Sunny and cheerful Konoha Genin

At this moment, the thick fog that had originally shrouded the gate of the Hidden Mist Village has completely dissipated.

There was a foul smell in the air.

Large patches of tree roots spread out on the ground, entangled with each other, with various roots intertwined, and some white bones vaguely visible among them.

Those are human bones.

Some monsters that looked like insects but were the size of humans and covered with white bone armor were lying on the ground in groups.

They are so densely packed that at a glance, there are probably hundreds of them!

It looks both disgusting and creepy.

"What kind of monsters are these..." Mei Terumi frowned deeply.

"How did the Hidden Mist Village become like this?"

"I don't know either." Namikaze Minato shook his head: "But this is probably the work of the mastermind behind this."

"Let me clean this up!"

Biwa Juzang walked out.

His face was as gloomy as water.

"Yakura, that guy, actually ruined the whole village into this state!"

The veins on his arms were bulging!

He raised the beheading sword and swung it with a fierce wind, killing forward!

"Hey! Juuzou!"

Man Yue thought he was too impulsive, but still transformed into a stream of water and followed him!

rustle……

Those insect monsters that were originally lowering their heads as if hibernating, noticed someone coming to kill them, and raised their heads one after another. Red light appeared in their eye sockets wrapped in pale bones.

"Drink!"

Biwa Juzang was extremely strong. With just one slash of his sword, he cut the monster in half!

At the same time, several insect monsters leaped up from the side, but were pierced by the water flow!

"Calm down, Juzo! Don't be impulsive. You're rushing too fast and I can't keep up. I can't completely protect your safety!" While speaking, Mangetsu Kizuki rushed to Juzo Biwa with a serious face. There were small streams of water surrounding his body.

This is his bloodline limit!

"Yeah...I know."

At this time, Biwa Juzo's eyes were bloodshot, his teeth were tightly biting his lips, and the veins on his forehead were prominent.

He was obviously suppressing the immense anger in his heart.

"I just didn't expect that our former village would become like this..."

His voice was like the growl of a wild animal.

Just at this moment, the tangled tree roots that were originally lying quietly on the ground suddenly made strange movements.

There was a gurgling sound, and the seemingly delicate roots began to tremble slightly. Looking closely, you can see that small bulges gradually appeared on the roots, moving slowly along the roots, like blood vessels transporting nutrients.

!!!

Seeing this, Qing realized that there might be some kind of change, so he immediately rolled his eyes without hesitation!

In just a moment, he saw through the entire structure.

"This is--" His pupils shrank, and then he shouted loudly: "Not good! Those roots are transporting chakra and converging in a certain direction! We must find a way to stop it quickly!"

"I come!"

Hearing this, Mei Terumi made a prompt decision, quickly formed seals with both hands, and shouted: "Boiling Release: Skillful Mist Technique!"

In an instant, a thick pink mist gushed out of her mouth, like a burning flame, spreading around at an extremely fast speed, covering the entire ground in the blink of an eye.

As the tree roots that were still moving came into contact with the pink mist, they made a sizzling sound as if they were being corroded by strong sulfuric acid, and the originally dark green appearance instantly turned pitch black.

Immediately afterwards, the tree roots began to shrink and rot at a speed visible to the naked eye, eventually turning into a pile of black residue, completely losing their vitality.

Seeing this scene, Biwa Juzang was greatly encouraged and shouted excitedly: "Well done!"

Everyone's morale was boosted!

I wonder how much effort it would take to clean up the dense roots on the ground.

Now with Mei Terumi's Boiling Release and Melting Release, this tricky problem can be solved very well through a large area of ​​AOE damage!

And at this moment, a horrifying scene appeared.

The roots stopped transmitting energy and instead began to entangle with each other like snakes.

I saw them twisting their bodies like snakes, slowly gathering and entwining.

The bones beneath the tree roots also broke with crackling sounds due to their movements.

There was a bluish-white ash spreading in the air.

It's like a layer of grayish-white fog.

"Be careful! This is the one we encountered before!" Ito Toru shouted with a serious expression.

He was almost certain at this point.

This is the power of the legendary sacred tree!

Although it is not complete yet, it already has a prototype!

Black Zetsu can actually do this...

I guess there are no living people left in the Hidden Mist Village now.

Even Toru Ito felt a chill in his heart at this moment.

In a short period of time, those tangled tree roots were twisted together tightly like ropes.

From a distance, they look like huge tentacles waving in the air, ready to launch a fatal attack on the enemy at any time.

What's even more terrifying is that those ferocious bone beetle monsters are now gradually being covered and entangled by tree roots.

These tree roots were like nimble snakes, quickly climbing up the bone beetles' hard shells and tightly wrapping around their entire bodies in the blink of an eye!

The bone beetle monsters bound by the tree roots looked even more ferocious and terrifying. They bared their fangs, waved their sharp claws, and pounced towards everyone with great momentum!

"This is really getting troublesome..."

Ito Toru's eyes were solemn.

I originally wanted to just play a bystander role, but now it seems I have to do something myself!

He took a deep breath and gently waved his right hand. Several words emitting mysterious black light appeared out of thin air at his fingertips and shot towards the several bone beetle monsters rushing in the front at an extremely fast speed!

Puff puff!

Only a few muffled sounds were heard, and the black words hit the target accurately.

Then, a restriction as fine and complex as a spider web suddenly unfolded, like an invisible big net, instantly wrapping up the bone beetle monsters.

At this moment, Minato Namikaze's eyes focused, and he swung his hand violently, and the kunai flew out like lightning!

Only two "swish" sounds were heard, and the kunai drew two cold lights in the air and hit the target accurately.

At the same time, Namikaze Minato flashed and used the Flying Thunder God Technique to teleport, and the next moment he appeared in front of the monsters.

puff!

As the knife slashed, blood splattered everywhere!

Minato Namikaze's attack was extremely fierce. He wrapped the wind element around the kunai, easily breaking the armor of those monsters and completing the harvest!

"here you go!"

Mei Terumi exclaimed in admiration, and then accelerated the release of Boiling Release, beginning to quickly eliminate those tree roots.

Biwa Juzo and Hozuki Mangetsu were not idle either. They worked closely together and cooperated with each other to fight the monster in close combat.

It didn't take long for the battle to be over.

Biwa Juzo leaned on the long sword, slowly inserted it into the ground, then leaned his whole body against the sword, breathing heavily.

“This is really a physical job…”

"But fortunately, we have now cleared a safe area."

Namikaze Minato also wiped the sweat off his forehead.

"I'll go call the ninja coalition outside to come in. We'll use this place as our frontline camp today."

“It can be regarded as our initial achievement.”

"Ah."

Everyone also nodded.

"Until then, the maintenance of this place depends on everyone."

After Namikaze Minato finished speaking, his figure disappeared in a flash.

"Let's go check around."

Biwa Juzo and Hozuki Mangetsu were particularly active. They, along with Terumi Mei and Ao, were divided into two groups to patrol the surroundings to see if there were any other dangers.

Toru Ito and Yuina stayed where they were, ready to provide support at any time.

“It went even smoother than I thought.”

Yuina is in a good mood.

She did not take any action in the battle just now.

Because from beginning to end, her attention was only focused on Toru Ito.

"Yeah, that's a good start."

Ito Toru nodded and looked deeper into the Hidden Mist Village.

The area around the gate has now been cleared, and the building in the center of the Hidden Mist Village can be vaguely seen.

Although it is still shrouded in thick fog, you can still see the shape of a giant tree.
