Rebuild the Land of Whirlpools, start with a massive army of the Thirteen Guardian Soldiers.

"Mu, mu escape?"

Someone trembled and murmured in disbelief.

"Is it really the First Hokage's Wood Release?!"

The impact of the Wood Release manifesting in the world was so immense that they were unable to recover for a long time.

Even Koharu Utatane and Homura Mitokado were startled. They exchanged a glance, and both could see the shock in each other's eyes!

"How is this possible? How could Wood Release be used at this time!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi clenched his fists, his eyes filled with undisguised horror.

Having witnessed the power of the First Hokage's Wood Release firsthand, he knew all too well the strength of Wood Release!

Even after Wood Release disappeared and he became the Third Hokage, he still organized experiments on the Wood Release Awakening Plan!

Unfortunately, the cells of the first generation were too powerful, and no one could match them. All the people who participated in the experiment became like wooden blocks.

Even members of the Senju clan are no exception!

But now, a living Wood Release user has reappeared before his eyes, how could he not be shocked!

And this person who uses Wood Release is actually the grandson of the First Hokage!

Ok……

It seems quite reasonable that the First Hokage's grandson awakened Wood Release.

A feeling of regret flashed through Hiruzen Sarutobi's mind.

Why didn't he think of having the direct bloodline of the First Lord conduct experiments back then?

If we had had this idea back then, Konoha might already have a Wood Release user by now!

The results are better now.

Good news! Someone from the Senju clan has finally awakened the First Hokage's Wood Release!

Bad news: Senju Nawaki, who has awakened Wood Release, has become an enemy of Konoha!

What kind of situation is this?

Chapter 59 Nine-Tailed Fox: Among those swords, there are beings similar to me!

The regret in Hiruzen Sarutobi's eyes grew even stronger.

He didn't regret not protecting Senju Nawaki, but rather regretted not sending Senju Nawaki to the experimental table when he conducted the first generation of adult cell transplantation experiments!

Otherwise, how could Konoha, having regained its Wood Release, have been entangled in a war with Sunagakure until now?

However, now that Senju Nawaki has become a member of the Land of Whirlpools, he has even stood on the opposite side of Konoha, looking like he wants to teach Konoha a lesson.

At this point, it's probably too late to do anything.

However, Hiruzen Sarutobi subtly glanced at Tsunade.

Since the First Hokage's grandson was able to awaken Wood Release, there's no reason why the First Hokage's granddaughter couldn't awaken Wood Release as well.

After this matter is over, I'll discuss it with Tsunade and ask her to take the initiative to conduct the experiment of transplanting the First Hokage's cells.

Even though Tsunade has become increasingly rebellious lately, Hiruzen Sarutobi believes that as long as he appeals to her emotions and reason with her, she will understand him.

(9) After all, Tsunade wouldn't want to see Konoha, founded by the First Hokage, become more and more desolate, would she?

Hiruzen felt a surge of excitement, as if he could once again see Konoha dominating the ninja world with its Wood Release.

He stared intently at Senju Nawaki, his heart burning with desire.

However, at the same time, he did not forget why Senju Nawaki was able to awaken Wood Release!

The Zanpakuto of the Land of Whirlpools!

When Sanming was in Konoha, Senju Nawaki showed no signs of awakening Wood Release.

(3) As a result, he went to the Land of Whirlpools and, guided by that sword, was able to awaken the power of Wood Release!

Hiruzen Sarutobi did not believe that the Land of Whirlpools also possessed the First Hokage's cells and was capable of conducting transplantation experiments with the First Hokage's cells.

(5) In other words, the Zanpakuto of the Land of Whirlpools is even more terrifying than they imagined!

Not only does it possess various magical powers, it can even guide users to awaken the power hidden within their bloodline!

This knife is getting more and more tempting...

Once this matter is over, the plan to send Konoha students to the Land of Whirlpools must be implemented without delay!

We absolutely must obtain the forging technology for Zanpakuto from the Land of Whirlpools!

Orochimaru stared intently at the changes in Senju Nawaki, licking his lips and his eyes filled with fervor.

"The First Master's Wood Release..."

As the leader of the initial interstitial cell transplantation experiment, he witnessed firsthand the terrifying phagocytic nature of interstitial cells!

Once the interstitial cells are transplanted, the experimental subject will turn into a lifeless piece of wood within just a few minutes.

This demonstrates the terrifying power of Wood Release!

Now, this terrifying Wood Release technique has finally reappeared in Konoha.

This time, however, Wood Release has become Konoha's enemy!

Of course, Orochimaru didn't care about that; what he really cared about was the Zanpakuto in Nawaki's hand.

The way this knife exists is perhaps even more terrifying than 250 imagined.

It was because I went to the Land of Whirlpools and witnessed too much of the truth about the Land of Whirlpools that I learned this lesson.

Orochimaru would then become increasingly aware of the mystery surrounding Zanpakuto.

The sword that Rope Tree possessed, which resembled a Wood Release weapon, further fueled his speculations.

Even though the rope tree in front of me has become a spirit, how can I awaken the power of Wood Release through my Zanpakuto?

unless……

Zanpakuto possess the ability to materialize the power hidden deep within the soul!

This guess made Orochimaru's heart race; he felt he was getting closer and closer to the truth about the Grim Reaper!

His eyes swept over the numerous Shinigami from the Land of Whirlpools, matching the information in the Konoha intelligence report.

Fire-type Zanpakuto, ice-type Zanpakuto, Zanpakuto that can extend and retract freely, Zanpakuto that are so fast they are invisible to the naked eye, Zanpakuto with the ability to grow to enormous size, and so on...

These abilities are all different, and what's even more amazing is that no two abilities are the same!

"It's so addictive..."

Orochimaru's golden pupils flickered slightly.

Everything in the Land of Whirlpools is so addictive.

It was as if a mysterious and bottomless abyss was drawing him in, making him unable to resist falling!

He will go to the Land of Whirlpools sooner or later!

The truth about death, the mystery of the soul...

His eyes lit up; he was determined to become the director of the Technology Development Bureau of the Land of Whirlpools!

The appearance of Wood Release brought immense shock to everyone in Konoha.

They seemed to see the figure of the first master in the Thousand Hands Nawaki.

Surprisingly, on the Hokage Rock in Konoha, the First Hokage's eyes also seemed to be looking in the direction of the Senju Nawaki.

Among the crowd, the most shocked was probably Tsunade. ⑨

She bit her lip, her eyes filled with shock, surprise, and joy as she looked at Rope Tree!

My eyes seemed to suddenly and uncontrollably well up with tears. (8)

She knew all too well the importance of Konoha to the Senju clan. (II)

That's right, not Konoha, but the Senju! (泤)

Since the passing of Grandpa and Second Grandpa, the decline of the Senju clan seemed to have been accelerated.

Since Hiruzen Sarutobi took over, the once-great Senju clan now consists of only Mito, Nawaki, and a handful of servants.

The Senju clan seemed to have vanished from Konoha almost overnight.

The once glorious family has lost its former splendor. (5)

She also hated herself for not inheriting her grandfather's bloodline limit, Wood Release, so that their Senju clan could continue and even restore the glory of her grandfather's generation!

Unfortunately, since his grandfather passed away, not a single person in the large family has been able to awaken Wood Release.

Gradually, the Senju clan faded from the stage of Konoha.

With the death of Senju Nawaki, he completely lost his qualification to continue on stage.

She gradually became disheartened and stopped paying attention to things in Konoha.

Fortunately, today, Rope Tree stood in front of her again, completely unharmed!

He even grew taller and learned a lot of skills, and now he dares to hit his older sister hard.
