Sunny and cheerful Konoha Genin

"What the hell is this thing?!" The ninjas of the mobile team didn't expect that so many tree roots would pop out from the thick fog in front of them. They were caught off guard and were all terrified.

Seeing that the situation was not good, they no longer cared about anything else and turned around and retreated quickly.

And Yuina was very fast. She had reached the safe area when they just started to retreat. Looking back, in just a short moment, the tree roots had swept towards the ninjas who had no time to retreat like lightning, and were within reach in the blink of an eye!

"Ahhhh!"

"Why is it so fast?!"

"Be careful, don't get hit! Otherwise you'll end up like Yamada and the others!"

Seeing the tree roots getting closer and closer, the ninjas of the mobile team were terrified.

This weird tree root is so fast!

There is not even time to print.

Swish-!

At this moment, a dazzling knife light suddenly flashed, like a meteor across the night sky, illuminating their faces!

It was Shisui. When he noticed that the team members were in trouble, he took action without hesitation!

The specially made ninja sword in his hand was extremely sharp, and when he swung it, the sword light flashed continuously!

In just a moment, all the tree roots that were originally rushing towards the ninjas were cut off by him!

"Okay, so strong!"

"Is this the power of Shunshin Shisui?"

"No wonder..."

Shisui's sudden outburst made everyone breathe a sigh of relief.

I couldn't help but feel a little more grateful for surviving the disaster.

"Such a powerful ninja, luckily he is our teammate!"

However, more tree roots seemed to be stimulated and surged out from the depths of the thick fog, like an endless tide, pressing towards them in an overwhelming manner!

Faced with such a large number of extremely ferocious tree root attacks, Shisui couldn't help but frown.

He waved the long sword in his hand to resist the attack of the tree roots while retreating continuously, shouting loudly: "Everyone listen up! Gather together quickly, take care of each other, pay attention to your own defense, and then retreat in an orderly manner. Don't leave anyone alone!"

Hearing Shisui's shout, the rest of the Mobile Team ninjas responded, "Okay! We got it!"

One of the ninjas, who was tall and strong, stepped forward and shouted, "I'm good at Taijutsu, so let me be the last one to leave!"

"I'll perform a defensive ninjutsu!"

Following a loud shout, another ninja quickly formed hand seals, muttered something, and a powerful chakra wave burst out from him.

Immediately afterwards, a transparent chakra shield appeared in front of everyone.

"Watch me! Wind Blade!" Another ninja was not to be outdone. He clasped his hands together and swung them forward suddenly. A sharp wind blade whizzed out and slashed straight at the tree roots that were attacking suddenly.

The ninjas came together and cooperated closely with each other to start to stabilize their position. They were well-trained and powerful ninjas. They were just caught off guard because of the sudden attack they had never seen before.

Now that they had realized what was happening, they immediately displayed their due fighting qualities.

I saw attacks continuously falling on those tree roots, sparks flew and wood chips flew everywhere. Although there were many tree roots, the ninjas worked together to resist and were unable to break through the defense line.

At this time, Shisui, holding a ninja sword, rushed in from the other side like a ghost. His movements were extremely agile, and in the blink of an eye he had arrived next to the bodies of several killed ninjas.

"Shisui! He actually wanted to bring the body back!"

A ninja noticed this scene and was immediately moved.

This is so reliable!

"Cover him quickly! There are too many of these strange tree roots!"

"Everyone! Work harder!"

Shisui quickly took out the sealing scroll, sealed the bodies, and then ran towards the safe area as fast as possible.

At this moment, there was a sharp sound of breaking through the air, and a deep red tree root that was completely different from the other tree roots rushed towards Shishui like lightning!

Not only is this tree root unusual in color, its speed and power are more than twice as fast as ordinary tree roots!

not good!

Although Shisui couldn't see what was happening behind him.

But that sharp voice and the unprecedented sense of crisis made him feel like he was falling into an ice cellar!

Can't avoid it!

The combat instinct he had accumulated over the years told him this.

Going to be hit!

It seemed that Shisui had no time to dodge, and the sharp tree root was about to pierce him!

when!

The tip of the wind-powered tree root suddenly stopped just one centimeter away from the water stop, as if it had hit an invisible wall.

At the same time, circles of tiny black words suddenly spread out on Shisui's body. These words were intertwined like a spider web, forming an extremely solid barrier that blocked the fatal blow!

"It's actually your sealing technique! When was it written down?" Yuina, who was standing far away and was ready to help, recognized the ninjutsu that was in effect in front of her at a glance. Her face was full of astonishment, and she quickly turned her gaze to Ito Toru beside her and asked.

Ito Toru shrugged slightly, with a helpless look on his face, and explained: "I prepared this for him at the beginning just to be prepared, but I didn't expect it to come in handy."

"So, I'm still very strong, right?"

"...As far as sealing techniques are concerned, it is indeed very powerful, but the enemy's information is unknown, so you'd better not take any risks."

"I know, I know."

Ito Toru sighed helplessly.

I feel like I'm being severely disciplined...

Yukina held his shoulders and said, "Don't even think about leaving my sight."

Even more alike!

While they were talking, Shisui seized this fleeting opportunity, successfully freed himself from the entanglement of the tree roots that followed him like a shadow, and successfully returned to a relatively safe area.

"call--"

He let out a long sigh, and his tense nerves finally relaxed a little, but at the same time he did not forget to remind others who had not had time to retreat.

"Everyone, pay attention! The attack range of these tree roots does not extend infinitely. They have a certain limited distance!" Shisui adjusted his breathing and shouted loudly to the other ninjas around him.

"Ah yes!"

"Go to Captain Shisui first!"

After hearing Shisui's reminder, everyone reacted as if awakened from a dream and began to retreat in an orderly manner.

Soon, they all retreated to a safer location and were temporarily out of danger.

The tree roots that originally produced the thick fog slowly retracted.

Everything was quiet again, as if nothing had happened.

The Hidden Mist Village shrouded in white fog was still quiet.

But this time, no one dared to underestimate the seemingly peaceful village.

"What on earth are those..."

Even Shisui was a little shocked.

They didn't even see the real person behind the wave of attacks they just suffered.

And the deep red tree root that appeared later represented that the unknown enemy in the fog had even more powerful means of attack!

"Everyone take a break first."

"After Minato and the others arrive, report the situation here to them."

Toru Ito actually had some guesses in his mind, but it would be better not to speak them out for now.

After all, in the original work, during the final battle of the Fourth Ninja World War, the Ten-Tails transformed into a sacred tree and created a large number of strange monsters.

And the shadow of the giant tree in the Hidden Mist Village...

Could it be something similar to the sacred tree created by Black Zetsu? ?

Of course, these are just speculations at this point.

Toru Ito chose to wait and see.

Not long after, the troops led by Minato also arrived.

Toru Ito told him the situation here.

"You mean, the entire Kirigakure is now covered in white fog, and there are tree roots that will actively attack?"

"Yes."

"Well……"

Namikaze Minato frowned slightly and stroked his chin in thought.

"How could this happen?"

For a moment, he didn't know how to plan his next action.
