Naruto: I wrote in my diary that I exposed the Otsutsuki's arrival.

Chapter 34 The Astounding Strength of Kitahara Kaede

Fortunately, if it can be confirmed that this was Danzo's personal action, at least it can be ruled out that the Third Hokage also intended to target him.

Danzo held a high position in Konoha and wielded great power, but he was an outcast.

If Kitahara Kaede dies here today, then it can only be said that her death was in vain.

However, the reverse is also true. Since the Root organization did not have official approval and was carrying out Danzo's private orders, dying here would have been pointless.

Hyuga Keiko and Ayumi Genryu didn't understand why Kitahara Kaede would still be wearing colored contact lenses when they were about to fight. Was he nearsighted?

However, at this point they were already on the same side as Kitahara Kaede, especially Hyuga Keiko, who knew Root's style of doing things, was even more determined.

She didn't want to die here.

Before long, the four-man squad from the root had caught up, and the field was now empty.

The group immediately became alert. The monkey-masked ninja in the lead had insects crawling between his fingers, indicating that the other party had not left.

"Over there."

The monkey-masked ninja pointed to a bush to the side, and the sheep-masked and eagle-masked ninjas rushed over like rabbits, throwing several shuriken in their hands at the same time.

However, the two of them came up empty-handed; there was clearly nothing there.

"not good!"

The eagle-masked ninja immediately realized something was wrong, because this open space wasn't entirely empty; it contained a makeshift trap with explosive tags fluttering in the wind.

"burst!"

With a shout from the boy, the explosive tag exploded.

The ninja with the eagle mask who was closest to the blast couldn't dodge it at all and was hit squarely in an instant, instantly becoming seriously injured.

The other ninja in the sheep mask was further away and reacted quickly, avoiding the blast radius.

However, in the next instant, a shuriken fell from the sky and pierced the throat of the hawk-masked ninja. Already severely injured, he had no chance to dodge and died instantly.

"Damn it!"

The monkey-masked ninja realized that a simple trap had killed one of his most capable men; ultimately, he had underestimated his opponent.

Intelligence indicates that Kitahara Kaede has been a Chunin for a year, while the other two have only recently become Chunin, meaning they are essentially no different from elite Genin.

This underestimation of the enemy led to one of them being killed right from the start.

He looked toward the direction of the sound and saw Kitahara Kaede and his two companions standing on the branches of several trees, looking at them indifferently.

"How dare you, Kitahara Kaede! You actually dared to kill an ANBU member who was on official duty!" the monkey-masked ninja shouted, trying to take the initiative.

"Anbu? Ha, do Root members always use the Anbu's name when they go out to do bad things?" Kitahara Kaede said indifferently.

Upon hearing Kitahara Kaede's words, the monkey-masked ninja was momentarily stunned. He hadn't expected Kitahara Kaede to know that they were Root ninjas.

In appearance, they are no different from ANBU ninjas.

Root was even a training base for Anbu ninjas, and the two were originally one family.

Ordinary ninjas have no idea of ​​the Root's existence, but Kitahara Kaede not only knows about it, but he also easily determines that they belong to the Root rather than the Anbu. This kid is very unusual.

He recalled Danzo's instructions before he left: this kid was likely a spy from another village. At the time, he didn't think much of it; he just did whoever Danzo told him to kill.

Looking back now, Lord Danzo was truly farsighted.

Otherwise, there's no way to explain why he knew about the existence of the root.

"Kitahara Kaede, the village suspects you of being a spy from another village and is now arresting you. Aiten Gentaka and Hyuga Keiko, you two have nothing to do with this matter, so don't make a mistake!"

The monkey-masked ninja attempted to sow discord among the members of Kitahara Kaede's team.

However, the two people opposite him, Genryu Aoten and Keiko Hyuga, remained expressionless and unmoved.

The monkey-masked ninja knew that his attempt to impersonate the ANBU had completely failed. It seemed that he now knew of the Root's existence and would not be fooled by them.

"Let's do it!"

The monkey-masked ninja shouted, and in an instant, the remaining three members of Root rushed towards their respective targets.

The monkey-masked ninja aimed directly at Kitahara Kaede, while the fox-masked ninja pounced on Hyuga Keiko, and the eagle-masked ninja rushed towards Ayumi Genryu.

Kitahara Kaede and the other two also pounced down at the same time.

"Take care of this captain first!"

The thought flashed through Kitahara Kaede's mind, and at the same time, he quietly opened his Sharingan.

The Sharingan with one tomoe is a perceptive eye; in an instant, everything around him seemed to slow down considerably.

The benefits of the Sharingan are not limited to this. Although it is not as direct as the Byakugan, Kitahara Kaede could still easily sense everyone's chakra.

This monkey-masked ninja has the most chakra, making him a fully qualified Jonin.

Although he is far inferior to Kitahara Kaede at present, if Kitahara Kaede before obtaining the Uchiha bloodline had really encountered him, he would probably have met his end.

The monkey-masked ninja was overjoyed to see Kitahara Kaede charging down. He had been afraid Kitahara Kaede would run away, but now Kitahara Kaede not only didn't run away, but dared to charge at him.

In an instant, the monkey-masked ninja unleashed a swarm of parasitic insects that flew towards Kitahara Kaede's direction.

"Wind Release: Great Breakthrough!"

Kitahara Kaede shouted loudly, and immediately spewed out a gust of wind that blasted directly at the parasitic insects.

Kitahara Kaede currently possesses far more chakra than most elite Jonin. Chakra is a special power formed by the combination of physical strength and mental strength.

It's easy to imagine the improvement in Kitahara Kaede's physical abilities.

However, his biggest problem is that he knows too few ninjutsu. After all, he is just an ordinary Chunin. Apart from the Three Body Techniques taught in the academy, he only knows a few C-rank ninjutsu.

This is one of them.

"What?" The monkey-masked ninja was shocked. Kitahara Kaede's breakthrough in Wind Release was indeed reflected in the intelligence data, but this ordinary Wind Release technique had now formed a terrifying storm.

They are all C-rank ninjutsu, but they can unleash completely different powers in the hands of different people.

The theory that there are no useless ninjutsu, only useless people, was perfectly embodied in Kitahara Kaede at this moment.

The parasitic insects that the monkey-masked ninja had painstakingly cultivated were instantly blown away, unable to get close to Kitahara Kaede.

At that moment, Kitahara Kaede had already rushed in front of him, and the kunai in her hand was thrust directly at his face.

The monkey-masked ninja retreated hastily at the last moment, narrowly avoiding Kitahara Kaede's sudden attack.

The monkey-masked ninja broke out in a cold sweat.
