The enormous wooden figure formed inside Susanoo, quickly elevating the seventy to eighty meters high Susanoo by another thirty meters, transforming into the Mighty Woodman Jutsu.
Now, the Eight-tailed, Four-tailed, and Five-tailed beasts were only half the height in front of Uchiha Yoichi.
"This, is this Wood Release!?"
Among those present, except Orochimaru who had anticipated it, everyone else, including Hatake Sakumo and all the Hidden Cloud Ninja and Hidden Rock Ninja, as well as the three Jinchuriki, were shocked upon witnessing this scene.
Especially the three Tailed Beasts, they suddenly remembered the powerlessness and anger when they were dominated by the Wood Release, that bastard captured them and sold them to these ninja, dooming them to an endless dark fate.
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
The Mighty Woodman moved towards the three Tailed Beasts with earth-shattering steps, causing terrifying tremors in the ground. The nearby ninjas couldn't remain standing.
"Lord Sakumo, seize the opportunity, this is a rare chance....."
After speaking, Orochimaru slithered swiftly to another battlefield like a snake.
The long-planned Hidden Cloud Ninja and Hidden Rock Ninja certainly wouldn't surrender and quit due to the sudden appearance of Wood Release.
"Earth Release: Earth Mausoleum Dumpling!"
"Earth Release: Earth Flow City Wall!"
The two Jutsu were used one after the other, with the former performed by Hidden Rock Ninja's Kitsuchi, and the latter by Orochimaru.
After the appearance of the three Tailed Beasts and the gigantic Mighty Woodman, the Hidden Cloud Ninja, Hidden Rock Ninja, and Konoha adjusted their battlefield, while Kitsuchi seized the chance to launch a surprise attack, aiming to deliver a heavy blow to the Konoha Ninja.
Yet unexpectedly, his Earth Release Ninjutsu was blocked by Orochimaru.
Orochimaru's raspy voice taunted, "Hehe, Mr. Kitsuchi, I didn't expect you Hidden Rock Ninja to play such a hand, but luckily we have Konoha Lightning Fang to foil your plan...."
"Orochimaru, the three Tailed Beasts are not easy to deal with, and as long as there's a slight delay, you'll definitely lose on the main battlefield! Earth Release: Earth Stone Dragon Jutsu!"
"Earth Release: Earth Dragon Bomb!"
The two once again used Earth Release Ninjutsu. Besides his self-researched Snake Style Ninjutsu, Orochimaru was best at Earth Release Ninjutsu, mastering every kind Sarutobi Hiruzen knew.
Though facing enemies, Snake Style Ninjutsu was usually more convenient; however, confronting Kitsuchi was different. His refined Earth Release Ninjutsu made Snake Style Ninjutsu seem powerless unless Manda was summoned!
Boom!
A figure filled with lightning broke through Orochimaru's Earth Flow City Wall, quickly charging at Orochimaru.
"Heavy Stream Fury!"
With potent Lightning Release Chakra gathered at the elbow, the force was enhanced at an incredible speed, and even if an iron plate stood in front, A was confident of penetrating it.
Shing!
A beam of white light appeared, the powerful cutting White Fang Short Blade slashed through the Lightning Release Chakra wrapped around the wrist, then struck the metal armor on A's wrist.
It wasn't Konoha White Fang's intention to strike away, but upon sensing the White Fang Short Blade, A twisted his wrist, making the metal armor collide with the White Fang Short Blade.
Clang!
A loud metallic impact sound rang out, both figures paused and then retreated using the recoil; upon landing, A examined the metal armor on his arm, crafted with tough ore and Chakra conductive metal from the Land of Lightning, yet it bore a shallow mark from the previous strike.
"Konoha White Fang...."
"They have no reinforcements, as long as we hold them, Konoha's ninja are doomed!"
Kitsuchi shouted loudly, then continued attacking Orochimaru.
They had nearly three thousand Hidden Cloud Army members, along with dozens of Hidden Rock Ninja elites capable of performing Joint Earth Release Ninjutsu. Now that Konoha's strong fighters were held up, even ten minutes delay would crush the Konoha camp and scatter them.
On the other side.
Uchiha Yoichi, along with the three Tailed Beast Jinchuriki of Hidden Rock Ninja and Hidden Cloud Ninja, gradually distanced themselves from the battlefield, while both sides' ninja intentionally avoided them, even the Hidden Rock Ninja and Hidden Cloud Ninja avoided their own Tailed Beast Jinchuriki.
Standing next to such a destructive presence, even if it tried to shield you, ordinary ninja would struggle to survive.
"Be cautious, whether it's Wood Release or Susanoo, they are both terribly tricky for us."
The Eight-tailed Gyuki warned. The three Tailed Beasts had suffered from Wood Release before, once entangled, Chakra would be quickly drained.
Fortunately, they were now Jinchuriki, better adapted for defense compared to their fully free state previously. When entangled by Wood Release, they could shrink back into Jinchuriki's body.
Thud!
Thud!
Thud!
The Mighty Woodman approached quickly, causing the ground to quiver, raising its long blade high and striking heavily at the Eight-tailed.
Gyuki's octopus tail abruptly lengthened, blocking in front like a soft shield, directly meeting the Mighty Woodman's slash.
Boom!
The Chakra Wooden Blade cut into Gyuki's octopus tail, though the tails were too soft and absorbed most of the force, only embedding halfway without severing the tails entirely.
However, the resultant air pressure from the slash sliced the ground behind Gyuki, creating a chasm over a thousand meters long.
"Tailed Beast Ball!"
Four-tailed Roshi quickly condensed a Tailed Beast Ball and hurled it towards Uchiha Yoichi.
But within the few seconds Four-tailed condensed the Tailed Beast Ball, Uchiha Yoichi immediately reacted, controlling the Mighty Woodman to catch the Tailed Beast Ball with its hands, while the Wood Release's Chakra-absorbing ability immediately bound the Tailed Beast's power to prevent it from exploding.
