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

Sunagakure Village.

Fengying's office.

Luo Sha sat in the main seat, his eyes fixed on the intelligence scroll on the table.

The veins on the back of his hand bulged, and even his finger bones trembled slightly.

"The art of wooden figures?"

"A Buddha image on the top of the head?"

Luo Sha's voice was extremely dry.

It felt like I'd been thirsty in the desert for three days and three nights; my throat was practically burning.

Maki lowered his head, not daring to respond at all.

Granny Chiyo and Ebizo, who were sitting next to her, were also silent.

"Luo Sha".

For a long time.

Grandma Chiyo finally spoke, offering advice to Rasa.

"Withdraw all the spies from the border of the Land of Fire."

"The Senju clan has produced another unreasonable monster."

Ebizo sighed.

"Even that brute Raikage was knocked unconscious with a single slap."

"Our Sunagakure's resources are not enough to withstand the Fifth Hokage's meddling."

Luo Sha gritted his teeth.

His gold dust is powerful.

But against a Wood Release technique that spans several thousand meters, it probably wouldn't even be enough to tickle the opponent.

"Rescind the order!"

"All operations against Konoha are hereby terminated!"

"Not only that."

"Maki, go to the treasure vault and pick out a few decent gifts."

"Send it to Konoha in the name of Sunagakure."

"Let's say... we're celebrating the official inauguration of the Fifth Hokage."

Luo Sha slammed his fist on the table.

"Kazekage-sama."

"Our treasure vault... has long since run out of valuable items."

Maki's face was full of bitterness.

Sunagakure is truly poor.

Don't be fooled by the fact that they are one of the five great ninja villages.

However, their village's economic level has always been at the bottom.

"If you don't have money, go dig!"

"Let's go panning for gold!"

"Even if I have to sell my Wind Shadow Hat, I have to make sure this facade is perfect!"

"..."

……

The Land of Water.

Inside the Mizukage's office in Kirigakure.

The Fourth Mizukage, Yagura, held a piece of intelligence in his hand.

That seemingly childlike face remained completely expressionless.

Several ninjas were standing below.

Mei Terumi lowered her head slightly, concealing the shock in her beautiful eyes.

The Senju clan has made a strong comeback.

Chiba Senju's strength far exceeded everyone's expectations.

terrible!

terrible!

She weighed the options silently.

The Hidden Mist Village is now suffering greatly from the "Village of Blood Mist" policy, and its strength has plummeted to rock bottom.

If Kirigakure were to provoke Konoha at this time, they would be courting death.

Sudden.

Yagura spoke in a hoarse voice.

"Pass down the order."

"Those belonging to Kirigakure are strictly prohibited from approaching the waters of the Land of Fire."

"Anyone who dares to provoke the Leaf Village ninja will be executed on the spot for treason!"

Terumi Mei and the other members of the Dark Guard responded in unison.

After they left.

A scarlet three-tomoe pattern slowly appeared in Yagura's eyes.

……

An underground cave.

A colossal statue of a heretic stood tall.

Obito Uchiha, wearing a mask and a long black robe, stood in the shadow of the golem.

Black Zetsu slowly emerged from the rock wall beside him.

"Things have gotten complicated."

Black Jue's hoarse voice echoed in the empty cave.

"Senju Chiba".

"Where did this person come from?"

"For the previous sixteen years, he was like a ghost in Konoha!"

"Now, not only has he awakened Wood Release, but also..."

"Based on intelligence relayed back by White Zetsu from the edge of the battlefield."

"The power of the Crown Transformation Buddha he unleashed has surpassed that of Hashirama Senju back then."

Obito's face was distorted beneath the mask.

How is that possible?

A being like Hashirama Senju is a miracle to appear even once in the ninja world.

original.

Obito's plan was perfect.

The Nine-Tails' attack weakened Konoha and forced the Uchiha clan to be viewed with suspicion by the higher-ups.

He even planned to weaken the Uchiha clan in a few years.

Firstly, to collect Sharingan eyes.

Secondly, it could also destroy the foundation of Konoha.

But now.

Chiba Senju kicked over the entire chessboard.

They not only killed Danzo.

He even forced Hiruzen Sarutobi to abdicate.

The most critical thing is...

The Uchiha clan was surprisingly given important positions by Chiba, who took over the village's security and border patrols!

Now, Fugaku Uchiha stands tall and proud every day, showing no trace of the frustration of being forced into a corner.

Thinking about this...

Obito Uchiha felt like he was a clown.

the other side.

Black Zetsu also fell silent.

He has doubts about something.

Is Senju Chiba the reincarnation of Ashura?

I think so.

Only Ashura could unleash such a powerful Wood Release technique.

of course.

Regardless of whether he is or not.

It's best not to provoke Konoha these days.

……

Border of the Land of Fire.

Inside the temporary camp of Konoha.

The two wooden figures stepped into the camp gate.

Several Konoha ANBU members stared coldly at her.

In the center of the camp.

A huge wooden cage stood prominently.

Inside the cage.

Raikage Aina's imposing body was tightly bound by vines as thick as an arm.

The usually imposing Raikage was now bruised and battered, his armor stripped off completely.

next to.

Killer Bee, the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki, wasn't much better off.

The sunglasses were half broken.

Several thick tentacles hung limply on the ground, as if they had been drained of moisture.

Yugito's heart skipped a beat when he saw this.

The pride of the Hidden Clouds.

They were displayed like monkeys!

She walked quickly toward the tent in the very center of the camp.

Suddenly, the curtain was flung open.

Inside the tent.

Nara Shikaku was sitting leisurely in the main seat, holding a cup of hot tea in his hand.

Fugaku Uchiha stood next to Shikaku Nara, arms crossed.

Those crimson Sharingan eyes exuded a chilling sense of oppression.

"Nara Shikaku!"

"Don't push your luck, Konoha!"

"Release Lord Raikage and Killer Bee!"

"Otherwise, the Hidden Cloud Village will definitely wage war against you!"

The wooden figure stepped forward, its high heels leaving deep indentations on the ground.

Upon hearing this...

Nara Shikaku didn't even lift his eyelids.

He blew on the tea leaves in his cup and spoke calmly.

"Lord Yukito."

"Are you sure you're not mistaken about something?"

"It was you Cloud Village who sent people to steal things from our Leaf Village first."

"It's you Raikage again, leading your army to invade our borders."

"Now that you've been defeated, you still dare to threaten me?"

Yukito bit her lip, and a faint trace of blood seeped out.

She knew it very well.

This matter was indeed a conflict instigated by the Hidden Cloud Village.

But isn't Konoha's behavior a bit too arrogant?

"Enough with the nonsense."

"Just tell me, what will it take for you to release them?"

A moment later.

Yugito forcibly suppressed his anger and asked Nara Shikaku.

"Lord Yukito."

"We have already made the conditions very clear."

"Ten billion taels of cash."

"Plus the Lightning Release technique from Kumogakure."

"Payment received, people released."

Nara Shikaku smiled.

The fifth generation leader will cover for him.

When it comes to demanding compensation, one naturally has to ask for an exorbitant amount.

"impossible!"

Hearing what Nara Shikaku said.

Yukito was like a cat whose tail had been stepped on; it instantly bristled.

"Ten billion?"

"Why don't you just rob the daimyo's treasury!"

"Even if you sold everything in the Hidden Cloud Village, you still couldn't raise six billion taels!"

"As for the Lightning Release technique, that's the village's secret, and we would never entrust it to an outsider!"

Nara Shikaku smiled.

That smile, in Yukito's eyes, was more hateful than a demon.

"No money? No problem."

"Our Fifth Hokage is very reasonable."

Lu Jiu took out a map from his pocket and spread it out on the table.

His fingertip touched the map.

"Since we only have six billion taels in cash."

"Let's use these chakra mines to pay off the remaining four billion."
