Naruto: Who made him a ninja

Chapter 76 Wood Release: Advent of the Tree World (Please continue reading)

Hidezawa wasn't that concerned about what Uchiha Shisui was really thinking.

As for whether he might turn around and expose himself, such as by going and chatting with the Third Hokage, he wasn't worried about that at all.

Uchiha Shisui didn't say anything himself; it was Hidezawa who covered for him, which already showed that he was already on guard.

If he goes to complain now, it won't be Xiuze who suffers, but himself!

"I am a true member of Konoha, after all. My Wood Release and Flying Thunder God Technique are far superior to what you, a mere Uchiha, can achieve!"

Sometimes, the so-called "Konoha orthodoxy" does have some use; at least in name, it is more popular.

As for the Uchiha, the "son of a villain," who was also "corrupted" by Danzo and Junyu, it goes without saying who was unlucky.

"I just don't know how things went with putting poison on Danzo."

Hidezawa thought to himself, he had been working hard to find some fun for Danzo so that his boss could "enjoy his retirement" in the future.

In the days that followed, Xiuze felt quite bored. Every day he would either pretend to study or drag Xiyan around and make her blush.

Overall, he settled down and behaved himself.

After all, his physical fitness has improved quite a bit this time, and he needs to adapt to his body properly.

In addition, he also needs to carefully study and think about the remaining power of the dragon veins sealed in his body.

"Even though it's sealed, these powers are really strange. They can actually regenerate on their own. How come they're so much like tailed beasts?"

The chakra of the dragon vein was truly unbelievable to Xiuze. In his memory, the power of self-regeneration seemed to be something only tailed beasts could do.

Just like the Nine-Tails, its chakra is truly heaven-defying.

Even though it was split in half, it could still maintain its self-awareness, and even a wisp of chakra collected by someone could regenerate itself and seemingly create a new tailed beast!

Of course, what was created was probably just an empty shell; the true consciousness remained within the bodies of the Fourth Hokage and Naruto Uzumaki.

But this is scary enough. Perhaps when the Nine-Tails' consciousness dissipates within Naruto or Minato Namikaze, that consciousness will spontaneously descend upon this empty shell.

"Fortunately, the dragon vein has no consciousness, only instinctive wildness, which makes it easy for me to accumulate and use it later, but I also need to find a way to consume some of it first."

Shuzawa's sealing technique is still at level 5. Ever since he broke Danzo's curse seal, he hasn't paid much attention to it anymore. As long as it's enough, it's fine.

This also makes him somewhat troubled when dealing with things like dragon veins, as it would be problematic if such a large amount of chakra were to be sealed.

Therefore, it becomes quite necessary to occasionally expend some of the resources or add points to the sealing technique.

"After all, for me, as long as my level is high enough, learning some spells is incredibly easy."

And so, time passed little by little, and about a month flew by.

Early in the morning, just as Hidezawa was about to continue searching for Yugao, Hiruzen Sarutobi suddenly found him and took him to a training ground.

"Xiuze-kun, how have you been these past few days?"

The moment they met, a smile appeared on Hiruzen Sarutobi's wrinkled face.

However, anyone could see that his smile seemed somewhat forced.

"Fortunately, I have Kakashi, Shisui, and Yugao as my seniors to keep me company while I study hard, so I have a fulfilling life."

Xiuze nodded. Although it was a bit boring with no tasks to do, having Xiyan wasn't a bad thing.

"Yeah."

Hiruzen Sarutobi pursed his lips. "The last Yugao is the most important thing to you, isn't it?"

Although he visited the Dark Division less frequently during this period, it doesn't mean he was unaware of the situation there!

The secret service was his private territory.

He knew what kind of guy Xiuze was in the Dark Division, and he didn't object to these kinds of romantic relationships.

Even if they were a little younger, it didn't matter; there were plenty of people even younger than that during the Warring States period.

But the key point is that Xiuze doesn't seem to realize his own importance at all?

This kid has mastered the Flying Thunder God Technique and even awakened Wood Release on his own!

Besides the matter of Xiuzawa causing him immense headaches, there was another thing that was also irritating him: the Uchiha clan.

After Shisui Uchiha awakened his Mangekyou Sharingan, he chose to stay with the Anbu, which displeased the Uchiha group, and they really annoyed him during this time.

Moreover, there seems to be some unrest brewing within their family as well.

Clearly, both Obito Uchiha and Shisui Uchiha have ignited the most inexcusable thing in this clan!

And then there's his old classmate Danzo; that guy's started up to his old tricks again.

"I've come today to tell you some good news."

With a sigh, Hiruzen Sarutobi shook his head, no longer wanting to think about these things. He looked earnestly at Hidezawa and said...

"But before I tell you this news, I want to test you to see if you have been working hard during this time. I hope you understand."

You are the future of Konoha. Whether it's the Flying Thunder God Technique or Wood Release, these are incredibly important things.

"Forehead"

Xiuze scratched his head, but he still nodded.

"I understand, Hokage-sama. What do you intend to test me on today?"

"Come with me."

The latest novel is first published here!

Hiruzen Sarutobi pointed to the area in front of him.

"I want to test your Wood Release ability, although it will be a bit harsh, since you've only been learning it for a month."

But Wood Release is so important to us, I hope you can work even harder, Hidezawa-kun.

Upon hearing this, Hidezawa blinked, thinking that Hiruzen Sarutobi wanted to have a personal spar with him.

So, this is what the entrance exam is like?

Of course, he understood what Hiruzen Sarutobi was saying. He realized that he had been caught slacking off recently, which had displeased the Third Hokage.

I'm planning to use this method to give him a little nudge so he won't slack off too much.

"How about this, if you behave well, I can consider granting you one reasonable request."

Seeing that Hidezawa didn't move, Hiruzen Sarutobi thought for a moment and decided to speak up.

"Thank you, Hokage-sama. But Hokage-sama, what is the good news you mentioned?"

Xiuze nodded, and then he began to awkwardly form hand seals, asking questions as he did so.

Seeing this, Hiruzen Sarutobi's lips twitched slightly. "You can't even form hand seals properly. Just how badly have you been slacking off?"

However, he didn't say anything in the end. After thinking for a moment, he deliberately said something encouraging.

"We've already got news of Tsunade. I was originally planning to have you try to bring her back, but it might be difficult if you don't meet the requirements."

Tsunade?

Xiuze blinked; he was extremely interested in this!

Before Hiruzen Sarutobi could finish speaking, Hidezawa suddenly clenched his hands, and his chakra surged.

"Wood Release: Advent of the Tree World!"

The grass on the training field trembled!

Thick tree roots suddenly burst out of the ground, and the roots grew rapidly, with vines intertwining with each other. Before long, giant trees appeared in front of them!

"This…"

Hiruzen Sarutobi involuntarily widened his eyes. What was going on?

Wasn't this kid slacking off before?

Are you kidding me!

"Lord Hokage."

Shuzawa suddenly turned his head and looked at Hiruzen Sarutobi with sincerity.

"I think I've met the requirements, right?"

"."

For a moment, Hiruzen Sarutobi really wanted to slap himself.
