Konoha: This Uchiha is going a bit too far.

Chapter 117 Sage Techniques Combined with Wood Release, That Should Be Exciting, Right? (10,000-Word Chapter)

"Dad, we're almost at the border of the Land of Fire. If this continues, Konoha might react."

Within Takigawa Province, Hikari followed behind Onoki, looking at the map, and finally couldn't help but whisper something.

However, his words earned him a glare from Onoki. He had told this rebellious son countless times to use his job title during work hours.

However, this rebellious son always went against his ideas, which made Onoki increasingly unhappy.

However, Onoki is too lazy to dwell on this matter now, because they are indeed getting closer and closer to the border of the Land of Fire.

He still remembered the terrible lesson he learned from the last time he ambushed Hiruzen Sarutobi, especially those two Uchiha brats, who left a deep impression on him!

"Those man and woman both bear the shadow of Uchiha Madara; they are bound to be a future scourge to the ninja world."

Onoki thought with a grim face, but he wasn't worried about those two brats right now; in fact, he would have preferred to run into them if he could.

After all, he doesn't have many constraints now, even if one of those two brats can use the Flying Thunder God Technique.

But if we can take one down, it will definitely rid the ninja world of a menace!

The ninja world cannot have another Madara Uchiha.

"However, the other one is also troublesome."

The thought of Flying Thunder God Technique gave Onoki another headache; the strategic deterrent capability of this kind of technique was truly a headache.

That kind of attack method, which is elusive, constantly harasses the enemy, and can even attempt to ambush and eliminate important targets, is truly impossible to defend against.

"That evil old devil, the Thousand-Armed Demon! As expected, there isn't a single good person in Konoha!"

Onoki cursed inwardly. Tobirama Senju's death was difficult to replicate, but if it really needed to be done, it could be learned from.

But the problem is, dealing with that woman won't be an easy task either.

"Why"

After a long while, Onoki sighed dejectedly, shook his head, and decided to stop thinking about it.

He felt it was better to focus on the task at hand, after all, a mysterious Uchiha had emerged in the ninja world who had also stolen the Sand Village's Dragon Vein!

"They're all Uchiha people, and they might even have been from Konoha before. As expected, there's not a single good person in Konoha."

With a cold snort, Onoki sped forward, glancing at the yellow earth beside him.

"By the way, what's the situation in Konoha? And where are our reinforcements?"

"Konoha has noticed our actions. According to the ANBU's report, their ANBU have also been mobilized."

Upon hearing his old man's words, Huang Tu immediately replied.

"In addition, Konoha's border troops are also withdrawing and converging, while our reinforcements have entered the Land of Waterfall."

The deployment of a Kage is never a trivial matter, but subduing a Jinchuriki is something that other people might not be able to handle.

Besides, if someone were to attack a Jinchūriki, it's not certain that the others would be able to handle it.

Since that's the case, he might as well make all the necessary preparations and lead the team out himself.

That way, even if they encounter any trouble, they can resolve it!

"I'd like to see if any petty scoundrels will try to cause trouble this time."

Onoki muttered to himself, then sped up and continued forward.

They still couldn't pinpoint Lao Zi's location, so they needed to search further.

Moreover, as a Kage, Onoki cannot stay away from his village for long; they must speed things up.

"Is that... Ohnoki?"

After Onoki and his group left, Jiraiya peeked out from behind a large tree in the forest and looked ahead.

"They personally dispatched a team, along with their ANBU (Anbu) unit, and headed towards the Land of Fire. What are these guys up to?"

Jiraiya was unaware of Onoki and the others' purpose, and he had been away from Konoha for some time.

Actually, when he heard about the Nine-Tails incident half a year ago, he also thought about going back to Konoha to see it.

However, before he could even set off, he heard that Konoha had not suffered much damage. Although the Nine-Tails had come out, it was easily dealt with by Yuuki and the others.

Upon learning this, Jiraiya breathed a sigh of relief. Since everything was alright, he no longer needed to worry.

Moreover, he was soon distracted by another matter, namely what was happening in the Land of Hot Springs.

In a vast forest outside a small town in the Land of Hot Water, he discovered that it had been razed to the ground. Most importantly, he noticed traces of Hanzo in that place!

Hanzo the Salamander left a deep impression on Jiraiya; their title of the Three Legendary Sannin was bestowed upon them by Hanzo.

After conducting an on-site investigation, he identified a ninja who was very likely from the Land of Rain.

After some time, he finally found that guy in the Land of Waterfalls.

He received a shocking message: Hanzo had been murdered!

"Hanzo is dead?"

Upon hearing this news, Jiraiya was somewhat confused, but then he immediately became serious again.

Why did Hanzo come to the Land of Hot Springs? Who killed Hanzo? What exactly happened?

"How could someone as powerful as Hanzo be so easily slaughtered by someone dressed in black with red clouds?"

With this question in mind, Jiraiya naturally intended to investigate it thoroughly.

However, he did not expect that just as he was about to set off for the Land of Rain, he suddenly discovered that the Land of Earth had some activity again.

What he didn't expect was that even Onoki had joined the effort this time.

"The ninja world is truly far from peaceful."

Jiraiya sighed, then took out paper and pen and quickly wrote something down, and summoned a toad.

"You deliver this to Minato, understand?"

"Quack."

The toad summoned by Jiraiya gave a brief response before turning into smoke and disappearing without a trace.

"Seriously, I was planning to go to the Land of Rain to investigate and visit Yahiko and the others, but it looks like I won't be able to go now."

Watching the departing toad, Jiraiya shook his head, then stood up and cautiously followed Onoki and the others.

Now that he had encountered them, and they were heading towards the Land of Fire, as a member of Konoha, he naturally had to find out what was going on.

Although he hadn't performed admirably as a Konoha ninja during this period, he hadn't forgotten his identity—

"Huh? Haori, what brings you here?"

In Konoha, Shizune and Rin were chatting and laughing as they headed towards the medical department, carrying documents.

As she walked, Lin seemed to sense something. She looked up into the distance, then smiled and waved ahead.

"Haori?"

Shizune followed suit, and soon she saw Yuri walking over with a smile on her face.

She naturally recognized Yuzhi; they had been classmates back then.

She ultimately left Konoha because of the death of her uncle, Kato Dan, and because of her teacher, Tsunade.

Even after leaving, she and Tsunade continued to keep track of news from Konoha.

She naturally knew what state her old classmate, who had performed poorly in school and even copied her homework and exam answers, had reached now.

She also heard that when they were attacked in the Land of Hot Springs last time, it was Hagoromo who saved her and all of them.

This made her feel somewhat awkward when she saw Yuzhi.

"Rin, I've come to see Tsunade-senpai."

Yuzhi walked up to them with a smile, first smiling at Rin, and then looking at Shizune and teasing her.

"Long time no see, Jingyin. The last time I saw you, you were unconscious, and we didn't even get to exchange a single word."

"I"

Jingyin suddenly felt awkward, but for some reason, she suddenly felt less embarrassed.

Yu Zhi's current status in Konoha is such that, apart from the Hokage whom he addresses as "Sir," he can directly use "senpai" to address everyone else, so neither of them found it strange.

"Shall we see Lady Tsunade?"

This was the first time Lin had heard that Yuzhi had saved Shizune, but now was not the time to ask too many questions. She looked at Yuzhi with curiosity.

"Lady Tsunade should be in her office. By the way, where's Hotaru?"

"She is currently learning the sealing technique given to her by Kushina-senpai."

Yuzhi shrugged, unsure whether she had inexplicably activated or drawn out the power of Wood Release, which had caused her some kind of stimulation.

She is now more focused on reviewing those sealing techniques, wanting to seal the power of the dragon vein into her Susanoo as soon as possible so that she can improve.

According to her, she didn't want to be bullied by Yuzhi anymore.

Hearing this, Yuzhi couldn't hold back anymore. Was this what they called bullying?

However, Yuri is also a person who can humbly accept things, but accepting them is one thing, and changing them is another.

"Is that so? Ying is already so strong, why is she still working so hard?"

Lin said with some envy after hearing Yuzhi's words, but she quickly shook her head and smiled.

"Since you need to see Lady Tsunade, we'll take you there."

"Then I'll have to trouble you."

Yuri smiled, and then, chatting and laughing, she followed Rin and Shizune toward the medical department.

"The haori seems to be the same as it was back then, it hasn't changed much."

Shizune kept looking at Haori, thinking to herself, but she was also a little curious.

"What brings you here to see Lady Tsunade?"

She vaguely knew that Tsunade stayed behind because she seemed to have some connection with Haori and the others, but she wasn't sure what it was.

After all, there are many things she has no right to know.

While thinking to themselves and listening to Yuzhi and Rin's casual conversation, they soon arrived outside the office where Tsunade was.

"arrive."

Lin glanced at the office, and as if she had thought of something, she suddenly spoke softly.

"By the way, don't be surprised if you see anything strange later, Haori."

"Oh?"

Yuzhi paused for a moment, seemingly thinking of Tsunade's personality, and nodded with a smile.

"I know, but you should also work hard and try to become Tsunade-senpai's disciple like Shizune."

"I"

Lin was speechless for a moment when she heard this. Becoming Tsunade's disciple was no easy task.

"I'll do my best!"

However, Rin nodded seriously in response to Yuzhi's encouragement, as she didn't want to be surpassed by her old classmates one by one.

"Don't worry, just keep up the good work, and you'll get a good result."

Seeing Rin's expression, Yu Zhi knew exactly what she was thinking, but he didn't say anything more. However, he did keep this in mind.

Obito's situation has become somewhat unpredictable. He is becoming increasingly ruthless towards Kakashi, and it seems he has begun to steal Kakashi's Sharingan.

All of this suggests that Obito has probably completely severed ties with this world, so it wouldn't be surprising what he does in the future.

Including the possibility that he might actually kill Nohara Rin!

Hagoromo was incapable of empathizing with Obito, a lunatic, and naturally, he wouldn't allow Obito to do such a thing.

Kakashi can still protect himself, especially now that he can use the Mangekyou Sharingan's abilities and is constantly learning the Flying Thunder God Technique.

However, Lin's problem is more complicated; she truly lacks the ability to protect herself right now.

So, thinking about it carefully, for a medical ninja, the best ending really is Tsunade.

"Why is it you?"

With those thoughts in mind, Yuzhi knocked on the office door.

He waited for a response from inside before going in, only to find Tsunade lounging in a chair, drinking a little wine, looking at him with a puzzled expression.

After a while, Tsunade seemed to realize what was happening, and she sat up straight without making a sound and asked.

"Are you here for a check-up, or to inquire about the progress?"

"None of that matters. Actually, I know my eyes pretty well, and I'm not in a hurry."

Yu Zhi glanced at the bottles on the table and pursed his lips. Thank goodness he had given up drinking.

"Actually, there's something I need to ask of Tsunade-senpai."

"Oh, I see."

Upon hearing Yuri's words, Tsunade immediately leaned back lazily.

She was genuinely worried that Yuzhi was coming to ask about the progress, because she didn't really have any impressive results to show for herself right now.

She understood the significance of the three Uchiha clan members in Yuzhi to Konoha, and since she had no ill intentions towards the Uchiha, she was seriously doing some things.

Just then, Kakashi approached her to learn the Yin Seal, and she readily agreed, even using Kakashi's Sharingan to conduct some research.

However, the Uchiha's eyes are truly too miraculous, especially after reaching a new state, and she is helpless against that irreversible trend.

Even though she had dug up all the information about her second grandfather, she still hadn't made any progress, which was giving her quite a headache.

Seeing Yuzhi, she was naturally a little worried, but fortunately, Yuzhi hadn't come to ask her about that.

"Then why did you come to see me?"

"Actually, I came to see Tsunade-senpai about two things."

Haori shrugged, then spoke seriously.

"Senior, do you remember that psychopath with Wood Release who attacked you last time?"

That's a bunch of crazy people from your Uchiha clan.

Tsunade glared at the haori, but still nodded.

"I remember, what did you say about him? Did he steal the dragon vein and then reappear?"

"No, it's just that I thought of a problem."

Yuzhi shook his head and continued speaking.

"This lunatic has Wood Release, but the power of Wood Release is too dangerous and unknown to me."

As for dealing with that guy, I don't need to worry about the Sharingan, but as for Wood Release...

At this point, Yuzhi stopped talking.

His purpose in coming to find Tsunade this time was to obtain Wood Release!

Obtaining the power of Wood Release was naturally something to be happy about, but the development and application of Wood Release gave Hagoromo a headache.

He can directly use the power of Wood Release to damage enemies, roughly the same as Obito.

After all, in reality, Obito's use of Wood Release can be completely categorized as "randomly attacking"!

Yuri used to think this was high-end, but after he was able to use this power, he realized just how outrageous Obito really was!

"How much does this guy believe his eye technique is invincible?"

Obito had such talent and resources, but his attitude towards Wood Release was almost non-existent.

It seems he only had two techniques available from beginning to end, and these two techniques were essentially bursts of Wood Release.

For example, the Wood Release: Wood Splinter Technique can be used directly without needing to form hand seals.

The only hand seal required is when the technique lands inside the enemy's body, and then chakra is used to detonate or unleash it.

Hagoromo was confident that he could do it too, and that he could control chakra better than Obito, but this was not the result he wanted.

He's not Obito; since he has the means, he naturally wants to do better.

Look at Madara Uchiha, even though he was that strong, he still didn't give up on using and applying Wood Release.

Although this could very well be his way of commemorating Hashirama...

But since Yuzhi wants to learn from him and even use his identity, he won't overlook that.

As for the fact that the ninja world is unaware of this matter, there is no need for him to be so meticulous.

"How can we desensitize the ninja world if we don't take it seriously?"

Besides, the fox is still young, and can only maintain the "Susanoo dyeing" at most in the second stage. He also needs some other forces to help him.

"Wood Release?"

Tsunade frowned slightly, then nodded.

"I understand, this is indeed an issue that needs to be taken seriously."

"Indeed, if you don't understand Wood Release well enough, you can't know what kind of technique his hand seals will bring, or what the general situation will be like."

Seeing this, Yuzhi continued to speak.

"In that case, I'm afraid it will be difficult for me to make the right response, and there may even be some unnecessary problems."

Therefore, I would like to obtain information on Wood Release. I wonder if Lady Tsunade would be willing to provide it?

Obtaining information about Wood Release is not actually that easy.

Strictly speaking, there is no need to preserve this information about Wood Release.

Because this power has not been inherited by anyone since Hashirama Senju.

However, perhaps because of Tobirama Senju, Hashirama Senju still preserved Wood Release in written form.

One copy is naturally in the hands of the Senju clan, while the other is naturally kept by the Hokage and remains within the true Book of Seals.

Yuzhi had looked at so many "custom-made" Books of Seals, and none of them contained any record of Wood Release, clearly indicating that it was well protected.

Of course, there is one more person who has survived: Danzo, who hides in the shadows and is always causing trouble.

After all, he has Yamato in his hands.

Even if Yamato mastered the Wood Release technique to create "Furniture Release," you can't really say he could do it.

Since haori can be obtained in a simpler way, there is naturally no need to steal or rob them.

"No problem, I'll give it to you."

Just as Haori was pondering, Tsunade spoke up directly.

"But I'm curious, why did you come directly to me instead of going to Minato? I heard from Kushina that you two have a pretty good relationship."

"I've spoken with Minato-senpai, and he agreed to give it to me, but..."

Yuri did indeed go to see Minato, but he was still quite wary of the "custom-made Book of Seals".

With Tsunade back, he would naturally prefer to watch the "Senju version".

"Tch, you suspicious little brat."

Even though Haori didn't say it outright, Tsunade naturally knew what he was thinking, which made her roll her eyes.

"My grandfather didn't have that kind of mindset, and for the sake of the village, I don't think anyone would refuse."

If you want it, I'll give it to you. Anyway, I've studied Kakashi's Sharingan, so I should give it to you as a return gift.

However, I have one condition that I hope you can fulfill.

"Oh?"

Hagoromo gave Tsunade a strange look, then tilted his head and asked.

"What's wrong?"

"That lunatic from your Uchiha clan, doesn't he have the power of Wood Release?"

Tsunade deliberately rearranged her words before continuing.

"I hope to bring back some of his body tissues if possible."

After all, this guy's situation is special, and I want to investigate his physical condition, and at the same time...

At this point, Tsunade's expression also turned somewhat somber.

"I also want to figure out how he obtained my grandfather's power!"

With her Wood Release power stolen and that lunatic causing such a huge mess, Tsunade naturally wouldn't let him get away with it.

"Okay, I promise you, I'll do it if I can."

When Yuzhi heard this question, he wanted to refuse, but after thinking about it carefully, he agreed.

Obito's secret will be discovered sooner or later, and the secret of Hagoromo and the others' eyes will probably be gradually uncovered in the future.

In that case, making some preparations in advance and letting people explore the secrets of Obito's body is definitely not a bad thing for them!

After all, while the power of White Zetsu originated from Hashirama Senju, was it really Hashirama Senju?

Now that Yuzhi "knew" this secret and knew it could heal her eyes, how could Minato and the others refuse to give it to her?

By then, Hagoromo will also have the Wood Release materials, and these materials were provided by Konoha.

The main point is that it's infuriating, but you can't blame it!

"That's good."

Tsunade had no idea what Haori was thinking. She stretched and then asked curiously.

"Didn't you say there was one more thing? What is it?"

"I wonder if Tsunade-senpai would be willing to take on more disciples?"

Hagoromo was also satisfied with the current result, and he smiled as he asked Tsunade.

"disciple?"

Tsunade frowned, then spoke with disdain.

"I'm sorry, but I only accept disciples who have talent and perseverance. How could I possibly accept just any disciple?"

If you're here to lobby for someone, then I advise you to forget about it!

"Is that so?"

Yuzhi nodded, then asked curiously.

"I wonder how much debt Tsunade-senpai still owes?"

"What do you mean?"

"If I'm willing to help Tsunade-senpai clear some of her debts, then..."

"It's just a disciple. Tell me, who is it?"

-

"Minato, I think Hagoromo's idea is right. You should also take a look at the information on Wood Release."

Inside the Hokage's office, the Third Hokage looked at Minato, who was processing documents, and after a moment of thought, he spoke.

"That guy not only has the Sharingan, but also the Wood Release."

Although the manifestation is not strong, we must be careful because of this ability.

The power of Wood Release is extraordinary; the more you understand it, the less trouble you'll have when dealing with it.

The fact that Haori brought up the topic of Wood Release today has indeed taken the Third Hokage quite seriously.

They naturally have information on Wood Release, and not only Wood Release, they also have information on Sharingan!

After all, in order to prevent various problems, the village naturally needs to make various preparations, which is also the basis for their judgment based on the kaleidoscope.

Although that lunatic mostly used the Sharingan's abilities, Wood Release did ultimately defeat the Sharingan.

Therefore, making some preparations against Wood Release is never a bad idea!

"I understand, Third Hokage. I will do it."

Minato smiled and nodded, then stroked his chin and asked curiously.

"However, we have Wood Release here."

"Don't be misled by that bastard Yuzhi, our Wood Release techniques are absolutely fine!"

Before Minato could finish speaking, the Third Hokage anticipated what Minato was about to say, which immediately darkened his expression.

Yuzhi didn't want their Wood Release materials because he was worried about them cutting corners. He admitted that the previous Book of Seals had indeed been abridged.

However, a village is bound to have some hidden places, and in order to prevent theft, it will inevitably take some corresponding measures.

This is something that is beyond reproach, but you can't doubt whether the village actually exists!

"Let him go ask Tsunade for it if he wants; you don't need to make things so complicated."

"I understand."

Minato gave an awkward laugh, and after thinking for a moment, he continued.

"However, I think that the Book of Seals we give to Yuzhi later could be a more complete one, after all..."

The third generation's lips twitched, but he didn't know how to refute it.

With his current achievements in Konoha, coupled with his own reputation, Yuzhi has truly reached a peak in Konoha.

Moreover, this kid's influence has truly reached an extremely high level.

The police department has now completed its "network design," thoroughly extending its power to every corner of Konoha.

Frankly speaking, with such "outlets," they can do many things better and more conveniently than the covert operations team!

These "service points" have been well received by the residents of Konoha, especially since the people working at these points are genuinely helping everyone solve their problems.

They implemented the reformed style of the police department and also took the initiative to handle many neighborhood disputes.

At the same time, they also officially established the "Legal Affairs Department". Although the head is still being selected, it has been confirmed that it will not be a member of the Uchiha clan.

Instead, they will choose from four clans: Sarutobi, Nara, Inuzuka, and Aburame, leaving everyone speechless.

Furthermore, the third generation also heard that the police department is currently divesting the prison system, which is another small piece of the pie that can be shared with others.

Given time, once the "combat force" belonging to the police department is established, one can imagine what this behemoth will be like!

There's really no need to think about the future; the current police department is already far ahead of many other departments.

As the person who effectively controls the police department, Yuri does indeed enjoy more privileges.

"Whatever you want, but let's skip some forbidden techniques; those are only for the Hokage to see."

After pondering for a long time, the Third Hokage nodded helplessly, increasingly feeling that he might really be about to create a "Hokage of the Uchiha".

He could even see it while he was alive.

"Um?"

Just as they were pondering, Minato suddenly frowned as if he had sensed something, and then he formed a hand seal.

boom--

Amidst a puff of smoke, a toad appeared before the two of them.

"This is..." The Third Hokage looked at Minato with a puzzled expression: "Jiraiya?"

"Hmm, it must be that Jiraiya-sensei wants to convey some message."

Minato nodded, then picked up the scroll that the toad had spat out and began to read it carefully.

After only a moment, he raised his head and said seriously.

"Third Hokage, Jiraiya-sensei has discovered Onoki's movements in the Land of Waterfall, and he is currently heading towards the border of the Land of Fire."

"So fast?"

The third generation leader's expression tightened upon hearing this, and he immediately continued to ask.

"So what about the Iwagakure forces? What have they done?"

"They're also getting closer; it seems he's taken some countermeasures."

As Minato finished speaking, he couldn't help but glance at the Third Hokage, which made the Third Hokage somewhat embarrassed.

He hadn't forgotten how his travel information had been leaked last time, resulting in him being ambushed by a group of people.

The reason Onoki is being so cautious now is simply because he has learned from his previous mistake.

"Now that they've taken action, let's have our secret service follow suit."

The third generation gave an awkward laugh, then spoke with utmost seriousness.

"Onoki's purpose this time is to take the Four-Tails Jinchuriki. Nobody knows how far they will go."

We must ensure they don't cross the line and don't escalate the situation to the Land of Fire's side.

"I understand. Actually, what I'm most worried about is that mysterious Uchiha."

Minato nodded, and after thinking for a moment, he said...

"Besides that, there's Jiraiya-sensei. He's with Onoki and the others now, I'm afraid..."

Jiraiya's appearance in the Land of Waterfalls was not unexpected; his whereabouts had been completely unpredictable lately.

It wouldn't be surprising for him to appear anywhere, but this time the situation was a bit special, and Minato couldn't help but worry about Jiraiya.

"Tell Jiraiya to stand by, and at the same time, give him your kunai."

After thinking it over, the third generation quickly came up with a plan.

"Also, let's try to bring Jiraiya back this time. After all, Orochimaru and Tsunade are in Konoha, and we're just missing him."

Having his disciples all in Konoha is not only good for Konoha, but also makes the Third Hokage feel gratified.

However, there is a problem here, namely Orochimaru.

Orochimaru's behavior is becoming increasingly strange; even after Tsunade returned, he still hasn't gone to see her.

This situation naturally worried the Third Hokage, and after much thought, he felt it would be better to let Jiraiya return.

After all, Jiraiya was shameless enough that as long as he came back, he would go and find Orochimaru no matter where he was hiding.

If everyone has a chance to have a good talk, perhaps many things can be brought to a conclusion, or even a solution.

The most dangerous thing is when we can't even talk!

"Orochimaru."

The third generation sighed inwardly.

"Hopefully, it's not too late."

-

"Tsunade is truly wealthy and generous."

Sitting at home, Yuzhi put the documents in her hand on the table and then couldn't help but sigh.

The Wood Release information she provided could truly be described as 'rich' and 'generous'.

It's unclear whether Tsunade was too lazy to organize it, or if she felt that only such a detailed compilation would allow her to better deal with the enemy.

These materials even specify the concepts behind many techniques and some precautions, which makes it easier for practitioners to use them!

This benefited Yuzhi greatly. Although there was a lot of information and it took him several days to read it all, the gains were enormous.

Of course, besides that, Tsunade is indeed wealthy and generous, but she really doesn't have any money.

"I heard that Lady Tsunade has taken on another disciple, and it's Rin again?"

Hikari, who was sitting to the side looking at the documents in her hand, noticed that Haori had stopped and suddenly asked a question out of curiosity.

This matter has already spread throughout Konoha. After all, Tsunade is one of the Legendary Sannin of Konoha, and their every move carries a lot of meaning.

Even without delving into it, the actions of such a powerful ninja are bound to attract attention.

However, Yuzhi also had some complaints in her heart. Tsunade didn't accept Rin as her disciple because she was moved by Rin's hard work, but because she was moved by Yuzhi's money.

It's hard to imagine that a medical ninja as strong as Tsunade would have so much debt, and even Hagoromo was shocked by it.

Although it hurt a little, Yuzhi still took it out without hesitation, since strictly speaking, Yuzhi wasn't short of money.

"Yeah, it was me who spoke first, otherwise it wouldn't have gone so smoothly."

Although she was internally criticizing Tsunade, Hagoromo still replied smugly.

There are many things that Haori won't hide from Hikari, and besides, this isn't a big deal.

"Yeah?"

Guang tilted his head, then muttered a question to himself.

"Then why is there suddenly a sum of money missing from the house?"

"Cough cough cough cough"

Yu Zhi immediately coughed, then quickly changed the subject.

"Money is a small matter. By the way, Kakashi has already set off. It seems I'll be going soon too."

"Has he already set off?"

Hikaru didn't care about money, and she never thought of keeping the money for the haori.

She glanced at Yuzhi with a puzzled look before frowning and asking.

"So you're in such a hurry? Didn't you say you were going to make good use of your Wood Release this time?"

"You've only just finished reviewing the materials, it seems you're too late, aren't you?"

"Don't underestimate me, and don't underestimate the power within you."

Yuzhi smiled and shook his head; he was very confident now.

I spent so many days repeatedly studying this information, rehearsing it in my mind, and evaluating it based on my own chakra.

He also made some judgments—he could use most of the Wood Release techniques relatively easily!

The power of White Zetsu originally belonged to Hashirama Senju, and now that this power has been unleashed, the Hagoromo can naturally be used.

What he lacks is the method of using the spell, as well as the skill of casting it; he is not so worried about other aspects!

Of course, he also knew in his heart that some techniques were not easy to master.

After all, Hashirama Senju's techniques have always been inseparable from a massive amount of chakra, and at the same time require exquisite control.

However, Yuri's last "glorious evolution" chose "chakra," and he himself was already skilled at controlling chakra.

"Therefore, as long as I remember the hand seals, casting techniques, and so on, I can master the use of Wood Release!"

Thinking about this, Yuzhi couldn't help but sigh that White Zetsu truly deserves to be called one of the biggest bugs in Naruto.

Although the vast majority of White Zetsu are fools, there are still some extremely powerful beings among the special selections made by Madara Uchiha.

For example, there's Tobi, who covered Obito's body and controlled Yamato in the original story, unleashing a whole bunch of Wood Release techniques.

And this Tobi also has the cells in the haori, which are already operating in his body, making his control over Wood Release even easier!

According to Yuzhi's estimation, he could now directly use Tree World Descent, or even Wood Dragon, without any problems.

Although its power is definitely not comparable to that of Madara Uchiha and Hashirama Senju, he still has time to slowly refine it!

"Once you unlock this power, you'll realize that what we lack in Wood Release is simply the method of using it."

"Tch, how arrogant."

Guang shook her head, leaned back on the sofa and thought for a moment before speaking.

"Fine, I know it's no use trying to persuade you, but you'd better be careful."

Don't worry.

Haori walked towards the light, then reached out and pulled the light into his arms.

"I'm not even engaged yet, how could I possibly be careless?"

Just by watching Yuzhi's actions and hearing what this guy said, her face immediately turned red.

What do you mean? You're being so blatant. Does that mean if I don't refuse you, you'll become even more unscrupulous?

She pursed her lips, but in the end, she didn't put up any resistance. Anyway, she felt that her resistance wouldn't be very effective.

That brat is so shameless and goes too far; he'll probably still come after me later.

It's better to just leave it at that.

"However, we do need to practice a bit before we can take action."

Bathed in light, she pondered silently.

"I'll find some time to try it out in the Divine Might Space. Although I'm sure there won't be any problems, I'll at least see how it goes."

Furthermore, it's unknown how effective it would be to use Wood Release in combination with Sage Mode.

If it works even better, then…

So Yuzhi decided to use the natural power of the dragon vein to complement his operation this time!

Sage Mode chakra, Wood Release, plus the disguise of Madara Uchiha—who knows what kind of effect it will have?

"But it will definitely make Onoki happy."

Haori tightened her grip on Hikari's arm, causing Hikari to lean against him.

"After all, this is a combination of Sage Mode and Wood Release, the method that Madara Uchiha will use to deal with Naruto and the others in the future."

Now that I'm letting you experience it ahead of time, you should thank me, but...

But later, when Madara Uchiha appeared, Onoki suddenly heard Madara Uchiha say something—

Although I didn’t know you had become an Edo Tensei, I’ve fought you so many times that I’m no longer afraid of you!

I wonder what kind of expression Madara Uchiha will have.

Thank you all for your support, subscriptions, and monthly passes!

I'm off tomorrow, and I was getting ready to go home today, so I'm a little late.

P.S.: My friend told me today that his crush asked him to walk her dog, and he happily went, only to find out that she was on a date with another guy. He felt like he was walking one of his own kind.

This whole thing had me laughing so hard I was completely stunned, and I'm still not quite back to my senses. Sorry...
