Naruto: The Age of Ninja Swordsmen Begins from the Hidden Cloud Village.

“The brain can grow.”

Tamura Hao didn't care about this. Even Uzumaki Naruto became mature and steady after he grew up. This kind of child would grow up quickly just by being hit more.

It would be even better if I could die once, as this would also be an important opportunity to trick Tsunade in the future.

Without further ado, he raised his hand and pressed it on the boy's head, imprinting the mark of the Eight Thousand Spears there. He then devoured and purified the chakra in his body, and then injected the chakra of the Ten-Tails into his body, as well as the Wood Release chakra, to stimulate the bloodline from Hashirama Senju.

Although Wood Release is too special and difficult to activate through blood inheritance, it does exist and can be activated as long as the conditions are met.

Of course, it's just Wood Release, which can't be compared with Hashirama Senju's Wood Release.

The key point is the lack of Ashura Chakra. Without that kind of chakra, one can only develop Wood Release to the level of a wooden man at most. Even if one learns fairy techniques, one can only strengthen the wooden man, and it is impossible to use an ultra-special move like the Thousand Hands.

The same is true for Senju Orange and Uchiha Fugaku, who had transplanted Hashirama's cells. The two of them could only use Wood Release to the level of the Flower Tree World, which is the same as Uchiha Madara.

The clone of Hashirama Senju cultivated by Orochimaru will definitely be better, but it is at most at the level of a wooden man.

As a direct descendant of Hashirama Senju, Ropew can also develop Wood Release to the level of Woodman if developed properly.

With the continuous infusion of Wood Release Chakra and huge and pure life force, the bloodline of the Senju Rope Tree derived from Hashirama Senju was forcibly stimulated and activated, and then it merged with the Wood Release Chakra to produce its own Wood Release Chakra.

"It's done!"

Sensing that Wood Release Chakra had finally been generated within Rope Tree's body, Tamura Hao breathed a sigh of relief.

Although he had this plan, he was not completely sure, but fortunately it was successful in the end.

"You take care of the rest!"

After making sure that Rope Tree's Wood Release Chakra was stable, Tamura Hao said something to Black Zetsu, and then opened the space gate and returned.

"Wood Release!"

Black Zetsu sighed, and then controlled the possessed Iwagakure to throw a kunai with an explosive tag at the three people. Two of them were blown to pieces, and Rope Tree's body was blown away and also suffered serious injuries.

After doing all this, Black Zetsu controlled the possessed Iwagakure to run away, leaving behind subtle traces.

This is the rear of Konoha's front line, where a large number of ninja patrols are deployed. The sound of the detonating tags quickly attracted the attention of the surrounding patrol teams, and they rushed here.

At the same time, the Wood Release Chakra in the body of Rope Tree, which was injured, erupted autonomously, and a big tree grew out to wrap its body. At the same time, the huge life force in the body repaired the damage to the body.

Soon three patrol teams arrived and discovered the rope tree protected by the big tree. They were all confused by this strange phenomenon.

Especially since the big tree could attack on its own and absorb their chakra, Team Three was at a loss and finally had to ask for help from the camp.

Upon hearing that her brother was attacked, Tsunade dropped everything she was doing and rushed over in a hurry. She was also stunned when she saw the big tree that protected her brother.

"Wood Release!"

After the shock, Tsunade was so excited that she couldn't control herself.

I thought my grandfather's Wood Release had become a thing of the past, but I didn't expect it to reappear on my younger brother, and at such a critical moment.

Is this the blessing from my grandfather’s spirit in heaven?

"Nawaki has awakened Wood Release!"

Senju Orange Water's shadow clone arrived shortly afterwards and was also shocked when he saw the big tree.

This is definitely Wood Release, and it is Wood Release that has awakened autonomously.

He could also clearly sense the powerful life force in Sheng Shu's body, which was far beyond what he could achieve by transplanting his great-grandfather's cells.

This is the real Wood Release!

"It should be that Nawaki was in danger of his life, and his body's potential was stimulated to awaken Wood Release."

Looking at the two bodies that were blown to pieces not far away, Senju Orange Water roughly guessed how Rope Tree awakened Wood Release.

When people are faced with life-and-death crisis, they can always unleash amazing potential, so it is reasonable for Nawaki to use this opportunity to awaken the Wood Release technique.

"What should we do now? The tree is protecting itself and we can't get close to it."

Tsunade was anxious and wanted to rescue her brother as soon as possible, but she didn't know where to start.

Although she had the strength to break the tree, she was afraid of hurting her brother inside.

Although she had read the information on Wood Release left by her great-grandfather and second grandfather, she didn't know much about the real Wood Release. Her brother's current condition made her dare not act rashly.

"When he wakes up, he should be able to control the tree by taking back the Wood Release Chakra inside.

Besides, the vitality in the rope tree is very strong and stable, so it will be fine."

Qianshou Orange Water gave a plan, then found a place to sit down and wait.

He was very curious about this self-awakened Wood Release. He wondered what the difference was between it and the one he transplanted himself. Maybe he could use it to improve his own Wood Release.

At the same time, it is also a good thing that Rope Tree awakens the Wood Release. As long as he is trained properly, he can definitely become a Kage-level strongman, so that they will have an easier time in the future.

Moreover, Wood Release has a special meaning in Konoha. His own Wood Release cannot be revealed for the time being, but as the grandson of his great-grandfather, Nawaki can fully use it.

Chapter 195: Sage Hanzo

Senju Orange Water made confidential arrangements for the event of Rope Tree awakening Wood Release, but still underestimated the methods of Sarutobi Hiruzen and others. The information was transmitted back to Konoha as soon as possible, and the trio was shocked.

"Huruzen, we can't wait any longer. The Senju has used Wood Release again, and he's the grandson of the first generation teacher. Once the news spreads, we will be in a passive position."

Utane Koharu no longer had her usual composure, and Mito Menen kept wiping her glasses, both showing their inner anxiety.

Hiruzen had expressed his intention to pass down the throne before, and at that time it was more of a conspiracy and inducement, but now a Wood Release master has appeared in the Senju clan, and he is the grandson of the first Hokage.

If this news spreads, the position of Hokage will definitely go to Senju.

Whether it is Senju Orange Water, Tsunade, or Rope Tree, they are all very disadvantageous to them.

The prestige that the first generation teacher left in Konoha was so high that it was unimaginable. Even though they had been trying to eliminate his influence over the years, either openly or secretly, and even gave Sarutobi Hiruzen the title of the strongest Hokage, the results were still minimal.

Even if the faction on their side is likely to collapse, the problem is too serious and the rope tree must be removed as soon as possible.

"I have passed the message to Danzo."

Sarutobi Hiruzen was smoking his pipe and feeling very upset.

Putting aside whether Danzo can get rid of Rope Tree, the subsequent impact of destroying Rope Tree alone is difficult to deal with. For some things, a single suspicion is enough for some people to make judgments.

In fact, he had thought about getting rid of Nawaki a long time ago because the Senju clan proposed to let Nawaki be the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, which he would never allow. He had even made arrangements, but unfortunately Nawaki avoided it that time, and made Tsunade and others alert.

The matter was left unresolved afterwards, but fortunately Lord Mito took the overall situation into consideration and did not seal the Nine-Tailed Fox into Rope Tree's body.

But who would have thought that Rope Tree would actually awaken the Wood Release Technique, which was even more fatal.

Even though Nawaki cannot apply Wood Release to the same level as his first teacher, he still has no problem matching the Nine-Tails, and can even restrain it.

Then there is the meaning of Wood Release itself, which is more difficult to deal with.

"Danzo alone may not be enough."

Mito Kado En spoke up and expressed his concern about Danzo's ability to do things, as the last war in the Whirlpool Country was messed up.

"I have arranged additional personnel."

Sarutobi Hiruzen took a puff of smoke. He made arrangements as soon as he received the information. He told the two of them now just to cooperate in eliminating the follow-up impact.

"It's good to have an arrangement."

The two of them breathed a sigh of relief, but they were still worried.

Rope Tree, who has awakened Wood Release, will inevitably be protected. It is not easy to eliminate him under the protection of the Senju clan, not to mention that there must be no evidence left.

"What we need to pay more attention to now is the Four Kage Talks being held in the Rain Village by the Hidden Cloud Village, the Hidden Rock Village, the Hidden Sand Village, and the Hidden Mist Village. They must be plotting against us."

Sarutobi Hiruzen changed the topic to another matter. They had previously received information that representatives of the four major ninja villages gathered in the Hidden Rain Village, and even the Third Kazekage and the Third Tsuchikage were present in person, which made him very uneasy.

They had all left at that time, but we received information yesterday that the Third Tsuchikage and the Third Kazekage had set out for the Rain Country again.

At the same time, during this period, the Third Tsuchikage and the Third Kazekage collected special metals in the village, including high-quality ninja tools that had already been made.

These are all too unusual, there must be a secret.

“It’s more like a deal.”

Utane Koharu had some guesses, and those guesses were not good.

"I also guess that it is most likely a magic. The Hidden Cloud Village conquered the three holy places and must have inherited their magic. Other ninja villages will definitely be jealous.

But will the Hidden Cloud Village really trade that kind of power?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen was not quite sure. He was well aware of the power of the magic. If he obtained the magic, he would definitely not pass it on, let alone pass it on to other ninja villages.

Moreover, according to the information sent back from the Iwagakure Village and the Sand Village, they are only collecting special metals. Does the Kumogakure Village need these?

"Can it break their deal?"

Mito Kado En looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen and thought it would be great if he could disrupt the deal between the four major ninja villages.

"That was in the Hidden Rain Village, and there were four Kage-level warriors gathered there, and there was also Ōnoki's Dust Release, unless we can gather all the manpower together to kill them by force."

Shaking his head, Sarutobi Hiruzen knew that was impossible.

Now the alliance of the four major ninja villages has the upper hand and dominance. Konoha is too passive, and their strong men are locked up on the battlefields everywhere.

"Can I get Senjutsu from Jiraiya and Orochimaru?"

Utatane Koharu changed her mindset. Since she couldn't stop it, she decided to find a way to obtain the magic herself.

The only ones who can take action now are Jiraiya and Orochimaru, who are the contractors of Myobokusan and Ryuchido.

"I'll find a chance to talk to Orochimaru."

After a long silence, Sarutobi Hiruzen finally decided to go find that disciple, at least to try out the fairy seal.

The three of them discussed like this until late at night before they dispersed. Sarutobi Hiruzen came back and came to the basement which was set up with layers of barriers. There, a figure was sealed with sealing chains. It was the Second Tsuchikage, or to be more precise, the Impure World Reincarnation of the Second Tsuchikage.

After receiving the preliminary and perfected Impure World Reincarnation from that disciple last time, he set about summoning the Second Tsuchikage.

As for the flesh and blood of the Second Tsuchikage, it was when the Second Tsuchikage brought Ohnoki to Konoha and was stopped and injured by Uchiha Madara. When the Second Tsuchikage went to investigate, he collected some blood and then sealed it.

The second-generation teacher has collected quite a few similar powerful flesh and blood masters.

After he became Hokage, he obtained this sealed inheritance and did not give it to Danzo, so he attached so much importance to the Impure World Reincarnation.

Unfortunately, the Impure World Reincarnation is not perfect yet. It cannot perfectly restore the original strength, nor can it be perfectly controlled, so it is far behind in actual combat.

The sealed Second Tsuchikage simply glanced at Sarutobi Hiruzen who was walking down, without saying a word, but with a hint of mockery in his eyes.

He has been imprisoned here for more than a month. What the other party wants is the fusion secret technique of Dust Escape, but he will never give it to them.

Sarutobi Hiruzen did not say anything, just quietly looked at the sealed and bound Second Tsuchikage.

It is impossible to convince him with words. The only solution now is to use illusion. And ordinary illusion will not work. It must be an illusion blessed by the Mangekyō Sharingan.

Moreover, with a pair of Mangekyō Sharingan, he can rely on the powerful power of the Mangekyō to forcibly control the Impure World Reincarnation.

There is no need to control too many, just a few shadow-level strongmen will be enough.

But it is not easy to get a pair of kaleidoscopes, you have to wait patiently.

Mingjing seems to be planning a decisive battle, and perhaps we can find an opportunity at that time, but we will have to wait for a while.

Not to mention Sarutobi Hiruzen's thoughts, on the other side, Shimura Danzo was also very solemn after receiving the information from his good friend.

Although he had acquired Wood Release and had undergone a significant mutation due to the dark chakra, it was obtained through improper means after all.

Once it is used, it will inevitably be criticized, which will be detrimental to the fight for the position of Hokage.

And Nawaki is the grandson of the first Hokage, so it is legitimate for him to awaken Wood Release. In addition to that identity, he will definitely gain a lot of support in the village once the news spreads.

"We have to let the Iwagakure Village attack first."

After a little thought, Danzo Shimura came up with an idea in his mind. He had to let the ninja army of the Iwagakure Village attack first. This way he could take advantage of the situation to eliminate the target and leave fewer traces.

The last war in the Whirlpool Country put him in a very passive position, and he must not make any mistakes this time.

"Orochimaru must not know."

Thinking of that partner again, Danzo Shimura excluded him immediately.

Orochimaru is not only Nawaki's teacher, but also a friend and teammate who grew up with Tsunade, and they have a deep bond.

Now Orochimaru has only semi-broken with Hiruzen, but his relationship with Tsunade is still good. He will definitely not agree to attack Nawaki, and once he knows about it, he will most likely stop it, or even tell Tsunade.

So we must be on guard.

"Are you trading fairy arts?"
