Konoha: This Uchiha is going a bit too far.

Chapter 164 Is he really the reincarnation of Hashirama Senju? I am the Hokage!

The moment Hagoromo sensed a change in his chakra, he immediately felt that the power within him had become different.

The power of the origin of chakra was constantly pulsating, and this pulsation caused the power belonging to the Taketori and Hyuga within his body to begin to merge with the power of the Uchiha and Senju!

This fusion was very strange. Hyuga's power didn't seem to react much, and he seemed to neither resist nor be interested in it.

It's hard to imagine how something obtained after being intertwined with the power of the Kaguya clan could convey such emotions.

What's even stranger is that Yuri can clearly sense this emotion that belongs to power!

"What's going on?"

Yuzhi was somewhat bewildered. He had no idea what was going on, and what was worse, he was already feeling pain in his body!

The Hyuga's power did not react, but the Uchiha, Senju, and even the Taketori's power seemed to have a great interest in merging with each other.

Driven and guided by the 'Origin Power of Chakra', they became incredibly active, and this activity also activated the power of Hyuga within Haori.

"The Uchiha, Senju, and the Taketori."

Although the inexplicable pain was almost unbearable, Yuzhi's mind was still unusually clear. He instantly realized what was happening as he sensed the activity of the three forces.

"These three powers all seem to have mutated after Kaguya Otsutsuki obtained her Devil Fruit. Could it be..."

If that's the case, then Hagoromo will be able to understand the changes in her current situation much better.

It's not surprising that these mutated powers can attract each other, since his 'Chakra Origin Power' is a product of the 'Fruit'.

Moreover, their interaction can also boost Hyuga's power and quickly integrate it with his other powers, which doesn't seem like a bad thing at all.

After all, Yuri herself has been continuously fusing the power of White Zetsu with herself over the years, so it's naturally gratifying that the "Origin of Chakra" brings such an effect.

"But why now of all times, when I was completely unprepared?"

Yuri cursed inwardly, wondering if the surge of power within him was due to his deliberate activation of the "Takenori and Hyuga Chakra" to help Hikaru.

However, he didn't have the energy to think about it anymore, as the extreme pain had already spread throughout his body!

"Strange, why doesn't it hurt as much anymore?"

At first glance, she didn't know what was happening, but she could feel her power continuing to increase.

More importantly, that feeling of "blood boiling" seemed to indicate that her bloodline was also being enhanced.

This wasn't the first time she'd experienced this feeling. With her experience in bloodline limit fusion and even bloodline elimination fusion, Hikari was quite familiar with such changes.

This change naturally delighted her, as it indicated that she was moving in the right direction, step by step, to catch up with Yuri's footsteps.

However, what puzzled her was that the intense pain she felt inside her body seemed to have weakened.

While this is technically a good thing, doubts will still arise.

"Of course you're not in pain anymore, because all the pain has been transferred to me."

Yu Zhi mentally complained, feeling a bit strained. Under such pain, even speaking was becoming difficult for him.

"Are you alright?"

Fortunately, Hikari quickly noticed that Yui's expression was off, and she immediately tried to get up and help Yui up.

"Don't move, I'm fine."

Yuzhi shook his head, trembling slightly. He didn't dare to move at all. It hurt even if he stood still, and it would hurt even more if he moved!

"Strictly speaking, it's a good thing, because I accidentally triggered the power within me while helping you."

The powers within me are currently surging and merging, so strictly speaking, you really are my lucky star.

Although she was in so much pain that her voice was trembling, in order to avoid Hikaru worrying too much, Haori quickly demonstrated what 'emotional intelligence' means.

Even if she can't put on a "deeply affectionate" look, her sincerity is what matters, after all, Yuzhi is someone who understands what "sincerity" means.

"You bastard"

Although Hikari knew Yuori all too well, having lived together inseparable for so many years, she was still somewhat touched by Yuori's words.

She looked at Yuzhi with a mixture of amusement and exasperation, and in the end simply placed her hand on Yuzhi's hand.

"Honestly, if you can put up with this, why don't you believe me? You were relying on me back then."

And don't make me worry so much by acting recklessly without understanding the situation.

"Are you my fiancée?"

Although Yuzhi was wincing in pain, he still replied with a smile.

"If I don't help you, who else will I help? Besides, I'll need your care for the rest of my life. Isn't it good that you're worried about me?"

Haori's undisguised words made Hikaru purse her lips, but the smile on her face was still evident.

However, Dou, who was standing behind them, had his head down, and a sharp glint was reflected in his glasses.

For a moment, he really felt like he was full, not just full, but stuffed!

He really wanted to say, "Excuse me, gentlemen, could you please be more considerate? He's still just a child."

But after thinking about it, he decided to follow Shisui's example and pretend he didn't see it. Although the atmosphere was a bit sour, he could avoid being scolded by keeping quiet.

"How are you feeling now?"

Guang shook her head slightly, then asked with some curiosity.

"Does it still hurt that much?"

"Of course it hurts, but the benefits are definitely noticeable."

Yuri smiled. Although it hurt terribly, the power belonging to the fruit fused together exceptionally quickly.

This speed completely exceeded Haori's expectations, and even the power of Hyuga was constantly merging under their influence.

However, this also brought about an awkward problem: he discovered that the power within his body seemed to have increased again.

The power within him was already incredibly complex. When Obito absorbed the Ten-Tails, it was like a loose, scattered bundle. But now, his power is even more formidable than Obito's loose bundle.

The powers of three bloodline limits—Burning Release, Lava Release, and Flame Release—lingered within him.

Besides, the Yin Release of the Uchiha and the Yang Release of the Senju are merging, but they are not yet completely intertwined.

Special Yuki used the "Six Paths Technique" and "Yin-Yang Training" to refine and detail the power of Yin Release and Yang Release very clearly, so as to facilitate his fusion of Yin and Yang Release.

However, this approach resulted in the fusion of the 'Senju and Uchiha powers,' even though neither of these powers intended to merge.

Moreover, he also possesses the powers of Hyuga and Taketori, making his body a complete mess, the kind that even the future Obito would probably shake his head in disbelief.

As a result, this fusion not only accelerated the fusion of the Senju and Uchiha, as well as the fusion of the Taketori and Hyuga powers, but also unexpectedly caused some fusion of the surrounding powers.

These forces then mysteriously coalesced into a completely new, high-quality force that left everyone speechless!

What kind of power this was, even Yuzhi herself couldn't say for sure, but it made Yuzhi wonder.

"Could this be the power of the Otsutsuki clan?"

Yuzhi was somewhat confused, but he had a strange premonition that such power was definitely worth looking forward to.

Even if such power doesn't reach the level of Otsutsuki, it should at least be at the level of Indra, right?

At the very least, he should be close to the point where Madara Uchiha is about to awaken the Rinnegan, right?

After all, in Yuri's mind, Madara Uchiha, who had awakened the Rinnegan, was actually stronger than Indra.

Even though Indra was the son of the six realms, he never touched the power of the Rinnegan in his entire life.

"And you, how are you feeling right now?"

Yuri was lost in thought, but he was still very concerned about Hikari's condition. After hearing Yuri's words, Hikari briefly assessed his own condition before speaking.

"Very good. Under the guidance and fusion of this power, I can clearly feel myself getting stronger."

Especially in terms of bloodlines, it seems you guessed right once. Just like the fusion of bloodline limits and bloodline nets, these powers are very effective for us.

Although I don't know how far I can improve, if I continue like this, I might indeed be able to take another step forward.

No, I've already taken another step forward. Perhaps I'll become stronger and better!

"Really? That's wonderful! Your eyes might really have a chance!"

Yuri was naturally delighted to hear this, as Hikaru's eyes had always been his biggest concern.

Now that there seems to be a solution to this problem, how could Yuzhi not be overjoyed?

Moreover, even if integrating these new cells to enhance bloodline cannot completely evolve the Sharingan, having these powers as a foundation is equivalent to having another possible approach.

The power of the Tenseigan!

The power of the Tenseigan belongs to Hamura. The main reason why Hagoromo dared to make a move was because Hamura and Hagoromo were brothers.

But as for the brothers, heaven knows how Kaguya Otsutsuki managed to create those two.

After all, the anime and manga are different, but Haori still prefers the idea that the two of them are products of energy.

In that case, their blood ties might not be as strong as they imagined, so Yuzhi was also a little worried.

But with Hyuga's power, things will be different. After all, having a similar foundation makes integration more likely, right?

However, Haori's excited expression appeared in a completely different light in Hikaru's eyes.

"He's in so much pain, why is he still so excited? Could it be?"

Hikaru immediately guessed that Yuri was so excited because he heard him say "go a step further," after all, this guy had always been eyeing him covetously!

"Oh no, this pervert is so excited, what outrageous things will he do next!"

Guang felt a little worried, and for a moment she even wondered if she should just give up on the advancement.

"Mother, when are we going to visit Father?"

"Sasuke, you know your father is very busy, and besides, why don't you just go by yourself?"

"No, let's go together!"

At Mikoto's house, Sasuke kept clinging to her and acting all cute, which made Mikoto feel somewhat helpless.

Yuzhi is now the Hokage, and her status and position are completely different from before, although Yuzhi herself probably doesn't care about these things at all.

But Mikoto felt she needed to think about it, even if it didn't really make much sense.

Besides, in Mikoto's opinion, if Sasuke wants to go, he can go on his own. Why does he have to drag her along?

"Sasuke, is there something else you need to do?"

Mikoto knows her son all too well, and she truly cares a lot about Sasuke's thoughts. In her view, Itachi Uchiha's current state is a failure of her parenting.

She knew that she couldn't really help Itachi Uchiha grow up; Fugaku Uchiha had a greater influence on him. But what could she do when Mikoto was her mother?

Now, Itachi Uchiha has not only betrayed his clan and village, but has also made the most foolish decision—to defect.

This made Mikoto completely give up on Itachi Uchiha, and now she will focus all her attention on Sasuke and her family.

"that."

Sasuke was a little embarrassed, but he quickly looked at Mikoto seriously and said.

"Mother, I want to become Father's disciple, so let's go see Father together."

"To become...Haori's disciple?"

Mikoto looked at her good son with a puzzled expression. At that moment, she wondered if her good son had turned into a fool.

No, you're already someone else's son, why would you want to become his disciple?

Such a redundant idea left Mikoto somewhat dumbfounded.

She always thought Sasuke was very smart, so how come he's become so stupid now? And if he's stupid, why is he this stupid?

"No, what are you thinking? He's your father!"

If you want to learn something, just find him directly. Why go through all that trouble?

"And you silly child, the Hokage's position isn't just for your family. It's very important. What are you thinking?"

Mikoto was also extremely troubled; she knew very well what being a Hokage's disciple meant.

Fugaku Uchiha once dreamed of making Itachi Uchiha a disciple of Minato, because doing so would be equivalent to giving them a ticket to become Hokage.

They also hoped to leverage Minato's influence to help the Uchiha clan stand out and reach new heights.

However, is it better to make your son someone else's disciple than to work hard to become Hokage yourself?

Just look at the haori and you'll know. I am the Hokage myself, why do I need to rely on others!

As a result, the entire family has changed because of Yuzhi, but he and Yuzhi's foolish son are unable to comprehend it.

"What do you mean by calling me and Yuzhi's stupid son?"

Mikoto paused for a moment, muttered a slightly puzzled comment to herself, and then looked at Sasuke and spoke slowly.

"You shouldn't be so ungrateful. It's not right for you to bother your father like this."

Stop obsessing over being a Hokage disciple. You're the Hokage's son; there's no need for that.

"But...but..."

Sasuke opened his mouth, but for a moment he didn't know what to say. Although he seemed to have heard Shikamaru say that as the sons of the Hokage, they had no need to compete with others.

But he still wanted to spend more time with his father, so he took Mikoto's hand and said sweetly.

"Then can we go together, Father? I'd like to learn some other things too."

"You haven't even mastered Lightning Release yet, have you?"

"Perfect timing, I'd like to ask you some questions!"

"You."

Looking at her silly, spoiled son, Mikoto was both amused and exasperated, but after thinking about it carefully, she nodded in agreement.

Although she heard that Yuzhi was very busy during this time, she should still have time to see her silly son, right?

Moreover, Mikoto herself doesn't know why, but she also wants to meet with Haori.

The haori brought the Uchiha clan not only peace of mind, but also gave her a true sense of home.

Although she never said anything about it, she really liked this feeling.

"How about we invite him over for a chat one evening?"

-

"This technique really needs a lot of modifications..."

Inside the Hokage's office, Hagoromo looked at the scroll in his hand, recalling the words Hiruko had uttered after being tortured by genjutsu. He couldn't help but rub his temples.

Of course, Yuri knew that the current level of "crudeness" of the Oni-Garra technique was probably shocking, since Hiruko wouldn't actually take action for another ten years.

However, when Yuzhi actually came into contact with the procedure, he still stared at the information with a dumbfounded expression.

He now understood why Orochimaru was so pessimistic about this technique; it turned out that this technique was really just a matter of brute force!

Instead of using this technique, it would be better to stick to the "research route." At least compared to this technique, the "research route" seems so much safer and more reliable!

"There are so many things that need to be changed, it's really a headache."

Yuzhi rubbed his temples, feeling that his workload was about to increase.

Although it was clear from the beginning that this technique needed to be drastically modified, since this technique involves devouring the bloodline of others, while what Yuzhi was going to do was devour her own power, the modifications were inevitable.

But now he finds that there are a lot of things that need to be changed, which inevitably makes him feel a little frustrated.

"However, looking at these documents, various thoughts naturally came to mind."

Yuri stroked his chin, put down the scroll, and pondered to himself.

"And every idea he comes up with has a complete logical structure. It seems that Orochimaru's talent is at work."

Yuri had always been curious about how Orochimaru's "talent for ninjutsu research" would manifest, since this talent wasn't a combat talent that could be concretely displayed.

Just like the talent that Haori first obtained, Kamui, which was directly displayed in his eyes after the Mangekyou Sharingan was activated.

Once he absorbs another divine power talent, he will be able to unleash the full divine power with just one eye!

The same applies to Shisui's talent for illusion. Although Yui is rather lax in his use of illusion, he rarely relies on it in his own way. Even when he does use it, he has "God's Heaven".

Therefore, he has never put much effort into developing illusion techniques, but even so, Yuzhi can still clearly feel that his illusion techniques are constantly getting stronger.

Even he himself could feel that his attack capabilities with "God Tianjin" seemed to have improved significantly.

This improvement left him unsure whether to be happy or unhappy; in any case, he still didn't feel like he was about to awaken "Kotoamatsukami".

However, barring the possibility of Kotoamatsukami appearing, it's still good news that Kamisama's attack power has been enhanced. This way, he can better disguise himself as Uchiha Izuna.

"It seems like my thinking is getting clearer. Perhaps I can revise it like this?"

Yuzhi picked up his pen and immediately began writing busily. He knew very well that there were dark forces in the shadows, but these dark forces were not there to monitor him.

Whatever he writes, if these secret agents dare to peek at it without his permission, he won't even need to lift a finger; the others will take care of them.

Sometimes, rules are rules, and there's nothing you can do about it.

"What are you doing?"

Just as Yuri was rapidly developing a theoretical design for the Ghost Sprout Technique, the door suddenly opened, and Hikaru glanced at Yuri with a puzzled look before walking straight over.

"Some ideas are better written down."

Haori smiled nonchalantly. The only people who could freely enter and exit the Hokage's office without knocking, besides Hikaru, were the incredibly shameless Tobirama Senju.

He wouldn't care if it was just his fiancée, but Tobirama Senju is utterly shameless, yet you say he's useless.

This guy is still the Second Hokage, so we should at least give him some face. Besides, Yuri already scolded him severely last time, but this "naturally evil Senju brat" has a skin thicker than a city wall.

Besides, he's a dead man, so he probably doesn't care at all. So cursing him won't do any good!

"Lord Hokage, we'll take our leave now."

Just as Haori reached out to show Hikaru what she had written, Kakashi appeared with a group of Anbu members in the next instant. He then bowed slightly to Haori and silently turned and left.

"You bastard, what kind of bad impression did you leave on them?!"

Hikari couldn't hold back any longer, and she glared at Haori, speaking with shame and indignation.

Unfortunately, Kakashi and the others turned away with their heads down, giving them no chance to explain.

"What's going on, you evil Uchiha brat? Are you going to defile this sacred place, the Hokage's office, again?"

However, just as Kakashi and the others went out, Tobirama Senju, along with Tsunade and the Third Hokage, came over. They looked at the Anbu members who were walking out with their heads down with a puzzled expression.

He looked up at Haori and Hikaru again, and in the next instant they both realized something, and Tobirama Senju couldn't hold back any longer.

"Watch your words, or I'll have you jailed for slandering the Hokage!"

Yuri was immediately annoyed. Tsunade and the Third Hokage hadn't even said anything, so why were you in such a hurry? You're practically dead, aren't you?

"You despicable bastard, what are you going to tell others after you do this?"

Tobirama Senju didn't care about any of that. He wasn't afraid of Hagoromo's threats. At worst, he would just cast off the Impure World Reincarnation and go back to the Pure Land to sleep!

If you abandon your research, only Yuzuri will suffer the consequences.

"If you continue like this, word will inevitably get out, and you'll ruin the Hokage's reputation!"

"Who dares to say it, who dares to spread it, and who will believe it?"

"You'll regret this!"

"You've overstepped your bounds, Second Generation."

Senju Tobirama was even more annoyed by Haori's nonchalant attitude, but he didn't know how to refute her.

After hesitating for a moment, he shouted out a classic line, and Yuzhi was stunned for a moment after hearing it, and then subconsciously spoke up.

"Don't forget, I am the Hokage."

For a moment, the air seemed to freeze.

The third generation smacked his lips; he felt this conversation was somewhat familiar.

Tsunade couldn't help but blink. An Uchiha who could make her grandfather suffer a setback and not say anything was really interesting!

At this moment, Tobirama Senju's face twisted with rage.

Are you the Hokage?

I was like that decades ago!

However, what troubled him was that he was only the former Hokage, and it seemed he really couldn't control the current Hokage.

"Alright, Third Hokage, Tsunade-senpai, what can I do for you?"

Seeing that Tobirama Senju was somewhat vulnerable after being attacked by "You Regret My Shadow," Hagoromo chuckled dryly and turned to look at the Third Hokage.

"Just say what you want to say, don't pay any attention to this evil old devil with a thousand hands."

"you"

Upon hearing these words, Tobirama Senju's face darkened, and he reached out to say something, but the Third Hokage quickly interrupted him.

"Fifth Hokage, you're still the Second Hokage, show some respect. Besides, the Second Hokage is planning to teach you some very important things."

"Oh?"

Haori blinked, glanced at Tobirama Senju with a puzzled look, and then asked curiously.

"A Senju, teaching me, an Uchiha, what? I've already learned the Flying Thunder God Technique, haven't I?"

The Third Hokage looked somewhat embarrassed. He glanced at Tsunade and noticed that she wasn't even looking at him, which made him hesitate for a moment.

However, Tobirama Senju failed to notice this small detail and snorted coldly.

"You already have the strength of your elder brother, although it's still small, but I think you can start some training."

Those evil Uchiha all possess the power of their elder brother, Wood Release. You don't want to be inferior to them just because you don't know Wood Release, do you?

木遁

Upon hearing this, Hagoromo and Hikaru were stunned. They already knew Wood Release, did they really need to learn it?

Soon, Yuzhi gave the Third Hokage and Tsunade a strange look, and when he found that neither of them dared to speak, he immediately understood what was going on.

Tsunade gave him the Wood Release information, and the Third Hokage naturally knew about it, but neither of them dared to tell Tobirama Senju.

"Doesn't the Book of Seals contain Wood Release? Do I need you to teach me?"

Hagoromo guessed what the two were thinking, but instead of exposing it, he looked at Tobirama Senju strangely and asked.

"Besides, do you even know how?"

"Of course not, but I have complete information!"

Tobirama Senju shook his head dismissively, tilting his head back slightly in an arrogant manner.

"Besides, what's left in the Book of Seals is all junk, cough cough, it's all incomplete. If you want complete information, you have to look at what our Thousand Hands have preserved!"

Tobirama Senju's words made Hagoromo blink, and then he looked at the Third Hokage with a playful expression.

The third generation leader's face had darkened by this point. He hadn't forgotten that when Haori questioned whether the Book of Seals contained "custom-made" items and that they hadn't asked them for them at all.

Surprisingly, this kid actually guessed right?

For a fleeting moment, the Third Hokage seemed to agree with Haori's description of him as "the evil Thousand-Armed Demon."

"Everyone, now that we've reached an agreement, I will hand the documents over to the Hokage, and you can return home after he signs them."

"Thank you, Fourth Hokage."

In a meeting room in Konoha, Minato smiled as he looked at the envoys from Iwagakure and Kumogakure, who in turn greeted him with smiles.

But perhaps their hearts, like the shadows beside them, are filled with bitterness and resentment?

After all, it was hard for anyone to accept that their own Shadow had been captured, but they were helpless to do anything about it!

"Just call me Minato. I'm not Hokage anymore."

Minato modestly shook his head, but his words prompted Ohnoki, who was standing to the side, to chuckle and speak.

"You were so young and healthy, and your strength was immense, yet you became the former Hokage. Don't you feel any remorse?"

"Hmph, I certainly acknowledge your title as the fastest ninja in the world. As for Uchiha Haori, he..."

The Fourth Raikage also snorted and spoke up, but he was interrupted by Minato before he could finish his sentence.

"Enough. Konoha's decisions are beyond your comprehension, and my decisions do not require your approval."

Remember your place. You are the defeated side, especially the Raikage. You and your troops lost to the Hokage. You are the last person who has the right to speak.

"you"

The Fourth Raikage was so choked up by Minato that he could barely speak. He really wanted to say that he didn't lose to Uchiha Haori, but to Uchiha Hotaru!

But then I thought, isn't Uchiha Hotaru her wife? That's even more embarrassing.

"Indeed, but I hope you all remember the lesson of Madara Uchiha."

Onoki knew he was in a weaker position; all he could do was disgust the people of Konoha, and that was about it.

However, he couldn't help but sigh inwardly, as it seemed that a new Uchiha Madara had indeed appeared!

boom--

However, at that moment, the earth suddenly trembled slightly, and the next instant, a vibrant chakra burst forth.

"Um?"

Everyone present sensed this aura, and they immediately craned their necks to look into the distance, especially Onoki, whose expression was the most peculiar at this moment.

"This aura, could it be..."

Having witnessed the First Hokage and Madara Uchiha, although he remembered Madara Uchiha the most, it didn't mean he didn't know what this aura meant.

"This is Hashirama Senju! What's going on? And his chakra is quite strong!"

Onoki muttered to himself, but the next moment his expression turned even more unpleasant.

"Damn it, Konoha already has Madara Uchiha, and now someone resembling Hashirama Senju has appeared?"

"Is Konoha really going to regress by forty or fifty years?"

-

"Kid, did you understand?"

In a special training ground in Konoha, Hikaru, Kakashi, Tsunade, the Third Hokage, and Jiraiya, who had been forcibly brought there, stood to the side.

Hikaru, Kakashi, and Tsunade had all received White Zetsu cells, either openly or secretly, so it was perfectly appropriate for them to observe from the sidelines.

Jiraiya was brought along to prevent him from causing trouble again, especially since he's currently the only one in Konoha who knows Sage Mode.

Although Tobirama Senju was an evil "brat," he was naturally willing to do everything in his power for Konoha.

He tried to teach his older brother what he knew, and then he taught Yuzhi and the others. Otherwise, he wouldn't have offered to take the Wood Release information, and Jiraiya wouldn't have been able to escape either!

Of course, this is also related to the fact that Jiraiya himself did not object, otherwise Tobirama Senju in his current state would really not be able to stop him.

Standing in the center of the field, Tobirama Senju looked intently at Haori and spoke with utmost seriousness.

"Wood Release is incredibly dangerous and powerful, especially the technique he told you about. You should be prepared to fail."

"Wait a minute, I remember there are a lot of simple Wood Release techniques, right?"

Haori stroked his chin and looked at Tobirama Senju strangely, asking a question.

"You didn't teach me those simple spells, but instead started by teaching me 'Birth of the Tree Realm.' Do you think that's appropriate?"

"How is that inappropriate? You're the Hokage!"

Tobirama Senju said nonchalantly, his arms crossed, calm and confident.

"As Hokage, don't you even have this much confidence? As Hokage, shouldn't you have raised your standards a bit beforehand?"

"They're always thinking about simple techniques. Can they even handle Madara Uchiha? Remember when Big Brother first used Wood Release: Advent of a World of Trees?"

I know nothing!

Yuzhi thought to herself with some dissatisfaction. How could he possibly know so much about the Warring States period? Besides, Kishimoto himself hadn't drawn it anymore.

Now you can say whatever you want, so how can I refute you?

Of course, Yuri also wondered if Tobirama Senju did this on purpose, since she had managed to break his guard a bit.

You broke down over such a small thing? Where is the composure of a Hokage?

Look at Danzo. Over the years, he's been attacked by the Third Hokage countless times, and he's used the phrase "You regret my shadow" so many times, yet he's still doing just fine.

Is it really necessary...?

Not only did Yuri think that the second generation was doing this on purpose, but the third generation and the others thought so too.

"Teacher...he's too impatient..."

The third generation didn't dare to look him in the eye; he could only manage an awkward laugh.

"Grandpa, really..."

Tsunade also pursed her lips, her eyes glancing at the calm and collected Hikaru beside her, and she suddenly became a little curious.

"Ying, aren't you worried about embarrassing your fiancé?"

"..."

I almost lost my composure when I heard that. What could be so embarrassing about this guy? He already knew that three years ago, okay?

Jiraiya didn't even know how powerful it was, so what's the point of asking this?

"I believe in him, he can do it."

Despite inwardly complaining, Hikaru calmly nodded.

"You're really confident. No wonder you're his fiancée; you're always thinking about him."

Upon hearing this, Tsunade pursed her lips, and then she teased him, while Hikaru responded directly.

"Isn't it only right to trust him? You said yourself, he's my fiancé."

Tsunade suddenly didn't want to say anything. She felt like she had been fed a mouthful of dog food for no reason. Even if she knew the two of them were being affectionate, could they please stop?

However, her expression didn't escape Jiraiya's notice, which immediately stirred up some new thoughts in him.

"Never mind. Never mind."

Just thinking about how he had been inexplicably punched by Tsunade at the hot spring resort last time, and ended up spending a week in the hospital, sent a chill down his spine.

"Alright, now that I've said all that, you should give it a try."

Senju Tobirama watched as Haori's eyelids twitched, and then he spoke without any politeness.

Don't let difficulties deter you.

"Alright, be quiet."

Unable to bear Tobirama Senju's rambling any longer, Hagoromo interrupted him without hesitation.

Since Tobirama Senju wanted to see it, Hagoromo felt there was no need to hide it from him, as he was extremely skilled in Wood Release.

Especially recently, he has undergone a new fusion, and even without using that new power, his control over Wood Release has made a huge leap.

Simply put, he can easily control the power of these Wood Release techniques, although his upper limit is still not up to the level of Hashirama Senju.

But it should be approaching the intensity used by Madara Uchiha, right?

With that in mind, Yu Zhi simply formed hand seals, but he deliberately slowed down the speed of the seals.

Since it's my first time using it, I can't show that I've learned too quickly or am too proficient.

"Wood Release: Advent of the Tree World!"

With a soft shout from Yuzhi, the grass on the training field trembled instantly.

Immediately afterwards, thick tree roots burst forth from the ground, quickly growing into towering trees that transformed the entire training ground into an ancient forest!

The vibrant trees swayed through the forest, the towering giants were awe-inspiring, and the unique Wood Release chakra was spreading wildly.

"How is this possible?"

The Third Hokage was so excited by what he saw that he actually broke the pipe in his hand in half!

Wood Release! This is Wood Release!

He restarted the Wood Release experiment led by Tobirama Senju, and after so much time and countless deaths, he still gained nothing.

As a result, now that Yugi has been injected with some of those white cells, he can actually use Wood Release to this extent.

Even though the Third Hokage didn't know Wood Release, he could clearly sense that this was many times stronger than the people they had captured who were currently undergoing training and 'brainwashing' at the Anbu center!

Tsunade, Kakashi, and Jiraiya all stared wide-eyed at that moment, completely bewildered as to what was going on.

"This…"

Moreover, Tobirama Senju involuntarily widened his eyes at this moment, and not only that, his mouth was also wide open.

He admitted that he did have some intentional revenge against Haori, but he also wanted to see where Haori's limits were.

Even though he still held hope for Yuzhi, the talent she displayed was simply too high and too strong.

Even Madara Uchiha at the same age as him didn't have his strength, otherwise this kid wouldn't have been able to become Hokage!

Even so, he didn't think the little guy could learn this powerful ninjutsu so quickly!

Are you kidding me!

If we're talking about the person who understands Wood Release the most, besides his older brother, it's probably him.

Besides witnessing and experiencing the power of Wood Release time and time again during his decades of war, he was also the first to experiment on his elder brother's remains!

It was because of this that he realized just how difficult Wood Release was to learn and how terrifying it was.

Even the solvent inside the haori was something he researched before having Tsunade inject it.

However, right before his eyes, Yuzhi effortlessly unleashed a powerful Wood Release technique after he had just recounted the story once.

That was the birth of the Tree World! That was the technique that could deal with Madara Uchiha back then! What's wrong with this world?

"What's wrong with you?"

Tobirama Senju stared blankly at the giant tree before him, then looked in astonishment at Uchiha, who was examining the Wood Release technique.

"How did you manage to use that?"

"Thank you for your guidance, Second Hokage."

Haori looked at Tobirama Senju, who suddenly smiled.

"Perhaps it's because the second generation taught me so well that I feel this technique is much simpler than I imagined."

As for how it was done, it's simply a matter of forming hand seals, channeling chakra, and then succeeding.

This is actually allowed?

Tobirama Senju was really losing his composure. If Wood Release was that simple, would it need to be so complicated to execute?

As for now, did so many people die before we achieved this result?

At that moment, everyone present, except for the light, probably had the same thought involuntarily pop into their heads.

"Could the haori really be the reincarnation of the First Hokage and Madara Uchiha?"

There was no way around it; the moment Hagoromo effortlessly unleashed Wood Release, many things had already changed!

Even though they found it unbelievable and strange, this guy really seemed to have inherited the power of Uchiha Madara and Senju Hashirama.

At this moment, Tobirama Senju felt an even stronger urge; he genuinely believed that this kid might very well be the reincarnation of his elder brother.

"Could it be that my older brother always treated the Uchiha clan kindly, so he was reincarnated as an Uchiha?"
