Naruto was long forgotten; with Naruto small frame, he couldn't withstand even a single punch from Wood Man.
Sakura has an extremely sharp intuition for battle; even with nine tails, Naruto is nothing more than someone who can be easily crushed by Wood Man.
Even the Nine-Tails ' Tailed Beast Bomb couldn't destroy the Wood Man, let alone Naruto's current Tailed Beast Bomb with four tails.
"Bang bang"
After Li Yu's Wood Man dummy delivered a few ordinary punches, it suddenly jumped back.
" Wood Release: Wood Dragon Technique "
Yamato manipulated the wooden figures on the Wood Man, causing them to swirl towards the Wood Man at Li Yu's feet.
Having anticipated this move, Li Yu reacted quickly, leaping backward to dodge.
"Disregarding martial ethics, resorting to sneak attacks."
Seeing the Wood Man relentlessly pursuing him, Li Yu also commanded his Wood Dragon to follow, entangled with the opposing Wood Dragon.
The two Wood Dragon, twisted into pretzel shapes, landed together and plunged to the bottom of the cliff, tumbling and thrashing about.
"Sigh, I'm not going to waste my time with you."
After Li Yu finished speaking, green eyeshadow appeared at the corner of his eye, indicating that he had activated his Sage Mode.
"Immortal Techniques - Gate of the Great God "
Several cylindrical red structures, one horizontal and two vertical, fell from the sky, pinning the neck, hands, and feet of the Wood Man opposite to the ground.
In an instant, the Wood Man controlled by Yamato quieted down and was completely under his control.
Even a few smaller ones fell on Gate of the Great God 'Yamato body.
"Done and time to wrap up"
Before Li Yu could even catch his breath, a change occurred in Yamato.
Green scales covered his entire body, which was quickly enveloped in them. Horns grew on his head, and a touch of purple eyeshadow appeared at the corner of his eye.
"Immortal Technique: Sage Art Wood Release: True Several Thousand Hands "
This time, the commotion was even greater; a giant Buddha, a thousand meters tall, rose from the ground, with Wood Man on its head rising along with it.
Li Yu, who was caught off guard, was sent flying and crashed to the ground, kicking up a cloud of trees and sand.
He manipulated the Wood Man to stand up, facing the giant Buddha and the thousands of giant hands behind it.
Standing before the 1,000-meter-tall Buddha statue, even the 100-meter-tall Wood Man seemed incredibly small; each hand could easily flatten it.
On the other side, the commotion caused by the Tailed Beast Bomb unleashed by the Four-Tails Naruto was blocked by this thousand-meter-tall giant Buddha.
The people on the other side of the cliff were completely unaware that their entire attention was focused on the giant Buddha.
" Yamato, you've gone too far this time!" Orochimaru licked his lips.
Sai, who was riding a bird in the air, was already dumbfounded.
" Naruto is so strong, Captain Nawaki is so powerful, and the enemy is so strong too."
Sai, wearing a belly button outfit, had a feeling of "I'm the clown," and his small mouth, which had been smeared with arsenic, trembled involuntarily.
"What am I doing? Where am I?" The bird was blown into ink-like form by a gust of wind.
The aftershocks of the two battlefields sandwiched him in the middle, with gusts of wind, stronger and stronger, shoving into his mouth, leaving him satiated even by drinking the northwest wind.
"Holy shit, holy shit!"
" Orochimaru, where did you get such a First Ninjutsu?"
" Yamato actually knows Senjutsu, and he can even use this technique!"
"I was careless and suffered a small loss."
"Captain Nawaki, what do we do? What kind of Ninjutsu is this?"
"This is the strongest Wood Release ultimate Ninjutsu used by the First Hokage, Hashirama Senju Hashirama, in his final battle against Uchiha Madara at the Valley of the End."
" Sage Art Wood Release: True Several Thousand Hands "
" The Wood Man sat cross-legged atop the Buddha's head, transforming into an angry Vajra; the giant Buddha sat cross-legged, eyes closed and palms clasped, with Senju giant arms sprouting from its back."
"Such powerful Ninjutsu, it's unbelievable that it still exists."
" Sakura, hold on tight, I'm going to have a match with him to see whose Wood Release Ninjutsu is more advanced."
"Only magic can defeat magic!!"
Li Yu quickly Hand Seals, clasped his hands together, and shouted.
"Immortal Technique: Sage Art Wood Release: True Several Thousand Hands "
The Wood Man beneath their feet sat cross-legged on the spot and rose rapidly. First appeared the head and body of a giant Buddha, who sat cross-legged on a futon, with countless giant arms growing out of his back in concentric circles.
Layer upon layer, until it evolved into thousands of arms, only then did the enormous spectacle cease.
"Oh, the giant Buddha in Yamato isn't even a kilometer tall."
Standing at their feet, their size was not clearly discernible, but under Li Yu's full power of Wood Release.
In comparison, the giant Buddha in Yamato is only about 800 meters tall, significantly smaller than the one under Li Yu's feet, and its arms are not even a thousand thick.
Even an ordinary ninja wouldn't be able to discern the exact size of the Buddha's form, and would only be intimidated by its enormous size, losing their confidence in battle.
Sage Art: Wood Release: Sage Art: Wood Release: True Several Thousand Hands
Yamato, who had been learning Ninjutsu over the past two years, was looking for someone to test his skills on. When no one was available, he unleashed the ultimate technique of the Giant Buddha.
"Captain Nawaki, watch out!"
Sage Art: Wood Release: Sage Art: Wood Release: True Several Thousand Hands
All the giant arms clenched into fists and raised their hands forward; the speed of this battle was beyond description.
"Boom boom boom"
The loud noises continued for hundreds of miles, accompanied by thunderclaps and lightning in the clear sky, frightening many children who cried incessantly.
Many villagers knelt down in worship, the white clouds in the sky within a radius of dozens of kilometers were scattered, the mountain peaks collapsed, and the ground shook continuously.
The cliff Heaven and Earth Bridge collapsed completely, turning into a depression.
With each clash of fists, the giant arm shattered, turning into flying wood chips.
In the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, the giant arm retracted, and both giant Buddhas were already covered in wounds, a perfect example of injuring the enemy a thousand while losing eight hundred of one's own.
This intense release of Chakra even left Li Yu somewhat exhausted, and he struggled to keep the giant Buddha from collapsing.
The giant Buddha statue in Yamato was already dilapidated, and finally, exhausted, Wood Man and the giant Buddha disappeared.
Just then, a red figure was struck by a giant sword and rushed directly to the feet of the giant Buddha.
Naruto was enveloped in red Chakra, his four tails swaying slowly behind him, and the tip of a sword resting against his stomach, but the sword could not penetrate his body.
Naruto raised his red palm, casually flicked his sword, and the super-long Kusanagi Kyo swept to one side, kicking up a huge cloud of dust.
Orochimaru retracted the Kusanagi Sword from his mouth, his neck also retracting, and a smile appeared on his lips.
Orochimaru, who had pulled his head back, spat out his own body covered in mucus, and shed his skin to reveal a complete version of himself.
"It seems like it's almost time."
"As expected, this body is showing a rejection reaction."
"It's a bit of a shame, but this is the only place we can move to today."
"Be patient, be patient, I still have Sasuke."
Yamato also appeared nearby, helped Orochimaru up from the ground, and then quickly left.
Li Yu released the giant Buddha and manipulated the Wood Man to grab Naruto was possessed by red Chakra.
Before Li Yu could take any further action, the Nine-Tails within Naruto seemed to sense something and immediately withdrew its Chakra.
" The Nine-Tails is so perceptive, so self-aware!!"
"It's the instinct of a beast!"
The four tails shrank rapidly, and the red Chakra quickly faded, leaving behind Naruto's burning red skin.
Li Yu dispelled the Wood Human Technique and, with an excited Sakura, approached the collapsed Naruto.
"Captain Nawaki, did you stop Naruto?" Sakura asked while treating Naruto on the ground.
Li Yu pondered for a moment before answering.
"I think so!"
"I've dealt with the Nine-Tails before, and I once suppressed it. When it saw my Wood Release, it retreated on its own."
Nine-Tails isn't actually afraid of being beaten up; what it fears most is what happened with Li Yu.
