Chapter 99 Don't worry, I'm very strong!
"Bam—!"
Kunai rained down from the sky, some of them even wrapped with explosive tags.
With a loud bang, the luxurious carriage was reduced to fragments that flew everywhere.
The horses, now freed from the carriage's restraints, were frightened and scattered and fled.
A group of ninjas wearing masks and without any village insignia approached the smoke from the explosion.
They were Danzo's subordinates, the Root of Konoha.
The real Root organization's plan was to lure the enemy away from their stronghold, use bandits to lure away Sakumo Hatake, and then have their elite troops surround and kill Tetsuya Chiba.
"Go check if Chiba Tetsuya is dead."
A leader-like figure gave an order to the Root ninja beside him, who quickly walked towards the smoke from the explosion.
"Boom--!"
"Whoosh!"
With a muffled thud, a figure flew out of the smoke and crashed heavily to the ground.
The person who flew out was the Root ninja who had just gone into the smoke to check on Chiba Tetsuya's life or death.
At this moment, he had become a corpse; his spine was broken, as if it had been kicked.
The Root ninjas immediately tensed up, and the smoke was instantly blown away by a sudden gust of wind.
A young man dressed in fine clothes appeared before the group of Root ninjas.
"Hey, you guys, you've damaged my carriage, how are you going to compensate me?"
"He's still alive?! All of you, attack him and kill him!"
In an instant, all the Root ninjas attacked together.
"Wind Release: Great Breakthrough!"
Fire Release: Great Flame Bullet!
"Earth Release: Earth Rising Spear!"
"Water Escape..."
In an instant, all sorts of escape techniques came crashing down on Tetsuya, creating a truly spectacular scene.
But the next moment, Tetsuya's entire body erupted with blue lightning, and his figure vanished instantly.
"That's Lightning Release Chakra Mode!"
The Root squad leader immediately recognized the ninjutsu as the Lightning Release Chakra Mode from the Hidden Cloud Village in the Land of Lightning.
This thing is so famous, and their Root intelligence agency is one of the best in the ninja world. Such distinctive ninjutsu simply cannot escape the eyes of Root ninjas.
"Wow, you know your stuff! How about I treat you to some duck necks?"
Tetsuya's mocking laughter rang out, followed by...
"Give me a duck neck!"
The root squad leader only saw a blue lightning bolt rushing towards him. The next moment, he felt as if he were flying, and then...
That was the end of it; the moment he was hit by Tetsuya's duck neck, his death was already sealed.
The squad leader's death did not cause panic among the other Root ninjas; instead, they began analyzing the intelligence.
"The intelligence was wrong. Chiba Tetsuya is not an ordinary person."
"Lightning Release Chakra Mode, he knows this technique, he's very likely from Kumogakure!"
"Mission changed, new mission: make sure this important information is relayed back!"
"Yoto, take the intelligence and leave. We'll cover you; you must bring the intelligence back to Lord Danzo."
Without hesitation, the Root ninja codenamed Otoko decisively chose to retreat, while the others stayed behind to hold off Tetsuya.
"Run? You think you can outrun me, Blue Lightning? Thunder Cleaver!"
Tetsuya activated his ninjutsu again, charging straight towards the fleeing Root ninja.
"Cover Yi Hu!"
"Earth Release: Earth Rising Spear!"
"Fire Release: Great Flame Bullet!"
"Wind Release, Great Breakthrough..."
Several Root ninjas, undaunted by the threat of death, stood directly in front of Tetsuya.
"Get out of the way! If you don't, you'll die!"
With a single strike of the Lightning Blade, he instantly killed a Root ninja who was blocking his way.
The others quickly dispersed and unleashed human ninjutsu to intercept Tetsuya.
However, their resistance was futile, like a mantis trying to stop a chariot or an ant trying to shake a tree.
Tetsuya showed no mercy, elbowing one of the kids directly.
He got his head split open by the elbow.
"Damn it, our attacks are not working on him. We need to find a way to break through the Thunderclap on his body."
"Let me do it."
A Root ninja stepped forward, raised his hands, and immediately a large number of black insects flew out.
"Parasitic insects? Ninjas of the Aburame clan?"
"Secret Technique: Insect Jade!"
With a wave of his hand, the Root ninja of the Aburame clan summoned a large number of black insects that coalesced into a ball and charged toward Tetsuya.
These parasitic insects devour the target's chakra, thus breaking through the opponent's defenses.
Unfortunately, Tetsuya was still just a little short.
"Fire Release: Great Dragon Fire Technique!"
The chakra surged, and in an instant, the surrounding air became scorching hot.
"Roar--!"
Flames erupted, transforming into a fire dragon.
The fire dragon roared and swallowed the insect jade whole, instantly turning the insects to ashes.
"Since you're so eager to die, then I'll send you to see the Six Paths Elder first."
Tetsuya clapped his hands together, mobilizing his chakra once more.
The electrons in the surrounding air became violent.
"Lightning Release: Kirin!"
"Boom! Roar—!"
The muffled thunder roared like a giant beast, and surging lightning coalesced into a colossal beast that swooped down from the clouds, unleashing a devastating attack.
"Bam—!"
The thunder, like a divine punishment, suddenly descended, engulfing all the Root ninjas who were blocking Tetsuya's path.
They didn't even have time to utter a cry of pain before they were choked like chickens, or perhaps they did cry out, but their voices were as insignificant as the fluttering of mosquitoes' wings, utterly negligible in the face of Thor's roar.
Hearing the commotion behind him, the fleeing Yi Hu was terrified, and cold sweat had already soaked his back.
But he didn't dare turn his head back, and the more he did so, the more he couldn't shake off the feeling of death.
"Shh-!"
A blue lightning bolt instantly overtook him, blocking his escape route.
"Where are you in such a hurry to go? Aren't you going to say goodbye to your teammates one last time? Never mind, I'll take you to see them!"
Tetsuya smiled and activated his ninjutsu.
"Shockingly brutal!"
A single chop to the neck finished off the Root ninja.
As for whether or not to leave one alive for questioning, Zhe had no interest in that.
After all, he had nothing to know; these guys were definitely sent by that old dog Danzo.
What's there to ask? Even if it's not true, it's perfectly fine to pin the blame on Danzo. After all, he was the first Danzo to take the blame. If he doesn't, who will?
"What a pity. If you want to kill me, you can only do so if you cannon fodder can also cheat. After all, I am a pay-to-win player."
Tetsuya smiled as he piled the bodies of these guys together.
Then he pulled the coachman out from under the rubble where the carriage had exploded.
"Okay, we're safe now. How do you feel?"
"It's alright, just a bit stuffy, but I'm used to it."
The driver patted the mud off his clothes and gave a simple, honest smile.
This wasn't the first time such an assassination attempt had occurred. Each time, Tetsuya would use Earth Release to create an underground space, placing the coachman inside to await the end of the battle.
"Mr. Chiba, are you alright?"
Realizing he had fallen for a diversionary tactic, Sakumo Hatake rushed back, fearing something might have happened to Tetsuya.
Tetsuya smiled and gave him a thumbs up.
"Don't worry, I'm fine. I'm very strong!"
