The Sound of Chakra Being Torn Apart

Hearing Jota's deliberately lowered voice, the two glanced sideways, pondered for a moment, and then exchanged a single look, instantly understanding each other's meaning.

"Yes! Our excellent Will of Fire!"

Yudai and Yoshino Ei's unanimous approval and equally inexplicable smiles made Jota feel slightly strange, but he always believed in his teammates. In his heart, they were all excellent ninjas with the Will of Fire.

Bright sunlight filtered through the gaps in the trees, scattering across the three people like dappled patches of bright white light, but it seemed to tremble slightly because of their words.

"Hey-hey..."

"This is... so interesting..."

"Who!"

A fourth, seemingly inhuman voice suddenly rang out among them, startling the three of them instantly.

They hadn't sensed any enemy approaching. Only the increasingly noticeable fluctuations in Chakra caused beads of sweat to form on the foreheads of the three men, who were on high alert.

"This is too much trouble, too much trouble. I'll never do this kind of dirty work again..."

"Blocking a Flying Thunder God rune is such a hassle, and I almost got detected..."

The voice talking to itself seemed to have no intention of paying attention to them, but it seemed to come from all directions. No matter how the three searched, they could not pinpoint the enemy's location.

"Who is it?! Show yourself!"

"Mwah~, mela~, don't be so loud! You'll scare my little cutie, and I'll get a beating..."

The strange, eerie voice caused Yoshino Ei and the other two to huddle together. As they exchanged glances, Yoshino Ei secretly tried to activate the Flying Thunder God Cursed Seal on his arm, but there was no response whatsoever.

The three exchanged glances, their Adam's apples bobbing involuntarily. They had never encountered such a bizarre enemy before, and even Yoshino Ei, the most experienced in missions, couldn't help but feel a sense of unease.

"I learned this method from another amazing little cutie, and it's really useful..."

"You cowardly rat, what exactly are you after?!"

Kakashi Hatake and his two companions had long since disappeared, their mission seemingly a failure at this moment. Yet, the three of them now showed no concern for the mission whatsoever; the strange, inexplicable enemy had filled their faces with a heavy expression.

They stood back to back, forming a swastika pattern, their eyes constantly scanning the jungle, not missing a single hidden spot, yet they found no trace of the enemy.

The eerie scene and the bizarre enemy seemed to freeze the entire world, with only the three people's heartbeats and breathing growing stronger, and the sound of sweat seeping from their pores clearly audible.

Are you... looking for me?

A sudden sound came from the space behind the three of them, and countless white viscous liquids instantly flowed out from between their bodies and skin. It was as if their Chakra had been released as a flood.

"What kind of monster is this?!"

Yudai and Jota kept severing the tentacles and heads that were sprouting from their bodies with Kunai, but they seemed to be unable to disappear, and in an instant they enveloped their entire bodies.

"Water Release · Water Formation Wall!"

Yoshino Ei struggled to keep his Chakra flowing away. The swirling water enveloped his entire body, but it seemed to have no effect. The white viscous fluid that kept gushing out of his body gradually formed a humanoid creature.

"That's terrifying..."

White Zetsu's chilling laughter, like an endless, biting wind, extinguished the last hope in Yoshino Ei's heart. Three Jonin, lacking intelligence, were like three pigs and sheep to be slaughtered.

"Wood Release: Wood Splintering Technique!"

The white humanoid creature suddenly transformed into countless sharp wooden spikes, piercing through the three of them. With their Chakra constantly draining away, the three of them were instantly torn apart like tattered rags.

The severed arms were tightly strung together by wooden spikes, and blood gushed out from countless holes. In their abdomens, chests, and backs, the three men resembled hedgehogs, supported by the wooden spikes that held them suspended in the air. The flowing blood gathered and slowly formed a pool of blood.

Finally Yudai and Jota, who had been convulsing, gradually lost their breath, leaving only Yoshino Ei Hide staring wide-eyed at the white humanoid creature in front of him in complete disbelief.

"How... could it be... Wood Release...?"

"How strange, why can't it be Wood Release?"

White Zetsu bent over and approached Yoshino Ei's still open eyes. A blood-stained wooden thorn pierced through his chest, but White Zetsu's body seemed weightless as he leaped onto the jagged branches of the thorns, half-squatting down and gradually descending.

"I remember, it's here, it must be here!"

There's a hole...

His body suddenly lurched downwards, and sharp wooden splinters pierced through his lower body, emerging from White Zetsu's abdomen.

"Damn it, it hurts, it hurts so much!"

"Wow! There's a hole! There's a hole!"

"Poop... poop..."

"Puff..."

Yoshino Ei stared intently at the white, lumpy object in front of him, his bloodshot eyes filled with grief and indignation, and a large amount of blood kept gushing from his mouth.

The sky slowly darkened, and the last traces of life vanished into this unknown jungle.

"Huh? Why can't I poop?"

"Never mind, let's go see Madara's little cutie instead..."

Have you ever heard the sound of Chakra being torn apart?

Kato Osamu was surrounded by elite Root ninjas who were already on high alert, but they all turned their heads when they heard his voice.

Their eyes held no surprise or inquiry, only endless coldness and scrutiny. The icy aura seemed to freeze the entire space.

Kato Osamu chuckled softly, a barely perceptible blue light flickering in his hand, all his mental energy concentrated on the Chakra within.

"Act immediately!"

The Yamanaka Ling, who had been sitting in a huddled position with his eyes closed, suddenly stood up. As if receiving Danzo's order, he shouted loudly, causing all the Root ninja to instantly open their eyes, which flashed with an icy coldness like ghostly fire, and their entire bodies were overflowing with boundless killing intent.

They never cared who came. Even if it were Hiruzen Sarutobi who came today, they would still show no mercy. Those who could stand here must be Danzo's elite confidants, a dozen Jonin and dozens of Chunin. Such a large-scale operation was only aimed at one person.

If Danzo cautious and only gradually removed some of the 'fallen' ninjas, the disappearance of such a large number of people would have been noticed by everyone long ago.

"Yes!"

Taking a deep breath, Kato Osamu withdrew the Chakra in his hand, and inexplicably raised his eyes to gaze at the sky. The thick dark clouds still seemed impossible to disperse, as if they were waiting for a thorough thunderstorm to cleanse the world.
