Chapter 70 He Yanyi releases Mang Dahe, exhausting his Zen practice for the sake of Konoha.
"You think you can just leave so easily!"
Tsunade stomped heavily on the ground, causing it to crack, and took the lead in chasing after the group of black-clad ninjas.
Tsunade gave the order: the entire army was to attack.
Kakashi and Shizune followed closely behind.
Kazuhiko used Phantom Body Flicker repeatedly, and in a few flashes he surpassed everyone and appeared out of thin air in front of the Root ninja.
Tsunade glanced sideways, and Shizune exclaimed in surprise:
"What an amazing speed!"
"Is it Shisui's Phantom Body Flicker...?"
Kakashi had already guessed the reason why Kazuhiko was so fast.
Tsunade also noticed something amiss and looked at Kakashi behind her:
"Is this the speed achieved by combining Body Flicker Technique with a bloodline limit?"
"The bloodline limit is the Storm Release that Kazuhiko developed by fusing the lightning and water chakra natures. As for the Body Flicker Technique, I believe Lady Tsunade has also heard of it. It should have originated from Shisui's Body Flicker Technique."
Kazuhiko deliberately revealed his Storm Release bloodline limit to Tsunade and Shizune, and Kakashi, having nothing left to hide, offered his explanation:
"I know Shisui. I've heard he's the number one genius of the Uchiha clan, but the mission scroll says that Kazuhiko is just a medical genin."
Tsunade was very puzzled.
Two-tomoe Sharingan + Phantom Body Flicker + Storm Release, and you're telling me this is a Genin?
"Uh~ As far as I know, Kazuhiko only recently awakened his Sharingan. It's understandable that Uchiha ninjas experience an explosive increase in strength after awakening their Sharingan."
This is the most reasonable explanation Kakashi could think of.
If it weren't for the information he gathered along the way, his intelligence about Kazuhiko would be basically the same as Tsunade's.
"The Phoenix Fire Technique!"
"Shukuna Technique!"
Kazuhiko formed hand seals and unleashed two C-rank ninjutsu. Flames surged in front, followed by countless shuriken, combining to form a low-budget version of the Phoenix Flower Claw Red Technique, blocking the Root ninja's advance route.
While combining Phantom Body Flicker with Storm Release is effective, it shouldn't be overused.
Combining the two ninjutsu will greatly deplete Kazuhiko's stamina, and he will also need to conserve his chakra.
This is why Kazuhiko doesn't use Storm Release against his enemies.
"Wood Release·Wood Spindle Wall!"
Tenzo made another move, using Wood Release to directly intercept Kazuhiko's combined ninjutsu.
"Use the forest fire to stop the pursuers, we'll hold off this Uchiha, the last group goes first!"
The leader immediately made a decision and charged towards Kazuhiko first, accompanied by two Root ninjas, their advance menacing.
"Wood Release: Great Forest Technique!"
Suddenly, the entire forest "came to life," and the towering trees, like demons, indiscriminately bound and restrained Kazuhiko, Tsunade, and the others.
Then came the familiar combination of wind and fire ninjutsu.
"Wind Release: Great Breakthrough!"
"Fire Release: Fire Dragon Flame Bullet!"
The combined fire created by the triple ninjutsu turned everything within Kazuhiko's sight into an endless sea of flames.
Meanwhile, the three-man squad that had taken the initiative to confront him had all split up and were fleeing frantically.
"Doing it this way will definitely keep me occupied..."
Kazuhiko scanned the Root ninjas who were scattering and fleeing with his Sharingan, selecting the lucky ones among them.
To him, these people acting separately were no different from walking Jonin entry draws, completely turning them into lambs to the slaughter.
He kills whoever possesses the standard amount of chakra of a Jonin.
Upon selecting the target, Kazuhiko immediately formed a hand seal:
"Shadow Clone Technique!"
The two shadow clones, along with the main body, pursued the enemy in different directions.
Soon, Kazuhiko caught up with the Root ninja's mission leader.
Upon seeing He Yan, the other party decisively abandoned their attempt to escape.
He turned around, formed hand seals, and focused on performing ninjutsu.
The next moment, a huge rock cover appeared out of thin air above He Yan's head, attempting to trap him inside.
The soil fell and covered it.
This ninjutsu is only suitable for trapping taijutsu ninjas.
Most ninjutsu are essentially ineffective against lightning-fast ninjas.
Kazuhiko appeared behind the opponent in the next instant, and a black flash of light shot out from his hand, piercing directly through the heart of the Root ninja.
With the Sharingan confirming chakra circulation, there's no need to worry about the opponent's heart being on the right side.
You have incurred Suzuki's wrath.

Another shadow clone also ended the battle and sent back good news.

On the other hand, the last lucky one was unharmed.
Instead of taking action, Kazuhiko wanted to chat with the other party.
"You are Tenzo of the Root Organization, right?"
Tianzang was shocked, but fortunately, the mask concealed his true intentions, allowing him to remain calm and say:
"I don't understand what you're saying."
He doesn't understand.
Everything related to Danzo is top secret to members of Root, information that they would never reveal even if they died.
How did the other party, an Uchiha ninja, know my identity?
Could it be that our Root organization has Uchiha clan spies among us?
impossible!
Even within the Root organization, we haven't seen anyone with Sharingan.
"Whether you understand or not doesn't matter. I just want to tell you: the ninjas of Konoha are all your comrades. How can Danzo's Root organization, led by Danzo, issue a mission to assassinate their own comrades? Are they truly protecting Konoha?"
Kazuhiko didn't want to argue with him about his identity, so his shadow clone simply vanished from the spot.
His decision to hold back against the future "Yamato" was naturally because the latter was different from ordinary Root members.
If everything unfolds as the plot suggests:
Danzo would send Tenzo to assassinate Kakashi and, incidentally, steal his Sharingan.
Although Tenzo, with Orochimaru's divine assistance, inadvertently knocked down Kakashi and rendered him unable to resist, causing him to faint.
However, he did not choose to attack Kakashi and his Kamui Mangekyou Sharingan.
Although Tenzo was the sole survivor of the Wood Release experiment, he still held onto the extremely simple concept of "not harming his comrades."
In his view—
Kakashi is a Konoha ninja, which means he is a comrade who cannot be harmed.
If he really helps Danzo succeed, killing Kakashi to obtain the Sharingan, and letting Danzo discover the already awakened Kamui Mangekyou Sharingan.
Let alone the Hokage position he so desperately wanted, even Shisui and Itachi might be killed by Danzo's schemes.
If Danzo were to possess all five Mangekyou Sharingan—Kamui, Kotoamatsukami, Tsukuyomi, and Amaterasu—he might actually be able to unify the ninja world and make Root great again.
Of course, this is only a possibility that exists in theory.
Kazuhiko spared Tenzang's life because he was thinking from the Hokage's perspective.
He has no chance to run for Hokage now, but who will be the future master of Konoha?
Of course it's Uchiha Kazuhiko! Could it be Shimura Danzo?
Therefore, the more talented people Konoha Village has, the better; the more Kage-level fighters, the better.
In the world of Naruto, talent is the most important thing!
The First Hokage used Wood Release to conquer the world, while Yamato used Wood Release to create green spaces.
Of course, this is Kazuhiko looking at the problem from the perspective of a Hokage.
In the entire Hidden Leaf Village, who else possesses the same Hokage mindset as Hiko?
As the saying goes:
He Yanyi released Mang Dahe and devoted himself to the cause of Muye.
……
Tenzo stared blankly at Kazuhiko as he disappeared.
Roots, leaves, companions...
An explosion suddenly came from afar, waking Tianzang.
He shook his head, turned, and disappeared into the darkness.
He still needed to remain alive to return to Root and report the intelligence Danzo had just obtained.
