Iwa Ninja's Hand Seals was completed almost at the same time.
There was a roar from both sides of the mountain road, the rock walls bulged inward, and huge rocks pressed against Chiya from both sides at the same time. The ground in front also cracked, and sharp stone pillars drilled out one after another, sealing all the places where he could hide.
Chiya took a step back and quickly Hand Seals his hands.
After the last seal fell, he bent down and pressed his palms on the ground.
"Wood Release, Wood Release: Deep Forest Emergence!"
Rumble!
The whole valley suddenly shook.
The rock formation under Chiya's palm cracked rapidly, and thick tree roots rushed out from the ground. As soon as the nearby stone pillars rose, they were smashed from the middle by the tree roots.
Trees grow wildly along the mountain road.
Tree trunks crowded the originally narrow road, and the canopy continued to expand upwards, soon covering the sky. Even the rock walls on both sides of the valley were drilled by tree roots, and large pieces of gravel rolled down the hillside.
The Iwa Ninja who rushed at the front had no time to stop, and in an instant he was separated by trees.
Someone was caught in a branch and thrown back to the team. As soon as someone jumped onto the tree trunk, the bark under his feet quickly split open, and new branches came out of it and wrapped around his legs.
"Wood Release?"
Kitsuchi looked at the forest that was rapidly forming in front of him, and for the first time there was an obvious change on his face.
Anyone in Shinobi World who can use this power should be dead long ago.
But there is no time for him to think about this now.
The call for help is still in the distant sky. Every time it is delayed, Han will become more dangerous.
"Don't spread it, punch it through!"
Iwa Ninja quickly stabilized his formation.
A large number of Earth Release blasted forward at the same time, rocks and trees collided continuously. The newly grown tree trunks were broken one after another, and broken wood chips and leaves fell everywhere.
However, they only advanced a short distance.
The broken tree trunk had not completely fallen, and another vibration was heard from the ground. New tree roots pushed away the broken wood, drilled out along the cracks in the rock formation, and soon blocked the open road.
Kitsuchi looked up.
The Akatsuki member has disappeared deep into the forest.
The opponent was not prepared to fight them head-on from the beginning. They just wanted to use Wood Release to trap the entire team here.
"Kurotsuchi, lead people from both sides!"
"Understood!"
Kurotsuchi led several rock ninjas to jump up the mountain wall.
They stepped on the raised rocks and moved upward quickly, trying to get around the tree canopy. The rock ninjas behind also followed Hand Seals, and rock pillars continued to rise on the mountain wall, creating a place for them to stay.
Chiya stood deep in the tree boundary, looking up at the mountain wall.
The tree world changed again with his Chakra.
The tree roots entrenched in the rock formation quickly grew upwards, and a large number of branches rushed out of the forest, clinging to the mountain wall and chasing Kurotsuchi and the others.
Kurotsuchi looked back.
"Lava Release, Lava Release: Quicklime Congealing Technique!"
Large pieces of white lime spit out from her mouth and landed on the branches that were chasing her. The rock ninja behind them followed up with Water Release, and the water rushed over the mountain wall and mixed with the lime.
Click!
The lime solidified quickly, sealing large branches within it.
Kurotsuchi did not stop and continued to move forward on the rock pillars. But before they had gone far, a low cracking sound came from inside the mountain wall.
The tree roots drilled into the rock formations and grew out from behind the solidified lime.
Thick branches lay across the high ground, blocking the way for Kurotsuchi and others. More vines hung down from above, covering all the places on the mountain wall where they could stay.
Kurotsuchi can only jump backwards.
She had just landed back on the ground, and Kitsuchi had already reached the front of the team.
"All back!"
The Iwa ninja quickly backed away.
Kitsuchi put his hands together, and Chakra poured into the ground beneath his feet.
"Earth Release, Earth Release: Mountain Soil Technique!"
Boom!
The rock walls on both sides of the valley suddenly cracked.
Two huge rock mountains rose from the left and right, and simultaneously squeezed into the tree boundary in the middle. Where the rock mass passed, a large number of trees were overturned by their roots, and the thick trunks broke one after another under the huge pressure.
The entire valley was shaking violently under Kitsuchi's ninjutsu.
The huge rocks collided together, making a deafening roar. The forest that originally filled the mountain road was forced to the middle, and large areas of the tree crown collapsed downwards.
Chiya stood inside the tree world and felt the same power.
The surrounding trees could no longer bear it, and the sound of breaking continued to come from all directions. The rock mass formed by Earth Release: Mountain Soil Technique was still squeezing inward, almost completely crushing the entire forest.
Kitsuchi is indeed very powerful.
If it were just an ordinary Wood Release, I'm afraid it would have been penetrated by this blow.
Chiya did not let go of Hand Seals's hands.
The Chakra in the body continues to pour into the earth.
The tree roots that were crushed by the rock mountain did not stop growing. Instead, they drilled in along the gaps in the rock mass. The inside of the hard rock formation was quickly filled with tree roots.
At first there were just some tiny cracks.
As the tree roots continued to expand, the entire rock mountain began to shake violently.
Kitsuchi's pupils shrank.
Click!
The huge rock mass suddenly cracked from the inside.
The thick tree trunk crashed through the rock formation and rushed out of the crack. Immediately afterwards, the entire rock mountain was shattered by the growing roots.
A large number of rocks fell from the sky.
As soon as Iwa Ninja saw the road ahead, new trees emerged from between the gravel, filling the entire valley again.
"How is it possible..."
A rock ninja looked at the regrown forest and couldn't help but take a step back.
The Earth Release of the same scale just now was still unable to break through the opponent's Wood Release.
Kitsuchi said nothing.
He smashed his hands on the ground, and a large area of the ground in front of him was upturned. Countless trees were uprooted, and the root systems buried underground were also exposed to everyone.
"Follow up!"
Kitsuchi was the first to rush into the gap.
His right arm was wrapped in rocks, and the huge Rock Fist slammed into the tree trunk blocking the front.
Bang!
The tree trunk exploded in response.
Kitsuchi did not stop at his feet and smashed the trees blocking the road one after another. The Iwa ninja quickly moved forward behind him, and a narrow passage finally appeared on the originally blocked mountain road.
Kurotsuchi was just about to lead people to rush over, when the tree roots in front suddenly started to move at the same time.
The underground roots rolled out and quickly wrapped around Kitsuchi's legs.
Kitsuchi shouted low, and Rock Fist smashed his feet, breaking the tree roots entangled with him. But as soon as he lifted his feet, more roots came up from all around.
Every time he breaks a part, a new branch will replace it nearby.
The situation of other Iwa ninjas was not much better.
Several ninjas tried to sneak underground and pass under the tree boundary. But as soon as they entered the soil, the surroundings were already crowded with tangled tree roots.
The tree roots continue to tighten, and the space in the soil layer becomes smaller and smaller.
The few rock ninjas could only rush out of the ground again, but before they had time to stand firm, they were wrapped up in branches and thrown back to the rear of the team.
Kitsuchi glanced into the distance.
The call for help has dissipated, but the explosions deep in the mountains continue.
They've been trapped for too long.
"Kurotsuchi!"
Kurotsuchi immediately came to Kitsuchi.
The father and daughter pressed their palms to the ground at the same time.
"Earth Release, Earth Release: Opening Earth Rising Excavation!"
Boom!
The earth suddenly rose upward.
The rock formation in front was lifted up from below by a huge force, and large trees flipped into the air. The root system deep in the tree boundary was also pulled out of the ground, and the entire forest tilted significantly.
Kitsuchi gritted his teeth and continued to inject Chakra into the operation.
The uplifted strata were getting higher and higher, and a large number of rocks collapsed to both sides. The Iwa Ninja followed behind, waiting for the moment when the tree boundary was completely opened.
Chiya stood on a big tree, his red clouds and black robes were blown by the strong wind.
He glanced into the distance.
The roaring deep in the forest has stopped.
The huge Chakra belonging to Five-Tails also began to move away quickly.
Akatsuki has succeeded.
Chiya looked away and closed his hands again.
The tree roots that had been lifted into the air suddenly tightened.
A large number of branches rushed out from the crown of the tree and swept towards the rock ninja below. The newly destroyed tree boundary began to grow again, quickly covering all the raised strata.
"Defense!"
Kitsuchi turned around and blocked the front of the team.
The rock wall rose from the ground, protecting everyone from behind. Kurotsuchi and other rock ninjas used ninjutsu at the same time to resist the trees coming from all directions.
Branches kept hitting the rock wall.
Dull crashing sounds were heard one after another in the valley, and the rock walls were quickly covered with cracks.
When Kitsuchi finally smashed the trees in front of him and rushed out of the siege again, the man in red clouds and black robes had disappeared.
All that was left was a forest that was still growing.
Kitsuchi looked in the direction of Han.
"Let's go!"
The Iwa Ninja did not stop, and immediately passed through the gap left by the tree boundary and rushed towards the battlefield.
