Tree World Descent

Just like last time, the three Chu Yangs only stayed in the palace briefly before the mist swallowed them.

When they woke again, they had already returned to their respective worlds.

The Chu Yang of the One Piece world was accepting the crew's cheers aboard a pirate ship, while the Chu Yang of the magical world was preparing to enroll in a new school.

Naruto world.

A massive war capable of reshaping the ninja world's balance of power was about to erupt.

In this era, the nations had yet to establish Ninja Villages. It was an age dominated by clans, with chaos and war as its central themes.

The two most renowned clans in the ninja world were mobilizing their forces, preparing for a decisive battle.

The Senju clan.

The Uchiha clan.

The war between the two clans had lasted for many years. In a sense, the history of their conflict was the history of the ninja world itself.

As the war continued, the front lines of both clans stretched farther and farther, creating a need for supplies.

The moment Chu Yang returned from the Soul Palace, he received an order from the clan to join a squad and ambush the Uchiha clan's logistics unit.

This had practically become the norm in the war.

The Senju clan's supply lines were also frequently attacked by the Uchiha clan.

The two sides traded blows and gradually adapted to such attacks during the war. Once they became vigilant, raids evolved into a contest of reconnaissance and counter-reconnaissance.

Chu Yang's squad spent two full days pursuing the opposing supply unit across the grasslands before finally confirming their location.

Night fell. The Uchiha clan's logistics unit had camped downstream along a small river, while Chu Yang's group lay in ambush in the woods not far from it.

"Although the Uchiha clan's Sharingan is inferior to the Hyuga clan's Byakugan when it comes to reconnaissance, it still possesses extremely powerful observational abilities."

"During the operation, be sure to control the flow of your Chakra. Do not alert them."

The captain repeatedly reminded the squad members.

They were all very young and had little experience fighting the Uchiha.

There was even a boy who had only just joined the war.

The captain's gaze lingered on Chu Yang before he secretly shook his head. Someone as young and inexperienced as him was the most likely to die on the battlefield.

Under cover of darkness, the squad swiftly slipped into the river and slowly swam toward the enemy camp.

But Chu Yang, who had fallen to the rear of the group, sensed that something was wrong.

There were very few enemies standing watch, not enough to fully cover the camp's perimeter. Especially along the riverbank, there was not even a shadow in sight.

Moreover, the camp was unusually quiet, as though everyone inside had fallen into a dead sleep.

Both of these were extremely dangerous behaviors in the wilderness.

Chu Yang wanted to warn the captain, but the man was swimming at the very front of the group, far too distant from him.

Only after reaching shore did Chu Yang get the chance to whisper his concerns into the captain's ear. Unfortunately, the captain did not take him seriously because of his young age.

Chu Yang sighed. Since he could not persuade him, he could only be more careful himself.

The captain silently crept into a tent...

The other squad members scattered around the area, waiting for the captain's signal to strike together and kill the resting Uchiha clansmen.

Yet instead of the captain's signal, they heard a piercing scream!

This was bad!

At the same time, flames lit up in every direction. The entire camp was brightly illuminated, and dark figures swarmed everywhere. There were Uchiha clan ninjas all around!

The next moment...

Chu Yang saw the captain being dragged out of the tent by Uchiha clansmen like a dead dog.

Chu Yang's group had walked into an ambush!

"Find a way to break out!"

Someone in the group suddenly shouted. In an instant, several terrified ninjas tried to break through in different directions.

"Idiots! Splitting our forces at a time like this is asking for death! They set this trap long ago and have been waiting for us!" Chu Yang could not help but curse.

Sure enough, every Senju clansman who attempted to break out was cut down by enemies lying in wait.

Those Senju clansmen who had not fled quickly recognized the situation and gathered around Chu Yang.

"Attack!"

The leading Uchiha clearly had no intention of giving his enemies a chance to catch their breath.

The two sides began a fierce clash!

After exchanging blows with the enemy several times, Chu Yang realized that they were all extremely strong. They could not possibly be a logistics unit.

This so-called logistics unit had been a trap to lure them in from the very beginning!

"We will make the Senju clan pay!"

The enemy had come prepared. Whether in strength or numbers, Chu Yang's side was at a severe disadvantage and quickly fell into a losing position!

But!

The Uchiha clan had still miscalculated!

After returning from the Soul Palace, Chu Yang's talent and power had both surged to three times their former levels.

At this moment, his proficiency in Wood Release and his Chakra reserves barely allowed him to use some Wood Release Ninjutsu at the secret technique level.

Just as the Senju clan was being forced back step by step, Chu Yang stepped forward and began forming hand seals.

The earth trembled.

Countless thick trees burst from the ground, forming a vast forest in an instant and engulfing every Uchiha clansman within it.

Wood Release: Tree World Descent

This was the only secret technique Ninjutsu Chu Yang knew, but it was not the complete version of Tree World Descent. Even if it drained every last bit of Chakra from his body, this technique was only a small fraction of the original.

It was more like the downgraded version of Forest World Descent used by Yamato.

Its power did not reach the secret technique level either, hovering only between A-rank and S-rank.

Even so, it was more than enough to deal with these Uchiha clansmen.

Under Chu Yang's control, the entire forest became a man-eating demon, constantly strangling or binding the Uchiha clan's ninjas.

They were swallowed by the forest, with nowhere to stand. Every place beneath their feet had become a battlefield.

The Uchiha clan had no shortage of experts proficient in Fire Release Ninjutsu. They did not sit around and wait for death, unleashing large amounts of Fire Release Ninjutsu in an attempt to burn down the forest.

They had clearly never witnessed the power of Wood Release.

The flames destroyed far more slowly than the forest regenerated.

No matter how hard they tried, an endless forest always swallowed their vision, filling them with despair.

And this was only the incomplete version of Tree World Descent!

The enemy was utterly suppressed, and the Senju clansmen seized the opportunity to counterattack!

With the help of the other Senju clansmen, most of the Uchiha clansmen were killed within the forest. In the blink of an eye, Chu Yang had reversed the advantage in both offense and defense!

This was the terrifying power of Wood Release on the battlefield. It was enough to determine the outcome of a small-scale war!

After Wood Release had ravaged the battlefield, the remaining enemies chose to flee under Chu Yang's terrifying deterrence. Chu Yang, already exhausted, did not pursue them.

The surviving Senju clansmen gathered around Chu Yang, all looking at him with gratitude.

"Yang! We have you to thank this time. Otherwise, all of us would have died here!"

"I never expected you to know Clan Head Hashirama's Wood Release!"

"I heard that Clan Head Hashirama had taken in a group of young people as disciples and taught them his unique Wood Release Ninjutsu. Could you be one of them?"

The clansmen stared at Chu Yang in shock.

Brothers, give me some follow-up reads. It's Monday.
