With that thought, Yechen quickly formed hand seals and unleashed his ninjutsu, "Wood Release: Deep Forest Emergence."
In an instant, earth churned and scattered as thick roots burst up from underground.
Before long, a fresh forest covered the devastated battlefield. The roots dragged the bodies of the Root Ninja and Danzo underground, presumably storing them as nutrients.
With every step Yechen took, flowers and grass rapidly sprouted in his wake.
This was the growth-accelerating ability of the Wood Release he had mastered.
It could rapidly mature ordinary plants, allowing them to complete their growth cycles in a short time.

Even if any ninja came looking, they would only find signs of a forest rapidly created by Wood Release, never any evidence of a battle.
Once he finished, Yechen shot into the sky and flew toward the village at top speed.
He could easily imagine the chaos Danzo's sudden death must have caused in the village.
And he could take this opportunity to loot Root's collection.
With Danzo dead, someone was bound to take away all those things that could never see the light of day.
