Ninja World Cultivation Plan

The wooden tendrils slowly tightened like pythons, but Shimura Kentei didn't care, as he was wearing his Battle Suit.

It wouldn't be easy to crush this thing, at least not with these tendrils. It would be more like it if Senju Hashirama were here using his Wood Style.

"Let's see who can outlast whom!"

With a cold chuckle, Shimura Kentei ignored the tendrils wrapped around him. He held his breath, lowered his heart rate, and minimized his oxygen consumption.

The pollen here was extremely dense, putting a lot of pressure on the air filters. He couldn't last long without careful calculation.

As for the wooden tendrils, he didn't take them to heart. After all, his Battle Suit was equipped with numerous Sealing Crystals, and their radiation was extremely harmful to objects with energy.

Unfortunately, these wooden tendrils contained extremely strong life force. Even though the quality of this life force was high, it would still be affected by the radiation and wouldn't last long.

As long as he persisted, he would eventually emerge victorious.

However, others didn't think so. The Shimura ninja who had been secretly protecting him rushed forward as soon as he saw the flower tree's bloom close, quickly forming hand seals.

"Wind Release: Vacuum Wave!"

Sharp streams of Wind Release flowed from his mouth, cutting at the petals like a chainsaw.

But this was the most vital part of the entire flower tree, and its hardness was astonishing. The Vacuum Wave left not even a scratch on it.

This scene caused the Shimura ninja to pause for a moment before he decisively pulled out a signal flare and ignited it, sending a smoke signal into the sky.

It was a signal unique to their Shimura Clan.

"That direction, Kentei is in trouble!"

In the Shimura Clan's territory, Shimura Keiko looked up at the distant signal flare, immediately dropped the Sealing Crystal she was using for training, picked up her Bright Silver Spear, and rushed out.

It wasn't just Shimura Keiko who moved; Danzō Shimura also took action and summoned all the clan's Jonin to the Death Forest.

He knew the value of that son very well. Even if the Shimura Clan's elites were wiped out, they couldn't let him come to any harm.

At the same time, he cursed Tsunade as useless for not being able to protect someone.

At the same moment, Tsunade's Shadow Clone, located inside the Death Forest, saw the signal and realized something had happened. She first sent out a Shadow Clone to investigate, then dispelled herself, using the clone's characteristics to transmit the information back to her main body.

As a Shadow Clone, her strength was limited, at most capable of fighting at the Special Jonin level. Now, she could only ask her main body to handle it.

This wasn't the end of it. The major ninja clans in Konoha were familiar with the Shimura Clan's signals. Upon seeing the signal from the Death Forest, they all became curious and sent people to investigate.

In addition, the Hyuga and Uchiha clans also dispatched powerful individuals to the Death Forest.

They still had people training there!

The Death Forest was adjacent to Konoha's wall and not far away. At the speed of a Jonin, it only took about ten minutes to reach the edge of the central area.

Danzō Shimura, who arrived first, met with the other Shimura ninja and learned the whole story.

"You're saying Kentei entered the flower tree?"

Standing on top of the tree, Danzō Shimura looked thoughtfully at the flower tree shrouded in dense pollen in the distance, estimating that his son had likely discovered something inside the flower tree, otherwise, he wouldn't have risked entering.

"Yes, young master stood on the petals for a while before leaping into the flower tree. Then the flower quickly closed, trapping young master inside."

The Shimura ninja replied with a bow.

"Bring the isolation suit. The others stay here to provide support and prevent anyone else from approaching. If anyone forces their way in, kill them without mercy!"

Taking an isolation suit from a subordinate behind him, Danzō Shimura gave the order filled with killing intent, then personally entered the central area.

Shimura Keiko also put on a specially made isolation suit and entered the central area, but she wasn't too worried.

Although she lacked confidence in her younger man's strength, she had full confidence in that Battle Suit. He would be safe from any mortal danger for the time being.

Moving quickly, he soon arrived at the top of the flower tree. After testing the hardness of the flower, Danzō Shimura decisively gave up on trying to open it there and instead focused his attention on the connection between the flower and the trunk.

While the flower was indeed indestructible, the dried-up trunk below was not.

"Wind Release: Vacuum Barrage!"

Raising his hand to form seals, streams of Wind Release were sprayed out, rapidly cutting at the flower tree's trunk.

As a True Kage Level expert, especially one proficient in Wind Release, Danzō Shimura's strength was unquestionable. A single Vacuum Barrage cut nearly half of the trunk, which had a diameter of over ten meters.

Seeing that he couldn't cut it with one blow, Danzō Shimura frowned slightly, then unleashed another wave of Vacuum Barrage, which finally severed the thick trunk, causing the entire giant bud to fall downwards.

"Summoning Jutsu!"

As the bud fell, Danzō Shimura leaped onto it, formed hand seals, and slammed his palm down.

A burst of mist scattered, revealing a colossal creature.

"Baku, take this thing back. I'll summon you again in an hour!"

Danzō Shimura quickly instructed his summoned beast. Baku nodded, wrapped the giant flower beneath it with its own Chakra, then dispelled the summoning jutsu, taking it back to its lair.

He didn't know what his son had discovered in the flower tree, but it was bound to be a rare treasure.

He understood the principle of not flaunting wealth and needed to be wary, especially of the Senju Clan and the Hyuga Clan with their Byakugan.

After all, this flower tree was a product of Wood Style, and any treasures born within it were likely related to Wood Style. The Senju Clan would never give up on that.

Returning to the ground, Danzō Shimura and the other two joined forces, using Wind Release and Fire Release to set the dried-up flower tree ablaze, destroying the evidence as much as possible.

Watching the flames completely engulf the giant flower tree, they returned to the edge of the central area and found that people from various clans had indeed arrived.

Danzō Shimura, maintaining his cool, aloof, god-like demeanor, ignored everyone and led the clan elites back to the village.

The ninjas from various clans, left waiting for nothing, looked at the large fire raging in the central area. They exchanged glances, not understanding what had happened, yet not daring to stop Danzō Shimura to ask.

They hadn't expected Danzō Shimura to personally mobilize. As they weren't clan leaders, they had no right to approach and question him, only able to watch the Shimura clan members leave.

"Where's that little pervert?"

Tsunade, standing nearby, frowned. She hadn't spotted her cheap disciple, which puzzled her greatly.

Setting aside the many confused ninjas, Danzō Shimura, upon returning to the clan grounds, took his daughter-in-law, Keiko Shimura, to the massive underground base beneath the clan's territory and activated the sealing barrier inscribed around it.

After completing a series of preparations, he finally formed hand seals.

A cloud of mist dissipated, revealing the flower bud that had been taken away earlier, with the Baku still clinging to it.

The Baku was now incapacitated from inhaling a considerable amount of pollen.

Fortunately, this pollen only had a paralyzing effect on the nerves and was not fatal; it would disappear in a few days.

Without hesitation, Danzō Shimura formed hand seals again and used Wind Release ninjutsu to cut at the flower bud.

Although he knew the kid protected by the Battle Suit wouldn't be harmed, being trapped for too long could still be dangerous, so he had to rescue him quickly.

After toiling for a full two hours, cutting through three layers of petals, he finally saw Kentei Shimura bound inside.

"Pfft!"

Seeing her young husband's embarrassing pose, Keiko Shimura couldn't help but laugh.

At the same time, the power of the tendrils finally ran out. Kentei Shimura broke free from the wooden tendrils wrapped around him and emerged from the flower bud.

"Couldn't you have waited a bit longer?"

He complained resentfully, Kentei Shimura was very unhappy about being seen in that embarrassing state just now.

His reputation as Kentei!

"A fruit?"

Ignoring his son's complaints, Danzō Shimura looked at the huge fruit inside through the opening he had dug, appearing somewhat stunned.

He had once ventured close to the flower tree on a flying ninja beast. At that time, there was nothing inside the flower, only stamens and pollen. He hadn't expected a fruit to appear this time.

This discovery made him praise his own foresight. Fortunately, he had let the Baku take it away directly, preventing the Hyuga and Senju clans from discovering it. Otherwise, with the Senju clan applying pressure, they wouldn't be able to protect this treasure.

Just then, the cut flower petals healed themselves, quickly returning to their original state. Fortunately, the flower bud itself also bloomed, revealing the fruit within.

Kentei Shimura leaped into the flower bud again, swung his sword to cut down the fruit, and while removing his gauntlet to scan its data, he voiced his thoughts.

"Dad, there should be a seed inside this thing. See if you can get it to grow? I have some ideas that need to be verified using this."

After seeing this thing earlier, he had a bold idea. If it succeeded, the profits would be immense.

"It can't be cultivated in the village; it has to be taken back to the original clan grounds to be planted!"

Danzō Shimura replied indifferently. He was very tempted by this suggestion. If he could personally cultivate a flower tree, it would undoubtedly allow them to glimpse the mysteries of Wood Style, making its value immeasurable.

Moreover, the flesh of this fruit was also extraordinary, containing immense vitality, making it an equally priceless treasure.

They had truly struck it rich this time!

"Did you get the Sage Talent inheritance from the Temple of Fire?"

After touching the entire flower tree fruit, Kentei Shimura asked.

He had been eyeing the Sage Talent from the Temple of Fire for a long time. Especially after confirming from a scroll in the Senju secret archives that the Sage Talent was indeed related to Nature Energy, he had asked Uncle Lu to invite his father to help find a way to obtain the Temple of Fire's inheritance.

This was a crucial step in his future cultivation, and he couldn't afford to be careless!

"Go ask Keiko!"

Danzō Shimura said indifferently after sealing the flower tree fruit in a scroll. He then turned to leave.

He urgently needed to study this flower tree fruit and didn't have time to waste here.

He, Danzō, was earning tens of thousands of Ryo per minute!

"Sigh! Why is he so cold?"

Kentei Shimura sighed as he watched his father's retreating figure.

He also wished for a touching scene of fatherly love, but his father was very uncooperative. Ever since he could remember, his father had maintained a cool, god-like handsome face and had never smiled.

But then again, a loving father image didn't fit the persona of that Pot Kage father. If he were to put on a loving father expression, he would feel uncomfortable.

"Sister Keiko!"

Collecting his thoughts, Kentei Shimura looked at his fiancée beside him and gestured for her to quickly retrieve the Temple of Fire's inheritance.

After transmigrating to this world, he had a very bold idea, which he named the Ninja World Cultivation Plan. The secret art of Sage Talent from the Temple of Fire was a crucial part of the plan. If the Ninja World Cultivation Plan could be successfully initiated, not to mention long-term benefits, even the initial stage could effectively alleviate or even overcome the predicament of having little Chakra.
