Chapter 274

How could a normal human body have something like that inside it!

The surging fire forced back the two people disguised as maids.

At the same time, it also broke their disguise.

Accompanied by a puff of white smoke, the two disguised figures reverted to the attire of Konoha's 'Root' division.

"It really is you."

Boss Kaku scanned his surroundings; more than a dozen people had appeared out of nowhere.

They were all members of 'Root'.

In normal times, Boss Kaku wouldn't be afraid at all.

But not now.

With a burden behind him, Boss Kaku couldn't focus on the enemy.

Being so hesitant and cautious, his strength would naturally be discounted.

"Attack!"

At Aburame Tatsuma's command, all the 'Root' members acted simultaneously.

Shuriken and kunai flew in from all directions.

All the attacks were aimed at Boss Kaku.

"There's no other way."

Boss Kaku didn't take these attacks to heart.

But wanting to eliminate all the Root members while keeping Princess Asaka safe was clearly not a realistic task.

Fortunately.

Boss Kaku was also prepared.

"Excuse me."

He first apologized, then flashed with Princess Asaka to a safe position.

Afterward, he took out a scroll and, with a *bang*, transformed it into a tree branch.

"Boss, I'm counting on you!"

Boss Kaku shouted, then immediately injected chakra into the branch.

The withered branch was instantly activated, and its shape expanded rapidly.

In an instant, it actually turned into the likeness of Senju Xingye!

This was precisely the contingency plan Senju Xingye had used to protect Boss Kaku.

When Boss Kaku encountered danger, he could activate it by injecting chakra into the branch.

The branch would immediately turn into Senju Xingye's wood clone.

Of course, the flaw of this wood clone was that it possessed a relatively small amount of chakra.

Only at the level of a Kage.

If there were too many enemies, or if the enemies were too strong, there was nothing that could be done.

Aburame Tatsuma and the others saw Senju Xingye's wood clone appear, but they had no intention of stopping.

Although Danzo wasn't great in other aspects, he was indeed quite impressive when it came to training and brainwashing.

At the very least, this group of 'Root' members had been trained by Danzo to be completely obedient and to follow orders absolutely.

But perhaps because of that, they lacked some flexibility...

After being activated, Senju Xingye quickly glanced at the situation on the field.

Then, he chose the fastest way to eliminate the enemies.

"Wood Style—Deep Forest Emergence!"

*Clap! *

He clapped his hands together, and a large number of branches suddenly erupted from the ground with a rumble.

The previously desolate area was instantly replaced by countless trees.

And the 'Root' members were now truly going to become nutrients for this forest.

But as Danzo's right-hand man, Aburame Tatsuma naturally wouldn't be defeated so easily.

He first used an insect clone to break free from the state of being controlled, then silently attacked Boss Kaku.

Because he had seen with his own eyes that the Senju Xingye in front of him was transformed from a tree branch and was not the real Senju Xingye at all.

Fighting it was a complete waste of time and also a waste of a precious opportunity for a sneak attack.

But.

Under this completely controlled situation, how could Aburame Tatsuma's sneak attack possibly succeed?

The moment Aburame Tatsuma broke free, Senju Xingye noticed it.

But he played along, appearing as if he hadn't noticed.

Boss Kaku was also a Kage-level powerhouse and naturally noticed it too.

But his choice was the same as Senju Xingye's: to act as if he didn't know.

The master and servant tacitly completed a round of coordination, appearing relaxed as they prepared to converse, while in reality, they were constantly keeping an eye on the hidden Aburame Tatsuma.

Got him!

Aburame Tatsuma thought to himself, his right hand, stained with poisonous insects, quickly reaching for Boss Kaku's heart.

But clearly, someone was faster than him.

Countless vines instantly bound Aburame Tatsuma tightly.

Boss Kaku didn't even look back; another masked monster suddenly emerged from his back.

"Lightning Style—!"

Lightning instantly pierced through Aburame Tatsuma's chest.

With this, one of Danzo's right-hand men, the genius of the Aburame clan, Aburame Tatsuma, was killed instantly.

The other 'Root' ninjas had already been sucked dry into human husks during the previous Deep Forest Emergence to replenish the chakra maintaining the wood clone.

Only then did Senju Xingye turn his gaze to Princess Asaka, who had been staring at him intently since just a moment ago.

"What happened? Who is she?"

Boss Kaku put away the Earth Grudge Fear masked monster and then gave a simple explanation of the situation in the Land of Earth.

"You're even more handsome in person than in photos!"

Princess Asaka was like a little fan girl chasing a star, her eyes sparkling. ===== CHAPTER 278 =====
