Konoha: The thirty-year-old Uchiha lacks motivation.

Chapter 96 You collapsed before I even exerted any effort

"How naughty! He actually sneaked up to someone's side."

A fleeting look of surprise crossed her face. Although the girl, enveloped in Susanoo, was slightly taken aback, she was quite confident in her own strength and did not take Uchiha Gin seriously.

Without the slightest hesitation, he immediately manipulated Susanoo's other hand to grab the person sitting on his shoulder.

"What can I say?"

Seeing the menacing crimson hand approaching, Uchiha Gin, sitting atop Susanoo, calmly shook his head, uttered something the girl couldn't understand, then stood up and stretched out an arm to warm up.

"The Secret Techniques of Uchiha Fluid Techniques"

Uchiha Gin's voice reached the girl's ears through Susanoo. Seeing his nonchalant attitude despite his impending doom, the girl was filled with rage and no longer held back. She pressed down with her large hand, which contained terrifying power.

"Hehehehehe, I've got you!"

Seeing her palm enveloping Uchiha Gin's figure, the girl inside the Susanoo shouted excitedly, "This time, Gin has no way to escape!"

"Laurel's elbow strike!"

Uchiha Gin's cold voice rang out, and an elbow strike imbued with unparalleled strength slammed directly into the menacing palm.

Suddenly, the girl felt a resistance coming from the large hand she was holding down on Uchiha Gin. Before she could think about it, she was horrified to find that the hand had slipped out of her control.

"Boom!"

To everyone's horror, the giant hand controlled by the girl was actually broken by Uchiha Ginichi's elbow strike. The cherry-red severed hand flew hundreds of meters before slowly dissipating.

"You? You!."

The girl stared blankly at her severed Susanoo, her mouth agape as if it had been dislocated. No matter how hard she tried, she couldn't believe that Uchiha Gin could suppress her Susanoo simply by relying on taijutsu.

This shocking scene not only plunged the girl into deep self-doubt, but also stunned the others present. They all stopped what they were doing and stared blankly at Uchiha Gin, who was swinging his arms.

a few minutes ago

Upon seeing the giant rising in the distance, Uchiha Tajima's heart tightened. Worried that Uchiha Gin would be harmed by the corrupted Mumei, he was about to fly over to provide support when he was blocked by the suddenly appearing Wang Liang.

"Who exactly are you?"

Uchiha Tajima remained wary of the strange person following behind Uchiha Yao from beginning to end. This dark-skinned fellow was definitely not one of the Uchiha clan.

"He is a product of my will, a weapon given to me by God for revenge."

The grinning Manryo remained silent, while Uchiha Yao stepped forward to explain.

"I originally wanted to torture you to death while you were still aware of your own existence, to let you experience the despair that Jin went through. But now it seems I might be letting you off easy."

Seeing that he couldn't rely on the nameless old man for the time being, he turned to Wang Liang, who was eager to settle a personal score, and gave the order.

"Unjust, that's right."

"Bang!!!"

Before the old man could finish speaking, a giant hand flew past them, grazing their scalps, and crashed onto a hillside hundreds of meters away.

The three people present seemed to be frozen in place, stiffly turning their heads to look at the distant location where Uchiha Gin was.

"This is impossible, it must be an illusion!"

The girl in Susanoo stared with scarlet eyes, trying to find traces of genjutsu on Uchiha Gin.

"Tsk, it's a little numb."

Ignoring the girl's words, Uchiha Gin shook his numb arm. It seemed that he had hit a nerve in his elbow. It seemed that elbow strikes should be used with caution, as a bad elbow strike could result in injury and death.

"Go to hell!"

The savage aura lurking in the girl's mind eroded her reason, leaving her with only the desire to kill.

After struggling for a while, she finally managed to pull out the wood-chopping knife. The girl held her throbbing head, her eyes unfocused. Controlled by instructions in her mind, she urged Susanoo to slash at Uchiha Gin beneath her once more.

"Sigh, I'm in a hurry, I'll finish you off in one go."

Knowing that the longer he delayed, the more dangerous his uncle's situation would become, Uchiha Gin, realizing he couldn't afford to waste any more time, went to meet the wood-chopping knife that was aimed at him.

As he ran, he clasped his hands together, channeling his chakra into them, and slowly uttered a name.

"Wood Release: Advent of the World of Trees"

The ground beneath Uchiha Gin's feet rose up, and thick trees burst forth from the earth. He stood on a newly grown giant tree, directing countless giant branches to wrap around the girl's Susanoo.

Before the girl could even bring down her wood-chopping axe, the branches imbued with mysterious power had already swiftly climbed onto her Susanoo, binding her tightly.

No matter how hard she tried, she couldn't break free from these restraints. The tightly bound branches were still consuming her chakra, leaving her temporarily too weak to move.

"What kind of technique is this?!"

The girl trapped inside Susanoo couldn't help but ask a question. She had never seen this kind of ninjutsu before. She struggled to sit up and stared intently at Uchiha Gin standing on the tip of the tree, wanting him to give her an answer.

The two who had stopped fighting nearby also perked up their ears, wanting to hear how Uchiha Gin would explain the ninjutsu he had used.

When Uchiha Gin used brute force to sever the girl's Susanoo, Wang Liang was only slightly surprised. After all, that level of Susanoo wasn't the hardest; an ordinary ninja could break it.

However, when Uchiha Gin clapped his hands and unleashed Wood Release, he was completely dumbfounded and fell into self-doubt, wondering if he, as a product of Yin-Yang Release, could truly be immune to genjutsu.

For thousands of years, this was the first time the filial son had seen a ninja besides Hagoromo and Ashura who could use Wood Release, and who was also a descendant of Indra. No, no, this information was too explosive; he couldn't accept it for a moment.

Why? How could Uchiha Gin, a descendant of Indra, use Ashura's Wood Release? Why?! Could it be that Hagoromo had something to offer?

"Kids, don't ask questions you shouldn't."

Satisfied with his "Advent of the Tree World" technique, Uchiha Gin recalled the NPC that had appeared one night.

On a dark and windy night, a brown, spiky-haired man wearing a Jonin vest walked out from the light screen in the backyard.

Upon seeing Uchiha Gin, he didn't say a word, clasped his hands together, and shouted excitedly, as if afraid of missing a golden opportunity.

"Wood Release: Sea of ​​Trees Descends!"

When Uchiha Gin heard the words "Wood Release," he was startled, but when he saw that the person was a master of landscaping and civil engineering, he felt relieved.

Without the opponent lingering, he swung out two lightning spears and instantly killed Yamato, who had just summoned a small grove of trees.

"The backyard refreshes daily with a random skill [Wood Release: Descent of the Tree Sea]. Obtain Wood Release: Descent of the Tree Sea *1"

The memory abruptly ended

Yamato's Advent of the Sea of ​​Trees is actually Hashirama Senju's Advent of the World of Trees, but the Hashirama cells in Yamato's body are not enough to support him in using the original version of Advent of the World of Trees.

But Uchiha Gin was different. Having spent many years cultivating, he had already obtained the bloodline of the Senju clan.

At this moment, in addition to the Uzumaki and Hyuga clans, he also possesses the bloodlines of Kaguya and Senju, so when he uses the Advent of the Sea of ​​Trees, he can increase its power to be close to that of the original version of the First Hokage's Advent of the World of Trees.

"Hikaru, I'm coming in!"

Leaping onto the chest of the girl Susanoo, Uchiha Gin raised his foot and, under the horrified gaze of the corrupted Hikari, delivered a Painful Heaven Kick.

With a crisp sound like an egg cracking, the seemingly indestructible Susanoo in the girl's heart was kicked open with a large hole. Uchiha Gin nodded in satisfaction and swaggered inside.

Looking at the imposing curly-haired man before him, the corrupted Xiaoguang felt utterly hopeless; the opponent's physical skills were simply too strong.

Close combat was her weakness, and she couldn't use her kaleidoscope eye technique, so she could only be grabbed by the neck and lifted up like a little chick.

"Kill me or torture me, it's all up to you!"

The girl, with her chubby cheeks puffed out, defiantly turned her head away, closed her eyes, and awaited death.
