Konoha: This Uchiha is extremely sneaky

Chapter 461 Tree Binding for Eternal Burial

Unfortunately.

Even with Toshiro's help, he turned the surrounding swamp into the Swamp of the Dead.

Among these ninjas, there were some quite skilled individuals, and the Three-Tails was still nearby when they got close.

"You lot, all of you, get over here..."

Just as Chubei Maru was about to unleash his fury again, a spatial ripple spread out above his head, and then a black-robed man wearing a patterned mask landed on his head.

Moreover, as soon as he appeared, he quickly formed hand seals.

"Wood Release: Insertion Technique"

A wooden spear emerged from his right arm and stabbed it towards Toshiro's chest.

"You dare!"

Upon seeing this, Chubei Maru was filled with shock and rage. He immediately extended his giant claws and reached out to grab the mysterious person who had suddenly appeared.

"Damn it, it's too late!"

With a roar, Chubei Maru's eyes revealed surprise, uncertainty, and a hint of panic.

How did the other party appear?

Furthermore, its attack is merely a case of locking the barn door after the horse has bolted, and it doesn't have much effect.

Snapped!

A crisp sound.

Looking at the ring of crimson bones that appeared on Toshiro's body, Obito's eyes flashed with a look of "I knew it."

He was not naive enough to think that his good older brother would unsuspectingly throw his spirit into Yagura's sealed space.

Having some defensive measures is a normal phenomenon.

"Wood Release: Tree Binding for Eternal Burial"

After testing the waters with the Insertion Technique, Obito continued his actions without stopping, and then began to unleash a ninjutsu, specifically a Wood Release ninjutsu.

In the entire ninja world, if we were to ask who understands Wood Release the most, besides Hashirama Senju, Madara would definitely be among the top contenders.

As Madara's shadow, Obito undoubtedly inherited Madara's legacy.

Moreover, he felt that Wood Release was the most suitable way to break through the defenses of Susanoo.

As for the claws reaching out from behind, he simply ignored them.

"What is this?"

With his claws grasping at empty air, Chubei Maru didn't even have time to wonder how his opponent had dodged his attack.

Suddenly, his head became incredibly itchy, and then he saw a large number of trees suddenly grow on his head, wrapping around Toshiro.

Moreover, these trees grew so lush and leafy that they made it look as if the tree itself was wearing a green hat.

"My chakra!"

That's not all. It could clearly feel that the chakra within its body was being absorbed by these rapidly growing green trees and transformed into nutrients for its own growth.

It knew that the other party was not taking it seriously and was mainly targeting Toshiro. Otherwise, its fate would be very bad, and it suddenly became nervous.

"This is... Wood Release!"

Not only Chubeimaru, but also the Third Hokage, who was constantly watching Toshiro's every move, and Mei Terumi opposite him, became extremely nervous at this moment.

One reason is the emergence of Wood Release, and the other is the strange behavior of the Three-Tails.

"Konoha... they still have the legacy of Wood Release~"

Mei Terumi can't interfere with what's happening over there, but she can still make fun of her rival.

Her expression turned very strange. She looked the Third Hokage up and down, and a meaningful smile appeared on her lips.

"It seems... many people in Konoha don't really approve of Uchiha becoming Hokage!"

In her view, a user of the Wood Release Kekkei Genkai took advantage of the Fifth Hokage and the Fourth Mizukage's battle to suddenly ambush the Hokage from behind.

This is so interesting.

The connection between Wood Release and Sharingan... coupled with the identities of both parties, how big is the drama behind this?

Just thinking about it made her excited.

"Third Hokage, should we go and lend a hand too?"

With light steps, Mei Terumi stepped aside, and to show her sincerity, she even calmed the boiling chakra within her slightly.

"Whether you help the Fifth Hokage or that assassin who suddenly appeared, I will not interfere... Please... do as you see fit!"

Mei Terumi covered her mouth and chuckled softly, her eyes darting back and forth between the Third Hokage, Toshiro in the distance, and the assassin.

A fleeting look of inquiry mixed with a hint of schadenfreude crossed her beautiful blue eyes.

When she led the team to capture Uchiha Shisui, she knew that the Konoha leadership was not at peace, and a few days ago, news came that Uchiha had been elected Hokage.

Today, she saw the famous Wood Release descendant attacking the Hokage with Sharingan. This series of bombshell revelations greatly fueled her curiosity.

"..."

Perhaps it was because Mei Terumi's bright eyes were too dazzling, the Third Hokage lowered his eyes slightly, thought for a moment, a complex expression flashed in his eyes, and then he leaped a few times and went towards Toshiro's direction.

As for whether he helped Toshiro fight Obito or helped Obito fight Toshiro, only the Third Hokage himself knows.

Mei Terumi showed no intention of stopping them; instead, her eyes revealed a look of anticipation.

After a brief moment of contemplation, Mei Terumi's gaze swept across the entire battlefield, and then with a few leaps, she vanished from the spot.

She had important things to do and didn't have time to fantasize about the power struggles within Konoha's upper echelons.

It is no coincidence.

On the other side, Itachi, carrying Uchiha Izumi on his back, wiped the blood dripping from the corner of his eye, glanced at Hozuki Mangetsu kneeling on the ground opposite him, and then disappeared from the spot in a few leaps.

"Manyue, are you alright?"

Having already transformed into human form, Hozuki Genko, who had just stood in front of Mangetsu, watched as the emaciated figure disappeared.

My tense nerves relaxed, and I almost stumbled and fell to the ground.

She was incredibly grateful that her bloodline limit granted her immunity to physical attacks; otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to last more than a few rounds after being hit by the full moon.

"...He's not dead yet!"

At this moment, Hozuki Mangetsu's already pale face was completely devoid of color, as if he had been fighting for days and nights without closing his eyes.

"That's good, that really scared me to death!"

She had just turned one month old when the other person glanced at her, and then she felt completely broken, unable to even stand up straight.

It scared her quite a bit.

"That little... Uchiha's eyes!"

She originally wanted to call him "little devil," but when she thought of the other party's unpredictable methods, Xianzi immediately changed her mind.

Although it was just a fleeting glimpse, she noticed the change in the other person's eyes.

"It should be the Mangekyou Sharingan!"

He answered his girlfriend's question, then knelt on the ground, his legs trembling slightly as if they were no longer able to support his weight.

"That guy...is he really gone?"

"Yeah, they're really gone!"

Upon receiving Xianzi's affirmation, Manyue suddenly lost all her strength and collapsed into Xianzi's arms.

"…withdraw!"

The moment the word "withdraw" left her lips, Man Yue's eyes lost focus and became numb, leaving only the shouts of Xian beside her.

Hozuki Mangetsu never expected that even with Genko by his side, constantly monitoring his condition and dispelling the illusion, he would still be able to do so.

I still fell for their trick.

The thought of being stabbed repeatedly for three days and three nights in the illusion space made his body tremble unconsciously.

If this weren't a battlefield, unsuitable for confusion, he really would have wanted to close his eyes and leave it to fate.

He was just too tired.

It wasn't just his body that was tired; what was even more serious was his mental state. If he didn't find a good medical ninja to take a look at him, he estimated that he would be lying in a hospital bed for several months.

……

"Spiral Reversal"

Seeing so many trees, twisting and turning, they were originally in Toshiro's shadow, waiting to teach Obito's clone another lesson.

It can't be hidden any longer.

He appeared directly, then clapped his hands together, creating a spherical chakra barrier that enveloped Toshiro.

Faced with Wood Release, a ninjutsu that can absorb chakra, even Susanoo would be unable to withstand it if it stood still without moving.

The estimated outcome is not very promising.

"Frosty Sky!"

After performing the Spiral Heaven Reversal, the clone did not stop. It took the Kusanagi Sword directly from the main body, gathered chakra in its hand, and then swung it around.

A blue-green chakra beam extended from his hand into the Spiral Heaven technique.

Immediately, along the edges of this ninjutsu, bluish-green chakra spikes protruded, shredding the surrounding trees to shreds as the ninjutsu rotated.

"roar!"

A roar came.

Obito and Toshiro's clones were fighting above his head, and the first one to suffer was the one directly involved... the lizard.

Especially the opponent's Wood Release, which was constantly eroding its flesh and chakra. Toshiro's side was not to be outdone, with his rapidly spinning Spiral Heaven.

After acquiring Toshiro's bloodline limit, it felt as if a layer of its scalp was being shaved off with every rotation.

If it weren't for its relatively thick skin and the fact that Toshiro's clones were relatively restrained, it felt it would be dead by now.

No… it’s almost cold.

If Obito didn't control his Wood Release soon, he felt that the roots of those trees would pierce his skull within a few breaths.

"Aww!"

The claws that had just missed reached out again, grabbing at its own scalp and then pulling hard.

As a large amount of blood splattered, Chubei Maru let out a painful howl.

Then he started shaking his head frantically, trying to get rid of the pain from himself.

"pity!"

I managed to stabilize my body a little.

My Wood Release technique is still somewhat lacking. If I could reach a higher level, a mere summoning beast would be drained of its life force in just a few breaths.

However, he didn't dwell on it too much. His eyes surged with power, and a red explosive talisman covered with runes flew out from his eyes.

He prepared a large number of explosive tags this time. Once they were all taken out and detonated simultaneously, even Hyogoro would likely be unable to withstand them.

P.S.: This is 6,000 words for now. I'm still working on the other chapter, so the word count will be up to me.
