"Whoosh." Countless insects swarmed out of Aburame Neri's body, crawling toward the dead ninja and continuously collecting his body tissues.

Neri's gaze toward Naruto became increasingly kind.

He is gentle to his own people, but ruthless to ninjas outside Konoha.

Slaughter the tavern.

To go to such lengths to complete the mission is truly characteristic of a rooted leader.

It seems that Naruto has integrated into the Root organization at an astonishing speed.

Lee Locke felt a pang of pity, sighed, and followed behind the avocado Nere, quietly listening to the cold sound of a knife brushing against her neck.

Although he had seen blood in previous missions, this was the first time he had experienced such a cruel and ruthless ninja world.

These people were killed simply because they might pose a potential threat.

Is this the "culture" of our roots?

Those villagers who lived a peaceful life probably never imagined that Konoha, which everyone saw as prosperous and peaceful, would have such a dark and ruthless department.

It's not that life is peaceful and idyllic, but rather that someone is bearing the burden.

Cruelty is always the main theme of the ninja world.

Lee Rock's resolve suddenly wavered.

Am I really capable of doing these things?

He looked at Naruto.

The latter remained as elegant as ever, his long sword tracing graceful arcs as he relentlessly reaped lives.

Strangely, the conversation inside the tavern continued.

These ninjas were completely unaware that death was approaching.

"Since I've decided to follow Naruto, I'll stick to it." Rock Lee thought to himself.

He could sense Naruto's great ambition.

That was absolutely beyond anyone's imagination.

Without my help, it would definitely be much more difficult.

Naruto was his mentor.

Without him, there would be no Rock Lee as we know him today.

......

After Rock Lee and Nene Aburame left, Naruto felt relieved and went on a killing spree.

The blade sliced ​​through, and soon, bloodstains appeared on the necks of all the ninjas.

Naruto noticed that many insects were gnawing on parts of the ninjas' bodies, carrying away their tissues like an army and disappearing from sight.

"Insect Face is actually interested in body tissues? Does she like doing human research?" Naruto was stunned for a moment, and felt like he had met a kindred spirit.

He slowly sheathed his knife; the tavern was now awash in blood.

Strictly speaking, the information tavern was not Naruto's target.

However, considering that the rogue ninja organization is deeply rooted in this area, it must have some connection with the tavern.

Unexpected events may occur during the mission.

Therefore, the best option is to kill them all.

Such a choice may be cruel and heartless.

But just like the persona Naruto established.

Being kind to others is being cruel to yourself.

His warmth is reserved only for "his own people".

"Click." Naruto sheathed his sword, his expression calm.

The blood at their feet quickly filled the tavern.

The air was thick with the smell of blood.

"Click." The door opened, and a ninja walked in, his boiling chakra drawing attention.

"Jonin?" Naruto's lips curled into a smile. "Looks like this is getting interesting."

As expected, a Jonin was stationed behind this tavern.

"you!"

Seeing his hard-earned intelligence tavern destroyed, the Jonin's expression was filled with murderous intent, and his mind was filled with only the thought of killing Naruto.

He kept thinking about which force was so arrogant.

A faction that can survive for several years must have a dense network of relationships.

Despite its remote location, the information tavern has cooperated with many forces and obtained intelligence through exchanges with rogue ninjas.

It served as an intelligence relay station.

This tavern has extremely close ties with Konoha's Root organization; in fact, it could be said that the tavern is a small part of Root's powerful intelligence network.

In other words.

Unbeknownst to Naruto, he had weakened the Root organization's strength.

of course.

Naruto was completely unaware of all this.

Even if he knew all this beforehand, he would still take action.

"Bang." In an instant, he and the Jonin both disappeared from each other's sight using the Body Flicker Technique.

The two kunai clashed, sparking dazzling flames.

The power and numbness in his arm filled the Jonin with immense fear.

The murderous aura immediately subsided by half.

Where did this monster come from? Could he be a Jonin as well?

What's a Jonin doing here?

He was puzzled, even fearful.

The first thought that came to mind was not to fight, but to run away.

Sensing the other party's fear, Naruto sneered disdainfully.

"Bang." Naruto kicked the Jonin away, used Shunpo to get behind him, and punched out hard with his right fist.

"Hiss." The fear of death caused the Jonin's adrenaline to surge, awakening his fighting instincts. He quickly formed hand seals and used his water clone to escape.

"Water Dragon Bullet Technique." He used the Body Flicker Technique to appear behind Naruto.

The hand seals are complete.

He cupped his hand towards his mouth!

"boom."

A torrent of water gushed from his mouth, smashing through the tables and chairs in front of him with tremendous force, and swept towards Naruto.

"Just an ordinary Jonin." Naruto shook his head.

It's no exaggeration to say that the strength of Konoha's Jonin is indeed far superior to that of Jonin from smaller ninja villages.

This ninja probably couldn't even withstand a few punches from Guy.

"What weak ants." The Jonin suddenly heard a low murmur in his ear.

The next moment his pupils contracted, and the hairs on his body stood on end. Before he could even turn his head, a tremendous force struck him from his right side.

"Bang." His body flew backward like a cannonball, smashing through the tavern wall.

"Crack." The ground suddenly cracked.

He stood up in pain, clutching his lower back, and watched in horror as Naruto approached.

"Hado One: White Lightning".

After a blinding white light, the wall exploded, creating an area large enough for several people to pass through.

Naruto leisurely passed through the wall and stood in front of the Jonin, his gaze disdainful and arrogant.

A terrifying sense of oppression washed over him, and even the Jonin's hand gripping the kunai trembled slightly.

"Damn it, who is this guy? Why does he give off this oppressive feeling? I'm going to die, I'm going to die."

He staggered to his feet.

Taking deep breaths, my chest heaving.

A sharp pain shot through his lower back and abdomen, and he couldn't help but back away.

In just one exchange, he was shocked by Naruto's Shunpo speed.

He knew he was no match for Naruto.

Seeing the Jonin's obvious fear, Naruto said softly:

"To show weakness directly in battle, it must be very difficult for you to fight."

"In that case, leave one arm behind and run away like a dog."

Chapter 134 What a terrifying guy!

If he fights recklessly, this Jonin might have a chance of survival.

However, he had been out of combat for too long, and he was merely a rogue ninja from a small ninja village, so his overall strength could only be considered that of a low-ranking Jonin.

Hearing Naruto's arrogant words, the Jonin stared intently at Naruto through the smoke and dust, his eyes bloodshot.

This familiarity reminded him of that lingering figure from his memory.
