"Playing tricks!"
The Root special jonin chasing from behind showed no fear at Ye Wu Di's move.
Instead, in front of everyone, he swung his blade, charging with his two subordinates.
"Hahaha, kid, you scared stupid? Actually running toward us!"
"No more chit-chat—this guy's slippery. Take him out quick!"
"What's there to fear? He's trapped in our barrier. Grabbing him's a piece of cake!"
But the moment their confidence peaked…
Whoosh!
In front of everyone, Ye Wu Di flashed past the special jonin.
Then deliberately stepped into their encirclement.
Seeing this, the Root ninjas tensed, expecting some trump card.
But what they got was Ye Wu Di's "Quality Triple Combo"!
"Your wives hot?"
Huh?
What's this kid saying?
"Can I take a peek? Chat with her about adding another kid to your family?"
Huh!
Is he insane?!
"Or do you guys not even have wives? Or maybe you're too useless, so she ran off with someone else?"
Nani?
I'll star you!

"I'll kill you!"
The nearest Root chunin swung his blade at Ye Wu Di's arm.
Seeing this, Ye Wu Di shook his head, disappointed.
He'd talked that much trash, and only one of the seven lost it completely.
The four maintaining the barrier? Zero emotional ripple.
Guess they really think they've got him today.
Fine then—time to crank this show up a billion notches.
"You guys are no fun. One wrong word and it's all kill-kill-kill. No sense of my humor, my kindness."
"Whatever. Since that's how it is…"
With that, Ye Wu Di stood at attention, extending his right hand.
The three Root ninjas' eyes sharpened, ready to dodge.
"I surrender!"
"…"

After all that nonsense, he surrenders?
The special jonin felt speechless but blocked his subordinate.
Clang!
"Captain!"
"He surrendered—no need to keep fighting. Take him away."
The special jonin blocked his team while glaring at Ye Wu Di, wary of a sudden dash.
He hated to admit it, but this kid with Uchiha Shisui's Body Flicker…
His speed was terrifying!
"If we drag this out, the Hyuga guards might circle back."
"U-understood!"
In front of everyone, the raging chunin sheathed his blade.
But as the special jonin pointed his blade at Ye Wu Di's head and the other two chunin moved to bind him…
Ye Wu Di spoke again, flashing an extremely "kind" smile.
"Tell you what—you want me because of that scroll, right?"
"That scroll?"
The Uchiha Shisui Body Flicker training method!
If they got it, their strength would skyrocket!
All seven furrowed their brows, clearly tempted.
Ye Wu Di just shrugged indifferently.
"Yup. So here's the deal—I'll tell you exactly where it is."
"Then you pick who goes to grab it. Doesn't matter who—just bring it back and let us go."
"I've already mastered it. No point keeping it."
"…"
Now all seven were visibly moved.
This deal? They couldn't lose!
Just send one guy for the scroll while the other six keep him pinned. No escape.
But still, none spoke up to accept.
Because at a time like this, whoever they sent would screw over the other six!
Shisui's Body Flicker was too tempting—they couldn't trust the fetcher wouldn't betray them!
"You're all so indecisive. Fine—I'll tell all three of you. Handle it yourselves."
As they wavered, tempted but stuck, Ye Wu Di whispered to the three in front.
"How's that sound?"
"This…"
They still doubted him, mouths shut on agreeing.
But the special jonin's body betrayed him, inching closer with blade in hand.
"Fine. Spill."
"Don't worry—once I decide to tell you, I'll give you the straight-from-the-heart truth."
Straight-from-the-heart?
Something feels off…
Whatever—get Shisui's technique first!
"Listen up—that scroll's right…"
"Right…"
"Right in the Pure Land."
Pure Land?
Nani!
Whoosh!
Before the special jonin could react, Ye Wu Di split into ten, surrounding them.
"Damn—he's running!"
But as all seven tensed…
The ten Ye Wu Dis flashed "kind" smiles, speaking in unison.
"Run? Why would I run?"
"I said I'd give you straight-from-the-heart words, and I keep my promises."
"Like… right now!"
In that instant, Ye Wu Di's real body plunged a ruthless backstab—straight into someone's heart!
Stab!
"…"
