"I can't sense the chakra of the Jonin Oura and the others!"
"There are two... no, they should be clones!" in the woods ahead.
"It seems both of them are clones; we're too late!"
The Sand Village's sensory ninja quickly made an analysis.
"Could it be that...?"
"Impossible. According to previous intelligence, at least twenty people were mobilized. How could Oura Jonin and his men have been taken care of in such a short time?"
"That's the legendary Wood Release technique that pacified a chaotic world!"
Many Sand Ninja couldn't help but speak up.
Ebizo frowned, then gave the order.
Several Sand Ninjas immediately leaped away and began to scout around the forest in front of them.
A moment later, several Sand Ninja returned.
No signs of battle were found.
"But other signs indicate that everyone entered this forest."
"However, there wasn't a forest like this here in the past!"
Ebizo nodded.
The moment I arrived, I knew that the forest in front of me must have been created by Wood Release; it wasn't hard to tell at all.
And it seems that the battlefield is right there.
The atmosphere suddenly became somewhat heavy.
Even if you don't want to admit it, as the previous analysis showed, your former companions are very likely already...
For a moment, many Sand Ninja looked at Ebizo, the one in charge.
Ebizo stared coldly at the forest that seemed poised to bury everything: "Use Wind Release to flatten this forest!"
"clear!"
One by one, the Sand Ninja leaped out, forming three rows, and then simultaneously formed hand seals.
Wind Release: Thousand Faces of Wind!
Wind Release: Net!
Four Sand Ninja in a row simultaneously spewed out intense streams of air, which then transformed into a storm that swept across the land.
Rumble!
Air friction, mixed with sharp wind blades, and a crisscrossing network of wind blades.
Wherever it went, tall trees were cut down into sections.
However, four people were not enough to level the forest in one go.
So the first row immediately crouched down and continued to form hand seals in preparation, while the second row released their ninjutsu without any gap.
Then comes the third row.
Then came the second round.
After two rounds, all that remained of the grove of trees was stumps and large patches of fallen branches and leaves.
Immediately afterwards, Ebizo ordered the Sand Ninja who knew Fire Release to unleash their Fire Release techniques and set the remaining branches and leaves ablaze.
The raging fire illuminated the night sky and also lit up the vision of all the Sand Ninja.
Not a single corpse was seen.
Just as Ebizo was about to give the order to advance, two figures emerged from the ground.
Xingxia Xiu's Wood Clone!
Those corpses that were sucked and turned into dried corpses had long been disposed of by them, buried underground among countless roots using Wood Release techniques.
The reason for this was to conceal their own intelligence as much as possible.
Of course, this is not enough.
……
Upon seeing the two figures suddenly appear, Ebizo's gaze sharpened, and he decisively ordered an attack.
In an instant, more than thirty Sand Ninja rushed out to attack.
Snapped!
The first wooden clone clasped its hands together, forming the Si seal.
The second Wood Clone drew his swords, one long and one short, and charged forward, facing the numerous Sand Ninja without hesitation.
shhhhhh!
Suddenly, a large number of shuriken were thrown out by the Sand Ninja.
The second wooden clone wielded two swords, clashing and deflecting numerous hand swords.
At the same time, vines rose from the ground, deftly flicking the shuriken with explosive tags at the Sand Ninja.
Rumble!
The Sand Ninja decisively detonated the explosives.
After the first wave of long-range weapon throws, the Sand Ninja completed their first wave of ninjutsu.
A storm suddenly broke out!
Rows of vines rose from the ground, blocking the storm.
But when the storm subsided, the three puppets had already closed in, flanking the second wooden clone from the front and both sides.
shhhhhh!
Countless senbon needles and shuriken rained down, all carrying deadly poison.
At this moment, the second wooden clone already had a short sword in its mouth, its left hand had completed a hand seal, and the exposed skin had turned black.
An indestructible body!
By the time the blade arrives, the muscles have already hardened.
Immediately afterwards, with a loud explosion, the second wooden clone's speed increased sharply, facing the dense barrage of ninja tools.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
As a blue light flashed in the night sky, the three puppets seemed to explode at the same time, sending fragments flying everywhere.
"So fast!"
The three puppeteers gasped in surprise and immediately retreated. At the same time, they took out scrolls, opened them, and with a single hand raised, a new puppet appeared as smoke rose.
Meanwhile, other Sand Ninja arrived and intercepted the second Wood Clone.
Ding ding ding!
The ninja swords clashed, sparks flying.
The vines swayed and the wind whipped them around.
The two wood clones worked together, seemingly evenly matched with the thirty-odd sand ninjas who were killing them.
Every now and then, Sand Ninja would let out a piercing scream.
Meanwhile, Ebizo and the others became increasingly alarmed.
Ignoring physical attacks and poisonous attacks, a fierce wind escape.
Furthermore, his swordsmanship was superb; in fact, it could be said that none of the Sand Ninja present could match his swordsmanship.
powerful!
too strong!
Even without the Wood Release technique, Ebizo felt that this guy in front of him could be considered an elite among Jonin.
but.
With such strength, he felt it was impossible for Sand Maru and his men to be wiped out in such a short time, without even leaving behind any corpses.
This guy still has a trump card up his sleeve!
Ebizo was on high alert, constantly adjusting his tactics, pressing forward step by step while preserving some of his strength.
The wood clone also clearly felt that, in addition to the fact that there were more people than the previous batch, these Sand Ninjas were also more coordinated and had a better offensive rhythm.
The commander is extraordinary, stronger than the previous one.
They were clearly losing ground and retreating steadily.
The first wooden clone suddenly lowered its eyes.
Wood Release: Advent of the World of Trees!
New vines are growing rapidly on each tree stump.
"Be careful!"
"what!"
"Damn, there are too many!"
"Use Wind Release!"
The Sand Ninja's offensive instantly fell apart.
The second Wood Clone immediately seized the opportunity to wreak havoc, killing several Sand Ninja in succession.
But soon a large-scale wind escape appeared, sweeping in from the inside out.
The vines dancing among the crowd were being restrained by several Sand Ninja working together.
The tactic's effectiveness was immediately apparent.
The power of the Tree Realm's birth was diminished in a very short time.
Furthermore, after using Wind Release, Ebizo decisively ordered another combination of Wind Release and Fire Release to turn the forest outside the core area of the battlefield into a sea of fire.
The advantage of numbers became undeniable at this moment.
Moreover, the chakra of the first wooden clone was also insufficient.
As the inferno appeared, corpses emerged from the churning tree roots beneath the ground and were set ablaze.
The second wooden clone is still fighting.
The latest novel is first published here!
However, without the cooperation of the number one tree clone, it appears increasingly precarious.
His chakra was about to run out.
The second wooden clone suddenly turned into wood, and then sharp vines grew wildly outwards.
Puff puff!
Three Sand Ninja were unable to dodge in time and were pierced through the body by wooden spikes.
The battle is over.
The numerous Sand Ninja fell silent for a moment.
Both enemies were indeed clones.
These two clones alone caused them to lose a total of seven people.
"Extinguish the flames!"
Ebizo gave the order.
Because the fire had already spread over there.
With the combination of Wind Release and Water Release, the raging flames were gradually extinguished.
"There's a body here!"
Suddenly, a sharp-eyed Sand Ninja spotted the still-burnt corpse.
Ebizo immediately leaped over, and then a large number of charred corpses appeared.
"It seems these bodies were buried underground before."
"This guy is terrifying..."
"Gurgle~~"
As the skeletons were unearthed, Ebizo and the others all wore solemn expressions.
Even though they already knew that Sand Maru and Oura were most likely wiped out.
But when all the corpses were presented before my eyes, the impact was unparalleled.
Taking a deep breath to calm down, Ebizo was pondering a question.
Why did the body, which should have been buried underground, suddenly appear and then be burned?
Accident?
Or was it intentional?
If it was intentional, why?
What are they trying to cover up?
……
In the land of rivers, Hoshinoshita Hide paused for a moment before continuing on his way.
Inuzuka Ryo couldn't help but ask, "Captain, have the Sand Ninja pursuers arrived?"
Xingxia Xiu nodded slightly: "They probably won't catch up anymore."
"However, just in case, let's wait until we enter the Land of Fire before we rest."
Ryo Inuzuka and Ryoma Aburame nodded in unison.
Although I was exhausted, I could still manage.
As dawn broke.
Xingxia Xiu and her group finally crossed the border and appeared in the Land of Fire.
Only then did Inuzuka Ryo and Aburame Ryoma finally breathe a sigh of relief, and their tense minds relaxed.
Beside a river.
After enjoying a fish feast, Hoshino Hide said to Inuzuka Ryo and Aburame Ryoma, "You two should rest first."
The two nodded and, without any hesitation, immediately lay down by the river and fell asleep.
Xingxia Xiu sat in front of the campfire where fish were roasting, silently reviewing and summarizing the battles of this mission.
Meanwhile.
Sunagakure Village.
The Third Kazekage, who hadn't slept all night, also obtained the information that Ebizo had brought back using ninja beasts.
The moment he opened the intelligence report, his pupils constricted and his expression darkened.
Sand Maru Oura and his entire army were wiped out!
"As expected of a Wood Release technique..."
The Third Kazekage's expression was grim.
The loss is so great, it's heartbreaking.
This was far beyond expectations.
The only consolation is that the high-ranking officials of the Ancient Kingdom of Goodness are all dead, and the few remaining ninjas in the country are also wiped out.
The daimyo took over the ancient kingdom of Zen, and Sunagakure Village gained another source of quests.
After reading the intelligence, the Third Kazekage fell into deep thought.
A moment later, he gave the order.
The limited information about the Wood Release user was relayed to every ninja in the village.
A bounty has been issued for the Wood Release Messenger, amounting to 36 million taels!
At last.
If you encounter a Wood Release user during a mission, and you have fewer than six Jonin, you can choose to abandon the mission.
The term "Wood Release User" is a code name given by the Third Kazekage to this user of the Wood Release secret technique, whose true face has never been seen.
……
Kumogakure, Raikage's office.
"Third Raikage, according to information from Konoha, Konoha does not have any ninjas who have mastered Wood Release on the surface."
Tsuchikage said, "Considering that the Wood Release experiments were originally a secret in Konoha, we speculate that the Wood Release user who appeared in the Sky Ninja Village must be hiding in Konoha's Anbu."
Upon hearing this, the Third Raikage immediately said in a deep voice, "Gather information on this guy with all your might."
"Wood Release secret technique... If another Hashirama Senju appears in Konoha, it will be too troublesome!"
Tu Tai nodded in deep agreement.
At that moment, a female ninja knocked on the door and entered: "Third Raikage, from the Exchange Shop, I have information about a user of the Wood Release technique."
"Um?"
The Third Raikage was puzzled.
Tsuchida reached out and took the intelligence report, his gaze sharpening: "Third Raikage, someone has issued a bounty of 36 million ryo, which is for an elite Jonin."
"The Wood Release user must be a user of Konoha's Wood Release secret technique."
"It seems that guy has been exposed to the eyes of other ninja villages."
