At that thought, Shanyao exchanged a glance with Shizuko, then rapidly formed hand seals:
"Earth Release: Earth-Style Moving Core!"
Shanyao poured earth-nature chakra madly into the ground beneath his feet. With him at the center, the surrounding ground seemed to be manipulated at will by an invisible giant hand.
It trembled slightly at first. Then, with several thunderous rumbles, the ground began to heave dramatically, cracks spreading in every direction like monstrous pythons.
Countless scrolls and sheets of paper in the Archive Room began falling and fluttering through the air from the violent shaking.
"You're asking for death!"
Tekka shouted as he charged at Shanyao. "Protect the files. Leave this man to me."
He was only halfway there when a mass of stone pillars burst from the ground, blocking his path.
It did not end there. Shanyao swiftly hurled dozens of Explosive Tag Kunai, targeting not the Uchiha clan members, but the research data.
Boom, boom, boom...
Violent explosions rang out, and smoke filled the entire Archive Room. At that moment, Shizuko reached the man in white, kicked him away, then took out a sealing scroll and sealed all the scrolls on the desk inside.
"Earth Release: Earth Corridor!"
Father and daughter performed the Earth Release ninjutsu together. In an instant, masses of rock enclosed the entire Archive Room.
Once that was done, neither hesitated. They left the research institute underground without stopping.
In just three seconds, the two had obtained the artificial human technology while surrounded by the Uchiha Clan and successfully escaped the research institute.
This was largely because Shanyao had targeted only the data and researchers, forcing the Uchiha Clan to temporarily give up attacking the pair in order to protect them.
Shanyao understood this too, so after leaving the research institute, he headed toward Hokage Rock
