As Danzo's words fell, the surrounding four ninjas suddenly formed seals with their hands.
A huge light screen, semi-spherical and faintly black, suddenly appeared, enveloping Kai and Danzo's group within it.
"What is this thing!?"
Kai looked at the black screen that engulfed him and asked with interest.
Danzo's expression was calm, and he patiently explained:
"Outer Four Symbols Barrier! A barrier technique developed by the Second Hokage. When he was developing the Flying Thunder God Technique, the Second Hokage anticipated situations like yours, so he developed this barrier. Within this barrier, the Flying Thunder God's technique cannot be sensed by the caster, meaning the Flying Thunder God Technique is ineffective here!"
Kai frowned and sensed the markings on the Flying Thunder God kunai in his ninja tool pouch.
Indeed, he couldn't sense even a trace of existence.
Although he had already fused the Divine Descent, if he were simply using the Flying Thunder God Technique or the Mind's Eye of the Kagura, he could still sense the markings of the Flying Thunder God Technique.
Truly, the Second Hokage Tobirama Senju was extremely meticulous, leaving countless contingencies even after his death.
For example, the Impure World Reincarnation Technique is the same; as long as one knows the sealing sequence of the Impure World Reincarnation, they can reverse the seals at the moment of reincarnation to escape its control.
Seeing that Kai only frowned but showed no sign of panic, a trace of unease rose in Danzo's heart, and he sternly questioned:
"Mitarashi Kai, as long as you join the Root and come under my control, I can overlook everything you've done before."
Before Kai could speak, a Hyuga clan member standing beside him expressed dissatisfaction and said, "Danzo, that's not what you said before. Mitarashi Kai must die!"
"Indeed, the Hyuga clan is still unwilling to give up, huh?"
Kai was well aware that ever since he revealed the existence of the Mind's Eye of the Kagura, the Hyuga clan had regarded him as a major threat, attempting to assassinate him several times, only to be thwarted by Mitarashi Shishio and Sakumo Hatake.
Danzo teaming up with the Hyuga clan was simply a case of collusion, a perfect match.
Without any intention of obeying Danzo, several Hyuga clan ninjas directly charged at Kai.
Gentle Fist Art: Eight Trigrams One Hundred Twenty-Eight Palms!
The fierce palm wind directly attacked Kai without any reservation, unleashing one hundred twenty-eight palms right from the start, clearly intending to kill Kai.
"Gentle Fist, huh? Perfect timing to see whether the Hyuga clan's Gentle Fist is stronger or my Steel Fist!"
Without dodging, Kai boldly threw a punch at the charging Hyuga clan ninja!
Steel Fist: Successive Force!
Although Steel Fist was merely a skill Kai obtained from a beginner's reputation draw, its level was not much different from the Hyuga clan's Gentle Fist.
But just like how the Great Fireball Technique could have the power of a forbidden technique in the hands of Madara Uchiha.
With the physique honed by the Lightning Release Chakra Mode, the power of Kai's Steel Fist was certainly not something the Gentle Fist could compare to.
The Hyuga clan ninja at the forefront was directly hit by Kai, and the whole person was blasted away by Kai's punch, crashing into the light screen generated by the Outer Four Symbols Barrier.
Kai's offensive did not pause, he turned to attack the remaining Hyuga clan ninjas.
The Hyuga clan ninjas were clearly unprepared for Kai's formidable taijutsu, and in shock, they hurriedly retracted their Gentle Fist offensive.
A layer of pale blue chakra burst from their bodies, and then they began to spin, raising individual pale blue spherical chakra protective shields around themselves.
Eight Trigrams Palms: Revolving Heaven!
The Hyuga clan's strongest defensive taijutsu!
Those sent by the Hyuga clan to assist Danzo in assassinating Kai were at least at the level of Jonin, the elite ninjas of the Hyuga main house, and they were qualified to learn Revolving Heaven, despite it being a secret technique of the Hyuga clan.
Kai's Steel Fist struck the Revolving Heaven, and it seemed as if the Revolving Heaven was about to collapse.
"Fools!"
Danzo cursed with a dark expression.
"Hyuga clan members, use Gentle Fist to restrict Mitarashi Kai's actions. Root squad, use ninjutsu to disrupt his movements. I will personally capture Mitarashi Kai!" Danzo commanded.
"Surrender, Mitarashi Kai!"
Dodging several shurikens shot at him, Kai looked at the sinister Danzo in front of him and said, "Danzo, who gave you this confidence?"
"You are merely an elite Jonin at best. The Flying Thunder God Technique cannot be used in this barrier, and you only possess the Lava Release. If you surrender, I assure you that even under my control, your emotions will not be extinguished." Danzo continued.
"Only Lava Release? Then let me show you personally a technique you are more familiar with!"
Hearing Danzo's words, Kai suddenly laughed and said, quickly forming seals with his hands.
Wood Release: All Encompassing Bags Technique!
The technique hailed as the strongest release in the ninja world, descending once more after the death of Hashirama Senju!
Since Kai fused the Wood Release, he had never stopped researching Wood Release techniques.
After all, Kai was well aware of how Hashirama Senju used Wood Release to variously overpower Madara Uchiha in the original narrative, investing even more effort than in Lava Release.
Of course, for Wood Release techniques like Wood Locking Wall, Inserting Technique, and Wood Clone, Kai had no desire to develop them; he was interested in the powerful Wood Release techniques wielded by Hashirama Senju.
Although he couldn't fully recreate the power of Hashirama Senju's Wood Release, as Hashirama was a warrior surpassing the Kage level.
However, Kai had developed several powerful Wood Release techniques.
For example, this Wood Release: All Encompassing Bags Technique!
Several enormous wooden hands rose from the ground, directly grabbing the Root squad ninjas and Hyuga clan ninjas attacking him. Since it wasn't sage chakra, the hands formed by Kai's All Encompassing Bags Technique weren't as large as Hashirama Senju's.
"This is, Wood Release!!!"
Danzo's eyes showed a shocked expression, which was quickly overtaken by greed.
Hashirama Senju used Wood Release to bring peace to the chaotic world, something Danzo had personally experienced and understood, and he had never stopped researching Wood Release.
"Wood Release! I must obtain it. With the power of Wood Release, I can surely surpass Sarutobi and become Hokage!" Danzo shouted in his heart, unable to suppress his inner greed any longer.
"Danzo! Did you think that was all?" Kai's voice faintly reached Danzo's ears.
