In Naruto, you can become a god through gacha pulls.

"Eternal loyalty!"

May our roots live on forever!

The members' faces were solemn. Yamanaka Kaze glanced at the other three high-ranking members beside him, whose faces were filled with shock.

Yamanaka Kaze appeared particularly smug; Orochimaru's subordinates had clearly never seen anything like this before.

Every member of the root organization is a carefully cultivated, emotion-free, and extremely loyal individual—a level of management that even external countries cannot achieve!

Yamanaka Kaze carefully observed Kimimaro and the others. As leaders carefully selected by Orochimaru, they were ostensibly there to assist him in managing Root, but in reality, they were more like monitors and controls!

"Holding ulterior motives!" Yamanaka Kaze frowned slightly, but his resolve hardened once more.

"But... please rest assured, Lord Danzo, Lord Kenshin, I will definitely seize power in my own hands!"

With repeated oaths, the birth ceremony of the Roots reached a new climax!

Beneath the climax lies the opening act of a power struggle within the officialdom.

Chapter 33 Searching for Hozuki Full Moon

"After the chakra is integrated into the sword, the sword becomes the main body."

"You should follow the sword's movements, not the other way around."

"Only in this way can the power of the sword be brought to its fullest potential."

Remembering the words that Murasame Kagura had taught him, Yoriichi infused his fire chakra into his sword and swiftly sliced ​​through the steel placed before him.

The moment the flames cleaved through the steel, Deidara couldn't help but jump up.

Meanwhile, Murasame Kagura behind him smiled knowingly and with satisfaction.

"To learn this move in just one day, that's quite a talent."

"That way, I can rest assured that you can participate in the competition."

Yoriichi immediately bowed and looked at Murasame Kagura with eyes full of gratitude.

"Thank you, Master!"

Under the tutelage of this new master, the power of the ninja tool's entanglement technique increased by nearly half again.

Yoriichi smiled slightly. If it can cut through steel now, then apart from divine weapons, other ninja tools can probably be cut directly by the Kusanagi sword!

"Impressive, impressive." Bai, hiding to the side, gave a thumbs up and smiled gently.

In that case, Zabuza should be easier to rescue.

"Alright, let's get ready to go, Master." Yoriichi looked at Murasame Kagura in front of him and smiled slightly.

"Deidara, Haku, come with me."

“If they don’t sign up, they should stay here with me. After all, that place isn’t exactly safe,” Murasame Kagura’s deep voice rang out.

Deidara's hair stood on end, and he hurriedly shouted:

"I feel more dangerous being with you."

“Uncle, Deidara and I are also very strong.” Haku smiled and replied, “I am Zabuza’s bodyguard, and he is a genius of Iwagakure.”

"Really?" Murasame Kagura's eyes lit up slightly as she looked at Haku. "Zabuza? It's a pity he's like this now..."

"That's right, we're planning to go rescue him in a while!" Bai excitedly interrupted Murasame Kagura.

"Hehe...then you'd better be careful, Konoha is still quite powerful."

Yoriichi smiled slightly, "Let's go!"

"Hey!" Deidara and Haku responded instantly, following Yoriichi's footsteps and heading south.

That's the location of the Hidden Fog District. We need to cross a thick fog, so we'll need Shiro to lead the way.

......

After traversing a foggy area, Haku emerged first from the thick fog, followed by Yoriichi and Deidara.

At this time, the unregistered district was deserted, with only a few gusts of cool wind blowing through the streets, making it seem exceptionally empty and quiet.

"Holy crap, there's nobody here!" Deidara yelled, only to have his mouth suddenly covered by Haku.

Bai whispered a reminder, "Don't make a lot of noise, or you'll attract a lot of attention."

Deidara nodded hesitantly before Bai finally let go of his hand.

"Follow me." Yoriichi activated Sage Mode, and the aura around him became more pronounced. Yoriichi clicked his tongue slightly.

The chakra flow here is much stronger than at Kirigakure, which is enough to prove that there are indeed many powerful individuals here.

The thick fog created by this hidden fog actually has the ability to block chakra perception, almost second only to the fog ability of Ryuchi Cave.

Yoriichi led Deidara and Haku deeper into the alley, following the map that Murasame Kagura had given them.

About five minutes later, the group arrived at the marked location.

Before me was a dilapidated old building, its ceiling covered with cracked stones, looking as if it could collapse at any moment.

"Is this really the place?" Deidara muttered, somewhat speechless.

"Let's go in and take a look," Yoriichi said.

So everyone entered the dilapidated little house together. Inside, a sweet-looking girl dressed in a maid outfit stood at the front desk, smiling and gesturing to Yoriichi.

Yoriichi beckoned slightly, his strange gaze sweeping over the maid girl before him. Her eyes were unusually vacant, and her chakra flow was relatively disordered.

It looks like a puppet...

“No, it’s not a puppet.” Yoriichi could clearly sense the human aura emanating from him.

Were they controlled...?

"Are you all going to participate in our competition?" The girl gave a professional smile, looking like a rag doll.

"Okay, I'll participate. May these two watch?"

"Only those who participate can enter." The girl's voice was exceptionally resolute, her large, dark eyes staring directly at the group.

"Alright." Seeing that the girl didn't seem like she could be accommodating, Yoriichi simply gave up on his decision to let Deidara and the other girl in.

"Wait outside for a bit, and be careful." Yoriichi smiled slightly.

Actually, both of them are already quite strong in Kirigakure, but I still need to remind them a bit more, after all, they are subordinates I finally managed to recruit...

The girl led Yoriichi forward, and as she slightly bent her body to indicate that she was ahead, a rift in spacetime appeared in front of her.

Yoriichi stared in amazement at the rift; he had never seen such a space-time ninjutsu before, and wondered who had used it...

"Maybe I'll find out once I go in. There's no need to know too much," Yoriichi's gaze hardened as he stepped into the rift.

After all, his goal was to find Hozuki Mangetsu, and through that, to find Kisame and recruit them as his subordinates.

Yoriichi's black hair was blown up by the strong wind coming from the crack, revealing a smooth forehead. Facing the wind, he smoothly drew the Kusanagi sword, and the black trench coat behind him swayed gently.

Haku and Deidara stood at a distance, watching Yoriichi slowly penetrate the spacetime rift, then the rift suddenly closed as if it had been severed, and he disappeared from the spot.

"Speaking of which, were maid outfits available during this period of the original Naruto manga?"

"I think there is, but something feels off in the ninja environment of the Blood Mist Village."

"The boss has very unique hobbies..."

As the scene before Yuan Yi gradually began to glow, the passionate shouts of men rose from the surroundings, and the scene before him slowly transformed into a layout resembling the Roman Colosseum.

Yoriichi scanned his surroundings. The figures in the stands all looked fierce and menacing, wielding all sorts of ninja tools. They appeared to be members who had come to participate in the competition.

In the center of the arena is a ring resembling a boxing ring. The ring is relatively large, with a length and width of nearly ten meters, which is relatively friendly to opponents using long-range weapons.

Yoriichi, holding the Kusanagi sword, also walked towards the stands. His eyes constantly scanned the surroundings, and he activated Sage Mode Chakra Sensing to search for the chakra aura around him.

Although Yoriichi had never sensed Hozuki Mangetsu's aura, members of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist generally have quite strong chakra.

But Yoriichi soon failed. There was just too much chakra energy around him, everyone was very strong, and the chakra was mixed together.

"Let's take it one step at a time." Yoriichi decided to proceed cautiously and make it to the finals first.

"Hey, kid..." Just then, a shrill voice rang out.

Is the prize in Chapter 34 the Twin Blades - Flounder?

Yoriichi looked in the direction of the sound and saw a burly man slowly approaching, his eyes filled with mockery and contempt.

"Kid, where are your parents?" The burly man couldn't hold back his laughter and burst out laughing first, causing the group of equally burly men behind him to laugh as well.

Yoriichi glanced at the group with a cold expression, choosing to ignore them. He had come here to find Hozuki Mangetsu, and not wanting to waste time on them, he walked away.

Suddenly, the big man patted Yoriichi on the shoulder, and a strange voice came from behind him.

"I'm sorry, little friend, are you angry? Uncle apologizes to you!" Another burst of laughter followed.

"Hmph." Yuan's eyes narrowed slightly, a murderous intent gathering in them. He gripped the Kusanagi sword and turned it slightly, the dark lights of the arena making the sword's cold gleam shine even brighter.

"What, you're going to move again..." Before the big man could finish the word "hand," the Kusanagi sword flashed rapidly, delivering a swift slash.

Time seemed to stand still. Against the backdrop of darkness, blood gushed out like a flood, and a large, thick hand fell from among the figures to the ground.

"Ah!" The big man cried out in pain. Yoriichi flicked his elbow, and the Kusanagi sword was sheathed. He walked away indifferently to the other side.

But the burly henchmen behind him immediately became unhappy and rushed forward to capture Yoriichi.

This is an illegal competition held in an unregistered area; people can die here, right?

Yoriichi's lips curled into a slight smile, and before he even drew his Kusanagi sword, countless amounts of Fire Release chakra were already overflowing from it.

My master said that you must follow the sword's movements...

As Yoriichi pondered this, the sword at his waist was drawn again, its blade slashing out rapidly amidst a torrent of flames!

"Boom!" The sword transformed into a fire dragon tens of meters long and charged out!

Infuse your swordsmanship with the Dragon Fire Technique, and then combine it with sword energy!

With a whoosh, the burly men in front of them all looked on in utter astonishment, their eyes wide with fear of death spreading through them.

"Be careful in your next life!"
