I'm retrieving corpses in Konoha.

At the same time, he said to the people around him:

"Naoto, Hayato, you two take the wounded away later. Yugao and I will go help Kakashi-senpai!"

Naoto and Hayato expressed their understanding.

Uzuki Yugao nodded and drew her katana as she ran.

Today, their team is one of the groups responsible for patrolling the perimeter.

I happened to be passing by and sensed the battle taking place here.

Therefore, they immediately decided to come and check, and that's when they saw this scene.

Kakashi became somewhat anxious when he saw that the others wouldn't listen to him.

Even the two special Jonin in his team were no match for these wood clones. If Gekko Hayate's Chunin-Genin squad came, they would only be throwing their lives away.

However, at this distance, it's no longer possible to stop it.

"Senju Kamima" can kill them with Wood Release ninjutsu with just a turn of his head.

"We have to stop him!" Kakashi stared intently at the clone closest to the Moonlight Hayate team.

As soon as this clone of Senju Kamui makes a move, Kakashi will do everything in his power to protect them, even if it means exhausting his chakra.

However, Kakashi discovered that it seemed "Senju Kamima" had no intention of making a move.

Even the wooden stick that the "original body" was about to use to attack him was taken back.

"What's going on?" Kakashi asked, puzzled.

Uchiha Natsumi's first wood clone turned to look at Uzuki Yugao and said in a deep voice:

"A few more have arrived. Are you all qualified to be my prey?"

Uzuki Yugao frowned slightly and snorted coldly, "What prey? Why are you talking so strangely?"

After saying that, Uzuki Yugao didn't intend to ask who Uchiha Natsu's shadow clone was.

With a flash, he arrived in front of the first shadow clone, and his katana slashed out from a very tricky angle!

"Shh!"

Uchiha Natsu's wood clone was split in two, but then it turned into two pieces of wood.

Sheathed her sword and turned around, Uzuki Yugao immediately looked to her right.

There, the clone of Uchiha Natsuki, which had been cleaved earlier, emerged from the large tree.

Uzuki Yugao glanced behind her and saw that Gekko Hayate had already reached Kakashi's side, confronting the other two "weirdos".

She then turned her head, her face frosty.

Without saying a word, he used the Body Flicker Technique to appear in front of Uchiha Natsuki's clone once again.

The sharp samurai sword was slashed out at an extremely fast speed.

Even the air seemed to groan, the sound of it being torn apart was piercing.

Uchiha Natsu's wood clone retreated again, simultaneously using the Great Forest Technique, with countless wooden branches blocking in front of him.

However, the samurai sword in Uzuki Yugao's hand cleaved the wooden strips in two.

"Crack!"

Several wooden strips snapped instantly.

Uchiha Natsumi's eyes lit up. The sword technique that Uzuki Yugao had just used was the one he had taught her.

Using the chakra within the body, along with a clever and tricky angle, the samurai sword can cut through steel.

Unexpectedly, in just over a month, Uzuki Yugao mastered it.

'Alright, let's test this girl and see how much she's improved.'

Uchiha Natsu thought to himself, and the Wood Clone's gaze also became slightly more serious.

After cutting the wooden strip, Uzuki Yugao was somewhat surprised.

In her perception, these wooden strips were almost as hard as steel.

She knew that this ninjutsu was called Wood Release, and that it was rumored that this bloodline limit had long since disappeared.

She had heard many of the legends about Hashirama.

However, she did not believe that Wood Release truly no longer existed.

Because, as the teacher once said.

Hearing is unreliable, and seeing is not necessarily believing; the world is vast and full of wonders.

Chapter 52 Teacher VS Disciple

Uchiha Natsu's wood clone used the Body Flicker Technique to instantly retreat, maintaining a distance from Uzuki Yugao.

Then he said, "Little girl, your swordsmanship is quite good. You've successfully piqued my interest."

"However, this level is not enough to make you my prey. Show me your true skills."

Upon hearing this, Uzuki Yugao's expression turned serious.

The unusually hard wooden strip she had just encountered gave her a direct understanding of the power of Wood Release.

Judging from the appearance, this strange man still has a lot of strength left.

This put some pressure on Uzuki Yugao.

But she still had no intention of speaking, because her teacher had once told her that too much talk leads to mistakes.

Saying too much might expose your own weaknesses.

On the battlefield, especially when facing a powerful enemy, one must be extremely cautious.

Seeing that Uchiha Natsumi's wood clone still didn't speak, he pretended to be displeased and gave a cold snort.

"Since you're so proud, let me see what you have to be proud of."

After saying that, Uchiha Natsu's wood clone formed hand seals and then raised his right hand.

"The Art of the Great Forest!"

"puff!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Uchiha Natsuki's clone vanished instantly, leaving only a piece of wood behind.

Immediately afterwards, he suddenly appeared behind Uzuki Yugao, and the wooden stick in his hand shot out!

The Substitution Technique and the Great Forest Technique are used simultaneously.

"Shh!"

The wooden strip moved incredibly fast, but instead of aiming for a vital spot, it coiled around Uzuki Yugao.

Uzuki Yugao seemed not to have reacted yet, as she was tightly entangled by the wooden strips.

But then, the Uzuki Yugao within the wooden strip turned into a wisp of smoke.

Uchiha Natsu's wood clone turned around and saw four identical Uzuki Yugao suddenly appear behind him.

"Shadow clones, huh? It seems that what I was fighting before was always a shadow clone, not the real me."

Looking at this familiar tactic, Uchiha Natsu, who was lying on the ground not far away, couldn't help but find it somewhat amusing.

Looking at the four Uzuki Yugao in front of him, Uchiha Natsumi guessed that even among these four, perhaps none of them were the original.

"Is the real body underground?" Uchiha Natsu's wood clone glanced around.

After consuming the Sage Pill, Uzuki Yugao already possesses five known chakra nature transformations.

As for Yin and Yang, there are no testing methods for them yet, so they are usually ignored.

For the time being, Uzuki Yugao possesses all-attribute nature transformation and can learn all basic ninjutsu.

Before heading to Kumogakure, Uchiha Natsumi rested halfway and taught Uzuki Yugao the decapitation technique he had been holding in his heart.

However, at the time it was only described verbally, and Uzuki Yugao was not actually allowed to do it.

Given Uzuki Yugao's current talent, it's not impossible for her to master this technique.

As Uchiha Natsumi was thinking this, the four Uzuki Yugao moved at the same time.

With a flash, four Uzuki Yugao surrounded Uchiha Natsumi's wood clone, their katana swords trembling.

No matter which way he looks, he will fall into this illusion.

However, Uchiha Natsu's wood clone simply closed its eyes.

Meanwhile, the original body, which had just burrowed underground, once again used Wood Release to merge into a large tree.

Through the tree trunk, one can see the battlefield between Uzuki Yugao and her wooden clone.

This allows one to observe the battlefield without being detected.

Of the remaining three wood clones, one is fighting Kakashi and Hayate Gekko alone.

There's another one; the ANBU Jonin has already been knocked unconscious.

The two wooden clones, who were at leisure, also merged into the tree trunk and looked towards Uzuki Yugao.

The wooden clone in front of Uzuki Yugao can now have three perspectives even with its eyes closed.

Seeing that this Wood Release freak had actually closed his eyes, Uzuki Yugao couldn't help but feel a little puzzled.

"Could it be that this strange man is confident he can withstand my attacks simply by relying on his hearing?"

Just as Uzuki Yugao thought of this, Uchiha Natsu's wood clone had already formed hand seals.

"Wood Release Technique!"

In an instant, Uchiha Natsu's wood clone turned into wood and burrowed directly into the ground.

Immediately afterwards, tree roots broke through the soil at the feet of each of Uzuki Yugao, wrapping around her ankles.

"Puff puff!"

Three of them, including Uzuki Yugao, were unable to dodge and were directly entangled by the tree roots, turning into smoke.
