Wood Style: Wood Golem Wall!
Mo Chen clapped his hands together, and rows of wooden pillars appeared before him, arching up from the ground to form a protective wall around him.
The more Chakra he had, the stronger the defensive power of the Wood Golem Wall.
Danzou's two guards were not enough to break through this defensive Ninjutsu.
Danzou's gaze sharpened. He had already lost enough face in this battle, and it had dragged on for too long. He had to capture Mo Chen quickly.
Bang bang bang bang bang!
However, just then, behind the previous Root members, there was a sudden sound of smoke.
Everyone was startled and immediately turned around to see a total of seven Shadow Clones of Mo Chen.
"This is... the Shadow Clones from the beginning!"
The faces of those Root members changed drastically.
When they launched their first surprise attack on Mo Chen, they had used four combined Ninjutsu.
Mo Chen's response at the time was to use seven Shadow Clones, along with his main body, to also use four combined Ninjutsu.
After that, Mo Chen's Shadow Clones had disappeared.
At the time, they thought Mo Chen had recalled the Shadow Clones after using his Ninjutsu.
This was the usual practice for Ninja when using Shadow Clones for combined attacks.
After all, their Chakra was limited, and using too many Shadow Clones was a drain.
But who would have thought that Mo Chen didn't fear Chakra consumption at all? He had kept all the Shadow Clones from before, merely using the Transformation Jutsu to turn into rocks on the ground, waiting for an opportunity.
At this moment, everyone's attention was focused on Mo Chen's main body. The sudden appearance of the Shadow Clones caught them completely off guard.
Wood Style: Wood Style Kill!
Each Shadow Clone was responsible for one Root member, all using single-target attacks.
Seven large trees emerged from the ground, instantly binding the Root members.
Then, the tree trunks wrapped around and squeezed, and in the next moment, they crushed these Root members into bloody mist.
In the blink of an eye, out of eight Root members, only one remained, and he was the one who had been hit by the combined Ninjutsu at the beginning and was injured.
"You're seeking death!!" Danzou was truly enraged now, exuding a dense killing aura.
He didn't particularly care about the deaths of his subordinates.
As long as the objective could be achieved, any sacrifice was acceptable.
But Mo Chen doing this was tantamount to slapping him in the face.
"Don't rush, there's still one left!" Mo Chen retracted the Wood Golem Wall, snapped his fingers, and pointed at the last Root member.
The seven Mo Chen Shadow Clones let out cold laughs and unanimously turned towards the remaining Root member.
That Root member was so scared he peed himself, falling to the ground and scrambling backward with his legs.
"Don't... don't kill me, don't kill me!"
Even though Root members were killing machines, they couldn't be completely cold-blooded and emotionless. They would still fear death.
Not to mention that seven of their companions had just exploded into bloody mist right beside them.
That kind of visual impact was not something anyone could easily endure.
Danzou's face turned as black as the bottom of a pot, his anger surging within him.
He was angry because of Mo Chen's arrogant attitude, and also because of the clownish behavior of his subordinates.
Danzou's two guards naturally wouldn't stand by and watch their master be humiliated. They immediately turned and charged towards Mo Chen's seven Shadow Clones.
"Senju Mo Chen, you will regret this!" Danzou ignored the situation behind him and said to Mo Chen with a cold face.
Mo Chen was slightly taken aback. Senju Mo Chen? When did he get the surname Senju?
However, Mo Chen didn't pay it much mind. He just assumed that Danzou, knowing he could use Wood Style, had subconsciously mistaken him for a descendant of the Senju.
But in Mo Chen's own understanding, he was a commoner with no surname.
The reason he could use Wood Style was through knowledge he fabricated in the future, and it had nothing to do with the Senju.
"Why should I regret it?"
Mo Chen let out a cold laugh. "You suddenly came out to attack me, and you're not even letting me fight back?"
"I don't care who you are, nor do I want to know why you attacked me! I'm not a magnanimous person. Since you made a move against me, you should have the resolve to be killed in return! And that includes you, old dog!"
Danzou said sternly, "Do you know who I am? Don't think you can disregard everyone just because you've mastered Wood Style. I..."
"Noisy!" Mo Chen raised his hand, and a wooden spear shot out from his palm. He grabbed it and flung it forcefully at Danzou.
Danzou quickly dodged, his anger growing even more uncontrollable.
This guy actually didn't even let him finish speaking, clearly not wanting him to reveal his identity.
This meant that even though Mo Chen didn't know his identity, he had some suspicions.
But as long as Danzou's identity wasn't revealed, Mo Chen could act without restraint.
Understanding Mo Chen's thoughts, Danzou stopped wasting words and directly lifted the bandage covering his right eye.
"Since you are so stubborn, don't blame me for turning you into a heartless puppet!"
His right eye was Uchiha Shisui's Kotoamatsukami, which he had kept unused until now.
Using it on Mo Chen was completely worth it!
Unfortunately, Mo Chen knew him inside and out. The moment Danzou lifted his right eye, Mo Chen already knew what he was planning.
Mo Chen immediately dodged, circling behind a large tree. He formed hand seals and slammed his palms down.
"Wood Style: Flower Tree Demonic Hell!"
At this moment, Danzou's two guards had already dealt with Mo Chen's seven Shadow Clones.
It was unavoidable; Shadow Clones disappeared upon being hit, making them difficult to defend against elite ninja like them.
However, it wasn't a complete loss. Before some of the Shadow Clones disappeared, they managed to take down the last Root member.
Just as the two guards were about to turn back to support Danzou, the entire surrounding forest seemed to come alive.
All the trees grew at an astonishing rate, as if they had been injected with hormones. The speed was several times faster than the previous Wood Release: Forest Creation.
Even with the strength of the three of them, Danzou couldn't cut down these massive trees in their haste.
As the trees grew larger, the space they stood on was compressed, forcing them to constantly dodge.
"Damn it, why does it feel like he knew what jutsu I was going to use and dodged in advance!"
Danzou felt a heavy weight in his heart. He had just revealed his Mangekyo Sharingan and hadn't even cast the jutsu on Mo Chen before the opponent had already dodged.
"No! Impossible! Shisui's Kotoamatsukami is in my hands. Only that person in this world knows about it, and there's no way he'd have any connection with Mo Chen."
"This Mo Chen guy just got lucky, happening to dodge precisely when I was about to use this move!"
Danzou quickly found a reasonable explanation for himself and relaxed.
Kotoamatsukami could not be exposed, not only because of its questionable origin, but also because it was his greatest trump card.
"Not good!"
Just then, the Aburame Clan guard suddenly shouted, "The pollen in the air is poisonous!"
Due to Mo Chen's Ninjutsu, all the trees had grown to enormous sizes, shrinking the ground space. As Danzou and his two guards dodged, they could only jump upwards, inadvertently diving headfirst into the golden pollen.
Flower Tree Demonic Hell was an enhanced version of Wood Release: Forest Creation. Besides growing numerous giant trees, a massive flower would bloom in the center.
The pollen released by this flower could paralyze the enemy's nerves, making movement difficult and causing them to slowly lose consciousness.
Danzou was certainly familiar with this technique, but it had been a long time. No one had mastered true Wood Style in decades, and the information on this Ninjutsu had long faded from his memory.
Moreover, his attention had been focused more on Kotoamatsukami earlier. It wasn't until the guard's reminder that he suddenly remembered this detail.
Unfortunately, it was too late.
Under Mo Chen's covert control, large swathes of yellow mist converged from all directions, trapping them.
Below, a multitude of giant trees continued their assault
