Surrounded by two Uchiha wielding shuriken, it would be difficult to escape without defensive Ninjutsu.
Subsequently, these two Root Ninja attempted to flee directly, betting that the Uchiha wouldn't dare act against Root Ninja, but they lost their gamble.
Kicked directly from behind to the ground, then locked eyes, subdued by Illusion Technique.
When faced with Anbu, the Security Team might still restrain themselves a bit, but not with Root... Root equates to prospective criminals for the Security Team, and catching them might even earn rewards from the Clan Leader.
Afterwards, the Security Team took the Root ninja along with Yahiko and Konan back to Konoha, heading directly to the Hokage Building.
Finding the Hokage is not that difficult for the Security Team; they quickly arrived at the Hokage Office.
Sarutobi Hiruzen paused slightly upon seeing so many people coming to him, then learned the detailed process from Uchiha Shisui's mouth, along with the identities of Yahiko and Konan, his face immediately darkened; this Danzo was constantly causing him trouble.
He then sent someone to the village to find Jiraiya, and soon called him over.
"Yahiko, Konan? Why have you come to Konoha?"
Upon entering the Hokage Office and seeing Yahiko and Konan, Jiraiya's face lit up with joy.
Having spent three years with these three students, he was quite reluctant when they parted ways, "Yahiko, did you come to see me... but what's happened to you all?"
Upon entering, Jiraiya noticed the situation inside, the Root ninja, and the Security Team; he immediately knew something was wrong.
"Jiraiya, here's what happened: there might have been a misunderstanding during Root's mission... I will have the Anbu investigate this matter and also ask Danzo for clarification."
Upon hearing Sarutobi Hiruzen explain the situation, Jiraiya angrily grabbed the two Root ninja; being 1.9 meters tall with a robust physique, he could indeed lift them into the air with a little force.
"You two, what gives you the right to go after my students, what have they done?"
"Jiraiya, calm down first, take your students for a rest, let me handle this."
Sarutobi Hiruzen stopped Jiraiya's actions, then said to Uchiha Shisui and the Security Team: "Shisui, Taizo, you've worked hard on this matter."
"Then we shall take our leave."
Upon hearing this, Uchiha Shisui and Uchiha Taizo bid farewell and left the Hokage Office; before leaving, Jiraiya also expressed his thanks to them.
Jiraiya then said to Sarutobi Hiruzen: "Old man, I will take the students away first, but you'd better get to the bottom of this, or I won't be letting it go."
After all, he's one of the Sannin, if his students didn't do anything wrong, why were they being chased by Root, and even if his students did do something wrong, couldn't they tell him as their teacher?
"Alright, rest assured, I will inform you thereafter, definitely won't let your students be wronged."
With outsiders present, Sarutobi Hiruzen gave some face to his disciple Jiraiya.
"Lord Third Hokage, I originally came to see you to discuss Akatsuki Organization's view on peace, hoping you could hear it."
Sarutobi Hiruzen was momentarily stunned, but still nodded with a smile: "Oh, then Yahiko-san, go ahead."
"Alright!"
Upon hearing this, Yahiko looked pleased and said; he had initially extinguished this thought, but now seeing the Third Hokage, he felt he would regret it greatly if he didn't express his ideals.
Subsequently, Yahiko spoke of the ideals of Akatsuki Organization, hoping that through peaceful negotiation, the arguing ninja villages and countries could resolve their conflicts at the negotiating table...
After hearing this, Sarutobi Hiruzen kindly smiled and nodded: "Such admirable ideals, Yahiko-san, I see a rare vitality in you, but let me handle this matter first, you go ahead and stroll around Konoha with Jiraiya, I will provide an explanation later..."
Yahiko saw that Sarutobi Hiruzen wanted to handle Root's pursuit first, so he nodded and said: "I understand, thank you Lord Third Hokage for recognizing my vision, then I will leave with Teacher Jiraiya..."
After the three of them left the Hokage Building, Sarutobi Hiruzen then let the Root ninja leave and instructed Danzo to come immediately.
"Where on earth did that idiot Jiraiya find such idiot students again?"
He almost felt worn out listening to those words earlier, it's fortunate that he was interrupted by others before; but what's the point of Danzo sending ninja to chase down such a naive Hidden Rain Ninja?

"Yugito!"
In front of the sushi store, Samui suddenly saw her friend and classmate, so she quickly pursued after her; before the third exam, she had been warned for hanging around the Uchiha Clan Land, thinking she wouldn't see Yugito.
Unexpectedly meeting here before leaving, Samui definitely had to pursue.
"Samui? You're here too.... Oh right, you must be here for the Chunin Exam."
Upon hearing someone call her, Yugito turned around and noticed it was her friend from Ninja Academy, recalling the Chunin Exam before.
After the Chunin Exam, she had not left the Uchiha Clan Land until it ended and she went out to buy some things, unexpectedly bumping into Yugito.
"Yugito, have you truly betrayed the village to become a Konoha Ninja?"
Upon coming closer, Samui saw the Konoha headband around Yugito's forehead, her heart sank instantly, and she whispered: "The village is still trying to find a way to bring you back, Yugito... how could you choose to betray the village..."
"The village decided to let me die because of the Two-tailed beast, it was the village that abandoned me first."
Yugito whispered, having now become a Konoha Ninja and slowly settled there, so she didn't want to discuss it further with Samui.
"Congratulations on becoming a Chunin, Samui, I'm heading back now..."
"Wait, Yugito!"
Samui grabbed Yugito, then dragged her to a corner, continuing to persuade: "Yugito, we already have a way to bring you back, even if it means sacrificing myself, it's possible, you seem not to be monitored now, come with me!"
"Impossible, Samui...."
"Hidden Cloud Village is your home, Yugito!"
"I...."
"Yugito is for your own good, little girl, sadly you just don't understand."
Before Yugito could speak, another person's words interrupted her; Samui turned abruptly, and upon seeing the person standing behind her, she didn't have the heart to resist.
Uchiha Yoichi grinned and said: "I warned Dodai last time, looks like he didn't heed my words, prepare to spend your life in Konoha Prison after this."
Samui didn't say much, instead directly reached into her Ninja Tool Bag, intending to take out a kunai to resist.
"A fiery personality, but lacks sense..."
Having said this, Uchiha Yoichi directly reached out and clamped Samui's neck, a faint electric current appeared from his palm, the paralysis effect of Lightning Release making Samui lose her ability to resist.
Later, Uchiha Yoichi said to Yugito: "You did well by not listening to them, head back."
"Uhm..."
After hearing this, Yugito didn't immediately leave but glanced at Samui, then spoke quietly: "She didn't succeed, and I wasn't planning to return to the Hidden Cloud, Samui had looked after me before, couldn't you... spare her at least this once?"
Having said this, Yugito looked up at Uchiha Yoichi, raised one finger and said: "Just this once..."
Uchiha Yoichi thought for a moment and then said: "... Considering your previous behavior was good, and a Chunin... alright, but you must promise me one condition too."
Upon hearing the condition, Yugito instantly recalled the often-heard sounds late at night, her little face habitually showing disdain, asking: "Wh-what condition?"
What kind of expression is that? I just want the Two-tailed beast's chakra!
Seeing Yugito's expression, Uchiha Yoichi immediately felt displeased, wondering what he was being regarded as, so his idea changed, telling her: "Use your foot in white socks, step on me!!"
Upon hearing this, Yugito was taken aback, her face immediately turned beet red.
"You pervert!"
