Konoha: Intentionally losing to Hinata at the start

He had almost no interaction with Kurama (the Nine-Tails).

Yu Ming was taken aback. "Ashura? The son of the Sage of Six Paths? I don't know that. I only know from historical records that the First Hokage's Wood Release was very powerful, and he almost killed you and Madara Uchiha back then."

Of course, Yu Ming knew what was going on, but it would be too suspicious if he knew everything.

However, Yu Ming's words made Kurama somewhat unhappy: "What do you mean that Madara Uchiha and I were almost killed? No one would have a good outcome if they faced the First Hokage's ninjutsu."

Yu Ming laughed and said, "That's right. The True Thousand Hands technique is over a thousand meters long. Even if Madara Uchiha's Susanoo were to cover it, it wouldn't be able to stop it."

Although Nine-Tailed Fox didn't want to admit it, Yu Ming clearly knew what had happened back then, so there was no need for him to argue.

Yu Ming smiled and said, "Actually, I've always wanted to know what the First Hokage's True Several Thousand Hands technique is like."

Nine-Tails looked at Yu Ming and teased, "Then you need to have Wood Release first before you can try it."

"As far as I know, the people in Konoha who know Wood Release now... wait, I remember you used Myojinmon last time in the Land of Wind, right?"

"Holy crap, you actually know Wood Release?"

Nine-Tails remembered that he was completely stunned by Yu Ming's Myojinmon move back then, and was even knocked unconscious for a long time afterward. Now that he thought about it, this guy just knows Wood Release, right?

Nine-Tails' lips twitched slightly as she looked at Yu Ming. "You know Wood Release. Back then, you only needed to use Wood Dragon Technique to suppress me. I don't believe that with your chakra reserves and your ability to access the Senju clan's secrets at any time, you wouldn't have mastered this ninjutsu. You even know Myojinmon."

Nine-Tailed Fox still feels lingering fear when she thinks about it now. If Yu Ming had used a True Thousand Hands on her back then, it would have been a tragedy.

It's estimated that it would probably be killed outright.

Yu Ming smiled and said, "How could I possibly use Wood Release in front of so many people? Using Myojinmon is already pretty good. Actually, if there weren't many people around, I would have even wanted to try out what it feels like to use True Several Thousand Hands. After learning it, I haven't used it yet, which is really a bit of a shame."

Hearing Yu Ming's words, Nine-Tails was speechless. "Aren't you a bit too terrifying? And why do you know Wood Release? Are you also a descendant of the Sage of Six Paths?"

That's all we can guess about Nine-Tails. Theoretically, Wood Release is a bloodline limit created by the fusion of Water Release and Earth Release.

But that's only in theory. Wood Release is so powerful, yet there's only been one Yamato-kai in all those years, which is enough to illustrate the point.

Furthermore, Yamato was able to use Wood Release because he had the cells of the First Hokage; it was an innate bloodline limit, not something he synthesized himself.

Therefore, Kurama never believed that one person could synthesize Wood Release by simply combining materials, especially Wood Release at the level of Hashirama Senju.

Although Yamato mastered Wood Release, he was unable to use many of Hashirama Senju's Wood Release techniques, as they required not only a massive amount of chakra but also a body capable of supporting them.

Chapter 256 Nine-Tailed Fox Talks About Ten-Tailed Fox

Most importantly, it also requires the ultimate Yang Release chakra.

This is precisely what Dahe lacks.

While Wood Release appears to be a bloodline limit, it is actually a bloodline elimination technique, because true Wood Release requires the fusion of Water, Earth, and Yang chakra.

Furthermore, the Yang Escape technique must be the ultimate form of Yang Escape; ordinary ones are not acceptable.

Secondly, there's the enormous amount of chakra, which is what shuts Yamato down.

In fact, Yamato's chakra reserves are not small. You can tell this by looking at his use of Earth Release and Water Release, both of which are extremely large.

However, his chakra reserves are indeed insufficient to support the use of large-scale Wood Release ninjutsu.

However, his chakra reserves are definitely among the highest of elite Jonin.

Yamato even has more chakra than Kakashi. If Kakashi didn't have the Sharingan to consume chakra, his chakra would be considered very high even among elite Jonin, but Yamato has more chakra than him.

Therefore, without inheriting the bloodline of the Sage of Six Paths, it would be impossible to develop Wood Release.

Moreover, in the more than a thousand years of the ninja world, only one Ashura and one Senju Hashirama have emerged.

Yamato is a copy of Hashirama Senju.

Why does Yu Ming know this?

Unless he possesses the bloodline of the Sage of Six Paths, it's simply impossible.

At least Nine-Tails doesn't think it's possible.

Yu Ming looked at the Nine-Tails and said calmly, "Actually, it's not necessary to be a descendant of the Sage of Six Paths to learn Wood Release. Do you know where my Wood Release came from?"

"I synthesized it myself when I was eleven years old using the method of synthesizing bloodline limits. I was born without a Wood Release bloodline limit, but synthesizing this Wood Release was indeed very dangerous. I almost died when I was preparing to synthesize it."

Nine-Tails was completely stunned by Yu Ming's words. "Impossible! You want to synthesize Wood Release without the bloodline of the Sage of Six Paths? Are you kidding me?"

Kurama (the Nine-Tails) knows exactly what Wood Release is.

It could even be said that Wood Release was originally just a derivative of the Divine Tree.

Yu Ming smiled and said, "What's impossible? Aren't I an example? I'm neither a descendant of the Uzumaki clan, nor a descendant of the Senju clan, nor a descendant of the Uchiha clan, but I still mastered Wood Release."

"Actually, to synthesize Wood Release, you only need to have both Water and Earth Release chakra, plus the ultimate Yang Release chakra."

However, Nine-Tails perceived these words as somewhat boastful.

"You really don't know where Wood Release comes from. Wood Release isn't something you can achieve simply by combining the water and earth attributes with the Yang attribute. You also need a Sage Body to use it. For example, the ninja in your Konoha who can use Wood Release wouldn't be able to use it at all if he didn't have the cells of the First Hokage."

"So you must possess a Sage Body, otherwise, where would you get such a massive amount of chakra?"

Yu Ming laughed and said, "Let's not discuss this issue anymore. Don't tell Naruto that I know Wood Release. If you tell him, do you believe that he'll make the whole ninja world know about it in a while?"

Kurama chuckled, "You've mastered Wood Release and can use a ninjutsu like True Several Thousand Hands. Are you afraid others will find out? If they do, who will dare say anything? Back then, the First Hokage, with his Wood Release, could completely suppress an entire era of the ninja world. You're too timid."

"Moreover, I even think that you can suppress the ninja world without relying on Wood Release. There is no one in the ninja world who can be your opponent. Your terrifying Lightning Release alone is no less powerful than Wood Release."

That's what he said, but Yu Ming still said, "You'd better not say it. Although it's true, I at least hope to keep a low profile and not be so ostentatious. Right now, there are only a few people who know that I can use Wood Release. Last time, I even regretted using the Myojinmon. Actually, I could have used other sealing techniques."

Hearing Yu Ming's words, it turns out that Yu Ming still has many people who can suppress Naruto in his fully Nine-Tails form.

However, Kurama (the Nine-Tails) didn't intend to tell Naruto about this.

"Alright, but I can roughly guess Akatsuki's purpose in capturing the Tailed Beasts. What they want to do may not be known to the other Tailed Beasts, but I do."

Yu Ming looked at Nine-Tailed Fox and asked, "What is your purpose?"

Kurama suddenly became serious. "Didn't you just mention the Gedo Mazo?"

Yu Ming nodded. "Yeah, what's wrong?"

·········Requesting flowers··········

Kurama asked, "Do you know what the Gedo Mazo is used for?"

Yu Ming knew, of course, but he asked, "What is it used for?"

Nine-Tails looked at Yu Ming solemnly and said, "It's used to collect the chakra of the Tailed Beasts."

Yu Ming laughed and said, "I know, is that the only purpose?"

Nine-Tails rolled its eyes at Yu Ming and said, "Don't interrupt me. The purpose of collecting chakra is to summon a terrifying creature."

Yu Ming was taken aback. "A terrifying creature?"

Nine-Tails nodded. "Yes, a terrifying life, a terrifying creature that could even destroy the entire world."

Yu Ming frowned. "Destroy the entire world? I just dealt with one a few days ago."

.....

Nine-Tailed Fox was stunned, looking at Yu Ming, and then understood what he meant.

He laughed and said, "The thing you dealt with is nothing compared to that creature. There are nine tailed beasts in the world. Do you know where these tailed beasts came from?"

Yu Ming found it interesting, sat down, looked at Nine-Tailed Fox and smiled, "Go on."

Nine-Tails thought for a moment and said, "In this world, there was originally an extremely terrifying creature. This creature had ten tails, and its power was so terrifying that it could even destroy the entire world. Its name was Ten-Tails."

"The chakra of the nine tailed beasts was derived from the Ten-Tails."

"The Ten-Tails was originally the tailed beast of the Sage of Six Paths. Because the Ten-Tails wanted to destroy the world, it was eventually defeated by the Sage of Six Paths and sealed inside his body. Before the Sage of Six Paths passed away, the Ten-Tails' chakra was divided into nine parts, and these nine parts of chakra are the nine tailed beasts we know today."

Yu Ming nodded. "You mean, the Akatsuki's goal might be to reunite you, summon the Ten-Tails, and destroy the world?"

Nine-Tails nodded and said, "Yes, since they can summon the Gedo Mazo, then someone must have awakened the Rinnegan. Although I don't know how they awakened it, someone must have the Rinnegan."

"The Rinnegan was inherited from the Ten-Tails. The Sage of Six Paths' mother had the Byakugan, not the Rinnegan."

Yu Ming paused for a moment, stopped Nine-Tails, and asked, "Wait a minute, the Sage of Six Paths' mother? What do you mean?"

Chapter 257 Indra and Asura

Nine-Tails thought for a moment, then looked at Yu Ming and said, "The Sage of Six Paths' mother, a woman named Kaguya Otsutsuki, was incredibly powerful, powerful enough to destroy the entire world. She originally wanted to destroy the world, but was sealed away by the Sage of Six Paths and his brother."

Yu Ming looked at the Nine-Tailed Fox with a somewhat incredulous expression.

Nine-Tails knew that if Yu Ming found out about this, he would definitely be very surprised.

However, Nine-Tails laughed and said, "How about it? Don't you feel that you're not actually that strong?"

Yu Ming glanced at the Nine-Tailed Fox and said calmly, "No, but these things are indeed a bit strange. The Sage of Six Paths actually has a mother, and she's so powerful."

Nine-Tailed Fox's lips twitched slightly as she said, "What you're saying is, without a mother, where would the Sage of Six Paths have come from?"

Yu Ming looked at the Nine-Tailed Fox and said, "It was born of nature, isn't it an immortal? And it has a mother?"

"One One Three," Nine-Tailed Fox looked at Yu Ming, unsure of what to say for a moment.

After a moment of stunned silence, Nine-Tails smiled wryly and said, "Your brain is just... people call him an immortal, but he is certainly not an immortal."

"The Sage of Six Paths is still human after all; how could he not have a mother?"

Actually, Kurama and the Sage of Six Paths have a very good relationship. If someone else had said this, Kurama would probably have roared, but it didn't react to Yu Ming's words.

The main reason is that Yu Ming's strength is not enough. Of course, it's also because the Nine-Tails doesn't actually hate the Nine-Tails that much.

At first, it actually disliked Yu Ming, but after communicating with him, it found that Yu Ming was actually not bad.

Yu Ming nodded. "I see. I guess the Sage of Six Paths also learned immortal techniques."

Kurama nodded and said, "Hmm, the Sage of Six Paths learned Sage Mode at Mount Myōboku. You probably didn't learn your Sage Mode there, did you?"

It's clear from the Nine-Tails that Yu Ming's Sage Mode was definitely not learned at Mount Myōboku. It was probably learned at Ryūchi Cave. The Sage Mode of Shikkotsu Forest has been around for over a thousand years, and no one has ever learned it.

The Sage Techniques of Mount Myōboku lean towards ninjutsu, those of Ryūchi Cave lean towards genjutsu, and those of Shikkotsu Forest lean towards taijutsu.

However, although Yu Ming learned the immortal techniques of Ryuchi Cave, he rarely used illusion techniques and mostly used ninjutsu.

However, when it comes to what they are good at, it's only what the sages in these places are good at; in reality, there's no difference in sage techniques and chakra.

As for the difficulty of cultivation, the most difficult is actually the Wet Bone Forest.

For over a thousand years, not a single person has learned it.

Even Tsunade couldn't learn it.
