"Auntie, you're going to give the Eight Trigrams Seal to that kid? He's Danzō Shimura's son!"
Suppressing his dissatisfaction, Senju Tōsu strongly disagreed with his aunt's decision.
Even if you've gotten involved with that pervert, you can't just pass on such an important fuinjutsu to outsiders!
What kind of mind-altering drug did that pervert give you to make you abandon your principles?
"Are you telling me how to do my job?"
Uzumi Mito glanced at him and spoke indifferently, increasingly disappointed in her nephew. Compared to that little brother, he wasn't even fit to carry his shoes.
Look at that little brother; he readily offered his clan's secret techniques for a trade without batting an eye, seeking new breakthroughs. And then look at your narrow-mindedness...
With your current attitude, forget about innovating and leading the clan to glory; you'd be lucky to just stay put without regressing.
Sigh, this generation of Senju is truly useless!
"Nephew wouldn't dare!"
Under Uzumi Mito's indifferent gaze, Senju Tōsu couldn't help but shiver and quickly bowed his head in apology.
"You only wouldn't dare? So you want to?"
Uzumi Mito said with a half-smile, seeing right through her nephew. His limited vision was even inferior to his uncle, Tobirama.
"Isn't it too rash to just hand over such an important fuinjutsu like the Eight Trigrams Seal to that pervert?"
Tsunade couldn't help but chime in, also disagreeing with her grandmother's decision.
After all, the Eight Trigrams Seal was specifically created to seal the Nine-Tails. If the Shimura Clan were to obtain it, they would gain the ability to seal the Nine-Tails. Given Danzō Shimura's ambitious nature, he would surely harbor wicked intentions.
"Not just anyone can bear the Nine-Tails. Even I find it quite difficult. You don't need to worry about this aspect."
Sensing her granddaughter's concern, Uzumi Mito comforted her. She had carefully considered giving the Eight Trigrams Seal to Shimura Kentei after confirming there were no hidden dangers.
Moreover, after interacting with that little brother for those two days, she noticed he seemed to strongly dislike external power and prioritized his own purity. She figured he wouldn't seal a Tailed Beast even if one were placed before him.
Also, his sights were set on something far greater than Tailed Beasts. If he succeeded, his future would be limitless.
At that time, their Senju and Uzumaki Clans might even have to rely on that little brother. By doing this now, she was forging a good relationship in advance.
If that kid succeeded, everyone would be happy, and if he failed, they would lose nothing.
Of course, she wouldn't mention the deal she made with that little brother. After all, the Uzumaki Clan was considered outsiders to Konoha, and there were certain taboos regarding this. Revealing it would benefit neither the Uzumaki nor the Shimura Clans.
"When you send out your Shadow Clones next time, take this scroll with you and give it to him."
With that, Uzumi Mito rose and left the secret chamber.
She still needed to teach Nawaki the secret technique for accelerating physical development as soon as possible!
"What should I do?"
Tsunade looked at the Sealed Item Scroll, unsure whether to deliver it to that pervert.
"Take it to him!"
Senju Tōsu's stern face was filled with gloom. He could only accept the situation now. His aunt was the pillar of their Senju Clan, and they had to follow her lead.
"That kid was right. Although Great Uncle brought us immense honor, he also made us a target for everyone."
Sighing, Senju Tōsu felt even more gloomy and nauseated.
Immense power always breeds greed, and once greed appears, it cannot be controlled.
When Great Uncle was still alive, he could suppress all the scoundrels, but after his death, many people began to harbor selfish thoughts.
During the First Great Ninja War, their Senju Clan was subtly targeted by the major ninja clans within Konoha.
If that hadn't been the case, they would have secured the position of Third Hokage back then; Sarutobi Hiruzen wouldn't have had a chance.
Given the current state of the village, their Senju Clan wouldn't be able to produce another Hokage within two generations. Otherwise, they would be further targeted by the major ninja clans in the village, possibly even triggering a civil war.
The fact that Great Uncle and Father had served as Hokage for two consecutive terms had already caused dissatisfaction among many clans. For the next thirty years, they absolutely couldn't covet the position of Hokage again, otherwise, it would bring disaster rather than fortune to the Senju.
"Tsunade, is Father's Wood Style regeneration plan from back then really impossible to succeed?"
Recalling a plan his father had initiated, Senju Tōsu's heart gradually grew fervent.
If they could recreate the Wood Style Kekkei Genkai, their Senju would surely return to their peak.
"Stop dreaming. Even Second Grandfather couldn't succeed back then. He even had to terminate and seal the experiment, leaving most of the research data with Grandmother for safekeeping. Do you think we can achieve the Wood Style plan with our abilities?"
Tsunade retorted without mercy, not believing they could complete a plan that even their Second Grandfather couldn't.
She had seen the small portion of Wood Style experimental data that remained and was certain that the plan was simply impossible to succeed.
Wood Style was too powerful; it was impossible for ordinary people to bear it, even for their Senju Clan. Several clan members had sacrificed their lives back then.
"I'm not referring to the Wood Style Kekkei Tōta that Great Uncle possessed later in his life, but the Wood Style Kekkei Genkai he had in his youth.
That Kekkei Tōta Wood Style was too powerful for us to replicate, but what about the Kekkei Genkai level?"
Voicing his thoughts, Senju Tōsu was very invested in the Wood Style plan this time.
Previously, hearing the little brat's analysis of Wood Style from Tsunade had enlightened him, and he had set his sights on the Kekkei Genkai level of Wood Style.
The success rate of recreating the Kekkei Tōta Wood Style was indeed close to zero, but surely the success rate for the Kekkei Genkai Wood Style, which was one level weaker, would be quite high!
"I need the data that Grandmother sealed for analysis!"
After a slight hesitation, Tsunade found herself intrigued.
Kekkei Genkai could be transplanted. During the Warring States Period, their Senju Clan had acquired many Sharingan from their battles with the Uchiha Clan, and some ancestors had even transplanted the Sharingan into themselves.
Although the consumption was astonishingly high, they could indeed use the Sharingan.
It was precisely based on this that their grand-uncle had initiated the Wood Style Reconstruction Plan back then; at least, it was theoretically feasible.
"Leave this to me!"
Gritting his teeth, Senju Tōsu decided to take a gamble. This was all for the sake of the clan!
Receiving his uncle's affirmative response, Tsunade no longer concerned herself with the matter. She raised her hand, formed a hand seal, and created a Shadow Clone, taking the Sealed Item Scroll to the Death Forest.
A Shadow Clone couldn't be maintained for long. Every twelve hours, she would create a new Shadow Clone to replace the previous one, while her main body received the memories of the prior clone.
It was precisely because of this that her main body knew about that perverted brat's theories on Wood Style.
"Miss Mito!"
Sniffing the familiar faint fragrance from the Sealed Item Scroll in his hand, Shimura Kentei guessed that it was from Miss Mito.
It had been abruptly thrown in earlier, likely the work of Tsunade's Shadow Clone.
He unrolled the Sealed Item Scroll and stimulated the sealing formula on the cover with his Chakra. A puff of mist dispersed, revealing two scrolls, one large and one small.
"Eight Trigrams Seal, Miss Mito is very efficient!"
His gaze first fell upon the larger scroll. The cover was inscribed with the words "Eight Trigrams Seal," clearly a cultivation method for the Eight Trigrams Seal written by Miss Mito herself.
His gaze shifted to the other, smaller scroll, which he unrolled. Inside was a sealing formula with a "Shadow" character at its core.
"Shadow Clone?"
Lost in thought, Shimura Kentei didn't hesitate. He used his Chakra to activate the Chakra formula on it. Another puff of mist exploded outwards, revealing a graceful figure. Who else could it be but Uzumaki Mito?
Of course, this was just a Shadow Clone, not her main body.
"Miss, why are you here?"
His face lit up with joy, while inwardly he secretly speculated on the reason for her visit.
"Don't speak, this clone of mine won't last long."
After a brief instruction, Uzumaki Mito's Shadow Clone activated the seal on her body. A Chakra chain extended from within her, darting towards Shimura Kentei's abdomen and entering his Eight Trigrams Seal.
"I'm giving you a life-saving ultimate technique. You can only use it once, so don't use it unless absolutely necessary!"
After the chain had fully entered the Eight Trigrams Seal, Uzumaki Mito's Shadow Clone reached its limit. She left behind a parting sentence before dispersing into mist.
"Adamantine Sealing Chains!"
Shimura Kentei's joy intensified. He understood that the battle suit he had promised to Senju Nawaki was now effective.
After spending those two days together, he had come to know that young lady quite well; she was a very kind and upright person.
As the old saying goes, a gentleman can be easily deceived. For someone like Uzumaki Mito, one could simply state their intentions directly, and even without saying anything, she would show sufficient consideration.
It was like how, for truly principled people, the debtor is more anxious to repay the debt than the creditor.
The young lady clearly disliked owing others. She had obviously remembered her promise to create a priceless battle suit for Nawaki, that subordinate of hers, which was why she had brought this Adamantine Sealing Chain.
This was a super weapon capable of restraining even a complete Nine-Tails. Used well, it could save one's life, or even kill an enemy.
"A good thing, but too good. It's best not to have to use it!"
Satisfied, Shimura Kentei gently caressed his lower abdomen where the Eight Trigrams Seal was located. He knew very well that this was the young lady's gift to save his life, and it could only be used once.
As she had said, it was best not to use it unless in a critical situation, otherwise, using such a powerful weapon like a cannon to swat a fly would be a waste of this great killing tool.
However, it could only be used once in reality, but in the Black Cauldron Space, it could be used countless times.
Emerging from the stone cave, Shimura Kentei saw the gradually appearing dawn sky in the east. He leaped down, washed his face simply with stored water, and then began preparing breakfast.
Although it was wilderness survival training, the quality of life couldn't be compromised, especially when it came to food.
Not to mention that those two girls were practicing the Body Strengthening Technique and needed all sorts of nutritional supplements to replenish their expended energy; this aspect couldn't be neglected either.
It was a pity that he was only a qualified foodie. Although the food he made wasn't bad, it was far from comparable to the culinary skills of Uncle Lu and the others.
Fortunately, Hyuga Suzune and Uchiha Mikoto were not delicate individuals and quickly finished the breakfast he had prepared.
"To what level have you trained your tree climbing and water walking techniques?"
After eating their fill, Shimura Kentei asked, intending to gauge their current abilities before formulating a Chakra control training plan based on their progress.
"Do those two techniques even have different levels?"
Uchiha Mikoto cast a curious glance. She was getting to know this scoundrel better and understood that what he said was likely another new concept from the Shimura Clan.
"So, you mean that after learning to climb trees and walk on water, you haven't practiced them further?"
Rubbing his forehead, Shimura Kentei had a general understanding of the girls' foundations. While not bad, they weren't particularly good either.
The two girls blinked their bright eyes and remained silent, simply staring and waiting for Shimura Kentei's instruction.
"The training of chakra control has no end; theoretically, one can continue training indefinitely. Like this, I will demonstrate for you."
After speaking, Danzō Shimura took off his heavy gold battle boots, stepped onto a nearby large tree barefoot, and walked upwards along the trunk, eventually hanging upside down from a thick branch.
"Do you see any difference in my tree climbing?"
Looking down at the two little lolis below, Danzō Shimura asked, while secretly regretting.
This angle was quite powerful, perfectly allowing him to see the necklines of the two little lolis. It was a pity that they were just little lolis, offering no benefits at all.
"Battle Suit!"
After observing for a moment with a frown, Mikoto's bright eyes widened as her gaze landed on Danzō Shimura's battle suit, as if she understood something.
Hyuga Suzune beside her also reacted, her face filled with disbelief.
