Chapter 176 Wood Release: Master Architect (Second Update)

"There's no problem with the publicity. After the news of the Ability User Conference was released, the public was very much looking forward to it."

We didn't do much advertising, yet it has already spread to countries all over the world.

Everyone is eagerly anticipating the first Ability User Tournament in six months and hopes to be able to attend the competition in person.

The problem now is that you previously proposed in your plan that, considering the safety of combat between ability users, it would be inconvenient to do so in the city, so you wanted to buy an isolated island near New York and hold this World's Number One Ability User Tournament on that island.

However, after our professional investigation, the islands that meet your requirements are all quite expensive.

Furthermore, with the conference being held, the entire island will need to be renovated in advance, which will require a significant amount of funding…

Listening to Susan calculate the expenses, Hawking understood what she was trying to say.

It's actually quite simple: if the World's Number One Ability User Conference were to be held entirely according to Hawking's requirements, the company wouldn't have enough money.

Thanks to the GG effect of superheroes and various products derived from their copyrights, the company has indeed made a lot of money.

However, not all of this money went into the company's account; it also had to be used to pay salaries to the superheroes and employees.

With Hawking acquiring companies, investing in games, and supporting Mariko's side, and now also agreeing to invest in Reed's experiments, the company's finances were already in dire straits.

If you buy a qualified island and then develop it, it will take a lot of time and you really don't have enough money.

"So what you mean is?"

"What I mean is, could we postpone the date of the World's Greatest Powerhouse Tournament?"

Based on the company's current revenue situation, it will take at least two to three years to reach the scale you want; six months is too short.

Or we could scale it down; our first Ability User Conference could be held on land first.

Susan tentatively suggested.

She doesn't deny that the investments Hawking is making now will generate a lot of money in the future, but League of Legends International is still too young and lacks sufficient foundation.

Even with the support of the Xavier family, it was still too much of a strain.

Even if the funding is in place, the construction of the island will take time, and it's not just a one-day event. The food and accommodation for the participants and audience will be a problem.

"There's no need to postpone the event; the publicity has already been done. There's no need to change the plan; just continue with the original publicity."

"Don't worry about the island; I'll handle it."

Hawking thought for a moment and replied with a smile.

What was a difficult problem for Susan was no problem for him now.

Buy an island? Buy my ass! There are plenty of deserted islands in the oceans of the world. He'll just have his shadow clone find one.

As for the distance being too far, it would be difficult for participants and spectators to reach the destination.

He can make door keys, right?

Losing a key in every city on Earth and having contestants and spectators use it to reach the island is no more convenient than taking a boat or plane.

The issue of building on isolated islands is also easily resolved.

It just so happens that he was interested in Wood Release a while ago, so he'll find some time to study it. If he has Wood Release, then he'll be a master architect.

Some Konoha scrolls mention that the First Hokage's Wood Release was essentially a bloodline limit combining Water and Earth Release.

But he felt it was more than just the result of the fusion of two attributes.

Otherwise, apart from the First Hokage, the Wood Release techniques developed by others afterward would not have been as effective as the First Hokage's Wood Release.

The fusion of water and earth attributes could indeed create a wood-style release.

However, to create a Wood Release technique as powerful as the First Hokage's, it should also incorporate the Sage Body, the reincarnation of Ashura, which means it possesses some of the attributes of the Divine Tree.

Fortunately, he inherited Naruto's physique, which means he possessed Ashura's Sage Body, and he also had the Rinnegan, allowing him to use all attributes, including water and earth attributes.

Logically speaking, the basic conditions for learning Wood Release have already been met.

With some time and further study, one should be able to use Wood Release as powerfully as the First Hokage.

He actually thought that Naruto, as the reincarnation of Ashura, also had a chance to learn Wood Release.

However, Naruto did not master the water and earth styles in the early stages; he only mastered the wind style, and he focused all his energy on the Nine-Tails and making the Rasengan.

Of course, as it turns out, the path Naruto took wasn't bad either.

"Is it for you?"

Susan was immediately filled with questions.

Hawking nodded:

"Yes, just have someone make a general design plan for me."

After giving a few instructions and ignoring Susan's questions, he flew back to his school dormitory.

"Loading Naruto template!"

In a flash, he had arrived at Mount Myōboku.

Since learning the Flying Thunder God Technique, he no longer needed to make appointments with Naruto, as he could use the Flying Thunder God Technique to teleport from Mount Myōboku to Konoha at any time.

Previously, he would usually schedule Naruto to summon him at 2 PM, but now he can appear whenever he wants.

These past few days, because he went to Tokyo to rescue Logan and get the Adamantium alloy filtrate, he hasn't been coming as frequently as before.

The main reason is that the ninja world has been relatively peaceful recently.

Because the Five Kage formed a joint elite squad to target the Akatsuki organization, the Akatsuki organization suddenly disappeared.

It is said that the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki, who was captured by Sasuke's Hawk Team, has also been found.

Konoha didn't need his help in any way, so he naturally didn't have the opportunity to exchange for ninjutsu, and he had already learned most of the sealing techniques.

Moreover, he has too many things to study lately, and he really doesn't have the energy to learn new ninjutsu.

Apparition, mind control, and new modes of fusion of different energies and chakra, etc.

I came here because of the Ability User Conference. I plan to set aside some time to study Wood Release and see if I can get some Wood Release-related information from Tsunade for reference.

After the First Hokage's death, Konoha had been trying to create a Wood Release ninja as powerful as the First Hokage, and had done a lot of research on Wood Release.

Even after it was explicitly prohibited, Orochimaru and Danzo secretly continued to conduct human experiments, creating Yamato.

Of course, since it involves Wood Release, it's definitely not something you can easily borrow.

However, everything has value, and as long as the stakes are high enough, he believes Tsunade will present him with the information on Wood Release with open arms.

He happens to have a lot of leverage at his disposal: Obito, Madara, Black Zetsu, Otsutsuki, the God Tree, and the Ten-Tails. Any one of these secrets should be enough to exchange for information on Wood Release.

Anyway, because of his influence, the development of the entire ninja world has already deviated from its original direction, so it doesn't matter if it deviates a little more.

"Hawking, something's happened in Konoha!"

Having just been responsibly transported to Mount Myōboku, Hawking saw Gamakichi with bandages wrapped around his body.
