Fall

When gods fought, it was the little people who suffered.

When Geng Hua forced out the Wood Release: True Several Thousand Hands with a head of white hair, everyone—including Naruto—was left stunned.

With the battle escalating to this level, no conventional weapons were of any use. Both sides tacitly left the battlefield to the two of them.

The earth collapsed, mountains split apart, and the violent energy fluctuations never ceased. The altered terrain stretched for nearly a hundred li; even Shiraishi Yoshijo, far overseas, sensed it.

At the critical moment, he had no choice but to step in personally and save Geng Hua.

There was no helping it. The gap in strength between Geng Hua and Naruto was still rather large. At the very least, Naruto utterly surpassed Geng Hua in Chakra reserves. Geng Hua had only been able to use a Wood Release Ninjutsu on the level of True Several Thousand Hands because Shiraishi Yoshijo had spent years infusing him with life force.

Naruto was not doing well either. To deal with True Several Thousand Hands, he had frantically fired Tailed Beast Balls, exhausting himself to the extreme. He was now lying on the ground, gasping for breath.

The instant Shiraishi Yoshijo appeared, Naruto gritted his teeth and forced himself to his feet.

At the same time, Kakashi led a group of Konoha ninja forward.

Shiraishi Yoshijo's sons also appeared one after another with the Anbu.

Shiraishi Yoshijo glanced at Naruto and the people behind him but said nothing. He picked up Geng Hua and began infusing him with life force. After a while, Geng Hua's complexion gradually improved, while his hair turned from black to white.

Once Geng Hua awoke, Shiraishi Yoshijo patted him on the shoulder with a gratified expression. "Well done. You truly are my son!"
