The Root Ninja knew there was no way out, nor could they send out any information from here. Resolutely, they dragged their battered body and charged directly towards Hakushi.
Even if it ans death, I’ll take soone down with .
According to the intel, this guy is a dical Ninja. Even if I’m severely injured, I can take him down with .
Seeing the Root Ninja rushing towards Hakushi, Ruri rely glanced indifferently and did not intervene.
Hakushi remained still, allowing the Root Ninja’s hand to touch his body.
I’ve won!
The Root Ninja was montarily delighted, but the next mont, their face was full of astonishnt.
"Guh—"
Sohow, they found themselves inside a giant water sphere, water pouring into their mouth, choking them as they bubbled and struggled painfully within the sphere.
This is the Water Prison Jutsu?
When did it happen?
The Root Ninja couldn’t comprehend what was happening before their eyes.
There were no seals, when did the Water Prison Jutsu activate?
Could it have triggered the mont they touched the opponent’s body?
This guy’s Ninja Techniques... truly insidious!
With the last of their strength, the Root Ninja opened their eyes, staring at Hakushi’s harmless smile, with only one thought in mind.
This was a trap-triggering Water Prison Jutsu that activated upon attack on his body.
Setting such a jutsu on oneself to ambush enemies unfamiliar with his fighting style was indeed a cunning tactic.
Moreover, the intelligence collected by the Root about Hakushi was ridiculously inaccurate.
"How many traps do you have on your body?"
Ruri walked over calmly, sowhat speechless at the scene.
"Oh, there’s a lot to that. After all, I am quite careful with my life. This technique is a combination of the Substitution Jutsu and Water Prison Jutsu, pretty creative, right? Although it’s not very aggressive, for those unfamiliar with , anyone who contacts for the first ti will definitely be controlled by the Water Prison." Hakushi said with a smile.
Though his safety was ensured by the Shadow Dancer in the shadows, if even the Shadow Dancer couldn’t attend to him, the triggering jutsu on his body would prove useful.
Here, Hakushi rely wanted to test the practical results of this move, hence he didn’t have the Shadow Dancer control the Root Ninja.
So far, there seed to be no major issues; the effect and response were quite satisfactory.
Moreover, due to the integration of Natural Energy, it could be maintained even without Hakushi himself until the natural disappearance of Chakra and Natural Energy.
It could be called a highly convenient trap Ninja Technique.
"Ruri, do you want to test an Illusion Technique in Sage Mode on this guy?"
Hakushi inquired.
They had already tested Ninja and Taijutsu, and the power was incomparable to normal states. Now only the Illusion Technique was left untested.
"No need, I’m in a hurry now; I’ll leave him to you."
Ruri looked at the Root Ninja struggling painfully in the Water Prison, as they now held no value for testing the power of Immortal Techniques, and shook their head, leaving with an Instantaneous Body Jutsu.
Seeing Ruri leave decisively, Hakushi didn’t say much, thus sealing the jutsu to release the Water Prison.
The mont the Water Prison was released, the earth’s soil surged, and the Earth General swallowed the already incapacitated Root Ninja, vanishing underground.
A free experintal body, especially of valuable Jonin level, was a rare find, making it quite cherished.
In truth, Hakushi didn’t even know how to properly thank the Root Leader, Danzo.
This token of gratitude, he could only accept with humility.

Land of Demons.
This is a country rich in mystique.
This country differs from others as there is no ruler in the form of a Daimyo. Instead, it is led by an entity known as the ’Witch’.
A completely Witch-led Neutral Country.
In this era of frequent conflicts among nations and villages, the Land of Demons, being secluded, has beco one of the few countries to enjoy peace amid turmoil.
The territory of this country cannot compare to the Five Great Nations, but among smaller countries, it has a relatively large expanse.
The internal political environnt is clear, and people live in peace, making the Land of Demons an undoubtedly stable place within the Ninja Realm.
It can be seen that on the existing capital map of the Land of Demons, a small city was newly built to the north, considered an annex to the capital.
This city is surrounded by large white walls with only two gates as entrances and exits. One gate leads south to the capital, while the other leads north to the plains outside.
On both gates, the words ’Entry Prohibited’ are clearly marked, separating it entirely from residential and comrcial areas.
This signifies that it is an important military stronghold, with no access granted to ordinary residents or outsiders.
There are nurous guards closely watching over both gate locations of the military stronghold.
Initially, it attracted spectators from the public, but after a while, they grew accustod to it.
After all, this military stronghold beside the capital has the explicit approval of their supre and unblemished Witch.
The people of this country are not keen on the rule of Daimyos and nobility. For them, the Witch is the sole ruler and faith, and following her orders unwaveringly is all that matters.
