Reborn in Naruto As Madara's Grandson

Chapter 531: 496. Fire Vs Wood Part-1

"Dad!"

Karin answers Minato's message. Minato informs Karin of the situation ahead and asks her to provide assistance.

"Leave it to me, Dad!"

Karin increases her pace and rushes into the location of Zetsu Tobi.

Swoosh...

Soon, she reaches the battlefield and notices Tobi wreaking havoc on the allied shinobi force.

"Wood Release: Wood Spike transformation Jutsu,"

Tobi raises his left hand. His left-hand turns into a wooden stake. He stabs the spike into the ground.

Shoom...

Several wooden stakes erupt from the ground and pierce through the allied force shinobis. The wooden spikes drain the chakra of their victims and channel it towards Tobi.

"I am full of juice again!"

Tobi cracks his neck.

Whoosh... Shoom...

Suddenly, a giant fireball flies out of nowhere and strikes Tobi's position.

BOOM...

A pillar of crimson flames erupts at the place of impact. The crimson flames incinerate the surrounding wooden spikes.

"Did I get him?" Karin glances at the spot.

Swoosh... whoosh...

Suddenly, a white figure leaps out of the ground and appears behind her.

"I got you!"

The figure's left-hand turns into a wooden hand while his right-hand turns into a ring of spikes that encloses Karin's neck.

"Kuku... it's over!"

Stab... Splash...

The wooden spiked ring pierces through Karin's neck and beheads her with a burst of blood fountain.

Poof...

Karin's body vanishes into a puff of smoke and disappears.

"A shadow clone!"

Tobi tilts his head and looks around in confusion.

Swish... swish...

Suddenly, several fuinjutsu runes appear beneath him and create a Fuinjutsu formation. The smoke from Karin's clones disperses to reveal two Fuinjutsu talismans.

The fuinjutsu talisman falls on each of his sides. They emit a brilliant glow and several sealing runes crawl out of their surface. These runes bind Tobi's body.

"What the..."

Before Tobi could free himself, the fuinjutsu formation beneath him emit a bright glow.

BOOM...

A powerful explosion covers the entire area, and another pillar of volatile explosive energy that is almost ten times the previous one erupts at Tobi's position.

"Did I finish him off?"

Karin, who is hiding behind a tree in a nearby forest, glances at the location of the explosion.

Shiing...

Suddenly, her senses warn her of a chakra response.

Whoosh...

Karin immediately jumps back and avoids the grab of the tree in front of her by a hair's breadth.

Fwoosh...

Tobi's figure slowly crawls out of the tree trunk and glances at Karin.

The surrounding trees also bend their trunks and create an inescapable net around Karin.

Tch...

Karin clicks her tongue and makes a series of hand signs. A fuinjutsu formation beneath her palm in mid-air.

"Summoning Jutsu: Fire Golem Demon,"

Poof...

With a burst of white smoke, a giant orange figure appears on the battlefield. Scarlet flames cover the giant orange figure like a cloak.

"Detonate!"

Karin shrinks her body and shrouds herself with her Adamantine Sealing chains. The giant golem opens its mouth and fires a beam of chakra toward the ground.

BOOM...

A powerful explosion burst forth at the point of impact. A ring of scarlet flames explodes outwards. This ring of flames razes the entire forest to ashes. The powerful fire technique scorches the ground and raises the temperature of the surroundings by several degrees. A hellish scene of smoldering flames, ashes, and patches of lava covers the former forest.

Karin uses the force of the explosion to propel herself in the air. She performs a few backflips and lands on the shoulder of the giant Fire golem demon.

Huff... Huff...

Karin breathes heavily and looks at her surroundings. Smoke and dust cover her field of view.

Shoom...

Suddenly, several tree branches erupt in front of her and entangle the giant fire golem demon.

"Wood Release: Nativity of a Sea of Trees,"

Rumble... rumble...

The ground trembles with an earthquake. Several trees sprout erupt from the ground and in an instant, the former forest returns to its previous glory. The trees continue to grow in size and several trees even reach the height of tens of meters in a matter of seconds.

These gigantic trees wrap around the giant fire golem demon like a vine and bind it in a place.

Tobi stands on top of another tree and makes a series of hand signs.

"Wood Release: Great Forest Jutsu,"

Tobi stretches his arms forward toward the giant Fire Golem demon. A huge amount of chakra enters his arm, and it transforms into a gigantic trunk of a wooden tree.

Several spiked branches split out of the wooden trunk and turn into gigantic stakes. Tobi thrust his hand forward in an attempt to penetrate through the body of the giant summons.

ROOOAARR...

The giant fire demon unleashes a powerful roar. The scarlet flame within the hollow chest of the golem gathers into a powerful heat ray.

SHOOM...

The heat ray collides with the barrage of wooden stakes and incinerates it to ashes. The giant golem turns around and burns down the entire forest to ashes.

Rumble... rumble...

A gigantic wooden dragon jumps out of the ground and bites the shoulder of the fire demon.

ROOAAR...

The fire demon releases a cry of misery and grabs the head of the wooden dragon.

Two giant wooden arms erupt from the ground and grab the legs of the giant fire demon.

Several spikes morph from the surface of the wooden arms and puncture into the skin of the fire demon.

ROOARR...

The fire demon releases a miserable scream and attempts to free itself from the grasp of the giant tree.

Karin, who has recovered from the previous consumption of the summoning jutsu, releases two giant Adamantine chains from her back.

The giant adamantine chains lock around the neck of the dragon and pull it downward.

The fire demon lowers its body and stabs its hand into the ground.

Crack... crack...

Numerous cracks appear on the ground as the fire demon lifts a portion of the ground.

Shuah...

It infuses its fire into the giant portion of the ground and converts it into a gigantic club.

"How wonderful!" Tobi praises Karin's persistence.

He claps his hand together.

"Wood Release: Giant Wood Golem Jutsu,"

The giant wooden hands press on the ground and an enormous humanoid wooden figure erupts out of the ground.

The giant wooden golem easily dwarves the surroundings and stands toe-to-toe with the giant fire demon in size.

The wooden dragon breaks free from Karin's chains and becomes a part of the wooden golem's back.

"WHAT?!"

Karin's eyes widen in shock as she stares at the gigantic wooden golem.

The fire golem demon she just summoned is a part of the Uzumaki legacy. Kushina was quite pleased with Karin's bloodline since she has close ties with the royal bloodline of the Uzumaki clan.

So, Kushina taught several Fuinjutsu techniques to Karin and allowed her to inherit the legacy of the Uzumaki clan. Being half Uzumaki, Naruto wasn't suitable for several Uzumaki techniques. So, in the end, Kushina taught these techniques to Karin.

After completing her training, Kushina helped her sign a summoning contract with this giant fire demon. During the past several centuries, the Uzumaki clan sealed several creatures with their powerful seals.

Later, with time, they subdued these creatures and signed a summoning contract with them.

ROAAR...

The giant wooden golem also releases a roar and charges toward the giant fire demon. The giant fire demon accepts the provocation and sprints toward the giant wooden golem.

Rumble... rumble...

The ground trembles from their charge.

BOOM...

Their clash emits a powerful shockwave.

-----------------------

Hmm...

Back in the thick mist,

Both Mei and the Second Mizukage also sense the powerful chakra signature and shockwaves in the distance.

"Oh, a wood-style user. Interesting!"

Gengetsu narrows his eyes. A smile appears on his face.

"Little girl, looks like your enemies are prepared this time."

"So, are we!"

Mei releases another attack toward the former Mizukage.

"That seems to be the case. I didn't expect to see surviving Uzumaki clan members. I thought we wiped the entire clan back then."

He turns his attention to Mei.

"Looks like you are running out of juice, little girl!" Gengetsu notices the decreased intensity of Mei's attacks.

Mei bites her lips.

'Izumi, how long?'

'Found it!' Izumi's excited message voice appears from the other side.

Suddenly,

Hmm...

Gengetsu raises his head and stares in a direction. A giant pillar of purple lightning rises in the distance. The lightning pillar turns into a giant lightning blade.

Boom...

With a powerful burst of a lightning bolt, the lightning blade strikes down.

Rumble... rumble...

Massive waves surge on the sea's surface. The giant lightning blade not only cleaves the seawater but also cleaves the surrounding mist in half.

"Well done!"

Gengetsu praises Mei's effort.

Shoom...

In the next second, a giant clam shell appears in front of Izumi. The lightning blade cleaved the giant clam shell in half.

Poof...

With a puff of white smoke, the giant clam shell disappears from the battlefield. With the disappearance of the giant clam shell, the surrounding mist also slowly thins down; thus, breaking the effects of Second Mizukage's Genjutsu.

The real body of Gengetsu appears a few meters away from Mei.

"You subordinate did well, little girl! However, it looks like you are finally out of juice." He notices Mei's pale face.

He points his fingers toward Mei. Large amount of chakra gathers around his fingers.

"Little girl, I can't control myself. Brace yourself for the Water Bullet barrage of the Hozuki clan."
