Crossover Anime: I'm Dominating Konoha, Sailing Through Bleach

They all fell silent, pretending to be deep in thought.

It's not that they have no other options, it's just that they don't want to shoulder such a huge responsibility like Nara Shikaku.

However, the honest Minato Namikaze spoke up again at this moment.

"If the goal is to improve the harsh environment of the Wind Kingdom, the most suitable solution I can think of is to relocate all the residents of the Wind Kingdom out of the desert."

"If they are unwilling, then we can only try to transform the desert environment and turn the desert into an oasis... but this is probably very difficult."

Minato Namikaze's words immediately garnered the approval of many ninjas.

Even Hiruzen Sarutobi, Homura Mitokado, and Koharu Utatane thought it made sense.

Everyone then turned to look at Uchiha Ryosuke.

At this moment, Uchiha Ryosuke shook his head: "If we relocate all the residents of the Land of Wind to other places, wouldn't that be the same as giving up that land?"

"The area will only become more desolate by then, and if the desert environment is not improved, the desert area will expand every year, which will affect all the surrounding areas."

"The wind and sand will continuously erode and devour the surrounding environment."

Uchiha Ryosuke's words were tantamount to directly rejecting Namikaze Minato's first proposal.

So it seems that only the second solution remains.

"To reshape the geographical environment of the Land of Wind..."

Uchiha Ryosuke pinched his chin and suddenly revealed a meaningful smile.

"If I remember correctly, there was a rumor in Konoha back then that the environment around the village was modified by the First Hokage using Wood Release, right?"

He smiled and looked at everyone present.

Ultimately, their attention settled on Hiruzen Sarutobi and several of the old advisors, including Homura Mitokado.

They were all ninjas born before the founding of Konoha.

I witnessed that glorious period of history.

"That's true. The forest environment surrounding Konoha Village was transformed in one fell swoop by the First Hokage using Wood Release, but..."

"No one knows how to use the Wood Release Kekkei Genkai anymore."

Hiruzen Sarutobi said regretfully.

"I think I know a little bit about Wood Release as well."

Chapter 87 Sage Technique! The First Hokage's Wood Release Power!

The speaker was Uchiha Ryosuke.

Upon hearing that he could actually use Wood Release, all the ninjas in the conference room stared at him in astonishment.

Even Hiruzen Sarutobi's eyes widened.

"Fourth Hokage, you... you know Wood Release??"

Fugaku Uchiha looked at him incredulously and asked.

"Wood Release is the bloodline limit power of the First Hokage. To this day, it seems that no one else can master it."

"Yes, that power was truly immense; it's just a pity that even the First Lord's direct descendants were unable to inherit it..."

"So, did the Fourth Hokage really master Wood Release? Is that true?"

"If you have to put it that way, it doesn't seem to make no mistake. After all, the Fourth Hokage's strength is unfathomable, and no one has ever seen his true strength."

"..."

Throughout the conference room, hundreds of elite ninjas couldn't help but start discussing it.

There are countless legends about Wood Release circulating in the village.

Those ninjas who had truly witnessed the power of Wood Release were even more shocked by it.

For example, Hiruzen Sarutobi, Homura Mitokado, and Koharu Utatane.

They were disciples of the Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju.

Tobirama Senju was the younger brother of Hashirama Senju, the First Hokage.

This relationship already destined the three of them to have an extraordinary closeness with the First Hokage.

The reason why the First Hokage was called the God of Shinobi was not only because of his earth-shattering Sage Techniques, but also because of his unparalleled Wood Release Kekkei Genkai power.

If Uchiha Ryosuke really mastered Wood Release, that would be incredible.

"It seems none of you believe me."

"However, I haven't actually used this power yet; I only comprehended it by chance some time ago."

"Since everyone is so curious, and even questioning it, let's go out and verify it ourselves, because I'm not sure if it's actually Wood Release."

Uchiha Ryosuke stood up and turned to walk outside.

Upon hearing his words, the crowd exchanged glances and then stood up one after another.

Hiruzen Sarutobi was the first to follow.

He then explained, "The First Hokage told us that the principle of Wood Release is actually very simple. It is a combination of Water Release and Earth Release, which uses one's own chakra to transform into a continuous source of life force to give birth to all things."

"However, in reality, while the principle is simple to understand, it is extremely difficult to put into practice."

"When an ordinary person uses Water Release combined with Earth Release, what they can use is not Wood Release, but a combination ninjutsu of Water Release and Earth Release."

Hiruzen Sarutobi's explanation was met with nods of agreement from the other ninjas.

In the past, Konoha conducted many secret experiments in an attempt to revive Wood Release.

They've tried every possible means and method.

Simply using a combination of Water Release and Earth Release is not enough to unleash Wood Release.

Later, the village came to some research conclusions, finding that only the cells of the First Hokage, Hashirama Senju, were special, and possessing the First Hokage's cells was the key to using Wood Release.

In order to cultivate users of Wood Release, the village secretly transplanted Wood Release cells into many living test subjects, which resulted in the deaths of many of them.

Ultimately, this experimental project had to be halted.

Every ninja in the village with any experience knew about this experimental project.

Now, they are very curious whether Uchiha Ryosuke really mastered Wood Release, and if so, how did he master it?

The group followed Uchiha Ryosuke and arrived at the back mountain of Konoha in a grand procession.

Uchiha Ryosuke stood atop the mountain, gazing into the distance.

The view from here is expansive, offering a panoramic view of most of Konoha.

Distant mountains and nearby waters, lush and verdant forests.

"This is the geographical environment created by the First Hokage using Wood Release! It's truly amazing!"

Uchiha Ryosuke stood with his hands on his hips, looking around at everything, and couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.

Meanwhile, Mitokado Homura reminded him, "This geographical environment was created by the First Hokage in one go."

"It's not just what you see now, Fourth Generation Master; the forest further away was also created by the First Generation Master."

"It can be said that the first generation created a forest area of ​​more than tens of square kilometers in one go."

Speaking of these things, Mitokado Yan couldn't help but show a look of admiration.

Hiruzen Sarutobi, Koharu Utatane, and the others standing nearby also nodded in agreement.

Hashirama Senju's Wood Release is truly impressive and awe-inspiring.

So much so that even decades later, they still feel so insignificant in the face of the original.

Unfortunately, those extraordinary beings have long since departed from them.

The past of the God of Ninjas is destined to exist only in legends.

"Fourth Hokage, have you truly mastered Wood Release?"

Minato Namikaze asked curiously.

"I don't know if it counts as Wood Release; you can decide for yourselves."

Uchiha Ryosuke snapped out of his daze and looked away.

Then, he turned around and clapped his hands in front of the woods behind him: "Ha!"

The chakra within his body surged and churned like a turbulent sea.

The surging torrent of chakra instantly transformed into an inexhaustible source of life force, which then merged into the core.

Immediately afterwards, everyone clearly saw the forest in front of them begin to change.

Suddenly, something pushed the lush, towering trees upwards, causing them to lean and sway precariously.

The earth trembled and continued to crack, as if something was trying to force its way out.

Everything happened so fast.

In the blink of an eye, before anyone could even react to what had happened, countless plants and trees burst forth from the earth and began to grow wildly at an absolutely savage pace.

In the blink of an eye, the surrounding forest was replaced.

Instead, new, vibrant, and lush vegetation and trees have grown back.

With a wave of his hand, he conjures a whole forest; what else could it be but Wood Release?

Having witnessed this miraculous scene, everyone was utterly shocked.

Uchiha Ryosuke, however, was somewhat exhausted, feeling as if his body had been completely drained, and he took a breath without making a sound.

"This Wood Release technique is indeed not something an ordinary person can use. This small area of ​​forest, less than one percent the size of the one Hashirama Senju created, has already exhausted my chakra..."

Looking at the lush primeval forest covering the entire back mountain of Konoha, Uchiha Ryosuke felt a deep sense of bitterness and helplessness.

He originally thought that if he used his Wood Release to its fullest extent, it would at least affect most of Konoha.

However, it turned out that he was just overthinking things.

Even when you go all out, that's about all you can achieve.

It is clear that there is still a significant gap in strength between him and the First Hokage, Hashirama Senju.

This level of strength is insufficient to defeat Madara Uchiha, let alone contend with the powerful members of the Otsutsuki clan...

The ninjas around him had completely different ideas from Uchiha Ryosuke.

They watched helplessly as Uchiha Ryosuke used Wood Release, creating a forest that covered the entire back mountain.

Everyone was so shocked that they were speechless.

So the Fourth Hokage really did know Wood Release!

While everyone was still in shock, Uchiha Ryosuke, whose body was completely empty and had almost no chakra left, suddenly heard a system notification in his mind.

[Your chakra is nearing depletion, your cells are bursting with boundless energy and becoming exceptionally active, your chakra refining speed has increased dramatically! Your chakra storage limit has increased dramatically! Your cells have awakened and mastered automatic chakra refining!]

[Automatic Chakra Refining: No matter when or where, whenever your chakra reserves are depleted, your body's cells will automatically activate and refine chakra, providing you with a continuous supply of chakra.]

[Chakra Refining Speed: Your current chakra refining speed is ten times the normal speed!]

[Chakra Limit Capacity: Your current maximum chakra storage capacity is 500 calories!]

As the notification sounded in his mind, Uchiha Ryosuke clearly sensed that the cells in his body were actually moving.

They crawled around inside my body like an endless stream of tiny ants.

At the same time, the chakra that had been nearly depleted was also surging back into Uchiha Ryosuke's body.

At first, it just gushed out a little, like water from an underground spring.

But as the spring water continued to gush out, the chakra quickly gathered into a pool, then a lake... and finally formed a vast ocean of chakra.

"Only 500 chakra capacity limit... that doesn't seem like much."

Uchiha Ryosuke muttered to himself.

On the bright side, however, he had managed to master a divine skill!

Chakra is automatically refined!
