Chapter 140: The Fear of Being Dominated by Giants

At this time, the Root Base had lost its former solemnity and order. Most of the Root ninjas gathered together and made a lot of noise, just like a vegetable market. There were even internal armed conflicts.

"boom!"

The tightly closed door was kicked away by someone, interrupting the arguing Root ninjas. It was Uchiha Keiji who broke in, with Hayama, who looked indifferent, standing beside him, and dozens of elite ninjas of the Uchiha clan following behind him.

"Who dares to break into the Root? Don't you know that this is the base of Lord Danzo?"

Immediately, a ninja rushed out from the darkness fiercely, and the ninja sword in his hand mercilessly covered Ye Shan and others, and his first move was a naked killing move.

Uchiha Keiji sneered but did not move. The family ninja behind him flew forward and subdued the Root ninja with two scarlet eyes in just a few moves.

"Master Keiji, Master Hayama, what should we do with this man?"

Uchiha Keiji looked at the expressionless Yeshan and made a gesture of wiping the neck. The Uchiha ninja immediately grinned and the kunai in his hand slashed across the man's neck without hesitation.

Ye Shan walked slowly past the Root Ninja who was not yet dead, without even looking at the blood splattered on the ground, and went straight to the square where a large number of ninjas gathered.

Panic began to spread among the crowd, causing several young ninjas to tremble with fear. A brave ninja stepped forward and shouted, "Where is Master Bai Kumo Yeshan Danzo now?"

"presumptuous!"

An Uchiha ninja stepped forward and shouted, "Who do you think you are to question Lord Yeshan?"

"you..."

Ye Shan waved his hand to interrupt the argument between the two and said calmly: "I know exactly where Shimura Danzo is going. Why do you want to accompany him?"

The Root Ninja couldn't help but stagger, and asked tremblingly: "Is Danzo dead?"

"He died, and left in a very uneasy way, with not a trace left."

"If you want to avenge your master, hurry up. I'm in a hurry."

Immediately, nearly ten Root ninjas suddenly jumped up, some pulling scrolls, some releasing ninjutsu, it was quite lively.

"hehe."

Ye Shan smiled contemptuously, and a large golden glow emerged on the surface of his body. In just a moment, a wall with a metallic glow stood in front of him.

All the ninjutsu hidden weapons hit the golden wall, but not even a trace was left. Uchiha Keiji, who was standing beside Ye Shan, opened his Sharingan and stared at the wall that suddenly appeared with a serious expression, his eyes filled with disbelief.

You should know that the foundation of the technique is chakra, and the arrangement and combination of chakra determines the strength of the technique. For example, for the same basic earth-style ninjutsu, the one released by a jonin is several times stronger than the one released by a genin. Of course, it is not because the jonin consumes more chakra than the genin when performing the ninjutsu, but because the arrangement of earth-attribute chakra is more condensed and compact, that's all.

It is easier said than done. It requires not only the caster to have strong chakra control ability, but also extremely strong mental strength. Chakra is a violent energy body, not a docile sheep. If you are not careful, it will backfire on the caster. This is why some extremely powerful ninjutsu are listed as forbidden techniques.

But in Uchiha Keiji's eyes, the chakra of unknown nature was like a number of well-trained soldiers, arranged together without any difference, making the golden wall naturally indestructible.

"The ritual begins: Golden Sword Kill!"

Just as Uchiha Keiji was thinking, Yeshan coldly launched a ritual, and in an instant dozens of golden spears appeared out of thin air, shooting towards the attacking Root ninjas with whimpering sounds.

With just one strike, dozens of Root Ninjas were killed on the spot. Only a few managed to escape, but they were also seriously injured. If they could not be treated in time, they would only be waiting to die.

Hundreds of Root ninjas were shocked by Yeyama's ruthlessness. They never expected that he would start killing people over a disagreement and completely disregard the village rules.

Of course, Yeshan is not afraid of the so-called village rules. It was Shimura Danzo who first broke such rules, not him. It would be too hypocritical to mention those things now.

This is the case with all the rules in the world. There are only two possibilities for breaking them: zero times and countless times. After all, the feeling of breaking the rules is so pleasurable that it is extremely addictive.

Ye Shan felt that every cell in his body was cheering, as if supporting him in his destructive behavior, and then hundreds of spears slowly condensed and aimed at every Root ninja present.

"Who else wants to accompany Tuan Zang? Squeak."

Seeing the bloody corpses and wailing companions before their eyes, these Root Ninjas no longer had the will to resist. They pursed their lips tightly, fearing that they would accidentally make a sound.

Therefore, Danzo's high-pressure ruling method is extremely inappropriate and unpopular. The hundreds of silent Root ninjas in front of him are clear proof of this.

Ye Shan nodded in satisfaction, pointed to Uchiha Keiji beside him and said, "From now on, he is the new leader of the Root. Why don't you pay your respects to him?"

Even though Uchiha Keiji had experienced countless ups and downs, he was still very excited at this moment. After taking a deep breath, he flashed across Yeshan and stood in front of the Root Ninja. His pair of three-magatama Sharingan turned slowly and stared at everyone strangely.

The Root ninjas looked at each other in bewilderment. They did not expect that the new leader was not Yeshan but an Uchiha ninja, and they could not help but hesitate.

"drink!"

Dozens of elite ninjas from the Uchiha clan took a step forward together, the murderous aura on their bodies condensed into a ball and forced towards the many Root ninjas. Their scarlet eyes emitted a strange light in the dim underground space.

Ye Shan stood there with his hands on his chest, looking coldly at the Root Ninja. The golden spear floating in the sky trembled slightly, looking like it was ready to strike.

The hearts of many Root Ninjas trembled, and without any hesitation, they all knelt on the ground and shouted, "Greetings, Leader."

Uchiha Keiji's face flushed with a strange color, intoxicated by the pleasure of holding power, and after a long time he said lightly: "Get up."

But many Root ninjas were still kneeling, not daring to actually stand up.

"I am not a ruthless person like Danzo. From now on, all the systems of the Root that are not in line with the village policy will be abolished. Private fighting will be prohibited. The talent training program will be abolished and replaced by fair and just open selection."

"From now on, all assessments will be personally managed by me. As long as your contribution is great enough, even the secret techniques of the Uchiha clan will be open to you."

"Everyone's bonuses and mission subsidies will be doubled, and the families of those who unfortunately died will be raised by the roots."

"The existing captain and team leader positions will not be adjusted for now, and selection exams will be conducted in the future to ensure that people are assigned the right roles."

"Those who violate the rules will be convicted by the Security Department. I'll make it clear in advance that even if you find the Hokage to plead for mercy, it will be useless!"

"Do you understand everything?"

"understand!"

To be honest, many Root ninjas were more happy than worried at this moment. Apart from anything else, the Uchiha clan's secret techniques alone made them excited, and their resistance to this new leader who came out of nowhere was reduced a lot.

And from what the new leader said, it seemed that from now on they were no longer just tools of killing or machines for tasks, but had become a group that could live in the sun like other ninjas in the village. How could they not be happy?

If given a choice, no one wants to live like a rat in a sewer. Everyone wants to live a normal life.

Yeshan was very satisfied with Uchiha Keiji's speech, which was also the biggest reason why he strongly recommended him to take charge of the Root. This carrot and stick approach was indeed a beautiful one.

Just when Ye Shan was about to disperse the golden spear hanging over everyone's heads, he suddenly raised his eyebrows and looked at the broken door in surprise.

Nearly a hundred Anbu ninjas directly under the Hokage swarmed in and surrounded everyone, but did not take action immediately. They were waiting for someone to arrive.

The sound of steady footsteps reached everyone's ears, and soon Sarutobi Hiruzen, dressed in military uniform, walked into the Root Base with a bad look on his face.

"Yayama, I just want to ask you one thing, where is Danzo?"

Ye Shan waved his hand nonchalantly, dispelling the golden spear and said, "Hokage-sama, are you admitting that you know what happened in the forest?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen's eyes darkened, but he denied what Ye Shan said: "I don't know anything, I just want to ask you where is Danzo?"

"Haha, dead." Ye Shan said seriously, as if he was stating a trivial matter.

Sarutobi Hiruzen's eyes flashed with sadness, which soon disappeared and was replaced by a look of determination. He asked in a cold voice, "You did it?"

"I did it, what can you do?"

The conversation between the two became increasingly tense, and the ninjas present were suffocating. In many years, Ye Shan was the first ninja who dared to confront the Hokage so hard.

"Good, very good."

Sarutobi Hiruzen spoke word by word, his eyes became sharp, and his usual kind appearance was replaced by boundless murderous intent.

"As the Hokage of Konoha, I have no right to fight with the ninjas in the village. However, Danzo has been my friend for many years. He died inexplicably today. It would be unreasonable if I didn't fight him."

Nameless anger burned in Ye Shan's heart. He said in a deep voice: "I think not only the Hokage has many friends, but everyone has a few close friends. My close friend Baiyun Ye Shan, who has been with me for many years, also died inexplicably. It's time to settle the account with Yamashiro Tatsuya today."

There are some things that you will never know how it feels until they actually happen to you. Yeshan has wanted Sarutobi Hiruzen to experience the feeling of losing a good friend for a long time, and today he finally got his wish.

It was a tit-for-tat confrontation, and the momentum of the two was pushed to the extreme, making many of those with less strength have difficulty breathing as if they were strangled by the neck.

Sarutobi Hiruzen glanced at the scene on the field and said coldly: "This is not the place to fight, go outside."

Ye Shan nodded and did not refuse the other party's request.

"Hokage Rock is a big place with a wide view. Let's go there."

"It's up to you!"

"Oh!"

Two puffs of smoke drifted away from the two men, and they simultaneously used the teleportation technique to leave the root base.

Immediately, several Anbu ninjas directly under the Hokage disappeared without hesitation. Uchiha Keiji waved his hand with a gloomy face and left instantly with the Uchiha clan ninjas.

The Root Ninja kneeling in the front had a flickering look in his eyes for a moment, then he gritted his teeth, stood up and said in a deep voice: "Those above the rank of team leader, follow me, don't think about playing both sides."

Konoha Hokage Rock is where the portraits of the successive Hokages are carved. It is also a warehouse for storing some important confidential documents. Not only is it in a prime location overlooking the entire Konoha Village, it is also the place of faith in the hearts of most people in the village.

Ye Shan faced Sarutobi Hiruzen with an expressionless face, determined to intimidate his opponent as soon as possible.

As for killing the Hokage, Ye Shan hadn't even thought about it now, unless he really wanted to abandon everything in the village and become a notorious traitor ninja.

Everything that needed to be said had been said, and all that was left was to communicate with strength, so Sarutobi Hiruzen chose to take action first.

"Shuriken Shadow Clone Jutsu!"

A shuriken as tall as an adult was multiplied by the chakra, and then two became four. In just an instant, it turned into a black mass, and smashed towards Ye Shan with a whistling sound.

Ye Shan shouted in a deep voice and circulated the chakra in his body to the extreme. The Earth Giant rose from the ground, followed by golden armor, lightning arrows, water wings, and fire spears, standing on the Hokage Rock like a mountain.

No one knew how the battle on the Hokage Rock ended that day, and no one knew who won or lost, but everyone saw on that sunny afternoon a devastating giant standing above the heads of successive Hokage.

On this day, some old ninjas recalled the fear of being dominated by giants.
