The Root's Operation Begins! [2]

In the Uzumaki courtyard, Uzumaki Mito stood abruptly, her face dark.

"Not good! Yoruichi left the house?"

She clenched her fists, golden chakra from the Nine-Tails flaring around her body. Her eyes turned sharp like a fox's, and intricate sealing marks appeared on her skin.

"Foolishness. Someone is targeting the Senju Clan!"

With a light jump, she shot into the air, heading toward the disturbance.

In the Hokage's office, Hiruzen Sarutobi stood suddenly, tension filling the room.

At that moment, Orochimaru entered.

"Sensei—"

"Not now, Orochimaru," Hiruzen interrupted sharply.

"But this is important!"

"I said, out!"

Hiruzen glared, then vanished in an instant, his focus elsewhere.

"Tobirama's teachings... I should have known." He gritted his teeth as he sped toward Yoruichi's location.

"Danzō... I should've realized you'd stoop this low."

His voice turned bitter. "Even in the village, you'd dare act against him? The last bloodline of the Senju Clan? You've gone too far, Danzō."

---

In a shadowy alley, Yoruichi was surrounded by ten masked members of Root.

Kunai, shuriken, and insects swarmed him. Chakra-coated blades aimed to end him swiftly.

Yoruichi stood calm, his eyes narrowing. He formed hand seals.

"Wood Clone Technique!"

Dozens of clones appeared, intercepting every weapon aimed at him. Poison-tipped kunai struck clones, which burst into wood upon impact.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The Root operatives faltered. Yamanaka Fu, hidden behind his mask, gritted his teeth.

"This kid... He's using Wood Style to block everything?"

The two Aburame members released clouds of insects. Swarms buzzed toward Yoruichi, darkening the alley.

Yoruichi smirked. "Too slow."

He slammed his palms on the ground.

"Wood Style: Deep Forest Emergence!"

Thick trees erupted from the earth, shattering nearby buildings and spreading like wildfire.

Boom! Boom!

The wooden tendrils tangled and immobilized the Root members. Those trapped struggled, unable to escape.

Elsewhere, Minato Namikaze, mid-fight with a masked ninja, blinked as a branch shot out of the ground beneath his opponent, launching him skyward.

"Ahhh!"

The masked ninja screamed, flipping through the air before crashing hard into the ground.

Minato paused, raising an eyebrow at the strange sight. "... Millennium Kill?"

He spotted Yoruichi's technique from afar and whispered, "He's grown so strong..."

At the edge of the chaos, Mito landed with a loud crack as the ground beneath her feet shattered. Her golden Nine-Tails chakra blazed like a beacon.

"Minato?"

"Lady Mito, Yoruichi is inside."

Mito stared at the towering forest. For a moment, she saw Hashirama's image overlap with Yoruichi's. Her voice softened.

"Stay here. I'll handle this."

As she prepared to move, a large staff smashed into the ground beside her. Hiruzen appeared, his face grim.

"Third Hokage-sama!" Minato said in surprise.

Hiruzen nodded but flinched as Mito rounded on him, anger radiating from her.

"Hiruzen, how could you allow this madness in the village?!"

Hiruzen sighed deeply. "Lady Mito, calm yourself. Please trust me to handle this. Yoruichi will resolve it. Give him this chance."

Mito glared but held back, reluctantly lowering her chakra.

---

Meanwhile, the entire village was on high alert.

From a distance, Uchiha Fugaku and his patrol stopped as they saw the growing forest.

"What in the world is happening?" Fugaku muttered, his Sharingan spinning.

"Move!" he ordered his clan, and they rushed toward the commotion.

In the Hyuga compound, Hiashi and Hizashi activated their Byakugan, staring at the dense chakra flowing through the expanding forest.

"This is..." Hiashi frowned. "Incredible."

"Let's investigate," Hizashi suggested, and they moved quickly.

Elsewhere, members of the Nara, Akimichi, and Yamanaka clans turned their attention toward the disturbance, realizing this was no ordinary event.

The entire village was drawn to Yoruichi's overwhelming display of power.
