The Power of the Wood Release Experiment
Chapter 54 The Power of the Wood Release Experiment
"Aburame Shiatsu..."
Fugaku Uchiha watched as Shii's team made their entrance, then glanced at the Wood Release experimental subjects behind them.
The Wood Release test subject exuded a chilling aura, remaining fearless and vigilant in the face of danger on the battlefield.
"They're elite! Danzo actually sent Root's elite troops to support the Uchiha."
Fugaku Uchiha was somewhat surprised. Danzo Shimura had a very bad relationship with the Uchiha and had always been at the forefront of suppressing the Uchiha in Konoha.
"Shiichi, did the village send you to provide support? Now is not the time to talk, prepare to retreat! Once the Mist Ninja reinforcements catch up with us, it will be difficult to shake them off."
Fugaku Uchiha couldn't care less about anything else and immediately requested support from Shii's squad to buy time for the main force to retreat.
Every bit of strength on the battlefield is worth fighting for.
"More Konoha ninjas here? No problem, I'll kill you all!"
Kaguya Castle saw that Shiatsu Aburame had come to help, but she showed no fear. She took out a red pill from her pocket and swallowed it.
Kaguya's body erupted with intense chakra, and the blood vessels beneath her pale skin could be faintly seen bulging, accelerating blood flow.
"This is good stuff! It's the spoils I got after slaughtering a small clan. I'll die after using it, but that doesn't matter. Let's keep fighting!"
Fugaku Uchiha's heart sank. "What a mad dog! Is he still going to reveal his Mangekyou Sharingan?"
Aburame Shiki was a disciple of Shimura Danzo. He worried that if his identity was exposed, Danzo would intensify his suppression of the Uchiha clan, making their situation even more difficult.
"Kaguya's clan? Lord Fugaku, you've worked hard. Leave the rest to me; I'll take care of him quickly."
Aburame Shiki glanced at Kaguya Castle, slowly raised his head, and said calmly.
"Deal with me? You arrogant brat! I'll show you the cruelty of war. This isn't a place for child's play! Watch me take care of you!"
Kaguya Castle was furious upon hearing Aburame Shiatsu's words. His strength had increased significantly after taking the secret medicine, and this brat dared to say he would take care of him!
"Be careful, Kaguya Castle is a tough opponent. He's very skilled in hand-to-hand combat, and you should watch out for his suicidal fighting style!"
Fugaku Uchiha reminded Shiitsu Aburame that the Uchiha and Hyuga ninjas were gathering together to prepare for a retreat to the next stronghold near Jiraiya's location.
At the same time, a message was sent requesting Jiraiya's support.
Aburame Shiki looked at Kaguya Shiro, who was rushing towards him at top speed, with indifferent and ruthless eyes. He stretched out a hand and aimed it at Kaguya Shiro.
"Secret Technique: Roaring Burst!"
The ninjas on the battlefield felt a sudden stillness in the world, and their thoughts were momentarily interrupted.
"What a wide range! What powerful ninjutsu!"
Fugaku Uchiha was the first to react. Even if the Mangekyou Sharingan was only maintained at the three-tomoe state, it was still very powerful, giving him a reaction speed that surpassed that of others.
He disregarded all martial ethics, throwing away the rest of his kunai and taking several bewildered Mist Ninja with him.
"What happened?"
"Lord Kaguya-sama!"
The ninja noticed that Kaguya Castle remained in an attacking posture, standing motionless like a statue on her way to Aburame Shiatsu.
His face was contorted with excitement and rage, but he remained motionless, devoid of any life force.
Seeing this, Shiki Aburame nodded silently, satisfied with the effect of the Roaring Technique, and directly collected Kaguya Castle's corpse.
The Roaring Technique was inspired by the abilities of the summoned beasts on the Island of Oblivion, by Shiatsu Aburame.
Essentially, it is a vibration caused by sound, which can propagate and give the target a strong impact.
Moreover, this vibration will damage the target's structure, destroying the enemy as a whole.
For example, Kaguya Castle might be able to withstand Aburame Shiatsu's Roaring Technique head-on, but once the vibrations reached her body, she could no longer defend against them.
Furthermore, Kaguya Castle had taken a secret medicine, causing all her internal organs to operate beyond their limits. Even the slightest damage would trigger a chain reaction, resulting in massive trauma. Not to mention, she had to endure the Roaring Technique.
"The Roaring Technique is quite effective and can be further refined as a powerful offensive secret technique to accumulate experience for Cho'Gath's Void Terror skill, Wild Scream."
Some of the Kirigakure ninja, their eyes turning bloodshot as they stared at the motionless Kaguya Castle, were Kaguya Castle's followers.
Kaguya Castle doesn't care about the lives of her subordinates, but she always leads from the front in every battle, fighting on the front lines, which earns her great prestige among the Kirigakure.
Kirigakure, which now faintly resembles the Village of Blood and Mist, has attracted many followers.
"Impossible!! How could Lady Kaguya be dead!"
"Damn it, avenge Lord Kaguya-jo!"
"Fight the people of Konoha! Brothers, kill them!"
The Mist Ninja went berserk and recklessly dragged the Uchiha ninja along.
"Hold on! Once the reinforcements arrive, the Konoha ninjas are doomed!"
The Mist Ninja knew their reinforcements would return soon, so they became extremely desperate and refused to let the Uchiha ninjas retreat.
"Damn it! Release my people!"
Fugaku Uchiha's eyes turned red, and he immediately released a genjutsu, forcibly interrupting a Kirigakure ninja who was about to die together with another, thus saving a member of his clan.
"Go ahead, don't let Danzo-sensei down."
As soon as he finished speaking, the twelve Wood Release test subjects scattered across the battlefield, heading in different directions.
"Wood Release: Thorn Killing Technique".
They created vine-like wooden canopies to bind the Mist Ninjas and erected multiple wooden pillars around the enemies to prevent their escape and disrupt their formation.
To prevent the Mist Ninja from supporting each other, the Mist Ninja were made into isolated individuals.
The Wood Release experimental subjects created favorable terrain. If they can't use the Advent of a World of Trees technique, can't they at least use the Thorn Killing Technique?
"This is... Wood Release?!"
Fugaku Uchiha stared in shock at the Wood Release test subjects.
"Have the twelve... Wood Release transplant experiments from the Root been successful?"
Not only Fugaku Uchiha, but also ordinary Uchiha clansmen and Kirigakure ninja were shocked.
"Wood Release... How could it possibly be Wood Release?!"
However, the Wood Release test subject will not stop attacking just because the Mist Ninja are attacking.
"Wood Release: Wood Splintering Technique!"
The Wood Release test subject grew long wooden spikes from its arms, which pierced into the body of a Mist Ninja. Through hand seals, the spikes continued to branch and grow, piercing the enemy's body from within the Mist Ninja, a truly cruel act.
"Damn it! Everyone be careful! Let's take care of these ninjas who can use Wood Release first!!"
The Mist Ninja began to assemble, and the Uchiha and Hyuga took the opportunity to retreat, escaping the Mist Ninja's entanglement.
Multiple Mist Ninjas gathered together to besiege a Wood Release experimental subject, but were overpowered by the powerful Wood Release and turned the tables, hunting them down instead.
During the Wood Release experiment using the Splinter Technique, a Mist Ninja used the Body Flicker Technique to suddenly appear next to the Wood Release test subject.
Then he plunged the kunai deep into the test subject's heart.
"Damn monster, die!"
The Mist Ninja was so excited about killing the Wood Release test subject that his face turned red. He raised his head, wanting to see the fear in the Wood Release test subject.
But what Ying Ri saw was the cold, mocking gaze of the Wood Release test subject, with long wooden spikes piercing into the body of the Mist Ninja.
"Monster, monster!"
The mist ninja was pale and murmured.
The next moment, the wooden spikes inside the Mist Ninja's body branched out and pierced through him from the inside, turning him into a bloody mess.
