Chapter 105 The First Sprouts

The fine raindrops pattered like needles on the coarse linen of the tent, creating a constant rustling sound.

Chiyu returned to her small tent alone. The ninja army was organized into groups of three, with the tents arranged in a triangular formation.

He pulled the tent flap shut behind him, shutting out the wind and rain. In the cramped space, only his breathing could be heard.

A moment later, Qianyu looked at the test tube in front of her that was glowing green, a glint of light flashing in her eyes, as if Granny Taohua's admonition was still ringing in her ears.

"Compared to using it as a trump card in times of crisis, I prefer to nip danger in the bud, especially since I've been quite annoyed with myself these past few days."

At this point, Chiyu thought of his clone, Sen no Chiyu, who had been urging him incessantly. He knew this was because of his own desire for the power of Wood Release.

When others absorb Hashirama's cells, they are forcibly eroded and assimilated by his domineering power, ultimately becoming nourishment for Wood Release.

But he is different. He possesses the power of his own bloodline, which allows him to directly confront the weakened Hashirama cells. He will use his own body as a battlefield to fight against them.

Inside the tent, the flickering lights cast Qianyu's shadow long and short.

Qianyu closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and then slowly exhaled a long breath, as if she wanted to expel all her worries and fears.

come on!

Without further hesitation, he reached out and pulled out the needle sheath, gently pressing the test tube containing intercolumnar cells onto his left chest, pressing down firmly with his thumb.

Instantly, an indescribable force exploded from his left chest and began to spread outwards, with a burning sensation spreading throughout his body.

"Well!"

A muffled groan escaped Qianyu's throat, her body involuntarily bending over, her previously steady breathing instantly becoming heavy and rapid.

That power wasn't a gentle influx of chakra, but rather like a flood bursting its banks, destroying everything in its path and rampaging into his meridians and cells.

If there were a mirror in front of him, Qianyu would see his face changing drastically at a speed visible to the naked eye.

First, all the color drained away, leaving a pale complexion as if from excessive blood loss, with pale green lines appearing under the skin like tree branches.

"That's impressive. Even after being weakened so much, it still has such strong offensive power. Ordinary people can only absorb it by luck."

""

Qianyu bit his lower lip hard, and strands of blood stained his white teeth. Combined with his wide-open eyes and the ferocious look of his bloodshot eyes, he sent chills down one's spine.

"Chiba Mori, please, don't embarrass me!"

Inside the chakra flame space, Sen no Chiba, dressed in red armor and sitting cross-legged, slowly opened her eyes, her eyes filled with excitement.

He slowly walked into the massive chakra flames, which instantly engulfed his figure. Then, the blue flames exploded and flew in all directions.

Within Chiyu's meridians and cells, the power of her own bloodline, aided by chakra, surged upstream like a great river, directly confronting the life-eroding green energy.

Two forces, though originating from the same source, were completely different. They collided violently in Qianyu's limbs, bones, meridians, internal organs, and even deeper within his cells.

This is not a gentle integration, but a brutal battle where the losers become nourishment for the victors.

The Hashirama cells were extremely domineering, frantically eroding, assimilating, and devouring Chiba's original cells and chakra, trying to turn everything into its vassal.

But Qianyu doesn't need to be assimilated. What he wants is to blunt its sharpness, strip away its power, and then let it be tainted into his own bloodline with his own power. Even if he can only summon saplings at the beginning, that is still Qianyu's own power.

Inside the tent, Qianyu's condition was becoming increasingly terrifying. Green, red, and blue stripes were meandering beneath his skin, flickering and appearing incredibly eerie.

Time slipped away little by little amidst the agonizing torment.

He didn't know how much time had passed, but the rain was still falling outside, and the light inside the tent was still flickering. The tearing pain in his body began to slowly subside.

The originally wildly colliding and unruly Hashirama cells gradually calmed down under the repeated wear and suppression of Mori no Chiba. Water without a source can only cause temporary harm.

Qianyu's tense body finally relaxed little by little. The strange skin color returned to normal, and her bloodshot eyes regained their luster, but the fatigue in her eyes became more and more severe.

He straightened his body and exhaled a long breath, a breath so rich it seemed to contain an overwhelming life force. He could feel that his body had undergone a tremendous transformation.

The most obvious change is in the amount of chakra. What was already considered a substantial amount of chakra has now increased several times over, surging and flowing endlessly within the body, which can barely be described as chakra tonification.

Secondly, there's the abundant life force within his body. Qianyu feels that his recovery speed after injury is now several times, maybe even ten times faster. In the future, he can outlast experts whose physical skills are comparable to his own.

Just then, a strange feeling welled up from the bottom of his heart. Qian Yu was slightly startled and pressed his right hand on the ground.

The next second, his pupils contracted slightly, and he saw a tender green sapling slowly breaking through the soil less than half a meter in front of his right hand.

The slender stems and tender green buds trembled gently, carrying a faint yet incredibly clear breath of life.

Wood Release!

Although everyone knows that the First Hokage's Wood Release is stronger than the power of all living beings, Chiba still couldn't hide his excitement at the sight of the First Hokage's Wood Release, which surpassed the power of all living beings.

This wisp of Wood Release power is very weak, not even comparable to Yamato's Four Rooms and One Hall Technique, but it is a Wood Release unique to Chiba himself.

"Hahahaha... Hahaha!"

Extremely suppressed laughter leaked from the gap between Qianyu's right hand and mouth, causing his body to tremble uncontrollably, as if he were having a seizure under the flickering lamplight.

After about ten minutes, Chiba managed to suppress her excitement, quickly calmed her chakra fluctuations, and then slowly closed her eyes to go find Mori no Chiba.

Within the chakra space, a towering pillar of fire stood in the center, with wisps of green interspersed among the blue flames as they moved up and down.

Beside the pillar of fire, Mori no Chiba, looking exhausted, was trying to remain calm. He crossed his arms over his chest and looked at his happy self, a smile appearing at the corner of his eye.

"We did it!"

"Yes, we succeeded."

Looking at the original body in front of her, Sen no Chiba nodded and said, "You need to know, original body, although we can obtain Wood Release because of this special characteristic, there are also corresponding side effects."

"First of all, our Wood Release has the potential to grow, so for now we can only do some small-scale landscaping."

"Secondly, my existence has become a bulwark protecting the bloodline. If I fall into slumber or leave your body, your Wood Release will also fall into silence. This is the greatest price to pay."

Looking at the exhausted Sen no Chiba before her, Chiba smiled and extended her right hand. "So what? We are one. You are me, and I am you!"

"Snapped!"

Two identical hands clasped tightly together. "Of course, you are me, and I am you!"
