Proving My Unwavering Loyalty to Lord Danzō!

The Root training grounds.

Akihara Kagura watched Danzō Shimura intently.

His superior wanted to teach him new Wood Style Ninjutsu and was meticulously explaining the jutsu's origin. "This jutsu is called Wood Style: Deep Forest Emergence. It originates from Konoha's First Hokage, Hashirama Senju, and requires a massive amount of chakra..."

Theoretically, there was no need to preserve this Wood Style Ninjutsu.

This was because the First Hokage Hashirama Senju's bloodline had not been passed down.

However, at the request of the Second Hokage Tobirama Senju, the First Hokage Hashirama Senju had recorded all his secret Wood Style techniques in Konoha's Scroll of Seals, awaiting a new Wood Style bloodline successor in Konoha.

Danzō Shimura had naturally seen the Scroll of Seals.

Unfortunately, because Danzō Shimura was not the Hokage, the Scroll of Seals could only be kept by successive Hokage. Danzō Shimura could only memorize the Wood Style jutsu within it.

"Kano, watch closely."

Danzō Shimura spread his hands, opened his fingers, and then slowly closed them, forming the Snake hand seal. "This jutsu only requires forming the Snake hand seal... to directly activate the chakra within your body..."

"Wood Style: Deep Forest Emergence!"

Danzō Shimura let out a sudden low shout!

Akihara Kagura was startled by Danzō Shimura's voice!

However...

Nothing happened.

The training grounds fell silent again.

A crow leisurely flew across the sky.

Danzō Shimura possessed neither the Wood Style bloodline nor a massive amount of chakra, so naturally, nothing would happen.

"Alright."

Danzō Shimura felt no embarrassment whatsoever, returning to his usual composed demeanor. "I have taught you this jutsu. Now, you try it!"

"..."

Akihara Kagura's eyelids twitched.

Wasn't this teaching method a bit too abstract!

Why did this person pretend to form a hand seal, tell him the jutsu was called [Wood Style: Deep Forest Emergence], and expect him to be able to unleash the jutsu of the Ninja God?

[Alright, you already know 1+1 equals 2. Now, let's prove one of the world's three major conjectures, Goldbach's Conjecture!]

What a joke!

Unless this person could cheat!

[System Notification]: [Ninja Professor] trait activated. The host possesses the Wood Style bloodline, and their chakra level has reached SSS-rank. The currently learned [Wood Style: Deep Forest Emergence] conforms to ninjutsu theory. [Wood Style: Deep Forest Emergence] learning successful.

[System Notification]: You have acquired a new skill: [Wood Style: Deep Forest Emergence].

[Wood Style: Deep Forest Emergence (A secret Wood Style Kekkei Genkai technique. The user uses their own chakra as a source of life, rapidly growing trees from the ground to instantly transform the environment into a forest. All trees within the forest can be controlled by the user to attack enemies, and it is easier to cast other Wood Style ninjutsu with the help of the forest.)]

Akihara Kagura mimicked Danzō Shimura, slowly closing his palms. The chakra within his body surged, and a childish, low shout came from the boy's throat!

"Wood Style: Deep Forest Emergence!"

The grass on the training ground began to tremble!

Thick tree roots suddenly burst from the ground, rapidly growing into towering trees, transforming the entire training ground into an ancient forest!

"This..."

Danzō Shimura's eyes widened involuntarily!

Even though Danzō Shimura had held hope for Akihara Kagura, he hadn't expected this little guy to learn such a powerful jutsu so quickly!

What a joke!

Orochimaru hadn't lied this time!

This kid's Wood Style talent, judging solely by the Deep Forest Emergence jutsu, was clearly more powerful than the previous Wood Style bloodline successor. Danzō Shimura's heart warmed, and the hope of seizing the position of Hokage reignited!

"Lord Danzō..."

Akihara Kagura turned his head, looking at the elder's shocked face, seemingly a little uneasy. "Did... did I ruin the training grounds? Did I cause trouble... If someone discovers the training grounds have been destroyed, will it cause you trouble?"

"No!"

Danzō Shimura quickly shook his head, a smile appearing on his lips. It was rare for him to praise his subordinate. "Kano, you did very well! It's just a training ground. Starting today, this will be your training ground alone!"

"..."

I'm not asking about that!

Akihara Kagura couldn't help but want to complain internally.

He had caused such a huge commotion not just for Danzō Shimura!

Besides making his new superior recognize his talent, he also wanted to see if he could cause a little trouble for Lord Danzō...

After all, using such powerful chakra within Konoha Village, he wondered if the Third Hokage would notice? Would it attract the Third Hokage Hiruzen Sarutobi?

After all, a Wood Release ninja with such powerful talent should cause a bit of new conflict between his old friends, Hiruzen Sarutobi and Danzō!

Danzō Shimura also thought of this.

This child just unleashed such powerful chakra, won't the Monkey discover it?

Danzō Shimura's expression was somewhat unpleasant, as if he were grinding his teeth. He had to guard against Hiruzen Sarutobi; that damn old Monkey always snatched his things!

Immediately set up a sealing barrier in this training ground to prevent Hiruzen Sarutobi from discovering that he had obtained another Wood Release ninja, and even an unexpected Wood Release genius!

Besides this...

Danzō Shimura's gaze also fell on Akihara Kagura.

This child...

Will become very strong in the future!

He will definitely become Konoha's most useful tool in the future!

Right now, this child listens to him very well and is very close to him, even more loyal and pure than Aburame Ryoma. A ten-year-old child doesn't have many complex thoughts...

At this age...

It's easy for people to instill ideas.

A simple curse mark can control a person's actions, but not their thoughts. He must think of a way to make this child forever loyal to him...

Inside the Root training grounds.

The young boy and the old man had different thoughts.

Akihara Kagura secretly activated the trait of [Shadow of the Ninja World].

Whenever he needed information, the [Shadow of the Ninja World] trait would store the relevant information in his brain in video format.

A picture appeared inside Akihara Kagura's brain.

Akihara Kagura wanted to investigate information about the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, to see what this Hokage was doing, whether he had discovered a genius waiting for him at the Root training grounds, whether he had discovered that Danzō was plotting something again, and whether he was interested in coming to cause some trouble for Danzō...

As Danzō's subordinate...

He must find a way to create more trouble for Danzō...

Only when Danzō encounters many troubles will he have the opportunity to prove to Danzō how loyal he is...

Good morning!

My glasses are broken!

I'm going to get new glasses!
