Chapter 166 Feather Cells
Chapter 166 Feather Cells
"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"
"A giant snake, it's from the Sound Ninja?!"
Exclamations of surprise echoed throughout the village of Takigakure.
In an instant, the seemingly idyllic village shattered its peaceful facade, and black-clad ninjas, shrouded in black robes and wearing masks, emerged from the houses and rushed toward the gate like rivers flowing into the sea.
From the sky, it looked as if a pitch-black river had appeared over Takigakure.
Under the relentless onslaught of numerous Root Ninja, the giant snake summoned by Yakushi Ryotsu was like a giant trapped in a quagmire. No matter how much it hissed and pounced, it could not escape the quagmire and instead sank deeper and deeper.
However, the giant snake is just a signal flare; stopping it renders it meaningless the moment it goes off. What's the point of stopping it?
"Crystal Release: Crystal-Breaking Dragon Subduing Technique!"
"Oooooooo-"
Accompanied by three long, drawn-out dragon roars, three giant dragons, their bodies made of sparkling diamonds that shimmered with vibrant colors under the sunlight, charged into the Root Ninja's ranks!
As if they had struck it lucky, dozens of Root Ninjas were unable to dodge in time and were instantly crushed into a pile of minced meat by the hard dragon, with limbs and fragments scattered all over the ground.
However, under Danzo's ruthless training, the remaining Root ninja remained indifferent even when they saw their comrades die. They even ignored their injured comrades beside the dragon and began forming hand seals.
"Earth Escape·Yellow Spring Marsh!"
"Lightning Release: Sixteen Pillars Binding Technique!"
Earth Release: Clay Drop from Heaven!
Earth Release: Heavenly Cover!
"Fire Release: Plain Burning Technique!"
One ninjutsu after another was quickly created by the Root members.
A vast swamp appeared first, and the heavy Crystal Dragon was instantly engulfed in it. Sixteen pillars flashing with lightning rose up immediately afterward, forming a net of lightning that bound the Crystal Dragon.
Then came the thick, sticky mud falling from the sky, followed by a huge lid that fell behind the mud, and flames filling it.
In the blink of an eye, the once arrogant Crystal Dragon was fired up like clay in a kiln.
After a period of time, the sticky soil that had been poured in was burned into blocks, and the Crystal Dragon was like an insect in amber, unable to move.
Feeling the stiff feedback from her hands, Guren lowered her hands, which were maintaining the jutsu, and raised an eyebrow in surprise: "There's such a combination ninjutsu? Impressive!"
"If I were still the same person I was three years ago, you guys would have really stopped me!"
"pity……"
Without any regard for martial ethics, Honglian leaped into the sky, creating four array points around herself that formed a rhombus. Surging chakra gushed out from her acupoints, and the powerful airflow made Honglian's hair stand on end.
With Kakashi's tearful chakra output, the diamond-shaped array around Guren connected with each other, eventually forming a deep blue light shield resembling an Ultra Timer, and a terrifying aura of destruction rapidly accumulated.
"Stop her!"
"Attack! Attack!"
Everyone knew that Guren was about to unleash the full power of the Root Ninja's Soul-Breaking Technique, and various attacking ninjutsu were frantically smashed towards the azure light barrier where Guren was located.
In an instant, a dazzling array of Five Elements ninjutsu—wind blowing, rocks falling, lightning striking, fire burning, and water flooding—were unleashed. Just from the diversity of the ninjutsu released by these Root ninjas, one could tell just how much Danzo had taken from Konoha over the years.
Even though these Root Ninjas unleashed so many offensive ninjutsu, the light barrier in front of Guren was like the Wailing Wall of Saint Seiya, unmoved no matter how strong you are.
Even under the attack of the Root Ninja, the brightness of the light barrier in front of Crimson Lotus increased even faster!
Seeing this, Gu Lian, who was in the center of the light barrier, curled up a sadistic smile: "A bunch of fools. This is a new technique that Qian Yu has incorporated into the Tsuchigudo's ability to absorb chakra. Only special escape techniques can use it."
"Forget it, you've all been brainwashed into idiots by Danzo, why should I bother talking to idiots?"
"Hmm, I don't think it's necessary, but since it's Chiyu's request, let's do as she says!"
As she murmured, a crystal wand quietly appeared between Honglian's five fingers.
She pointed her wand forward, and six dazzling and intricate magic circles appeared out of thin air, spinning rapidly in front of the tip of the wand, in front of the azure light barrier.
Through the gaps in the rotating magic circle, Guren looked at the Root Ninja on the ground. A chilling chant came from her alluring red lips: "Cannon deployment complete! Light particle furnace ignition complete! Chakra compression rate surpasses critical point! Target locked between West 12 and East 14, capture complete, capture complete!"
"And most importantly, and only necessary, the Phoenix Emperor Flame, fill it in!"
A surge of new chakra flowed from Honglian's lower abdomen and entered the light shield.
Chiyu's chakra aura quietly merged with Crimson Lotus.
next second.
"Disappear along with this world-destroying light, you Root scum!"
The projected decorative magic circle suddenly collapsed into a tiny point of light, and the intense light illuminated the surroundings, as if a miniature sun had risen here.
Then came a deafening roar that pierced the heavens and the earth.
A ten-meter-diameter beam of blazing white light, carrying golden-red pulse waves in the shape of a phoenix, ionized the air wherever it passed, creating countless purple arcs of electricity. The Root Ninja, who had no time to form hand seals, were swallowed up by the light tide while still looking horrified. Their flesh and bones were decomposed into a pile of black ash in the absolute light and heat.
The ground was as if it had been plowed by a god; the newly built buildings vaporized the moment they came into contact with the light stream, revealing the lava-like foundation beneath.
In an instant, half of Takigakure was destroyed!
But after unleashing such a blow, Honglian rolled her eyes and fell asleep immediately.
Reluctantly, Yakushi Ryo stepped forward and caught the red lotus in mid-air.
Meanwhile, underground in Takigakure, Chiba, who was silently walking forward, stopped: "So you're already using what I gave you? Guren is too impatient, isn't she?"
"What's wrong? Did something happen to Guren and the others?" Sasuke asked when he saw Chiyu stop.
"They're fine, but it seems the planned containment mission won't be completed... uh, won't be completed?"
Qian Yu was startled.
After all, who says that eliminating all the enemies responsible for containment doesn't constitute containment?
"Alright, they completed the mission, though they were a bit reckless!" Qianyu shook her head helplessly. "Speaking of which, Sasuke, Guren's strength is really impressive now after I strengthened her. Why don't you get some too?"
“Damn it!” Sasuke shook his head decisively.
He knew what Chiyu meant by "enhancement"—injecting highly refined cells mixed with Sage Chakra into his body.
Hashirama cells are powerful but uncontrollable. Chiba's cells cannot yet reach the extreme vitality of Hashirama cells, but she has the advantage of considerable strength and the presence of Amenominaka, so she will not lose control. It can be said to be a perfect enhancement.
Even if an injection were to be performed, it would be him injecting it into Qianyu, not Qianyu injecting her own cells into him.
Although the hope was slim, Sasuke still harbored a heart that surpassed even that of a thousand feathers.
After the brief incident, the two remained silent and continued on their way.
And quickly, he pushed open a heavy door.
A dimly lit, spacious underground space appeared before the two of them.
