I became the head of the Uchiha clan

"These are three ninjutsu scrolls. If you don't understand, the three of you can communicate with each other. If you really don't understand, you can ask me for advice."

"is teacher."

After leaving the training ground, a shadow clone appeared quietly, walked around the streets of Konoha and returned home. The main body used the transformation technique to buy a ghost face mask on the street, and left Konoha quietly.

A simple little trick to clear away one's own suspicions.

There is only one road from Konoha to the capital. Fugaku did not hear the specific goal of the root, so he could only search on this road first, hiding his body in the woods, and slowly advancing along the road.

At noon, a group of Konoha ninjas attracted his attention. They hid their bodies in the black mist and observed carefully. The leader was an elder of Konoha, Ito.

The root target is probably this person. He has some prestige among the elders and has rejected several proposals from the Third Generation and Danzo.

The most recent one was the denial of Danzo's strategic plan for the Land of Rain at a high-level meeting in Konoha, which was unanimously approved by the group of elders, making Danzo extremely embarrassed.

Fugaku originally thought that Danzo would find an opportunity to eliminate Elder Ito, but it has been a year now. If he hadn't suddenly seen Elder Ito, he might have forgotten about it.

Unexpectedly, he would see Elder Ito here after a year. If Root's target was really Elder Ito, Fugaku would actually admire Danzo's forbearance ability.

In his mind, Danzo's plan also needs to be slightly adjusted, so as to widen the distance between the two parties, remove the invisibility of the black mist, and hide far behind him in the forest.

Several kunai with detonating talismans suddenly shot out from the forest ahead, heading straight for Elder Ito in front of the team.

Continuous explosions sounded in the team, and along with screams, four masked ninjas jumped out on both sides of the road, but the uniforms they wore were not the original uniforms.

A large amount of smoke and dust obscured Elder Ito's team. A signal flare suddenly rose from the smoke and bloomed in the sky. It was still clearly visible even in the daytime.

At this location, if a signal flare is sent out, Fugaku estimates that it will take half an hour at the fastest to provide support.

A root member used ninjutsu to blow away the smoke and dust caused by the detonating talisman. Three of the six men led by Elder Ito were killed and three were injured, but Elder Ito had disappeared from the scene.

The three Konoha ninjas looked at the eight ninjas in front of them back to back.

"Who are you? You dare to rob and kill the elders of Konoha. Reinforcements will be here soon." A Konoha ninja shouted inwardly.

None of the eight Root members spoke, and several kunai shurikens flew out suddenly, heading straight for the three of them. The eight followed closely behind, drawing their weapons and heading straight for the three of them.

One of the advancing Root members suddenly fell into the ground. This was the inner decapitation technique of Earth Release, which directly pulled the person into the ground. A figure jumped out. It was none other than Elder Ito. He looked back and killed the ninja who had fallen underground with a single blow.

As an elder, he still had his wits about him. Fugaku did not take action rashly. There were still four root members lurking on both sides of the forest in order to deal with emergencies.

Elder Ito looked at the surrounding ninjas intently, his expression quite calm.

"Hmph, which country are you ninjas from? You didn't hesitate to go to the Fire Country to assassinate me. I haven't personally carried out a mission for many years. Since you dare to come to the Fire Country to run wild, be prepared to die here."

The seven root members still didn't say a word, staring at Ito in front of them with cold eyes.

Elder Ito looked at the others and understood that these were specially trained warriors. It was basically impossible to trick them into leaking information.

Four weapons stabbed Ito at the same time. The long sword was swung with some afterimages. Each of these Konoha elders had some unique skills of their own.

The other three were killing the remaining three Konoha ninjas. Their basic moves were mainly to kill the enemy, supplemented by defense. The moves were deadly. The three ninjas had only the power to parry and kept retreating.

In the forest behind, two figures suddenly appeared. The kunai stabbed into the heart from the back, killing them with one blow.

The only remaining Konoha ninja quickly lost his life under the siege of five people.

Elder Ito looked around. There were nine people in total, and all the men he brought with him had died in the battle.

"It seems that you have made a lot of preparations to deal with me. Call out the remaining ambush troops and let me see how many elite ninjas your head is worth."

The only two remaining Root members walked out of the woods, and eleven people surrounded Ito.

"A team of twelve people cannot sneak into the Land of Fire just to deal with me. Even if I die, I will have a few backers."

The eleven people moved at the same time, but at the moment of action, several kunai connected to the detonating talisman suddenly appeared, disrupting the rhythm of the root members, and the kunai detonated directly outside the encirclement.

The battlefield was once again shrouded in smoke and dust. Elder Ito saw the opportunity in an instant.

The long knife in his hand is like a bolt of lightning. This is the secret that he learned in life-and-death fights when he practiced knife skills. It can instantly accelerate the speed of drawing the knife, making the enemy unable to guard against it.

The long knife passed through a strange angle and passed through the throat of the root ninja in front of him, bringing up a trace of blood. The root ninja in front of him lost his life without any reaction.

Elder Ito gasped twice quickly and ran outside.

At the moment when the smoke and dust rose, Fugaku, who was hidden in the black mist, had already rushed into it. The kunai scratched the throat of the root member, and continuous information appeared in his mind.

One jounin and three chuunin.

Those who can be sent out by the Roots to perform missions, even Chunin, are the elite among them and should not be underestimated.

The smoke dissipated again, revealing the remaining six root members, as well as Elder Ito who had begun to escape towards Konoha.

"Fire escape, big fireball."

"Earth escape, thrust."

"Wind Escape, Wind Blade."

A series of ninjutsus were fired from the hands of the root members, forcing the elder Ito to stop in front of him. Ito turned back to face the root ninja in front of him again.

The Root Ninja did not attack rashly, and the intruder had not yet appeared. The opponent was able to kill four of their members at once, so the remaining Root Ninja had to be cautious.

Elder Ito was constantly looking at his surroundings from the corner of his eyes. If someone hadn't suddenly taken action just now, he might have died in the siege of several people.

At this time, Fugaku stood behind several people, forming a seal with his hands.

"Vacuum Continuous Waves."

A huge wind blade suddenly appeared, covering most of the area of ​​several Root members. The Root ninja felt the movement behind them, and turned around to look. Even the dead soldier who had been trained by Danzo for many years showed a hint of horror in his eyes.

While sending out the vacuum training wave, Fugaku released the black mist and a figure wearing a ghost face mask and baggy clothes appeared on the scene.

Two members of the Roots failed to dodge and were killed on the spot. Four ninjas jumped into the sky, two formed seals with their hands, and two fired several kunai shurikens.

"Earth Escape, Earth Dragon Bullet Technique."

"Fire escape, fire dragon bullets."

Fugaku stepped on his foot, and a teleportation technique disappeared from the place, appearing on the side of the root ninja, and his hands formed seals again.

"Wind escape, vacuum jade."

One after another, Wind Escape Chak was like bullets, shooting at several root ninjas densely.

Make the seal with your hands again.

"Escape from Earth, Huangquan Marsh."

The moment several Root members were avoiding the Vacuum Jade, the ground became soft and quickly formed a huge swamp, trapping the four Root members in it.
