Uchiha Itachi had known that Wood Release was the Ninjutsu the First used to bring peace to a chaotic age. He had even encountered a Wood Release user during his time in the Anbu, though that Ninja had not been particularly strong.
But even Itachi felt immense pressure when he faced Uchiha Yi's Wood Release.
He wanted to dodge, but with vines sweeping toward him from every direction, Itachi gritted his teeth and summoned Susanoo!
The orange-red giant appeared and immediately drew the Totsuka Blade, slashing at the vines and branches.
So he doesn't know after all? A faint smile touched Yi's lips. The vines were hardly the most dangerous part of Wood Release: Deep Forest Emergence. Its poison was what made it deadly.
Of course, Yi or Tsunade could have dealt with the Poison Powder easily. Anyone who had prepared for it in advance could have done the same.
After all, Madara Uchiha had fought Hashirama Senju, who had used Wood Release: Deep Forest Emergence against him.
To put it bluntly, if Itachi's Susanoo had been bigger, he would not have needed to worry about the Poison Powder. Who still relied on their own legs to get around while using Susanoo these days?
