"It's impossible to defeat me with Water Release alone." Mei said confidently. Although she was not better than the Second Hokage, Mei still felt a great sense of accomplishment when it came to Water Release.
"Hehe, it's too early to be proud now. Since you used your Bloodline Limit, I can't hide mine anymore. Don't you want to see how my Wood Release is doing? Now I'll let you experience it firsthand. Wood Release - Deep Forest Emergence!"
Tsunade's eyes flashed with cold light as she formed a hand seal. It was still a bit difficult to control this jutsu with her current mastery of the one-handed seal. Although he would be able to do it once given enough time. However, using both hands was safer for now.
A green light emitted from Tsunade's body, and a strong life force drifted out, causing the tiles under her feet to immediately break apart. One sapling after another grew into a towering giant tree at a speed visible to the naked eye. In a few seconds, the originally empty place had become a forest.
"Crap!" Mei knew very well that Tsunade's Wood Release was definitely not something at the same level as Yamato, Danzo, or Madara's. They had only obtained the cells of Hashirama, and there was still a great gap between their Wood Release and the actual Senju descendant's Wood Release.
Mei had never seen Hashirama use Wood Release, but from Tsunade's aura, she could feel that this was the real Wood Release. It was endless and no Ninjutsu could destroy it. Once they entered the tree realm, everything inside would be controlled by the Tsunade, and she could freely play with everything inside it, including people.
"Melting Apparition!." Mei used her Melting Apparition again. A large amount of lava sprayed onto the trees and destroyed them.
Unfortunately, Mei did not have time to breathe a sigh of relief. The destroyed trees grew out again. It was simply endless. As long as Tsunade did not die, then the Tree Realm would not disappear. It was indeed terrifying.
"Tch, there's no ending to this. No matter how many trees I destroy, I can not destroy the entire realm. What a god-tier ninjutsu.."
Mei's face was very ugly. Her perception had fallen to the lowest point inside this Tree Realm. Now, she could only rely on her naked eyes and intuition to judge.
"What? You are helpless with just one jutsu? This is too boring. I have prepared several jutsus to play with you slowly. Since this is the case, I will end this battle as soon as possible."
Tsunade's voice came from every direction of the Tree Realm. Mei was unable to determine Tsunade's location. Tsunade must've used some kind of hidden ability to merge with the trees. After all, she was a descendant of the Senju.
Not to mention that Tsunade herself had the body of the immortal of the Senju Clan. If Tsunade wanted to hide, even with the help of their Bloodline Limit, any ninja would be able to sense where she was. She could even use a special ability to turn herself into a tree.
Even the Byakugan could not discern her from a normal tree. Therefore, it was almost impossible to find Tsunade, who deliberately hid his figure. Even a proper Wood Release user like Hashirama himself would have a hard time finding her.
"Swoosh!"
As soon as Tsunade finished speaking, the originally motionless tree seemed to have a life of its own. The branches turned into snake-like long whips that lashed at Mei. The attacks from all directions made Mei have no chance to fight back at all. She could barely dodge them.
"No matter what, no matter how strong the regeneration ability is, these are still just some trees. I have no problem destroying them. Boil Release: Solid Fog!"
Mei seized the opportunity to use a substitute to dodge, and then immediately spat out a high-temperature acid mist. This was the ability of her terrifying Bloodline Limit, who could even dissolve Susanoo.
All the branches and trees that were touched by mist instantly disintegrated without exception. It was a pity that Mei didn't notice one point. It should be said that even if she could notice it, she couldn't hide from it. Don't forget where the trees came from the earth!"
"Crash!"
The ground under Mei's feet suddenly split open, and she was tied by the rapidly growing branches. At the same time, Mei found that the chakra in her body was rapidly disappearing. Obviously, her chakra was absorbed by the branches.
"Oh? Do you finally realize? Anything touched by these branches would be deprived of their chakra. When your chakra is completely absorbed, what will be absorbed will be your life. Everything you have will become the nutrients for me to become stronger."
Tsunade sneered and said. It seemed that this battle was about to end.
"This is terrible. Really terrible. In a battle, losing all of their chakra would mean death for anyone.. Moreover, the absorbed chakra and life will become the nutrients of the Tree Realm, and it will also make Tsunade stronger."
"Wood Release is really terrible. It seems that Tsunade is really not simple. Her Wood Release is the same as Senju Hashirama. It is the real Wood Release, worthy of the terrifying ability to calm the ninja world. "
Mei and Ryoha both had the same thought. Wood Release was too terrifying. No wonder Hashirama could defeat Madara, who had the Eternal Mangekyo, and the Kyubi under his control. It was really amazing.
"Wow.. every time she kills a person with this Wood Release, she will be stronger. Her dead enemies will be absorbed by the trees, just like those dead organisms in the forest.
"It's really like the rule of nature. It is simply a super cheat weapon, to be able to strengthen yourself using your fallen enemies. It is really worthy of the name of a Bloodline Limit which represents life. One would be up against nature itself when once they entered the Tree Realm, while Tsunade is bending the rules of nature.
Ryoha was more and more eager to get Wood Release. This was the reason why Hashirama's body was still well preserved, despite being dead for so many years. No wonder the higher-ups of Konoha coveted this ability so much.
