The Forest of Death was already filled with towering ancient trees, fallen leaves carpeting the ground and branches blotting out the sky, with poisonous insects and coiling old vines throughout the woods.
Sunlight could barely penetrate the dense canopy to reach the ground.
Hashirama Senju stood on the thick humus layer and pressed his palms together.
"Wood Release: Deep Forest Emergence!"
Rumbling tremors swept through the entire forest.
Countless shoots burst wildly from underground, spreading along the roots of the Forest of Death's ancient trees.
Even thicker, verdant trees broke through the soil, weaving and squeezing between the existing trees.
The new trunks forcibly pushed apart the old trees' canopies, while countless supple vines as thick as the mouth of a bowl shot out from every direction like venomous snakes.
The already dim Forest of Death was instantly engulfed by the Tree Sea, which had expanded severalfold.
Branches and leaves piled layer upon layer, cutting off the daylight completely and plunging the woods into deeper darkness.
Countless trees and vines lashed toward Uchiha Jin and Obito Uchiha.
The attacks came from every direction.
Obito Uchiha could use Kamui to become intangible, while Uchiha Jin could only twist and leap through the sea of trees.
Ordinary people truly had no way to deal with large-scale attacks like Wood Release.
Even though Hashirama Senju could not unleash his full strength from when he was alive, his Wood Release was still astonishingly powerful.
"Tsk, tsk. As expected of the God of Shinobi."
Obito Uchiha stood still, letting the trees pass through his body as he watched Jin dart through the woods with interest.
Using Kamui to ignore the attacks and standing here watching this guy dodge back and forth.
What a pleasure!
