Naruto: In Konoha Village, I awakened Wood Release at the start.

a few days later.

Deep underground in Konoha Village.

"Bang!"

The dull thud of a heavy object hitting the ground echoed through the empty, sealed room.

The Root ninja who had escaped knelt directly in front of Danzo.

"Lord Danzo..."

"Your subordinate is incompetent!"

Before Danzo could even ask a question.

Then B recounted the entire surveillance process that had been underway for the past month.

High-stakes gambling in casinos.

He got completely drunk in the tavern.

Then, when Tsunade was in a good mood, she would casually teach that Chiba brat some medical ninjutsu.

Finally, there was the sudden, unexpected eruption in the forest.

"Tsunade said..."

"If anyone dares to send people to follow her again, she will go straight back to the village and uproot them."

Report complete.

The entire secret room fell into a deathly silence.

Danzo sat upright on a high stone chair.

His only remaining eye was half-closed, and his fingers tapped lightly on the armrest.

"clatter."

"clatter."

"clatter."

This monotonous sound, falling into the ears of the ninja below, was like a death knell.

Danzo did not get angry.

Or rather, he simply didn't care whether the good-for-nothing on the ground lived or died.

He was thinking.

His old face, shrouded in gloom, was filled with sullenness and calculation.

"Did he lose his temper?"

Danzo snorted coldly.

The voice seemed to emanate from the deepest hell, chilling to the bone.

"She's still that spoiled princess after all."

In Danzo's view, Tsunade's outburst proved that she was outwardly strong but inwardly weak.

If she really did discover some core secret.

If that brat named Chiba really has some unspeakable secret.

Tsunade would never make such a big show of her anger; she would only quietly hide the person away.

"A useless person with hemophobia."

"With two useless burdens."

"Hmph! In the end, he's just a pathetic wretch wallowing in the past."

Danzo stopped tapping the armrest.

What about the granddaughter of the first generation?

Konoha now belongs to him and Hiruzen Sarutobi.

The Senju Clan?

It's just a faded term in a history book.

As for that commoner chunin named Chiba?

What kind of waves can an orphan whose parents are cannon fodder make?

Since Tsunade wants to take on a disciple, then let her.

Just consider it as giving her something to do, so she won't embarrass Konoha all the time.

"Drag him away."

Danzo casually waved his hand.

Two ninjas wearing animal masks suddenly emerged from the darkness and dragged Yi, who was kneeling on the ground, away.

soon.

The sealed room fell silent once more.

Danzo slowly stood up and walked to a huge map on the wall.

His single eye was fixed on a region in the center of the map.

That was the territory of the Uchiha clan.

"Compared to that stray dog..."

"These self-proclaimed superiors, these envious idiots, are the real threat!"

These past few months.

The atmosphere within the Uchiha clan is becoming increasingly strange.

The frequency of clan meetings is also increasing.

These guys with cursed blood are definitely plotting something!

"Pass down the order."

"Remove all those monitoring Tsunade."

"Relocate them all to the outskirts of the Uchiha clan's territory!"

"I will ensure that not even a fly can escape the Uchiha clan's territory!"

"..."

……

The sun rises and the moon sets.

The seasons change.

In the blink of an eye, more than a year has passed.

The last day of Konoha's 53th year.

On the border of the Land of Fire, there is a primeval forest rarely visited by humans.

Dark as ink.

A fierce wind swept through the forest, whipping up heavy snow.

A bonfire flickered deep inside the cave.

Tsunade, clutching the sake bottle, had already fallen into a deep sleep.

Silent, wrapped in a thick blanket, held a pink piglet in her arms and made soft snoring sounds.

Outside the cave.

Chiba sat on a towering boulder.

He wasn't wearing warm winter clothes.

Beneath the thin black ninja uniform, the muscles were smooth and full.

The strong wind tousled his black hair.

Chiba slowly opened her eyes, her pupils reflecting the swirling snow.

"system."

He was silent.

A semi-transparent light screen, visible only to him, unfolded before his eyes in an instant.

Name: Senju Chiba

[Chakra Level: Late Kage Level]

Physical Strength: Peak Kage Level

Chakra Properties: Water, Earth, Yang

[Bloodline Limit: Perfect Sage Body, Wood Release]

[Water Release: Great Waterfall Technique (Rank A), Water Dragon Bullet (Rank B), Water Wall (Rank B)...]

[Wood Release: Advent of a World of Trees (S-rank), Wood Human Technique (S-rank), Wood Dragon Technique (A-rank)...]

Special Ninjutsu: Summoning Jutsu, Super Strength, Palm Healing Technique...

Overall assessment: You are the new God of Ninjas!

Looking at the information on the light screen.

Chiba's lips curled up slightly, revealing a satisfied smile.

More than a year.

This hellish year!

Only he himself knows what he has been through.

Ever since that day when the rats at the root were dealt with.

Tsunade completely dropped her pretense.

She transforms into the most ruthless and cruel demon instructor.

There will be no more banter at the gambling table, and no more drunken revelry in the tavern.

There is only endless fighting and exploitation!

The first three months.

Tsunade completely sealed Chiba's ninjutsu.

He was only allowed to fight him using physical skills.

The monstrous strength of a Kage-level expert, each time it grazed someone's scalp, would create a deadly gust of wind.

Chiba had his ribs broken and his internal organs bleeding.

On one occasion, he almost had his lung punctured by a punch from Tsunade.

But so what?

Each time I was on the verge of death.

Chiba's novice immortal body would operate wildly.

Its immense vitality forcefully repaired his damaged body.

Add to that Tsunade's superb medical ninjutsu.

Often at dawn the next day.

Chiba will then reappear unharmed, standing before Tsunade once more.

During that inhuman torture.

Shizune often secretly wipes away her tears when Tsunade is away.

She even cried and begged Tsunade to stop several times, fearing that Chiba would be beaten to death.

But Tsunade just kept a cold face.

The way she looked at Chiba was like looking at a piece of unpolished jade that needed to be refined and polished.

Because she discovered it in horror.

This boy's growth rate is simply beyond human comprehension!

With each beating he takes, he evolves.

Those clumsy physical techniques became concise, deadly, and flawless at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Tsunade attributed all of this to the terrifying talent of the Senju clan.

however.

This was actually Chiba's god-like comprehension unleashed.

Any complex combat techniques.

Any subtle method of chakra manipulation.

In Chiba's mind, they would all be instantly broken down into the most basic code.

Three months later.

Physical training has ended.

Chiba began ninjutsu training.

That day, Chiba stood in front of the waterfall.

I only heard Tsunade explain the principle once.

Chiba then formed hand seals and unleashed a brand new ninjutsu.

"Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet!"

A deep blue water dragon, tens of meters long, rises from the ground, cutting the entire waterfall in half!

that moment.

Tsunade's gaze towards Chiba had completely changed.

What started as seeing a promising stock has turned into seeing a monster!

Then came the most crucial Wood Release training.

When Chiba first summoned a forest that blotted out the sky in front of Tsunade.

This legendary Sannin, who had seen countless life and death, trembled with fear.

She drank all three bottles of sake on the spot.

He was crying and laughing at the same time, as if he had gone mad.

The Senju clan is truly saved!

She imparted all the Wood Release ninjutsu from her memory to Chiba without reservation.

The Tree Kingdom is born!

The Art of Wooden Dragons!

Even the Wooden Golem Technique, which is powerful enough to withstand the Tailed Beasts!

Chiba was like a dried-up sponge, frantically absorbing this knowledge of Wood Release.

Of course.

What truly brought about a qualitative change in Chiba was the sign-in event at the beginning of this year.

System reward – [Perfect Immortal Body]!

That is an ultimate physique that is even purer and more domineering than that of Hashirama Senju.

The night of merging with the perfect immortal body.

Chiba was writhing in pain in the mud, blood seeping from every pore of his body.

The old cells were torn apart.

New cells are rapidly recombining.

His bone density increased dramatically, and his muscle fibers became tougher than steel wire.

What's most terrifying is his chakra.

The chakra, which was originally as vast as a lake, was transformed into a boundless ocean with the blessing of the perfect Sage Body!

Boundless!

Live endlessly!

The amount of chakra at the late stage of the Kage level.

Combined with a terrifying physical body at the peak of the Shadow level.

This allowed him to use S-rank Wood Release without any hesitation.

No complicated hand seals are required.

Often, with a simple clap of the hands, whatever you want will come to you!
