"Ding! You have obtained the Talent Perk [Kekkei Genkai: Wood Release (Purple)], Merge or Decompose?"
"Merge."
Although the system's voice was devoid of emotion, at this moment, it sounded like heavenly music to Izayoi.
[Remember our domain name Taiwan Novel Website → 𝚝𝚠𝚔𝚊𝚗.𝚌𝚘𝚖]
Without the slightest hesitation, he directly merged this Perk that had crossed the world to reach him.
In the next second, a new Perk was added to Izayoi's Perk column—Kekkei Genkai: Wood Release (Purple).
Behind Wood Release, there was also a bracket, representing the "+" that indicated it could be upgraded.
Izayoi's points savings had already broken through the 100,000 mark, enough to upgrade ten Purple Perks to Gold Perks, or one Gold Perk to a Red Perk.
Although upgrading Wood Release only required 9,999 points, Izayoi still didn't upgrade it, because that would just be a waste of points.
Danzo Shimura, Obito Uchiha, Tenzō, and Black and White Zetsu had already personally proven that what was strong was never Wood Release, but Hashirama Senju, whose Chakra, even when combined with half of the Nine Tails and Naruto Uzumaki's, was only 'almost comparable to his'.
Hashirama Senju, who had developed the Sage Body to the extreme, could make any Ninjutsu and Kekkei Genkai shine brightly in his hands.
If Hashirama Senju had mastered Dust Release, then Dust Release would be the most amazing ability, a Kekkei Tota surpassing Kekkei Genkai, truly deserving of the name.
Without the level of Yang Release Chakra of a Sage Body, Wood Release was just a decent Kekkei Genkai, capable of cultivating a trump card like Tenzō.
Izayoi, who possessed the Tenseigan, didn't really need Wood Release at all.
However, in order to accelerate the growth of Sasuke Uchiha, this leek, and to deal with Black and White Zetsu's Mayfly Technique, Izayoi needed to use Wood Release.
Now that it had finally dropped, Izayoi could also deal with those disgusting things and turn Konoha into a completely clean place.
Thus, Izayoi, wearing colored contact lenses, activated the Tenseigan, switched his perspective to the villa on Sakura Street, and manipulated a puppet in charge of guarding the place to open the safe and take out a red scroll.
Opening the scroll, various Wood Release Ninjutsu immediately came into Izayoi's view.
This scroll was precisely the Wood Release Scroll that Danzo Shimura had given to Tenzō in the original story, and it was also one of Danzo Shimura's treasures.
However, this scroll did not contain Hashirama Senju's Wood Release three-piece set, namely Wood Release: Advent of a World of Flowering Trees, Wood Release: Wood Dragon Technique, and Wood Release: Wood Human Technique.
Naturally, it also didn't have the S-Rank Secret Technique Sage Art Wood Release: True Several Thousand Hands - Top Transformed Buddha.
Izayoi didn't care; he opened the Wood Release Scroll and only glanced at the Wood Release Three Body Technique.
If Black and White Zetsu's Impersonation Technique and Mayfly Technique, as well as the Spore Technique, were the ultimate versions of the Three Body Technique and Body Flicker Technique, and Invisibility Technique, these five basic techniques.
Then the Wood Release Three Body Technique was the top-level Three Body Technique.
Although it couldn't compare to Black and White Zetsu's Three Great Divine Skills, it completely crushed the Three Body Technique and Shadow Clone Technique.
Izayoi only glanced at them a few times and learned these three basic Wood Release Ninjutsu.
Then he learned two more practical Wood Release Ninjutsu and withdrew his gaze.
Izayoi took the fishing rod and came to the yard, asking Sasuke Uchiha, who was sitting cross-legged on the veranda reading a book, "Sasuke, do you want to go fishing together?"
"No, go find Hinata and Hanabi to keep you company."
Sasuke Uchiha said without looking up, "I have a feeling that the C-Rank and above mission system will be restarted soon, and we may have to go out on missions by then. While there's still time, I want to read a bit more."
Sasuke Uchiha suddenly looked up at Izayoi, shook the book in his hand, and asked, "By the way, the S-Rank Secret Technique you mentioned, is it medical-related?"
"It can be considered an auxiliary type between Medical Ninjutsu and Sealing Technique." Izayoi thought for a moment, waved his hand and smiled, "Anyway, you will definitely like it, keep it up."
Using Body Flicker Technique to leave Sasuke Uchiha's house, Izayoi didn't go to Hinata and Hanabi either, but came to the Naka River alone.
Taking out a beach chair from the Sealing Scroll, Izayoi began to bait the fish hook, and then with a beautiful cast, began his afternoon as a fisherman.
After a few minutes, seeing that there was no movement at all, Izayoi began to create a fish nest.
Grabbing a handful of bait and throwing it into the water, he used the float to try to attract other fish to approach.
He looked like a professional fisherman.
But no one noticed that among the handful of bait that Izayoi threw out, there was a white seed that followed the current to the downstream section of the river.
A figure, soaked all over, climbed up from the bank of the downstream section of the river, it was the Wood Transformation Wood Clone that Izayoi used.
As soon as the Wood Clone came ashore, it immediately disappeared using Body Flicker Technique.
When it reappeared, it had already arrived above the cliff of the Naka River.
Hiding in the tree hole of a tree, the Wood Clone stretched out its hand and pressed it on the ground, infiltrating its Wood Release Chakra into the ground, but instead of urging the branches to break out of the soil, it spread the Chakra through the roots, connecting with the roots of plants and underground water flows in all directions, within a radius of one kilometer.
Without the help of Kagura Mind's Eye, and without opening the Tenseigan, the Wood Release Chakra of the Wood Clone captured a special Chakra existing underground in this area.
This special Chakra was attached to a tree root, assimilated with it, and even the strongest Sensing Technique could not detect it. Even if one could see through the earth, one could only see that tree root.
But in this world, there is no perfect Ninjutsu.
Just like the mutual restraint of attributes, any Ninjutsu has the ability to restrain it.
And Wood Release, which is the fusion of Water Release nature transformation and Earth Release nature transformation, can restrain the Mayfly Technique, which can be integrated with the earth, grass, and trees, and needs to use the organic network of plant roots and underground water flows to move at high speed.
After finding the location of the White Zetsu Clone, the Wood Clone didn't even need to form hand seals, and whispered, "Wood Release: Silent Killing Binding Technique!"
In an instant, the tree root that the White Zetsu Clone was attached to suddenly came alive.
The tree root grew rapidly, like wrapping a rice dumpling, wrapping the group of Chakra attached to it, and at the same time, a terrifying suction force devoured the group of Chakra, without giving the other party a chance to escape at high speed.
At the same time, tadpole-shaped black spells appeared on the tree root, sealing the consciousness of the White Zetsu Clone.
"Damn, I've been discovered!"
Almost at the moment when the White Zetsu Clone was sealed, the White Zetsu Clones distributed in Konoha, and even in various places in the Shinobi World, seemed to have a white line across their minds, and they knew which clone had an accident in the first time.
In the next second, the White Zetsu Clones hiding in various places in Konoha, fled Konoha without hesitation.
Black and White Zetsu, who were in the state of Mayfly Technique, wandering in the Shinobi World to collect information, suddenly poked their heads out of the ground.
The White Zetsu among them was no longer acting like a child, and said with a heavy face: "The Mayfly Technique has been cracked, and a White Zetsu Clone sent to Konoha has been discovered and caught."
Black Zetsu, who was connected to White Zetsu with spiritual possession, also learned of this news, and his black face seemed even darker.
Black Zetsu said in a deep voice: "The ability of the Mayfly Technique is to be integrated with the earth, grass, and trees, and even the strongest Sensing Technique cannot detect it. Even a barrier cannot stop the movement of the Mayfly Technique, even if the location is discovered, as long as the reaction is extremely fast, even powerful Earth Release Ninjutsu can't do anything about it."
"To be able to catch the White Zetsu Clone silently, this is definitely not something that Ninjutsu can do, is it a secret technique, or a Kekkei Genkai?"
"I don't know, that clone was sealed in an instant, and didn't even have time to share the information back." White Zetsu shook his head and asked, "Do you want to continue sending clones over?"
Black Zetsu was slightly silent, not speaking.
White Zetsu, knowing he was pondering, didn't disturb him.
After a moment, a meaningful smile suddenly appeared on Black Zetsu's face, his voice hoarse as he said, "No need to send them. This might be good news."
"Good news? How so?" White Zetsu asked, puzzled.
"We seem to have overlooked something very important." Black Zetsu looked up at the sky, a playful smile on his face. "That unfilial son, Hamura, only took one branch of the clan. He still had another branch that remained in the Shinobi World, and over the millennia, they abandoned their original surname."
Hearing this, White Zetsu's eyes widened. "You mean... the Hyuga Clan?"
"It's possible," Black Zetsu said, giving his analysis. "There are very few abilities that can break the Mayfly Technique. At least in the last thousand years, I've never seen one. But even I didn't dare to get close to those two unfilial sons back then. If it's the Rinnegan and that unknown eye technique, they might be able to see through the Mayfly Technique."
The newest novels are first released at
"If that's the case, it means that the mysterious guy isn't from the Moon, but someone from the Hyuga Clan's bloodline... has had a reversion to their ancestors!"
"I see..." White Zetsu slightly understood, then excitedly asked, "Should we investigate the Hyuga Clan? Who do you think is most likely to have awakened that eye technique, Hiashi Hyuga?"
"An eye technique containing the All Things of Nature Power must have massive Chakra support," Black Zetsu said pointedly. "If someone in the Hyuga Clan has Chakra that is abnormal, then he/she is most likely."
"What if no one fits the bill?"
"Then we can't rule out that branch secretly sending their most outstanding children to Konoha. We can observe those white-haired guys."
"Kakashi Hatake fits the bill. Before he transplanted the Sharingan, his Chakra was astonishing."
"It's not him! If he was from that branch, then even without the Uchiha Clan's bloodline, the Sharingan wouldn't have any side effects on him," Black Zetsu said with certainty.
"Okay..." White Zetsu nodded, then said with a troubled expression, "But if the Mayfly Technique is seen through, the White Zetsu Clones might not be able to infiltrate Konoha."
"If the Mayfly Technique doesn't work, then the Impersonation Technique will," Black Zetsu sneered.
"That's right." White Zetsu's eyes lit up. "We can disguise ourselves as Konoha ninjas and sneak in, or even take the identity of a Hyuga Clan member. Even if we're discovered, it's just sacrificing a clone."
No sooner said than done, White Zetsu immediately took action.
Izayoi was unaware of the reaction from Black and White Zetsu.
If he knew, he would definitely sigh: The old schemer of a thousand years is indeed not simple.
But he was still one step ahead.
After all, Black Zetsu's thinking hadn't jumped out of the circle of logic.
He would never have imagined that an outsider could perfectly replicate the Otsutsuki Bloodline at the level of a reversion to their ancestors, and not even have white hair!
Similarly able to fly, whether it was the Konoha higher-ups or the White Zetsu Clones, they subconsciously thought that Izayoi had mastered Earth Release: Light-Weight Rock Technique, or a similar Earth Release Ninjutsu, rather than the Akatsuki's Leader and a mysterious person.
After all, Izayoi's background was too clean.
Even the massive Chakra could be explained by the awakening of the Uzumaki or Senju bloodline from a distant ancestor.
Both of these bloodlines were descendants of the Yang Release Sage Body, and had nothing to do with Yin Release eye techniques/Rinnegan.
The scene returned to the Naka River.
After sealing the White Zetsu Clone, the Wood Clone used Wood Release to transport the zongzi buried underground to the surface, then disappeared in a Body Flicker Technique, changing places to continue exploring the underground, to see how many White Zetsu Clones were hidden in Konoha.
Izayoi then got up, floated into the air to the top of the cliff, and walked to the rice dumpling.
To avoid any accidents, before untying the rice dumpling, Izayoi first used Wood Transformation to turn into an ordinary middle-aged man, and then untied the tree roots that wrapped it like a rice dumpling.
The White Zetsu Clone inside was already in a coma.
"Let me see if your brain is empty or full," Izayoi murmured, then reached out and placed his hand on the White Zetsu Clone's head, whispering, "Ninjutsu: Mind Reading Technique!"
As soon as Yin Release Chakra penetrated the White Zetsu Clone's brain, Izayoi's face was filled with disappointment.
Clearly, the White Zetsu Clone's brain was empty.
This meant that Izayoi could not obtain the Mayfly Technique and Impersonation Technique, the two Great Divine Skills, from the White Zetsu Clone through the Mind Reading Technique.
If he could obtain the Mayfly Technique and Impersonation Technique, then combined with the Wood Clones that could absorb Chakra and be self-sufficient, Izayoi alone would be worth a hundred thousand White Zetsu.
At that time, the offense and defense would really be reversed.
However, this was also within Izayoi's expectations.
He had other methods.
After all, the biggest advantage of a transmigrator has always been knowing the plot!
After sealing the White Zetsu Clone and throwing it into the cave for a double seal, Izayoi jumped into the river, caught a few fish, and went home to show off to Sasuke Uchiha.
Fishermen never return empty-handed!
And so, time came to Konoha Year 60, August 22nd.
It had been exactly half a month since the Konoha Crush Plan.
During this time, Konoha ninjas could only do two types of missions: D-Rank Missions within the village, and being ordered to go out to collect information on Orochimaru and the Hidden Sound Village.
Apart from these two types of missions, the Hokage Building directly shut down the mission system, refusing any requests from outsiders.
The village would not restart the mission system until a new Hokage took office.
Not having any missions to do for so long also resulted in a large number of ninjas on the streets of Konoha.
Although morale had dropped to its lowest, it was not enough to cause panic.
However, on this day, Konoha suddenly became lively.
Because someone claimed that they had seen two legendary ninjas at the entrance of the village, one of whom was none other than the granddaughter of the First Hokage and Second Hokage, the princess of the Land of Fire, the Shinobi World's medical master—Tsunade!
In an instant, the news that Tsunade had returned to Konoha to succeed the Hokage, spread rapidly throughout Konoha, no one knew who said it.
Morale instantly rebounded!
