his residence.

Lie and the others also noticed that their secret surveillance had disappeared. Although they didn't know the details, they guessed that it must be the work of their own teacher Jie, so they began to browse the streets of Konoha with confidence.

As for the Root, when the agreed reporting time had passed, no one came back to report. The Root realized that something had happened to the surveillance personnel, and immediately sent out another team to investigate, and they soon found the surveillance ninjas who had been knocked unconscious.

After learning the details from them, the Root Ninjas were undecided for a moment and could only report to their leader Danzo first.

After receiving the report, Danzo's response was very simple and crude, which was to send stronger Root ninjas to carry out surveillance tasks. As long as they could find a way to find the opponent's hands and feet, they could take advantage of it to take action.

But for several days in a row, the result was nothing. Without exception, all the Root Ninjas sent out to perform surveillance missions were approached and knocked unconscious by the other side without their knowledge, no matter what means they used.

Although there was no loss of life, such a result undoubtedly showed that the other side was despising them and thought that the strength of the Root ninjas could not threaten them at all, so they let them go so indifferently. This was undoubtedly a great shame for Danzo, who single-handedly established the Root.
