Konoha, reported by the Fourth Hokage at the beginning

At this time, the spirit beast had just sensed the death of its master, and before it had time to respond, Li Yao's attack had already arrived.

"puff……"

The roar of thunder and lightning came from Li Yao's right hand, and then a sharp black lightning blade shot out, instantly piercing through the head of the giant eagle, the spiritual beast. The entire body of the eagle was electrified by the flashing black lightning.

"eagle……"

After letting out a high-pitched, mournful cry before dying, the giant eagle, a spiritual beast, closed its eyes, and its body fell into the woods, dying with a "boom".

The Third Raikage, who was still fighting with Li Yaoying's clone in the valley, felt his heart tighten instantly when he heard the mournful cry of an eagle coming from behind him.

"Li Yao!!!"

The Third Raikage roared, and brilliant black lightning suddenly burst out from his body.

But before the Third Raikage could explode, the two shadow clones of Li Yao who were fighting with him suddenly "bang bang" and dissipated on their own initiative.

The Third Raikage's expression changed, and he turned around and ran towards his subordinates.

When he arrived outside the valley, in the dense woods, Damocles and four other subordinates had already fallen to the ground, their heads pierced through, with red and white fluid flowing all over the ground, completely lifeless.

Judging from the fact that the four men's hands were still forming hand seals, they had no ability to resist Li Yao and were subdued and killed by the illusion in an instant.

"Li...Yao!!!"

The Third Raikage's eyes were burning with anger. He leaped suddenly, and in a few steps, he reached the top of the tree and jumped high up again.

He turned around and looked up into the sky, but there was no trace of Li Yao.

"hateful!!!"

The Third Raikage fell down with a fierce punch, creating a big hole in the ground.

Even so, it couldn't relieve the anger in his heart.

No matter how angry he was, the fact that he had lost track of Li Yao was already a fact.

The only ones we can rely on now are the two Anbu ninjas from Konoha.

The Third Raikage turned around and walked up to his four companions, collected the bodies with a sealing scroll, and then once again went to the top of the tree and waited.

If the two Anbu ninjas still wanted him to deal with Li Yao, they should give him information about Li Yao's whereabouts.

ten minutes later.

The Third Raikage had a gloomy expression as he descended from the treetop and quickly left for the eastern part of the Land of Earth.

Obviously, Konoha wants to pick peaches.

Even if Li Yao didn't die at this time, he would be extremely weak, and any Genin could kill him.

However, the Third Raikage, who had lost four of his subordinates, had no way to deal with Li Yao, who was able to fly in the air.

The only benefit that can be gained is from the two Anbu ninjas from Konoha.

but……

"I won't make the same mistake again!"

There was a flash of fire in the eyes of the Third Raikage, and he made a decision in his heart. He would launch a war against Konoha when he returned. Since he couldn't get Li Yao, he would just destroy Konoha directly, not giving Konoha the opportunity to have more Wood Release ninjas, and directly destroy the source.

In a blink of an eye.

Half an hour after the Third Raikage left, four figures, one small and three large, floated in the air above the valley, overlooking the lush green forest below.

A small oasis forest with a diameter of two kilometers suddenly appeared on the reddish-brown land. It was obviously not a normally formed forest.

Then... there is only one possibility!

"Wood Release!"

The small figure floating in the middle looked solemnly at the forest below and uttered two heavy words.

"Tsuchikage-sama, are you talking about the famous bloodline limit of the first Hokage - Wood Release?"

The other people floating in the air were all shocked when they heard this, and looked at the forest below in disbelief.

Is this the change that ninjutsu can make?

All I can say is that they are too young.

"Besides Wood Release, is there any other ninjutsu that can create such a forest in an instant?"

The Third Tsuchikage Ohnoki said this with a hint of deep uneasiness in his eyes.

Looking at the area of ​​the forest below, although it is not as large as the scale of the First Hokage's Wood Release, the person who can create a forest of this size and use Wood Release must have a huge amount of chakra.

Even if the opponent's strength is not as good as the first generation Hokage, he is definitely a top-level strongman.

A ninja with such a powerful Wood Release technique suddenly appeared in the Land of Earth... During this sensitive period of war, Ohnoki could not afford to be unvigilant.

Chapter 113 Sarutobi Tenju's Determination

"Tsuchikage-sama, look there."

An Iwagakure beside Ōnoki suddenly pointed to the forest on the lower left, where a small corner of a huge wing was revealed.

Oonoki looked over when he heard that, and his eyes suddenly fixed.

"Walk."

The four of them came to the place where the giant eagle's wings were exposed and saw the full appearance of the giant eagle, with its gray-brown feathers and sharp claws. It was the giant eagle that was killed by Li Yao.

Because it was too big, the Third Raikage couldn't take the body away and had to leave it here.

"Tsuchikage-sama, it is a summoning beast raised by the Kumogakure Daruma family."

An Iwagakure ANBU ninja who followed said softly.

As the mortal enemy of Kumogakure, the Iwagakure Anbu was very familiar with the giant eagle summoned by the Daruma family of Kumogakure. They could tell at a glance that the giant eagle that died underground was a summoned beast bred by the Daruma family.

Ohnoki narrowed his eyes slightly when he heard this, and looked at the Iwagakure Jonin who had rescued his little daughter, and asked, "Iwakatsu, is that the giant eagle that the Third Raikage rides?

The senior ninja Iwagakure named Iwakatsu was the captain of the border patrol team who was the first to arrive at the small town in the Land of Earth and discovered that the youngest daughter of the Third Tsuchikage Ōnoki had been kidnapped.

He took a step forward and took a closer look. After making sure he was not mistaken, he turned back and nodded to Ōnoki and said, "Lord Tsuchikage, this is the giant eagle that the Third Raikage and his party rode on at that time."

"The forest here..."

Upon hearing this, Ohnoki's heart sank, he knew who the Third Raikage was chasing after, and it was because of this that his most beloved little daughter was seriously injured and almost died.

If Yan Sheng, who was tracking Li Yao, had not happened to use a telescope to see the battle between the Third Raikage and Li Yao in the distance, he would have saved his precious daughter who fell into the sea with her last breath.

Then his precious daughter...

"Can you sense Li Yao's chakra?"

Retracting his thoughts, the Sandaime fixed his eyes, turned around and asked the Anbu ninja.

Even if Li Yao possesses Wood Release, so what? He is no longer the Oonoki who was frightened by Uchiha Madara and could not move.

No matter who it is, whether it is the Third Raikage or Li Yao who knows Wood Release.

He will not let go of anyone who dares to hurt his precious daughter.

"Lord Tsuchikage, we can no longer sense Li Yao's chakra, but we have found traces of chakra in the direction where the Third Raikage left."

An Iwagakure Anbu came from the right. He went to check the surroundings as soon as he came down. He was not familiar with Li Yao's chakra, and Li Yao could fly, so it was difficult to track him through the chakra traces.

However, when the Third Raikage left, he had no intention of hiding his tracks. He drove the Lightning Chakra Mode all the way towards the Sea of ​​War.

"Chase."

Without saying a word, Ōnoki flew into the sky and followed the traces left by the Third Raikage.

According to the previous logic, the Third Raikage should be chasing Li Yao. As long as the Third Raikage is found, the culprit of all this will naturally be found - Li Yao.

at this time.

The culprit mentioned by Ohnoki - Li Yao, flew over a mountain range in the Land of Earth and could no longer suppress the acupuncture points in his body.

He quickly dispersed the last shadow clone, took back the Black Iron Giant Eagle, and then landed on the mountains below. He randomly found a cave to enter, sat down, and used all his strength to control the acupoint chakra to restrain the breath that continued to leak out of the acupoint space.

At this time, seven kilometers above the sky outside the cave, a large ink-and-wash bird was watching here.

"Are you really going to do it now?"

Sarutobi Ayase looked at her husband worriedly and said softly, "Why don't we wait for the backup plan that our father has arranged."

"You saw it too."

Sarutobi Tensho turned to look at his wife. He saw a forest several dozen meters high rising from the ground in an instant. He said in a trembling voice, "Li Yao's Wood Style... that monster's Wood Style... his body is only twelve years old. If we wait any longer, we will be facing the God of Ninja, not Li Yao!"

"..." Thinking of the Wood Release that Li Yao had demonstrated in the valley before, Sarutobi Ayase also fell silent.

However, she still felt that it was too dangerous and unsafe to deal with Li Yao now.

If Li Yao's soul leaves and takes over someone else's body, then the plan to seal Li Yao will be impossible unless Li Yao is found again.

But it is not easy to find Li Yao who has taken over someone else's body.

This can be seen from the fact that the Third Hokage has been investigating for several years but has not been able to find Li Yao's identity before he took over Kimura Yao's body.

After Li Yao took over someone else's body, it was difficult for anyone to notice.

If Konoha didn't happen to have Minato Namikaze, who possessed the special chakra perception ability, it would not have been able to tell that Kimura Yao had been possessed by another spirit.

Therefore, the safest approach is to not act rashly and wait for the backup plans of your father-in-law, the Third Hokage.

Thinking of this, in order to dispel her husband's concerns about taking action now, she continued: "Maybe this is just the power that Li Yao possesses when he uses his secret technique. His Wood Release is not that powerful."

"No, you're wrong." Sarutobi Tensho shook his head and said, "He can use the terrifying Wood Release after the secret technique is released, which means that his Wood Release will definitely reach the level it is now in the future."

"But……"

"No buts. We must seal Li Yao now. Even if we cannot seal him, we must make him give up his current body."

Sarutobi Tenzhu's eyes were determined. No matter what, he could not let Li Yao continue to possess this body that would be able to perform perfect Wood Release in the future.

Of course, we can't let this body be taken away by the Third Raikage.

This is also the reason why Sarutobi Tenju did not tell the Third Raikage Li Yao's whereabouts.

The Wood Release potential of Li Yao's body is too terrifying.

God knows how shocked he was when he saw a forest with a diameter of two kilometers suddenly rise up in the valley.

The Third Raikage did not know about Li Yao's situation and thought that Li Yao had received the fusion of the First Raikage's Wood Release Cells since he was a child, which was why he had such a powerful Wood Release.

But as a member of the Anbu, he also participated in the Wood Release Reappearance Plan. He knew very well that Li Yao could possess such a powerful Wood Release in just two or three years, which showed that his body adapted to the first generation cells very quickly.

And...it's all that old guy Danzo's fault!

Considering that what Li Yao fused was the original fluid of the first generation cells that had not been weakened, theoretically Li Yao could reproduce the power of the first generation's peak Wood Release.

When he thought of this, Sarutobi Tenshu couldn't help but curse Danzo, the old man who had always been holding his father back.

Why use the original cell stock solution for the experiment when there are so many options?

Now, Li Yao's current body is integrating Wood Release cells too quickly.

If he continues to wait, even if his father's backup plan is powerful, it will be in vain facing Li Yao, who possesses Wood Release as powerful as the first Hokage.

Back then, the first generation was able to pacify the troubled times with his Wood Release. He had seen all kinds of powerful ninjutsu, but in the end, who could do anything to the first generation?

Faced with the terrifying large-scale attack of the Tree World's Advent, even the strongest ninja would be as exhausted as the Third Raikage and could not get close to Li Yao.

If they wait any longer, until Li Yao develops the technique of wooden men and wooden dragons, then the real God of Ninja will return to the world, and Konoha and even the Ninja World will be destroyed in Li Yao's hands.

Because at that time, the entire ninja world combined was no match for Li Yao.

This is the horror of the peak Wood Release, which has the terrifying power to sweep the world.

Sarutobi Tenshū would never allow such a future to happen.

"But... Li Yao..."

Sarutobi Ayase understood the truth, but she still wanted to say that Li Yao had unknown means, and it would be too risky for them to act directly.

However, Sarutobi Tenzhu had already made up his mind to die.

Chapter 114 So that’s it

"No buts, this is the best time, there will never be another opportunity like this in the future."
