Simultaneous Transmigration: From Japanese Anime to American Comics

Chapter 9: Arrival of the World of Trees

As before, the three Chu Yangs only stayed briefly in the palace before being swallowed by the mist.

When they awoke, they had already returned to their respective worlds.

In the pirate world, Chu Yang was receiving cheers from his crew on the pirate ship. In the magic world, Chu Yang was preparing for his admission to a new school.

Naruto World

A great war, one that could change the entire landscape of the ninja world, was about to break out.

At this time, ninja villages had yet to form. It was an era dominated by clans, a time marked by chaos and wars.

In the ninja world, two of the most prestigious clans were mobilizing their forces, preparing for a decisive battle.

The Senju Clan.

The Uchiha Clan.

The war between these two clans had been ongoing for many years. In a way, their history of conflict was the history of the ninja world.

As the war dragged on, their frontlines grew longer, which also brought about logistical challenges.

Chu Yang, just having returned from the Soul Palace, immediately received orders from his clan. He was to join a small squad tasked with ambushing an Uchiha supply unit.

This had become the norm in the ongoing war.

The Senju Clan's supply lines were also frequently attacked by the Uchiha.

Both sides had adapted to these ambushes, turning the situation into a game of reconnaissance and counter-reconnaissance.

Chu Yang's squad spent two days tracking the enemy supply team across the grasslands before pinpointing their location.

Night fell, and the Uchiha supply team set up camp downstream near a small river. Chu Yang's squad hid in the nearby woods, lying in ambush.

"The Sharingan of the Uchiha may not be as good as the Byakugan of the Hyuga for reconnaissance, but it's still a powerful observation tool."

"When we act, be sure to control your chakra flow and avoid alerting the enemy."

The squad leader repeatedly reminded the team members, who were all very young and had little experience fighting the Uchiha.

One of them was a boy who had just joined the war.

The squad leader glanced at Chu Yang, then shook his head silently. Young and inexperienced people like him were usually the first to die on the battlefield.

Under the cover of darkness, the squad silently entered the river, slowly swimming toward the enemy camp.

At the rear of the squad, Chu Yang sensed something was off.

There were very few enemy sentries, not enough to fully guard the camp's perimeter. Especially near the riverbank, there wasn't a single person in sight.

The camp was eerily quiet, as if everyone inside was in a deep sleep.

Such behavior in the wild was incredibly dangerous.

Chu Yang wanted to alert the squad leader, but unfortunately, the leader was far ahead, too distant for Chu Yang to communicate with.

Once they reached the shore, Chu Yang finally had the chance to express his concerns to the leader. Unfortunately, the leader, seeing his young age, dismissed his worries.

Chu Yang sighed. If he couldn't convince them, he would just have to be extra cautious himself.

The squad leader quietly slipped into a tent...

The other team members scattered around the camp, waiting for the leader's signal to eliminate the resting Uchiha.

But instead of a signal, they were met with a chilling scream!

Something was wrong!

At that moment, firelight flared from all directions, and the camp was suddenly flooded with Uchiha ninjas!

The next instant...

Chu Yang saw the squad leader being dragged out of the tent like a dead dog by the Uchiha.

They had fallen into a trap!

"Try to break through!"

Someone in the squad suddenly shouted, and in an instant, several panicked ninjas attempted to flee in different directions.

"Idiots! Splitting up now is just asking to die. The enemy has already prepared traps for us!" Chu Yang couldn't help but curse angrily.

Sure enough, those who tried to escape were quickly slain by the Uchiha, who had already laid in ambush.

Seeing this, the remaining Senju members hurriedly regrouped around Chu Yang.

"Attack!"

The leading Uchiha clearly didn't want to give their enemies a chance to breathe.

A fierce battle broke out!

After a few exchanges, Chu Yang realized that these enemies were far too powerful to be a mere supply team.

This so-called supply unit had been a trap all along!

"We'll make the Senju pay!"

The Uchiha were well-prepared, both in terms of numbers and strength. Chu Yang's group quickly found themselves at a disadvantage!

However!

The Uchiha had miscalculated.

Since returning from the Soul Palace, Chu Yang's talents and powers had tripled.

His mastery of Wood Release and chakra levels had increased to the point where he could now barely perform some high-level Wood Release techniques.

Just as the Senju forces were being overwhelmed, Chu Yang stepped forward and began forming hand seals.

The earth trembled.

Massive trees burst from the ground, rapidly creating a forest that engulfed the Uchiha ninjas.

Wood Release: Advent of a World of Trees

This was the only high-level jutsu Chu Yang had mastered, but it wasn't the full version of Advent of a World of Trees. Even if Chu Yang used up all his chakra, he could only manage a fraction of the original technique's power.

It was more like a weaker version of Yamato's Nativity of a Sea of Trees.

Its strength was somewhere between S-rank and A-rank, but even so, it was more than enough to deal with the Uchiha ninjas.

Under Chu Yang's control, the forest turned into a monstrous predator, continuously strangling and trapping the Uchiha.

The Uchiha were completely overwhelmed, with no place to stand safely. Every step became a battleground.

Some of the Uchiha who specialized in Fire Release attempted to burn the forest down, unleashing a barrage of fire jutsu.

But they had never encountered Wood Release before.

The fire was nowhere near fast enough to destroy the forest, which regenerated much quicker than they could burn it.

No matter how hard they tried, the endless forest always reappeared, leaving them in despair.

And this was only the incomplete version of Advent of a World of Trees!

The Uchiha were utterly suppressed, and the Senju forces quickly seized the momentum to counterattack!

With the help of other Senju members, most of the Uchiha were killed within the forest. In the blink of an eye, the tides of battle had turned!

This was the sheer power of Wood Release on the battlefield, capable of determining the outcome of a small-scale war!

After the destruction of the forest, the remaining enemies fled in terror, and the exhausted Chu Yang didn't pursue them.

The surviving Senju members gathered around Chu Yang, all of them expressing their gratitude.

"Yang! We owe you our lives. Without you, we'd all be dead here!"

"I can't believe you know Clan Leader Hashirama's Wood Release!"

"I heard that Clan Leader Hashirama has taken on some young disciples to teach his unique Wood Release. Are you one of them?"

The clan members stared at Chu Yang in shock.
