Naruto starts from the Otsutsuki bloodline

Chapter 154 God - Wood Release? (Third update, please subscribe)
Hiruzen Sarutobi was annoyed; he didn't know whether it was Gen Kitagawa who had been corrupted by Kakashi.

"Or was Kakashi influenced by Genji?"

Is it really appropriate to say that a C-level mission is very simple?

Although Kitagawa Gen also went through the same thing back then, Kakashi had only just left the Anbu, so it was normal for him to retain Anbu habits.

"But you've been out for so long, why are you still like this?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi was somewhat distressed, but in the end he still handed in a simple C-rank mission.

Kitagawa Gen hasn't left the team yet, and it seems like there shouldn't be any major problems with the two Jonin.

"Old man, you were looking for me?"

Just as Hiruzen Sarutobi was feeling down, Jiraiya's voice suddenly came from outside the window.

"Honestly, I'm busy right now."

"We have news from Tsinghua University."

Hiruzen Sarutobi rubbed his temples, but before he could speak, Jiraiya interrupted him.

"Mizuki? Oh, that's the one that's been circulating on the street. Seriously, no wonder Gen became like this. It turns out there's really something wrong with Konoha's education system. Don't blame me!"

"."

Hiruzen Sarutobi gripped his pipe tightly, wondering if there was something wrong with him too.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have produced a pervert like Jiraiya, a gambling addict like Tsunade, and Orochimaru.
"Now is not the time to talk about this!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi was startled. He immediately shook his head, realizing there must be something else wrong, and he had something important to do.

"Yuan has already found out quite a bit; Mizuki is related to Orochimaru."

"Orochimaru?"

Upon hearing this name, Jiraiya immediately became serious.

"Did he say anything? What is his goal? Could it be the Chunin Exams?"

"It's uncertain, and Mizuki is only a Chunin, so he wouldn't know much."

Hiruzen Sarutobi shook his head, and spoke with utmost seriousness, his pipe dangling from his lips.

"However, this matter must be taken into account, especially since Orochimaru has the Akatsuki organization behind him; it's hard to say what will happen."

"I see."

Jiraiya nodded solemnly. The Akatsuki's actions were utterly unbridled!

"It seems we really need to be extra careful this time, but I never expected it to be so complicated."

Jiraiya was also somewhat troubled; it was truly outrageous that a joint Chunin Exam had turned out like this.

But there was nothing he could do now that things had come to this; all he could do was make all the necessary preparations.

"I'll be going now. Contact me if anything comes up. Seriously, Orochimaru, that bastard."

"Don't rush, there are still some things to do."

Just as Jiraiya was about to leave, Hiruzen Sarutobi immediately called him back.

"What's wrong, old man? Do you want to invite me to look at the crystal ball?"

Jiraiya raised an eyebrow, then asked with a mischievous grin, which almost made Hiruzen Sarutobi hit him on the head with his pipe.

"Seriously, how's Tsunade's research going?"

Why don't you ask him yourself?

Jiraiya pursed his lips, and he quickly realized something.

"Wait a minute, could it be that Danzo really..."

"Alas, according to the investigation, he did not completely stop."

Hiruzen Sarutobi sighed deeply. Ever since he obtained Obito Uchiha's piece of flesh, he had launched a secret investigation into Danzo.

This investigation did indeed uncover many problems, especially regarding the First Hokage's cells, which left him speechless.

"However, he can't be moved yet. Orochimaru's operation might be related to him, so I need to observe further."

"I understand. I'll go ask Tsunade about it."

Jiraiya was a teacher who could understand him, and in the end, he nodded in agreement, which relieved Hiruzen Sarutobi.

"Then I'll leave it to you. Besides that, there's something else I'd like to trouble you with."

"Why don't you just say it all at once?"

Jiraiya pursed his lips, while Hiruzen Sarutobi's expression turned serious.

"This matter concerns Naruto, and may even involve Minato and Kushina."

"what?!"

Jiraiya's expression changed, his face filled with anxiety.

"What happened, old man? Tell me quickly!"

“Last night, the Nine-Tails' chakra erupted within Naruto, and Gen was right there,” he said.

Hiruzen Sarutobi had a pipe in his mouth, and the smoke seemed to obscure his face, with only his voice echoing.

"There are two more streams of chakra sealed within the Nine-Tails, and these two streams of chakra are very likely those of Minato and Kushina."

"Yay! We're finally out!"

On the way to the Land of Waves, Naruto was beaming with excitement, and although Sasuke didn't say anything, it was clear that he was in a very good mood.

Sakura was the only one who seemed a little embarrassed. She glanced at her employer, who hadn't said much—a drunken old man named Tazuna—and Kakashi and Kitagawa Gen, who were walking at the back.

After hesitating for a while, she finally couldn't help but ask.

"Kakashi-sensei, Gen-senpai, are you really alright? Our first mission is to leave the village?"

"So, you Konoha were just trying to scam me out of my money? These brats are the first mission?!"

Tazuna couldn't hold back any longer; he had just arrived in Konoha and submitted his mission application.

Although he admitted that he had some ulterior motives, he did not expect Konoha to act so quickly and take care of him directly!

But what exactly is this arrangement all about?!
"Relax, relax, it's just a C-level mission."

Kakashi spoke nonchalantly, glancing at Sakura before finally looking at Tazuna. "Two years ago, when I first led a team, Gen's first mission was a C-rank, and he did several in a row. Now, with so many people, a C-rank mission is nothing."

"That's right, it's just a C-level."

Kitagawa Gen also spoke up with a smile, patting Naruto and Sasuke on the shoulder and laughing nonchalantly.

"Although one of these kids is unhappy and the other is a bit clueless, and their upbringing is somewhat problematic, they are definitely capable, so don't worry."

"You bastard, what are you saying!"

Naruto couldn't hold back any longer, and Sasuke rolled his eyes as well.

"You guy."

Is there a problem with education?

Tazuna was not relieved at all; on the contrary, he became even more worried. What terrified him even more was that Kakashi actually nodded in agreement!
No, what about Konoha's reputation?
"Time really flies, so much time has passed in the blink of an eye."

Kakashi and Kitagawa Gen ignored Tazuna and Naruto, and the two of them lagged behind and started chatting.

Kakashi's eyes curved into crescents as he looked outwards. Although he had many worries, he seemed to be in a good mood at least for now.

"I still remember your first mission. Your performance was also mediocre. You couldn't even stand the sight of blood."

"It's the first time, so it's inevitable."

"But you got better and better later on, and you even performed well against Juzo Biwa and Itachi Uchiha."

"That is."

Kitagawa Gen smiled and nodded, but Sasuke's ears perked up.

Uchiha Itachi?

He knew that Kitagawa Gen had met Uchiha Itachi, but he didn't know the specifics. Now that the two of them were talking about it, how could he not be curious?

Not only him, but Naruto, Sakura, and even Tazuna couldn't help but peek out to listen.

"But history really does come full circle. Back then, our first mission was to head towards the Land of Waves, and we never expected it to be the same again this time."

Kitagawa Gen didn't care about these guys eavesdropping, and he said with amusement.

"By the way, Kakashi-sensei, isn't Tazuna a victim of Gato? Could we perhaps..."

"Hey, hey, hey, it's been so many years, you still haven't forgotten him?"

Kakashi's smile vanished instantly, and his crescent-shaped eyes turned into dead fish eyes.

"Also, you agreed to come on this mission because you knew we were coming to the Land of Waves, right?"

"How could that be? Am I that kind of person? But he's really rich. Robbing him would not only make Konoha better, but also help to eliminate evil and uphold justice!"

"."

"Besides, this time there's a mission involved, so Kakashi-sensei has no reason to object, right?"

"."

Kakashi didn't want to talk anymore; he realized that his disciple had truly never forgotten his original aspirations.

Is it really okay to keep an eye on Kado after all these years?

Kakashi rubbed his head and sighed.

"Let's talk about it later. As long as he doesn't go too far, you can't do anything reckless!"

"Yes Yes Yes."

Kitagawa Gen nodded. It was good to have this promise. Anyway, he believed that Kado would definitely do something reckless!
Even if he doesn't do anything reckless, I'll find a way to make him do something reckless.

After years of hard work, he has accumulated some savings, but that doesn't mean he'll let go of Cardo's money!

"Besides, that kid Naruto has brought me quite a few rewards."

He also had his eye on the Book of Sealing, even though he had already learned quite a bit about it.

But the full version only contains more information, and he couldn't help but be curious!

Last night, he also looked at the Scroll of Seals that Naruto brought out, but this was a 'special edition'.
To his surprise, the system delivered the complete version to him in the blink of an eye!

"There are quite a few interesting things inside."

This complete version not only gave him the 'Soul Imprisonment Technique' and 'Mutual Multiplication Explosive Talisman', but also the 'Four Red Yang Formation' and 'Four Symbols Seal'.

"And the initial version of 'Dead Demon Seal'!"

Combined with his existing 'Darkness Travel Technique' and the 'Spiritualization Technique' he later obtained from Hiruzen Sarutobi, he is now almost on par with the Second Hokage!
"Besides that, there's a lot of information and records about Wood Release techniques."

He didn't spend time learning about Wood Release; aside from Earth Release and Water Release, he already had targets for those two chakras.

The most crucial point is that he cannot determine whether Wood Release is considered a 'bloodline limit' or a 'bloodline genkai'.

"After all, compared to Yamato, his Wood Release is like handling household items, while Hashirama Senju's Wood Release is truly world-destroying!"

It's hard to say whether Hashirama Senju's Wood Release involved Yang Release, but there's no need for him to investigate it now.

"After all, the 'Source of the Divine Tree' seems to have directly solved these problems for me."

After absorbing the burst of chakra from Naruto, the source of the Divine Tree was greatly replenished.

Although no new tailed beast chakra was added to enhance it, it gained some new abilities!
The Divine Tree Clone is almost identical to the Wood Clone, but it's a fully enhanced version!

Madara Uchiha could use Susanoo with his Wood Clone, but this clone could use most of Gen Kitagawa's abilities except for 'Otsutsuki Transformation'.

"In terms of strength, he's probably around level 50 or 60, which looks pretty good."

In addition, he also gained an ability similar to Obito Uchiha's 'Hand-Cutting Technique'.

The power of the divine tree source also passed through his body, directly causing massive damage!
"Isn't this thing much simpler and more effective than Wood Release?"

Kitagawa Gen rubbed his head. Even though his use of the 'Source of the Divine Tree' was still not very good, he seemed to have some kind of Wood Release technique.

"Or perhaps it should be called God Wood Release?"

As he pondered, he suddenly heard a noise and saw two dark figures emerge from the shadows of the forest in an instant.

They charged at Kakashi, chains in hand!
