Multiverse Skill System

Naruto was somewhat insincere, concealing his true thoughts.

Even Yi Shuihan felt a little strange, because in his impression, Naruto was not someone who was afraid of pain!

Having obtained what they wanted, the little ones immediately began to try it out with great enthusiasm, observing and experimenting as they went, turning the scene into a small training ground.

Kakashi and Rao were more low-key; although they watched for a while, they weren't in such a hurry to start training.

Feeling a bit bored, Yi Shuihan simply pulled Kakashi and Rao to play cards to pass the time. However, to motivate them, Yi Shuihan said that they could ask him a small question about cultivation every time they won.

Even if he didn't do that, Yi Shuihan would generally not refuse to ask for advice directly, but he still won the opportunity through his own means, which makes people feel more at ease.

Chapter 417, Danzo, Come Out and Greet Guests

The leaves of Konoha were exceptionally quiet at night, with the occasional chirping of unknown insects and the sound of the wind rustling through the leaves acting like a lullaby, making one drowsy.

Unexpected guests arrived at Yi Shuihan's room at this moment: two men in black wearing cat-face masks quietly sneaked in.

The special kunai did not reflect light at all under the moonlight; its cold edge emitted a chilling aura, causing the surrounding temperature to drop considerably.

"Hey, what are you guys doing? Hurry up! I want to keep sleeping!"

The voice of dissatisfaction suddenly rang out, instantly alerting the man in black.

"Discovered."

"How to do?"

"Keep doing it!"

After a brief exchange, the two uninvited guests rushed towards Yi Shuihan at lightning speed and killed him without hesitation.

Chunin, and the kind of Chunin who is skilled in killing, are considered key figures in Konoha. Yi Shuihan immediately recognized the two as members of Danzo's Root organization.

"Why did he suddenly make a move?" Yi Shuihan was puzzled. He carefully reviewed his actions and realized that he had been quite well-behaved and should not have been the reason for Danzo to kill him.

However puzzled he was, he still had to face the situation. When faced with someone who wanted to kill him, Yi Shuihan was not going to be patient.

Those who commit murder should be prepared to be killed in return.

"Hitting a cow across a mountain."

With a soft shout, he threw a punch into the air, and the two uninvited guests suddenly stopped moving and slowly fell to the ground. They looked extremely strange, as if the person behind them had rushed too fast and stabbed the person in front to death.

The person behind ran right into the knife of the person in front.

"A perfect suicide scene, it's a pity it's not a locked-room murder!" Yi Shuihan thought with a hint of disappointment as he glanced at the open window.

At that moment, several crisp explosions reached Yi Shuihan's ears. He instantly realized that it was the sound of Rao killing someone next door, clearly having blown up the enemy.

"Looks like he has more people on his side!" With his chin in hand, Yi Shuihan glanced at the two dead bodies on the ground, then got up, dressed, and walked out of the room.

Of course, we didn't go to Rao's place. Instead, we went outside and had the staff book a new room. The reason was that we weren't comfortable in the original room and wanted to try a different one.

The staff found Yi Shuihan's reason strange, but still changed his room without even checking on his original room.

The next day,

Everything was calm and peaceful, as if the assassins had never appeared. Yi Shuihan went to check his original room and found that the body was gone. There was no trace of foul play, and it was clear that it had been handled by professionals.

"You continued sleeping in your room yesterday?"

Yi Shuihan looked at Rao, who was surprisingly calm, and asked.

"good."

Rao nodded, slightly smug. What did a few dead people mean? He'd sleep even if it was a pile of corpses.

"Impressive! You can actually sleep in such a disgusting environment. Just how big is your heart?"

What was originally a compliment somehow took on a different meaning when it came from Yi Shuihan's mouth, making Rao feel uneasy.

Do you have any plans for today?

"Prepare to practice those few small techniques."

"Oh, let's postpone it until tomorrow. Today I'll take you to kill someone."

"Kill who?"

"enemy!"

As Yi Shuihan and Rao headed towards Root's headquarters, Kakashi appeared in front of them at just the right moment.

Where are you going?

Kakashi's tone was slightly heavy, indicating that he had also learned some information.

"Go kill some people."

Yi Shuihan answered very decisively, just as if Kakashi had asked if he had eaten and he had answered yes, without any sense of incongruity.

"The Hokage told me to tell you that this matter ends here, and he will handle it."

Seemingly considering Yi Shuihan's feelings, Kakashi continued, "Don't worry, we will definitely give you a satisfactory answer to this matter."

"No need to trouble the three generations of old men, we will handle it ourselves. You only have two choices now: stop us and get beaten to death, or don't stop us and do your own thing."

As Yi Shuihan spoke, he gave Rao a look, and Rao immediately released his killing intent, enveloping Kakashi.

The difference in level between Rao and Kakashi was quite significant, so Kakashi was immediately rendered speechless and dared not utter another word.

With a complicated expression, Kakashi looked at Yi Shuihan and Rao's retreating figures. After thinking for a moment, he finally sent out an Anbu member to deliver the message to the Hokage, and then followed them alone at a distance.

How did they find out about Root's headquarters?

Kakashi initially held onto a sliver of hope, thinking that Yi Shuihan and Rao didn't know the location of Root's headquarters. However, as time passed and he saw Yi Shuihan and Rao getting closer and closer without taking any detours, Kakashi finally abandoned his hopes.

"What are they going to do? Should they infiltrate first, or..."

Kakashi looked at the two who had arrived at the entrance of Root headquarters and wondered what they were thinking.

"Danzo, aren't you going to come out and greet your guest? Your grandpa the boxing champion is here to see you!"

A loud shout instantly ignited the entire arena; practically the whole of Konoha heard it.

"..."

Kakashi stared blankly at the two people not far away, his mind reeling.

Kakashi knew Danzo well; he was a treacherous and despicable villain who would stop at nothing to achieve his goals, a ruthless person who was also quite powerful.

Kakashi had initially thought things might not escalate and there was still a chance for reconciliation. But this turn of events has completely severed ties between Danzo and Yi Shuihan, making them irreconcilable enemies.

"Who dares to cause trouble here?"

"How dare you insult Lord Danzo! Die!"

"Kill them."

Like a hornet's nest being stirred up, hordes of ninjas rushed out of the main gate, instantly locking onto Yi Shuihan and his companion, and attacking without the slightest hesitation.

In the minds of these people who have been brainwashed by Danzo, insulting Danzo is probably a terrible sin, deserving of death.

Moreover, powerful auras erupted from the roots and were rapidly moving towards Yi Shuihan.

In the Hokage Building, the Third Hokage, who had just received the news, was still thinking about how to solve the problem when he suddenly heard Yi Shuihan's shout. His expression changed drastically, and he rushed out without giving any instructions.

"I'm leaving everything to you."

Yi Shuihan said something to Rao, then crossed his arms, intending to watch the show.

Chapter 418, Isn't it just the Sharingan?

"Oops!"

Kakashi was very worried as he watched the battle about to break out, but his concern was not for Rao and Yi Shuihan, but for the numerous and powerful ninjas.

Sometimes, the gap in strength cannot be bridged simply by having more people.

What happened next proved Kakashi's idea right. Rao perfectly demonstrated what it meant to kill people like chickens. He killed them one by one, or even without using a single move.

"Even killing a chicken isn't this easy, is it?"

Kakashi stared in shock at the scene of carnage not far away. In just a short time, nearly a hundred people had died, and it seemed that this was only the beginning.

Could he be planning to wipe out the entire family?

Kakashi was startled when the thought first arose, but upon further reflection, he increasingly felt that it was true.

It's a good thing that these Root members have been trained by Danzo to be suicide soldiers, otherwise they would have been killed to the point of collapse long ago, and they wouldn't dare to continue fighting Rao. However, even so, it can be seen that their movements and momentum are not as strong as they were at the beginning.

It must be said that these Root ninjas are all elites, each with their own unique advantages, and they are quite calm in battle, making them the best tools for missions.

If it weren't Raoh here today, but someone else, even a Kage-level expert, would not have returned alive, let alone wreak havoc.

When Danzo finally arrived at the scene with a grim face, there were more than 200 corpses lying on the ground, most of them mutilated. It could be said that nearly half of the elites of the entire Root had been killed by Rao, a loss that was enough to make Danzo feel heartbroken.

Danzo's only exposed eye was wide open, as if it were about to pop out of its socket, which looked quite frightening.

Seeing the corpses all over the ground, Danzo was furious! He hadn't taken Rao and Yi Shuihan seriously at all. It was only because the Third Hokage said that Yi Shuihan and the others didn't want to be monitored that Danzo felt there might be something wrong. So he simply ordered his men to clean them up. He had experienced this kind of thing countless times before without any problems. He never expected that someone would come to his door and slap him in the face today.

However, things had already come to this point, and Danzo didn't care about anything else. He only had one thought: to kill Rao and Yi Shuihan to avenge his subordinates.

"The main character has finally arrived. It's not easy to see you, Danzo!"

Upon seeing Danzo, Yi Shuihan felt a strange sensation, considering that he had already killed Danzo once.

"Look how enthusiastic your subordinates are, welcoming us two brothers with their blood. You, the one in charge, are being a bit underhanded, hiding your true intentions while greeting guests. Aren't you just a few Sharingan users?"

Yi Shuihan directly revealed Danzo's trump card, which immediately startled Danzo.

"How did you know?"

Looking at Yi Shuihan with surprise and suspicion, his killing intent grew stronger and stronger. This was a secret that even few people in the Root knew, and yet an outsider had found out about it. He couldn't help but suspect that there might be a traitor.

No matter how hard Danzo thought about it, he couldn't figure out the truth. It was really hard for him to believe that Root, which he had nurtured, would betray him.

You should know that not only have all the people of the Root been brainwashed by him, but they are also all marked with his unique curse seal. As long as he activates it, whoever he wants will die.

With both mental and physical protection, this method of control can indeed be described as foolproof.

Even Yi Shuihan had to admire Danzo's abilities; otherwise, he wouldn't have created Root. In some respects, Root was not much worse than the Anbu.

"Rao, you'd better watch out for his other eye. If you make eye contact with that eye, I don't know if you'll survive," Yi Shuihan suddenly said to Rao.

Kotoamatsukami was indeed ineffective against him, but it might not be so for Rao. Even Yi Shuihan didn't know if Danzo could control Rao if he actually used Kotoamatsukami on him.

As for the forbidden technique Izanagi, Yi Shuihan believed that even if he didn't mention it, Rao wouldn't be caught off guard.

"Eyes?"

Rao became slightly interested. He had heard Yi Shuihan talk about the Sharingan before and was quite curious about this magical eye, especially its amazing pupil techniques.

Rao hadn't paid much attention to Danzo before, but now that Yi Shuihan had mentioned it, he was quite interested.

"I'm giving you a chance to use your eye's power. Don't leave any regrets," Rao suddenly said to Danzo. He was extremely confident in himself and didn't believe that just one eye could defeat him.

Who is he? He's Rao, the boxing champion who dares to throw a punch at the sky. If he loses because of one eye, he might as well be dead.

Even Yi Shuihan didn't realize that it was precisely his words that made Rao determined to have Danzo use Kotoamatsukami.

"You will regret it."

Danzo didn't waste any more words and didn't force himself to break the seal on his hands. After all, Rao was a powerful figure who had wiped out most of his elites in a short period of time, and he didn't dare to underestimate him.

However, Danzo did not seem to intend to use Kotoamatsukami yet. He ignored the bandages on his head and slowly unwrapped the bandages on his hands, intending to break the seal on his hands.

The bandages were removed, but what was revealed was not an arm, but a layer of metal.

"Damn it, they're putting a combination lock on their hand, thinking it's a seal for their Qilin Arm!" Yi Shuihan muttered to himself as he watched this scene.

However, Yi Shuihan also knew why Danzo did this; it was simply to isolate the Sharingan's aura.

"Click, click"

With a few gear-like sounds, the unsealing finally came to an end. Just as Danzo's powerful arm was about to be revealed, an uninvited guest arrived.

"Danzo, wait a minute."

Danzo stopped what he was doing with a slight change in expression and looked into the distance, where a figure was rushing towards them at an astonishing speed.

"Lord Third Generation, you've finally arrived."

Kakashi saw the person approaching and went to greet them, looking relieved. The situation was just too complicated, and he had overheard things he shouldn't have.

Whether Danzo is killed or Danzo wins, things will become complicated.

With Danzo killed, Konoha and Yi Shuihan will undoubtedly become enemies from now on. After all, given Danzo's status in Konoha, it would be unreasonable for them to remain silent after his death.
