"What kind of monster is this?"
The two remaining Root ninja looked at the scene before them in disbelief.
An unprecedented green chakra surged from Shisui Uchiha's body, manifesting into a solid armor giant composed entirely of pure chakra.
The chakra giant resembled a traditional samurai. Beneath a hideous monster mask, two piercing eyes scanned the entire battlefield.
The giant's chest was wide open, revealing a red tomoe within; the green arrows of light from before had likely been fired from this core.
Enveloped by this massive chakra and shielded by the samurai giant, Shisui Uchiha stood his ground, gasping for air.
Although my chakra is limited, it should be enough to finish these two!
However, the two Root ninja were not about to sit and wait for death. They locked eyes and decisively began weaving hand signs.
"No matter what you are, you won't stop Lord Danzo's progress!"
"Water Style: Wild Water Wave!"
"Lightning Style: Lightning Streak!"
A thick pillar of water slammed toward Shisui like a giant python.
Simultaneously, the other Root ninja pressed his palms to the ground. Brilliant bolts of electricity crackled across the earth before coiling around the water pillar to join the assault.
Due to the somewhat cumbersome size of the Susanoo, Shisui could not dodge the attack and was forced to endure it.
Faced with the onslaught, Shisui clumsily manipulated his guardian Susanoo to raise its arm. He used the armor on the giant's forearm to intercept the incoming strike.
The massive water pillar, crackling with brilliant lightning, spiraled forward and slammed heavily into the green giant's arm guard.
To the despair of the two Root elites, their combined full-power attack failed to inflict even a scratch on the green giant Shisui had summoned.
The moment the massive hydraulic impact and lightning struck the armor, they were shattered and crushed by its sheer physical power!
Sensing the terrifying strength of the Susanoo, Shisui pushed his visual prowess once more.
The eyes of the green giant, which had just pulverized the enemy's offense, erupted with brilliant light. Under Shisui's control, the Susanoo condensed a long, spiraling lance in its hand over the base armor!
The shadow of death firmly gripped the two Root ninja.
In the next second, the spiraling lance thrust forward violently.
With a thunderous crash, the ground in front of them was blasted into a massive ravine, and the two Root ninja perished within it.
After completing the strike, Shisui did not hesitate to immediately deactivate the Susanoo.
While the technique was incredibly powerful, the drain was far too great for the heavily injured Shisui to use as a standard tactic.
Clutching his broken ribs, he began running toward the Uchiha Clan district step by step.
The priority now is to find Itachi!
Unfortunately, just as he prepared to leave, several tree roots suddenly shot out from the forest.
"Wood Style: Smothering Binding Technique!"
The sudden attack startled Shisui. The branches darted toward him like venomous snakes, clearly intending to bind him.
Shisui reacted almost instantly, weaving signs and exhaling a burst of fire that incinerated the incoming branches.
He then sharpened his focus, standing ready as he faced the direction of the attack.
He realized one thing clearly.
The attack just now was Wood Style!
"I told you, this low-level Wood Style is useless..."
A lazy voice rang out from the forest, and two figures stepped out.
"Yes, yes. The point is, I haven't learned those large-scale Wood Style jutsu yet, right?"
Jia threw up his hands helplessly. It wasn't that he didn't want to use powerful Wood Style, he just hadn't mastered them yet.
Hearing their conversation, Shisui's heart sank to rock bottom.
When did Root get two ninja capable of using Wood Style?
This was the Kekkei Genkai used by the First Hokage, the legendary God of Shinobi!
Although Simu lacked the ability to read hearts, he could guess Shisui's thoughts from his expression.
It was likely more amazement at the power of Wood Style; Simu was already tired of hearing it.
Before Simu could speak, Shisui threw several kunai, determined not to be delayed by them.
"Wood Style: Wood Locking Wall!"
Jia took the lead, weaving hand signs.
Wooden beams locked together in front of the pair to form a wooden shield, easily deflecting the incoming kunai.
However, the paper bombs attached to the kunai detonated instantly. While a few paper bombs weren't enough to break the Wood Locking Wall, the resulting thick smoke caused a significant distraction.
Seeing this, Simu didn't hesitate to clap his hands together. He didn't even bother calling out a move name, simply exhaling a massive gust of air from his mouth to sweep away the smoke.
The fleeing Shisui was immediately exposed again.
This guy's jutsu casting speed is too fast...
Realizing the smoke couldn't block their vision, Shisui stopped trying to hide and used the Afterimage Body Flicker again.
In an instant, over a dozen identical Shisuis rushed toward the forest together.
There are only two of them. It's impossible for them to stop this many figures at once!
That was Shisui's thought.
Jia across from him thought the same thing, but when he saw Simu beside him join his hands in a prayer-like gesture, he silently buried that thought.
Sure enough, a powerful chakra radiated from beneath Simu's feet. In the next second, a wall fifty to sixty meters high and nearly a hundred meters long rose with a roar, completely sealing off all of Shisui's escape routes!
Looking at the towering wall and then at the charred wood in front of him, Jia sighed inwardly.
Shisui showed an equally incredulous expression at the sight of the massive wall.
His afterimage clones had just approached the wooden barrier when they were easily popped like bubbles by spears protruding from the wall.
I can't get past...
That was Shisui's judgment.
If he tried to leap over the wall, he would have to take to the air.
In that case, the time between his jump and landing would turn him into a sitting duck for enemy attacks.
Circling around either side would take too much time...
Therefore, only one option remained.
He had to break through this wall from the front!
He forced his Sharingan into action once more, and green chakra erupted!
