章節 27: chapter 27: Fierce Battle
Looking up at the huge dragon head in the sky that was almost reaching the barrier light curtain, Aburame Ryoma murmured, "Is this Wood Release?"
Although he had gone on several missions with Baishi, both openly and secretly, and had witnessed the power of Wood Release, he had never been as surprised as he was at this moment.
At that moment, he finally understood why Lord Danzo cared so much about Baishi. Even when there was a shortage of manpower, he still allocated a whole team to him—it seemed that he was afraid that Baishi might not be able to defeat the opponent!
Just as he was stunned, a strong wind pressure hit him.
Then, his vision was filled with a dark green mass covered with dense lines, as if countless tiny vines were intertwined together. No, it was a dragon's tail formed by countless entwined vines.
The huge dragon's tail was like a wall of trees, and with unparalleled power, it rushed straight toward him and the three people around him.
"Disperse!"
Without time to think, Aburame Ryoma shouted a command, and he immediately formed a seal to perform the insect substitute technique, while the other three demonstrated their own techniques.
After a series of earthquakes, the four appeared not far away, safe and sound.
However, while they were strong enough to avoid the attack, others were not so lucky.
Although Baishi's attack was not focused on them, after the dragon's tail swept past, dirt and gravel flew everywhere, and broken branches and trees scattered about. With such a wide-ranging attack, many were easily injured.
Without waiting for them to catch their breath, Baishi once again controlled the dragon's tail and swept it toward the most seriously injured individuals.
There was another burst of flying sand and rocks, and three of the individuals were hit head-on by the dragon's tail, turning into minced meat on the spot.
Including the man who Baishi had killed instantly before, four members of the Root had now been eliminated; among the remaining twelve, four were still maintaining the barrier.
In other words, their remaining combat force was only eight people, and among them, the four special jōnin were more or less injured.
However, as members of the Root Organization who have "eliminated themselves," they would not abandon their mission due to this setback.
Under Aburame Ryoma's orders, the four special jōnin launched a suicidal attack on Baishi despite their injuries. Their only purpose was to attract his attention.
Standing on the dragon's head, Baishi looked down at the situation and easily realized their tactic, but he could not ignore the suicidal quartet.
These four no longer cared about chakra consumption or the damage to their bodies; they activated their secret techniques one after another, greatly enhancing their physical capabilities. Now, they were stepping on the dragon's body and rushing straight toward him.
If he allowed them to get close, it would definitely affect his control over the wooden dragon, so he had to stop them.
With this thought in mind, Baishi no longer hesitated. He clasped his hands together, concentrated his mental power, and carefully sensed the positions of the four.
The next moment, several vines detached from the dragon and lashed toward the four individuals at lightning speed. At the same time, the dragon's body shook, making it more difficult for them to exert force.
Pah~pah~
The vines struck two of the men and tightened instantly. A series of "cracking" sounds of bones breaking echoed, and the two men were completely turned into a pool of mud.
'Two left.'
Just as Baishi was about to exert a little more effort to deal with the remaining two, a crackling sound of electricity suddenly echoed.
Then, a slight numbness filled his body, and Baishi felt himself stiffen, even as his hair stood on end.
Fortunately, his [Constitution] attribute had exceeded 20 points, and he had the protection of chakra, so he did not suffer much damage.
In contrast, the two surviving special jōnin were electrocuted so intensely that smoke escaped from their mouths and noses. They almost fell off the dragon's body; if they had, they would have been half-crippled, if not dead.
However, even though they managed to stabilize themselves, their fate was not much better.
Before they could recover, their bodies were bound by vines controlled by Baishi, sealing their fates like those of their fallen comrades.
But at that moment, a loud shout suddenly rang out: "Now, do it!"
Hearing this, Baishi was startled and quickly gathered his attention, looking in the direction of the voice.
What he saw was a pair of eyes as black as ink. In that instant, Baishi's heart skipped a beat, and he secretly muttered "not good," attempting to turn away from the other person's gaze, but it was too late.
The next moment, his vision went completely dark. Apart from those eyes, there was nothing else, and his mind became dazed momentarily.
At that instant, Baishi realized that the other party had spoken suddenly to attract his attention and launch an illusion.
"Alas! I am still too young. I can't compare with these jōnin in combat experience. I got hit by a mistake. However..."
As his mind raced, Baishi regained his clarity and muttered to himself, "But my [Mental Resistance] is only Level V!"
The moment he came to his senses, Baishi immediately controlled the wooden dragon to dodge backwards.
Almost at the next moment, a high-pressure water jet shot out, arced, and severed half of the dragon's body. If he hadn't dodged just now, the entire dragon head would likely have been cut off.
'First, they used four cannon fodder to distract me, and then one of them took the opportunity to perform Lightning Release Ninjutsu to attack the Wood Dragon, using it as a medium to paralyze my body.
Unfortunately, I have a strong physique, and the effect was not ideal.
So, the other person took advantage of my heightened alertness, seduced me with words, and then cast an illusion on me.
At the same time, the third person performed Water Style: Water Cutting Wave, attempting to sever the dragon's head and thus break my Wood Dragon Technique.
Haha, what great coordination!
If my mental resistance weren't high enough, you might have succeeded.
Now, the three jōnin have all made their moves, so what about you, Aburame Ryoma?'
While he was deep in thought, he barely perceivable buzzing sounded from behind him. Baishi did not hesitate for a second, nor did he even look back. He simply lowered his body and submerged himself in the dragon's head.
Feeling the swarm of insects circling above him, Baishi felt fear in his heart; therefore, he did not hesitate and immediately injected the remaining chakra in his body into the wooden dragon. At the same time, he commanded the wooden dragon to absorb the chakra from the two special jōnin entangled by the vines.
In the blink of an eye, the two men turned into mummies, and countless vines sprouted on both sides of the dragon's neck where it had been cut. They squirmed, entwined with one another, and soon merged together.
Seeing the Wood Dragon's wounds healing quickly, Aburame Ryoma and others prepared to stop him.
But before they could make a move, Baishi had already acted. After merging with the wooden dragon, his control over it became much easier.
With just a thought, the wooden dragon's tail swept toward the ninja who had previously performed Water Style: Water Cutting Wave. That opponent's water technique was the greatest threat to him, and he could not allow it to be performed again.
At the same time, Baishi also directed the dragon head to lunge at the illusionist. Generally speaking, this type of ninja has weak physical fitness and could be dispatched with one blow.
Sure enough, just as Baishi had expected, the opponent's physique was indeed not strong; however, as a senior ninja, their shortcomings could not be too evident.
Thus, Baishi failed to kill the opponent with a single blow.
However, after several rounds, he still seriously injured that adversary.
Of course, he also paid a price for this: his tail was broken, and he had sustained some wounds on his body.
But it was all worth it. Feeling the weakened aura of his opponents, Baishi knew it was time to break through.
That's right, it was time to break free. He never intended to kill all the opponents with just the Wood Dragon Technique because that was unrealistic.
As elite ninjas of the Root Organization, how could they be so easy to deal with?
All he had to do was to exhaust the opponent's energy as much as possible, making them lose their ability to pursue him.
Now that this goal had been achieved, it was time to make his escape.
