Chapter 119: Your Dance Is Still Far From Enough (Happy New Year)

"You……"

Yuzhi's words instantly made Da Ye Mu's complexion change a bit.

With that tone and demeanor, it was hard for him not to make some "connected associations."

Especially that line "two‑day board" little brat, it really made him lose his composure; at his age, anyone in the ninja world who could still call him a little brat would basically already be dead!

"Could it be……"

Da Ye Mu clenched his fists, but his gaze turned to the other side, where the mysterious Uchiha stood atop the Four‑Tails.

That guy had taken control of the Four‑Tails, even forcibly doing so despite the presence of a jinchuriki.

Such a thing is baffling no matter how you look at it, and anyone capable of this cannot possibly be a weakling!

But soon, Da Ye Mu's heart hardened; he glared at Yuzhi and Hikari, then shouted loudly:

"You two, stop right there; do you really think that just because you have a bit of power you can do whatever you want?"

"Or do you think you can just put on a show and actually act like gods and trick spirits?"

Da Ye Mu's words were righteous, and he had already entered combat mode; that surging momentum was intimidating to all who saw it.

"We need to act a bit faster; this rare chance must not be missed."

Yuzhi was a little speechless upon hearing him, because the guy was actually right.

But now Yuzhi cannot back down no matter what; besides, neither he nor Hikari lack advantages, so the two of them could completely "fight and retreat"!

If the situation is unfavorable, a direct Shinobi Might display would let them make a glorious exit.

What Kakashi could notice, Da Ye Mu naturally also noticed, and he muttered a curse under his breath.

"Besides, Da Ye Mu's chakra doesn't seem to be his strong point."

Yuzhi pondered, but at that moment he suddenly saw a flash of white light.

Kakashi looked up at the mysterious figure still standing calmly atop the Four‑Tails with arms crossed over his chest.

Da Ye Mu suddenly looked up and saw the sky turn gloomy; a massive fireball, like a falling meteor, surged toward them!

The ground trembled lightly, mist swirled, rampant chakra spread continuously, and Yuzhi fell to the ground at that moment.

In an instant, a scorching white beam shot out, its column seeming to melt everything!

Boom—

The booming sound echoed through the forest, and the forest that surrounded the Four‑Tails was cleaved in half by the white light.

Kakashi muttered silently in his mind, while Da Ye Mu stared intently ahead.

Da Ye Mu's ferocity was unbelievable; his Dust Release swept away about twenty‑plus four‑stage Susanos.

"Don't underestimate us, Earth Release·Earth Flow Wall!"

Moreover, he could sense that many ninjas from afar had begun to surround them; as expected, people from Rock Village were arriving!

Seeing the massive fireball, Da Ye Mu waved his hand quickly, and Huang Tu formed hand seals with both hands.

He muttered a curse; although Da Ye Mu's actions were beyond reproach, the power of Dust Release was truly frightening.

But without Tsunade's chakra support, he couldn't have released that Dust Release.

Just watching the fireball, Huang Tu felt a slight worry, but at that moment two figures suddenly appeared beside them.

"Let this old man completely remove your ugly masks, Dust Release·Primordial Realm Peeling Technique!"

Smoke and dust scattered, and a terrifying chakra aura spread continuously, as if to melt everything!

"But the enemy should have already evaded."

"That was really dangerous."

"Water Release·Water Formation Wall!"

Although he didn't expect a single Dust Release to end the battle, the opponent's seemingly indifferent attitude still made him uneasy.

"Above!"

But hitting him with Dust Release was indeed difficult; even if he had to disguise a bit, pretending he dodged.

"Everyone disperse!"

Fire Release·Great Fire Extinguish is already a technique more powerful than Great Fire Extinguish, and under Yuzhi's control it was fully unleashed.

Da Ye Mu's attack was fierce, but in the end it also missed the Four‑Tails.

"Sage Art·Water Formation Wall!"

The raging water and the massive earth wall intertwined, and at the instant the fireball fell, a huge boom and a sky‑blocking plume of steam instantly enveloped the whole forest!

"But can I hold out until then?"

"But, who exactly are these two?"

Although worried, Da Ye Mu still shouted a reminder, his complexion changing slightly at that instant.

"Got any backup?"

The mist still lingered, but a light breeze began to disperse it, and faintly Yuzhi saw two more silhouettes appear beside Da Ye Mu and Huang Tu.

"Everyone focus, be careful!"

Da Ye Mu roared, and at that moment his blood, surpassing the blood inheritance limit, erupted violently.

But the current situation seemed to be beyond his expectations.

With Huang Tu's chakra erupting, a massive slanted earth wall rose from the ground, blocking them.

Although the Four‑Tails was still controlled, it was still their Rock Village's creation, after all.

"Did you dodge? Damn it!"

Yuzhi quickly thought of why he had let this mission reach such a level.

Besides the reward, he also wanted to train himself properly while ensuring safety!

Combat is the fastest way for the Uchiha to improve, especially for the Sharingan; only constant battles can make mastery more refined.

He already feels that he is not far from activating Zhuo Er Extraordinary!

Moreover, what he's doing is also the future of the ninja world, pre‑emptively helping everyone grasp Madara Uchiha's terrifying nature—where can you find a good person like him?

"Sage Art: Chaotic Lion Release Technique!"

While Yuzhi was pondering, a swath of white hair suddenly howled toward him!

"Ziraiye? Using Sage Mode?"

Yuzhi raised an eyebrow; he already clearly sensed Ziraiye's sage technique chakra.

However, he was not surprised—having used sage technique chakra himself, how could Ziraiye not react?

He instantly sprang up, but at that moment two figures, one ahead and one behind, had already closed in before him.

"You pretentious freak, die!"

Huang Tu moved at lightning speed, his fist already transformed into rock.

"Earth Release: Fist Rock!"

And as he threw the punch, Yuzhi heard a thunderous sound behind him, like a chorus of Chidori.

Hearing that sound, Yuzhi didn't need to turn around to know it was Kakashi!

"What a hassle."

He let out a cold hum in his mind, yet Yuzhi showed no sign of panic; his chakra quivered slightly.

The dragon vein, the Nine-Tails, and his own chakra instantly fused, and a burst of purple chakra instantly manifested on him.

Skeleton bones instantly cloaked his entire body, Susanoo's arm extended, and he immediately hurled a fist at Huang Tu!

Boom—

A powerful impact sound suddenly rang out as Huang Tu's and Susanoo's fists collided heavily!

Under the massive impact, an invisible vortex of air spread, as if the air before them had been compressed into a vacuum at that instant.

Sizzle—

Kakashi's Chidori arrived as expected, but Yuzhi did not attend to Kakashi this time.

The Chidori struck Susanoo, causing no damage at all!

Under the powerful impact, Huang Tu's body was suddenly flung like a cannonball, and Kakashi was likewise hurled outward by the force.

"Earth Release: Rock Arm!"

Yet at that moment, Da Ye Mu instantly acted, the massive hand rising from the ground to catch the two.

Only Kakashi's condition was relatively better, while Huang Tu's side had the entire Rock Arm shattered!

"This kind of power..."

Da Ye Mu muttered under his breath, but this brief clash also considerably thinned the surrounding moisture.

Da Ye Mu stared at the purple Susanoo, and couldn't help slipping into contemplation.

Although its color differed greatly from his memory, he didn't overthink it at that moment.

Yet he also felt an extra drive; he must remove the mask of the person before him!

"Do you want two against four?"

As the surrounding moisture fully dissipated, Yuzhi's figure emerged.

He glanced at the four solemn onlookers, then lightly shook his head, his tone turning slightly teasing.

"Rest assured, we won't call you despicable, although we have little time left."

"But your actions are also good, because this."

"We can also be a bit more serious now!"

"Serious?"

Da Ye Mu, Ziraiye, and the other two heard Yuzhi's words, and their faces turned oddly pale for a moment.

Although they fundamentally disagreed with Yuzhi's words, whether it was the massive Susanoo or the fully controlled Four-Tails behind them…

This proves one thing: those two are no ordinary foes; we must go all out to end the battle quickly!

"But what does he mean by 'little time'?"

The four would not forget Yuzhi's earlier words, yet at this moment Yuzhi gave them no room to ponder.

"Fire Release: Great Fire Extinguish!"

"Careful, this isn't ordinary Fire Release; it contains sage technique chakra!"

Ziraiye, seeing Yuzhi act, immediately shouted a warning, and formed hand seals with both hands.

"Sage Art: Earth Flow Wall!"

Ziraiye had long sensed that natural chakra aura, yet he couldn't comprehend it.

"A Uchiha actually using sage technique, and even Wood Release—what kind of person is this?"

Boom—

A booming roar suddenly rang out, and aside from the direction defended by Ziraiye, the rest was instantly engulfed in flames.

"Find a way to deal with the guy atop the Four-Tails, and give me some time; I can use Dust Release to end the battle!"

Da Ye Mu didn't waste words; his entire body suddenly floated, and by the moment the flames ceased, he had completed the seal.

"Prepare, Dust Release: Primordial Realm Separation!"

White light flickered, and Dust Release instantly surged, hurtling straight toward Yuzhi.

"Hmph."

Watching the dazzling white light, Yuzhi let out a light hum, then flashed away; moments later his speed exploded as he charged straight at Da Ye Mu and the others.

"Da Ye Mu can fly, and his Dust Release is also a threat; if he gets close to your son, I think…"

"Leaf Village's, you hurry up!"

Da Ye Mu let out a loud shout, but in that instant Yuzhi was already in front of him.

"That fast?"

Da Ye Mu was startled in his heart, and at that moment Yuzhi had already swung a fist!

Da Ye Mu's reaction was also lightning‑fast; he pulled his body quickly backward, while Huang Tu roared and hurled a punch.

"Childish."

But at that moment Yuzhi's eyes shifted slightly, and his power suddenly surged.

Bang—

"This kind of power."

Accompanied by a muffled thud, Huang Tu's face turned pale instantly; he felt his arm was about to snap.

"Good opportunity!"

Da Ye Mu, though pained by his own big mistake, still grasped an opportunity in that instant.

"Earth Release: Yellow Spring Swamp!"

In that instant he had already completed the hand seal; at such close range he wouldn't dare use Dust Release, and the immediate priority was to control that guy.

Under his precise control, the ground beneath Yuzhi instantly turned into a swamp, but it didn't spread to anyone else!

The chakra‑filled swamp caused Yuzhi's body to start sinking, and its powerful suction gave him an illusion of being unable to escape.

"Petty trick."

But Yuzhi didn't pay much attention; the instant he felt himself falling, he suddenly formed a hand seal with one hand.

A wooden rod shot out from within the swamp and lifted Yuzhi up.

He couldn't help but glance back slightly, because he saw Kakashi and Ziraiye both dash out.

"Going to find Hikari?"

Yuzhi was somewhat worried about Hikari's situation; after all, Hikari controlled a tailed beast, and Yuzhi feared Hikari might suffer in this fight.

"Dare to zone out while fighting us?"

Suddenly, Huang Tu let out a loud roar, and Da Ye Mu's hand was already on Huang Tu's shoulder.

"Earth Release: Super Heavy Rock Technique!"

Sensing movement behind him, Yuzhi instantly turned, and in that instant his eyes met Huang Tu's.

Buzz—

The bizarre chakra ran wild; this time Yuzhi didn't choose Susanoo, but opted for a simpler method.

"Damn, it's a genjutsu!"

Da Ye Mu instantly realized his big mistake, and the hand he had on Huang Tu used chakra again to interfere, while his other hand maintained the seal.

"Earth Release: Rock Arm!"

In the blink of an eye, a giant hand materialized just as Yuzhi's scythe was about to strike Huang Tu, firmly blocking Huang Tu!

Immediately, Da Ye Mu pulled Huang Tu up, and both quickly created distance.

"What kind of person is this guy?"

As they separated, Da Ye Mu muttered angrily in his mind.

Although it was only a simple collision, Da Ye Mu gathered a lot of information.

"This guy is fast, strong, adept at genjutsu, and can also use Susanoo, this guy"

But after he compiled the information, he could no longer contain himself.

Damn, aren't these exactly Madara Uchiha's traits?

If only we could see the face beneath the mask and that purple Susanoo, I'd almost be sure who this guy is!

Of course, there's a big discrepancy, namely what kind of "Immortal Technique" Ziraiye said this guy can use.

"And he also has Wood Release; what kind of monster is this?"

Da Ye Mu felt uneasy; he really wanted to use Dust Release to eliminate that guy outright.

But he also knew he couldn't misuse Dust Release; the guy's speed is so high that if he missed, everything would be wasted.

Moreover, Dust Release consumes a huge amount of chakra, and if he uses it recklessly now, he won't have a chance later.

"Huang Tu, prepare yourself; now you're in charge of the main attack."

Da Ye Mu made up his mind and stared at Huang Tu with utmost seriousness.

"No reckless sentiment allowed; this guy might become the most dangerous enemy you—or even I—have ever faced!"

"This"

Huang Tu still felt lingering fear; earlier he had almost no room to resist before falling for the genjutsu, and without his father he would have died!

Nevertheless, he nodded seriously, determined not to miss the chance for revenge.

Boom—

But at that moment the ground trembled slightly, and the Four-Tails' roar became deafening!

Looking back, amidst the smoke and dust, a gigantic toad hanging a pipe suddenly appeared. —

"What a boring guy."

Standing atop the Four-Tails, Hikari simultaneously controlled Lao Zi and the Four-Tails.

Such control is truly difficult, but just right for Hikari, and it also gives her Sharingan some training.

During the stable control, she also watched Yuzhi's performance.

She didn't know why, but listening to his words and watching his actions, Hikari always wanted to step forward and give the guy two punches.

Too much show.

Hikari thought of the term she often used to evaluate some people, and now she felt that term fit her perfectly!

This guy, as soon as he puts on the mask, seems to have let himself go free; although she acknowledges he has this ability and qualification, she always feels weird looking at him.

"Forget it, anyway he's pretending to be someone else; perhaps this is what he calls the 'actor's self-cultivation'?"

Yuzhi and Hikari have imparted many strange words; Hikari has also remembered quite a few of them.

But she now also can't be bothered to look at Yuzhi; she knows that Yuzhi guy has a technique called Kamui.

Under the protection of this technique, as long as Yuzhi doesn't think he's invincible like that lunatic and then go wild.

Or when dealing with those who know the ins and outs and weaknesses of this technique, it's indeed somewhat difficult to injure him.

Huh?

But just then, Hikari suddenly noticed that Ziraiye and Kakashi had passed Yuzhi, all coming over to her side.

"Is this to find me?"

Hikari tilted her head, but she had no worry at all; on the contrary, she faintly felt some anticipation.

"Perfect for testing the results of hermit technique!"

"To ensure the operation goes smoothly and avoid unexpected complications, they used hermit technique regardless of whether they sensed ninja."

"The fusion of one's own chakra with natural chakra can, to some extent, alter the aura of one's own chakra."

Moreover, Yuzhi also mixed in Nine-Tails chakra, which further changed his aura.

At this moment, Hikari really felt some emotion that Yuzhi went and snatched back the dragon vein chakra.

If there were no dragon vein chakra, the hermit technique chakra that Yuzhi refined would hardly be enough for them to consume for so long.

"However, after returning we must definitely seal these chakra into Susanoo more quickly; that would also be more convenient."

While thinking in her heart, Hikari directly controlled the Four-Tails to move!

Whoa——

The Four-Tails let out a roar, its fists heavily swinging at Ziraiye and Kakashi.

Under the tremendous force, the ground rumbled, but such an attack was no problem for Ziraiye and Kakashi.

"Spirit Summoning Technique!"

While Ziraiye avoided the attack, he also completed the hand seals.

With the rumbling of the earth, the figure of Gamabunta appeared in this forest!

"Four-Tails? Ziraiye, what are you up to again?"

The moment Gamabunta appeared, he saw the huge Four-Tails and immediately shouted his displeasure.

"Gamabunta, you take on the Four-Tails; we'll deal with the person controlling it!"

Ziraiye had no nonsense at all, not caring whether Gamabunta would answer or not, he already charged ahead.

"You bastard!"

Gamabunta's face was full of anger, but he didn't really ignore Ziraiye's meaning.

Drawing his blade, Gamabunta lunged fiercely at the Four-Tails!

"What a huge toad"

Hikari also found the situation somewhat surprising, but she quickly controlled the Four-Tails to go straight at Gamabunta.

Although the Four-Tails had begun to resist, this made it hard for Hikari to exert its full power.

However, she didn't need to worry; using the Four-Tails just to restrain was enough, and her attention fell on Kakashi and Ziraiye.

The two of them seized this opening and rushed toward the Four-Tails' body!

"Hermit technique: Fire Dragon Flame Bomb!"

"Fire Release?"

Hikari slightly raised her brow, her eyes quickly turning, the temperature in the sky suddenly rose.

"Amaterasu!"

Jet-black flames appeared out of nowhere, instantly intercepting Ziraiye's Fire Dragon Flame Bomb.

Amaterasu is already powerful, and Amaterasu stained with natural chakra is even more extraordinary!

Moreover, Hikari at this moment also raised one hand, the Amaterasu flames suddenly expanded, and the Fire Dragon Flame Bomb became its nourishment at that time.

These Amaterasu flames rapidly spun, like a hurricane sweeping toward Ziraiye!

"This kind of flame?"

Ziraiye's face slightly changed; he realized this person seemed not to care at all about hurting the Four-Tails.

But now he doesn't have time to think further; the Four-Tails is already fighting with Gamabunta, and its body is constantly moving.

This also counts as helping Ziraiye, allowing him to better evade these flames.

"Thousand Birds!"

Having just repelled Ziraiye, the sound of Thousand Birds quietly appeared behind Hikari.

Only see Kakashi already arrived behind her, his hand's arc continuously emitting a 'sizzle' sound.

In an instant, he fiercely stabbed toward Hikari!

Childish.

Hikari quickly turned, her figure extremely swift; almost at the moment Kakashi attacked, she also reached out her hand!

Just like future Itachi Uchiha dealing with Sasuke, Hikari precisely grabbed Kakashi's wrist, rendering him unable to move for a moment.

Not bad eyes, huh? But you don't seem to know how to use them.

Hikari looked at Kakashi before her, she adjusted her voice into a cold male tone, yet seemed to be teasing Kakashi.

Hmph!

And Kakashi merely gave a cold snort; immediately, his Thousand Birds, with brilliant arcs, began to spread across his whole body!

"Thousand Birds Style!"

"Hm?"

Hikari frowned; she actually knows Kakashi's abilities and also knows the Chidori technique.

However, she didn't expect that Kakashi seemed to have slightly improved the technique, turning it into a combined offense‑defense technique.

"Is the Yin Seal having some effect?"

Hikari remembers Yuzhi saying that because of Kakashi's Sharingan, his own chakra couldn't keep up at all.

Now he dares to make such improvements to the technique, which probably indicates that Kakashi has made some progress.

"Unfortunately, it's not from the Sharingan."

Hikari gently shook her head, and the next moment her figure flashed; finding the right angle, she kicked Kakashi.

"Hm?"

Ziraiye, who had just charged in from the other side, suddenly saw Kakashi lunging toward him, and for a moment he was also taken aback.

He caught Kakashi with one hand, leapt backward swiftly, and finally landed steadily on Bunta's head.

At that moment, their expressions grew even uglier, because Wood Release power was raging around them—

"What on earth is going on with this guy?"

While the Four-Tails tangled with Bunta, Hikari dealt with Ziraiye and Kakashi, Yuzhi also fought the Oonoki father‑son duo!

Yuzhi was extremely agile; Oonoki knew he could never lock onto him, so he couldn't use Dust Release.

He could only let his strong son take the main attack, while he continuously adjusted the "Super Heavy Rock Technique" and the "Super Light‑Heavy Rock Technique".

These adjustments gave Huang Tu's attacks an unimaginable boost; even seemingly ordinary strikes generated a gust of wind and a faint sonic boom.

Yet Yuzhi's performance gave no quarter; no matter how Oonoki adjusted, Yuzhi could keep up!

This also made Oonoki's mood increasingly heavy; in his view, this guy almost had no weakness, and

"Could it really be Madara Uchiha?"

The thing Oonoki didn't know was that Yuzhi was also not feeling well!

In this operation, he almost used every method at his disposal.

He not only remained in Sage Mode, but also maxed out his Divine Direct Power.

This made his strength and burst power reach a level even his balanced state hadn't dared to imagine!

As a result, he already felt a vague pain in his eyes.

"The power usage of Divine Direct Power is too great; the consumption turned out like this."

Yuzhi muttered to himself, but he didn't mind.

"Fortunately, my... has improved, my eye power is still abundant, and my recovery is decent; that's enough for me to splurge."

Yuzhi has an accurate assessment of himself, but he also sighed, wishing he could reach this strength daily!

"Also, compared to the original Madara, which stage am I at now?"

Yuzhi muttered to himself, but he quickly stopped thinking further.

Anyway, even if it's Madara, without Fifth‑Stage Susanoo protection, or directly becoming a Rinnegan, he still couldn't withstand Dust Release!

"Die!"

While Yuzhi was pondering, Huang Tu's speed suddenly surged thanks to the "Super Light‑Heavy Rock Technique."

In an instant he rushed to Yuzhi's flank and hammered a punch at him!

"Earth Release: Rock Fist Technique!"

Buzz—

Under the punch, the air seemed to tremble slightly.

Huang Tu himself is a powerful ninja; with Oonoki's support, his strength became even more terrifying!

"Hmph!"

Yuzhi let out a cold snort; he had no intention of dodging, and his Susanoo suddenly expanded.

Fighting these two, he naturally couldn't rely on sheer size; he had already activated the most basic Susanoo for some defense.

But the current attack forced him to raise the level of his Susanoo.

"Although Huang Tu can't match the Fourth Raikage, this guy's power isn't a joke."

In the original, the Fourth Raikage, with Oonoki's help, shattered Susanoo with a single punch.

Huang Tu can't compare to the Fourth Raikage, so he had no intention of dodging!

Boom—

A deafening boom suddenly rang, echoing the commotion from the Four-Tails and Bunta's battle behind them.

Visible energy shockwaves rippled rapidly among them; Huang Tu's face turned pale at that moment.

He seemed to hear a "Clack!" from his arm; unsurprisingly, his hand was probably broken!

And Susanoo, struck by that punch, sprouted dense cracks, yet it didn't collapse at that moment.

The energy impact continued, and the next second Huang Tu was instantly flung backward!

"Dust Release: Limitless Shear!"

At that moment, Oonoki shot up quickly, and a white glow reappeared in his hand!

The suffocating chakra continuously condensed in his hand.

Boom—

Scorching white light flickered, the seemingly world‑shattering force poured violently into the ground.

The ground wildly collapsed at that moment; it was clear Oonoki was truly going berserk!

Under that scorching white light, Oonoki couldn't help but close his eyes slightly, but after a moment he suddenly halted.

Susanoo's Dust Release attack had already collapsed, yet the figure within Susanoo vanished without a trace!

As expected of Dust Release, it's really dangerous.

Dayemu also was a bit out of breath, but just then Yuzhi's voice sounded from not far away.

Following the sound, Dayemu's complexion looked even worse; this guy seemed completely unharmed.

This made Dayemu grit his teeth while wondering in his heart, just how fast is this guy's speed?

It was as if he had teleported; I simply couldn't hit him!

"Who exactly are you?"

Dayemu gritted his teeth and asked, while Huangtu also stumbled back in a sorry state, this guy looking particularly disheveled.

"What I am is none of your business, and you don't need to inquire about such matters."

Yuzhi lightly shook his head; he too now wished he could just catch his breath a bit.

If it weren't for my own speed, I would really be in trouble this time.

His mood right now was truly not good; this kind of battle that squeezes his limits, he could indeed feel his blood as if boiling!

He maintained a calm tone while looking at Dayemu, then shook his head and said.

"Although I really want to continue, after all I haven't had my fill, but some things truly are beyond my control."

"What do you mean?"

Dayemu frowned and asked, while Yuzhi lightly shook his head.

"You'll know soon enough, but I still need to continue with what I have to do.

"After all, beasts should wear collars, right?"

"Beast, collar?"

Suddenly, Dayemu understood something, he quickly formed seals and shouted angrily.

"As expected, your goal is the Four-Tails; don't even dream about it!"

"Earth Release: Stone Giant!"

Dayemu's chakra madly condensed, and the earth trembled again at this moment.

Amid the rumbling, a stone giant silently rose from the ground; Dayemu and Huangtu stood on its head, rushing quickly toward Wentai's direction!

"Boring."

Yuzhi lightly shook his head; at this moment he also began quickly forming seals!

The dragon vein's chakra surged wildly; in the next instant countless thick vines burst out of the earth!

"Wood Release: Forest Birth!"

Boom—

The terrifying Wood Release spread wildly, as if endless branches quickly covered every area.

In the blink of an eye, they had arrived beside Wentai and the stone giant!

"This"

Wentai's huge toad mouth at this moment simply couldn't close; he seemed unable to comprehend why he had encountered Wood Release!

He kept swinging the katana in his hand, continuously cutting the entangling vines.

But the number of those vines was simply too many; even he couldn't clear them completely.

Not long after, his hind legs were entangled, and soon his whole body was wrapped up by those vines!

"Oh no."

Ziraiye and Kakashi, although they had long known such a scene would occur, still felt a deadly threat when truly facing Wood Release.

"Damn, that fast?"

Dayemu and Huangtu's faces grew even uglier; Yuzhi was originally the person they were supposed to watch over, yet now things had turned out like this.

Being trapped by Wood Release is not something ordinary people can easily break free from; even Wentai and the stone giant are no exception!

At that very moment, Yuzhi stepped step by step along the Wood Release to reach the Four-Tails' head, standing together with Hikari.

"Let me ask you a question."

Just then, Yuzhi suddenly spoke in a faint voice, his echo resonating throughout the forest.

"Do you know what truly is the Leaf Village?"

While speaking, Yuzhi quickly drew the little fox's chakra, and at this moment he also covered himself with Susanoo.

Susanoo's chakra kept extending, finally enveloping the entire Four-Tails!

Yuzhi had never dared to use Susanoo in battle, knowing the little Nine-Tails couldn't withstand it.

But now it's no longer a problem; all he needs to do is deliver the final blow, while also ensuring he can retreat.

"The founding of the Leaf Village relied on fire and Wood Release; only their combination gave rise to the Leaf Village we have today.

"Now feel it well—what truly is the Leaf Village!"

As his words fell, Yuzhi's Susanoo had completely covered the Four-Tails' body.

Although lacking armor, it still looks chilling to the heart!

With Hikari's cooperation, Susanoo extended both hands and quickly formed seals.

Not long after, a scorching aura boiled in the forest; the next instant Yuzhi controlled Susanoo to complete the seal.

"Fire Release: Great Fire Annihilation!"

Like a meteor, a fireball surged forth, this fireball heavily striking the Wood Release.

Boom—

Accompanied by a burst of rumbling, the earth seemed to ignite in an instant!

A huge wave of fire surged skyward; that terrifying heat could be clearly felt even from far away.

The flames kept rolling, as if devouring everything; the ignited Wood Release frantically expanded, and under Yuzhi's control they continued to launch attacks!

In an instant, the stone giant was already ignited, and under the scorching heat it turned directly into clay.

"I'm leaving first; you better not die!"

Wen Tai also really couldn't hold on; he had intended to use Water Release to alleviate the fire.

But those Wood Release techniques kept draining his chakra, leaving him willing but powerless.

The four of them landed quickly, watching the intertwining Wood Release and Fire Release spreading, and Da Ye Mu gritted his teeth and once more clasped his hands together.

"Dust Release: Boundary Stripping!"

Amid the roar, all of Da Ye Mu's chakra turned into Dust Release sweeping outward, and the blazing white light turned everything to ash.

The wildly surging vines were instantly reduced to ash under the power of Dust Release!

White light flickered; Da Ye Mu watched Yuzhi and Hikari standing atop the Four-Tails' head, and suddenly he turned his spearhead and swept across.

"Die!"

The white light flickered, but this time Yuzhi didn't dodge; instead he grabbed Hikari beside him.

Ripples in space rose on them, and they calmly watched the Dust Release's gleam instantly merge into their bodies, roaring straight toward the distance!

"You really are over the line."

Hikari looked at Yuzhi beside her and said softly, though her eyes were also rotating slightly.

At Yuzhi's wrist, the mark of Eight Thousand Spears glimmered, clearly Hikari was transmitting power to Yuzhi.

"There's a little, but if it were the real Madara Uchiha, it would be even more excessive than me."

Yuzhi gave a wry smile; he could only push himself this far, which was his limit.

The little fox's power had been drained, and the Four-Tails' Susanoo had been withdrawn by him.

He also used all the power suitable for Madara Uchiha himself; apart from some eye techniques and the Susanoo he displayed, he had already exhausted his abilities!

And now he had also employed Kamui; this move was a clear signal that he was about to be ruined.

In truth, looking at the results he had achieved, Yuzhi felt rather satisfied.

Facing Da Ye Mu, Huang Tu, and Ziraiye, plus a slightly soy-flavored Kakashi, and coordinating with Hikari and the Four-Tails to this level, it was really quite good.

Moreover, their goal was essentially achieved; what would not be satisfying?

"But the Four-Tails isn't very honest?"

Watching the pillar of light slowly fade, Yuzhi couldn't help but ask.

"Hmm, he really isn't very honest, and the jinchuriki inside him is the same."

Hikari nodded, then she drew her hand and glared at Yuzhi.

"Mind your current status, don't cause any trouble."

"Got it, release the Four-Tails' control."

Yuzhi pursed his lips; though weary, as the pillar of light faded he stepped forward with both hands clasped around his chest.

Aooo—

The Four-Tails let out a roar the instant its control was lifted, and its eyes gradually changed from Sharingan to normal eyes.

"The Four-Tails has been released?"

Da Ye Mu and the others stared dumbfounded at everything, especially seeing that these two had no issues under the Dust Release attack, which made cold sweat run down his face.

"How could that be? Dust Release clearly hit, how is this possible!"

"What kind of expression is that? Didn't I tell you we don't have much time?"

Yuzhi again adopted that hoarse tone, his feet planted on the Four-Tails' head, then he spoke with a hint of helplessness.

"To be honest, it's not very satisfying, but some technique rules really limit us from continuing, but speaking of that..."

At this point, Yuzhi paused slightly, looking at Da Ye Mu's somewhat bewildered yet extremely alert demeanor.

He suddenly laughed; Da Ye Mu's appearance was indeed somewhat laughable, but one can imagine how crazy Madara Uchiha was back then.

He adjusted his emotions a bit, then spoke softly.

"Little imp of the Two-Scale, your dance is still far from enough."
