The White Snake Sage's Sage Art also required eye power to activate, and when it came to a contest of eye power, the Uchiha feared no one.
Seeing this, the White Snake Sage immediately realized that dōjutsu was useless. She stopped probing at once and swung her enormous serpentine body.
Rumble!
Her mountain-sized body swept out, carrying tremendous force and dense natural energy as it slammed toward Uchiha Hikari.
The air burst under the crushing force, releasing a piercing sonic boom, while every loose stone and layer of rock along its path was ground to dust.
This was pure physical brute strength, the terrifying bodily power unique to yōkai.
Facing this devastating blow, Uchiha Hikari neither retreated nor dodged. She simply raised both hands and clapped them together.
The next second.
The shattered rock beneath her feet rose with a thunderous roar. Countless shoots of emerald green burst from the ground, thick, resilient branches growing and spreading wildly, weaving layer upon layer into a heavy wooden wall that instantly blocked the space before Uchiha Hikari.
Bang!
The deafening collision of immense forces shook the cavern, sending waves of air sweeping in every direction.
Fine cracks instantly covered the thick wooden wall, but it neither collapsed nor broke.
"Wood Release?!"
Seeing the technique Uchiha Hikari had used, the White Snake Sage's pupils abruptly contracted, and towering waves of shock surged through her heart.
You're an Uchiha! How can you use Wood Release?!
You plundered Hashirama Senju too?!
For a moment, the White Snake Sage was nearly scared to death. Who was Hashirama Senju?! He was the absolute pinnacle this world had produced, an invincible existence.
Impossible!!!!
No... this Wood Release isn't as powerful as Hashirama Senju's, and it has none of that sense of time and space.
*This Wood Release... is
