Uchiha Clan Compound.
Dark clouds obscured the bright moon in the sky, and the howling wind made a whimpering sound.
Yang Tao and Sasuke walked out of the main house, looked at the ink-black sky, and softly said, "What a dark and windy night for murder… Since you're here, come out."
As soon as he finished speaking.
Several figures appeared in the Uchiha courtyard, dressed in uniform combat suits, with ninja short swords on their backs, and white Anbu masks on their faces.
"Uchiha Sasuke, come with us."
A glance at their masks was enough to identify these guys as members of Root, Danzo's subordinate organization.
"Sasuke, go on, let me see if you've been slacking off during this time."
Not everyone in Root was a Jonin; these guys in front of them were at most Chunin. With Sasuke's current strength, facing several Chunin surrounding him might be tricky, but only tricky.
As soon as he finished speaking.
Sasuke had already drawn his Kusanagi Sword (straight katana) and charged towards the nearest Root member.
A flash of electricity appeared on the blade of the Kusanagi Sword.
Pfft.
A puff of white smoke dissipated; clearly, this was the Root member's Shadow Clone.
'Wind Release: Great Breakthrough…'
A gust of wind swept towards Sasuke, but Sasuke, with his Sharingan, easily dodged the attack.
However, these Root members cooperated well; the Great Breakthrough was merely to force Sasuke aside. A Root member, short sword in hand, was already closing in on Sasuke.
Bang…
The Kusanagi Sword and the short sword collided, and instantly, a gash appeared on the sharp blade of the short sword.
Just then, Sasuke's Sharingan tomoe spun rapidly. The Root member, who was grappling with Sasuke to buy time for his comrades, softened and fell to the ground.
Yang Tao stood on the wooden steps at the room's entrance, watching the battle in the courtyard with interest.
'Indeed, ninja battles from this era are still a pleasure to watch.'
Unfortunately, later, the entire Naruto World's art style was directly skewed by the First Hokage. Previously, to show how amazing ninjas were, there were things like single-handed seals, or how many seals in a second. Later, it was just two hands clapped together, and whatever you wanted, you got.
Even the protagonist Naruto relied on one trick to conquer the world: Rasengan and its variations.
It had a certain beauty, like a Type 59 tank modification.
Pfft!
Another Anbu was dealt with by Sasuke.
Just as Yang Tao was watching with relish, a Kunai flew towards his back, but it stopped a few centimeters from his body.
"Are Root Ninja so immoral? Killing even spectators?"
Failing to strike, the Root Ninja behind him quickly retreated.
Finger Pistol.
A semi-transparent attack accurately struck the assailant, and the Finger Pistol's attack pierced through the opponent's body.
"They're all just puppets…"
He slightly wiggled his fingers, took out the Yamato from his backpack, and the next moment, his figure appeared beside the opponent.
The sharp blade had already slit the opponent's throat.
The corpse fell to the ground.
But Yang Tao had no intention of stopping. Carrying the Yamato, he appeared beside another Root member.
A simple, unadorned normal attack.
The opponent immediately raised the short sword in his hand. With a swish, the short sword was easily sliced open by the Yamato, which continued its momentum and cut into the opponent's body.
A wound that pierced through the opponent's chest, but no blood flowed out. The blood-drinking Yamato seemed to have turned a little redder.
These fodder had just piqued Yang Tao's interest when they all fell lifelessly to the ground.
"Couldn't even last two minutes. As expected, they're just background fodder."
Looking at the corpses on the ground, Sasuke recalled the scene from that night and couldn't help but rub his forehead.
"Let's go, let's check out Root. Oh, by the way, Sasuke, do you know where the Root entrance is?"
Sasuke, who had been lost in thought, heard Yang Tao's words, felt a little better, and coldly said, "I don't know."
"Before I met you, I didn't even know about Root."
Looking at the Root members lying on the ground, Yang Tao said helplessly, "I should have kept one alive…"
"Let's go out and wander around first. If worst comes to worst, we'll go find the Third…"
Boom…
A violent explosion sound came from a distance. Yang Tao looked in the direction of the sound and saw the distant sky illuminated orange-red by a burst of Chakra.
Sasuke's expression changed slightly as he said, "It's the Nine-Tailed Fox Chakra…"
"Heh heh, the caged beast has turned on its master. This is going to be fun. Let's go, let's check it out."
The two quickly moved towards the direction of the sound. By the time they arrived, a large number of ninjas who had heard the commotion had already gathered. Instantly, prompts kept popping up in Yang Tao's vision.
[World Exploration Value 35.55%]
'Might Guy is troublesome.'
He had already witnessed the fighting power of Eight Gates Guy in the Battle Tower. Very strong, extremely strong.
Fortunately, his attacks were considered physical attacks, and the Battlesign and Quantum Armor could easily handle him.
Among the crowd, Naruto's body was enveloped in red Chakra. He had completely lost his sanity. Three tails swayed behind him, and a fourth tail was continuously growing out.
A huge opening appeared on the ground, and through the darkness, some space could be seen beneath the ground.
Feeling the Chakra on Naruto's body, all the ninjas at this moment recalled the Nine-Tails' Attack.
"How could the Jinchuriki go berserk?"
"Did the seal fail?"
Around Naruto were only some Anbu and Root Ninja; Danzo was nowhere to be seen.
Dozens of them continuously used various restrictive Ninjutsu, but they were all feeling very frustrated.
On one hand, they worried about killing Naruto, and on the other hand, they worried about completely releasing the Nine-Tails, which would mean everyone was finished.
The fourth tail had already condensed, and the aura around Naruto changed again. At the same time, his skin became bloody and mangled from being unable to withstand the Nine-Tailed Fox Chakra.
"Naruto…"
Sasuke wanted to rush over, but Yang Tao held his shoulder.
"If you go, it'll be for nothing."
"Let me do it. We'll knock Naruto out and then take him away from Konoha. Oh, by the way, did you sell the house?"
Sasuke nodded, "Yes, I sold it to the Hyuga, Inuzuka, Nara, and Akimichi clans."
The only ones in Konoha capable of taking over the Uchiha Clan's properties were the major clans.
Yang Tao smiled at this, "That's good then. You go back first. I'll bring Naruto back soon."
With that, Yang Tao flew towards Naruto with such speed that only the Jonin vaguely saw his figure; the other Chunin didn't notice him at all.
When he reappeared, he was already standing beside Naruto.
He took a carton of milk from his backpack, aimed it directly at Naruto, who was already lunging at him, and silently thought, 'Use.'
The next moment.
The Nine-Tailed Fox Chakra on Naruto's body vanished instantly, like snow meeting hot sunlight.
Naruto's own consciousness had already fainted, and Yang Tao caught him smoothly.

+120
...
The healing ability continuously activated, and Naruto's skin, burned by the Nine-Tailed Fox Chakra, recovered at a visible rate.
"This is truly amusing. The son of the esteemed Fourth Hokage, Namikaze Minato, was actually abducted by Root's Danzo in Konoha Village. It seems he intended to completely control the Jinchuriki and turn him into a weapon…"
Saying this was purely to disrupt the minds of these people; there was nothing else to it.
"But this is good too. You, Konoha, with your vast enterprise, don't cherish the hero's son. I, however, quite enjoy collecting them."
"Alright, I'm leaving. No need to see me off."
With that, Yang Tao carried Naruto and shot straight into the sky, giving these Konoha ninjas no chance to question him.
He wanted to see what Konoha would become without Naruto and Sasuke.
He also wondered if Uchiha Itachi would return to kill them. If Itachi teamed up with Orochimaru and they all perished with Konoha, that would be the best outcome.
