Konoha's Mission Master

"Excuse me, I am a ninja from Sunagakure..."

"Scorching Escape - Over-Steam Kill!"

Yecang apologized, but his moves were quite ruthless. The moisture in the air around the Wood Release Giant was instantly evaporated, and the temperature soared to several hundred degrees.

If a human body were to face such an attack, it would be burned within seconds, the skin and flesh would be separated, and the person would lose their life.

Unfortunately... it couldn't affect the wood clone inside the Wood Release giant.

The vines entwined, and the long sword cleaved straight down.

Yecang, fallen.

Compared to Yakumo, Kage-level characters are really not enough...

Yekura died so easily.

This was an expected result. Her strongest attack could not shake the Wood Release giant's defense, and coupled with her lack of taijutsu skills, Yakumo seized the opportunity and killed her with a single blow.

"you!"

Yekura's death angered the Third Kazekage.

He couldn't help but accelerate the input of iron sand, which filled the sky like a swarm of black insects. Finally, the iron sand formed a flowing chainsaw, which fought against another wooden clone.

"I told you, your actions will harm Sunagakure."

Yakumo's wood clone was able to speak very easily while fighting the Third Kazekage.

On the other hand, even the Fourth Raikage, A, was unable to destroy the Wood Release Giant's defenses, and the group was completely unable to influence the battle between Yakumo and Orochimaru.

"Elder Tsuru, if you return to Konoha now, you can still enjoy your old age in peace. I have already checked Uchiha Hengyan's body and there is no hidden weapon left by Orochimaru," Yakumo said softly.

Upon hearing this, Uchiha Tsuru's expression became complicated... and he spoke.

"...I have Orochimaru's restriction on me."

Yakumo's wooden clone nodded, his thoughts racing.

The pink Susanoo gradually spread, transforming from bones into a perfectly intact upper body. However, due to the upper limit of his eye power, he was unable to use the complete Susanoo.

Uchiha Tsuru also received Hashirama cells. Although she was unable to develop the Rinnegan, she was able to quickly restore her own eye power, making the semi-adult Susanoo a routine procedure.

The Wood Release giant that killed Yekura immediately merged with the Wood Release giant facing Uchiha Tsuru. The two giants, each over fifty meters tall, began to fight with their swords, creating a terrifying hurricane as they battled.

The two gradually moved away from the center of the battle.

Yakumo's true form then charged towards Orochimaru.

"Refined by Holy Light".

The surrounding sunlight converged towards Yakumo, forming a half-meter-wide beam of light that steadily fell on the surface of the Glory Sword Case, turning it pure white.

This time, the Glory Sword Box gathered sunlight from hundreds of miles around, and in the blink of an eye, the sky turned pitch black, leaving only a few scattered stars.

Fortunately... this change only lasted for less than two seconds.

Yakumo gripped the Demon-Subduing Sword and the Jade-Unlocking Sword again. The two weapons seemed to come alive, trembling slightly... as if the hearts of two giant beasts were buried within them, and the two weapons yearned for battle.

He used the power of Wood Release to create a forest hell.

At this moment, he was fighting five powerful figures alone, and he was not at a disadvantage at all.

The Fourth Raikage, standing in the distance, couldn't help but feel a desire to retreat.

Within the Owl organization, there are also relationships of closeness and distance.

For example, Uchiha Tsuru is bound by restrictions and belongs to the type that is absolutely unable to betray Orochimaru.

The Third Kazekage and Ebizo temporarily joined the Owl organization out of hatred, with their sole goal being to kill Yakumo.

Ai is the outermost type, whose goal is also to kill Yakumo, but if things don't go well, he will immediately choose to retreat to save himself.

Although the murder of one's father needs to be avenged...

But the stability of Hidden Cloud Village is even more important.

"Yakumo-kun, you really excite me."

Orochimaru remained calm, rapidly forming hand seals... He was the key to this battle; the others were merely there to deplete Yakumo's energy.

He summoned Yamata no Orochi again.

After a few minutes of recovery, the Yamata no Orochi no longer showed any injuries, only its size had shrunk by one-fifth.

It still measures several hundred meters in length, with eight large mouths exhaling a stench, its primal and ferocious aura spreading and surging.

It's possible that some kind of secret technique was used to achieve a faster recovery.

"Sage Art: Wood Release: Super Wood Dragon Technique!"

Yakumo clasped his hands together and formed nine giant dragons, each hundreds of meters long, from blood-red tree roots, which worked together to fight the Yamata no Orochi.

The dragon's body coiled around the long neck of the eight-headed serpent, while the dragon's head and the eight-headed serpent tore at each other.

Occasionally, the eight-headed serpent will spew out a deep purple, corrosive venom that melts parts of the dragon.

But it recovered in the blink of an eye and continued biting...

This kind of battle is quite simple, yet incredibly awe-inspiring.

The Wood Release Dragon technique was similar, except that it split off small black thorns that began to spread into the flesh and blood through the gaps between the giant snake's scales.

However, their battle was so fierce that it was difficult to determine who was superior.

In addition, the lush growth and spread of various plants can be seen everywhere.

The battlefields clashed separately.

Orochimaru has completely transformed into a snake, his legs together... transforming into a snake tail, but his speed has increased significantly.

The two men brandished their weapons and clashed repeatedly.

The sun's fire ignited the scales...

The battle had reached its climax, with countless attacks of different colors annihilating each other, and terrifying roars spreading outwards.

Uchiha Tsuru, as a member of the Uchiha clan, is also skilled in fire-style ninjutsu. He floats at the core of Susanoo and attacks by spewing out a sea of ​​fire from his mouth.

The attack was like a giant firework bursting into bloom, unleashing intense heat, but it failed to ignite the Wood Release giant's skin upon impact.

The two giants were also clashing and fighting. Knowing that Fire Release was ineffective, Uchiha Tsuru used Fire Release ninjutsu even more vigorously, as if he were an actor with excellent acting skills.

On the surface, it used a powerful and imposing attack, but in reality, it did not cause any damage to Yakumo's Wood Release Giant.

Clearly, although Orochimaru controlled Uchiha Tsuru with his restriction, the two were not working together.

Furthermore, Yakumo and Uchiha Tsuru gradually moved away from the center of the battle.

"Elder Tsuru, I will use Wood Release to create a space, which should temporarily isolate Orochimaru from the restriction. I am confident that I can remove the restriction directly. Shall we take a gamble?"

Yakumo released his Wood Release: Giant Form, using tree roots to create a massive spherical space, deliberately leaving a passage wide enough for two people, as if inviting someone into a trap.

Uchiha Tsuru didn't hesitate and went straight in...

Not far away, Orochimaru, who was engaged in battle, looked extremely grim. He could no longer sense the aura of the restriction, as if it were some kind of sealing technique blocking him.

Clearly... Uchiha Tsuru has betrayed us.

Not long after, the situation on the battlefield changed.

At the moment the Third Kazekage was repelled, Ebizo faced two wooden clones of Yakumo simultaneously.

After resisting for two moves, he was also struck by a long sword from a Wood Release clone, and a huge wound appeared on his body, his blood staining the ground red.

This is a potentially fatal wound!

At the moment of his death, nearly seventy years old, Ebizo's expression became indifferent... He left no last words or explanations.

But... I murmured countless times... Sister, sister... Sister... Sister.

In the past, when he was weak, Chiyo protected him countless times.

Later, he took charge of the Sunagakure intelligence department, deciding to become the strongest shield in the shadows, to block all underhanded tactics for her, and to always support Chiyo.

"Now... I can finally go see my sister..."

Ebizo, fallen!

Chapter 287 Sneak Attack, Orochimaru's Backup Plan

The battlefield was divided into three parts.

Yakumo VS Orochimaru.

Wood clone VS Third Kazekage and Fourth Raikage.

The wooden clone removed the restrictions from Uchiha Tsuru's body.

With the deaths of Ebizo and Pakura, and the sudden betrayal of Uchiha Tsuru, the pressure on the Third Kazekage and the Fourth Raikage suddenly increased.

Magnet Release is effective against iron weapons, but it cannot affect Wood Release giants. Each simple swing of the Magnet Release weapon carries hundreds of tons of pressure.

Furthermore… those Wood Release giants didn’t just swing their swords randomly; they precisely controlled every bit of energy, using golden blade energy to outline a vast and impenetrable net in the air.

Neither the Third Kazekage's iron sand barrier nor the Fourth Raikage's relatively strong defense could withstand the terrifying blade aura that stretched for hundreds of meters.

They were unable to break through the enemy's defenses, nor could they withstand a single blow from the enemy.

If Orochimaru hadn't continued to entangle Yakumo's true form, the two of them might already be dead.

As time passed, half an hour went by.

The Wood Release Giant seized the opportunity when the Third Kazekage and A were coordinating their attacks, and withstood their combined assault.

Thirty-six water bullets were used to restrict the Third Kazekage's position in the air.

"Not good."

The Third Kazekage immediately sensed something was wrong and summoned iron sand to form a thick iron armor around his body for defense.

"Snapped!"
