Naruto: I Use Chakra to Upgrade Bloodline Limit Chapter 18

Hei's body went numb, and he briefly lost consciousness, as if he had been cast into a pitch-black void.

"Release!" In the blink of an eye, Hei snapped back to his senses and hurriedly dispelled the genjutsu.

When it came to genjutsu, Genya certainly could not compare to Fugaku or Shisui, but he was still capable of influencing his opponent.

For Genya, that single second was more than enough.

"Wood Style: Strangulation Technique."

Dozens of trees erupted from the ground like bamboo shoots after a spring rain, coiling toward Hei like agile serpents.

"Wood Style!?"

Only at this moment did endless terror finally surge within Hei's heart.

Wood Style was the First Hokage's most powerful kekkei genkai.

Why would this Uchiha youth possess Wood Style?

"Escape!" Hei had long since lost his initial composure.

All he wanted now was to flee this place and report the situation to Danzo.

But it was too late.

The Wood Style had already ensnared Hei's right leg.

"Get off me!" He swung the kunai in his hand, severing the wood, but more trees followed in quick succession.

Hei's body was soon bound and wrapped tightly.

"My chakra is actually draining away!" Hei felt his chakra being devoured by the trees.

Conversely, Genya felt a steady stream of chakra pouring into his body, filling him with power from head to toe!

Wood Style truly could devour chakra!

"Wood Style: Cutting Technique." Genya let out a low shout, and a sharp wooden spike sprouted from his right palm, thrusting straight into the Root ninja's body.

With another hand seal, dozens of wooden spikes bloomed inside Hei's body.

"Ah!" Hei let out a miserable scream as blood flowed from his wounds, turning him into a blood-soaked mess in an instant.

Genya wanted to know why they had targeted him and Itachi, but knowing that Root ninja had the Tongue Seal Technique planted on them, asking would yield no results; it was better to kill him outright.

The opponent collapsed to the ground, quickly losing all signs of life.

Genya performed hand seals to cast Fire Style, and a raging inferno began to burn.

The Yamanaka clan was capable of extracting intelligence from corpses.

Destroying the body would prevent any secrets from leaking!

Genya also tidied up the battlefield to ensure no traces of his Wood Style remained.

"Hoo!" After finishing everything, Genya gasped for air. The high-intensity battle had left him extremely exhausted, as if he hadn't slept for days and nights.

In truth, he had been in great danger today, and his victory over the opponent involved a fair amount of luck.

First, the opponent had been careless, dismissing him as a mere child and lowering his guard.

Second, Genya possessed three hidden kekkei genkai cards.

Third, he had been studying ninjutsu for some time recently.

Especially the genjutsu "Demonic Illusion: Shackling Stakes Technique!"

If not for this genjutsu affecting his opponent, even with Wood Style, Genya might not have been able to bind him.

The strength of a Jonin was still too formidable.

For the current Genya, it was still a very strenuous task.

But if word got out that a six-year-old boy had killed a Jonin, it would absolutely shock the Five Great Hidden Villages.

It was too monstrous!

This life-or-death duel also gave Genya profound insights, greatly enriching his combat experience.

After all, it was a life-and-death struggle against a Jonin!

Suddenly, a figure landed heavily in front of Genya.

"Genya, with me here, no one will be able to harm you today!"

Fugaku had finally arrived.

Killing intent erupted from his entire being, his Sharingan glowing crimson as he seethed with hatred for the Anbu!

Seeing Fugaku appear, Genya breathed a sigh of relief and spoke slowly.

"Clan Leader, is there a possibility that the Root ninja has already been slain by me?"

"What?" Fugaku stumbled, staring fixedly at Genya, his heart surging with shock like a thousand-fold wave.

Genya was actually capable of killing a Root ninja!?

"You killed a Root ninja!?" Upon hearing this news, Fugaku turned around in astonishment, his eyes wide as he gazed at Genya, his face full of disbelief.

The strength of Root ninjas was at least at the Chunin level, with many even being Jonin; how could a six-year-old boy who had just entered the Ninja Academy achieve such a feat?

What kind of monster was this?

He was simply more terrifying than Kakashi!

Truly terrifying to this extent!

Fugaku took a deep breath, suppressing the shock and various emotions in his heart, and said solemnly.

"Genya, do not lie; this would cause me to misjudge your strength, thereby affecting my future training of you."

Fugaku still found it somewhat hard to believe.

After all, it was too terrifying and shocking to be true...

Genya's dark eyes met Fugaku's gaze directly as he spoke: "I am not lying."

He then recounted the process of how he had killed the Root ninja.

The offensive design of the battle had been incredibly ingenious, interlocking ring by ring, wave after wave, ultimately succeeding in slaying the Root ninja.

Wood Release was Genya's ultimate trump card.

He did not mention it.

It was not yet the time to reveal it.

On the other hand, Genya also emphasized the Root ninja's carelessness.

After listening, Fugaku's heart was stirred with tumultuous shock, and he also marveled at how truly strong Genya's combat talent was...

After a long while, Fugaku spoke: "For your safety, I will hide this matter for you; when the time comes, I will announce to the outside world that I was the one who killed him."

Fugaku had thought it through thoroughly.

Currently, the relationship between the village and the Uchiha was delicate; if Genya's astonishing talent were leaked, it might invite a fatal disaster.

Once Genya's strength reached the Jonin level, there would not be so many concerns.

Genya nodded with an "En," his eyes revealing gratitude.

A faint killing intent permeated Fugaku's body as he slowly opened his mouth.

"Regarding today's matter, I will make Konoha give you an explanation!"

Root had gone too far.

Fugaku was going to demand an explanation from Danzo!

At the same time, he was also pondering.

Why would Root capture Genya and Itachi?

Although there was friction between the Uchiha and the Konoha high-ups, it had not reached the point of life-and-death, and there was no reason to kidnap the two.

Moreover, Itachi was the son of the Clan Leader; kidnapping him was equivalent to declaring war on the Uchiha, was it not?

It was true that Konoha's strength was greater than the Uchiha's.

But if they wanted to bite off this tough nut that was the Uchiha, they would also break a few teeth in the process.

Although the Third Great Ninja War had passed and the five great hidden villages were currently in a relatively peaceful stage, undercurrents were surging, and the various villages were constantly making small moves.

Would the Konoha high-ups choose to clash with the Uchiha at this time?

That would be too stupid!

Could it be because of the recent large-scale land auctions?

Fugaku shook his head.

He dismissed this thought.

The real estate project was in its initial stage and had not yet turned a profit.

The various clans were all waiting to see the Uchiha make a fool of themselves and would not be making small moves at this time.

Genya, following behind Fugaku, furrowed his brows.

The only explainable reason was that Orochimaru wanted to research the Sharingan.

After all, he was currently a subordinate of Danzo and could directly or indirectly command the Anbu.

It seems our Lord Orochimaru really is not someone who lets others rest easy...

On Itachi's side.

There were two groups of people.

One side was the Uchiha, led by Yashiro.

Members of the Uchiha Military Police Force always carried a special type of signal flare.

Once a signal flare exploded in the sky, nearby members of the Military Police Force were required to rush over immediately.

After Yashiro and the others received the message from Fugaku, they brought men and rushed over at once.

They discovered that besides Itachi, there was also a Root ninja with a vacant gaze.

Itachi explained the sequence of events.

As Itachi's voice faded.

The expressions of the Uchiha group turned ugly.

Simply detestable!

On the other side were four or five Root ninjas.

They had happened to see the signal flare and, thinking something major had occurred, had also rushed over immediately.

"Your Root sent someone to attack a youth of our clan; we must detain this person," Yashiro said, pointing at Ding.

The fact that the Root ninja had not only wounded Itachi but had also gone to hunt down Genya—such despicable behavior of the strong bullying the weak—filled Yashiro's heart with rage.

Moreover, Genya was a renowned genius of the Uchiha.

If he were to fall, it would be a tremendous loss for the Uchiha.

Therefore, every Uchiha wore a look of fury, their gazes locked onto the Root ninjas before them like tigers ready to devour their prey.

The leading Root squad leader was at the Jonin level, and beneath his mask, his brows were deeply furrowed.
