Konoha: I, Uchiha, am brimming with positive energy

Chapter 20: Taking Action at the Roots (Please continue reading)

"Let's take a break."

After Kakashi finished speaking, he threw down his ninja sword and sat down on the ground.

He's starting to feel the strain; after all, he's only six years old, and his stamina and chakra are already at their peak.

"Your swordsmanship has improved very quickly; I almost used my full strength just now."

Kakashi wasn't lying about this; he wouldn't stoop so low as to curry favor with his employer for a small reward for a mission. Just now, he used Lightning Release to increase speed and Wind Release to unleash sharp slashes without holding back at all.

However, all of them were blocked by Uchiha Yoichi, who also wrapped his ninja sword with lightning bolts as thick as a finger.

Although Wind Release counters Lightning Release, Uchiha Yoichi is also very strong. If Kakashi tries to use Wind Release to counter Lightning Release and shatter the lightning on the opponent's ninja sword, then Uchiha Yoichi will turn around and bully him with his strength.

Although Uchiha Yoichi's swordsmanship lacked specific techniques, it was fast and powerful. Combined with the extreme speed of his Lightning Release Chakra Mode, Kakashi felt that if Yoichi retaliated, he would definitely not be able to withstand it and would have to use ninjutsu to counterattack.

"Let's take a break, eat something to replenish our energy, and continue later."

Uchiha Yoichi wrote on the paper, then took the food box, which was full of nutritious food.

Fresh produce, freshly grilled meat, various fruits, and some medicinal soups that weren't too bad in taste.

Uchiha Yang didn't care about money. In a world with extraordinary power, acquiring money was incredibly easy; those nobles who hoarded money were all helping him hoard it.

Kakashi didn't stand on ceremony. He had been mooching off Uchiha Yoichi's food purchases for the past few days. However, he was also a little curious. Although ninjas weren't short of money, was it really okay to spend so lavishly?

However, just as Kakashi was about to enjoy his meal, a note was suddenly handed to him: "Your father is also very good at making money, it's just that your family is frugal."

This guy.

Kakashi felt helpless. He strongly suspected that Uchiha Yoichi was a member of the Yamanaka clan, otherwise, the fact that Yoichi could respond to his thoughts these past few days was terrifying.

After finishing their meal and while resting, Kakashi suddenly spoke up, "Are you aware of the rumors circulating in the village?"

"You're talking about the rumors that I used my teammates, or even deliberately abandoned them, right? I understand."

Kakashi paused for a moment, then continued, "Did someone tell you?"

"Well, this was told to me by my classmates from the ninja academy. If even they know about it, then probably a lot of people in the village already know. Originally, it was only spread among a small number of people, but this time it's spread way too fast."

Uchiha Yoichi naturally heard it from Kakashi's inner voice. He had basically stayed away from home and training places during this period, and only just found out about the rumors.

"Let them talk. These ignorant fools can only believe these rumors."

Kakashi was taken aback, and asked curiously, "Don't you care?"

"Why should I care about them? If they dare to say it to my face, I'll kill them. Then they'll know what happens when you have no power but a foul mouth."

"What if the person spreading the rumors is better than you?"

"Then I'll remember that. Once I'm stronger than him, I'll kill him!"

Kakashi fell silent after hearing this. He didn't think Uchiha Yoichi was joking. With his current hard work, becoming stronger was only a matter of time.

Kakashi was somewhat intimidating simply because of his improvement in swordsmanship.

A week ago, this person hadn't even mastered the basics of swordsmanship, but a week later, he was almost dominating him.

"I should also train harder myself. When I have time, I should ask my father for guidance and learn more advanced swordsmanship."

"Continue your cultivation."

Before Kakashi could finish speaking, he and Uchiha Yoichi turned their heads to look in the other direction.

Soon, three ninjas emerged from the woods, all wearing masks that did not resemble animal shapes, dressed in the attire of the Anbu (Anbu), with the leader wearing a black trench coat.

The three quickly approached Uchiha Yoichi and Kakashi. The ANBU member in the black trench coat spoke up, "Uchiha Yoichi, we are Root ninjas, and we have something to say to you!"

Upon hearing this, Kakashi knew that they were trying to get rid of him, but after seeing Uchiha Yang nod, he got up and walked to the side.

After Kakashi left, Ryoma Aburame continued, "Uchiha Yoichi, the rumors about you in the village are spreading every day, and even Root has received the news. However, none of this matters to Lord Danzo, as long as you hand over your Lightning Release Chakra Mode ninjutsu and join Root."

"Shut up."

Uchiha Yoichi removed his metal mask, then sighed. When he opened his eyes again, he already had two-tomoe Sharingan.

"The Root is indeed despicable and shameless. First, they spread rumors about me, and then they pretended to be good people and came to my door to give me advice in order to get the Lightning Release Chakra Mode in order to quell the rumors."

"Oh, so you want to absorb me into the Root organization to research the Sharingan? Let me hear what else you want to do. You're giving me some difficult tasks; if I complete them, we'll continue; if I fail, you'll still collect my remains. Truly Root!"

Upon hearing this, Ryoma Aburame's expression changed. Fortunately, he was wearing a mask, but in front of Yoichi Uchiha, it made no difference whether he wore a mask or not.

"Uchiha Yoichi, do not make malicious speculations about Root and Lord Danzo. We are the guardians in the darkness."

Zizizi!

Like a sudden, loud cry.

Suddenly, lightning crackled around Uchiha Yoichi's body, and he instantly rushed towards Aburame Ryoma and the other two.

"Uchiha Yoichi, how dare you!"

Aburame Ryoma's heart tightened. He hadn't expected Uchiha Yoichi to dare to attack them, and Uchiha Yoichi's speed was so fast!

The distance of more than ten meters was covered in an instant!

"Mushidama!"

Aburame Ryoma quickly formed hand seals, instantly releasing a cloud of insects from his body. Under his command, these insects surged towards Uchiha Yoichi like a tidal wave.

Once surrounded by the swarm of insects, they will eventually be devoured of their chakra and die.

However, the thunder suddenly intensified, and a dazzling bolt of lightning and arcs of lightning pierced through the insect sphere. Then, taking advantage of the fact that the other two Root ninjas did not have time to use ninjutsu, Uchiha Yoichi punched Aburame Ryoma hard in the face.

Click!

Bang!

With his mask shattered, Aburame Ryoma was sent flying more than ten meters by Uchiha Yoichi's punch.

The other two Root ninjas also reacted at this moment, shouting "You're asking for death!" at the same time. One of them drew his sword and slashed, while the other jumped back to prepare to use ninjutsu.

But Uchiha Yoichi wouldn't give them a chance. The lightning on his body surged again, and his speed was like lightning.

Moreover, the lightning coiled around his body could defend against ordinary attacks, and he once again repelled the two with his fists and palm strikes.

Uchiha Yoichi said coldly, "Get lost. Just seeing your Root members disgusts me. I wouldn't give you Lightning Release Chakra Mode even if you were a dog. I'll talk to Elder Kenji about this."

Uchiha Yoichi

"Go ahead and try to fight, but I'll kill you with all my might!"

Uchiha Yoichi drew his ninja sword, and the surging lightning on his body did not dissipate, but instead became even more intense.

At this moment, Kakashi Hatake also arrived. Although he hadn't heard what the two sides were saying, Kakashi was startled by Uchiha Yoichi's sudden attack.

"I will report this to Lord Danzo for attacking Root. Even if you are from the Uchiha clan, you will not escape punishment!"

Ryoma Aburame touched the wound on his face, then glanced at Kakashi. With his white hair and the similar-looking short sword, he recognized him as the son of Konoha's White Fang.

Moreover, this place isn't too far from Konoha Village, and the noise from ninjutsu would attract the attention of the Anbu.

------------------

After the three members of Root left, Uchiha Yoichi finally sat down, his body aching all over. Continuously releasing a large amount of Lightning Release chakra beyond his capacity was quite a burden.

He felt that even his muscles were somewhat damaged!

However, hearing Root's shameless idea did indeed make Uchiha Yoichi somewhat impulsive with anger.

Kakashi asked, "Are you alright? What are your plans now?"

"It's beyond my physical capacity. I should be fine after a couple of days of rest. Let's call it a day. I'm going to see the clan elders now."

Uchiha Yoichi picked up the metal mask from the ground and, before putting it on, said to Kakashi one last time, "Kakashi, the mastermind behind the rumors about me is a Root ninja. Remember what they did today; you might end up like me."
