Secret Technique: The Art of Violent Poison

Chapter 55 Secret Technique: The Art of Violent Poison

"This is terrifying. If Root has mastered the Wood Release transplantation experiment, what will become of the Uchiha clan?"

Seeing the powerful strength of the Wood Release experimental subject, Fugaku Uchiha couldn't help but feel worried.

The higher-ups in Konoha have always been hostile towards the Uchiha clan, and if the Wood Release transplant experiment were to take place, their strength would increase dramatically.

Fugaku Uchiha was genuinely afraid that they might do something terribly wrong if they weren't careful.

"So powerful, so cruel, is this Wood Release?"

Uchiha Shisui frowned as he watched the Wood Release experimental subjects wreak havoc.

He had a vague feeling that something was wrong; it didn't quite align with his belief in the power to quell wars and bring peace.

"Wood Release, it's said that only the Mangekyou Sharingan of the Uchiha clan can rival it."

After saying that, the two fell silent, watching the Wood Release experimental subject wantonly plunder lives on the battlefield.

The Wood Release test subjects were powerful and experienced, and could use Wood Release techniques. However, their numbers were far outnumbered by the Mist Ninja, which caused them to expose weaknesses and be captured by the Mist Ninja.

"The heart isn't a weakness, but I refuse to believe you can survive being beheaded!"

The Mist Ninja sacrificed the lives of two Mist Ninja Chunin in exchange for a chance to kill in one blow.

The beheaded ninja held a short sword that emitted a chilling light, and used all his strength to decapitate the victim in one strike.

The decapitated Wood Release test subject held on for a while, but eventually collapsed, motionless, and entered the dream of death.

"What? Wood Release is nothing special!"

The beheaded Mist Ninja held his short sword to his shoulder, roared at the surrounding Mist Ninja, showing off his victory and trying to dispel the fear in the hearts of the other Mist Ninja.

Seeing this scene certainly boosted the morale of the Mist Ninja.

"The monsters are finally dead! Everyone, kill them all! Forget Wood Release, Mist Ninja is the strongest!"

The next moment.

"Tree root explosion burial".

A giant tree instantly swallowed the corpse of the Wood Release experimental subject along with the nearby Mist Ninja, including the decapitated Mist Ninja.

There's a reason why the Wood Release experimental subject is called a Wood Release weapon; the exploding tree roots upon death will be a final gift to the enemy.

"monster……"

The morale of the Mist Ninja plummeted, and they were quite weak when facing the Wood Release experimental subjects.

However, with the help of their numbers, the Mist Ninja suffered heavy casualties but managed to eliminate all the Wood Release experimental subjects.

"Finally dead."

The Mist Ninja looked around and saw that there were only fifty ninjas left, a far cry from the original two hundred or so.

A wave of sadness welled up within me.

"The Wood Release test subjects performed well, with a casualty ratio of approximately one to fifteen. If there were more of them, and the Wood Release: Thorn Killing Technique could create a larger area of ​​effect, and the terrain would be more advantageous, the Wood Release test subjects might perform even better."

Aburame Shiatsu observed the performance of the Wood Release test subjects and drew conclusions.

"Fine, let's take care of the rest of the Mist Ninja."

Aburame Shiki formed a mudra with his hands.

"Secret Technique: Insect Devouring Technique"

A large number of dead parasites rushed from beside Aburame Shiki toward the remaining Mist Ninjas, densely packed and blotting out the sky.

"Water Release: Great Waterfall Technique".

"Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet Technique".

The remaining Mist Ninja did not sit idly by and wait to be killed, but instead used Water Release to resist.

They still held onto hope; as long as they held on until the Mist Ninja reinforcements arrived, they might still have a chance to survive.

To their surprise, Shiki Aburame's parasitic insects broke through their water escape technique and pounced on them.

"Ah! Help me!"

"There are too many bugs, everyone be careful!"

"What's going on? I've lost control of my body!"

After being carefully nurtured by Shiichi Aburame, the parasitic insects are no longer as fragile as before. They can not only devour the enemy's chakra, but also the ninjutsu released by the enemy.

While it doesn't grant immunity to various ninjutsu like Truth-Seeking Balls, it still possesses considerable resistance.

Moments later, the remaining Mist Ninjas were dealt with by the Parasitic Worms, lying on the ground covered in them.

Fugaku Uchiha was shocked by what he saw. Had the strength of Konoha's higher-ups reached this level?

"Shiichi, let's retreat! Head to the next base and await Jiraiya-sama's orders. The Kirigakure reinforcements will arrive soon; if we get caught up, it'll be very troublesome."

"Lord Fugaku, you should retreat first. The Kirigakure reinforcements will be here soon, but we are not without a chance of victory. I want to stay and give the Kirigakure reinforcements a surprise."

Fugaku Uchiha did not object, but instead arranged for the Uchiha and Hyuga clansmen to retreat in an orderly manner.

But Fugaku Uchiha stayed behind.

This was Fugaku Uchiha's way of showing affection to Shizuka Aburame, who had already earned Fugaku's respect through his strength and influence.

Fugaku Uchiha also subtly expressed to the Konoha leadership his desire to ease the conflict.

"Lord Fugaku, I want to stay too."

Uchiha Shisui was very happy to see that Uchiha Fugaku was willing to stay and fight alongside Aburame Shiitsu.

If this continues, it will surely change the relationship between the village and the family, so he plans to stay.

"Shisui... alright."

Fugaku Uchiha intended to refuse, as Shisui was a genius of the Uchiha clan, and he did not want anything to happen to him.

But remembering Shisui's mastery of the Body Flicker Technique, she figured that if anything went wrong, Shisui could easily get away with it, so she agreed.

Aburame Shiki estimated the time and activated the interstitial cells within the parasite to accumulate energy.

Then let them burrow into the ground, concealing their chakra, forming a trap, and wait for the arrival of the Mist Ninja reinforcements.

"Damn the Kaguya clan, every single one of them is a madman. Kaguya Castle is the madst of madmen, daring to gather all the ninjas on the front lines to attack Konoha."

Byakugan Blue led the Mist Ninja reinforcements, cursing inwardly.

He was strongly opposed to sending someone from the Kaguya clan to be the commander.

Kaguya's clan is very strong in battle, but it would be too much to ask them to be commanders. They only have fighting and killing on their minds, so how can they be commanded?

Is this what you call commanding, gathering everyone together for a direct attack?

In the end, I'll have to clean up the mess in Kaguya Castle myself.

Qing took a deep breath to calm his excited heart, opened his white eyes, and looked toward the battlefield.

Kaguya Castle's Kirigakure forces have all been wiped out, while the Uchiha clan is retreating.

"Speed ​​up! We can't let them get away!!"

Ao issued an order to accelerate the battle; he had to ensure that the supporting Mist Ninjas achieved good results, otherwise it would not be enough to offset the terrifying consequences brought by Kaguya Castle.

When Ao led the Mist Ninja to the battlefield, they found corpses everywhere. The Uchiha clan had just retreated in a great hurry.

Only three people remained to cover the rear.

Uchiha Fugaku, Uchiha Shisui, and another person I don't recognize.

"Keeping you here isn't such a bad deal."

Fugaku Uchiha was the head of the Uchiha clan, and Shisui was a genius of the Uchiha clan, whose value was high enough to make up for his mistakes.

Aburame Shiki noticed that Ao didn't pay attention to him or react. He knew that soon he would become Ao's nightmare, someone he would never forget.

"Secret Technique: The Art of Violent Poison!"

"What's with this ominous feeling?!" Ao felt a chill run down her spine.

Just as they were about to give the order to be careful, the parasitic worms, which had reached their limit, emerged from the ground and then burst open, forming patches of poisonous mist.

"Damn it, these bugs are so well hidden, even Baiyan wouldn't notice them unless he was paying close attention!"

The battlefield was shrouded in poisonous fog, and the newly arrived Mist Ninja were like innocent little rabbits walking into a trap.

Some of the Mist Ninja accidentally came into contact with the poison and immediately felt their bodies go out of control. They collapsed on the battlefield and lost their lives moments later.

Ao felt a chill in his heart, because he sensed the massive depletion of his chakra. If even he was in such a state, then the situation for others must be even more severe.

"Cover your bodies with chakra, and whatever you do, don't touch the poisonous fog. Genin, escape this area immediately. The rest of you who can hold on, come with me to kill that brat."

With a cold expression, Ao shouted, reminding the other Mist Ninja to immediately cover their bodies with chakra, and then quickly rushed towards the area where Aburame Shiatsu was.

Kaguya Castle's Mist Ninjas were all wiped out, and the Mist Ninjas he brought as reinforcements also suffered heavy casualties. Such consequences made his scalp tingle.

Kaguya Castle is dead, and the dead can't be held accountable, but this living person is in trouble. He won't die because of his Byakugan, but his future days will be difficult.

The moment the poisonous fog filled the air, a quarter of the ninja who came into contact with it died instantly. Although they were all weak genin, the consequences were still terrifying.

"That brat must be nipped in the bud here!"

A group of Kirigakure Jonin and elite Chunin gathered around Ao, and together they rushed towards Aburame Shiatsu's direction.

They enveloped themselves with chakra, but this process consumed a lot of chakra. In addition, the Phosphorous Worms' ability to devour chakra caused their chakra to be depleted very quickly.

Aburame Shiki stood on high ground, radiating an aura of power under the sun.

He looked down at the approaching elite Mist Ninja.

He gave a disdainful look and said:

"retreat!"
