Chapter 5: Wood Release Secret Technique!

Chapter 5: Wood Release Secret Technique! (Seeking follow-up recommendation votes and monthly tickets)

Suppressing the joy in his heart, Danzo walked to Xingxia Xiu's side, then formed seals with his hands and opened his mouth to inhale and exhale.

shhhhhh!
Air bullets shot out from Danzo's mouth.

Wind Escape-Vacuum Jade!
clap clap clap!
Wood chips were scattered on the wall of the wooden ingot, and holes were made in the wood by the air bullets, but they did not penetrate it completely.

But then Xingxia Xiu saw Danzo continue to make hand seals, took a long breath, and then exhaled a strong stream of air again.

The air currents gathered in front of Tuan Zang, and in the blink of an eye, a huge air mass with a diameter of more than one meter was formed.

Xingxiaxiu's eyelids twitched.

This is an enhanced version of the vacuum jade, the vacuum big jade!

Moreover, after being launched, the air mass expands again.

boom!
The wooden wall, which was more than three meters high and four meters wide, exploded, and wood chips flew everywhere with the strong wind.

Xingxia Xiu raised his hands to cover his face: "So strong, worthy of being the Pot Shadow!"

Danzo is now in his prime, his physical strength and experience are at their peak, and this is the time when his combat effectiveness is the strongest.

This wind-style ability can definitely be ranked among the top five in the entire ninja world.

The only people that Hoshita Hide could think of who possessed the same powerful wind-style ability were Sarutobi Hiruzen, the Third Kazekage, and Kakuzu.

The strong wind dissipated, and Danzo was calm and composed: "Although it is not as good as the first generation's Wood Release, it is already very good."

Although Wood Release is powerful, it is still within his control.

Looking at the respectful Xingxia Xiu, Danzo took out a scroll and said: "This is the secret technique of Wood Release left by the First Daemon. You must practice it well."

"Yes, Lord Danzo!"

Xingxia Xiu took the scroll with joy, excitement and respect.

Danzo suddenly asked, "Am I really more suitable for the position of Hokage than Hiruzen?"

Cold sweat instantly broke out on Xing Xiaxiu's back.

It's over!

Is it because you saw that he could master Wood Release that your ambition suddenly swelled and you couldn't help yourself?

The problem is... he can't lie now, but he can't not answer either.

With his mind racing, Xingxia Xiu took a deep breath and said, "For me, of course, you, Danzo-sama, are the most suitable person to become Hokage."

This is the truth!

The butt determines the head.

If Hoshita Hide was not a Root ninja and did not follow Danzo.

This is a lie.

You know, the current Sarutobi Hiruzen is not the indecisive person that Hoshita Hide remembers.

He was given the task at a critical moment and became the third Hokage at a young age. He subdued many ninja clans in Konoha, especially the Uchiha and Hyuga clans, with powerful methods.

In terms of strength, means, and prestige, Danzo is not as good as Sarutobi Hiruzen.

Danzo's expression didn't change at all in response to this answer.

Xingxia Xiu continued: "If the Sandaime dies, Danzo-sama, you are one of the most qualified candidates to become the Fourth Hokage."

Danzo raised an eyebrow slightly: "Oh?"

"Who are the others?"

Xingxia Xiu said: "Tsunade, Jiraiya, Orochimaru!"

Danzo was surprised.

He originally thought that Xingxia Xiu would say Mitomon En, or even Akimichi Tofu.

At the very least, there is Hatake Sakumo, who is already known as the White Fang of Konoha.

I didn’t expect that they were three juniors.

but……

Danzo said, "Tsunade can indeed threaten me, but Orochimaru and Jiraiya, although they are also very talented, their prestige is insufficient." Hoshita Hide said, "That is indeed the case now, but in ten years... their prestige will reach its peak."

"We need at least ten years to accumulate strength so that the Root's power can be on par with the Anbu, and so that your prestige, Danzo-sama, will be unparalleled. Mitomon En and Akimichi Tofu are simply not qualified to compete with you, Danzo-sama."

"But the Sandaime will not hand over the position to you like the First Hokage did to the Second Hokage. Instead, he will definitely choose one of his disciples."

"This is one of Tsunade and the others' strengths."

"Secondly, ten years later, their strength will reach its peak, and their age will also..."

Xingxia Xiu glanced at Danzo cautiously, and said through gritted teeth, "Forgive my bluntness, but in ten years, your age will become a disadvantage, Danzo-sama."

Danzo is in his prime now, but in ten years, he will be in his fifties and on the decline.

Judging from the current situation, Xingxiaxiu did not lie at all.

Danzo was not angry, but was thinking about what Xingxia Xiu said.

Judging from the test just now, Xingxia Xiu’s Wood Release is far inferior to the first generation.

Becoming an elite jonin is not a problem at all, but it is probably impossible to deal with the current Sarutobi Hiruzen.

Even he is confident that he can suppress Hoshita Hide, let alone Sarutobi Hiruzen.

It should be possible in ten years.

And ten years later, he indeed had to face three grown-up juniors.

But ten years later, without Hiruzen, could Danzo still not control his three juniors?
Danzo had enough confidence in this, but he wanted to test Xingxia Xiu in his heart, so he asked: "What do you think we should do?"

Xingxia Xiu secretly cheered up and began to devote himself to it, turning into a strategist: "Master Danzo, I believe that we must be prepared at all times and gain absolute advantages in all aspects to ensure that nothing will go wrong."

"So, while strengthening the roots, I believe we also need to constantly create a good external environment, so that we have as many people and allies as possible and as few competitors as possible."

"For example, you need to bring three advisors, Mitomonen, Utane Koharu, and Akimichi Torifu, into the same camp."

"There is also Konoha White Fang. You can also fight for Lord Danzo, but at least you can't let him become a stumbling block on your path to the position of Hokage."

"As for Tsunade, Jiraiya, and Orochimaru, who pose the greatest threat to you in the future, you can also try to divide and win them over."

"If one day, after losing the Sandaime, you, Danzo-sama, have no rivals left, then no one can stop you from becoming Hokage!"

Danzo nodded in satisfaction: "Very good!"

At this moment, he discovered that the most important thing to him, Xingxia Xiu, was probably not Wood Release, but his brain.

"It's not difficult to win over Yan and Xiaochun. Qufeng is from the Qiu Dao clan, so he can't be won over."

Danzo analyzed, "White Fang is impossible to win over. He upholds the Bushido spirit and possesses a strong will of fire. He will not serve me until I become Hokage."

"As for Tsunade and the others... they can't interfere at the moment."

Xing Xiaxiu did have some ideas in his mind, but he knew when to stop. Some things could not be said all at once, otherwise the value would be squeezed too quickly and would lose its effect.

So he immediately flattered him: "Danzo-sama is right."

This is also the truth. Danzo's analysis is indeed correct.

As for Minato Namikaze, he is still in school. If he wants to show his talent, he has to wait until graduation at least.

So Xingxiaxiu did not regard him as an influencing factor.

……

After watching Danzo leave, Xingxia Xiu secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and then a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Through the conversation just now, he was sure of one thing.

Being consistent in what you say and what you mean does not mean that you have to say everything that is in your heart.

You can't lie, but you can keep things to yourself.

This is not so dangerous.

He retracted his gaze and looked at the scroll in his hand.
