Chapter 108: The Bloody Slaughter Begins

As more and more Root ninjas appeared, Sasuke knew that if they didn't break through the encirclement quickly, things would only get more troublesome. He glanced at Haku, who was visibly trembling.

This kind of situation was likely something Haku had never encountered before, even when following Zabuza.

Sasuke slowly drew a kunai and his gaze lingered on Haku.

"Go!"

The next second, Sasuke's voice rang out.

At the same time, Kimimaro's figure exploded forward, heading toward the nearest Root ninja. His speed was astonishing, and the sudden burst of motion left the Root ninja barely able to react.

The ninja tried to raise his hand to block Kimimaro's attack with a kunai, but the next moment, a bone spike shot out from Kimimaro's elbow, instantly piercing the ninja's throat.

Blood sprayed from his neck.

The other Root ninjas immediately darkened their expressions.

These people who stole the Sealing Scroll were indeed no weaklings.

"Attack! Don't give them a chance to strike!"

Don't give them a chance to strike?

Sasuke's eyes were fixed on the one who had been speaking all along.

To catch the leader first. The number of Root ninjas was becoming overwhelming, so Sasuke needed to intimidate them a little, to make it easier to break through without expending too much effort.

Sasuke formed a hand seal with one hand.

A simple rat seal.

The next second!

CRACK~~BOOM!!

A deafening sound of thunder suddenly rang out.

The terrifying lightning flashed in the sky.

'Lightning Style~ Lightning Body Flicker!!!'

In the horrified gazes of the Root ninjas.

A flash of lightning suddenly appeared before their captain.

And at the moment the lightning dissipated, a kunai easily pierced through his skull.

Blood mixed with brain matter exploded violently!

The blood droplets scattered in the air, slowly blooming like lotus flowers.

Sasuke's hand gently gripped the kunai, pulling it out.

His body swiftly darted backward.

One strike!

He instantly killed the captain of the Root ninjas.

Sasuke felt the sensation of life being stolen in an instant.

This is the feeling of slaughter.

This feeling... is quite nice.

The sensation of controlling the power of life and death is indeed intoxicating.

No wonder so many people, after growing stronger, transform from superheroes into nationalists.

This feeling... even Sasuke couldn't help but feel a bit obsessed with it.

"Captain??"

Thud!

Looking at the captain lying on the ground, the Root ninjas were stunned.

This seemingly small guy, instantly killed their captain?

All the Root ninjas stood frozen, as if they were paralyzed.

Even Kimimaro looked at Sasuke with surprise.

'Clean and swift, this kid… is probably a natural-born killing monster!'

"Be careful, these guys are tough to deal with!"

The Root ninjas wouldn't retreat just because their captain was killed.

Although they were shocked and indeed felt fear, the battle had to continue.

Sasuke turned his kunai around, raising his hand to watch the Root ninjas in front of him carefully guarding against him!

Sasuke took a deep breath.

Hand seals began.

'Fire Style~ Fire Dragon Flame Jutsu!'

Boom!

A massive fire erupted instantly, forming a terrifying fire wave, which rushed wildly toward the Root ninjas.

In that instant, the Root ninjas were shocked.

This guy's Fire Style is so overwhelming.

And it seemed like he made the hand seals with one hand, barely any hand signs at all.

This meant that the opponent had mastered the jutsu to an extremely proficient level. The flames rushed in an instant.

The firewaves slammed into houses, and in the blink of an eye, were consumed by the Fire Style.

"Water Style!"

"Water Chaos Wave!" ×4

Four Root ninjas released Water Style jutsus. When the fire and water collided, an earth-shattering sound erupted.

At the same time, a thick mist filled the air.

The combined efforts of the four Root ninjas barely managed to block Sasuke's Fire Style.

However, before they could even catch their breath.

Crack!

Thunder echoed.

'Lightning Style~ Lightning Body Flicker Flash!'

Sasuke performed successive hand seals.

The chakra within him was rapidly depleted, but Sasuke needed extreme speed.

Every time the lightning flashed, Sasuke appeared behind one of the Root ninjas, striking swiftly.

The kunai slit their necks.

The moment the blood sprayed out, Sasuke's figure disappeared.

He rushed toward the next Root ninja.

Amidst the water vapor and mist, Sasuke's figure moved like a ghost.

He kept darting through the crowd.

In just a few breaths' time.

When the mist dispersed.

Dozens of Root ninjas.

Were already lying dead on the ground.

With one hand making hand seals and the other holding the blood-stained kunai, Sasuke mercilessly harvested the lives of these ninjas.

The air was thick with the scent of blood.

Kimimaro casually crushed the neck of a Root ninja, then turned to look at Sasuke.

He was now quite pleased with Sasuke.

Haku had also taken care of two of the weaker Root ninjas.

In the blink of an eye, only five or six Root ninjas remained surrounding the three of them.

Although there seemed to be more shadows flashing from behind, and they were constantly rushing forward.

The exit was not far from where Sasuke and the others were.

Escaping from Konoha was no longer a big issue.

Sasuke looked at the Root ninjas rushing from the distance, threw a few kunai.

He turned to look at the dazed Haku. "Let's go!"

Haku nodded, though she now felt Sasuke was somewhat terrifying.

So this was it!

Sasuke Uchiha!

So strong, in just a few breaths, he had taken down dozens of ninjas.

The clean and swift kills were enough to make anyone shudder.

The three of them darted toward the gap in the defense, and as the Root ninjas following behind them crossed the battlefield Sasuke and his group had left.

They looked at the fallen 'comrades' on the ground, and were equally shocked.

These three, in just a few breaths, had killed dozens of Root ninjas?

Boom!!

Suddenly, an explosion rang out, as the explosive tags left by Sasuke detonated.

The second batch of Root ninjas, about twenty of them, were now reduced to only a few survivors!

The smoke in the air carried the pungent scent of blood.

Kimimaro nodded in satisfaction.

The timing of the explosive tag was expertly calculated.

Sasuke Uchiha, truly worthy of being the container Lord Orochimaru had chosen. His talent is indeed astonishing.

"Several!"

"You... don't seem like Anbu ninjas!"

Suddenly, a strange voice rang out.

Just as the three of them were about to approach the gap, a figure appeared.

But this person was not unfamiliar to Sasuke...
