Chapter 59: Quite the Contrary, You’re the Ones Surrounded

Beside the Naka River.

This place was located on the outskirts of Konoha.

It was where Reiji trained every day.

He first checked his system panel:

[Overall Strength: Strong Pseudo-Kage]

[Sharingan Eye Power: LV3 (4800/5000)]

[Chakra: LV4 (4500/5000)]

During this period, his eye power had increased somewhat.

Reiji could feel that he was only one opportunity away from truly reaching the level of the Mangekyo Sharingan!

His strength in his normal state was already approaching the Kage level.

Once his Sharingan eye power reached the Mangekyo level, combined with the new talent analyzed by the system, his strength would undergo another tremendous leap!

His own strength was the true confidence he had in facing the crisis of the Uchiha Clan’s extermination.

Suddenly.

A faint disturbance came from the surroundings.

Reiji’s heart stirred, but he calmly activated his Sharingan without revealing anything.

Seeing that they had already been exposed, the newcomers no longer bothered hiding themselves.

Four masked Root shinobi jumped out directly and formed hand seals simultaneously:

"Ninjutsu: Four Violet Flames Formation!"

Buzz!

A huge purple rectangular barrier completely surrounded Reiji.

Translucent purple walls stood on all four sides, even blocking off the sky.

The enormous barrier instantly enveloped an area spanning several hundred meters around them!

At this moment.

The Root shinobi who had been lying in ambush nearby also stopped hiding themselves one after another.

Rustle, rustle, rustle!

One masked Root shinobi after another emerged from the woods and bushes.

Ten, twenty, thirty...

Reiji took a rough look around.

There were probably forty or fifty Root shinobi, completely surrounding him!

"Heh heh, Uchiha Reiji, with such a huge lineup, even if you die today, you can die without regrets."

Danzo stood behind the large group of Root shinobi and laughed coldly.

Having learned from the failure of his previous attack on Shisui, this time he had practically sent the entire Root organization into action.

All of Root’s elites were now inside the Four Violet Flames Formation!

This was not only to ensure that Uchiha Reiji would be eliminated, but also to guard against his Eight Gates.

Danzo was deeply wary of this forbidden technique that could unleash tremendous potential at critical moments.

He did not know how many gates the other party had currently mastered.

However.

With the entire Root organization mobilized, even if the other party had mastered the Eight Gates, it would still be useless!

"You finally came. I’ve been waiting for you for so many days."

Reiji merely curled the corners of his mouth upward, saying something that left Danzo completely unable to understand.

"You’re already surrounded by us. Why are you still putting on a brave front?"

Danzo sneered.

With the barrier blocking everything, not only could the other party not escape, but the disturbances from the battle would also have difficulty spreading outside.

Even if someone outside wanted to come in and provide assistance, they would be unable to pass through the barrier.

Today’s operation was foolproof!

However.

The smile on Reiji’s face grew increasingly pronounced, as though he had finally received a long-awaited gift.

"Quite the contrary. Actually, you’re the ones who are surrounded by me."

...

In the woods nearby.

Uchiha Rika and Uchiha Goka were hiding there.

The two of them were trusted subordinates whom Reiji had cultivated within the Police Force.

"So many people? Can the captain really handle them?"

Uchiha Goka was somewhat worried.

The Root organization could be said to have mobilized everyone.

Yet the captain was actually facing them all alone.

Wasn’t he being a little too confident?

"Trust the captain’s strength."

Uchiha Rika took a deep breath and steadied himself before saying:

"The captain must have his own considerations for doing this. We just need to follow the plan."

Uchiha Goka nodded, a fierce look flashing in his eyes.

"Good. You stay here and keep an eye on the situation. I’ll go bring everyone from the Second Division."

"Today, we absolutely have to make sure that old bastard Danzo and his Root forces are left here for good!"
