Chapter 581: Night City: Who Says Wooden Puppets Can't Use Swords?
"This is the Wooden Man Technique! You little brat, you've actually awakened the Wood Style Bloodline!"
Looking at the all-too-familiar Wooden Man Technique before him and then at Night City standing atop the wooden figure, Uchiha Sasuke's aged face displayed a clear expression of shock for the first time.
It was common knowledge that the Senju Clan members who had awakened the "Wood Style" were entirely different from those who hadn't awakened their bloodline.
The Senju Clan members without the "Wood Style" were hardly special, except for having slightly more robust vitality than ordinary ninjas.
But those who had awakened the "Wood Style" could achieve a qualitative leap in strength, a difference comparable to that between ordinary Uchiha Clan members and those who had unlocked the Mangekyou Sharingan.
It wasn't without reason that the shinobi world was known as the "Eye Ninja World."
After all, in one moment, they could be exchanging blows with extras, and in the next, with the Mangekyou Sharingan's opening, they could engage in arm-wrestling matches with Tailed Beasts or Jonin-level ninjas. Such scenes were not uncommon in this world.
The number of Uchiha Clan members who could awaken the Mangekyou Sharingan was limited, and even fewer could awaken the Wood Style within the Senju Clan.
The Wood Style Bloodline was so rare that even Tobirama Senju, the younger brother of Hashirama Senju, had never awakened it. Yet, before Uchiha Sasuke, this little-known Senju Clan brat, had awakened the Wood Style unique to Hashirama Senju!
"It seems I've underestimated you before. No wonder you could suppress the rampaging Three-Tails. You're the most deeply hidden member of the Senju Clan."
The Wooden Man Technique was considered a high-level Wood Style Ninjutsu within the Wood Style Bloodline.
Moreover, the amount of Chakra required to use the Wooden Man Technique was astonishing, indicating that Night City had not only awakened the Wood Style but also possessed a considerable amount of Chakra.
If it were his prime, Uchiha Sasuke wouldn't have paid much attention to Night City.
Forget about the Wooden Man Technique; even if Hashirama's "Summoning: Buddha Statue" had appeared, his complete Susanoo could easily cut it down.
But now, his body had aged, and his Sharingan had been transplanted to Konan for future plans, leaving him with barely a third of his prime strength.
Of course, even though they were both Wood Style users, the same bloodline in different hands could produce vastly different results.
The Senju Clan brat before him wasn't Hashirama, and Uchiha Sasuke didn't believe the other's Wood Style could be that powerful or that his Chakra could maintain the Wooden Man Technique for long.
"Boom———"
As Uchiha Sasuke's mind was still processing these complex thoughts, his Susanoo had already taken a solid punch from Night City's Wooden Man Technique, causing his massive body to slide backward for hundreds of meters.
In the Mangekyou Sharingan state, Susanoo was a half-body without legs, but even so, Uchiha Sasuke's Susanoo was as tall as Night City's Wooden Man Technique.
Having been punched for no apparent reason, Uchiha Sasuke was furious. He was nearly a hundred years old, and the other party not only lacked respect for his age but also attacked without any regard for martial ethics.
Four Chakra Great Swords quickly formed on the arms of the blue Susanoo, and Uchiha Sasuke immediately controlled Susanoo to counterattack Night City.
As for the other Konoha ninja, Uchiha Sasuke temporarily decided to ignore him.
Although he had mastered Tobirama Senju's Flying Thunder God Technique, his Susanoo's 360-degree impenetrable defense meant that even if his opponent could approach him at extreme speed, what could they do? As long as they couldn't break through his defense, they could only stand by and stare helplessly.
Uchiha Sasuke judged that the current Yecheng posed an even greater threat to him, and as an awakened Wood Style user from the Senju Clan, they might continue to disrupt his plans in the future. Therefore, even if it meant risking his life, Uchiha Sasuke was determined to thoroughly eliminate Yecheng here and now!
Facing the great sword wielded by Susanoo, Yecheng, standing atop the Wooden Man, also formed hand seals.
"Wood Style: Wooden Dragon Blade Technique!"
The wooden dragon that had been coiled around the Wooden Man's arm unleashed a roar and flew out, growing into a towering tree on the ground. At the base of the massive tree, an imposing wooden longsword was thrust upside down.
The longsword's blade was almost as tall as the Wooden Man, and at the hilt, the wooden dragon coiled upwards in a spiral.
Under Yecheng's control, the Wooden Man took a step forward and reached out to directly pull out the upside-down wooden longsword from the ground. Facing the Susanoo's slashing sword, the Wooden Man also gripped the wooden sword and swung it down!
The longsword in Susanoo's hand clashed with the wooden sword in the Wooden Man's hand, and under the impact of a massive shockwave, both colossal entities seemed evenly matched, each retreating several kilometers.
However, compared to Uchiha Sasuke's aged body, which had begun to cough violently after the previous clash, Yecheng's condition was as good as it could be.
In the moment he stabilized his body, Yecheng manipulated the Wooden Man to raise the Wooden Dragon Sword with both hands and then slashed it down.
"Night God Flow Style: Breaking Waterfall!"
A sword aura slash hundreds of meters high burst forth from the Wooden Dragon Sword, and the crescent-shaped slash, as it slid across the ground, was like a hot knife slicing through butter, leaving a smooth, even gorge in the earth.
The distance of several kilometers was almost instantly covered by Yecheng's gigantic slash.
When Uchiha Sasuke saw the massive slash that almost completely enveloped him, he was stunned.
He had never even heard of the so-called "Wooden Dragon Blade Technique," and he hadn't known that the Wooden Man Technique could be used in such a sword-wielding manner.
In his previous battles with Hashirama Senju, when Hashirama controlled the Wooden Man, he always gathered his chakra in his fists and struck with his fists!
Facing the terrifying slash that rushed towards him, Uchiha Sasuke could only manipulate Susanoo's four arms to cross his swords and block the attack.
In his current state, not only could he not dodge such a high-speed attack, but his physical condition also prevented him from moving freely.
"Boom—!"
When the massive slash struck Uchiha Sasuke's Susanoo, the ground shook violently. Facing the full-power chakra slash from the Wooden Man Technique, Uchiha Sasuke managed to block it, but it wasn't a complete block.
Using a pair of inferior eyes to control Susanoo was already a strain, and due to his age, Uchiha Sasuke's Byakugan power and chakra had greatly declined.
Uchiha Sasuke received the Wooden Man's slash, but after this strike, cracks resembling spider webs appeared on the surface of his Susanoo.
