Five Release: Great Combo Technique! / Ruthless Enough to Beat Himself Up!

They seemed almost alive and aware, intent on destroying and devouring everything in their path.

They rampaged in every direction.

But at the same time,

the inn and surrounding buildings, which should have been engulfed by the countless towering trees and destroyed in an instant, were completely unaffected.

Even the pedestrians on the street showed no signs of panic, still chatting and laughing.

They noticed nothing unusual.

"Wood Release: Wood Locking Wall!"

"Wood Release: Tree Binding Eternal Burial!"

"Wood Release: Wood Dragon Technique!"

"Wood Release: Multiple Wood Clone Technique!"

"Boom... boom..."

Inside the Kakuriyo space,

one Wood Release Ninjutsu after another

was effortlessly mastered and used by Rikuto on the spot.

The price was that he had used up most of his own Chakra.

After all, he was currently only an eight-year-old kid, and his body was far from fully grown.

For the vast majority of ninja, that amount of Chakra was already quite astonishing.

Although he had to return to the real world once after every ten minutes in Kakuriyo before he could enter again,

with Rikuto's powerful ocular power, that little bit of consumption was naturally no problem as long as he wasn't actually using Ōnamuchi to attack a target.

"Wood Release Ninjutsu are basically no problem now... for the rest, what I'm lacking is Chakra!"

Looking at the densely packed trees filling the Kakuriyo space,

Rikuto, who was sweating a little, couldn't help letting out a long breath.

He shook the sweat from his head.

"Next, let's clean this up a little... Wood Release: Wood Clone!"

One Wood Clone after another

emerged directly from Rikuto's body, twenty in all.

Although Kakuriyo shifted along with him, its host,

and every time he entered Kakuriyo, this parallel space would be completely "reset," so he wouldn't be affected by these trees,

he still planned to use the last of his Chakra to clean up the Kakuriyo space in one go.

"Five of you to each direction. Use the Five Combo Bullets!"

At a command from the original Rikuto,

the twenty Wood Clones split directly into four groups, each facing one of the four cardinal directions.

They all formed different seals with one hand.

Their hand signs changed rapidly.

Over the past few days,

he naturally hadn't been idle in Konoha.

Of the Ninjutsu he'd helped himself to from the Uchiha Clan,

he had already mastered a considerable portion by using the parallel space of Kakuriyo as a training ground.

He had mastered quite a few Ninjutsu of all five natures: wind, lightning, water, fire, and earth.

Quite a few of those Five Basic Nature Transformations were A-rank or higher.

"Fire Style: Fire Dragon Bullet Technique!"

"Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet Technique!"

"Earth Release: Earth Dragon Bullet Technique!"

The Wood Clones gathered Chakra.

All of them faced the densely packed forest.

As if by unspoken agreement, they suddenly spat.

"Whoosh... whoosh..."

Earth Dragon Bullet, Water Dragon Bullet, Fire Dragon Bullet, Wind Dragon Bullet, Lightning Dragon Bullet...

The five Ninjutsu of different natures suddenly intertwined, forming a new technique.

They became a dazzling, enormous storm that triggered an incredibly violent explosion!

It swept out in every direction!

[Five Release: Great Combo Technique]

"Rumble..."

A tremendous shock wave

swept through the Kakuriyo space.

Vast numbers of trees were destroyed with crushing force.

They turned into wood chips that filled the sky and scattered on the wind.

Dust billowed, and the scene was a complete mess.

"Tch, the power's nothing special!"

A somewhat tired Rikuto shrugged.

He directly reclaimed the Chakra from those Wood Clones.

His figure vanished from the Kakuriyo space.

If the Third Hokage had been there,

he probably would have wanted to strangle this little show-off.

Possessing all Chakra natures, he had always taken pride in being able to perform the Five Combo Bullets Technique together with his Shadow Clones.

He had once displayed its great power on the battlefield, striking fear into countless ninja and earning a reputation as one of a kind in the Shinobi World.

Yet in Chiya Rikuto's eyes, its power was merely so-so.

What was even more infuriating

was that Chiya Rikuto really had mastered the Five Release: Great Combo Technique.

And he had even created twenty Wood Clones and divided them into four groups to use it.

At such a young age,

with that amount of Chakra,

and such precise Chakra control,

it was simply jaw-dropping.

He was ridiculously formidable.

"Phew... my Chakra reserves are still too small. Forget the First Hokage, I can't even compare to the Second!"

Rikuto sat there panting, his head covered in sweat.

In the training just now, he had used up over ninety percent of his Chakra.

"I'll go out and replenish it!"

With that,

Rikuto sank into the ground at a speed visible to the naked eye and disappeared from the inn.

It wasn't that he couldn't replenish his strength through photosynthesis.

But for him, that was too slow.

It wasn't as if he had no faster way.

A short while later,

using the Mayfly Technique he had obtained from White Zetsu,

Rikuto merged with the earth, making use of the network of organic matter within it, including plant roots and underground water currents.

He soon arrived deep in a forest more than ten li from the capital.

"Roar!"

A giant bear cut an imposing figure.

But before it could pounce,

sharp vines ruthlessly pierced its body.

"Gulp... gulp..."

The giant bear howled.

The vines, meanwhile, seemed to be alive.

They kept rippling, as if they really were swallowing.

The entire giant bear shriveled up at an astonishing speed.

Its fat, powerful body became skin and bones.

It was a jaw-dropping sight.

And somewhat chilling.

"Phew... still a little short!"

The green vines retracted

and turned into an ordinary-looking arm.

Rikuto cut off the bear's paws, which he had deliberately left intact, and sealed them in a storage scroll.

After all, they were rare and delicious ingredients.

Using his powerful sensory abilities,

he directly locked onto other nearby beasts.

"Roar!"

Several minutes later,

another tiger lay there howling.

In the blink of an eye, it went from a majestic creature to a gaunt, feeble one, and lost its life.

Rikuto didn't even need to put much effort into stripping off its hide intact.

"Oh, right, the tiger's penis too. Can't waste something so nourishing!"

Rikuto, who had just been about to leave, remembered something.

He turned back and started rummaging around the tiger's dried-out carcass...
