Chapter 228 : Weak??
"What kind of jutsu is this? These vines... it's like they're alive. Damn it!"
Rat swung his blade, cutting through the vines that coiled around him while scanning for a safe retreat point.
But it wasn't just the vines that were troublesome—they were covered in sharp barbs.
By the time he managed to escape their attack range, his clothes were already torn in several places.
Blood trickled from his wounds, especially around his ankles, where the barbs had cut deeper. His legs were now soaked in blood.
"Is this... Wood Release?"
Another shinobi stumbled out, his face filled with disbelief as he stared at the dense vine-covered forest ahead. His voice carried a hint of fear.
"Wasn't Wood Release supposed to be a lost Kekkei Genkai? How is someone still able to use it?"
He couldn't wrap his head around it.
"Wood Release...?"
Rat's pupils shrank as he muttered the words under his breath.
