Chapter 260 : Out of Control!

"Cough! What the hell!"

C was struck by Danzo's massive Vacuum Jade unexpectedly, sending him crashing into several trees. He pounded the ground in frustration.

On his chest, lightning-like cracks appeared, resembling an explosive scar.

Wind Release: Suction Bomb is like an air rocket launcher, and the Shimura clan is renowned for being the foremost practitioners of Wind Release in Konoha.

Despite appearances in the original story where Sasuke effortlessly evades all of Danzo's attacks, the potency of these ninjutsu should not be underestimated.

"Genjiro, why are you here?"

Danzo paid no mind to C at the moment. The one who had assisted him was none other than Genjiro, the individual who had recently vanished and had been working against him. He was a high-ranking Anbu official, Lord Gen.

Danzo still wore his voluminous black cloak, concealing his entire form.

Whether it was an illusion or not, Genjiro seemed notably larger than the last encounter.

His head, covered in brown hair resembling leaves, supported a hat held in place by wood-like horns. His skin, rough and dry as tree bark, gave him an almost lifeless appearance.

His expression was vacant, and his movements were unnaturally stiff. Were it not for the occasional movement of his mouth, he would have resembled a dead tree standing motionless!

"Genjiro, didn't I instruct you not to intervene? How did you end up here?"

Danzo barked in a low voice, refraining from approaching directly. His actions seemed hesitant.

"Brother... long..."

Genjiro's neck creaked like a rusty faucet as he struggled to reach Danzo's side, and the reason hidden in his lifeless eyes flickered like a flame in the wind!

Numerous robust vines extended from one of his sleeves, retracting gradually until they transformed into an exceptionally sturdy arm.

The one who obstructed C earlier was the team leader who appeared out of nowhere.

"Didn't you say you couldn't use Wood Release now?"

Danzo exclaimed anxiously. The last time Danzo confronted the Golden Horn and Silver Horn, the latter had utilized the Nine-Tailed Fox's chakra, resulting in significant casualties in Konoha.

Seeing the critical situation, Genjiro, driven by disagreement, unleashed his Wood Release, and Tobirama wanted to witness the extent of Genjiro's abilities.

More importantly, Tobirama desired to know if Danzo's research had truly succeeded.

After the outbreak, the team leader displayed formidable strength. Originally a quasi-kage player, he now possessed the abilities of a kage-level ninja.

With his rapidly recovering body, immense strength, seemingly boundless chakra, and the enigmatic and unpredictable Wood Release, Tobirama was satisfied. At least he saw the potential for using technology to awaken the Senju clan's Wood Release.

Yet, the conclusion was tragic. Despite Danzo Pharmaceuticals sustaining Genjiro until now, Wood Release couldn't be controlled with just a few cells between the columns, and Genjiro lost control after the power surge!

In the end, there was no distinction between ally and enemy, resulting in countless casualties that Tobirama personally handled.

However, Genjiro's consciousness became increasingly challenging to awaken, and he was sealed with Chakra, so he observed silently and cautiously.

Nevertheless, at this moment, Danzo charged out at the most crucial juncture, and the two brothers joined forces to halt the formidable C!

"Damn, that cursed seal... why didn't it work?!"

Danzo stared in horror at a faintly glowing purple curse mark on Genjiro's chest, but Genjiro appeared to be numb to the sensation.

The Evil-Sealing Seal was designed to prevent the body from being overtaken by foreign chakra and to suppress it. Unfortunately, Genjiro's own cells were assimilated by the primary cells, undergoing an irreversible transformation.

Initially, the Evil-Sealing Seal remained effective, but during the battle with the Golden Horn and the Silver Horn, Wood Release was wildly employed, leading to the unclear will of the regiment.

As the erosion worsened, the Evil-Sealing Seal ceased to function.

It could be said that no method had any effect. Genjiro clung to consciousness with the fragments of Gelel's Stone, but he was now undergoing an uncontrollable transformation into a "vegetative person."

If Takeshi witnessed this scene, he would likely sigh.

A once formidable opponent reduced to such a state.

Perhaps in the end, Genjiro would gradually become like White Zetsu, bound by the God Tree—an existence without a mind, potentially evolving into a complete monster!

"Genjiro, you—"

Danzo also sought to dissuade Genjiro, but suddenly, a lightning strike sent him flying!

"Humph! I want to see who dares to attack me?"

C stood in the field, panting heavily, turning to smirk at Genjiro but was taken aback by his appearance.

"You... what kind of monster are you?!"

To be honest, Genjiro's essence was fundamentally different from human appearance. Seeing Genjiro vomit blood and fly away, his expression sluggish, C, after a while, found fierce anger reflected in those scarlet pupils.

"... you die!"

Genjiro's voice was like the scraping of iron, but C didn't hesitate, disappearing instantly and piercing through Genjiro's chest!

Pfft—!

"Do not!!"

Danzo, having gotten up, witnessed this scene and cried out in grief. The ninjas of the Shimura clan in the distance rushed desperately towards the scene.

"Hey, your blood is actually brown. Aren't you human?"

C's four fingers pierced directly through Genjiro's body, and everyone in Konoha panicked.

However, Genjiro's eyes remained dull, unresponsive to the situation. It seemed his reaction time was extending.

Once again, he was gradually losing his humanity.

"Humph!"

C's hand delved into Genjiro's body, but to his surprise, there was no reaction from the other party. Instead, Genjiro continued to stare at him absentmindedly.

To worsen the situation, C's chakra surged through Genjirodan's body, being voraciously devoured!

"Anyone trying to hinder me will face death!"

C roared furiously, his right hand jerked violently, and lightning erupted suddenly. However, instead of escaping trouble, he found himself tightly entangled. Numerous vines emerged from Genjiro's black robe, wrapping around him and greedily consuming his chakra!

Genjiro resembled a deep black hole, ensnaring C as the powerful air wave lifted his robe, unveiling Genjiro's otherworldly appearance.

"Damn, what is this!"

C felt his skin prickle as Genjiro's vines tightened. He attempted to break free from the entanglement, suspecting that the other party might be utilizing Wood Release?

"Ow—!"

Finally, Genjiro emitted an inhuman roar. His hands thickened significantly, sending the formidable C Chong soaring into the air.

A gaping hole appeared in C's chest, chilling to the bone, revealing a clear view from one side to the other.

Strangely, no blood flowed from the wound; the flesh and blood inside resembled wood, healing rapidly!

"Ow—!"

Genjiro bellowed into the sky, reminiscent of a wild beast!

"Not good! Genjiro has involuntarily triggered the power of Wood Release due to his injury!"

Danzo observed Genjiro, seemingly unaffected, with somber eyes and beads of sweat on his forehead.

Once again, Genjiro had lost control!
