Leading Naruto to Destroy the World - Chapter 53
“Quickly, take care of that disgusting thing!”
Danzo urgently commanded.
In a brief time, the strange silver fluid seeping from Naruto’s shadow had already killed three Root members in a gruesome manner.
Even Danzo, who had seen countless horrors as Root’s leader, had never encountered such a sinister attack. It seemed as if an otherworldly horror had descended upon them.
After killing three Root members, the silver fluid showed no signs of stopping. It enveloped Naruto’s body and extended its tendrils toward the surrounding Root members.
Hearing Danzo’s command, the Root members tried to eliminate the silver fluid but had no idea how to do so. Their attacks did not affect the fluid. Thrown shurikens embedded into it without causing harm, and ninjutsu attacks merely caused it to scatter before it reformed momentarily.
“AAAAHHHH!!!”
In a short time, another Root member was killed. A silver tendril pierced through his chest, lifting his body and throwing it into the forest.
Gan and Bun, who had brought Naruto, were terrified by the sight. They had risked their lives to retrieve Naruto from the Uchiha compound, expecting rewards from Danzo, but now faced this nightmare.
Fear enveloped them.
“Damn it! Is that thing protecting the Jinchuriki?!”
Though they couldn’t understand the composition of the fluid, its behavior was apparent—it killed anyone who got close to Naruto.
“Useless! All of you are useless!!!”
Danzo furiously pounded the ground with his cane, his single eye bloodshot. His carefully trained Root members couldn’t even handle this monstrosity. They were near the Uchiha compound; if Miraifound out, who knew what would happen.
They had to take Naruto to the Root base quickly.
“You, stall that silver monster! The rest of you, follow me with the Jinchuriki!”
Danzo’s command was irrefutable. The chosen Root members turned pale, knowing they were sent to their deaths. All their attacks had been futile, while the silver monster killed them effortlessly.
“Yes.”
As Root members, they had no choice. Their fate was to obey, even if it meant death.
Danzo grabbed the unconscious Naruto and leaped towards the Root base.
Sensing his intention, the silver fluid extended a tendril to wrap around Naruto’s leg.
“Damn it! What is this thing?!”
Danzo was alarmed. He struggled to remove the silver fluid, but it flowed from Naruto’s body to attack him.
Sensing danger, Danzo’s eyes widened. He quickly threw Naruto to a nearby Root member.
The unfortunate Root member, still processing the situation, was immediately pierced by the silver fluid, screaming in pain.
“Quick! Pass him to the next person!”
Following Danzo’s order, the Root member, despite the agony, threw the unconscious Naruto to another comrade before falling.
The next Root member, too, was attacked by the silver fluid, emitting a wretched scream.
Before dying, he obeyed Danzo’s command, passing Naruto to the next Root member.
A bizarre scene unfolded: each Root member who caught Naruto would scream and fall, only to pass him to the next in a grim relay.
A chilling, tragic atmosphere spread among the remaining Root members. They looked at Naruto with horror as if he were a harbinger of death.
This wasn’t a Jinchuriki; it was a sleeping Grim Reaper!
Danzo’s eyes burned with anger. In such a short time, he had already lost ten Root members to transfer Naruto.
Each Root member represented a significant investment in training and resources. Such a loss was like cutting away his flesh.
But it would be worth it if he could get Naruto to the Root base. Once the curse mark was placed on Naruto, his life would be in Danzo’s hands.
At that point, Mirai would have to submit.
Danzo’s eye gleamed coldly.
…
Meanwhile, Namikaze Mirai, using his biological sensing ability to the fullest, had locked onto Naruto’s location.
“Danzo! You must be tired of living!”
His azure eyes were colder than ever.
Judging by their direction, they were headed to the Root base.
Taking Naruto there meant using him as leverage against Mirai.
In an instant, Mirai understood Danzo’s plan and was filled with murderous intent.
Danzo, not even Jesus can save you this time!
I swear it!
Violent blue lightning arcs enveloped Mirai’s body, boosting his speed as he shot forward.
The few Root members left by Danzo to delay him noticed Mirai approaching.
“Quick! Stop him!”
“Buy time for Lord Danzo!”
The Root members simultaneously formed hand seals, slamming their palms to the ground.
“Earth Style! Earth Flow Wall!”
With a rumbling roar, thick earth walls rose to block Mirai’s path.
Knowing Mirai’s strength, they realized they couldn’t stop him but hoped to delay him.
The next second!
BOOM!!!
With a loud explosion, the combined Earth Flow Wall shattered like Mirai paper, effortlessly piercing it.
His speed barely slowed.
“It’s over!”
Mirai’s icy expression was reflected in their eyes, and the Root members felt a profound fear, an emotion they hadn’t experienced since becoming emotionless soldiers.
Endless fear!
In an instant!
Mirai, speeding forward, spread out several silver blades.
SQUELCH!!!
Accompanied by the dull sound of flesh being torn, seven Root members were killed before they could even react, their bodies exploding into pieces.
Mirai’s speed didn’t diminish.
His eyes filled with unyielding coldness, and he set his sights on the Root base.
This time, he would slaughter everything!
