Naruto: Countless versions of myself superimposed at the same time!

The fur beneath his feet was trembling.

"He really is a beast, so despicable."

Obito snorted coldly.

He used his Kaleidoscope genjutsu on Kurama in an attempt to regain control, but found that Kurama remained completely still.

No matter how he mobilized or poured in chakra, Kurama remained frozen in place like a stone statue.

Its eyes were wide open, and its pupils were filled with fear.

He gritted his teeth, his hands covered in soil.

Kiyohara's illusion magic was actually stronger than his.

Could this be Kiyohara's illusion-type eye technique?

Kiyohara has already demonstrated two pupil techniques.

A "Amaterasu", a singularity that can influence gravity.

How come there's a third eye technique now?

"Nine-Tails!"

Obito roared.

The Nine-Tails' ears twitched, but its body remained unresponsive.

"The effect is okay."

Qingyuan secretly said.

"Then let's try Wood Release next."

Kiyohara clasped his hands together in front of his chest.

He began to try to refine Earth Release and Water Release chakra, flowing it along the meridian system to his hands and releasing it from the chakra points in his palms.

Wood Release...!

The earth began to tremble.

Everyone sensed something was wrong in that instant.

Hiashi Hyuga stood on a distant rooftop, his bright white pupils suddenly widening.

He saw an unbelievable scene in his disdainful gaze.

Countless thick tree trunks burst forth from the ground.

The branches extend in all directions, with tiny twigs sprouting from them, and tender green leaves unfolding at a visible speed under the moonlight.

The tree trunks spread outwards like a green tide.

Wherever it went, the stone slabs were lifted up, and the gravel was caught in the gaps between the branches.

The collapsed building wreckage was encased by tree trunks and eventually completely swallowed up.

In just a few breaths, a small forest appeared around the Nine-Tails.

The trunks of those trees were so thick that it took several people to encircle them, and their canopies intertwined overhead to form a dense, impenetrable dome.

Tree trunks and vines surged toward the nine-tailed fox from all directions, leaving fine marks on its fur from the thick trunks.

The Nine-Tails' body was dragged down by the tree trunks and vines.

His limbs were fixed in place, his knees were locked to the tree trunk, his waist was entangled in vines, and even his tail was tied to the tree branches, making it impossible for him to move.

Only then did the Nine-Tails break free from the illusion of "Naraku Yomi-tsu".

Its pupils refocused, and the scene before it was reflected in its scarlet vertical pupils: a forest, a forest that seemed to have sprung up out of thin air at its feet.

"This is the first generation's technique!"

Nine-Tailed Fox's heart trembled.

Back then, Madara Uchiha led him in the battle against Hashirama Senju, and he was powerless against the giant Thousand-Armed Buddha!

Responding to the stress, the nine-tailed fox swung its nine giant tails, shaking off several tree branches that were entangled around them.

With a powerful thrust of his forelegs, the muscles bulged beneath his fur, cracking the tree trunk wrapped around his legs.

But more tree trunks surged up, filling the cracks and binding them even more tightly.

"These branches can absorb chakra..."

Nine-Tailed Fox's face was grim.

He opened his enormous mouth, and chakra began to gather deep within his throat.

But a thick tree trunk stretched out from the side and wrapped around its jaw.

One end of the tree trunk pressed against its chin, while the other end was driven into the ground, opening its mouth at an angle.

The formation of the "Tailed Beast Ball" was interrupted, and crimson chakra overflowed from the corner of its mouth, turning into tiny specks of light and dissipating.

"Wood Release..."

Obito lost his voice.

How could Kiyohara know Wood Release?!

How did Kiyohara, who had never received a transplant of "Hashirama cells", manage to wield such power?

Black Zetsu, who had been observing the battlefield from outside, froze, his half-black, half-white face.

He had lived for over a thousand years and witnessed countless incredible things, but this scene before him still exceeded his comprehension.

Qingyuan Huimu escapes.

He recalled the path he had once considered: if Obito failed, Kiyohara would become the new vessel.

Initially, he was attracted by Kiyohara's numerous bloodline limits and his rapidly growing talent.

But now, Kiyohara has demonstrated Wood Release.

What does this mean?

This means that Kiyohara possesses the power of both the Uchiha and Senju clans!

Black Absolute didn't think any further. His body slowly sank into the ground, leaving only his yellow eyes visible as he continued to observe the battlefield.

……

Outside the village, Kisame Hoshigaki wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth.

His lips were cut by his own teeth, and his lower lip split open, with blood dripping down his chin onto his black robe with red clouds.

He looked up at the forest that had suddenly appeared out of nowhere in the village, a hint of surprise flashing in his shark-like eyes.

"There's a lot of commotion over there."

His voice was somewhat hoarse, and there was a metallic taste of blood in his throat.

Then he turned his head and looked at Matt Ke across from him.

Wearing the uniform of the Dark Guard, Mite Ke was covered in green steam, his skin was reddish, his veins were bulging, and the sweat that just flowed out was evaporated by the steam.

His breathing was rapid, each exhale carrying a hot stream of air.

"Your opponent is me."

Matt Ke spoke up.

He would never allow these enemies to attack the village!

Kisame Hoshigaki grinned, revealing a set of sharp teeth.

"You are the strongest taijutsu ninja I have ever seen."

Kisame Kisaki praised in admiration.

His gaze returned to Miteke, preparing to unleash a water-style ninjutsu.

In any case, since it's 'Uchiha Madara' controlling the Nine-Tails in the battle, there shouldn't be any major problems.

……

Outside the barrier, Hiruzen Sarutobi stood on the roof of a building, looking at the suddenly appearing forest, his fingers slowly tightening around his staff.

"It's Wood Release...?"

"It certainly seems so."

The ape demon's voice came from the staff in his hand.

Sarutobi Hizan remained silent.

The Wood Release technique that Konoha tried to replicate with the full strength of the village back then has actually awakened Kiyohara's power.

Hiruzen Sarutobi knew about Yamato's existence.

But he also knew that Yamato's Wood Release was a complete imitation and could not possibly be as good as Kiyohara's.

"Sarutobi-sensei, Kiyohara is really exaggerating."

Orochimaru appeared near Hiruzen Sarutobi and licked his lips.

"Orochimaru, weren't you out on a mission?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen asked.

"I'll be back tonight."

Orochimaru shook his head.

He had originally gone out with Shennong to establish a new root base, but today he wanted to come back to deal with some matters related to the curse seal, and happened to witness the Nine-Tails' outburst.

"Now that we're here, let's be prepared to deal with it."

Hiruzen Sarutobi nodded.

"Perhaps we are not needed, Sarutobi-sensei."

Orochimaru chuckled.

In his view, the battle was almost one-sided, and Kiyohara's victory was clearly the one to be seen.

"We must not be careless."

Hiruzen Sarutobi nodded.

Even though Kiyohara is currently in the upper hand, he must always be wary of Kurama.

Where is Danzo?

Sarutobi Hiruzen asked again.

Whenever trouble arose, Hiruzen Sarutobi would find that Danzo Shimura had disappeared without a trace.

"Danzo is still evacuating the crowd."
