Gurgle! The White Zetsu retreated back into the ground, and a few seconds later, it emerged from where the White Zetsu army was standing, then looked at Lin Yu.

*Snap!* Lin Yu clasped his hands together in front of his chest, forming the '巳' seal.

—Wood Release: Advent of the Tree World!

Chapter 39 Carrying on the Past and Ushering in the Future!

boom!

The earth shook, the soil cracked, and countless trees sprang up from the ground, quickly growing into towering giants. In an instant, this boundless plain was transformed into a sea of ​​forests!

Looking closely at those big trees, their branches are lush and their leaves are verdant, as if they have absorbed nutrients from the earth and grown over decades or even centuries!

The tree canopies at the top meet and block out the sun, while the shadows at the bottom overlap without any gaps!

If there's one blank spot, it's the place where Lin Yu stands!

Perhaps it was because Lin Yu's aura was too strong, but all the trees bent slightly towards Lin Yu, as if worshipping the creator who gave them life!

How can I describe this scene? After much thought, I can only come up with four words—unparalleled in the world!

In the distance, those fortunate enough to witness this grand occasion were filled with restless emotions.

"Oh~~! It's here! The First Hokage's divine technique to quell the chaos of the world!!" The White Zetsu, some standing, some sitting, and some half-embedded in the soil, whistled and made a ruckus. These products, which originated from Kaguya's Infinite Tsukuyomi Divine Tree, had lived for nearly a thousand years thanks to the blessing of a trace of Hashirama's power, but they could not help but be impressed by the magnificent power of that force!

"Is this the level of a sage? It's on a completely different level from the ninjas of later generations!" The young female ninja, Uzuki Yuhi, exclaimed in genuine awe.

"Long live! Long live!" Afei danced with joy, seemingly turning back into his usual goofy self, but no one knew what he was thinking: It seems that from this moment on, Yu really doesn't need my protection anymore...

"So beautiful..." Orochimaru was probably the most moved among them, and two lines of tears of emotion rolled down his cheeks: "The legend of the First Hokage, Hashirama Senju, has finally been recreated in Yu-kun thanks to my efforts!"

In a clearing in the forest, Lin Yu lowered his hands, which had been forming hand seals. Gazing at the myriad phenomena he had created with his own hands, he exclaimed joyfully, "My goal has finally taken its first step..."

Yes, the first step!

The dual-Shenwei configuration was the initial setup and is not included in this count.

Hashirama's physical body and Wood Release power were just the beginning.

It is one of the essential elements that Lin Yu must obtain to awaken the Rinnegan!

The next element...

That is the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan!

Lin Yu was still unsure... whether obtaining Hashirama's body and the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan would allow him to awaken the Rinnegan, but without awakening the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan, he would certainly be unable to awaken the Rinnegan—that was certain!

In addition, there is the power of Sage Mode and the power of the Ten-Tails.

He will gradually gather the elements that constitute the power of the Sage of Six Paths, Hagoromo Otsutsuki, and recreate the legend of the founder of the Ninja School!

But is the power of the Six Paths the end?

Not at all! The progenitor of the Hyuga clan, the younger brother of the Sage of Six Paths—Hamura Otsutsuki, created the Moon Otsutsuki lineage, which possesses the power of the Byakugan and the Tenseigan. How could Lin Yu, a perfectionist, ignore this!

He wants it too!

Only in this way can we obtain power that is close to that of the 'Mother of Chakra', Kaguya Otsutsuki!

Yes... Kaguya!

Throughout history, she has been a god who can only be sealed away, not killed. Lin Yu will eventually destroy her and transform her into a true Otsutsuki!

The "Wedge" is another mysterious power that was only revealed in the post-Naruto era of Boruto, and its existence is no less powerful than the Rinnegan.

—The fact that those who kill gods are no longer mortals. This is what is meant by the 'wedge'.

That is the 'Godslayer Contract' that can only be obtained by killing a god from beyond the heavens—a member of the Otsutsuki main family. The person who possesses it will seize all the power of the god he killed and transform into a true Otsutsuki!

Lin Yu needs to obtain the 'Karma' from Kaguya Otsutsuki so that he will have the qualifications to challenge the Otsutsuki clan!

Lin Yu's vision and ambition extend far beyond the small ninja world! Even now, he doesn't know the location of the Otsutsuki clan's home planet, nor how to reach it! But one day, Lin Yu will reach that place with his own strength and challenge the Otsutsuki clan!

Defeat those members of the Otsutsuki main family who are even stronger than Kaguya, and even defeat the one who can lead this divine race—the 'Otsutsuki clan leader'!

The task is arduous and the road ahead is long.

With this thought, Lin Yu snapped out of his elation at gaining Hashirama's power. He turned and walked out of the forest, standing before Orochimaru: "Orochimaru, come with me. The next plan is about to begin..."

Orochimaru chuckled, "Yu-kun, I'd be happy to oblige. But before that, could I get some sleep? I haven't slept in almost two months..."

Upon hearing this, Lin Yu looked at Orochimaru's thick eye bags and dark circles, and surprisingly felt a little embarrassed.

Yes, Orochimaru originally had his own business, but he was poached by Orochimaru to be his employee. Now, not only has Orochimaru become a rogue ninja of Konoha, but even his little fanboy Kabuto has lost his life. Indeed, it's not unreasonable for him to ask for unpaid leave, is it?

So Lin Yu nodded and said, "It's deep winter now, and snakes do hibernate. Alright, you should get some sleep and recharge before we talk... But I think by the time you wake up, the ninja world will have been turned upside down."

"Oh dear, I'm really, really looking forward to it..." Orochimaru said, his eyes already closed. He fell asleep standing there, clearly exhausted...

"Ze, take Mr. Orochimaru to rest. Remember to be quiet and don't wake him..." Lin Yu instructed Bai Ze.

Two White Zetsu stepped forward and hoisted Orochimaru's precious body onto their shoulders: "Look how soundly this guy is sleeping, he probably wouldn't wake up even if you kicked him twice."

"Then one must not be rude."

To achieve Lin Yu's goal, Orochimaru, who possesses the core technology of this Naruto world, is indispensable!

"Great, it's finally finished. I haven't been sleeping well these past few days..."

As the sun sets, the moonlight nestles in Lin Yu's embrace.

"I'm sorry to have worried you." Lin Yu put his arm around Maoyue Xiyang's shoulder.

A strange sound suddenly rang out.

Uzuki Yuki blushed: Could it be my stomach growling? But then she realized she had just eaten and wasn't hungry, so she looked at Lin Yu, who was also looking at his stomach.

Lin Yu hadn't experienced this feeling of intestinal peristalsis, this craving for food, for a long time; it felt completely unfamiliar to him.

"Are you hungry?" asked Uzuki Yuhi.

"Hmm, I am a little hungry. This body really feels more like a living person now..." Lin Yu said.

"Let's find something to eat... This can be considered our first date." Uzuki Yuhi rubbed a strand of purple hair at her temple, her face flushed by the sunset.

"Okay, then let's go to... Konoha."

Chapter 40: The Trip to Konoha!

Without hesitation, Lin Yu, accompanied by Uzuki Yuhi, used Kamui to arrive at Konoha Village in the blink of an eye.

Of course, given their sensitive identities, these two individuals couldn't appear openly; they both wore masks.

Familiar Hokage Rock, familiar buildings, bustling crowds... Uzuki Yuki, revisiting this familiar place, couldn't help but feel a mix of emotions.

After all, this was her hometown where she grew up. Although she had severed ties with the village because of Lin Yu, her younger sister, Uzuki Yugao, was still there.

Lin Yu knew this, which is why he brought Xiyang to Konoha.

After buying some dumplings at the dumpling shop, Lin Yu asked Xi Yang, "Are you going to see your sister?"

Maoyue Xiyang paused, then looked at Lin Yu: "Is it alright?"

"Of course I can. You've already given up the village for me, so how could I let you give up your sister too?" Lin Yu said with a faint smile.

"Thank you, Yu," said Uzuki Yuhi, moved.

At the Konoha Ninja Academy, 9-year-old Uzuki Yugao is attending school, and it is currently dismissal time.

Lin Yu and Uzuki Yuhi were observing from the shadows when they witnessed a heartbreaking scene!

At the school gate, Uzuki Yugao was surrounded by a group of male classmates.

The boy in the lead tossed a pebble in his hand and looked at Uzuki Yugao in front of him, saying, "This is the girl. Her older sister is a rogue ninja, the murderer who killed her comrades! This girl is the traitor's sister!"

Upon hearing this, young Yugao lowered her head.

"Murder, a comrade?" Uzuki Yuhi couldn't help but look at Lin Yu.

"Oh, those two men you had in the Dark Division? It was Bai Jue who told me about them afterward. Not long after we left, the Root people arrived at that place, killed them, and incidentally pinned the blame on you," Lin Yu said truthfully.

"Root, Danzo!!" Uzuki Yuhi gritted his teeth.

"This is their usual style, isn't it? They claim it's for the sake of the village, a necessary sacrifice..." Lin Yu said coldly.

"I really don't understand why the school doesn't expel this guy. Anyway, a traitor's sister will definitely be a traitor in the future. I don't want to be killed by her while I'm on a mission!" The boy threw the pebble in his hand at Uzuki Yugao.

Uzuki Yugao didn't dodge, and a bruise appeared on her forehead from the impact.

"Get out of the ninja academy, you traitor's sister!" The other children chimed in, throwing stones at Uzuki Yugao.

"You bastard!" Uzuki Yuhi clenched her fists and was about to go over to protect her bullied younger sister.

But Lin Yu pressed down on her shoulder, signaling her to wait a moment.

"Stop it!!"

Suddenly, a boy rushed over and started fighting with the other boys.

"Moonlight Gale, why are you meddling in other people's business? Are you trying to protect the traitor's sister?!"

"It's not Yugao's fault! Why are you taking your anger out on her?!" Gekko Hayate defended Uzuki Yugao, but was quickly beaten down by the group of children.

"This is not the place for you to fight! Stop it now!" The commotion grew louder, and only then did the teachers from the ninja academy come out to stop it.

The children who started the fight left dejectedly, giving Uzuki Yugao a disdainful look before they left, and spitting on the ground.

Seeing this, the teachers at the ninja academy didn't seem to care, and even looked at Uzuki Yugao with a strange expression.

On the way back, Uzuki Yugao sadly wiped away her tears: "I don't believe my sister would betray the village, I don't believe my sister would betray her comrades! My sister must have had a reason!"

Moonlight Gale handed her a handkerchief and said gently, "Xiyan, don't listen to their nonsense. No matter what happens, I will protect you..."

Lin Yu thought to himself: Oh, I really didn't realize that the sickly Moonlight Gale was such a smooth talker since childhood. No wonder Xi Yan is so infatuated with him now that she's grown up...

The expression on Maoyue Xiyang's face was heartbreaking.

Lin Yu said reassuringly, "Don't worry, Xiyang. Your sister is also family to me. I promise you, I will give her a place to stay in the near future..."

Uzuki Yugao nodded; she had no reason to refuse… In Konoha’s current environment, there was indeed no place for Uzuki Yugao to stay.

Looking at Xi Yan's plight, Lin Yu couldn't help but think of Naruto when he was a child...

Naruto grew up to become a hero who saved Konoha, earning the respect of the village's ninjas and villagers. But was it truly Naruto's ninja way that moved everyone?
