No Wonder You Wear a Mask-You're So Ugly!
"Indra?"
Hyuga Makoto's voice wasn't loud, but it still penetrated the entire Forest.
Outside the Forest, the Root's scout ninjas looked somewhat numb.
Looking at the Forest before them, and witnessing the clash between the two Chakra giants within Forest, they suddenly realized something!
"Uchiha Itachi is here, and the person he fought possesses equal power, and there are others here as well."
Wood Release!
This belongs to Konoha, the Wood Release that can quell chaos in the world!
And this guy even used the Wood Dragon Technique?
Who exactly are these people?
The two Root ninjas were terrified, but neither dared to leave for the time being.
They decided to use Summoning Technique to transmit information, and at the same time, they needed to investigate further!
Indra...
Meanwhile, Black Zetsu, led by White Zetsu, had already arrived.
The moment he appeared, he heard the name, and he immediately knew that he had guessed part of it again!
That evil Otsutsuki...
It seems these two really did have this idea; it's hard to say they actually wanted to collect the Tailed Beast!
"Moreover, even if this Wood Release isn't as good as Senju Hashirama's, it's far superior to Obito's..."
Black Zetsu was somewhat apprehensive; he didn't even need to think to know that this person was "Asura".
However, he always felt that the two people's tone of voice seemed reversed?
Uchiha Itachi's expression was also not good at this moment, but he still instinctively memorized the name.
He then glanced at Juzo Biwa, his new companion...
They seem to have been beaten quite badly!
Not only was he covered in blood, but his Chakra also seemed to be almost completely depleted.
He just remembered that the intensity of the battle on Juzo Biwa's side wasn't particularly high.
"These Wood Release can absorb Chakra?"
Uchiha Itachi was analyzing the situation inwardly when Shisui spoke up.
"I'm just a little curious and want to know what this guy is thinking, Asura..."
"There's no point in understanding this boring guy."
Hyuga Makoto Shisui nodded in satisfaction at Shisui's cooperation.
He was especially pleased to sense that there were other people nearby, particularly the presence of White Zetsu.
Since we're going to persecute him, let's persecute him to the end. We won't stop until we scare Black Zetsu to death!
Moreover, he couldn't find an opportunity to provoke Obito, so that Konoha could have a chance to advance.
"If I can lure Obito over here, I'll find a chance to smash his mask..."
Then many things become simpler!
"So, the funds I received for the operation in Konoha weren't for nothing..."
His only regret right now is that he can't see Obito's movements; his Byakugan is still too overpowered...
Who exactly are you people?
Just then, Uchiha Itachi suddenly asked in a low voice.
"And what is your purpose?"
"A dying man, yet he still has so many questions?"
Shisui snorted coldly, while Hyuga Makoto seemed quite relaxed.
"It doesn't matter. He can still make some contributions and leave no regrets before he dies. Do you understand what I mean?"
"Our organization is called Akatsuki"...
Uchiha Itachi understood Hyuga Makoto's meaning; he was planning to buy time and find a way to retreat.
"As for the purpose, I cannot disclose it, for I know very little about it myself."
"I see..."
Hyuga Makoto smiled slightly before speaking.
"Since that's the case, all I can tell you is that our organization is called Nuclear," and beyond that...

The Wood Dragon roared, and the entire Forest trembled slightly.
The next instant, the Wood Dragon swept wildly towards Uchiha Itachi, Hyuga Makoto's voice fell at that moment.
"Well then, goodbye."
This calm voice remained remarkably clear even amidst the Wood Dragon's roar.
As Uchiha Itachi sensed the power emanating from the Wood Dragon, he realized just how dire his situation truly was.
"We have no choice but to give it our all..."
Although his whole body was in pain, and his eyes were also starting to hurt.
If he does nothing, he's definitely dead now!
Without the slightest hesitation, Uchiha Itachi frantically poured his eye power into Susanoo.
In just a moment, his Susanoo also let out a roar!
The second stage of Susanoo was now growing larger, and armor and the mask of the Crow Tengu were covering his body.
At this point Susanoo was already as big as a small mountain, and even though it looked much shorter than the Wood Dragon.
Yet its imposing presence seemed in no way inferior to that of the Wood Dragon!
"The third phase was really intense..."
Upon Hyuga Makoto this, Hyuga Makoto raised an eyebrow. It seemed that the limit of a normal Mangekyo Susanoo was the third stage.
In his memory, apart from Uchiha Madara, everyone else's eyes couldn't withstand the strain once they arrived here.
"This guy, I'm not going to break him before Shippuden, am I?"
Hyuga Makoto felt something was off, but despite this thought, he still unleashed a powerful punch at Uchiha Itachi!
The Wood Dragon roared and charged towards Susanoo, but Uchiha Itachi immediately controlled Susanoo to defend.
His Susanoo no weapons, so he could only take the hits head-on!
boom-
The two enormous monsters collided, and the earth shook violently in an instant.
Under the impact of these two monsters, large cracks resembling a spider web instantly appeared on the earth.
It then shattered violently, sending countless pieces of rock flying into the air, and the massive shockwave caused many trees in the surrounding area to fall!
At the heart of the battle, the red Susanoo was desperately holding back the enormous Wood Dragon, his arms and body riddled with holes.
Uchiha Itachi, standing inside Susanoo, coughed up blood, clearly indicating that this had a huge impact on him!
But he still kept his head up, his gaze fixed on the figure standing on the Wood Dragon.
I don't know whether to say you're incredibly hardworking or just plain stupid.
Hyuga Makoto remained calm, and even with a mask on, one could almost hear the amusement in his words.
"Wood Release can absorb Chakra to strengthen itself. Are you using Susanoo block me to help me?"
Uchiha Itachi didn't speak, but Hyuga Makoto's next words made him freeze!
"You think I can't sense the energy gathering in your eyes? Let me guess, is it the Amaterasu Flame?"
"?!"
"Your little trick is no secret to me, after all, I've seen it all before."
66
Uchiha Itachi was speechless. He couldn't understand how this person knew his secret.
"As expected, they knew everything..."
Hearing all this, Black Zetsu's expression became even more pained.
Does this once again demonstrate that the evil Otsutsuki craves his mother's power?
"Why hasn't Obito arrived yet? He needs to come quickly..."
Black Zetsu roared inwardly, for Uchiha Itachi had no other choice.
"Amaterasu!"
He immediately released the energy in his eyes, and in an instant, the pitch-black flames covered the Wood Dragon and even Hyuga Makoto!
The pitch-black flames continued to spread and burn, quickly igniting the surrounding trees as well!
Moreover, the flames continued to expand, as if they were about to devour everything!
"What a boring trick."
However, standing at the center of the flames Hyuga Makoto gently shook his head, and his body slowly began to change.
"This is...
This scene startled Uchiha Itachi for a moment, and then his expression changed.
"Wood Clone? When?"
"You don't really think I'd stand atop the Wood Dragon and clash with your Susanoo, do you?"
Hyuga Makoto's calm voice rang out from the other side; he had been standing with Shisui for some time now.
"You were indeed staring at me, but your eyes clearly couldn't distinguish the Wood Clone..."
Not just you, even Uchiha Madara might not be able to easily tell you apart.
"Your eyes are quite nice, but..."
As he spoke, Hyuga Makoto Hyuga Makoto a hand seal, and the vines Amaterasu flames swept wildly towards Uchiha Itachi!
At that moment, the enormous, ever-burning Wood Dragon opened its mouth, and a surge of Chakra began to gather.
"This is...
Uchiha Itachi was completely unable to move, his eyes filled with horror as he watched the Chakra continuously gathering.
Meanwhile, Black Zetsu's face also paled slightly; he felt like he'd seen this thing before.
"Wait, this is..."
Such Chakra rotation, this precisely condensed concoction of Yin Release and Yang Release in an 8:2 ratio...
Isn't that just Tailed Beast Bomb?!
But when did Wood Release become usable like this?
"Perhaps it's the Rasengan, after all, Minato Namikaze came up with something similar, but..."
The fact that it could be replicated so accurately seems to prove once again that the evil Otsutsuki man Otsutsuki really cares about the Tailed Beast!
"It seems that doing this in a real combat environment would be quite difficult..."
Hyuga Makoto had no idea what Black Zetsu was thinking; he was focused on controlling his Wood Dragon Tailed Beast Ball!
After obtaining and studying the information on Senju Hashirama's Wood Release, he began to figure out how to create his own Rasengan.
His original fighting style was clearly not suitable, but the Clone were a different story!
And he also has some clever ideas of his own, after all...
"The Rasengan is derived from the Tailed Beast Bomb. I know the proportions of Chakra synthesis in the Tailed Beast Bomb, and I've also seen Naruto's training, so..."
Why doesn't he combine the two to create Rasengan that's truly similar to Tailed Beast Bomb?
He actually knew that Naruto's Wind Release: Rasengan had been successful.
But he didn't have Wind Release, nor did he intend to use it on himself.
Wood Dragon was originally constructed from his Chakra, and his Clone also possess superhuman Chakra control.
Furthermore, the infusion of Yin Release and Yang Release makes the Rasengan even more stable!
The only downside is that once it's launched, both speed and accuracy are problematic, but...
Looking at Uchiha Itachi, who was entangled in vines, and the Wood Dragon that was almost touching Susanoo.
So.
"Wood Release: Rasengan Tailed Beast Bomb!"
Hyuga Makoto casually called out a name, and the next moment, the almost black Chakra Ball roared towards Uchiha Itachi!
In that instant, Uchiha Itachi's face turned pale, Juzo Biwa, who was half-dead beside him, also silently closed his eyes.
But at that moment, Hyuga Makoto's eyes suddenly lit up; he immediately realized something!
At that moment, a ripple suddenly appeared in the space, and a head quietly peeked out from within...
"The members of that Mysterious Organization have appeared, and they even possess Wood Release and the Mangekyo?"
Not long ago, in Kirigakure, Obito couldn't sit still after receiving this information.
Although he disagreed with Black Zetsu, he understood just how terrifying the emergence of these two powers was!
"What exactly is this organization, and what do they want to do?"
Obito frowned deeply, especially after learning that the two seemed to be planning to kill Uchiha Itachi's eyes; he couldn't sit still any longer.
That lunatic Uchiha Itachi, I paid the price of my life to bring him out of Konoha.
If we get killed now, wouldn't that be a huge loss?!
Without a second thought, he immediately took the messenger White Zetsu into the Kamui Might and flew swiftly in the indicated direction!
How's the battle going over there?
As they traveled, Obito couldn't help but ask.
"Although those two powers are very strong, Uchiha Itachi and Juzo Biwa should be able to hold out for a while, right?"
"I don't know, I'm not really familiar with what's going on outside once I'm inside."
White Zetsu blinked and shook his head with a grin.
"But Obito, you guessed wrong. They really didn't last long; they're almost done for."
"?"
Obito was somewhat stunned. He was already done for?
"That guy who can use Hollow Sasuke seems immune to backlash, and he's incredibly strong and faster than Itachi."
White Zetsu, aware of Obito's doubts, smiled and offered an explanation.
"As for those who use Wood Release, they're even more powerful. Juzo Biwa couldn't withstand it at all. Before we set off, he even used Wood Dragon to attack Itachi."
"Damn it----"
Obito cursed under his breath. "He's even using the Wood Dragon? Just who is this guy?"
Obito was very anxious, but White Zetsu remained unchanged.
"Obito, you can also use Wood Release, how come you're so much worse than that guy?"
"Shut up----"
"His starting move was ' Deep Forest Emergence,' while all you can do is use wood to impale people."
"I told you to shut up—"
"If you had his Wood Release level, you probably wouldn't be afraid of Hyuga Makoto."
Obito fell silent, but his gaze subtly shifted.
He was considering whether he should strangle this damn thing right now.
He took a deep breath and suppressed his anger.
He needs to focus his energy on the rescue; he doesn't have time to argue with this idiot!
"We've arrived. This is where Uchiha Itachi is."
Fortunately, White Zetsu finally uttered a single human word, and he immediately stopped, then opened the Kamui Space.
"Um?"
However, the moment he poked his head out, he suddenly saw a huge Uzumaki Chakra Ball hurtling towards him!
"Tailed Beast Bomb? What the hell is going on?!"
Obito's face darkened; he truly hadn't expected to encounter such a situation!
Seeing that Uchiha Itachi was completely unable to withstand the pressure, and Juzo Biwa closing his eyes and waiting to die, he could only grit his teeth and absorb the two of them!
boom-
An extremely intense burst of energy erupted, instantly turning the world a blinding white!
Immediately afterwards, the earth began to shake and crack, and shockwaves, seemingly visible to the naked eye, swept wildly in all directions.
A mushroom cloud shot into the sky from the center of the explosion, and the black flames of Amaterasu scattered everywhere!
Amidst the smoke and dust, Uchiha Itachi and Juzo Biwa had vanished, leaving only Obito's figure.
Obito, however, looked extremely disheveled. He was panting heavily, and his clothes were torn to shreds.
His body was covered in burn marks, and more importantly...
In the instant he was saving the person, a vine suddenly attacked and struck him hard in the face!
At that time, he really couldn't react at all.
"No wonder you wore a mask, it turns out..."
Just then, a strong gust of wind blew away the smoke and dust, and Hyuga Makoto's voice quietly rang out.
"You're so ugly..."
