Konoha: Tsunade, I am the Hokage!

Chapter 119 White Fang is dead, but Konoha still has us!

At night, Jingyan finally got a good night's sleep.

After winning the battle, Orochimaru has some free time and doesn't need to deal with the surrounding dispatches and arrangements today.

but.

Storms were brewing in the east and north, and it looked like war might break out at any moment.

Namikaze Minato and Kyohiko can deal with even Kage-level ninjas together. If they activate the Sage Mode, they can even stand on equal terms with Kage-level ninjas.

In addition, Kakashi's Lightning Release Rasengan, combined with Kurenai's illusion cover, can also achieve a very strong assassination effect.

In this war, the two of them joined forces and killed a total of three jonin and countless chuunins.

It can be said that they are the strongest and most versatile mobile team at the moment. They can be of great use in any situation, and they will definitely be indispensable in future wars.

Therefore, they could not rest for a few days.

but.

[As a Hokage, strength is also an important factor]

[Personally killed the powerful enemy 'Third Generation Kazekage' to eliminate the enemy for Konoha and forced the Sand Village to surrender]

[Reward: Wood Release Enhancement]

After the Wood Release technique was improved, it reached the "proficient" level.

Jingyan closed his eyes and felt it.

After obtaining the bloodline limit of Wood Release, he has been trying to explore and develop its greater potential, at least to the point where he can use it.

Previously, it had been limited by its own capabilities and could only create vines, shrubs or inanimate trees.

And now.

By integrating new Wood Release knowledge and techniques, Jingyan felt that he should be able to reach the same level as Yamato in the future.

In terms of Wood Release alone, he is not that strong, but Jingyan's advantage lies in himself——

His chakra is stronger than Yamato's, and not just a little bit stronger.

Sage Mode, Yin Seal.

When both are activated together, the power will definitely be stronger than the future Yamato.

Jingyan controlled the growth of the sapling, and then quietly retracted his chakra.

Wood Release Enhancement...

but.

No matter how powerful Wood Release was in the past, it only means that Hashirama Senju is very strong. When a normal person uses Wood Release, at most it is just like A Fei controlling Yamato.

The supermodel is Hashirama Senju and Ashura's Chakra, not the Wood Release Bloodline Genkai itself.

How to integrate it into your own system and make it work for your own benefit is the key at present.

Stronger Wood Release means more varied and complex abilities. The most practical technique is undoubtedly -

Wood clone!
Jingyan formed seals with his hands and tried to use the shadow clone method to integrate the Wood Release chakra.

soon……

A piece of wood emerged from his body and slowly split apart to take on a human shape.

Wooden clone, success!

Jingyan took a glance and probably thanks to his knowledge of Shadow Clone Technique and Wood Release, the Wood Clone directly reached the "Mastery" level.

"too slow."

He was not very satisfied.

Shadow clones do not go through the process of wood growth and can be directly differentiated and put into battle immediately, but wooden clones cannot do this.

but.

The wooden clone is more powerful and more difficult to distinguish.

Besides, would it be faster to use it to enter Sage Mode?
Jingyan's mind moved and he looked at the wooden clone.

The clone nodded.

Then, he stood there, forming a seal with one hand—

This is the Seal of Tranquility developed by Jing Yan based on the "Art of Nirvana". It can quickly calm one's emotions and bring one into a peaceful state without any disturbances.

Jingyan counted the time in his mind.

One minute.

One and a half minutes...

The wooden clone seemed to "disappear" from sight in an instant.

Unable to sense or detect.

This is a state of complete integration into nature. As long as you remain stable afterwards, you can enter the sage mode.

In less than two minutes, Mu's clone opened his eyes and entered Sage Mode.

Afterwards, the wood clone was released, and chakra and memory returned.

The time is cut in half, the entry is faster and more stable, and it is less affected by the forces of nature...

as expected.

Jingyan's lips curled up slightly, and he couldn't stop smiling.

Compared with the shadow clone, the wood clone is closer to nature and easier to integrate with the earth and nature, making it easier to enter the Sage Mode.

Then.

Is it possible to use the Wood Release technique to bring oneself closer to the state of a wood clone, so as to quickly enter the Sage Mode?

It can be studied.

"Except for the wooden clone..."

Jingyan thought of more uses.

Restraint and control.

In addition, you can also study how to absorb chakra through Wood Release.

He set his sights.

I was just about to lie down and have a good sleep.

Suddenly, Jingyan sensed a special chakra fluctuation coming from the soil. This perception seemed like instinct, and perhaps it was also the effect of the improvement of his bloodline limit.

He went to the window.

The next moment, Orochimaru emerged from the soil.

Orochimaru asked, "Were you trying Sage Mode just now?"

When he was lurking over, he felt that Jingyan's clone disappeared for a moment, and then was in a state of being there and not there again.

He guessed that Jingyan should be trying out the "power of immortals".

Jingyan nodded.

Orochimaru sighed silently.

Sage Mode, a powerful and mysterious force. Unfortunately, in Ryuchi Cave, he has no chance to come into contact with that level of power for the time being.

In comparison, Jiraiya was ahead of him.

but.

He was not enthusiastic about this power.

Orochimaru was only slightly envious and curious, and quickly changed the subject, saying, "Kyohiko-kun, what do you think of my previous proposal?"

"First-generation cells?"

Jingyan asked back.

Orochimaru nodded, "Yes."

He entered the house and set up a silent barrier, then smiled and said, "Don't get me wrong, I have no ill will towards you, and I won't threaten you. I just want to see if a ninja who controls Wood Release can safely fuse his cells."

"You can give it a try."

Jingyan nodded.

If he could fuse the cells directly, it would be a significant improvement for him.

Orochimaru's eyes revealed excitement.

He pulled out a scroll and carefully unsealed it.

Then, a bottle emerged.

Inside the bottle, the special blood and flesh cells are filled with a powerful aura.

Jingyan's face was serious.

Primary cells.

Even through the glass bottle, he could still feel the incredible vitality. This powerful flesh and blood could corrode any body.

He might not be able to stop it.

"Less. If there is a backlash, we can just cut off some of the flesh and blood to avoid being eroded."

Orochimaru instructed.

Then he took out a knife and carefully cut out a small piece of it.

As small as debris, it is almost invisible to the naked eye.

Jingyan carefully cut a small cut in the fleshy part of his arm, and blood flowed out.

He would then extract the chakra in advance.

"I will enter the perception state first, and you will fit it into the location of my wound."

"can."

Orochimaru nodded.

Jingyan sat cross-legged, used the meditation seal to bring himself into a peaceful state, and then closed his eyes to sense himself.

This perception is not internal vision, but combined with the exploration techniques in medical ninjutsu, it can allow him to feel the changes in his body more clearly.

Orochimaru attached the cells to the wound.

After a while, it regenerates and heals quickly.

The powerful vitality eroded Jingyan's body, but under the resistance of chakra, its erosion was very slow. It did not immediately attack the arm, but spread outward with difficulty.

but.

He can feel it...

There is a life force that emanates from the cells.

Jingyan's mind moved.

He formed a seal with one hand and then slapped the ground.

A tree grew rapidly under Orochimaru's feet, with vines growing on it, which quickly tied Orochimaru to the tree.

Orochimaru was stunned at first, and then he felt his chakra draining away.

The trees were absorbing his power!
"Success?"

Although he was tied up, Orochimaru could not hide his excitement.

Jingyan shook his head.

He drew out his short sword, gritted his teeth and dug out the piece of flesh, then used medical ninjutsu to heal it.

“Not a success.”

"Then this is?"

Orochimaru looked at the vines on his body in surprise.

This kind of Wood Release that absorbs chakra and has life can only be done by the first Hokage, and it was also difficult to do before Jingyan.

But it was this kind of ninjutsu that trapped him now.

This is clearly the real Wood Release!

Jingyan used hand seals to dispel the ninjutsu.

Then he invited Orochimaru to sit down.

Orochimaru is still more valuable to him when he is not crazy.

Jing Yan thought for a moment and said, "You can assume that I can borrow its vitality and chakra, but I cannot fuse them. I must always separate chakra to prevent it from eroding my body."

After hearing this, Orochimaru was immediately disappointed: "Even you can't fuse?"

"That's the way it looks at the moment."

Jingyan nodded.

Orochimaru sighed, "What a pity."

"Do you have any more bottles?"

"Have."

Orochimaru casually took out a bottle used for experiments.

Jingyan placed the flesh and blood inside, and then applied two seals, and then said: "Perhaps, we can consider using some kind of seal to restrict it to a certain area, and then use Wood Release Ninjutsu to mobilize its power."

"Curse seal, transfer?"

Orochimaru pondered, then smiled and praised, "Not a bad idea. If you can complete such a curse, you can borrow its vitality and chakra to strengthen yourself."

“It’s hard to achieve!”

Kyohiko sighed.

Orochimaru nodded, then he smiled and said, "I have an idea."

"Immortal body?"

"Kyohiko-kun, you see, we are indeed the same kind of people!"

Orochimaru licked his lips excitedly.

What he thought of was also the immortal body!
Very normal.

Because you will study that stuff in the future.

Jingyan complained in his heart.

"Use a curse to seal the power of flesh and blood. In this way, won't everyone have the physique of an immortal?"

Orochimaru suppressed his excitement and said expectantly, "Kyohiko-kun, you will help me, right?"

"It's hard."

Jingyan shook his head.

Then, he took a deep breath and said, "I will help you, but you can't conduct experiments at the cost of other people's lives, otherwise I will deal with you together with the teacher and Sister Tsunade!"

Orochimaru was silent. He looked at Kyohiko with a hint of disappointment in his eyes.

However, soon, Orochimaru smiled.

"If you help me, I can agree to your terms."

"Is this true for any ninjutsu experiment?"

"can."

Orochimaru nodded.

He smiled and said, "You are the person closest to the First Hokage that I have ever met. I may be able to find the secret of immortality through you. It doesn't matter if the experiment is a little slow."

What Orochimaru fears is that there is no hope.

but.

There was a hope before his eyes.

Then what's the reason to refuse?
"Happy cooperation!"

Jingyan held out his hand.

Orochimaru raised his hand, received a palm strike, and said with a smile: "You are much smarter than Jiraiya. The greatest luck of that idiot is to accept you as his disciple!"

"Thank you."

Jingyan responded with a smile.

He stopped.

At this time, Orochimaru threw something over.

Jingyan took it.

It's a sealed scroll.

"There are some sundries and bottles placed inside. You can use it to store some interesting blood and physical materials. We can study them together when we have time."

Then, Orochimaru smiled and disappeared into the ground.

Jingyan looked at the sealing scroll in his hand, and then sealed the sealing bottle he had just obtained into the scroll.

Sealed scroll.

This thing is very expensive, and you may not be able to buy it even if you have money.

What's more, he also got the "Hashirama Cells" and the agreement of cooperation from Orochimaru.

Blood earned!
……

next morning.

Wow!

Jingyan kept trying Wood Release outside the house.

He lived on Mount Kikyo, far away from the foot of the mountain. Most of the people there were Anbu and Jonin, so he was not afraid of the leakage of ninjutsu information.

and.

Ye Cang had already used it, and he didn't plan to hide it for long.

However, the reactions of the others were not so calm.

"This, this is Wood Release?!"

Aburame Shiwei stuttered as she spoke.

He is not the first and he will not be the last.

Jingyan nodded calmly.

"Yes."

"How could you..."

Aburame Shiwei was extremely shocked, and then he sighed with a complicated feeling, "Wood Release, this is Wood Release! Why are you not excited at all?"

He usually doesn't talk much, but now he is quite talkative.

"I've been excited for a long time."

Jingyan smiled.

After a day of experimenting and studying, he had become very proficient in the Wood Release technique and his speed in creating wood clones had also increased.

He just wanted to try whether he could use his own power to make Wood Release have the ability to absorb chakra.

pity.

No matter how he recalled or pondered, he was unable to do it for the time being.

Kyohiko looked at Aburame Shiwei.

"What's up?"

"Yes, Lord Orochimaru asked me to bring a piece of information."

Aburame Shiwei did not dare to underestimate the young man in front of her.

Although he is young, Jingyan already has the ability to communicate with them on an equal footing. In fact, in a few years, they may all look up to this young man.

He sighed inwardly.

Jingyan took it, opened it and took a quick look.

Sunagakure surrendered!
There are some conditions written on it, including "welcoming back the Third Kazekage" and "releasing Ye Cang".

Another piece of information is.

The Kingdom of Rivers has agreed to allow Konoha to pass through its territory.

Jingyan sneered, "The Sand Village is still not fully awake!"

"That's what Lord Orochimaru said."

Aburame nodded slightly.

Then he said, "Lord Orochimaru said that since you are in charge of this battle, you will be responsible for it to the end."

"can."

We can't push the Sand Village too far.

but.

The Sand Village is not in a surrendering attitude at all right now.

Jingyan felt that——

They need to be more aware.

"Senior, please call the elite team. We will set off tonight and head to the border between the Kingdom of River and the Kingdom of Wind."

"Are you going to use Magnetic Escape again?"

Aburame Shiwei said in surprise.

Jing Yan shook his head, "What kind of magnetic escape technique is needed to deal with Luo Sha? This technique can't be used all the time. He can fly, but his men can't."

"White Fang is dead, but now, Konoha has Minato and me!"
