Chapter 169 Failure? ? ?

"Sure enough, I still underestimated you. I didn't expect that the kid from Iwagakure would grow to this point."

"But it's time for all this to end!"

"Wood Release: Sea of ​​Trees Birth!"

After the threatening words fell, the giant tree grew wildly, and in a moment it had crossed the sky. The barrier that originally covered the entire island was also broken by the wild growth of the giant tree, and the entire island was occupied by the giant tree.

At this moment, Obito stood on the wooden dragon, pretending to be indifferent. In front of the left, there was a lightning shadow surrounded by lightning. In front of the right, there was a thick acid mist, which concealed a deadly murderous intent. And in front of him was Ohnoki floating in the air. And around, there were elite jonin from major ninja villages.

Although he was extremely weak at this moment because of overdrawing the use of Wood Release and using Iyanagi once, he had to hold on and wait for his support to arrive.

But since things did not develop as Ohnoki wished, they would not be as Obito wished!

Not long after the barrier was broken, the wooden dragon that had swallowed Gaara let out a roar. Everyone felt a trace of fear in the roar of this dead thing.

The next moment, the wooden dragon's body swelled extremely, as if something extremely terrifying was struggling inside it.

"Damn it!"

Obito turned his head in disbelief. Before he could strengthen the control of the wooden dragon, the belly of the wooden dragon under his feet suddenly exploded. A ferocious giant hand directly pierced the belly of the wooden dragon and stretched out, and even slammed down towards Obito.

After all, Obito was just an Uchiha who had merged some of Hashirama's cells. He was not the reincarnation of Indra and Ashura. This weakened wooden dragon was already his limit.

The moment of contact, the huge hand of sand began to twist and break. It was obvious that Obito had unfolded the power of his right eye, trying to absorb and disrupt everything in front of him.

But seeing that things were turning around, the ninja coalition naturally would not let him go. In the flash of lightning, the Raikage had already rushed up, and a move of "heavy flow storm" was ready. Behind the Raikage, there was a ferocious water dragon hidden in the mist.

Then, Shukaku, who was completely released by Gaara, directly tore the uncontrolled wooden dragon apart, roared to the sky, and countless sand and hail formed and attacked Obito.

Facing a set of combos from everyone, Obito could only release the absorption state and turn to virtualization to avoid the attack.

"Hu----Hu-----"

On the other side, Gaara*, who had escaped from the trap, stood on Shukaku's head, and his panting posture obviously overdrew his chakra.

This time, Shukaku appeared not because Gaara used the "sleeping technique" to give up his control, but because he temporarily reached a reconciliation with Shukaku in his body.

(The situation is similar to the reconciliation between Naruto and the Nine-Tails in the movie "The Road to Ninja")

After all, Shukaku, as a tailed beast, knows better than anyone what he will face if he is caught by this guy who is shouting about the "Moon Eye" plan.

In the face of life and death, it is not impossible to let go of some past grudges with humans. After all, compared with the guy who is obsessed with packing himself up to the Outer Path Demon Statue, Gaara, who has the same black circle, is much more pleasing to the eye.

However, before Gaara could breathe a sigh of relief, the wood dragon, which had been broken into two pieces and was thought to have lost its threat, took action again. The lower half of the body coiled up and tried to entangle Shukaku, while the upper half of the body had a ferocious mouth and bit directly at Shukaku's arm.

Under the unexpected situation, coupled with the suppression of the tailed beasts by the Wood Release itself, this bite actually bit off Shukaku's right arm directly.

This emergency scared everyone and they hurriedly turned to support Gaara. After all, after the barrier was broken, the plan to capture the masked man who looked like Uchiha Madara had failed. In this case, all the ninja coalition could do was to protect the one-tailed beast in Gaara's body.

"Boiling Style: Skillful Mist Technique"

As she moved, Mei Terumi activated her bloodline limit and tried to provide support for Gaara. The fog with the meaning of death soon enveloped everything around. With the sound of corrosion, the wooden dragon was suffering a huge injury.

On the other side, Shukaku did not sit still and wait for death. He opened his huge mouth, and a tailed beast jade condensed form shot out in the blend of blue and purple, directly piercing through the wooden dragon that was wrapped around his lower body.

However, at this moment, the change reappeared. On the giant trees all over the island, countless huge wooden fists suddenly appeared, smashing at everyone like crazy.

"Hello----"

A slightly funny greeting came along with the countless giant fists. The upper body of White Zetsu Afei emerged from the wooden dragon. With a strange expression, he looked at everything in front of him and asked: "Master Madara, I am not too late!"

Obito did not speak, but flashed directly to Afei's side. And Afei also covered Obito's body tactfully to replenish Obito's exhausted chakra.

"Let's stop here today!"

While receiving the chakra feedback from White Zetsu Afei, while absorbing Shukaku's right arm bitten off by the wooden dragon and the remnants of the wooden dragon, he turned around and said to the ninja coalition.

The ninja coalition was busy facing the sudden attack of the wooden fist at this moment, and could not stop Obito's actions for the time being.

At the same time, Obito has already known that this attempt to take down the One-Tail Jinchūriki has failed. Although he is very unwilling, he does not have the strength now. After all, after using Iyanagi once, it is also a big burden for him to overdraw his body strength to use Wood Release again.

"Next time, you won't be so lucky!"

After leaving this last warning, Obito's whole body slowly disappeared with the ripples in his right eye. This time, Ohnoki did not do those useless efforts. In the current situation, neither side can do anything to the other.

In the empty underground space, silence became the theme of the moment.

After a long silence, Uchiha Xuan finally carefully put the scroll into the ninja tool bag on his leg.

Uchiha Xuan clearly knew that his teacher's power was not something that ordinary people could control. It was a power that was above the bloodline, and it was powerful and mysterious.

Orochimaru seemed to give him two choices, but in fact he had no choice at all.

Just like when he first awakened his Mangekyō Sharingan, he yearned for power. He hoped to live up to the expectations of Mr. Ryuu and shoulder the title and responsibility of the Shadow as a member of the Uchiha clan.

It was precisely because of his desire for power that after awakening his Mangekyō Sharingan, he gained the ability to increase his power to the extreme --- "Takemikaze-son"

He needed power!

So what was the final choice?

It was decided when Orochimaru laid it all out!
