Naruto: My Chat Group Spans History...

The members of "Root" present looked at each other in bewilderment.

Is it really that funny?

"What are you laughing at? Is it funny?" a member of the Root organization shouted.

Shinomiya Yuuki laughed so hard she almost fell over, tears welling up in her eyes.

Having finally managed to stop laughing, Shinomiya Yuuki looked up, a playful smile on her lips: "You just said it was the Hokage's order?"

"Ha, that one-eyed old worm who always hides in the shadows, coveting the light, when did he become Hokage?"

"He appointed himself? Ha! A coward who's gone mad with the desire to be Hokage, issuing orders in the Hokage's name—isn't that ridiculous, folks?"

"Hey? Why aren't you all smiling?"

Shinomiya Yuzuki looked at everyone with amusement, while the members of the Root organization were already filled with murderous intent upon hearing the first sentence.

Their eyes seemed to pierce through Shinomiya Yuuki, staring straight at death.

A Root member slowly drew his knife: "You know of Root's existence, so you should be even less likely to insult Lord Danzo."

"Originally, if you had revealed how you learned about the 'root' and how much you knew, you would still have had a chance to live."

"But now...we have no interest in interrogating a dead man!"

bass!

Before the words were finished, several people drew their swords and charged straight at Shinomiya Yuuki like thunderbolts!

"Wind Release: Wind Blade!"

"Lightning Release: Earth Walk!"

Almost simultaneously, two Root members unleashed ninjutsu, covering the sky and ground and blocking all of Shinomiya Yuuki's escape routes!

Faced with this desperate situation, Shinomiya Yuuki remained calm and composed, uttering only two words: "Wooden Dragon..."

next moment!

A giant dragon made entirely of trees burst forth from the earth with a roar!

The deafening roar of the dragon echoed through the sky.

The dragon's head lifted Shinomiya Yuuki high, and its coiled body blocked all the attacks for him.

"What is this?!"

"Didn't the intelligence indicate that he only knew hand-to-hand combat?"

Shinomiya Yuzuki stood atop the dragon's head, looking down at the stunned Root members around her.

In the blink of an eye, the massive wooden dragon coiled and annihilated all the enemies who had drawn their swords!

"what……"

The continuous screams quickly dissipated.

At this moment, only the two Root members who did not engage in close combat remained alive in the arena.

"Mu... Mudun?!"

The two were terrified.

They simply couldn't believe that Shinomiya Yuuki could use Wood Release!

And on such a massive scale!

"So this is what killing feels like..."

"It doesn't seem like a big deal."

Shinomiya Yuuki muttered softly, this was the first time in his two lifetimes that he had personally ended a life.

He seems to be adapting quite well.

"Alright, you two go down and keep your teammates company. We can't let the team fall apart."

With a wave of her hand, countless sharp wooden spears suddenly shot out from the ground.

He pierced through the bodies of the two men and hung them high in the air.

Even at the very last moment of their lives, their faces were filled with disbelief.

"I never thought I'd be a 'piercing man' one day."

Yuuki Shinomiya landed on the wooden dragon, and the moment it touched the ground, the wooden dragon and all traces left by Wood Release vanished without a trace.

Without leaving a trace.

Aside from those who also possess Wood Release, ordinary ninjas couldn't tell what killed them.

Then, Shinomiya Yuzuki, with her hands behind her back, hummed a little tune and leisurely walked towards her little house.

However, this night was destined to be anything but peaceful.

Following the incident involving the Hyuga clan, Shinomiya Yuuki's file was quickly placed on the desks of various powerful factions.

——Hyuga Clan Residence——

"Are you sure this is his file?" Hiashi Hyuga frowned, the document in his hand looking completely different from the Shinomiya Yuzuki he had seen today.

Hyuga Kiyochi bowed his head and answered affirmatively, "He was directly transferred from the Ninja Academy."

"That's really strange..."

Hiashi Hyuga was completely baffled.

"Six years at the bottom of the class..."

"Either I misjudged today, or there is a special reason behind it."

"But I think it should be the latter."

Hiashi Hyuga put the file aside: "In any case, we won't get involved in this matter; we'll just wait and see."

"If necessary, we can provide some assistance to Shinomiya Yuuki at the appropriate time."

"Yes," Hinata Seiki nodded in response.

——Hokage Building——

Hiruzen Sarutobi also received documents from the Anbu on his desk.

In this peaceful era, the fact that the Hyuga clan's home was broken into is already quite a disturbance.

Not to mention that it also involves a suspected genius, Shinomiya Yuuki, which forces the Hokage to take it seriously.

"Defeated four Hyuga Chunin in an instant using taijutsu?"

Are you sure it's him?

Hiruzen Sarutobi took a puff of his old pipe, his face full of surprise.

He was also filled with doubts, but he knew Shinomiya Yuuki and knew her status as a loser. What shocked him now was that Shinomiya Yuuki had actually hidden such strength.

The Hyuga clan specializes in Gentle Fist and is particularly adept at taijutsu, yet Shinomiya Yuuki defeated them in their area of ​​expertise.

Considering his age, before he has even graduated, this is quite an exaggeration.

"This is a record obtained from Hyuga, so there shouldn't be too many discrepancies," the Anbu replied.

"That's strange..."

Just as Hiruzen Sarutobi was lost in thought, the office door suddenly opened, and Danzo Shimura walked in with a solemn expression.

Hiruzen Sarutobi gave the ANBU member a wink, signaling him to leave the room.

After the man left, he turned to Danzo and asked, "Danzo, what brings you here?"

Danzo Shimura strolled to his desk and casually tossed a stack of documents down.

Hiruzen Sarutobi picked it up and saw that it was information about Yuuki Shinomiya.

"What's the point of showing me this?"

"I happen to have this on hand."

"Don't you think there's something strange about this Shinomiya Yuuki?" Danzo asked.

"That's true to some extent, but..."

Before Hiruzen Sarutobi could finish speaking, Danzo coldly interrupted him, "This person has a close relationship with the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, and it seems he is hiding a secret. I think he should be taken back for interrogation."

Hiruzen Sarutobi frowned. "This is unnecessary. I will speak with him myself tomorrow."

Danzo Shimura, however, disagreed: "Hiruzen, you're always so indecisive!"

"This concerns the safety of the Nine-Tails' Jinchūriki. Do you want the Nine-Tails' rampage to repeat itself?"

Danzo's righteous words left Hiruzen Sarutobi's expression uncertain as he took a deep drag on his pipe.

Finally, he said in a deep voice, "Let's take this a step back. After all, he is Naruto's friend. We don't need to make things too tense."

Danzo Shimura narrowed his eyes, a hint of mockery flashing in them: "I knew you'd say that."

"But you don't need to wait. I've already sent someone to 'invite' him. The truth will soon come out."

After saying this, Danzo turned to leave.

Bang!

Hiruzen Sarutobi suddenly flew into a rage and slammed his fist on the table.

"Danzo! Do you even respect my existence as Hokage?!"

Danzo Shimura paused, but did not reply.

Hiruzen Sarutobi stared at his retreating figure, and made a decision in his heart:

"From this day forward, your position as Hokage's assistant is hereby revoked, and your 'Root' organization is hereby disbanded."

"Danzo, you are not young anymore, and it is not appropriate for you to interfere in affairs too much. The future of Konoha should be entrusted to those outstanding young people."

"I will send someone to take over 'Root' tomorrow. You should prepare for the handover."

"Also, release them immediately upon returning. Don't make me personally come to their door to demand their return."

At this moment, Hiruzen Sarutobi displayed an unusual toughness.

Danzo Shimura whirled around, his eyes filled with disbelief: "Hiruzen, you're going to treat me like this just because of someone of unknown origin?"

"He's different; he's Naruto's only friend."

Hiruzen Sarutobi turned and looked up at the bright moon in the night sky.

"I promised Minato I would take good care of Naruto, but I broke my promise..."

"As Naruto's friend, Shinomiya Yuuki has been by his side for many years and is practically his brother."

"If something happens to him, how can I face Naruto?"

"How am I supposed to face Minato and the others after I go down there?!"

Danzo Shimura was so angry that his face turned ashen.

It was originally just a random arrest operation.

But I never expected it to cause such a strong backlash!

He understood that Hiruzen Sarutobi had been looking for an opportunity to restrain himself, but he hadn't expected it to happen so quickly.

In the end, Danzo Shimura left with a cold laugh and angrily departed.

Returning to the eerie "Roots" organization base,

Before Danzo could catch his breath,

One of his men brought another piece of "good news".

"Lord Danzo, the twelve-person team we sent to capture Shinomiya Yuuki has been out of contact for half an hour."

Upon hearing this, Danzo's vision went black, and he almost fainted from anger.

Two Jonin and ten Chunin were dealing with a kid who hadn't even graduated from the Ninja Academy, and yet they still made a mistake?

"A bunch of useless trash!"

"Recall those useless bastards! Mission canceled!"

"I can't confront Hiruzen Shinomiya directly," Danzo Shimura ordered. Hiruzen Sarutobi had clearly stated his intention to protect Yuuki Shinomiya, so he couldn't afford a direct confrontation for the time being.

This matter had to be put on hold for the time being.

"Yes, sir!"

The men took the order and left.

Less than ten minutes later, the "Root" member returned in a panic.

"This is terrible, Lord Danzo! They're all dead!"

Danzo had just poured himself a cup of hot tea when he heard this terrible news, and the teacup shattered in his hand.

He glared at his subordinate: "What did you say?"

"None of the twelve who went to capture Shinomiya Yuuki survived!"

"The last place they appeared was not Shinomiya Yuzuki's residence, but the Forest of Death, as if someone deliberately lured them in and killed them."

"Take me there! Now!" Shimura Danzo suddenly stood up.

Soon after, Danzo Shimura led a large group of "Root" members to the Forest of Death.

What came into view were twelve corpses lying on the ground, a truly gruesome sight.

However, for Danzo, this was just a minor incident.

His face was ashen as he stepped forward to examine the body carefully.

After examining him, his pupils suddenly contracted:

"Wood Release?!"
