BOOM!
The boar‑masked operative was hurled violently backward as though struck by a crashing wave — tumbling in utter disarray.
“Together!”
He and the cat‑masked operative exchanged a sharp glance and reached the same decision.
Drawing their weapons, they charged in from two directions at once.
“You truly think I fear you?” Ryuu smiled coldly.
He knew Danzō was watching nearby — so he chose not to reveal the Rinnegan.
He held more than enough power of other kinds; without it, he could still crush two Root elite jonin easily.
And this was the perfect chance to test his new strength.
“Eight Gates Released Formation — First Gate: Gate of Opening, Open!”
“Second Gate: Gate of Healing, Open!”
“Third Gate: Gate of Life, Open!”
“Fourth Gate: Gate of Injury, Open!”
Ryuu unlocked the first four gates in silence — no dramatic shouts, which would have been ridiculous.
The moment the fourth gate opened, he became a swirling nexus of terrifying energy.
Power radiated from him in churning, palpable waves — so intense that the two Root ninjas felt as though the air itself had grown too heavy to breathe.
“What… this power…” Their faces blanched in horror.
SWISH!
In the next instant, Ryuu vanished.
Neither operative saw him move.
“Danger!”
A searing warning flashed through their minds — but it was already too late.
Ryuu appeared directly behind them, both fists blazing with concentrated energy like falling meteors.
He struck with devastating force. The source of this chapter is g.com.
Though both were elite jonin and twisted desperately to deflect him in mid‑air, their weapons never even touched him.
The sheer, overwhelming aura pouring from Ryuu’s body blasted them away before they could make contact.
CRACK!
CRACK!
Two thunderous impacts rang out.
Both Root ninjas were sent flying, spraying mouthfuls of blood as they sailed through the air.
They were already grievously wounded before they even hit the ground.
Before they could so much as stir, Ryuu closed the distance in a blur of speed granted by the opened Gates.
He descended with two precise, crushing kicks — stamping down directly upon their throats, snapping their necks instantly.
Two elite Root operatives — slain in the blink of an eye.
“Dead… they were killed… in an instant!”
Hidden watchers drew breath in unison, staring in disbelief.
Uchiha Ryuu had long been the clan’s laughingstock — a fool who ignored ninjutsu and genjutsu to waste his time on taijutsu.
How could such a monster have been hiding beneath that reputation?
“Taijutsu… how can taijutsu reach such heights?!
What fighting style is this?!” Danzō stepped from the shadows, his single eye wide with shock.
Had the bodies not lain plainly before him, he would have doubted his own vision.
“Hiruzen and I were wrong.
He did not defeat Asuma with genjutsu at all… he truly defeated him… with nothing but taijutsu!”
Danzō now believed he understood everything.
Still — those sunglasses remained suspicious.
Danzō meant to find out.
And more than that — he now burned with a second, far greater desire: to possess this terrifying taijutsu style for Root.
Just the thought of it made his pulse race.
“Uchiha Ryuu!” Danzō strode forward from the shadows, leaning on his cane, his single eye gleaming with covetous fire.
“We all underestimated you.”
“Danzō… you old fox.
Finally decided to show your face?” Ryuu glanced at him and smiled coldly.
Danzō nearly choked.
He was a disciple of the Second Hokage, a founding elder of the village, leader of Root — a man even the Third Hokage treated with deference.
And now this boy barely in his teens dared call him an old fox?
He burned with rage.
He had hoped to coax Ryuu into Root and slowly pry the secret of this technique from him — but that plan was crumbling.
“Seize him!
Alive — for now!” Danzō commanded, his voice thick with menace.
SWISH!
SWISH!
SWISH!
At his signal, Root ninjas emerged from every shadow — encircling Ryuu completely.
