Chapter 29

Today's chapter early as well because I'm not sure how long my phone will last.

***

Naruto's body was enveloped in a faint golden Chakra.

And Sakura was being held by the collar, not embraced.

So Kakashi and Sasuke quickly understood who the person in front of them was.

The worry and self-blame on their faces dissipated, and they let out a long sigh of relief.

Kaze, whose name was called out by Kakashi, casually waved the unharmed Sakura in his hand, showing no reaction.

Then he casually threw her on the ground.

"Thank you for saving me!"

Although she was thrown on the ground like trash, without any tenderness or consideration, Sakura didn't dare to complain. She immediately got up and bowed to express her gratitude.

When she was held and couldn't break free earlier, she thought she was doomed and closed her eyes in despair.

Unexpectedly, at the critical moment, Kaze came out and kicked away the enemy who had grabbed her.

Moreover, he had that cool golden Chakra on him, and his hairstyle and demeanor were much cooler than Naruto's original ones.

He was like a version of Naruto that surpassed Sasuke, no, even cooler than Sasuke!

It's a pity that she was held in his hand; if she had been carried princess-style...

Thinking of this, Sakura's face instantly turned red, and she bent down and didn't dare to lift her body.

To be honest, she felt herself starting to like Naruto's powerful and reassuring alter ego.

Sasuke, who followed right behind Kakashi, looked at the faint golden Chakra on Kaze's body with suspicion.

"Is this faint golden Chakra the Nine-Tails' Chakra?"

"No, it's completely different from the evil and violent feeling before, but rather a gentle sensation!"

Sasuke's perception was accurate, and Kaze gave him an appreciative look.

No wonder Orochimaru took an interest in him; his ninja qualities and talents were excellent.

It's just a pity that his heart is not firm, and he keeps changing his thoughts and lacks self-awareness.

This led to him being like a double-faced clown in the original plot.

Kakashi also looked at Kaze with a complicated expression.

"Thank you, luckily you appeared in time, or else I would have lost my cute student due to my carelessness."

Kakashi originally thought that Danzo would only target himself and Naruto.

He didn't think he would go all out against unrelated personnel.

It's no wonder The Hokage reminded him to be cautious of Danzo after leaving the village.

"And your strength and utilization of Nine-Tails' Chakra, it's only been a little over a month... Your talent is terrifying."

Thinking of Kaze's speed when he appeared earlier, Kakashi couldn't help but be amazed.

His Sharingan could barely keep up, and Kaze was even faster than when he used Raikiri.

If he were to fight Kaze now, he wouldn't be surprised if he lost.

Naruto, who was replaced by Kaze in consciousness, also noticed the faint golden Nine-Tails' Chakra along with Kakashi and Sasuke.

"Wow! Kaze, how did your Nine-Tails' Chakra change like this?"

"It's completely different from before, now it's powerful and cool, and there's no bad aura!"

"Can you teach me? If I can be like this, Sakura will definitely give up on Sasuke and fall for me!"

The continuous questions in his mind and out loud made Kaze's head ache a bit, so he coldly explained.

"Before, because it was towards enemies, I didn't bother to remove the aura attached to the Nine-Tails' Chakra. That's how it is."

Kaze wasn't lying or making excuses.

The Nine-Tails' Chakra was red, but when the impure aura attached to it was removed, the pure Chakra turned golden.

He didn't understand the principle behind it, but maybe it looked cooler this way?

However, he actually preferred the original Nine-Tails' Chakra, with its unrestrained and sinister aura that made him feel comfortable.

Seeing that the others still wanted to ask more, Kaze grew impatient and pointed towards the distance.

"Stop asking pointless questions. I'm really irritated right now!"

Danzo had been causing trouble again and again, which infuriated Kaze.

He was preparing to exchange for another wave of power after the mission in the Land of Waves is completed.

Then, according to Danzo's wish, he will let Naruto go to the Root and have some fun.

On the other side, taking advantage of everyone's attention no longer being on them, the Root ninjas quietly retreated to the base of the trees.

When they saw Kaze pointing at them, they immediately stopped sneaking around and dispersed.

Knowing Kaze's strength well, they fled in five different directions, planning to survive as many as they could.

Seeing them running away, Kakashi, with a stern face, intended to chase after them but was stopped by Kaze.

"I love playing hide and seek the most. Don't disturb my excitement, understand?"

The menacing look and killing intent on Kaze's face made Kakashi feel a chill all over his body.

Without saying much, he obediently stayed in place.

In his consciousness, Naruto seemed to sense Kaze's thoughts and asked hurriedly,

"Kaze, are you planning to kill them with cruel methods again?"

"You can't do that! They're just trying to complete their mission!"

Kaze coldly chuckled without saying a word, his body suddenly turned into an illusion and disappeared on the spot.

Naruto's subconscious mind was defenseless against him.

If he really didn't want those people to die, he could naturally regain control of the body.

But now, deep down in Naruto's subconscious, he clearly wished for those people to die.

Speaking these words was clearly to establish an alibi, to shift the blame for those people's deaths onto him and reduce the burden on himself.

At the same time, Kaze could also sense Naruto's subconscious control and suppression.

He knew very well that once those people died, Naruto would immediately regain control of the body and severely criticize and suppress him.

But so what?

If Naruto treated him kindly, he might feel a bit bad for killing Naruto!

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

Just as Naruto finished speaking, all five fleeing individuals were kicked out of the woods.

Four of them had their limbs severed by sharp blades, leaving only their torsos lying on the ground in agonizing pain.

Kaze calmly descended from the trees.

On the tips of his three golden fox tails, there were still traces of dripping blood.

"Monster! Demon fox!"

"If you have the guts, kill us!"

The only surviving Root ninja shouted at Fūshin as if he had seen a devil, his voice hoarse and desperate.

"So noisy."

Kaze coldly clenched his fist, cracking his knuckles.

The fox tails behind him rose like sword blades, aiming at the Root ninja.

And in an instant, they pierced out like lightning.

"Ah!!!"

The Root ninja's arms on both sides were instantly pierced and torn apart.

But the wounds mysteriously didn't bleed.

"Leaving one to deliver the message... Having both legs should be enough."

As he spoke, a strand of pale golden chakra separated and turned red like fresh blood, giving an ominous feeling.

This blood red condensed into a thin thread and quickly connected the four torsos and the legs of the Root ninja.

After completing all this, Kaze's fox tails curled up again.

In an instant, the Root ninja was swept into the woods.

The connected torsos on the ground were dragged like kites, suspended in mid-air.

"Get lost."

"When you go back, make sure to have Danzo clean up his behind, lest my feet get dirty when I kick his ass!"
