Uchiha's personal opinion

Two-Tails Matatabi had no interest in listening to Uchiha Tokumitsu's boasting.

It was so anxious!

"……knew!"

Speechless, Uchiha Tokukatsu activated his Susanoo in full armor, unleashing all six arms as he charged toward White Zetsu and the grove of Wood Release trees.

"Yasakani no Magatama!"

The two magatama first launched a probing attack.

"Wood Release: Wood Human Technique!"

White Zetsu immediately let out a shriek, and a surge of chakra burst forth from his body, creating a giant wooden figure in the forest beneath him, a head shorter than the Susanoo in its armor, which charged toward Uchiha Tokumitsu.

"Boom!!"

The magatama struck the wooden doll, shattering it into pieces, which were then restored to their original state as chakra flowed.

"boom!"

The armored Susanoo and the wooden golem collided violently!

"Immortal Technique - Five Escapes - Five Dragons Barrage!"

Uchiha Tokumitsu immediately released the Sage Chakra within his body, while frantically drawing upon the Two-Tails' chakra to form a ninjutsu within the mouth of the Susanoo's head, which he then unleashed towards the wooden doll.

"boom!"

No matter how much White Zetsu activated it, the wooden figure firmly held in place by the six giant arms of Susanoo could not escape the close-range Sage Art bombardment.

Five intertwined magical dragons shattered the wooden figure's head and then struck down at the White Zetsu below.

"Wood Release: Descent into the World of Flowering Trees!"

In a panic, White Zetsu frantically drew chakra and poured it into the forest beneath him, causing even taller and thicker tree trunks and branches to grow. These branches, like agile vines, wrapped around the Susanoo that was crashing into him!

At the same time, vibrant flowers continuously bloom on the newly sprouted tree trunks, and they release pollen containing highly poisonous substances!

"Firelight Venerable!"

With a thought, Uchiha Tokumitsu unleashed his Firelight Lord, which then wrapped around the body of the armored Susanoo. Despite being whipped and bound by countless tree trunks, it charged straight toward the panicked White Zetsu.

"Don't come any closer!"

White Zetsu screamed as he repeatedly unleashed Wood Release ninjutsu, but even the supreme Wood Release technique, Advent of the Flowering Tree World, was ineffective against Uchiha Tokumitsu, and his ordinary single-target Wood Release attacks were naturally ignored as well.

The towering, imposing Susanoo, like a mouse being chased away from an adult, forced White Zetsu to scatter in all directions.

"squeak!"

Just as White Zetsu was about to use his Mayfly Technique to escape underground, the scorching hot magma below forced him to jump out of the ground.

It was fortunate that it managed to escape, otherwise it would have been sealed inside by the solidified obsidian.

But then the Susanoo sword swept across the sky, and after summoning a wooden wall in front of the White Zetsu with no way to avoid it, it was cleaved in two in mid-air!

"It's really simple..."

Uchiha Tokumitsu was somewhat surprised.

Whether it was due to the White Zetsu's lack of strength or inexperience, Uchiha Tokumitsu felt that dealing with them was much easier than dealing with Old Man Madara.

"Burn it!"

"Burn it right now!"

Matatabi Nibi shouted in his mind again, "Quickly destroy the evidence!"

Uchiha Tokumitsu was too lazy to reply to the neurotic big cat anymore.

The Firelight Venerable, whose mind and spirit were in sync, instantly left his body and bit down on White Zetsu's lower body.

The moment the upper body of White Zetsu entered the realm of the Flower Tree World, Uchiha Tokumitsu's Susanoo sword slashed down again.

At the same time, chakra began to gather in the other four Susanoo arms, preparing for the bombardment of the tomoe.

At this moment, the Konoha ninjas who were providing support from the rear had also arrived and began to spread out in all directions to prepare to set up a sealing barrier.

Although they cannot participate in battles of this level, the sealing barrier can at least prevent the enemy from escaping.

For Uchiha Tokumitsu, this is the significance of having subordinates in battles of the same level.

"Kuroko!"

With only his upper body remaining, White Zetsu let out a scream, and then a ball of inner-colored gel-like substance gushed out from his lower body, transforming into his abdomen and legs.

"what!"

Uchiha Tokumitsu's eyelids twitched, but the momentum of the Susanoo sword's slashing motion did not diminish.

"Yin Yang Jade!!"

Even Jue, who was dressed in white on top and black on the bottom, had a hoarse voice.

A ball of black and white chakra spewed from Zetsu's mouth and crashed into the Susanoo sword.

"boom!"

The Susanoo sword was blasted in half by the black and white so-called "Yin-Yang Orb," but it quickly recovered as chakra flowed.

Uchiha Tokumitsu's expression remained unchanged as he continued to slash while throwing the Yasakani no Magatama and swinging the Susanoo sword.

"Wait a minute!"

"Listen to me!"

After transforming into a white-on-top, black-on-bottom state, the Black and White Zetsu's ability to control Wood Release weakened. Under the constant pressure of the surging magma, the Flower Tree World began to wither rapidly, and the ground was continuously covered by the gushing magma.

As the magma surged, Black and White Jue's room for maneuver became increasingly smaller.

Uchiha Tokumitsu ignored the words of the Black and White Zetsu, silently stirring the underground magma, turning the remaining Flower Tree Boundary area to ashes time and time again, and the Black and White Zetsu's usable ground area continued to shrink.

In his past life, even the resurrected Madara Uchiha was dealt a "heart-piercing" blow by the seemingly weak and powerless Black Zetsu. Tokumitsu Uchiha was unwilling to leave such a hidden danger by his side.

Who knows what kind of rhetoric this cunning old fox will use against me!

Moreover, he is currently in a state of controlling a tailed beast in battle. If the Two-Tails Matatabi notices something is wrong, it could cause a scene.

"Hey, run!"

Suddenly, Hei Bai Jue let out his previous shrill voice.

"Shut up, Afei!"

Then, his voice turned hoarse again.

"Two forces repel each other, yet combine to form one, thus giving rise to the myriad phenomena of the universe!"

Black and White Zetsu quickly recited an ancient incantation towards Uchiha Tokumitsu, then swiftly burrowed into the ground, attempting to escape.

This is the last section of the inscription on the stone tablet in the underground secret chamber of the Uchiha clan's shrine, and it is a secret that can only be seen by those with the Mangekyou Sharingan!

An ordinary Mangekyou Sharingan Uchiha ninja would probably be shocked at this moment.

But Uchiha Tokumitsu was different.

"Ninja Art: Fire Realm Hell!"

Uchiha Tokumitsu immediately detonated all the underground magma!

But in his perception, the black and white ape seemed unaffected by the high temperature, plummeting rapidly. After passing through the scorching magma layer and the hard obsidian rock layer, it then pierced through the newly set-up barrier like a punctured window and disappeared into the deep underground.

"As expected, this is no ordinary person..."

Uchiha Tokumitsu sighed slightly, feeling somewhat regretful.

Although they failed to keep the black and white Zetsu, they at least obtained half of the white Zetsu Tobi's body, which was still a decent gain.

Chapter 385 Organizational Differences

"teacher……"

Uchiha Shisui approached Uchiha Tokumitsu with his head down and timidly greeted him.

"fine."

Uchiha Tokumitsu ruffled his disciple's hair, offering a small word of comfort.

Although this battle was sudden and quite intense, fortunately the losses were not too great.

The two special operations teams lost five or six men, but the gain was half of a special White Zetsu that Uchiha Tokumitsu had eaten by Kouko-sama. Overall, it was a small profit.

After all, if capturing an ordinary White Zetsu back then could yield so many wonderful uses, there's no reason why a high-level White Zetsu who can only use powerful Wood Release ninjutsu couldn't extract enough benefits.

However, the impact of this matter is by no means limited to the simple matter of mobilizing a large number of troops.

Upon receiving the distress signal, the various Konoha ninja teams that rushed to the scene, or the Jonin squads that happened to be nearby and came to reinforce, whispered among themselves, each with their own opinion.

Some of the Jonin leading the teams secretly collected some Wood Release fragments, but Uchiha Tokumitsu pretended not to see them.

Under the guidance of the Uzumaki ninja, the shogunate's direct forces began collecting the Wood Release forest artifacts and sealing them away one by one.

Anyway, even the village has been researching Wood Release for so long without finding a definitive answer, and the Uzumaki Research Institute, funded by Uchiha Tokumitsu, hasn't been able to figure it out either. So Uchiha Tokumitsu didn't want to make things unpleasant for everyone over such trivial matters.

Moreover, even if they could glean some profound secrets from it, so what? In the face of the armored Susanoo, as long as it wasn't a reincarnation of Indra or Ashura at their peak, Uchiha Tokumitsu wouldn't take it seriously.

Therefore, Uchiha Tokumitsu had no intention of hiding it, as the impact of this battle was impossible to conceal. The various Konoha ninja clans who needed to know should already know; the other two major ninja villages, Iwagakure and Kumogakure, would receive the information within a day at most.

After all, Wood Release has reappeared in the ninja world!

"General Deguang!"

Tsunade, her face dark with anger, arrived at the scene of the battle. After nodding to Uchiha Tokumitsu, she began to examine the remaining traces of the battlefield, her expression growing increasingly grim.

Meanwhile, Orochimaru, who had rushed over excitedly, ignored the stares of others and used various instruments to conduct tests. He also kept taking out various bottles and jars from the sealing scroll to collect remnants of Wood Release.

Upon seeing this, the Konoha Jonin, who had been discreetly picking up scraps, stopped hiding and began to use their various skills to help "clean up the battlefield."

"...Excuse me, what's going on?"

After Tsunade confirmed that it was a remnant of Wood Release, she went to Uchiha Tokumitsu's side and asked him.

"A white, humanoid creature capable of using Wood Release."

"Uchiha Tokumitsu said."
