Chapter 137 The Root Attacks! Ultimate Technique: Tears Flowing Down His Face!
As darkness fell completely and lights gradually appeared in the village, Uchiha Ike decided to return home.
Of course, he didn't forget to lock the door before leaving.
Click.
After locking the door, Uchiha Ike turned and went out onto the street.
It's not deserted; there are all kinds of shops here, but it's very quiet. In front of the rows of closed doors, there are piles of fallen leaves that have been there for a long time, making the place seem too remote.
After all, this place used to be the property of the Senju clan, but now the Senju clan has declined, and apart from children who like adventure, naturally not many people would come here.
Twenty minutes later, Uchiha Ike entered the southern part of Konoha.
Although it's still a bit far from the bustling commercial district, there are several good food stalls here, making it a bit more lively than before.
That's how it should be.
However, the streets were deserted today, as quiet as they had been twenty minutes earlier in the Senshou commercial district.
Uchiha Ike raised an eyebrow and suddenly stopped in his tracks.
At that moment, the breeze behind them stopped.
Uchiha Ike glanced into the dark corner, stroking his chin and clicking his tongue in amazement: "A dark and stormy night, perfect for murder..."

call out-!!
A sharp kunai shot out from the shadows and pierced the stone slab at Uchiha Ike's feet.
In the next instant, two figures emerged from the shadows behind the eaves.
Bang, bang.
They all wore strangely patterned masks, like weightless shadows, and landed without making a sound, blocking Uchiha Ike's path one after the other.
"Uchiha Ike, come with us." A detached voice came from behind the mask, faintly discernible as female.
"...Oh?" Uchiha Ike narrowed his eyes and carefully examined the ninja in front of him. The entire street fell silent, and the atmosphere suddenly became extremely heavy.
After a while.
Uchiha Ike exhaled a breath of stale air and raised his index finger in front of him.
The masked ninja in front of him subconsciously tensed his muscles, preparing for a sudden attack from Uchiha Ike.
However, Uchiha Ike's index finger suddenly stopped in front of his nose.
He pointed to the mask that looked like it belonged to a drunkard and shook his head, sighing, "The masks from the Root are really ugly."
"?"
'
The dark green eyes behind the mask froze for a moment, clearly not expecting that Uchiha Ike had been gathering power for so long, only to be examining his mask.
Wait... how did he know I was sent by Root?!
Her eyes sharpened slightly, and she coldly said as she set up her kunai, "Trying to buy time? Give up. There's no one here anymore, and Tsunade has already returned to her clan's territory."
Upon hearing this, Uchiha Ike's smile vanished, replaced by a deep, almost sullen expression.
However, he didn't have any objection to Root's cautious attitude in carrying out the mission, but he was very dissatisfied with how Root addressed Tsunade.
He said in a deep voice, "Who is your leader? How did you all learn to speak like that? Call her Lady Tsunade!"
"6
.?
""
The ninja in front of Uchiha Ike had his eyes slightly widened beneath his mask.
Is this the problem?
The problem is, you're all alone now!
"Witch, have you forgotten the organization's rules after so long since you haven't carried out a mission? Don't waste time, take him back quickly."
A flat, emotionless voice rang out, indifferently rebuking the ninja in front of Uchiha Ike.
"snort!"
The ninja, known as the priestess, snorted but did not refute.
She lowered her center of gravity, arched her body like a cat, and looked sharp, as if she was about to tear Uchiha Ike to shreds at any moment.
But at this moment, Uchiha Ike, who had been observing the two from the sidelines, suddenly spoke up again.
"Wait a moment!"
"?" The shrine maiden's movements stiffened slightly, and she looked at Uchiha Ike with some displeasure. "What exactly are you trying to say?"
Uchiha Ike raised a finger to his lips: "Can you just kill me?"
"5
""
Although her expression beneath the mask cannot be seen, it is clear from her fiery eyes that this ninja known as the priestess is angry.
Actually, she was already in a particularly bad mood.
Even though she had already partially broken away from the root and her life was starting to get back on track, Danzo suddenly sent someone to her door, asking her to come back and carry out a mission.
She naturally wanted to refuse, but Danzo represented the dark side of Konoha, and she was powerless to oppose him.
"Yakushi Nonou, you'd better think this through before refusing Root's order."
In addition, Danzo also promised to provide living expenses for the orphanage...
Left with no other choice, Yakushi Nonou had to carry out the mission of capturing Uchiha Ike.
But after she arrived, she discovered that Uchiha Ike was so young.
This made her, who was the director of the orphanage and had raised many children to grow up healthily, always feel an inexplicable closeness to him and subconsciously want to listen to what he had to say.
As a result... every word this guy said was so irritating.
So now, all sympathy she felt for Uchiha Ike had vanished; only a pure impulse to kill him remained.
[Irritability detected from Pharmacist Nonou!]
[Gain 15 points and increase damage by 3%!]
"Looking for death? Fine, I'll grant your wish!"
Seeing Yakushi Nonou angrily charging towards him, Uchiha Ike said with concern, "Don't be angry, staying up late when you're angry is bad for your health."
Just as the sharp kunai was about to pierce his abdomen, Uchiha Ike shook his head, put his hands in his pockets, and turned to the side, calmly dodging the attack.
But the priestess would not give up so easily. She twisted her supple waist and chased after him like a persistent leech, holding a kunai in each hand and stabbing at his kidneys at the same time.
"Why do you want my kidneys so badly..."
""
Uchiha Ike muttered speechlessly, then suddenly leaned back and lay directly on the ground.
What is this going to do?
Looking at Uchiha Ike, who seemed to have given up the struggle, a sense of confusion flashed through the shrine maiden's mind.
But she didn't pause at all, and increased the arc of her arm swing, thrusting her full force into the other person's waist, as if she were doing something to rid the people of a scourge.
Serves you right for being so foul-mouthed!
But as soon as she turned her gaze, she saw that the other person was already in tears.
What are they doing now?
The thought had barely crossed her mind when tears began to stream down her face.
poisonous!
Yakushi Nonou was startled and covered her mouth and nose, backing away.
She felt a burning sensation in her eyes, and her vision began to blur uncontrollably.
After a few seconds, she finally calmed down and looked over with red eyes.
Uchiha Ike had already stood up leisurely, brushing the dust off his clothes as he explained with a smile, "I've heard that to become a Jonin, you need to have a specialty, either a special combat ability, mastery of chakra nature transformation... or the creation of your own ninjutsu."
"So I'm going to start creating my own ninjutsu."
"Although I made a mistake just now, I forgot to consider gravity when cutting the onion and it splattered all over my face... but I think this ninjutsu is still quite promising."

Uchiha Ike slowly spread his hands, revealing a sliced onion on his palms.
"I would call it the ultimate technique: the art of tears streaming down one's face."
