Naruto: Wood-Wood Fruit

"Zzz..zzz..."

"Boom! Boom!"

The ground itself was being torn apart, piece by piece.

One violent bolt of lightning after another bombarded Anko relentlessly. 

The scale of the attack far surpassed what Kurenai and the others had endured earlier—an unstoppable force that left even the bravest feeling a chill down their spine.

Tsk, tsk, Anko thought, an amused smirk curling her lips as she gazed intently at the twin lightning swords in Raiga's hands. 

Excitement gleamed in her eyes as she licked her lips. "This just makes me want you even more."

There was no denying it—the power of the Kiba blades was indeed extraordinary. 

Not only could they produce lightning on their own, but they allowed Raiga to unleash large-scale Lightning-Style techniques without needing to weave hand signs. 

The swords even attracted natural lightning, channeling it into attacks and replenishing their energy, thus significantly reducing Raiga's chakra consumption.

In terms of enhancing combat power, Kiba far outclassed Zabuza's Kubikiribocho. 

While Raiga's strength was on par with Zabuza's, the enhancement provided by the Kiba pushed his abilities to a terrifying level.

"Anko-san." 

Hana and Yugao both shouted, their eyes widening in horror as Anko stood still, seemingly unworried by the terrifying barrage of lightning. But it was too late for them to help.

"Dark Release: Black Hole!"

With a calm smile, Anko raised her right hand toward the incoming lightning. 

Strange symbols emerged in her palm, spinning in a frenzy until they formed a black vortex. 

An overwhelming suction force erupted from this black hole, pulling in each destructive bolt of lightning.

One by one, the lightning bolts were swallowed whole.

"What?" Raiga gasped. "Dark Release?"

Only Kurenai remained unsurprised by this shocking scene. Yugao and Hana, on the other hand, were stunned, their eyes wide with disbelief.

"I'm returning your attack right back at you," Anko said with a cold smirk. Her gaze sharpened as she concentrated.

"Zzz…zzz…."

In an instant, the Black Hole in her palm unleashed a terrifying electric blast—redirecting the absorbed lightning bolts right back at Raiga.

"What?" Raiga's face turned pale as he reacted in shock, swiftly crossing his twin swords to summon a shield of lightning around himself.

"Ninja Art: Thunder Armour."

Bright lightning coalesced around him like solid armor, barely managing to withstand the ferocious lightning that had been hurled back. 

However, he was forced to retreat under the assault.

"Unbelievable." 

Yugao muttered, her face filled with amazement as she watched the astounding scene from afar. 

Even Hana was left speechless, her mouth agape in shock. It was beyond belief that Anko could not only absorb Raiga's technique but even reflect it with such force.

"Don't worry. Anko's strength is far greater than you might think." Kurenai said confidently. 

Only she knew that this was not even close to Anko's true power. A far more terrifying force lay dormant within her.

Kurenai herself had been feeling the effects of this new power as well. 

Her chakra reserves had grown immensely in recent days, many times greater than before. Gone were the days when her limited chakra constrained her.

Thinking of the powerful technique Kiyoshi had personally taught her, though she hadn't mastered it yet, Kurenai smiled with anticipation. 

Once she had it under control, her strength would undoubtedly rival Anko's.

Suddenly, Anko's figure shot forward from the ruined landscape, moving several times faster than before, like a lightning bolt in human form.

"Zzz..."

Tiny arcs of lightning danced across her body, visibly enhancing her speed and reflexes by stimulating her nerves and muscles.

"It's time to end this." She pressed her right hand against Raiga's lightning armor.

"Dark Release: Black Hole."

Her palm's vortex unleashed an unstoppable suction force, rapidly absorbing the lightning armor surrounding Raiga, converting it into chakra to replenish her own reserves.

Recently, Kiyoshi, who was researching space-time ninjutsu, had used Anko as his test subject. 

Working with both Danzo and Orochimaru, who was closely allied with him, Kiyoshi managed to obtain genes from a dark release user.

Utilizing a powerful dark release user's remains, along with some other genetic material, he created an artificial devil fruit specifically for Anko.

This allowed Kiyoshi to use the Spirit Transformation Jutsu to directly oversee Anko's training and help her master her curse mark abilities. 

By combining his expertise in sealing jutsu with information on space-time techniques from Root, he refined and enhanced her Dark Release abilities.

Anko's mastery over Dark Release had now far surpassed that of ordinary Kekkei Genkais. 

She could absorb not only jutsu and chakra but, if she chose, unleash a terrifying suction power far greater than Danzo's Baku summoning, strong enough to draw in people or objects and seal them within an inescapable alternate dimension.

This secondary application of Dark Release was something Kiyoshi developed exclusively for her—a sealing jutsu different from the Rinnegan's absorption technique, capable of sealing people and objects alike.

However, as a sealing technique, it had its limitations—it couldn't absorb the target's chakra.

This was precisely why Anko had refrained from using this ability until now, as she feared accidentally sealing the Kiba blades into another dimension.

Suddenly, Raiga's lightning armor vanished, absorbed by Anko's Dark Release. Alarmed, Raiga swung his swords toward her without hesitation.

"It's useless." Anko sneered, her form shifting before his eyes.

"Curse Mark Transformation." Her entire body darkened, her skin becoming black, her appearance shifting to something demonic and fearsome. 

Her eyes turned dark gold, exuding a frightening aura that sent shivers down Raiga's spine.

"Clang..."

Raiga stared in disbelief as Anko crossed her hardened arms in front of her, blocking his blades with her bare flesh.

"What?"

"Boom!" 

Raiga's eyes widened in shock. Suddenly, a sharp pain erupted in his abdomen as Anko's attack sent him flying backward, blood gushing from his mouth.

In a blink, her shadow appeared in front of him, her speed almost beyond comprehension. Raiga couldn't even react before she was right in his face, an unstoppable force.

"Dark Release: Judgement."

Anko raised her right hand, palm facing Raiga. The black hole spun in reverse, like a vortex ready to unleash devastation.

"Boom!"

A horrifying blue chakra blast surged out, compressed like a deadly cannon, and hurtled toward Raiga with blinding speed. 

"No—" Raiga's scream of terror and despair was swallowed as he was engulfed in the relentless, destructive energy.

"Arghhh…."
