Naruto: My setting is above yours.

Sakumo Hatake sighed inwardly.

After listening, he not only found it refreshing, but also had many new ideas about cultivating bloodline limits.

Yakushi Nonou's face was gentle and calm, but she was deeply shaken: "Although I didn't fully understand, it is obvious that she is an extraordinary genius."

"I've never heard of the principles contained within a bloodline limit being explained so clearly before. It's truly astonishing!"

Chapter 67 Spirit Talisman

A spontaneous discussion proved to be very beneficial to everyone.

With everyone having rested enough, Hatake Sakumo gave the order to set off.

Yamashiro Aoba dropped the rubber baton in her hand, and with a bang, the transformation was canceled.

Xuanma glanced at it, and then suddenly a flash of inspiration struck him, leaving him stunned on the spot.

Shizune noticed he wasn't moving and asked curiously, "Xuanma, what's wrong?"

Genma snapped out of his daze and laughed happily, "I've figured out something! Haha, let's go back to the village and talk about it!"

The group set off on their journey.

Under such a rapid march, Genma and the others finally returned to Konoha Village at 7 p.m.

Sakumo Hatake was responsible for the final submission of the mission, while Genma and the other two were dismissed immediately after entering the village.

When he got home, his parents were still not there. Xuanma first took a nice bath, then cooked some noodles and went to bed.

He could keep up with the physical demands of the past few days' mission, but he was mentally exhausted and desperately wanted to get some sleep to recover.

He slept soundly, but some people were in a bad mood.

In the Tsuchikage Building, the Third Tsuchikage, Onoki, looked at the intelligence submitted by his son, Kyoto, his face extremely gloomy.

"Konoha is actually allowing Amegakure to recover its strength. Isn't Konoha afraid that Hanzo will invade the Land of Fire once he becomes powerful?"

Onoki was practically gritting his teeth.

He felt that the Third Hokage might have lost his mind and made such an irrational decision.

Looking at his furious father, Huang Tu said, "Perhaps it's related to our previous actions."

"It is now almost certain that Amegakure has interfered with our intelligence gathering efforts against the Land of Fire."

"It is very likely that Hanzo formed an alliance with Konoha through this."

Onoki said with a grim face, "We cannot allow Amegakure to regain its strength, or even become stronger. Hanzo is a very dangerous person."

Although Iwagakure has no interests in the Land of Rivers, the powerful Amegakure would harm Iwagakure's overall interests.

Huang Tu's expression was solemn: "If we attack Amegakure now, Konoha will probably join the war as well, and then we will have to fight three ninja villages at the same time."

There was another hidden worry he didn't mention: the warlike Cloud Village would most likely take advantage of the chaos.

At that time, we will be facing four ninja villages at the same time.

Onoki frowned, then cursed inwardly.

He had to admit that Konoha had made a very good move.

Onoki floated around in the air with his hands behind his back, constantly thinking of ways to break the deadlock.

Talk to Sunagakure and then join forces to deal with Amegakure?

He was unwilling to give up the benefits he had gained.

Why did Amegakure (Hidden Rain Village) remain unmoved and directly wage war against Konoha (Hidden Leaf Village), thus drawing Kumogakure (Hidden Cloud Village) into attacking the Land of Fire?

Onoki believed that as long as he started the war, the Third Raikage, that greedy wolf-like guy, would definitely take the opportunity to follow up and seize the benefits.

However, Iwagakure is not yet ready to invade the Land of Fire.

"Hanzo, damn it..."

After pondering for a long time, Onoki realized that now was not a good time to deal with Amegakure. In the end, he could only say, "Let Hanzo be smug for a while. Hmph, even if we form an alliance with Konoha, Konoha will not want to see Amegakure become too powerful."

Once Sunagakure surrenders, we'll join forces to deal with Amegakure!

Seeing that his father had made a decision, Huang Tu secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

He was afraid that his father would get angry and start a war.

……

Since Hanzo announced his takeover of the Land of Rivers and allied with Konoha, Amegakure has been on high alert, preparing for a major battle against Iwagakure.

However, after waiting and waiting for several days, and sending out batches of intelligence agents, Iwagakure made no move at all, and was still fighting a major battle with Sunagakure in the northern part of the Land of Wind.

Having confirmed that Iwagakure would not start a war, Hanzo felt a mix of emotions.

As Yu Feng Xuan Ma said, now is indeed an excellent opportunity!

At that moment, Hanzo even regretted killing Yufeng Genma earlier.

But that slight regret vanished in an instant.

Hanzo was very clear-headed; Amegakure and Konoha could not be allies forever. Like other ninja villages, Konoha would not allow Amegakure to continue to grow stronger.

It's a pity we couldn't take care of that kid.

After sighing inwardly, Hanzo immediately composed himself.

Since war is not going to happen, we should focus on development.

Hanzo remained calm. He knew that war wouldn't break out now, but it would eventually drag Amegakure into it.

We must expand our strength!

How to do it?

Hanzo pondered for a moment and quickly recalled Danzo's earlier suggestion: to subdue the countless ninja organizations in the Land of Rain and use them as expendable resources when war came.

This would not only increase the strength of Amegakure, but also eliminate the internal troubles of the Land of Rain.

I was too busy preparing for the competition to do it before, but now I can.

……

Xuanma woke up to find it was already daylight.

After washing up, I felt refreshed.

After greeting his mother who was making breakfast, Genma leaped out of the house and found a secluded grove of trees to begin his training.

He never slacked off in his training of Wood Release Chakra Mode, even during missions.

Unless you can't find any trees.

Years later, the transformation of the body became more and more obvious, and the cells in the body increasingly possessed many characteristics of plant cells.

"If this continues, it will be a complete transformation in six months at most."

After finishing his cultivation, Xuanma estimated the time.

When you truly master Wood Release, you won't need to rely on clones anymore.

This is also why he almost never uses Wood Release when carrying out missions.

In battle now, Wood Release will always be his last resort.

After finishing his Wood Release training, Genma did not leave. He continued to develop the illusion technique "Flowers Bloom in an Instant" until the sun was high in the sky before he finished his training.

Genma bought two sushi pieces on the way to fill his stomach and strolled over to Tsunade's house.

In the training ground in the backyard, Shizune was sparring with Fennel, while Tsunade stood with her arms crossed, watching the two of them and giving them pointers.

Xuanma did not go forward immediately. After watching from a distance for a while, he turned around and went to his study.

Xuanma sat cross-legged at the table and picked up the scattered scrolls on the ground to read them.

It is research material about immortality and regeneration.

Genma's eyes lit up when he saw Tsunade's notes on the table.

It seems that the research on the Hundred Healings Technique and Creation Regeneration is almost complete!

"What, you want to learn?"

Tsunade's voice suddenly rang out from behind.

Xuanma looked up at the clock and realized that more than an hour had passed without him noticing.

"It's a very interesting technique, but it's not really suitable for me."

Genma smiled and shook his head.

Tsunade sat down opposite him, glanced at Genma, who was riding the wind, and casually asked, "When will you be able to complete your Wood Release?"

Xuanma said, "Probably within half a year!"

"Has Lady Tsunade made any progress?"

Tsunade shook her head: "I've already given up."

Xuanma pondered, "Perhaps we can try a different approach."

"Using Earth Release and Water Release chakra as life force to drive plant growth."

"We will try to merge the two natures according to the Yang Dun (阳遁) principle."

Tsunade frowned and pondered for a moment before hesitatingly nodding: "I'll give it a try."

This is an exploration entirely through the fusion of bloodline limits, rather than the method of Genma refining plant cell chakra.

In any case, the final result is Wood Release; the process is not important.

Just then, Jingyin and Huixiang walked in, one carrying snacks and the other carrying tea.

The four sat down, drinking tea and eating snacks while discussing medical ninjutsu.

Genma ate lunch at Tsunade's house before leaving.

Of course, the ingredient used in cooking is fennel.

I must say, it was quite delicious!
