Chapter 361: Sage Art
Ino kept adding force. In the fourth second, she gained the upper hand. The Giant Rasengan in her hand pressed down bit by bit, and the opponent's chakra sphere was visibly shrinking.
When the stalemate reached the fifth second, she found that the opponent was much weaker than she had expected. Just as she was about to press her advantage, a sense of danger arose in her heart. She looked up and saw that the silver-haired man's eyes showed no panic. Realizing something was wrong, she used the force of the two entangled Rasengans to apply a push forward, then quickly retreated.
Before she had retreated five steps, she saw the silver-haired man form a special seal. Then, his chakra suddenly underwent a qualitative change. He merged with the surrounding environment, as if he were originally a part of the trees, houses, and streets, while Ino was now a complete intruder.
This time, the silver-haired man formed his hand seals obediently. In their previous contest, their chakra levels were about the same. But as he entered a strange state, the chakra he could mobilize instantly became immense, far exceeding the limit of what Ino could mobilize.
"Sage Art: Five Fire Gods Flame Fan!" At this moment, the silver-haired man seemed to have become a rising sun. A huge flame descended from the sky, instantly turning into a raging sea of fire. All matter within the range of the Sage Art was burning violently. Ino, five steps away, was the first to bear the brunt.
After Ino realized the opponent was using a big move, her actions were not slow either.
She immediately used her strongest move.
"Wood Release: Wood Human Technique!"
The surrounding plants gathered together through the sea of fire, and a huge, green Wood Human rose from the ground.
Many Kekkei Genkai, including Wood Release, were not within the countering range of the five common chakra natures of wind, lightning, earth, water, and fire. They wouldn't suppress a certain chakra nature, nor would they be countered.
Ino didn't dare to stand outside and act cool. She quickly sank into the Wood Human's body and at the same time opened her three-tomoe Sharingan, staring at the opponent's surging chakra.
The half-body Wood Human opened its two giant hands and, like a wooden wall, blocked the dazzling sea of fire in front of it.
"Those who can run, run quickly!" her voice came from within the Wood Human.
At this time, the civilians, soldiers, and merchants in the capital of the Land of the Moon, including the fighting Sakura, were all dumbfounded.
Some civilians were too close to the battlefield. The moment the silver-haired man's Sage Art: Five Fire Gods Flame Fan descended, they were burned to ashes. A second later, not even ashes were left.
He had killed at least a hundred people with this one move.
The heat of the sea of fire could be felt from a great distance. Sakura stared blankly at this scene. Many people said that Ino's strength was very strong, but she really had no specific concept until this moment.
To Ino, the twenty-meter-tall, squishy half-body Wood Human was truly shabby, but to Sakura, this was no different from a god descending. This is a ninja's ninjutsu? You've got to be kidding me!
After opening her Sharingan, Ino's vision inside the Wood Human was excellent. Relying on the Wood Human's powerful defense, she also had time to observe the enemy and the battlefield.
Seeing Sakura in a daze, she knew that her old problem of poor psychological quality had flared up again. She couldn't use "Summoning Jutsu: Naruto" now, so she had to help her herself.
"Go save people, don't just stand there!"
The Wood Human slammed its hands on the ground, and a wood dragon soared into the sky. Winding and circling, it took Sakura and Pakkun and broke through the encirclement. Then, the wood dragon smashed through the melting iron gate of the warehouse.
Sakura forced herself to calm down. Looking at the room full of large vats and transparent sealed bags, she quickly searched. Seeing that there were about four or five children still alive, she threw a kunai, cut the transparent sealed bags, and rescued a few children, including Hikaru.
The rest of the children were all unconscious. Only Hikaru, after being freed from the transparent sealed bag, was awakened by the wind.
"Who are you? Are you that Konoha ninja? Wow! Are we flying in the sky?!" The wood dragon carried several people out of the range of the sea of fire. Flying in the sky for the first time, Hikaru was extremely surprised.
But before he could carefully experience the pleasure of flying, after leaving the range of the sea of fire, Ino withdrew the wood dragon's chakra, and the wood dragon became a dead thing.
"Can't we fly anymore? It's not moving. Why?" Hikaru asked Sakura.
Sakura answered honestly, "Because Ino is still fighting over there. She has withdrawn the chakra that maintains this jutsu."
"Is Ino that very greedy and fierce big sister? Aren't you also a ninja? Can't you make this dragon fly again?" Hikaru touched a sore spot.
Sakura's face didn't look so good anymore.
"I'm sorry, I can't do it."
"You're so lame."
Sakura clenched her fists, a "井" character popping up on her forehead. No wonder Ino-pig was so angry that day. This little brat really needs a lesson!
Sakura summoned the Eight Ninja Hounds and ordered the largest hound, Bull, to carry Hikaru. The other ninja hounds took away the still-unconscious children and quickly retreated from the battlefield.
Ino's Sharingan stared at the silver-haired man through the Wood Human. Then she looked at his Sage Art and quickly noticed a problem.
A large amount of flame was attached to the Wood Human's hands and was not being absorbed by the Wood Release as expected. Instead, it was burning more and more intensely.
The Sharingan's observation ability was extremely strong. After a couple of glances, she understood.
This was not fire-nature chakra flame; there was also a lot of natural flame in it.
Wood Release could absorb chakra because it carried a bit of the essence of the God Tree, but it couldn't absorb things from nature.
She controlled the Wood Dragon Technique to save Hikaru and at the same time tried to extinguish the fire. At this moment, the silver-haired man formed hand seals again, his chest and abdomen puffed up high, and he fiercely spat out a large mass of flame. "Sage Technique: Fire Release: Three Flavors True Fire!"
The flames surged over like a giant wave. There were natural flames, chakra flames, and flames with Sage Art chakra. Mixed with the previous "Five Fire Gods Flame Fan," the two Sage Art fire jutsus stacked together. The scorching temperature caused even the Sharingan to have visual distortions. Ino had to increase her chakra output, making the Wood Human's arms protect its chest, and forcefully resist the opponent's Sage Art.
The Wood Human's arms were scorched by the Sage Art, and a large amount of wood chips fell off.
This silver-haired man was the strongest Fire Release ninja Ino had ever seen, bar none.
With three types of flames mixed together, Ino was ultimately not Hashirama Senju. Tsunade didn't know Sage Mode, so naturally, she didn't either. The simple Wood Human Technique was extremely difficult to deal with when facing Sage Art. She had to control the Wood Human to open its mouth and reveal a trump card.
"Yin Release: Underworld Water Colliding Wave!"
An overwhelming flood gushed out from the Wood Human's mouth. From a height of twenty meters, the flood crashed down on the sea of fire.
The Shinigami's prayer beads appeared in the Wood Human's hands. The originally green-skinned Wood Human now looked gloomy. As the Wood Human shook the Shinigami's prayer beads, the flood turned into pitch-black dead water. It seemed as if countless large and small whirlpools had formed in it. Buildings, trees, and even the flames were being pulled towards the bottom of the water.
