Ayane quickly opened her Byakugan with the remaining chakra in her body and scanned the situation outside.

"Who is he? Sand ninja?"

"No. It's a ninja at the root."

Ayane had some gritted teeth on her face.

If they hadn't been ninjas at their core, the three of them wouldn't have been so miserable and fell into such a life-or-death situation.

"Are you planning to be the last oriole?"

Bai Shi murmured, a cold look flashed in his eyes.

The Suna ninja's pursuit force was almost eliminated by the three of them, but they didn't expect that the root ninjas would keep following them.

"They were able to avoid your Byakugan before. They know very well that the observation distance of your Byakugan is five kilometers. They know a lot of our intelligence."

"All of them?"

"I don't have one here, otherwise the ANBU directly under the Hokage would have contacted me long ago."

Shiraishi analyzed calmly.

According to Ruri's initial information, although the Roots were also a branch of the ANBU, the leader was not the Hokage himself, but Shimura Danzo, another senior elder of Konoha.

Shiraishi can't yet tell what the other party's purpose is.

Whether it was to eliminate Hatake Sakumo, the leader of Sakumo's team, or whether it was aimed at the three of them, Shiraishi didn't know.

"What should we do now?"

Ayane didn't know what to do. She had very little chakra left. She hadn't practiced natural energy yet, so she couldn't provide much fighting power.

"Go out and meet them. Liuli is out of danger, so it doesn't matter if you interrupt the operation."

Shiraishi finished the medical ninjutsu and put Liuli here.

Ayane nodded and walked out of the cave with Shiraishi.

As expected, there were four figures standing outside. They were the root team that first came into contact with Shiraishi and the others.

They wear masks with cold colors that make people feel uncomfortable, and their cold eyes are as heartless as machines.

They stood in a row without moving, just staring at the two Shiraishis indifferently.

Just when one of them waved his hand and prepared to attack, Shiraishi took action one step ahead.

The one he attacked was not the root ninja, but Ayane.

He pinned Ayane face to the ground and twisted her hands behind her back.

"Shiraishi-kun!?"

Ayane was startled. She was too exhausted to react and was pinned down by Shiraishi.

Shiraishi said in a helpless tone: "Can't you see the situation clearly now? I didn't expect you to be such a stupid woman. I don't want to die with you, I want to live well."

After saying that, he looked up at the four people at the root and said to the captain among them: "I am a medical ninja. I am the lowest threat to you and the most useful. I am willing to join you, whether you use spells to control me or

Okay, poison control is good, I don’t want to die. How about giving me a chance?”

The captain was really thinking about it.

Indeed, as Shiraishi said, his threat is the lowest, and they are currently in urgent need of medical ninjas to conduct taboo human experiments.

As for whether Shiraishi will betray him or not, there is no need to consider it at all. Once he gets into their roots, freedom and other things are out of his control.

"I appreciate your self-awareness, so I'll give you a chance."

The captain ninja threw a kunai and stuck it at Shiraishi's feet.

"Kill the woman under you."

"good."

Baishi didn't hesitate. Although there was a fleeting look of struggle on his face, it was quickly replaced by ferocious look.

He picked up the kunai, pointed it at Ayane's neck and started stabbing it.

However, a shuriken flew over and knocked the kunai out of Shiraishi's hand.

Shiraishi looked at the four people at Genbe in confusion, and it was one of them who interrupted his attack.

"Your determination is good, but it is not good to execute the ninjas of your own village casually."

The captain ninja said extremely hypocritically.

After all, he has inherited the blood line of Byakugan. Even if he is separated from the family, a living body is more useful than a dead body.

Moreover, there is not much chakra left in the opponent's body, so there is nothing to worry about.

"I understand. I don't want to bear the reputation of killing my own companions."

Captain Ninja is very satisfied with Shiraishi's awareness of current affairs.

I firmly believe that Shiraishi will become a good root medical ninja.

With this kind of belief, it is easier to live longer.

The two root ninjas walked towards Shiraishi.

Shiraishi consciously stood aside and raised his hands empty, showing a very cooperative and submissive attitude without any threat.

"I didn't expect you to be such a person. It's a shame that Liuli and I trust you so much."

A root ninja took out a rope and tied Ayane's hands behind her back. Ayane glared at Shiraishi with angry eyes.

"Compared to living, this kind of thing doesn't matter at all. This era is too bad. Unlike you, I don't come from a wealthy family. Everything can only be obtained through my own efforts."

Shiraishi didn't want to argue.

Another root ninja also came behind Shiraishi, and also took out the rope and moved it towards Shiraishi's raised gloves.

Poof!

The root ninja who was about to tie Shiraishi's hands behind his back didn't notice anything. He only heard the sound of the blade cutting his body, and the vision in front of him became darker and darker.

At the last moment of consciousness, he seemed to see a headless body and hands holding ropes.

Are those my body and hands?

Illusion?

He fell into such thoughts, and his consciousness was interrupted here.

"Varied--"

Also without enough time to react, the blade he took out from nowhere penetrated the root ninja standing next to Ayane and stabbed his heart mercilessly.

The blade was pulled out from the ninja's body at the base, and it was stained with blood red.

At this time, the rope that tied Ayane's hands was cut and she was free again.

Shiraishi held the blood-stained ninja sword and smiled gently at the two remaining root ninjas:

"How about it? My swordsmanship is pretty good. Although I can't compare with Sakumo-sensei's swordsmanship, I can still surprise all of you."

"You little brat!"

impossible!

His chakra should be almost exhausted!

And... how can a medical ninja be so fast?

Isn't he a medical ninja?

Even jonin, not everyone can reach this level.

Is this guy the most troublesome among the three? You can imagine the shock in Captain Ninja's heart.

But after being shocked, he fell into anger.

The smile on Shiraishi's face remained the same, and no other emotional changes could be seen.

"What a surprise, I actually see anger in your eyes. I heard that you are just machines to complete tasks...Do machines also have feelings? But please don't show this look, because my anger now is far away from you.
