Tsunade, You Useless Little Weakling~

Yamanaka Kei was a hundred percent dissatisfied with this Entry Draw.

If he did not still have an Entry Copy opportunity, he would probably have demonstrated exactly what "foul-mouthed ranting" meant to the System on the spot.

Compared to the previous several Entry Draws—

This time, not a single entry could improve his strength.

Was this not just screwing with his mindset?

"...Looks like I can't count on Entry Draws in the future."

Yamanaka Kei sighed inwardly and temporarily pushed those frustrating entries to the back of his mind.

Listening to Kushina and Tsunade whispering in the living room, he swiftly worked through the ingredients in his hands.

He had always been well aware of his own shortcomings.

At present, he did not lack powerful offensive methods.

His master-level Yin Release and Water Release allowed him to nearly instantly kill the vast majority of ordinary jonin.

Even if he encountered several well-coordinated jonin squads—

With the incredible mobility provided by the Flying Thunder God Technique, he could easily crush them.

The only thing he needed to consider was whether he had enough Chakra.

So, there was no need to say what type of entry he should copy.

He had already seen quite a few entries that could increase Chakra.

Nine-Tailed Jinchuriki, Nine Great Demonic Powers, Abundant Power, Overflowing Power, Energy Storage...

The strongest among them was naturally the Nine-Tailed Jinchuriki.

As the strongest Tailed Beast, the Nine-Tails could do far too many things.

Not even counting Baryon Mode from that unburnable thing, just Perfect Jinchuriki Mode alone was enough to make people drool with envy!

But he had seen the corrosive nature of Nine-Tails Chakra with his own eyes.

Without the Uzumaki Clan's powerful life force, an ordinary person becoming the Nine-Tailed Jinchuriki was practically suicide!

And to become a Perfect Jinchuriki, one not only needed the strength to suppress it, but also had to completely open one's heart to the Tailed Beast.

He was the kind of person who would factory-reset his phone before dying. Just thinking about it made it obvious that was impossible.

Not to mention that he was now a transmigrator.

Open his heart to a Tailed Beast?

Give him a break!

Then there were the Nine Great Demonic Powers.

The Nine-Tails was a special Chakra life-form.

If Yamanaka Kei dared to copy that entry, he would turn into a Chakra life-form in minutes.

Was he supposed to be like Dio and yell, "I reject my humanity, JoJo!"

He was still a virgin in this life, damn it!

As for the only remaining purple entry, Abundant Power...

Well...

He should copy it from Honoka instead!

Abundant Power (Purple): The powerful bloodline of the Uzumaki Clan grants vigorous life force and abundant Chakra. Cell vitality, life force, and Chakra reserves are greatly increased; maximum lifespan is increased; physical strength is slightly increased.

The strength of the Uzumaki Clan bloodline was beyond doubt.

Obtaining this entry was basically equivalent to obtaining the Uzumaki Clan's bloodline.

He did not know whether his hair would turn red.

But the bloodline within his body would definitely undergo some changes.

If Yamanaka Kei's girlfriend had not been Kushina Uzumaki, he would have copied it from her without a second thought.

But given the current situation, his copying target could only be Honoka.

Fortunately, Honoka and Kushina had long since ceased to be close relatives.

Otherwise... reinforced bones? Unyielding bones?

That would have been a little too awkward.

"Fuck! Tsunade, you useless little weakling! Couldn't you have gotten a Sage Body? He was your own grandfather, so why didn't you inherit anything good?"

Yamanaka Kei grumbled about Tsunade inwardly while stir-frying.

Of all things to inherit from Hashirama Senju, she inherited gambling—and the kind where she lost every bet.

It was simply outrageous!

If Tsunade had a Sage Body, he would not even spare Abundant Power a glance, okay?

After grumbling for a while, Yamanaka Kei still felt somewhat regretful.

Judging by Orochimaru's progress in researching the Reanimation Jutsu in the original story, he would have to wait at least another decade or so before seeing Hashirama Senju.

And who knew whether Hashirama Senju's entries would still include that one after being brought back by the Reanimation Jutsu.

After all, people revived through the Reanimation Jutsu did not possess flesh-and-blood bodies, but bodies of impure soil.

At this stage, if he wanted to obtain a Sage Body

It seemed there was only...

Madara Uchiha?

Regardless of any influence from Asura or Indra's power—

Madara Uchiha had indeed awakened the Rinnegan after obtaining Hashirama Senju's power.

That meant there was a high probability that he also possessed a Sage Body at this stage.

"Who knows where that old scene-kid is hiding!"

Yamanaka Kei muttered as he quickly plated the stir-fried dish from the wok.

Just as he was about to cook the next dish, someone suddenly came to mind.

Yamato!

Although Yamato's Wood Release in the original story was somewhat unworthy of Hashirama Senju's title as the God of Shinobi

During the Fourth Shinobi World War, under the control of White Zetsu Tobi, Yamato had certainly made his presence known.

His Wood Golem Technique, capable of firing all five elemental releases, was ridiculously fierce.

Could he possibly...

All right, probably not.

Otherwise, that saying from his previous life would never have existed: "The First Hokage used Wood Release to conquer the world; Yamato used Wood Release for landscaping."

The one with the special constitution should have been that White Zetsu called Tobi.

However, Yamato seemed to have already undergone cell transplantation at this point?

Yamanaka Kei recalled the timeline from the original story.

Shimura Danzo and Orochimaru secretly selected sixty infants and implanted them with Hashirama Cells, but abandoned the project after the Test Subjects died one after another.

Yamato, deemed a "failure," had luckily survived and was discovered by Shimura Danzo.

By the age of ten, he had already completed Root training and become a Root member codenamed Kou.

He was then assigned by Danzo to help Orochimaru defect.

At ten, Orochimaru defected. Counting backward, Yamato should be three or four years old now?

"I wonder if Danzo has taken him away yet."

Yamanaka Kei's gaze flickered.

Based on his deduction, Wood Release and the Sage Body were very likely two separate entries.

Whether Yamato had a Sage Body or not, he definitely possessed Wood Release.

If he could get Yamato under his control ahead of time—

If he got another Entry Copy opportunity, could he try copying Wood Release?

Heh heh heh~!

Madara, do you want to see Hashirama's Sage Art: Wood Release: True Several Thousand Hands: Top Transformed Buddha one more time?

"After I visit the Scroll Chamber tomorrow, I'll go check the Intelligence Division and the Ancient Library first..."

A faint smile curled Yamanaka Kei's lips.

Though most of the time, imagination was beautiful while reality was cruel—

A person still had to have dreams, did they not?

After going to the Hokage Building's Scroll Chamber tomorrow and selecting the two Ninjutsu the Third Hokage had previously promised him—

He would check out the Intelligence Division and Ancient Library.

What if he could find information on Madara Uchiha's hiding place, the Mountain Graveyard?

As for Yamato

Hardly anyone likely knew the current location of the Wood Release research base from back then.

And those who did know would never tell him.

Yamanaka Kei reviewed some plot details within his Memory Palace.

When he saw the scene where the Third Hokage confronted Shimura Danzo with an investigation report and forcibly halted the Wood Release research, joy surged through him!

Such documents would definitely have been sealed away as top secret afterward.

Others might not be able to access them at all, but he had connections in the Hokage Building!

"Nara Shikaku! I choose you!"
