Chapter 109 The Cloud Village Camp Covered by Wood Release

When the strength of a Konoha ninja is insufficient to deter a Kumogakure ninja, even if he is sent by the Third Hokage and carries official Hokage documents, he will not be able to meet the Fourth Raikage and will even be ridiculed by the Kumogakure ninja.

When Uchiha Shisui met him, he unleashed an irresistible Fire Release ninjutsu. Without him saying a word or checking any documents, the Cloud Village ninjas automatically went to fetch the Raikage.

This is the role that powerful and courageous ninjas can play in diplomatic situations.

What Xia Zuo said on the road has now been proven true. Uchiha Shisui's admiration for Xia Zuo has grown to the point of superstition.

When the Fourth Raikage saw that Uchiha Shisui hadn't killed anyone, the lightning in his eyes dimmed slightly, and then his attention was completely focused on Xia Zuo.

Uchiha Shisui was extremely famous, and the ninjutsu he used fully demonstrated his strength.

However, upon seeing the Fourth Raikage, Shisui actually took a half-step back, placing Xia Zuo in the dominant center position.

This undoubtedly conveys the message that Xia Zuo is the superior between the two.

Uchiha Shisui's retreat was remarkably natural, and his respectful attitude was evident, without the slightest hint of reluctance.

The Fourth Raikage narrowed his eyes, deliberately shifting his gaze away from Xia Zuo, and asked Shisui, "Shisui of the Body Flicker Technique, what brings you here?"

Uchiha Shisui did not answer, but instead took another step back, handing over the right to speak to Xia Zuo.

Xia Zuo smiled slightly: "On the land of the Land of Fire, it should be the ninjas of Konoha who ask this question."

He instantly wiped the smile off his face and demanded seriously, "Fourth Raikage, what is your intention in lingering here with the Cloud Village ninja?"

The Fourth Raikage feigned anger: "Who are you to dare question me? Send your Third Hokage here, or you'll never get an answer from me."

Xia Zuo said to himself, "The Fourth Raikage refused to answer my question. It seems that Shisui's strength was not strong enough."

"Hehe, it doesn't matter. I've already completed the necessary formalities. Now let's get down to business."

Let's have a truly heart-to-heart exchange.

Xia Zuo clapped his hands together, and Wood Release chakra surged out like a volcanic eruption, transforming into the secret technique that once suppressed the ninja world.

Just as the Wood Release technique was about to be unleashed, Xia Zuo used the Core Formation technique from the Nine Swords of Dugu to control the Wood Release technique that was about to erupt, and continued to inject more chakra.

He was about to unleash a massive Wood Release technique, enveloping the entire camp, which was even larger than the Uchiha clan's territory. While gathering his power, Mensha asked the Cloud Village ninja, "Are you ready?"

"The Fourth Raikage, Killer Bee (one of the eight Jinchuriki), Shinobu on the platform—who are you?"

"Tsk, whatever, I'll tell you my name after I survive."

The Fourth Raikage felt a chill run down his spine, sensing an unprecedented and deadly crisis. Sparks of electricity crackled around him as he roared, "Cloud Village ninja! Attack!"

Killer Bee reacted just as quickly, his body radiating red Tailed Beast Chakra as he donned the Tailed Beast Cloak, while simultaneously extending his right hand to clasp the Fourth Raikage's left.

The electric arcs transferred from the Fourth Raikage to Killer Bee, converting the red Tailed Beast chakra into electric arcs, before returning to A.

This was repeated three times, and the two of them instantly transformed into a giant ball of lightning.

Tsuchitai and the young white-haired ninja dared not get involved in the fight between the two, and quickly retreated, organizing other Cloud Village ninjas to provide cover.

Kumogakure truly lives up to its reputation as a powerful ninja village capable of suppressing Konoha. More than half of Kumogakure's ninjas are veterans who have experienced two wars, and their ninja skills are impeccable.

In the brief moments after Xia Zuo unleashed his powerful chakra, the commanding ninjas and ninja squad leaders at all levels were ready for battle.

Upon hearing the Fourth Raikage's order, under Tsuchikage's organization, skilled ninjas immediately formed hand seals and activated Lightning Release ninjutsu.

[Lightning Release: Gratitude Wave]

[Lightning Escape - Earth Walk]

[Thunder Escape·Thunderfall]

[Lightning Release: False Darkness]

[Lightning Release: Lightning Net]

A dense barrage of lightning bolts, arcs of electricity, thunderballs, and lightning arrows hurtled towards Xia Zuo and Uchiha Shisui.

Shisui couldn't help but want to activate Susanoo to protect Natsu, but Natsu shook his head to stop him. He then released the control of the Wood Release secret technique that had accumulated chakra to its limit, allowing it to burst out with all its might.

[Wood Release: Advent of the Tree World]

To the disbelief of the Cloud Village ninjas, the earth instantly transformed into a surging, undulating sea, violently shaking and trembling.

Spiderweb-like cracks appeared on the ground, and the cracks spread and expanded wildly, soon turning into bottomless ravines.

Countless new green shoots sprouted wildly from the gullies, growing at a speed that was impossible to see with the naked eye.

In just half a second, the branches and trunks blocked both sides' vision, and all sorts of lightning-style ninjutsu were blocked.

Even the lightning bolts that fell from the sky were absorbed and dissipated by the tall tree canopy, without even striking a single leaf, merely creating a momentary, dazzling arc of electricity among the branches and leaves.

A few seconds later, the newly sprouted branches swelled into a towering tree that would take ten people to encircle, its massive trunk twisting and trembling like a giant python as it grew toward the higher sky.

The tree canopy and roots extend out in a vast expanse of roots and branches, spreading out in all directions like a barrier.

In the blink of an eye, the once cleared plain was transformed into a primeval forest. The Wood Release technique truly lived up to its reputation as the strongest crowd control ninjutsu, completely destroying the Cloud Village ninja camp with just one move.

The terrifying branches and roots, like flexible arms, swept up Cloud Village ninjas who couldn't escape or stubbornly resisted, twisting them into bloody remains like a wrung towel, turning them into nutrients to nourish the Cloud Village.

This brutal killing caused the Cloud Village ninjas to let out mournful screams, which echoed through the primeval forest and were amplified and spread by the various mutated leaves and flowers.

The Cloud Village ninja, who had narrowly escaped with his life, listened to the screams of his comrades and looked at the dense, winding branches and roots all around him, bathed in drops of bright red blood.

Despair naturally arose, madly oppressing the minds of the Cloud Village ninja.

If they weren't seasoned veterans who had seen all sorts of bloodshed, they would have collapsed long ago.

However, even the strongest ninja cannot change the difference in strength.

They were caught one by one by tree branches and roots, and then brutally strangled.

Suddenly, the Fourth Raikage and Killer Bee roared, "Lightning Plow Blade!"

The two were enveloped in arcs of electricity, with even larger and thicker arcs between them, charging towards Xia Zuo like two raging bulls.

Whether it was the electric arcs on the two Cloud Village ninjas or the huge electric arc connecting them, they all possessed astonishing cutting power, severing and pulverizing any large tree they encountered.

But they failed to hit Xia Zuo.
