Chapter 280 - 279 : Three Kinjutsu!!
Boom~~
A giant fire dragon swallowed the pillar whole.
With a deafening crash, flames exploded everywhere—but atop the thick vines, a figure still stood in the heart of the blaze.
He was completely engulfed in fire, standing tall and straight. Even under the intense flames and impact, his shoulders never bent.
"Damn... wasn’t that attack a bit too strong? You think he’s dead?"
One of the advancing shinobi muttered, clearly uneasy as he stared at the unmoving figure standing among the battlefield vines.
They were enemies, sure—but the mission was to capture him alive.
If he died... there’d be no way to explain it to the higher-ups.
"I don’t think so. That guy’s a Wood Release user—normal jutsu don’t hurt him that easily," said another shinobi who had also unleashed the Fire Dragon technique.
"But... his chakra’s almost gone," the first one said again, more anxious now. "Without chakra, he’s basically just a normal guy!"
"Eh?"
