Chapter Index

    “He’s not Senju Hashirama, not the God of Shinobi; it’s impossible for everyone’s Wood Release to be as strong as Senju Hashirama’s.” Yagura Karatachi rapidly repeated this phrase to himself, using it to bolster his confidence.

    Even with Wood Release, under the pressure of nearly double the numbers, Yagura Karatachi couldn’t possibly retreat immediately upon contact.

    According to his estimation, Muzuki shouldn’t have mastered Wood Release for a particularly long time, otherwise Muzuki would have used Wood Release in the last battle.

    If Muzuki’s strongest Wood Release Ninjutsu was just the Wood Release: World of Trees, then there was still a chance to fight.

    “Everyone, withdraw from the battlefield,” Muzuki commanded the Konoha Ninja Force.

    Although Muzuki didn’t explain anything, Mimurabe Ketsu didn’t ask for the reason but immediately carried out Muzuki’s command and led the troops to retreat.

    At this moment, he had 100% trust in Muzuki; as long as Muzuki didn’t order him to commit suicide, Mimurabe Ketsu would believe there was a reason behind it.

    With the help of large trees, the Konoha Ninja gradually withdrew from the battlefield.

    Yagura Karatachi sensed something was wrong and quickly ordered the Mist Ninja to start retreating, getting away from Muzuki, the Wood Release Ninja.

    Some Mist Ninja had wanted to run for a long time, waiting for Yagura Karatachi’s command.

    “Yeah! It’s a Wood Release master, retreat quickly!”

    Although the Mist Ninja wanted to run, Muzuki dared to openly let his subordinates retreat, naturally having means to keep them.

    Under the effect of Wood Release Chakra, new trees continuously grew rapidly, attacking the Mist Ninja with branches, blocking their retreat.

    Only stronger Ninja like Yagura Karatachi and Shingetsu Hozuki broke through the layers of obstruction and rushed out.

    “Wood Release: Art: Advent of a World of Flowering Trees!”

    After the Konoha Ninja completed their withdrawal, Muzuki once again gathered a massive amount of Chakra and unleashed the enhanced version of Wood Release: World of Trees, the Art: Advent of a World of Flowering Trees.

    Rumble!!!

    Thick, enormous vines drilled out of the ground and danced rapidly, as if a large number of green prehistoric pythons had suddenly emerged from the earth.

    Muzuki merely controlled the giant vines with a gentle swing, and all attacks aimed at Muzuki were completely blocked.

    Boom!!

    Several giant vines slammed down fiercely, and for a moment, a blood mist permeated the air, as dozens of hit Mist Ninja instantly turned into shapeless flesh.

    “This is simply a monster, how can we possibly win…” The Mist Ninja who weren’t hit glanced at the puddle of their companions next to them, then looked at the incredibly thick vines, and their hearts instantly turned cold.

    Could they win against a Wood Release Ninja?

    They would surely die!

    “I’ll fight you to the death!”

    Some Mist Ninja were spurred into a frenzy by this scene, no longer thinking of retreating, and charged towards Muzuki with their weapons drawn.

    But at this moment, huge flower buds suddenly grew on the vines and bloomed rapidly.

    A grayish-yellow pollen instantly enveloped the entire battlefield, and the Hidden Mist who rushed to the forefront absorbed the most pollen first, collapsing first.

    Bang, bang, bang!!

    Before the Ninja of the Hidden Mist force could react, the rest of the Hidden Mist also fell into a coma due to inhaling the pollen, collapsing to the ground.

    In just an instant, over a thousand Mist Ninja fell on the battlefield, with only a very small number of elites successfully breaking through and not being knocked out.

    “Hayate Mugetsu!” Yagura Karatachi, who hadn’t inhaled the pollen, saw this scene, his vision went black, and he nearly collapsed to the ground.

    This was a force of over a thousand Ninja, and they fell to just one Wood Release Ninjutsu.

    Could it be that Konoha was about to have a second God of Shinobi?

    “No wonder he made us retreat first, as expected of Wood Release.” Mimurabe Ketsu looked at the fallen Hidden Mist force on the battlefield and sighed in his heart.

    Such a wide-ranging attack indeed made it easy to accidentally injure allies.

    Many Konoha Ninja stared at the battlefield in shock, as if to engrave this historic moment into their minds.

    The second Wood Release Ninja after Senju Hashirama had appeared, and with a single move, he defeated a thousand-man Ninja force.

    “Quick, don’t let those few Hidden Mist escape,” Kakashi noticed Yagura Karatachi trying to flee.

    Yagura Karatachi was the core figure of this force; if Yagura Karatachi escaped, this victory would lose some of its luster.

    “Eight Gates, Gate of Limit, Open!”

    Since the upcoming opponents were powerful Hidden Mist Jonin, Might Guy directly opened the fifth of the Eight Gates and entered a highly concentrated state of breathing.

    Kakashi also silently entered Lightning Release Chakra Mode, rushing rapidly towards Yagura Karatachi.

    Obito and Shisui also sprinted at full speed, and although Rin Nohara followed immediately, she was a bit slower due to her speed.

    Suddenly, the entire Konoha Ninja Force sprang into action.

    “All of you stay here and watch these Hidden Mist; most of them are just unconscious, not dead,” Muzuki turned and said to the Konoha Ninja Force.

    Now, only Yagura Karatachi and a few strong Jonin remained from the Hidden Mist, so there was no need for the entire force to pursue.

    Muzuki then switched to Thunder Breathing and instantly entered Lightning Release Chakra Mode.

    Whoosh!

    Muzuki transformed into a yellow lightning bolt and vanished from everyone’s sight.

    “Confiscate their weapons, then tie them up!” Mimurabe Ketsu commanded.

    With so many prisoners, they could have a good talk about terms with the Hidden Mist.

    “Almost completely annihilated, how am I going to explain this to the Third Mizukage upon my return…” Yagura Karatachi’s mood was extremely heavy as he sped using Body Flicker Technique.

    It wasn’t that he was worried about being blamed, but rather that he felt he had let down the Third Mizukage’s trust.

    However, Yagura Karatachi truly felt that this wasn’t his fault; who could have known that Hayate Mugetsu was also a powerful Wood Release Ninja?

    Even if other strong individuals from Hidden Mist Village came, the outcome would be the same.

    “Hmm? He actually caught up!” Yagura Karatachi noticed the approaching yellow light and quickly formed hand signs to gather Chakra.

    “Water Release: Water Gun Technique!”

    A giant water ball was spit out by Yagura Karatachi, flying towards Muzuki who was rushing towards him.

    “Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet Technique!”

    “Water Release: Water Gun Technique!”

    Shingetsu Hozuki and his subordinates, such as Tosha Kawasawa, also made their moves.

    “Earth Release: Earth Flow Wall!”

    Muzuki quickly formed hand signs, creating a thick earth wall in front of him, blocking the incoming Water Release attacks.

    Sizzle, sizzle!!

    Muzuki then took out Enma from his system space and once again transformed into a yellow light.

    Slash!

    A sharp yellow blade light flashed, and instantly, a Hidden Mist Jonin was cut in half.

    Shingetsu Hozuki swallowed hard at the sight, involuntarily taking a few steps back.

    He knew that Hozuki Mangetsu had died at Muzuki’s hands, and their Hozuki Clan’s secret techniques were most vulnerable to Lightning Release masters like Muzuki.

    “What are you afraid of? I’m still here!” Yagura Karatachi couldn’t help but scold his subordinate for showing such a posture.

    Although he might not be able to defeat Muzuki, Yagura Karatachi believed that a Ninja should not lose face; even if he were to die, it should be fighting to the death, not being instantly killed with a timid posture.

    Shingetsu Hozuki stood still, not speaking, thinking to himself that Yagura Karatachi, being one of the top powerhouses in Hidden Mist, naturally wasn’t afraid, but they didn’t have that kind of strength.

    Yagura Karatachi didn’t need to be faster than Muzuki; as long as he was faster than them, there was a high probability of escaping from Muzuki’s hands.

    “What good is it that you’re here? You’ve already lost.” Muzuki didn’t give Yagura Karatachi any face.

    “You!” Yagura Karatachi stared at Muzuki, his face flushed, clutching his iron staff tightly with his right hand.

    “Hayate Mugetsu, don’t think I’m easy to bully!”

    Feeling insulted, Yagura Karatachi charged forward with Body Flicker Technique, swinging his iron staff and smashing it fiercely towards Muzuki.

    Clang!

    Muzuki wielded Enma, easily parrying Yagura Karatachi’s attack.

    Just as the other Hidden Mist were about to seize this opportunity to attack Muzuki, Muzuki’s disciples arrived.

    “Leaf Dragon God!”

    Might Guy unleashed a massive amount of Chakra, his body spinning rapidly, and a green long dragon quickly formed, crashing towards Tosha Kawasawa.

    Facing the aggressive Might Guy, Tosha Kawasawa dared not be careless.

    He retreated while using sharp Water Release attacks against Might Guy.

    “Flash!”

    Kakashi arrived with Might Guy, and like Muzuki, he transformed into a yellow lightning bolt, striking towards Shingetsu Hozuki.

    Although he failed to successfully cut Shingetsu Hozuki, he forced him back, disrupting Shingetsu Hozuki’s offensive rhythm.

    “Perfect timing, now I don’t have to face Hayate Mugetsu.” Shingetsu Hozuki secretly rejoiced, beginning to plot how to gradually distance himself from Kakashi in battle and then seize the opportunity to slip away.

    The Hozuki Clan had significant influence in Hidden Mist, so even if he lost, there wouldn’t be too severe a punishment, which was why Shingetsu Hozuki now only wanted to return to Hidden Mist Village.

    But before Shingetsu Hozuki could be happy for even half a minute, he immediately couldn’t be happy anymore.

    Something had happened to Yagura Karatachi.

    Sizzle, sizzle!

    Muzuki’s aura rapidly surged, and Enma’s blade was enveloped in purple lightning.

    Yagura Karatachi realized something was wrong and tried to use Water Instant Body to dodge, but all his movements were seen through by Muzuki.

    As Muzuki flashed towards Yagura Karatachi, swinging Enma, this incredibly brilliant and dazzling purple light attracted everyone’s attention.

    They could all feel the terrifying power contained within it, that purple lightning seeming to tear and destroy everything.

    Feeling unable to dodge, Yagura Karatachi gritted his teeth, infused a large amount of Chakra to strengthen his body, and then poured a lot of Chakra into his iron staff, fiercely meeting the attack.

    Crack!!

    A crisp and loud sound of lightning rang out, accompanied by Muzuki fully unleashing his purple lightning blade; a dazzling purple slash of light flashed, and Yagura Karatachi’s iron staff was instantly cut off.

    Bang!!

    Boom!!

    Blood splattered, and Yagura Karatachi’s body flew backward like a kite with a broken string.

    Next to Yagura Karatachi, a charred mark from the slash, over twenty meters long, was left on the ground.

    Shingetsu Hozuki’s forehead was drenched in cold sweat as he watched this scene.

    Whether Yagura Karatachi lived or died didn’t matter to him, but if Muzuki could so easily kill Yagura Karatachi, he had no chance of escaping at all.

    Tosha Kawasawa was also sweating profusely at the sight.

    Before the battle, he thought Yagura Karatachi and Muzuki were Ninja of the same level, but he never expected Muzuki to have made such terrifying progress after that war.

    And this scene was also witnessed by Obito and the others who had just arrived.

    Obito was not surprised by this; with Muzuki-sensei there, Yagura Karatachi and the others couldn’t possibly escape.

    “Summoning Technique!”

    Obito immediately used Summoning Technique to summon Charizard.

    The battlefield was too chaotic before, and he was worried Charizard would get hurt, so he hadn’t summoned it.

    “Roar!”

    Charizard instinctively wanted to breathe fire at Obito, but after seeing the situation on the field, it quickly changed direction and spewed fierce flames at Shingetsu Hozuki, who was fighting Kakashi.

    Shisui also used Summoning Technique to summon Zoroark.

    Zoroark, seeing the scene, immediately used Genjutsu.

    From Shingetsu Hozuki’s perspective, Zoroark was like a fire demon, spewing extremely terrifying blue flames that ignited everything around it.

    Shingetsu Hozuki tried to dodge these incoming attacks, but in doing so, he exposed an opening.

    “Yang Seal Release!”

    Kakashi immediately released his Yang Seal, pushing his Lightning Release Chakra Mode to its limit.

    Purple lightning appeared again, but this time it was Kakashi.

    Slash!

    A long, narrow purple slash flew out, striking Shingetsu Hozuki’s body.

    Shingetsu Hozuki desperately tried to use Hydrification Technique to reduce the damage, but it was useless against the powerful No Thought Strike; he could only fall to the ground with a look of unwillingness.

    He hadn’t expected to die not by Muzuki’s hand, but by the hands of a few ungrown brats.

    “Milotic, go help Guy.”

    Rin Nohara, who arrived last, also immediately summoned Milotic, telling her to go help Might Guy.

    Milotic’s strength was much greater than her own.

    “Rock Breathing Chakra Mode, Open!”

    Seeing his teammates come to help, Might Guy no longer held back, letting out a low roar, concentrating his breathing to the extreme, and his aura rapidly surged, reaching a level that even Tosha Kawasawa found somewhat astonishing.

    ‘Water Cannon!’

    Milotic opened her mouth, a large amount of water-attribute Chakra condensed in her throat, and she spewed out a thick water column with extremely strong impact.

    Although Tosha Kawasawa had Water Release that could counteract the Water Cannon, with Might Guy nearby, it was difficult to use, and he was continuously forced back.

    “Golden Skyline!”

    Might Guy placed his right hand behind his waist, extended his index and middle fingers, then burst with Chakra and charged rapidly towards Tosha Kawasawa.

    While charging, Might Guy swung his left hand, and with a drawing-the-sword motion, brought his right hand forward to slash, drawing a golden thin line.

    Boom!

    A golden light flashed, and an incredibly powerful force struck Tosha Kawasawa’s body, causing his pupils to dilate and his face to contort.

    Bang, bang, bang!!

    The immense force caused Tosha Kawasawa to smash through seven or eight large trees without stopping, only barely coming to a halt after smashing through fifteen large trees.

    At this point, the Mist Ninja force was completely defeated; some died, some were injured, and not a single Mist Ninja escaped.

    Muzuki nodded, looking at his disciples’ performance.

    Aside from Might Guy, who could burst with power when injured, his other disciples, working together, could also kill powerful Jonin like Shingetsu Hozuki.

    If his disciples were to experience Obito’s crisis in the original story, they wouldn’t need anyone’s help; they could solve the problem on their own.

    After all, they only encountered some Iwagakure squads and didn’t meet any overly strong Ninja.

    Of course, the original story is the original story, and reality is reality; as Obito grows stronger, Uchiha Madara’s methods will also change accordingly.
