Chapter 509: Konoha's Darkness

On the green vines, many small flowers even appeared in an instant, exuding a refreshing fragrance, which was somewhat refreshing.

The Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, looked at the man with an incredible expression in his eyes as he looked at the vines wrapped around his waist and taking him away from Xia Le's control.

Then, he suddenly turned around and looked to the other side again, seeming to realize something.

"Danzo!"

Sure enough, the next second the Root Team led by Danzo had arrived here, looking at Xia Le with a cold expression.

"Hiruzen, you actually want to deal with such an enemy alone!"

"There are many legends about him in Konoha!"

Danzo said in a deep voice.

"call!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen's face flashed and he said nothing.

He raised his head again and looked at the man standing not far from Danzo. His face was dull and his body was very different from ordinary people. His heart felt inexplicably heavy.

"Mudun?"

Xia Le also spoke at this time, with a mocking expression on his lips.

"It's just a failure, and you took it out."

Hearing this, Sarutobi Hiruzen's heart became even heavier.

Danzo's face was expressionless.

"Orochimaru's research is still of some use. The fusion of Hashirama's cells is not that easy for ordinary people."

"It will consume human life force to a great extent. Many people will not be able to withstand the first wave of impact and will die on the spot."

“But there are also failures that have endured, and they persevered!”

"But after many subsequent shocks, they will become confused, lose their intelligence, and their life span will be greatly reduced, and they will not live long."

"Although such a failed product can also use the power of Wood Release, its power is undoubtedly small and pitiful compared to Senju Hashirama."

"If the real Mudun is like a towering tree, then these failed Mudun are just wild flowers growing on the roadside."

"No power!"

Xia Le's words spread smoothly.

Sarutobi Hiruzen's expression changed again and again.

He didn't expect that Danzo would actually collect defective products that failed Orochimaru's test, and he didn't expect that such a failed product would also master the Wood Release.

Although according to Xia Le, it is not comparable to the power of real Wood Release, it is still undoubtedly Wood Release!

Just having this sign is not simple.

"I know that Orochimaru and you have made many mysterious deals in private."

"These transactions are taboo."

Danzo said coldly.

"hehe!"

Xia Le laughed, and the sarcasm between his brows became even stronger.

"Although Orochimaru is conducting various research and experiments, you are responsible for finding those living bodies."

Hearing this, Danzo's expression changed slightly and he fell into silence.

Sarutobi Hiruzen's eyes flashed with a hint of gloom.

"Do it, Hiruzen!"

"This battle is inevitable!"

Danzo shouted.

Sarutobi Hiruzen took a breath, he knew very well how powerful the enemy he faced was.

He suddenly raised his hand and grasped the Vajra Ruyi Rod.

At this time, under Danzo's instruction, the failed Wood Release quickly ran towards Xia Le, and quickly formed seals with his hands.

"Swish, swish, swish!"

Multiple vines immediately stretched out from the void and quickly extended towards Xia Le. In the blink of an eye, large twisted branches appeared on the ground.

This scene is moving.

"Is it Mudun?"

"Besides the first generation, there are actually people who master Wood Escape?"

"It's incredible. Is this Mu Dun?"

The vines rubbed against the ground, like snakes, and in the blink of an eye they were in front of Xia Le, twisted into twisted twists, and headed towards Xia Le to catch him.

"Crack!"

Thick vines bound Xia Le's hands and feet.

"This kind of wood escape?"

Xia Le sneered, feeling the surging power of the vines.

"A failure within a failure!"

"Every time he uses it, he consumes a lot of his life force!"

"I'm afraid that after this war, his life will be over."

"Am I right? Danzo!"

Danzo's expression did not change.

"That's fine!"

"Let me show you what real wood escape is!"

Xia Le said lightly.

His body shook, and the entangled vines were instantly broken and torn into pieces.

Immediately afterwards, his hands clasped together, and a ruthless light shone in Samsara's eyes.

"Wood Release!"

The low voice spread around and echoed throughout the street. Ripples were rippling on the four-purple flame formation barrier, making everyone present wide-eyed.

"What?!"

"How can this be?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen's heart was shocked and his eyes were incredible.

"Has Orochimaru developed a deeper wood escape?"

"No, it's impossible, that's what happened to him."

Danzo gritted his teeth and stared at Xia Le.

He wanted to determine whether the guy in front of him was bluffing, or whether he had really mastered the legendary Wood Release.

"The tree world is coming!"

It was also at this time that cold, majestic words spread around.

The next second.

"Ka-tap-tap!"

The ground cracked with traces, and thick tree branches quickly stretched out from them, growing and expanding rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Bang bang bang bang bang!"

In the blink of an eye, cracks exploded on the entire street, and large trees grew rapidly. From the ruins of the Uchiha clan, new branches and thick trunks grew.

The sunlight was blocked, and the huge leaves blocked the light source, creating a haze in everyone's mind.

In the blink of an eye, a forest appeared in front of you.

Huge trees rise up into the sky, and under the breeze, the leaves rub against each other, making a rustling sound.

"Your little failed flower is nothing under this forest!"

Xia Le stood on the branch, looking down at Sarutobi Hiruzen and Danzo in front of him and sneered.

"This is?!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen's pupils were shaking.

Of course he was familiar with the scene before him. This is the Wood Release that Senju Hashirama has used before, and it is no less powerful.

A huge forest appeared in front of everyone. This kind of terrifying shock was unimaginable.

"Wood Release! The First Hokage's Wood Release!"

"How could he possibly master it?"

"Oh my God, this is the real Wood Release!"

"······"

Voices echoed one after another, and all the Konoha ninjas gathered here were shocked beyond measure at this moment.

"Xia Le, actually mastered the real Wood Release!"

"What exactly is going on?"

At the same time, doubts emerged in their minds.

Senju Hashirama created such a powerful bloodline boundary as Mu Dun, but since then, no one has mastered it, not even the bloodline of the Senju clan can possess it.

But today, the Uchiha clan has awakened the Wood Release?

This was undoubtedly quite shocking to everyone in Konoha.

"Danzo!"

"Do you know why Orochimaru gave up on these failures?"

Xia Le spoke lightly.

"Because in his and my eyes, this kind of failure has no value at all."

"Their existence is a negation of the experiment itself."

The sound echoed in the woods, and Danzo's expression changed, becoming extremely ugly.

"Why are you able to master such power?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen asked in a deep voice.

"He's obviously an Uchiha!"

Yes, this is the biggest doubt in everyone's mind. He is obviously an Uchiha, but he has mastered the power of the Senju clan.

Coupled with the Sharingan of the Uchiha clan, the man in front of him has become a god-like existence. Even if the First Hokage were alive, he would probably be difficult to deal with.

"You know nothing about the power of this world!"

Xia Le said lightly.

Then, he waved his hand.

"Stop talking nonsense!"

"Next, let's experience the power in my hands!"

"I have never used it since my first awakening, but you are the first witnesses!"

After finishing his words, Xia Le clasped his hands together.

"Snapped!"

A loud voice came out, echoing in everyone's ears.

Sarutobi Hiruzen and Danzo's expressions changed.

"Swiss, swiss, swish!"

The next second, they saw countless branches and vines moving quickly in the woods, turning into wooden dragons and charging towards them.

"ah!"

In just an instant, a Konoha ninja was hung up by the vines that wrapped his legs.

Then, a series of screams came out.

One after another, the figures were restrained and tied up by the branches, and all the strength in their bodies was sucked away, and they fell unconscious in the blink of an eye.

As for Xia Le, at this moment, he could clearly feel the power surging from all directions.

It's just that this force is still too small compared to the natural energy in his body.

"If I'm not wrong!"

"What happened to Uchiha, was it you who did it?"

"Danzo!"

Xia Le's eyes were cold and he spoke.

Danzo was shocked and quickly darted through the woods to avoid them. There were more and more vines and branches behind him.

With the speed at which the branches were growing, there was no way he could evade the final hunt.

"Snapped!"

At this moment, Sarutobi Hiruzen on one side was tied up by branches, and then a large number of branches spread up. In the blink of an eye, he was wrapped into a rice dumpling, and then hung along the branches, forming a cocoon-like falling object.

"You can't escape!"

"The forest formed by the wooden escape between the Thousand-Armed Pillars is a unique realm."

"As a spell caster, everything here is under my control!"

Xia Le said lightly.

The leader's expression became increasingly ugly. He glanced around and saw that a personal cocoon had been quickly hung up among the trees, which made his heart sink.

Obviously, none of the Konoha ninjas participating in this war could avoid the powerful ninjutsu of Mu Dun.

At this moment, only a few people are still struggling to hold on and avoid.

But fall is only a matter of time.

Xia Le, who has mastered the Wood Release and Mangekyou Sharingan, already has the ability to destroy Konoha by himself.

The outcome of this war has already been determined.

"Yes, Xia Le, I did everything!"

"I'm willing to pay the price."

"This matter has nothing to do with Hiruzen or anyone else in Konoha."

"You let them go, this is your hometown since you were born after all!"

Danzo took a deep breath, suddenly stopped running, turned around and admitted everything frankly.

Xia Le was silent for a moment, and then said calmly after a moment.

"Although I hate you very much in my heart, I have to admit that you are still a responsible man when facing a huge crisis."

Hearing this, Danzo laughed.

"Everything I do is for Konoha!"

"For this village that gave birth to me and raised me, I will sacrifice everything for him!"

"I don't regret taking action against the Uchiha clan!"

"Even if I die in your hands today!"

"because.

After a pause, Danzo's voice was sonorous and powerful.

"Peace always comes at a price, whether it's the enemy or yourself!"

His words echoed through the trees.

At this moment, the four-purple flame formation rippled, and finally dissipated into nothingness.

Xia Le looked down at the figure in front of him with an indifferent expression: "You will definitely pay the price!"

"Kill him, Xia Le!!"

Uchiha Fugaku yelled from the side, his eyes blood red.

"Ha ha ha ha!"

Danzo laughed.

"Fugaku, don't you want to know where your son is?"

One sentence made Fugaku's expression suddenly change.

"Sasuke is still alive?!"

Danzo was so broken at this moment, he knew he wouldn't survive.

"He's in my hands."

Fugaku's heart was shaken and he roared angrily: "Danzo!!!"

"Originally, I wanted to eliminate the root cause and kill the child, but Hiruzen's kindness saved his life!"

Danzo sneered.

"Now, I use the lives of your son and Uchiha Huoguang as a deal."

Fugaku gritted his teeth: "What deal?"

Xia Le was born at this time: "No matter what the deal is, you will definitely die!"

Danzo smiled calmly: "I never thought about living!"

"What I originally wanted to do was to take this opportunity today to completely eradicate the remnants of the Uchiha clan, which is you!"

"I didn't expect it."

At this point, he shook his head and smiled.

The power of Xia Le was an unexpected surprise, and it was something that no one expected.

Such a powerful force is enough to sweep away everything and ignore any conspiracy.

"Let Hiruzen and the other ninjas of Konoha go."

"From this moment on, the Uchiha clan disappears in Konoha. That Uchiha child and man, I can spare their lives."

"And make sure they are in Konoha and will not be harmed in any way."

Danzo said calmly.

Fugaku gritted his teeth, clenched his fists, and his eyes flashed.

After a while.

He gritted his teeth suddenly: "Uchiha's innocent soul is still crying!"

"So many people died in your hands, in Konoha!"

"How can I do it because of my own son?"

But at this moment, Xia Le suddenly reached out to stop him.

"Can!"

Danzo was stunned for a moment, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.

"You need an explanation and a price to pay!"

"These costs and all responsibilities will be borne by me!"

At this moment, Danzo was extremely calm.

With a smile on his face, he slowly pulled out the short knife from his waist with his right hand.

Very carefully, he wiped the blade of the short knife clean on his clothes. Then, he turned his right hand and placed it on his neck.

"I will compensate you for this life, Uchiha!"

With a loud shout, Danzo's eyes widened.

The right hand exerts force suddenly.

"Pfft!"

Blood spattered, Danzo's eyes widened, and then the light in his eyes slowly dimmed.

After a few breaths, his body fell to the ground with a thud.

Fugaku was stunned, staring at this scene blankly, as if he hadn't reacted yet.

"I am Konoha's Yami!"

"Light and darkness come together. Wherever the sun shines, there is my darkness!"

"This is the meaning of my existence!"
