Chapter 148 Wood Release Reappears in the Shinobi World
Enraged, the Fourth Raikage, A, stood amidst a jumble of objects, his eyes blazing with fury and murderous intent as he stared intently at Hyuga Kanan before him. At the same time, his chakra surged like a raging ocean, his body crackling with dazzling blue electricity.
These electric currents, like ferocious electric snakes, coiled tightly around Ai's body, constantly emitting a chilling crackling sound. Clearly, facing this enemy with the white eyes before him, Ai dared not be the slightest bit careless; he was prepared to go all out, to make his opponent feel unprecedented fear and despair.
Meanwhile, the Cloud Village ninjas around them sprang into action, their figures darting about like ghosts, quickly forming a tight encirclement. Each gripped their ninja sword tightly, their expressions solemn, ready to fight, giving Hyuga Kanan no chance to escape.
However, despite the tense situation, Hyuga Kanan took no action to stop the Kumogakure ninjas. His gaze remained fixed on the raging lightning power of Raikage A, as if observing and contemplating something…
This was the first time in his life he had witnessed someone so easily control the lightning attribute, which was filled with restlessness and destruction! It should be known that for cultivators, when they reach a certain level, they must face numerous obstacles from the will of the world. And one of the most common forms of obstacle is the tribulation of lightning.
Although the lightning element currently contained within the opponent is still weak, as long as the lightning can be continuously circulated within their body, their physique will undergo unimaginable enhancement. Over time, this enhancement will become increasingly significant, ultimately granting them an extraordinary physique and earth-shattering strength.
The fact that his opponent could so easily channel the power of lightning around him undoubtedly demonstrated his extremely strong physique and extraordinary physical defense. It should be known that the power of lightning has been renowned since ancient times for its incredibly violent and aggressive nature. If this person could control this power, the attacks he unleashed would surely be as fierce and devastating as thunderclaps from the heavens! Engaging in close combat with such an opponent would likely be quite troublesome.
However, this is also a good opportunity to test my understanding of the power of the wood element and see if I can break through the barrier surrounding me. Thinking this, I decided to put it to the test. After all, only through actual combat can I hone my skills and improve my proficiency.
Seeing Hyuga Kanan's nonchalant expression, A's anger burned even brighter, as if it would set the entire world ablaze. He couldn't tolerate such contemptuous treatment of him, the Raikage of Kumogakure! "Damn Hyuga clan ninja of Konoha, how dare you look down on the ninjas of Kumogakure! Today I'll show you what's what, and let you witness the true strength of Kumogakure! I'll break every bone in your body."
Enraged, Ai roared these words, his muscles tensing like a bowstring, followed by a deafening roar. With that roar, he shot out like lightning, charging straight towards Hinata Kanan.
At this moment, Ai's speed was more than twice as fast as before, possibly even exceeding human limits. His body crackled with dazzling lightning, the intense friction against the air producing sharp, deafening roars. The short distance of a dozen meters was covered in the blink of an eye, and he was instantly beside Hyuga Kanan.
Ai clenched his right fist and quickly extended it into a palm blade shape. A dense layer of constantly jumping blue electricity formed an indestructible and sharp blade, which fiercely slashed down towards Ri Xiangjianan's chest with an incomparably fierce aura!
Faced with such a fierce and relentless attack, Hyuga Kanan showed no fear whatsoever. He calmly extended his left palm, a faint green light emanating from it, ready to meet Ai's attack. In an instant, the two collided, producing a muffled thud and a powerful shockwave that spread outwards.
With a deafening roar, the shop's lobby seemed to have been hit by a violent explosion, instantly engulfed by the powerful shockwave. The once magnificent and luxurious decor crumbled under the force of the impact, shattering into countless fragments scattered across the floor. Simultaneously, tiny cracks began to appear in the ground, as if it could no longer withstand the immense pressure.
The impact caused Hyuga Kanan and A to involuntarily stagger back a few steps. They struggled to regain their footing, trying to absorb the force of the terrifying collision. Once they regained their balance, A, ignoring the throbbing pain in his hands, immediately focused his mind and once again mobilized his lightning chakra. With his control, the electricity around him surged even more violently, like a ferocious beast baring its fangs and claws, preparing to launch a new attack on Hyuga Kanan.
Meanwhile, Hyuga Kanan secretly pondered: that attack was merely a test of his opponent's lightning-style power. As it turned out, when his opponent channeled his lightning-style chakra throughout his body and unleashed such a powerful aura, his speed, strength, and defense far surpassed the level of a normal ninja. While his speed and attack power still couldn't compare to that of Konoha's Sakumo Hatake, who once dominated the ninja world, his defense was several times stronger.
Watching Raikage transform into a bolt of lightning and strike again, Hyuga Kanan thought to himself, "This guy's lightning chakra mode is indeed powerful, but I don't want to fight him in close combat again." With that, he lightly stomped his foot on the ground, and his figure floated backward like a ghost, easily avoiding Raikage A's fierce attack.
Giving his opponent no chance to breathe, Hyuga Kanan swiftly clasped his hands together, his surging energy flowing continuously into the earth. In an instant, the plant roots buried deep in the soil seemed to be summoned by some mysterious force, stirring restlessly. Then, a powerful force of wood elemental law suddenly erupted!
It imitates Hashirama Senju's Wood Release ninjutsu.
"Wood Release: Advent of a World of Trees!" With a low shout from Hyuga Kanan, the once solid ground instantly cracked open, and countless enormous trees sprouted from the earth like bamboo shoots after a spring rain. These trees grew wildly at an astonishing rate, instantly covering the entire floor of the shop's hall. The dense branches and leaves formed a vast, inescapable net, sweeping towards the Raikage who was about to launch another attack.
Faced with this sudden turn of events, Lei Ying was clearly caught off guard. Before he could react, he was swallowed up by the surging sea of trees and disappeared into the vast forest.
Suddenly, a fierce wind swept through the previously peaceful surroundings, howling incessantly. Then, a vast, blotting-out sea of trees descended from the sky, seemingly threatening to swallow the entire world! The unsuspecting Cloud Ninja were instantly frozen in terror, even their attempts to dodge faltering. In the blink of an eye, they were tightly bound by countless thick branches, utterly unable to move.
However, this eerie sea of trees did not stop there; it continued to spread and expand relentlessly, seemingly without end. Wherever it passed, buildings and streets were mercilessly destroyed. The scene was utterly horrific!
Finally, the sea of trees came to a stop when it touched a barrier that emitted a faint glow. At this moment, the entire barrier was filled with dense forest, and the once intact shop was torn apart and unrecognizable in this frenzied growth.
Meanwhile, the people on the street were stunned by the sudden loud noise and the spectacular sight. After regaining their senses, they fled in panic, trying to escape the danger. Meanwhile, spies from other ninja villages hidden throughout the Land of Iron witnessed this awe-inspiring scene. Realizing the gravity of the situation, they immediately set off for their respective intelligence relay points, tirelessly sending news of the "reappearance of Wood Release ninjutsu in the ninja world" back to their villages. They knew this intelligence was of paramount importance and that every second counted so their villages could prepare a timely response.
Suddenly, a deafening roar erupted from the place that had been engulfing the lightning, as if the entire world was about to tremble! Immediately afterward, accompanied by a series of heart-stopping cracking sounds, the thick trees fell one after another, shattering into countless wood chips that flew everywhere.
"Boom!" After another loud bang, the Raikage's tall and imposing figure reappeared before Hyuga Kanan. The Raikage, A, looked quite disheveled; his clothes were tattered and torn everywhere. Surprisingly, however, his body showed no obvious signs of injury. However, judging from his rapid and heavy breathing, he must have paid a heavy price to have managed to break through the dense forest of trees.
Meanwhile, the other ninjas from Kumogakure (Hidden Cloud Village) struggled to emerge from the terrifying sea of trees, arriving not far behind the Raikage, A. Each of them stared intently at Hyuga Kanan with tense expressions and a hint of fear in their eyes. Clearly, the reappearance of Wood Release, a powerful ninjutsu that had long been lost, had undoubtedly caused them immense shock and panic. Despite their inner turmoil, these Kumogakure ninjas, with their unwavering will and excellent professionalism, stood firmly behind the Raikage, ready to face any potential danger.
