Chapter 144 Nagato
"what?"
Ah Fei turned his head at an alarming angle and saw a man standing on another branch, holding a thin steel wire that was faintly visible in the sunlight.
The Root team was shocked when they saw Shisui, who was restrained by them, suddenly turned into a group of crows with scattered wings.
when?
They had always been on guard against Shisui's Sharingan, especially when they knew that he possessed the legendary eye technique called Mangekyō. They were always cautious and looked out for each other whenever they came into contact.
However, what they didn't expect was that the scene before them told them that even if they had made sufficient preparations, they were still unable to defend against Shisui's illusion.
The only thing they couldn't understand was when exactly they were infected!
"Huh? It's really the Mangekyō Sharingan! Is it the Mangekyō that is good at illusion?" Ah Fei exclaimed in surprise. Even he was able to be hit in an instant without noticing anything unusual. An ordinary Sharingan, or even an ordinary Mangekyō, can't do that.
"Don't move."
Shisui pulled the rope in his hand, and the Root team that wanted to take action suddenly froze in place, not daring to move. Because they had already seen the detonating talismans wrapped around the flashing steel wires.
If they acted rashly, these detonating tags would explode in an instant, killing them while they were trapped by the steel wires and had no space to dodge.
"Tell me your plan!"
The Sharingan in Shisui's eye sockets was spinning at high speed, and the powerful force of Yin Dun was transmitted into the mind of the enemy in front along his line of sight.
"Capture Uchiha Shisui and obtain..."
The captain of the Root team fell into the illusion cast by Shisui in just a blink of an eye. When he was about to explain the mission with lifeless eyes, he suddenly became silent and stood still like a wooden stake.
The tongue is the seal that eliminates the root cause of disaster.
The first thing Shisui thought of was the curse seal that every member of the Root organization who was loyal to Danzo had.
This curse seal can ensure that Danzo's secrets will not be leaked by these subordinates to the greatest extent. Anyone who is planted with the seal of tongue eradication will automatically be activated when mentioning Danzo's affairs and secrets, and their mouths and bodies will be bound.
"I can explain it for them!"
Ah Fei raised his hands high, and because he was still hanging upside down, his movements looked particularly strange.
"Danzo wants your Sharingan!"
Shisui turned his gaze towards Fei.
"Sharingan?"
"Yes! Your Mangekyō Sharingan!"
"Then who are you? And who is Lord Madara behind you?" Shisui glanced at the captain of the Root team who was controlled by the Seal of the Tongue, and then looked at the White Zetsu monster who had some abnormal nerves.
"I am Fei! You can call me Fei! I am a creation that was given a name by Madara-sama!"
Ah Fei's body fell from the tree branch, and he flipped in mid-air, but his feet slipped on the branch and he almost fell off the branch. He quickly hugged the branch under him with his arms, and then he raised his face on the branch and faced the water stop opposite.
"You haven't told me yet, who is Lord Madara?" Shisui asked, ignoring Afei's monkey-like behavior.
"It's really strange, Madara-sama is Madara-sama!" A Fei looked at Shisui with strange eyes, "As a descendant of the Uchiha clan, you don't even know Madara-sama who came from the Uchiha clan?"
"What did you say?"
Even with Shisui's calmness, he was stunned for a moment after hearing what Afei said. Because of Uchiha Madara's death, Shisui did not associate "Madara-sama" mentioned by Afei with Uchiha Madara.
A black shadow climbed silently to where Shishui was standing, and at the moment when Shishui was distracted, it seized the opportunity to connect with Shishui's shadow.
Shadow Binding Technique!
"A ninja from the Nara clan?"
Shisui, who felt that he was losing control of his body, looked at a Root member in the Root team who was wearing a mask and making hand seals.
It's now!
The remaining team at the root that was still able to move took the opportunity to break free from the steel wire and launched an attack on Shisui.
But the one who moved the fastest was Ah Fei, who had been smiling and looked harmless.
Several tree branches were controlled by Ah Fei like giant snakes and rolled towards Zhishui, blocking his vision and bringing fatal attacks.
boom!
The tree branches smashed down one after another like whips, and the area where Shisui was located was suddenly under an impenetrable attack.
Wind blades, fire escape, and wood escape were poured down on Shisui's feet in an instant.
Broken branches and leaves were spread all around along with the air waves.
"Be careful, his breath is still there!"
Ah Fei noticed something was wrong at the first moment, and his body quickly teleported between the trees he created.
More than a thousand energy arrows came down from the sky like rain of light, sweeping the area covered by the rain of light with loud explosions.
The vigorous vitality and tenacity of Wood Release could only hold out for a moment under the attack of the rain of light. It was transformed into the purest energy and was completely disintegrated under the cover of the rain of light.
By the time the light rain disappeared, a circular open space had been cleared in the covered area. In a deep pit on the ground, a sphere made of shadows was the first to collapse and broke into pieces. Then a black swarm of insects also fell down, and their corpses covered the ground.
The Nara member of the Root who used the shadow secret technique has fallen to the ground. The previous attack has already put him under tremendous pressure and exhaustion.
He turned his head to look at Shisui, who landed lightly from the sky with some kind of energy halo surrounding his body. Seeing the other person's calm face, his heart sank completely.
No matter what, the brilliant attack just now was comparable to the lethality and destructive power of A-level ninjutsu in terms of power alone. If the large-scale light rain curtain was taken into account, no one present would refute the statement that it was a destructive ninjutsu comparable to S-level.
There are always people who can make a seemingly ordinary ninjutsu play a devastating power. Their team is considered an elite team in the Root Organization, and they have completed many difficult missions for Danzo. They have also seen many extremely dangerous opponents in the missions. But none of them can be like Shisui in front of them, who exudes a kind of pressure that makes them tremble all over. The momentum of the opponent is like a substance that presses on them and their hearts.
People with weak wills, seeing Shisui at this moment, might be like an ordinary wild beast seeing a giant beast more terrifying than its natural enemy. They would be terrified to the point of having their livers and gallbladders broken and their souls unstable!
This kind of pressure is enough to make people lose their will to fight, or even turn around and run away, even without taking action.
Ah Fei emerged from the ground next to the Root Team. Just before the wave of light rain landed on the ground, he realized something was wrong and used his magic to teleport between the trees, avoiding the range covered by the light rain.
He no longer had that cynical and cheerful vibe at the moment, but instead looked a lot calmer, as if he had changed his consciousness.
"Isn't it the Mangekyo technique?" Ah Fei looked at Shisui, who still had three magatama, but his perception of both the energy and the degree of danger were instantly raised to more than one level, and he also felt it was a bit tricky.
You can’t take it back, Lord Madara!
Looking at Ah Fei, who was surrounded by green light and pointed the bow and arrow at him, he groaned while the sense of crisis was warning him frantically.
If I fail to complete the task, will I be scolded when I go back?
Wood escape·Wooden spindle wall!
Although he was lamenting in his mind, Ah Fei's movements did not slow down at all. Layer after layer of semi-conical wood escape barriers rose in front of him, protecting him and the Root team layer by layer.
After accumulating power at this moment, the increasingly dazzling arrow of light on Shisui's bowstring flew out as he let go.
The accumulated power of the arrow vibrated, plowing a deep groove in the ground along the way, and then collided with the wooden ingot wall summoned by Ah Fei.
The arrow directly penetrated the wall of the wooden ingot, and then dazzling thunder burst out before black shadows flashed out.
The members of the Root Team who were swept by the branches spread by the thunder fell from mid-air to the ground, twitching all over.
Only the Nara people who protected themselves with their shadows and the Aburame members who wrapped themselves with insects were able to stand up from the ground quickly.
As for the captain of the Root Team, whose seal of eradicating the tongue had not yet been removed, and a Root member who was good at sealing techniques, they were directly hit by the thunder, and their bodies exuded the smell of meat.
Ah Fei, who had extremely keen perception, was once again frantically reminded by his own perception and dodged in advance.
"It's a little tricky."
Ah Fei looked at Shisui who was turning the bow and arrow again with some fear, as if he had instantly sensed his location and felt a little at a loss.
He madly injected chakra into the trees that grew from the tree world beneath his feet. Under the infusion of Afei Wood Release's chakra, the trees that were born from the tree world began to grow and reproduce again.
The sturdy tree trunks with lush branches rise from the ground one by one and spread out in groups around.
The empty space cleared by the light rain was soon occupied by a dense forest again. The entire forest that had come alive madly attacked all living things around them.
Including the root team, they were all attacked by the sea of trees. They only resisted for a few times before they were submerged by the layers of branches and twigs, and were trapped in the gaps between the tree trunks and finally buried.
Shisui quickly dodged the branches coming from all directions. His Sharingan and movements were already at their best, with the three-magatama magatama spinning in circles in his eye sockets.
"This is not an opponent that can be easily defeated."
The bow in Shisui's hand turned into a sword like an arrow. After cutting through the branches that were curled over one by one, he retreated while making a guess in his mind.
The opponent's Wood Release attainment has far exceeded the Wood Release of the people in Konoha Village. At least Shisui did not feel the same pressure from the Wood Release ninjas in the village.
The tree trunks were like steel, extremely tough. Ordinary weapons would only leave a white mark when they chopped them down. Even ninjas who were good at wind escape techniques and had chakra weapons would be swallowed up by the expanding sea of trees in an instant when faced with the endless and overlapping sea of trees.
In particular, the sea of trees has the ability to absorb chakra. Once it is wrapped up, any branch of the sea of trees can play a role similar to a sealing technique.
Ninjutsu has little effect on the sea of trees.
Shisui used the Fire Release Ninjutsu, and watched the sea of fire-like Ninjutsu being engulfed by the sea of trees, and then rushing up with an even crazier momentum. Shisui tried several other Ninjutsu, but found that they were still ineffective, and felt helpless.
The destructive power of the Collapsing Jade Mode is sufficient, but the opponent is very cunning and can teleport back and forth in the sea of trees, making it impossible to determine his whereabouts.
Now he didn't even show his head, just waiting for Shisui to be swallowed by the expanding sea of trees.
Shisui is not worried about his own safety while in the Hougyoku mode, but his current control over and maintenance time of the Hougyoku mode is a huge disadvantage.
If he cannot eliminate the enemy before the Collapsing Jade Mode ends, or break through the sea of trees, his situation will become very embarrassing.
Do you want to open the Mangekyo and use Susanoo for a desperate fight?
Shisui felt the chakra and the power of Hogyoku in his body and hesitated. He activated the Mangekyo + Hogyoku mode. If he couldn't end the battle in a few breaths, his situation would start to get worse.
His chakra amount was not small, but the enemy on the other side had an astonishing chakra amount like the tailed beast! Such an amazing ninjutsu consumed a huge amount of chakra. But the sea of trees was still madly entwining and surrounding him, binding him tightly in the sea of trees.
Shisui's light rain and attacks can quickly clear out a large open space, but the next moment, this cleared space will be occupied by wildly growing trees again, filling the space again.
In the competition of energy consumption, it is undoubtedly that Ah Fei has the absolute upper hand. Although Shisui has not yet shown a disadvantage, both of them know that the longer the time drags on, the more the balance of victory will tilt towards the one with more energy.
"Why fight? You won't survive if you return to Konoha." Afei's voice sounded from a tree, and a head popped out of a tree near Shisui.
The lightsaber swept across, transforming into dense arrows that shattered the tree where Ah Fei was. However, what was destroyed was only one of Ah Fei's clones.
Ah Fei was still creating wooden clones, constantly harassing Shisui's will with words.
Just as the two were facing each other, a powerful force descended from the sky.
The spreading shock wave cleared out a space among the surrounding trees and created a semicircular hole in the ground.
"Wow, a new member appears halfway." Ah Fei looked at the attire of the newcomer and the face that seemed familiar to him, and his temperament suddenly turned cold.
"Nagato?"
