"Whoosh…"
A fierce wind swept through the area.
The vast smoke and dust were quickly dispersed.
In a radius of hundreds of meters, the previously towering, lush trees had disappeared, leaving a shocking scene of devastation.
Everywhere, there were scattered rocks of various sizes.
The entire ground had caved in.
Even underground water seeped up continuously.
In that desolate place, only one giant figure stood tall.
It was none other than a massive wooden giant covered in countless leaves.
"Is that… Kiyoshi?"
Staring at the ruinous landscape ahead, the towering figure standing there,
Tsunade was frozen in place.
At this moment, Kiyoshi looked entirely different from his usual self.
Gazing at the overwhelming scene, she couldn't help but exclaim in disbelief, "Could it be… he used the monstrous strength technique while in this enlarged form?"
Even from such a distance, Tsunade was deeply shaken.
There was no need to mention Danzo, who hadn't even had time to evade and was directly hit by that punch.
Utilizing Izanagi, which transformed his death into a mere dream, Danzo reappeared behind Kiyoshi, his face filled with awe. "What kind of power is this…"
"That blow just now was already on the level of an S-rank jutsu!"
As he spoke, his hands swiftly formed seals.
Aiming at the wooden giant Kiyoshi had become, he unleashed a powerful attack: "With that size, you're an ideal target… Wind Release: Vacuum Serial Waves!"
"Whoosh, whoosh…"
Countless razor-sharp wind blades shot forward, slicing through the air.
They blitzed toward the towering wooden giant.
However—
Thanks to the powers of the Wood-Wood Fruit, Kiyoshi, now transformed into a massive wooden figure, stomped down forcefully with a "boom."
The ground shattered, and he leaped forward at an alarming speed.
With terrifying agility and reflexes, he dodged Danzo's attack, causing the wind blades to miss their mark and crash into the distance.
"Whoosh…"
The fierce wind howled.
Watching Kiyoshi, a massive wooden giant, leap hundreds of meters into the air and plummet like a mountain, Danzo's eyes shrank, and he retreated swiftly.
"Boom!!!"
The deafening crash shook the skies.
Dust billowed, and debris scattered.
The fierce wind was so intense it was hard to keep one's eyes open.
The enormous wooden figure stood there.
Kiyoshi looked down at Danzo, a playful smile on his face. "You sure run fast!"
"Summoning Jutsu!"
Barely avoiding that extremely exaggerated blow, Danzo bit his finger and quickly formed seals.
Slamming his hand onto the ground, the summoning formation spread out instantly.
"Boom…" Smoke swirled.
A giant beast with an appearance resembling a mammoth emerged.
This was Danzo's summoning beast—the Dream-Eater Beast, Baku.
"Roar…" It let out a mighty roar, its presence terrifying.
Its massive mouth opened wide, unleashing a tremendous suction force.
"Whoosh—"
Countless rocks and foliage flew toward it.
The wind pressure was so strong that even the enormous Kiyoshi struggled to keep his footing.
But in the next moment, he charged forward with unrestrained momentum.
"The legendary Dream-Eater Beast, Baku?"
Meanwhile, he extended his massive hand, grabbing at Danzo, who had stealthily approached from behind.
"Boom… boom…"
Numerous saplings burst out from the ground, growing rapidly at a visible rate, and wrapping around the half-buried Danzo.
"Swish, swish…" Danzo, who had planned an ambush to coordinate with Baku's power, turned pale and scrambled out of the ground, narrowly avoiding the tightening vines.
But in the next instant, the towering wooden giant appeared beside Baku.
He threw a powerful punch toward the beast's ferocious head.
"That's… the Body Flicker Jutsu?"
Danzo's eyes shrank.
That a giant of such a colossal size could perform the Body Flicker Jutsu with such swiftness was unimaginable.
"Boom!!"
"Roar…"
In an instant, blood splattered everywhere.
The giant Baku's head was smashed, howling in agony.
Struck by the terrifying Mighty Fist, it was hurled away like a cannonball.
It disappeared mid-air, vanishing into smoke.
"Danzo, if that's all you've got, then this is where you'll stay forever!"
The giant wooden figure began to shrink.
After testing his power in his giant form, Kiyoshi reverted to his original state, his eyes blazing with killing intent as he dashed toward Danzo.
"Hmph, I have far more tricks up my sleeve than you can imagine!" Danzo sneered defiantly.
He charged forward as well.
"Wood Style: Cutting Sprigs Jutsu!"
Kiyoshi's gaze sharpened, and he swung his right hand.
Countless sharp wooden spikes shot out like lightning, whizzing straight toward Danzo.
"Swish… swish…" With the astounding perception of his Sharingan, Danzo dodged skillfully.
Just barely, he managed to evade the piercing wooden spikes.
Suddenly, a massive wooden hand burst out from the ground.
Its wrist, tree-like, grew and extended at an astonishing speed from below, lunging toward a shocked and unprepared Danzo.
In an instant, it grabbed Danzo, who was too late to evade.
"Swish!" Kiyoshi clenched his right hand tightly.
"Ahhh…"
Danzo screamed.
In the blink of an eye, he was crushed into a bloody pulp.
Blood seeped from the giant wooden hand.
But the next moment—Danzo, who should have died mysteriously appeared before Kiyoshi again.
"Ishikawa Kiyoshi, you've truly surprised me."
Watching Kiyoshi charge at him once more, Danzo's face twisted into a triumphant smile.
"To think you could use Wood Release without even needing seals… even other jutsus, with just one hand… but you're still too inexperienced."
In his right eye, the black tomoe morphed into a four-pointed shuriken, spinning furiously.
He unleashed Kotoamatsukami directly on Kiyoshi.
"What? That's… a Mangekyo Sharingan?"
Kiyoshi's face changed as wooden spikes sprouted from his right arm, preparing to attack.
Afraid of falling under a Genjutsu, he immediately retreated, shutting his eyes to avoid Danzo's gaze.
"It's useless… too late!"
Danzo grinned maniacally. "Submit to me, Ishikawa Kiyoshi!"
The young genius who had inherited the Wood Style of the First Hokage, with talent not inferior to Hashirama's, was finally his to command.
Danzo had used Kotoamatsukami, to make Ishikawa Kiyoshi forever loyal to him.
"Is that so?"
Under Danzo's astonished gaze,
Kiyoshi smirked, opening his crimson eyes.
In his left eye, the Mangekyo pattern spun rapidly: "Ukanomitama: Genjutsu Reversal!"
The powerful ocular energy that sought to invade his mind and alter his will was immediately reflected back.
Rendering it null and void.
"Slash—"
A vine shot out, lightning fast.
In an instant, it pierced Danzo's right eye and retracted.
Blood gushed forth.
"Ahhh…" Danzo screamed, caught off guard.
His bloody eye, dangling from the vine, was left swaying in the air.
