Naruto: I've already fought against all five Kage, and the system only just arrived.

"No! For Konoha! Hagoromo Gengetsu! You must die! You must die!"

Danzo Shimura's face was full of resentment and hatred.

Undeterred, he mustered his last strength and sprinted toward Yu Yixuanyue's location.

No matter how hard he tried, the gap between them not only did not shrink, but actually widened.

Finally, even as his entire body was dragged into the underworld by black blood, Shimura Danzo's single eye remained fixed on Hagoromo Gengetsu until he was completely swallowed up.

After Shimura Danzo, the caster, completely disappeared, the black blood, which had swelled into a sphere, spread rapidly in all directions.

Yu Yi Xuan Yue, standing far away on the canopy of a large tree, looked towards the location where the Inner Four Symbols Seal had erupted.

Soon, everything was over.

A huge pit, nearly 100 meters wide, appeared before his eyes.

Everything that was originally on the deep pit, including Danzo Shimura, had been taken to the underworld by the Reverse Four Symbols Seal and swallowed up completely.

"Sealing techniques are indeed unreasonable."

After a brief sigh, having finally resolved the conflict with the Root forces who had been secretly watching him and with whom he had already clashed in Tanabata Street, Hagoromo Gengetsu looked towards Konoha Village, where a large group of Konoha ninjas were heading towards him.

Yu Yi Xuan Yue flashed away, but instead of leaving, she chose to return to the Root Base.

After killing people and raiding their base, of course you should loot their equipment.

While chasing Shimura Danzo in the underground base, I casually glanced around and discovered that there were quite a few good things inside.

After all, it's the main base of the roots.

Money, ninja tools, secret techniques, intelligence, and so on are all acceptable.

What truly caught Yu Yi Xuan Yue's eye were the advanced and diverse array of high-tech equipment—far superior to the research labs she had previously worked in—as well as the precious materials being tested.

He was thinking about whether to make a quick buck at Konoha Hospital before going back, but now he didn't have to think about it anymore.

After searching the root base warehouse, Yu Yi Xuan Yue immediately packed up all the high-tech instruments that she coveted and took them with her. Then she also collected some other things that caught her eye.

He lingered briefly in the secret room where the bamboo dragonfly had self-immolated before turning and leaving.

Almost as soon as he left, Konoha's reinforcements arrived.

At first glance, what they saw was an enormous, semi-circular crater above the base.

This reminds me of the Root ninja corpses I found on the road earlier.

Clearly, the roots have suffered an unprecedented attack.

"Things are really not good now."

Pulling up his headband and scanning the deep pit, Kakashi, the commander of this reinforcement team who knew nothing about the Reverse Four Symbols Seal, focused his attention on the completely shattered gate of the Root base.

There was no sound of fighting inside.

The Root ninjas did not come out to greet them.

Kakashi already had the worst possible guess.

He solemnly instructed, "Maintain a B-level combat formation. Once inside the Root base, remain vigilant at all times and do not leave the formation without authorization."

"understand!"

The ninjas present were all elites from Konoha, and they knew exactly what they should do.

Among them, Matt Kai even gave a thumbs up and said, "My youthful passion is already surging!"

Knowing perfectly well the circumstances under which his eternal best friend Kakashi would have such a serious expression, Guy was even prepared to open the Eight Gates.

To everyone's surprise, after passing through the gate of the Root Base and heading downwards, they found no danger after circling the Root Base, which they had only heard of before.

All that could be seen were the lifeless corpses of Root ninjas.

As for enemy corpses, there wasn't a single one.

Although they usually feared Root and kept their distance from Root ninjas, they were still members of Konoha. Seeing all the Root ninjas in the base die, right under the village's nose, the Konoha ninjas present were very silent.

Afterwards, Kakashi and the others carefully examined the scene and the bodies of all the dead Root ninjas, and came to a solemn conclusion.

The destruction of the root base was the work of one person.

"One person wipes out the entire Root? Who could do that?" Asma, who had also arrived, lit a cigarette to calm his emotions and asked.

That's the root!

They are even more terrifying than the Hidden Leaf Village's Anbu.

Even if the Hokage himself had taken action, the outcome wouldn't have been like this.

Suddenly, a person popped into Kakashi's mind.

But without supporting evidence, he didn't dwell on it further, instead looking around and frowning as he asked:

"Now there is still one crucial question: where is Elder Danzo?"

As an advisor and elder of Konoha, Danzo's status in Konoha was second only to the Hokage, which made it impossible for those present not to care.

Once they found that the Root base was safe, everyone stopped maintaining their battle formation and dispersed to search, but they couldn't find Elder Danzo anywhere.

"Could it be related to that deep pit on the ground?" someone cautiously suggested.

Kakashi's face darkened upon hearing this.

If that's the case, things will be terrible.

News of the complete annihilation of Root and the suspected death of Elder Danzo quickly reached Konoha.

It caused an uproar, and the whole village immediately became tense and on edge.

To the bewilderment of many villagers, a large number of Konoha ninjas moved back and forth on the rooftops.

The alert level for Konoha Village has been raised to the highest level.

With the Fifth Hokage away attending the Five Kage Summit, the two remaining Konoha advisors stepped forward and quickly dealt with the immediate situation.

“I’m going to the Root. I need to see for myself whether Danzo is really dead.”

With a solemn expression and a hint of sadness on his face, Mitokado Homura addressed his only remaining old friend.

"I'll leave the village to you for now. Also, inform Tsunade. But don't rush her back, since she'll be too late anyway. The Five Kage Summit has just started, and if she leaves in such a huff, it will only make the Four Kage look down on Konoha for no reason."

"I understand," said Koharu Tsurugi in a deep voice. "You should also be careful."

"Ah."

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 97 The system is no longer the junk system it used to be.

Konoha had raised its alert level to the highest level, almost to the point of taking the villagers to the refuge cave.

The instigator, Yu Yi Xuan Yue, was not in a hurry to leave.

After carefully storing away a large number of scrolls containing his spoils, and to avoid unnecessary trouble, he disguised himself and walked down the street, weaving through the chaotic crowd, and arrived at the Hokage Building with a clear purpose.

Because of the incident at Root, the village's defenses need to be strengthened and a lot of manpower is required. As a result, the security level of the Hokage Building, which was originally heavily guarded, has been reduced by several levels.

Yu Yi Xuan Yue easily avoided the obvious and hidden clues around the Hokage Building and stepped into this place that represents the highest authority of Konoha.

It was already night.

With the Fifth Hokage absent, the Hokage Building is pitch black.

Based on the information about Konoha obtained from Ari, as well as the data found in Root, Hagoromo Gengetsu quietly arrived near a secret room with a sealing barrier.

Noticing the two ANBU ninjas still guarding the door even at this time, as well as the hidden agents lurking in the darkness, Hagoromo Gengetsu knew she had come to the right place.

A few breaths later, a soft thud was heard as the person fell to the ground.

Yu Yi Xuan Yue held the last ANBU ninja who was still conscious but unable to struggle. As their eyes met, she quickly used her eye seal technique to invade the other's brain and search for relevant information.

"Oh? They actually sealed away the memories related to this secret room."

Yu Yi Xuan Yue was a little surprised.

But I didn't pay attention.

Given the vast difference in strength, coupled with the fact that the Pupil Imprint Technique originating from Ali itself possesses extremely high concealment in extracting memories from the brain.

Soon, the memories of the ANBU ninja in his possession opened up to him.

Throwing aside the now useless opponent, Yu Yi Xuan Yue formed hand seals with her hands facing the door of the secret chamber.

After a few breaths, the seals and hand seals placed on it dissipated.

The door opens.

What came into view was a room where the ground, walls, and even the ceiling were engraved with numerous sealing incantations, and in the center stood a single stone platform.

Yu Yixuanyue looked at the huge scroll placed on the stone platform.

This is precisely the goal of my trip.

The Book of Seals, which is very famous in Konoha.

After resolving her physical problems, Yu Yi Xuan Yue turned her attention to the issues of her soul.

This was also one of the reasons he came to Konoha.

In his plan, the Impure World Reincarnation Technique and the Corpse Demon Sealing Technique recorded in the Book of Seals would greatly help him to complete his soul.

Therefore, before leaving, he made a special trip to the Hokage Building.

Looking at the Book of Seals that was within easy reach, Yu Yi Xuan Yue was about to reach for it when she suddenly noticed something and paused.

"This is a sealing technique of the Uzumaki clan, and it's an extremely profound one."

Her gaze swept across the four walls again. The floor and ceiling were covered with dense sealing spells. Although Yu Yi Xuan Yue was not well-versed in sealing spells, after looking at them for a while, she could still tell that these sealing spells were all connected to the only stone platform in the room.

More precisely, it is the sealed book on the stone platform.

Once you touch the Book of Seals, the sealing spells in the entire room will be fully activated.

Yu Yi Xuan Yue saw within it a spell representing fire and destruction.

This means that if one forcibly picks up the Book of Seals without following the correct procedure, not only will the Book of Seals itself be instantly incinerated, but the entire room will also be completely burned, taking away anyone who tries to peek at the Book of Seals.
