Although the impact was minimal, Onoki's face wrinkled as he supported his rickety waist. A distinct "click" echoed, prompting a grimace of pain. His already delicate waist suffered further from the wooden dragon's blow, nearly breaking under the strain.
Natsu Uchiha's remaining three wooden clones immediately shifted their focus to where the Fourth Raikage and Onoki were sent flying by the wooden dragon technique. Seizing the moment, the original wooden clone, controlled by Uchiha Natsu, swiftly executed the substitution technique right after activating the technique of stripping the original world. Another wooden clone took its place, effectively switching positions.
At this juncture, the original wooden clone stood in the center, assessing the different injuries inflicted upon Raikage and Tsuchikage on either side. The Fourth Raikage, wiping blood from the corner of his mouth, discovered that all of Konoha's individuals had vanished during the attack—they had successfully escaped.
Fueled by anger, the Fourth Raikage denounced, "This group of despicable villains!" However, Uchiha Natsu's eyes gleamed with realization. The main body, hidden underground, had retrieved the stolen corpse and acquired a formidable ninjutsu—Ninjutsu.
Looking towards Yugito, Uchiha Natsu's wooden clone, encased in a wooden ball, released the other two wooden clones. With the replenished chakra, he intensified efforts to extract the two-tailed Chakra, swiftly forming seals with both hands.
"Wood Release: Wood Human Technique!"
Amidst the screams of Yugito, Uchiha Natsu controlled the wooden clone, placing its hand on a nearby big tree. In an instant, the colossal tree grew rapidly, transforming into a gigantic wooden man within breaths. This humanoid creature with a full body and an oni-like face is usually created with a wooden dragon wrapped around its torso.
Hiruzen Sarutobi, observing from a distance, immediately recognized this ninjutsu. It was the Jutsu of Wood Human, a technique that once defeated Uchiha Madara under the first Hokage's control during the era of Senju Hashirama. The specific details of that encounter remained shrouded in mystery, but the final outcome was clear—Uchiha Madara was defeated by Senju Hashirama.
This revelation stirred emotions in those witnessing the legendary technique. Hiruzen Sarutobi disclosed, "This Akira Senju is using all the wood dungeon techniques of the first generation Hokage"
Contemplating the situation, Hiruzen recalled a past event when he entrusted Danzo with the first generation's wooden ninjutsu scroll. The scroll, never returned after the banned experiment, contained the sole record of the first generation's wooden escape ninjutsu. Now, witnessing the deployment of these ancient techniques by Akira Senju, Hiruzen grew uneasy about the root's involvement.
While Akira's performance on the battlefield indicated a show of strength, the primary targets were the Fourth Raikage and Tsuchikage Onoki. Hiruzen deduced Danzo's strategy—to repel immediate threats before focusing on the disappearing Konoha forces. The attack on Konoha, in turn, aimed to divert Hokage's attention and create an illusion of an unrelated threat.
As the battle unfolded, Uchiha Natsu's wooden clone, now in control of the original wooden clone, extracted Chakra from Yugito. With the restored Chakra, he initiated the "Wood Escape, the Art of Wood Human." Sarutobi Hiruzen, continuing to observe, narrowed his eyes, contemplating the identity of Akira Senju.
On the battlefield, the Fourth Raikage and Tsuchikage Onoki, witnessing the emergence of the colossal wooden man, displayed serious expressions. Beyond the impressive power of the Wooden Human Jutsu, their astonishment extended to the abundance of the Wooden Ninja's Chakra.
The Fourth Raikage noted, "This person still looks very relaxed, and his chakra is much more than mine!" Onoki, observing the figure entwined by the wooden dragon, had an epiphany. He realized that the Wooden Ninja relied on absorbing Yugito's Chakra to attain such extraordinary power.
Determined to counteract, Onoki declared, "I will use the dust escape to defeat the wooden dragon!" The battlefield brimmed with tension as the clash between the ancient Wooden Human technique and the formidable Raikage and Tsuchikage continued.
