Chapter 297: Ch.297 Uchiha Facing Wood Release
Fleeing through the primal forest, Shinji glanced back and gave a bitter smile: "Heh, did I overdo it this time?"
He'd been focused on testing Yakumo's post-surgery condition, but he'd underestimated her resolve.
If the churning sea of trees behind him represented Yakumo's determination right now, then that determination was perhaps a bit too overwhelming!
Swish.
With a light tap of his toes on a branch, Shinji leaped high again, dodging the pursuing vines.
"The chakra fluctuations are intense..."
"But it's missing that suffocating aura from during the surgery. Is it because she hasn't fully mastered the First Hokage's cells yet?"
"It seems the Wood Release she's unleashing now is still lacking..."
Despite his seemingly frantic escape, Shinji stayed true to his purpose, silently evaluating the strength of Yakumo's current "Wood Release" in his mind.
There was no doubt about it.
"Wood Release" wasn't all the same.
