His Ninjutsu struck the roots, but not only were they completely unharmed, they actually began spreading even faster.
Caught off guard, he was entangled by the roots sweeping toward him.
Once he was bound, his face rapidly grew gaunt.
With the last of his strength, he shouted, "Don't touch these roots! They absorb chakra!"
By the time he finished warning his nearby comrades, all the chakra in his body had been drained.
Chakra was the energy of the body and mind. Once it was completely drained, a person naturally could not survive.
That was what made Wood Release so dangerous, and why it could restrain Tailed Beasts.
It could absorb chakra and use it as nourishment for its own growth!
Hearing his warning, the nearby shinobi shunned those seemingly vibrant roots like the plague.
This was simply terrifying!
Still, viewed in that light, Guy really was Wood Release's nemesis.
His moves were not Ninjutsu, but purely physical attacks. Wood Release could not absorb those, just as it could not now-
"Morning Peacock!"
Facing the sea of trees sweeping toward him, Guy punched furiously.
His fists moved so fast that their friction with the air produced dazzling flames.
The flames spilling from his fists dyed the sky red, as bright as the sunrise and as dazzling as a peacock's tail. Hence, Morning Peacock!
As for whether this obeyed science, well, science had no jurisdiction over the Shinobi World.
Under Morning Peacock's flames, the unstoppable waves of trees were finally held back.
"What a man, as dazzling as the sun! It seems leaving Konoha in Monkey's hands was the right decision."
Tobirama Senju nodded as he watched the brilliant flames.
Just then, Guy's aura suddenly surged.
The green energy around his body instantly turned into blue flames!
