Boom~~
In the hospital, the leader of the Root ninjas was sent flying backward.
In an instant!
The remaining Root ninjas, who had been charging forward, stopped in their tracks and looked up at the green figure blocking their way.
Shock filled their eyes!
"Guy!"
The leader's gaze shifted to Might Guy, and his eyes widened in disbelief.
Might Guy was one of the top Jonin level ninja of Konoha. Why was he here?
A bad feeling began to grow inside him.
This mission was going to face serious resistance!
"Who are you, to dare slaughter Konoha civilians without restraint!" As Might Guy appeared, he glared fiercely at the ninjas, his eyes practically burning with rage!
How dare they act recklessly in Konoha's hospital and even kill villagers who were there for treatment? It was despicable!
As he spoke, blue energy began to rise around him.
In an instant!
The Root ninjas in front of him felt the overwhelming pressure.
Outside, Ninja 04, who was fighting Uchiha clan members, immediately felt the pressure and his pupils contracted!
Might Guy's strength was already at the top of the ninja world, and with his unique taijutsu-enhancing secret techniques, how could he be here in the hospital?
They hadn't investigated properly before coming!
If they had known Might Guy was here, they would've brought two more Elite Jonin ninjas.
"You're distracted!" A nearby Uchiha ninja noticed Ninja 04 losing focus and launched another attack!
Inside the hospital hall!
Might Guy rushed into the crowd, but in an instant, he was surrounded by seven or eight ninjas who tried to capture him!
However.
At this moment, Might Guy had already opened the Sixth Gate, and his chakra erupted!
These ninjas found it difficult to approach him!
The remaining Root ninjas exchanged looks without saying a word and began attacking Might Guy.
They wanted to eliminate this unexpected obstacle.
"You dare invade Konoha? You are all dead!" Might Guy viewed Konoha as his home, and no one had ever dared to commit such blatant slaughter in the hospital. They had crossed his line!
In that case, he would kill them. No—he'd capture a few of them to report to the Hokage!
In an instant, Might Guy engaged in a fierce battle with the Root ninjas.
However, two others bypassed Might Guy and headed deeper into the hospital. Their goal was clear: to kill all the Uchiha clan members!
Not sparing any!
The Root ninjas would carry out their orders without hesitation.
"Stop!" At that moment, a young boy blocked their way. With his watermelon-shaped head, he had a determined look on his face.
"I don't know who sent you, but if you're causing trouble and attacking in the hospital, you'll have to get past me first!"
Senju Hayashi's usually gentle face turned serious. These people dared to cause trouble in the hospital built by Genya—it was the greatest evil!
This hospital provided the greatest protection for the villagers and healed many sick villagers. It was their beacon of hope.
He and Hikari both came from humble backgrounds, so they understood how much this hospital meant to the villagers. Yet, these people wanted to destroy it.
They deserved to die!
If it weren't for Genya's kindness, the villagers might not even have this hospital!
The two Root ninjas, wearing masks, exchanged confused glances. They didn't know who this boy was and wondered why he dared to stand in their way. Didn't he fear death?
"Rumor has it that Uchiha Kinya's son has a few young companions. This boy must be one of them!" One of the Root ninjas seemed to know something about the Uchiha clan. He said to Hayashi.
"Hmph, since he's a leftover from the Uchiha clan, he deserves to die!" The other Root ninja sneered. "Kill! Itachi's order is clear—leave no one connected to the Uchiha clan alive!"
The two exchanged another glance, their decision made.
Kill,
Kill this boy in front of them!
They already had many blood debts, and this one was no exception.
At the same time,
Two long swords swung down, each aimed at a vital spot!
Hayashi swiftly dodged, his eyes filled with killing intent.
Kill everyone connected to the Uchiha clan? So, this was an operation specifically targeting the Uchiha clan? These people could not be left alive!
Genya had shown him great favor, and now, the Uchiha clan was his family. They dared to strike at the Uchiha clan—they would be killed without mercy!
As Hayashi's killing intent spread, his chakra surged.
Taijutsu unleashed!
He was almost on equal footing with these two jonin-level ninjas.
After integrating the cell serum, his strength skyrocketed, not only in terms of physical abilities but also in chakra.
Since awakening his Wood Release, his chakra had already reached the level of a jonin.
This was why Genya had decided to send him out on a solo mission!
"This kid is strong!" The two Root ninjas were stunned. They were both jonin themselves, yet they felt somewhat powerless against a young boy!
This situation left them speechless and even somewhat anxious! If this continued, the Root mission might fail.
The two exchanged a glance and intensified their attacks, aiming for a quick resolution. They needed to defeat this boy fast!
"Getting impatient?" Senju Hayashi's eyes flashed with coldness. These ninjas were far inferior to his young master. Bah... how could they compare to Genya? Even Neji was stronger than these two.
At the moment, his Yin Seal and Hundred Healings Jutsu hadn't been activated yet, only the third gate of the Eight Gates was open.
The battle continued, but as it did, Senju Hayashi became increasingly at ease. Normally, when he was a punching bag for Genya, he thought some opponents were too strong. However, these ninjas were clearly not that strong.
"It's time to end this!"
As Senju Hayashi spoke, one of the ninjas preparing to strike suddenly felt something pull at his feet.
He froze for a moment and looked down!
He saw a vine had wrapped around his ankle. Just as he was about to use his longsword to cut it, the vine quickly restrained his entire body!
"Is this Wood Release?" The ninja's eyes filled with terror!
Before he could finish speaking, the longsword in his hand was taken by Hayashi and stabbed into his heart.
In an instant,
Blood splattered, and the ninja fell lifeless in disbelief.
His eyes remained wide open in shock. It was hard to believe—hadn't the Wood Release technique been lost after the First Hokage? How could someone use it now?
"Still, my little sister's Wood Release is practical. When used, it catches opponents by surprise!" Senju Hayashi remarked, looking at the tree vine with admiration. It was so useful in battle!
As he spoke, the Wood Release technique quickly faded away.
The ninja who had just died collapsed to the ground.
The battle that had just occurred happened in the blink of an eye. The nearby Root ninja was also in disbelief. Their leader, Danzo, had been studying Wood Release for so long without success!
And now, someone actually managed to use it?
Was this an illusion?
But then, he felt a gaze fixated on him—it was Senju Hayashi!
At that moment, he only had one thought: escape!
However, his panic gave Hayashi the opening he needed. Vines quickly wrapped around the ninja's body, restraining him!
Hayashi didn't rush to kill him. He stepped forward slowly and looked at the Root ninja. "Tell me, who is it that wants to harm the Uchiha clan?"
