บท 63: Chapter 63: Defeating You Is Enough
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The clash of monstrous strength erupted into thunderous roars.
Tsunade's brute force was overwhelming Kakuzu.
But Kakuzu's Earth Spear could defend against most physical attacks except Lightning Release.
One had high offense, the other high defense, making the battle evenly matched.
The Three-Tails controlled by Uchiha Obito was also being held back by Shishou's red-armored centipede.
Although the centipede was half the size of the Three-Tails, its shell was incredibly tough.
Winning against the Three-Tails was impossible,
But losing to it wouldn't happen quickly either.
It was a perfect stalemate.
"Heh, what technique are you going to use against me now?"
"Last time, I turned you into a cripple."
Standing before Uchiha Obito, Shishou mocked him with a smile.
Among the people present, only he fully understood Obito's abilities.
Therefore, he had to be the one to keep an eye on Obito.
"Hehehe, trying to provoke me?"
"I don't need to do anything. Just watching you is enough."
Obito replied with a sinister laugh, his voice eerie.
Shishou was keeping an eye on Obito, but Obito was also keeping an eye on him.
Mei Terumi's Water Release was on par with Kisame's, but Kisame's unique physiology and Samehada minimized his chakra loss.
Over time, Mei Terumi was destined to lose.
The summoned centipede faced the same situation.
It was only a matter of time before the Three-Tails defeated it.
As time passed,
The scales of victory would tilt in Obito's favor.
Hearing Obito's words, Shishou felt a headache coming on.
He had tried to provoke Obito into attacking, giving him a chance to strike during Obito's brief moments of tangibility.
Then he could help the others.
But Obito had seen through his plan.
With Kamui, as long as Obito didn't attack,
Shishou couldn't do anything to him for the time being.
Sure enough,
It wasn't long before Mei Terumi began to falter, barely fending off Kisame's attacks.
The red-armored centipede was also showing signs of defeat under the Three-Tails' onslaught.
Only Tsunade had the upper hand against Kakuzu.
Suddenly,
"Tsunade, look who this is!"
Two Venus flytrap-like structures emerged on a large tree, revealing a black and white face and shouting.
Black Zetsu, wearing an Akatsuki cloak, held an unconscious Shizune.
Shizune was covered in blood, gravely injured.
Her abdomen had a large gash, bleeding profusely.
Without immediate treatment, her life was in danger.
"Shizune..."
Seeing the blood on Shizune's body, Tsunade turned pale.
The scenes of her brother Nawaki and lover Dan's deaths flashed in her mind, causing her to collapse to the ground.
"What's going on?"
Kakuzu, watching Tsunade trembling in fear, was puzzled.
She had just been overpowering him with ferocity.
How did she suddenly become like this?
"It seems the rumors are true."
"Rumor has it that Tsunade, one of the Legendary Sannin, developed hemophobia after witnessing the deaths of her brother and lover."
"When her hemophobia flares up, her strength is greatly diminished."
Black Zetsu explained as he tossed the injured Shizune next to Tsunade.
"Shizune, I'll heal you right away..."
Tsunade, trembling, crawled to Shizune, trying to heal her.
But her shaking hands, caused by her hemophobia, made it impossible to perform healing jutsu.
She could only watch as Shizune's life ebbed away.
This filled Tsunade with despair and fear.
"You had a backup plan!"
Shishou, seeing Shizune gravely injured by Black Zetsu, frowned.
"Of course," Uchiha Obito replied calmly.
"Finish her off," Obito ordered.
"Understood," Black Zetsu responded, moving towards Tsunade with Kakuzu.
In the next moment,
Shishou threw several shuriken at Obito while using the Flying Thunder God technique to appear beside Mei Terumi, grabbing her shoulder.
With another use of the Flying Thunder God technique, Shishou and Mei Terumi appeared next to Tsunade.
Simultaneously, the red-armored centipede abandoned its fight with the Three-Tails and charged at Kakuzu and Black Zetsu.
Seeing the giant summon charging, Kakuzu and Black Zetsu jumped aside to avoid the centipede's impact.
The centipede did not pursue but instead stood guard behind Shishou and the others.
Then,
Kakuzu, Kisame, Black Zetsu, Obito, and the Three-Tails surrounded Shishou and his group.
"Shishou, what now?"
Mei Terumi asked, her face pale as she looked at the encircling enemies.
"Do you know any healing techniques?"
Glancing at Tsunade's trembling hands, Shishou knelt down, placing several healing insects into Shizune's body, and asked Mei Terumi.
Obito and the others were not a significant problem.
For Shishou, Shizune's injuries were the biggest concern.
Black Zetsu's attack had been ruthless, destroying Shizune's internal organs with the Piercing Technique.
Even with several healing insects in her body, Shishou could only delay her death, putting her in a temporary state of suspended animation.
The healing insects worked by devouring the host's chakra and life force to heal.
So Shishou couldn't place too many healing insects in Shizune.
Otherwise, her body wouldn't be able to withstand it.
He needed Mei Terumi to stop Shizune's bleeding to buy more time.
"Just a little."
"Then stop her bleeding first."
"What about them?"
"Don't worry, I've got this."
Mei Terumi knew that Tsunade was unable to function properly.
If she also became occupied with healing Shizune,
Shishou would have to face all these enemies alone.
Mei Terumi couldn't imagine that being possible.
But seeing Shishou's determination, she decided to trust him.
She moved to Tsunade and Shizune, starting to use her rudimentary healing jutsu to stop Shizune's bleeding.
This earned a grateful look from Tsunade.
"So, what are you going to do now?"
"How well have you mastered the Flying Thunder God technique?"
"Can you take all three of them at once?"
Uchiha Obito sneered, mockingly.
Shishou knew that the Flying Thunder God technique couldn't teleport three or four people at once.
Otherwise, the Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju, wouldn't have needed to stay behind to cover for the Third Hokage and the others. He could have just taken them all away.
In the original Fourth Great Ninja War, the Flying Thunder God technique could teleport many people because the Nine-Tails chakra linked everyone together.
The key was the Nine-Tails chakra link, followed by the Flying Thunder God technique.
Shishou hadn't yet mastered the Flying Thunder God technique to the level of the Fourth Hokage. If he tried to use it to escape, he could only take one person.
The remaining two would be killed instantly by Obito and his allies.
At the same time, Shizune's condition was worsening, and without timely treatment, she wouldn't survive.
The situation was dire.
Hearing Obito's words, Shishou chuckled lightly:
"Isn't it simple?"
"I just have to defeat you all."
Uchiha Obito said menacingly, "You think you can do that!"
He pressed one hand to the ground.
Wood Release: Wood Spikes!
Dozens of sharp spikes emerged from the ground in front of him, targeting the three women behind Shishou.
Seeing Obito initiate the attack, Shishou formed hand seals and pressed his hands to the ground.
Wood Release: Wood Formation Wall!
บท 64: Chapter 64: Wood Release: Birth of the World of Trees
Wood Release: Wood Formation Wall!
A circular wooden barrier quickly formed around Tsunade, Mei Terumi, and Shizune, blocking Obito's wooden spikes.
Uchiha Obito's eyes narrowed.
Wood Release!
Mei Terumi saw the wooden wall surrounding them and was momentarily stunned, then chuckled lightly.
The Third Hokage is truly unfortunate!
As for Tsunade, her attention was entirely on Shizune, so she had no reaction.
Outside the Wood Formation Wall, Kakuzu, Black and White Zetsu, and Kisame were also stunned, their hearts filled with shock.
They hadn't expected Shishou to be able to use Wood Release as well.
"Interesting, very interesting."
"I've seen three people use Wood Release in one day."
Kisame chuckled lightly, his eyes sweeping over Uchiha Obito, Black and White Zetsu, and Shishou.
Then he looked at Kakuzu and said with a smile:
"Kakuzu, don't you have a Wood Release mask in your Earth Grudge Fear technique?"
"Hurry and show it to us."
"Hmph!" Kakuzu snorted coldly, ignoring Kisame.
He wished he did have a Wood Release mask.
Unfortunately, the complete version of Earth Grudge Fear had been lost, and he could only use the hearts of the five basic nature transformations.
"Who are you really?"
Uchiha Obito asked in a deep voice.
In this world, the only people who should be able to use Wood Release were those who had transplanted Hashirama's cells: himself and Black and White Zetsu!
Shishou didn't answer. Instead, he transformed the Chakra Bugs into threads, spreading them inside the Wood Formation Wall to provide an additional layer of protection for the three women.
"Enough with the talking."
"Let's all attack together."
Kakuzu sneered, and the Fire Release mask on his back rose, opening its mouth.
Fire Release: Head Mincing Pain!
The red-armored centipede twisted its body and, under Shishou's control, blocked Kakuzu's Fire Release.
Then, the centipede bit down on the wooden sphere containing Tsunade, Mei Terumi, and Shizune, and ran off into the distance.
At the same time, Shishou instantly appeared next to Obito, grabbing his shoulder to prevent him from entering the Kamui dimension.
Shishou had secretly placed countless Flying Thunder God seals on the ground within a few dozen meters while the centipede provided cover, allowing him to appear anywhere within that range.
With his other hand, Shishou threw five shuriken covered with Chakra Bugs at Kisame.
Simultaneously, countless Chakra Bugs emerged from Shishou's body, swarming towards the Three-Tails.
Obito, wary of Shishou's deadly poison, activated Kamui's intangibility, causing Shishou's right hand to pass through him, and warned Kisame:
"Be careful, they're poisonous!"
Kisame swung Samehada, deflecting all of Shishou's shuriken.
"Don't think you can escape!"
Seeing the centipede trying to flee, Black and White Zetsu pressed their hands to the ground, causing countless vines to block its path.
Kakuzu also pressed his hands to the ground, and countless black threads emerged, entangling the centipede with the vines, keeping it trapped and struggling.
Kisame, after deflecting the shuriken, raised Samehada high and swung it at Shishou and Obito, who were overlapping.
Before Samehada could hit them,
Shishou vanished and reappeared next to Black Zetsu, grabbing White Zetsu's arm.
The Chakra Bugs immediately began to spread across White Zetsu's arm.
Kisame's Samehada had just left Obito's body, and as Obito was about to enter the Kamui dimension, he noticed many flying insects around him.
Some of these insects overlapped with his body...
The next second, Shishou, having finished the cooldown of Flying Thunder God, reappeared beside Obito, overlapping with him again, and retrieved the insects back into the insect space.
He continued to mimic Obito's movements with his Sharingan, preventing him from escaping into the Kamui dimension.
From the fight between Obito and the Fourth Hokage,
It was clear that while maintaining intangibility, Obito couldn't use Kamui to absorb himself or others into the dimension.
Seeing Shishou's actions, Obito was furious.
His opponent understood his abilities too well!
"Ah!"
White Zetsu screamed, and Black Zetsu cut off White Zetsu's arm with a wave of his hand.
This change weakened the vines entangling the centipede, almost allowing it to break free.
Splat!
The arm covered with Chakra Bugs fell to the ground.
Seeing this, Kakuzu was shocked.
He now had a deeper understanding of Shishou's poison.
Then, Kakuzu looked at the struggling centipede, and the Lightning Release mask on his back opened its mouth.
Lightning Release: False Darkness!
A giant lightning spear instantly struck the centipede, piercing a huge hole through its tail.
Severely injured, the centipede's resistance weakened significantly.
"Roar!"
On another battlefield, the Three-Tails, whose chakra was being devoured by the swarm of Chakra Bugs, rolled on the ground, roaring in pain.
"Hmph!"
Missing his attack, Kisame snorted and formed hand seals.
Water Release: Exploding Water Colliding Wave!
A massive column of water surged from under Kisame's feet, rushing towards Shishou and Obito.
Seeing the flood coming with unstoppable force, Shishou's mouth twitched.
He hadn't used the swarm of Chakra Bugs against Kisame and Kakuzu because they were masters of the five basic nature transformations.
A single Water, Fire, or Lightning Release jutsu from them could destroy his entire swarm.
That was why he only used the Chakra Bugs for melee combat and against the Three-Tails.
But Kisame's jutsu had destroyed the ground, scattering the Flying Thunder God seals Shishou had placed there.
Facing the incoming flood, Shishou disappeared again and reappeared next to the Three-Tails.
"Roar!"
At this moment, most of the Three-Tails' chakra had been devoured by the Chakra Bugs. After roaring, it quickly shrank and reverted to its human form, the Fourth Mizukage Yagura.
Shishou quickly retracted the Chakra Bugs and reached for the unconscious Fourth Mizukage.
Spatial distortions appeared, and a hand reached out, aiming for Yagura before Shishou could grab him.
It was Obito, who had entered the Kamui dimension after Shishou left.
Shishou narrowed his eyes and changed his target to Obito's arm.
That way, when Obito grabbed the Fourth Mizukage, Shishou would also grab Obito.
"Damn it!"
Obito, inside the Kamui dimension, nearly ground his teeth to dust and quickly withdrew his arm.
Shishou carried a deadly poison and had both Wood Release and the Flying Thunder God technique.
Obito couldn't afford to let himself be caught by Shishou.
"Tch."
Seeing Obito so cowardly, Shishou clicked his tongue.
If he caught Obito, he would use the Piercing Technique immediately.
He wanted Obito to experience Shizune's pain.
Grabbing the Fourth Mizukage, Shishou left the area.
Chakra Bugs, Refeed!
A surge of energy filled Shishou's body.
It was the chakra power of the Three-Tails!
Feeling the powerful energy within him, Shishou was delighted.
With this power, he might be able to attempt that move!
Using the Flying Thunder God technique, Shishou returned to the centipede, looked at the Akatsuki members, and said coldly:
"Run for your lives!"
After speaking, Shishou formed hand seals.
A vast amount of chakra surged from his body into the ground.
The next second,
Boom~
The ground split open with a violent tremor, and countless trees and vines erupted, growing rapidly.
Wood Release: Birth of the Trees!
