I might be a fake Ultraman.

I was terrified!

Danzo suddenly didn't know what to do.

The moment he was locked onto by pairs of disapproving eyes, he felt as if he had been dead for a while.

He didn't come to his senses until a gentle breeze blew past him, making him shiver.

Before he knew it, he was covered in a cold sweat.

"This is bad, we can't stay here any longer!" Shimura Danzo was startled and immediately ordered, "Attack!"

Upon receiving the order, the Root ninjas launched an attack without hesitation.

With the cover of the Root ninjas, Shimura Danzo immediately fled outside.

The remaining Hyuga clan ninjas instantly teleported to the front lines and engaged in battle with the Root ninjas.

The Hyuga clan ninjas of today are different from those of the past.

They not only received the baptism of the moon goddess's power, but also comprehended the Sage Mode unique to the Hyuga clan on the Bitter Love Tree.

Although their numbers were small, they successfully blocked the first wave of attacks from the Root ninjas.

The Hyuga clan's Sage Mode amplifies the Hyuga clan's Byakugan bloodline, manifesting as the "Byakugan: Intimidation" ability, which becomes passive.

If this behavior is not curbed, those who are subjected to disdainful stares will suffer an invisible psychological attack.

The Hyuga clan members, who had just begun their cultivation journey, were disturbed by Danzo Shimura.

They all looked at Shimura Danzo and unconsciously activated this ability.

Even though the Byakugan of each Hyuga clan member was of average power, when combined, it still gave Shimura Danzo a feeling of impending death.

If it weren't for Shimura Danzo's strong will that allowed him to hold on, any other ordinary Jonin would have fainted from his glare.

However, what made Shimura Danzo run away at this moment was not his collapsing will, but his own desire to survive.

Although the remaining Hyuga clan ninjas were doing their best to fight against the attacking Root, they were gradually falling into a disadvantage due to the disparity in numbers.

While ordinary women and children of the Hyuga clan also practice Gentle Fist, their combat strength is quite limited.

This can be considered a drawback of being a caged bird.

Like the Uchiha, the Hyuga clan also has members who lack ninja talent, but the difference is...

The Uchiha clan requires certain conditions to awaken their Sharingan.

However, for the Hyuga clan, awakening the Sharingan simply requires diligent training and sufficient accumulation of knowledge; most members can achieve this.

Unfortunately, the Caged Bird technique directly broke the wings of those clansmen who lacked ninja talent, forcing them to serve as maids and servants within the clan.

Non-ninja members of the Uchiha clan can run shops and help the clan in other ways.

Non-ninja members of the Hyuga clan could only serve as maids and servants within the clan, with no other options.

But that was before.

However, although these people have resumed their cultivation, don't even think about getting them to become combatants.

The Hyuga clan ninjas were clearly losing ground.

A loud shout rang out.

"I'm here to help you!"

Fukasaku and Shima rushed out together, activating Sage Mode and charging into the Root ninja.

The Slug Sage also split into a large number of smaller slugs, which crawled onto the injured members of the Hyuga clan and treated them.

In the shrine.

Baili Yuan sat upright on the shrine, adopting a posture of cross-legged meditation.

Bulbasaur and Shaymin, one on the left and one on the right, lay on either side as guardian mythical beasts.

On the futons below, some sitting, some lying, were the figures of three elves—

Ralts, Galarian Slowpoke, Snowman.

Baili Yuan slightly opened his eyes and made a sound.

"Go~"

The next moment.

Ralts disappeared from the spot.

Ralts, who had long sensed the sounds of battle outside, was eager to make his move.

Ralts, who was initially afraid of the outside world, has gradually opened its heart after feeling the sincerity of Baili Yuan and the other Pokémon. At least it is no longer afraid of the outside world.

This is probably because she gradually gained strength and was no longer the weak, pitiful, and helpless baby she once was.

However, perhaps because of her past experiences, she now deeply despises evil people.

Snow Child first informed Baili Yuan, then floated up and flew outside the shrine.

As for Galar Slowpoke...

"stay……"

His mind was still blank, and he hadn't yet reacted to Baili Yuan's words.

However, Galar Slowpoke is the one that started training the fastest and has the fastest training speed.

All Baili Yuan needs to do is inject natural energy into Galar Slowpoke's body and then transmit the training method to Galar Slowpoke, and Galar Slowpoke will be able to operate on its own.

This is probably how the state of selflessness helps in spiritual practice.

"Alright, you can keep lying down."

"stay……"

Galar Slowpoke's lack of reaction doesn't mean the other Pokémon won't react.

Heracross, accompanied by its henchman Heracross and followed by Aluminosi, charged out of its home and joined the battle outside.

The long-eared rabbit also came out.

Although they had little interest in the tedious training and had not yet reached the beginner level of Sage Mode, they were very interested in combat.

Ralts instantly teleported outside, clasped his hands together, and immediately entered Sage Mode.

A mark representing her superpower appeared on her forehead, and the corresponding color appeared on her body.

This is Sage Mode, personally taught by Bulbasaur.

It has to be said that Pokémon truly deserves to be the darling of the world; they sense the natural energy of the ninja world with remarkable ease.

With effort, one can generally reach the threshold within a few days.

Those with exceptional talent can even learn Sage Mode quickly, like Ralts.

Sage Mode may not directly and significantly increase a Pokémon's level or strength. However, it can cause some special changes to the Pokémon's attributes.

Attribute fusion can even occur, achieving an effect similar to bloodline limit.

This will greatly help the elves' future growth and the development of their strength.

Moreover, even weak Pokémon like Ralts experience a significant power boost after entering Sage Mode.

It's already comparable to the power boost brought about by super evolution.

It's a pity that Ralts hasn't developed its own Sage Mode yet.

According to Bulbasaur, different Pokémon, based on their own characteristics and personalities, can develop unique magical abilities that are distinct from their own.

Or you could give it a name in the style of Pokémon—Fairy Move.

Even so, Sage Mode doubles the power of Ralts' psychic attacks, and the psychic balls that rain down are something that most Root Chunin couldn't withstand.

After fighting for a while, Ralts glowed with the light of evolution.

As the light faded, Ralts officially evolved into Kirlia.

Kirlia's attack power has reached a new level.

Yukidouji chose to provide support from the rear. After activating Sage Mode, an ice-attribute mark appeared on her forehead.

As Yukidouji unleashed his ice power, it created the effect of Ice Release, spreading ice that froze the bodies of the Root ninjas and slowed their movements.

Heracross and Caesars then joined the battle.

Heracross: The battle is awesome!

Keiros: One person's blood is not enough to pay the price!

Then they encountered a Jonin.

The two insects split apart, revealing the aluminum-steel bridge dragon following behind.

Heracross, Carlos: Go talk to our aluminum-steel bridge dragon!

boom!
The Jonin crushed them instantly.

Aluminum-steel bridge dragon: I thought it was a speed bump. (End of this chapter)
