I, who just wanted to be lazy, was forced to become the Hokage.

Chapter 299 Restoring the Glory of the Thousand Hands is Our Duty!

"Could this be... the data on how to synthesize Wood Release chakra?"

Tsunade gripped the scroll of the Wood Release Chakra Creation Technique tightly, as if she were grasping the very foundation of the Senju clan.

"Nara, how did you get here so fast?!"

Although Nara Rinkei has already researched various methods for creating chakra for various kekkei genkai.

However, in Tsunade's mind, she felt that it would take Nara Rinka at least ten years to successfully research Wood Release.

After all, Wood Release is the exclusive power of the legendary God of Shinobi, and there is no other example in the entire ninja world. The legend of "the First Hokage suppressing the ninja world with the power of Wood Release" has always circulated in Konoha.

However, to Tsunade's utter surprise, before the Third Shinobi World War was even completely over, Nara Rinkei had already created the Wood Release Chakra Creation Method!

They were fighting a war while simultaneously conducting research and development.

One hand holds a tailed beast, the other holds Wood Release.

You've really got some serious talent, Nara!

A strange light shone in Tsunade's beautiful eyes, clearly indicating that she was extremely satisfied with Nara Rangsuke's "surprise gift".

"Hey, what does 'I'm so fast' mean? Have you ever experienced it?"

Nara Rinka was very dissatisfied with the big fat sheep's slander, but he also knew that now was not the best time to talk about such things.

"Let's get down to business, Tsunade."

"Are you planning to learn the Wood Release Chakra Creation Method on your own, or would you like to use my shortcut?"

"A quick, fast-track method?"

Tsunade was dumbfounded again.

She originally thought it was already outrageous enough that Nara Rinka could come up with [Wood Release] so quickly, but she didn't expect that the other party had something even more outrageous in his hands.

"That's Wood Release! Grandpa's Wood Release! Can this kind of bloodline limit be mastered so quickly?"

"Don't take Wood Release too seriously, Tsunade."

Nara Ranka shrugged and said calmly.

"Everyone has a bloodline limit, and the Wood Release, which is a fusion of Water Release and Earth Release, is no more advanced than other ninjutsu."

"The reason why Wood Release is so famous is because my great-grandfather possessed Wood Release. If my great-grandfather's bloodline limit were of another type, he could still suppress the ninja world through other bloodline limits."

Hashirama Senju is Tsunade's great-grandfather, and naturally, he is also the great-grandfather of Nara Rinka. His change of address was quite smooth.

Tsunade glared at Nara Ranka, but she couldn't bring herself to pursue the latter for his verbal advantage; he had simply stated the facts.

"Nara, I have a feeling that you have more faith in Grandpa's strength than I do."

"It's only human nature."

Nara spread his hands as he held the laurel tree.

"Although I've captured three tailed beasts in total, I know that my strength level is still far behind that of my great-grandfather!"

Do people say that?

Tsunade rolled her eyes wide.

She really couldn't understand why Nara Rinkei revered her great-grandfather's strength so much.

Is that old man really that strong?

I always felt that old man Sarutobi was stronger than my great-grandfather...

Tsunade shook her head, banishing these irrelevant thoughts from her mind, and raised the [Wood Release Chakra Creation Method] in her hand.

"Nara, how do you quickly master that 'crash course' you mentioned before?"

As a descendant of the Senju clan, although she did not bear the Senju surname, Tsunade still longed for Wood Release.

It's not that she can't seriously learn the Wood Release Chakra Creation Method.

But since Nara Rankei has a faster way to master it, why not ask him for help?

Anyway, the two of them are now completely bound together...

"It's simple. I'll use your body to use [Wood Release]."

Nara Rinka said this frankly.

"Once your body remembers the release process of [Wood Release], the rest will be very simple."

Tsunade frowned slightly; she didn't quite understand the meaning behind Nara's words.

Quickly racking her brains, Tsunade reviewed all the secret techniques and abilities, big and small, within Konoha Village.

"You mean... the spiritual secrets of the mountain clan?"

Tsunade quickly found a corresponding example.

"I remember that the Yamanaka clan's secret techniques, at their advanced stages, allow one's consciousness to enter the target's body and even gain access to their chakra."

For ninjas of the Sannin caliber, there is virtually no information within Konoha that can be kept from them.

"It is indeed the same type of ninjutsu."

Nara Rinka raised her index finger, and a thin [shadow thread] condensed at the tip of her finger.

"Want to try it out and see how it goes?"

Tsunade took a deep breath, opened her arms, and raised her delicate chin.

"bring it on!"

Shadow Manipulation Technique!

Nara Rinkazu's shadow threads shot out from his fingertips and connected to Tsunade's delicate body. His Yin Release chakra was ready to be unleashed and surge into Tsunade's body.

"Tsunade-neechan, there are some things I need to tell you before using the secret technique."

Nara Rinka plays with the Shadow Thread in her hand.

"Based on my current research, the current Wood Release is not yet a perfect Wood Release."

"Um?"

Tsunade opened her eyes and looked at Nara Ranka with great confusion.

"What do you mean by 'not perfect'? The fusion of Earth Release and Water Release isn't stable?"

"No, it's not Earth Release or Water Release."

Nara Ranka shook his head.

"Based on my speculation, the Wood Release that my great-grandfather mastered before his death was not a simple bloodline limit, but a bloodline elimination technique that transcends bloodline limits."

"Simply put, Wood Release should be a fusion of Earth Release, Water Release and Yang Release."

"The Wood Release technique I've developed so far is simply a bloodline limit formed by the fusion of water and earth."

"...Nara, do you have some misunderstanding about the power of bloodline limits?"

Tsunade remained silent for a moment, then looked at Nara Rinka with a rather complicated expression.

"Regardless of the type of bloodline limit, its power and effect are definitely stronger than a single type of Five Elements Escape Technique."

"For an ordinary ninja like me, it makes no difference whether [Wood Release] is a bloodline limit or a bloodline elimination technique."

"And bloodline elimination... you really dare to think that way!"

"Most of what you said is correct, but..."

Nara Rinka returned Tsunade's gaze with a rather complex expression.

"You? An ordinary ninja?"

"Why am I not an ordinary ninja anymore?"

Tsunade said matter-of-factly.

"The Senju clan does not have any special bloodline limits."

So, since the power characteristics of the "Immortal Body" are not obvious, we should just assume it doesn't exist?

Nara Rinka wanted to complain, but didn't know where to begin.

The Senju and Uzumaki clans are two seemingly "ordinary" ninja clans, but their unique abilities are more outrageous and exaggerated than the other.

This ninja world, where bloodline theory runs rampant, is really enough!

"Okay, since you don't care about this issue, then it's fine."

Nara Rinka revealed part of the research plan to Tsunade.

"Once I successfully research and develop the bloodline limit version of Wood Release, I'll help you 'upgrade' it."

Tsunade smiled and shook her head, not knowing what to say about Nara Lan Gui.

The bloodline elimination formed by the fusion of three property changes is obviously more complex and difficult to understand than the bloodline limit.

However, considering that Nara Rinka developed the Wood Release technique at an astonishing speed.

Tsunade didn't think that what the other party was saying was all nonsense.

"I'm waiting for that day."

Tsunade smiled and accepted Nara Ranka's Yin Release chakra.

Nara Rinka's spirit penetrated Tsunade's body and took over control of her chakra.

"Tsunade-neechan, your chakra is really huge—cough, anyway, it's huge."

"Don't think I don't know what lewd thoughts are going through your head, Nara."

Tsunade's consciousness appeared to the side, deliberately pursing her lips, but the way she crossed her arms revealed that her mood was not as generous and casual as she appeared.

Thanks to Nara Rinka's deliberate manipulation, Tsunade's consciousness was not forcibly sealed like the previous victims of the Shadow Manipulation Technique, but she retained the ability to communicate with others.

"What bad intentions could I possibly have if I just wanted to touch it?"

As Nara Rinkaku spoke, he brought Tsunade's body to the testing room of the underground research institute.

During his journey, he split Tsunade's chakra in two, one transforming into Earth Release and the other into Water Release. Finally, he merged the two chakras into one, forming a completely new nature transformation—Wood.

"To unleash [Wood Release], the first step is to simultaneously utilize the dual nature transformations of water and earth. The second step is to maintain the water and earth chakra in a very precise ratio, and that's it now—"

[Wood Release: Four Pillars Family Technique]!

Nara Rinka controlled Tsunade's body, his hands rapidly forming hand seals and pressing them onto the ground, releasing Wood Release chakra downwards to the earth.

With a slight rumbling sound, a simple wooden house appeared in the testing room.

"How is it?"

Nara cut off the output of chakra and asked Tsunade for advice.

"I think..."

Tsunade's consciousness touched her chin.

"Has my brain already learned it?"

"This argument is completely unconvincing."

Nara Rinka made a comment.

"The [Four Pillars Clan Technique] we just used was a B-rank ninjutsu. Now let's switch to a simpler C-rank ninjutsu, [Wood Transformation]."

"The principle of this [Wood Transformation] is the same as that of the basic E-rank [Transformation Technique], except that the ability to maintain it is transformed from ordinary chakra into [Wood Release] chakra."

"It was classified as a C-level difficulty because it involves content involving changes in nature."

"Uh-huh!"

Tsunade nodded repeatedly, like a chick pecking at rice, and continued to receive Nara-sensei's careful instruction.

"I didn't expect you to be able to research Wood Release so quickly. I'll specifically look for some Wood Release ninjutsu to learn later."

"It's not just about Wood Release; you also need to learn some Sealing Techniques."

Nara Rinka reminded him.

"Without taking into account the inclusion of Yang Release."

"If it only involves changes in form, there's not much need to learn those Wood Release ninjutsu."

"The truly powerful ninjutsu, such as the [Ranking Technique], [Kouan Enters the Gate], and [Myojin Gate], are all fusion ninjutsu of [Wood Release] and [Sealing Technique], and their power far exceeds that of ordinary [Wood Release].

"Wait, if I remember correctly, these ninjutsu..."

Tsunade blinked, looking at Nara Rinka with some surprise.

"It seems like they're all S-rank ninjutsu?"

Tsunade hadn't actually learned Hashirama Senju's Wood Release ninjutsu, but she had reviewed some of their general information when she was collecting and organizing the materials.

Leaving aside the ordinary B-rank and C-rank ninjutsu, Tsunade remembers the incredibly powerful S-rank forbidden techniques perfectly well.

"Yes, they are indeed all S-rank ninjutsu."

Nara Rinka nodded and then controlled Tsunade's body to unleash an A-rank ninjutsu.

"However, this [Silent Kill Binding Technique] also incorporates the power of sealing techniques, making it relatively easy, only A-rank."

A sturdy wooden strip was released from Tsunade's palm, wrapping around the wooden house that had just risen from the ground and completely crushing its structure.

"Do you want to listen to what you're saying?"

Tsunade silently "watched" the attack effect of this [Silent Kill Binding Technique], feeling somewhat numb.

"Only A-rank? You think A-rank ninjutsu is easy to learn?"

"I think it's pretty simple."

During a break in their conversation, Nara Ranka slowly unleashed a low-level ninjutsu.

Tsunade's chakra reserves far exceed those of White Zetsu, but they are not enough for her to squander at will.

Lower-level ninjutsu generally consumes less chakra than higher-level ninjutsu, allowing it to be used repeatedly, which makes it easier for Tsunade to experience and understand the nature transformation techniques of Wood Release.

"Oh, right, there's one more thing."

Nara Rinkazu seemed oblivious to Tsunade's deeply affected expression and continued giving instructions.

"Tsunade-nee, if you have any connections, you could learn some Sage Mode."

"I'm not talking about low-level immortal techniques like the [Immortal Clan Guiding Technique] or the [Immortal Clan Breathing Technique], but true immortal techniques, like Jiraiya's [Sage Mode]."

"Jiraiya's Sage Mode?"

Tsunade forced herself to cheer up.

"Where did you get this information from?"

"I fought Jiraiya, um, Jiraiya in his Sage Mode, the kind with two little toad Sages standing on his shoulders."

Nara Rinka's tone was calm and composed.

"During that battle, the power of many of Jiraiya's ninjutsu was amplified dramatically."

"Wood Release and Sage Mode, they really go well together."

Immortal arts...

As Tsunade watched Nara Rinka continuously unleash Wood Release ninjutsu, two special terms suddenly flashed through her mind.

Shikulin Forest.

Live slug.
