Uchiha Fugaku gritted his teeth and said, he now has no desire to escape at all, only wanting to drag someone down to hell with him.
"Help me with your ability!"
After speaking, Uchiha Fugaku once again felt a massive impact from the ground. Luckily, he timely used Wood Release to cover his body with wooden planks, reducing the damage to the minimum.
However, he knew he couldn't stay underground for too long, and then barely formed a seal: "Wood Release: Deep Forest Emergence!"
With Tobi's help, Uchiha Fugaku's Wood Release Ninjutsu got greatly enhanced. He had only transplanted White Zetsu cells for a little over a month now but was already able to use this level of Wood Release.
Above ground.
After hammering the ground twice, Yugito noticed Uchiha Fugaku was still refusing to come out, and angrily said, "Fine, let's see how long you can endure, Immortal Technique: Inorganic Transmutation...."
But before Yugito could use the Immortal Technique, she suddenly sensed a massive Chakra underground, which was then instantly unleashed.
"Watch out!"
Yugito and Kushina simultaneously warned, and in the next second, suddenly a vast ocean of trees emerged from underground, branches regenerating, growing quickly under Uchiha Fugaku's reckless expenditure of Chakra during Deep Forest Emergence.
However, these rapidly produced Wood Release trees were only growing fast; Yugito could smash a portion with a punch, only for new ones to quickly grow again.
Kushina continued using Vajra Chains to bind Uchiha Fugaku's Wood Release trees, then crushed them directly; her Vajra Chains were much stronger than Uchiha Fugaku's Wood Release, and when the two collided, hers won by a wide margin.
Even Uchiha Mikota, after continuously using Instant Body Jutsu, was not fazed by Deep Forest Emergence.
Soon, the Wood Release trees turned the place into a forest.
Although Deep Forest Emergence had a grand scale, its killing power was not much of a trouble for the three; Uchiha Fugaku did not possess Madara's power, and Yugito's group was not weak.
Yugito used Sage Mode to sense but surprisingly did not detect Uchiha Fugaku's Chakra, so she turned to ask Kushina, "Where is that guy?"
"Give me a moment..."
Kushina closed her eyes and sensed, soon detecting a faint malice rushing towards Mikota's direction, its path was very peculiar, as if it was moving along the tree trunks.
"Mikota, be careful, Uchiha Fugaku is over by you!"
As soon as Kushina shouted, her pupils suddenly contracted. She saw Uchiha Fugaku, wrapped in a white substance, emerging from the tree behind Uchiha Mikota.
"Watch your back!"
Upon seeing this, Yugito's Chakra erupted, and she immediately used Instant Body Jutsu to rush towards Uchiha Mikota; meanwhile, Uchiha Mikota turned her head, a face full of shock and disbelief as she saw the sinister-looking Uchiha Fugaku.
"Die, scum..."
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!
Clang, clang, clang...
Several shurikens collided in the air, then four shurikens changed trajectory, heading straight towards Uchiha Fugaku.
Uchiha Fugaku realized the shurikens were coming at him, but there was no time to dodge, he could only raise his arms to shield his head.
Thud, thud, thud!
All four shurikens struck Uchiha Fugaku's arms, if he had insisted on killing Uchiha Mikota earlier, not only would he have slim chances of success, but he would also get struck in the throat.
After moving his arms, Uchiha Fugaku saw in disbelief that it was Uchiha Itachi who had thrown the shurikens at him.
"Itachi!!!"
Bang!
A silhouette suddenly appeared in front of Uchiha Fugaku, delivering a heavy punch to Uchiha Fugaku's body, the force was immense, deforming Uchiha Fugaku's entire body.
For a moment it seemed two seconds passed in silence, and then Uchiha Fugaku was suddenly launched like a cannonball, crashing through dozens of trees, finally smashing into the Vajra Barrier with a loud thud.
The backward impact even bulged the Vajra Barrier slightly.
After knocking Uchiha Fugaku away, Yugito turned to Uchiha Mikota and asked, "Are you alright?"
"I'm fine."
After regaining her composure, Mikota gently patted her chest, then exhaled and smiled at Yugito, "Thank you, Yugito."
At this time, Uchiha Itachi hurried to Mikota's side and worriedly asked, "Mother, are you alright, not hurt?"
"I'm fine, thanks to Itachi for saving me!"
Mikota happily hugged Itachi, ignoring the approaching Kushina and Uchiha Shisui, planting a kiss on Itachi's forehead.
Uchiha Itachi said somewhat bashfully, "Mother, there are others around...."
Uchiha Shisui saw this and quickly said, "I'll go check on Fugaku the traitorous ninja." Then he used Instant Body Jutsu to leave.
"He shouldn't be dead, there's still a breath left."
Kushina deactivated Nine-tails Chakra Mode and smiled at everyone present, but just as she spoke, the Four Purple Flame Array outside was suddenly lifted, making her laugh lightly, "The Barrier Team outside knows we won, this is too...."
Itachi softly reminded, "Kushina Aunt, there should be two enemies, one of them originally snuck underground, you forgot..."
Thanks to Itachi's reminder, Kushina, Yugito, and others immediately recalled there was another person beside Uchiha Fugaku.
"Right, forgot about that guy, damn it..."
Kushina quickly used Nine-tails Chakra Mode, but just as she sensed a faint malice, before she could speak, the malice vanished beyond her perception range.
At this moment, a shadow clone in the sky looked towards where Black Zetsu had fled, and then disappeared with a bang. Meanwhile, in the hospital, Uchiha Yoichi received all the memories of the battle.
In the end, Itachi stood on his side with Mikota, becoming an excellent son and pillar of the village.
At this time, Shizune approached Uchiha Yoichi worriedly and asked, "Lord Yoichi, how come there's no sound after Lady Tsunade went in?"
"With her strong temperament, how could she let you hear her scream in pain, she's fine."
Uchiha Yoichi comforted, he had previously given Tsunade plenty of life energy, even a forty-year-old Tsunade, or a seventy-year-old Tsunade could safely give birth.
As for the battlefield south of Ninja World Paradise, it was now in the closing stages.
Fortunately, Ninja Paradise was closed in advance, otherwise, the battle would have surely frightened nearby civilians, because the previous tremors were something the barrier couldn't block.
After Uchiha Shisui arrived by Uchiha Fugaku, he also captured the fleeing Tobi, handing him over to Uzumaki Minami for sealing.
This monster is strange, let's have the Sealing Team closely guard.
As for Uchiha Fugaku, he needs to be sensed for healing, otherwise, intelligence would have to be extracted from his corpses; the punch from Yugito earlier, without Tobi's protection on Fugaku's body, would have pierced him through.
Later, Uchiha Shisui learned from Uchiha Masato that the Four Purple Flame Array was breached from underground; once one side was broken, the other sides couldn't maintain it.
"So one enemy escaped..."
Uchiha Shisui sighed, both he and Uchiha Masato felt a bit embarrassed, so many people from the Security Team deployed, yet someone managed to escape right under their noses.
The two didn't realize this was Uchiha Yoichi's intentional indulgence, after all, Black Zetsu is a product of Kaguya's consciousness, without Black Zetsu, Kaguya's consciousness couldn't be awakened.
Compared to Uchiha Madara, Uchiha Yoichi was more interested in meeting this ancestor from a thousand years ago.
Then Uchiha Masato instructed the Security Team to wrap up nearby, personally escorting Uchiha Fugaku to the village.
Upon knowing Uchiha Fugaku was not dead, Itachi also breathed a sigh of relief, but then began to ponder how to plead with his father, to spare 'him' this once.
