"Wood Release?" Dodai wore a thoughtful expression as well. He looked at Hiruko, who was recovering his Chakra, but did not dare enter that forest.
At the beginning, the Cloud Shinobi, who knew little about Wood Release, had tried to force their way into the forest to deal with Hiruko. In the end, they had all been caught by the Wood Release instead, replenishing Hiruko's Chakra.
Back then, Hiruko had unleashed more than a dozen Wood Release: Deep Forest Emergence in succession. With the generous support of the Cloud Shinobi, his Chakra had become nearly inexhaustible, and he had beaten the entire Cloud Shinobi force into disarray. If Dodai had not analyzed and discovered Wood Release's ability to absorb Chakra, Hiruko alone might have crushed the entire Cloud Shinobi force in just one day.
After all, while Wood Release was immensely powerful, Hashirama Senju had almost never used it against other ninja villages. Thus, the Cloud Shinobi knew very little about its various properties.
From then on, the Cloud Shinobi could only retreat again and again when facing Hiruko. As a result, Hiruko alone often split the entire battlefield into several sections, allowing Konoha Village to take the opportunity to inflict severe losses upon the Cloud Shinobi.
As for Uzumaki Kushina, although she was powerful and her healing ability was not weak, she ultimately lacked Tsunade's overwhelming healing prowess. Moreover, while her individual combat ability was strong, she had short legs and could not swiftly sweep through large numbers of cannon-fodder ninja.
Therefore, for the Cloud Shinobi, Uzumaki Kushina was still barely someone they could hold back.
"Perhaps we can have Two-Tails Yugito give it a try," Killer B said. "Isn't Yugito already here? With a Tailed Beast's large-scale destructive power, Wood Release shouldn't be able to stop her, right?"
