Tsunade frowned and asked, "Then what about you and my grandfather? Did you two revert to your ancestral ways?"

Shazo grinned and said, "I don't know about the First Hokage's situation, but I'm definitely not a case of atavism."

"I achieved this through research on Chakra and Ninjutsu, using the power of knowledge to trace back to the source of Chakra, and through my own efforts, I Kekkei Tōta my Wood Release Kekkei Genkai to Wood Release Tota."

"In fact, the vast majority of Kekkei Genkai in the Ninja World are the result of the hard work and research of geniuses throughout the ages. It is only through gradual accumulation that these dozen or so Kekkei Genkai come to be."

Tsunade felt very comfortable at this moment, and her fatigue had eased. It was a moment of Mind Stone clarity, also known as the legendary Sage Time.

Her mind became exceptionally sharp, and she sensed the unspoken meaning in Shazo's words: "You mean most of them"—are there still Kekkei Genkai that weren't developed by Ninja themselves?

Shazo glanced at Tsunade in surprise and said approvingly, "That's right, there are three types of Kekkei Genkai in the Ninja World, which are essentially higher-level existences than Kekkei Tōta."

"It's not even an ability that can be obtained retroactively through Chakra fusion."

Tsunade exclaimed in surprise, "Three kinds? Could it be—"

Shazo held up a finger. "Byakugan, Sharingan, Shikotsumyaku, and also the Kekkei Genkai I want to obtain next."

Tsunade was even more surprised. She opened her mouth slightly and said, "How could it be these three? Why don't they have the Rinnegan?"

"I learned this from Jiraiya. Nagato, who was once the leader of the Amegakure in the Land of Rain, now possesses a pair of Rinnegan, and they perfectly match the description of a higher-level being you mentioned."

Shazo fell silent; he was considering and weighing his options.

Would telling Tsunade more secrets pose a danger to her, and would it also harm myself?

It's been over a year since Tsunade used medicine to subdue Shazo.

Despite Tsunade's arrogance at the time, declaring that she would take responsibility for Shazo, she acted like a wicked woman who forcibly took a laborer from the countryside.

But as time went on, her relationship with Shazo returned to the normal dynamic of a stronger man and a weaker woman.

The blossoming of love, like a Kogarashi tree coming back to life, revived Tsunade's heart, and she unknowingly became entangled with the Fifth Hokage.

Tsunade's natural sensitivity as a woman, coupled with her rich experience nearing fifty, allowed Tsunade to quickly deepen her understanding of Shazo, even surpassing her understanding of his fiancée Uchiha Izumi, in some aspects.

Therefore, Shazo's sudden silence made Tsunade realize that she had inadvertently asked about a very important, very secretive, and possibly very dangerous secret.

Her heart raced slightly, and she couldn't help but feel nervous.

After a few anxious minutes of waiting, Tsunade finally received Shazo's decision.

He said in a deep voice, "Princess Tsunade (a respectful nickname), you must keep what I'm about to say a secret as much as possible. Only when I'm around, or when Orochimaru is around, must you never utter it."

"Especially Jiraiya, he absolutely cannot know."

Tsunade nodded obediently. "Shazo, don't worry, I know what's important."

Shazo Zuo nodded, reached out and pulled the blonde beauty into his arms. After she got closer to him, he used his Chakra to block out the sound around them before slowly speaking.

His first words made Tsunade's eyes widen in surprise.

"I don't consider the Rinnegan a Kekkei Genkai because the final form of the Sharingan is the Rinnegan."

"The Uchiha Clan's Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan, combined with the Senju Clan's physique, has the potential to develop into the Rinnegan."

"The Byakugan can also advance like the Sharingan, but it advances directly to one of the Jōgan, Tenseigan, or Rinnegan."

"The Shikotsumyaku can also advance, evolving from simple bone strengthening, rapid bone growth, and body Self-Healing into a terrifying bone that kills upon contact."

Tsunade felt her mind buzzing, and she was completely unable to think. Like an adorable little hamster, she stared blankly at her lover.

Because it was so cute, Shazo couldn't resist taking a bite, which quickly dispelled Tsunade's "Stiffness" state and elicited a series of coquettish cries.

Four hours later, Tsunade was taken back to her room and lay down on her bed.

Shazo had cleaned her up and made her look refreshed, and she had changed into new pajamas. She finally regained some of her energy.

However, Tsunade's body has not yet returned to normal.

She had overeaten this time, and now she felt soreness in her lower back, back, and legs.

This is a problem caused by climbing to the summit too quickly and for too long, resulting in exhaustion.

For a master like Tsunade, recovery would only take an hour or two.

But at this moment, her mind was in turmoil. She was shocked to hear such a huge secret for the first time, felt wronged by Shazo's "Sneak Attack" in the chaos, and felt the pleasure of reaching the peak. She didn't even have time to recover her body.

At this moment, Tsunade clearly understood just how terrifying the secret that Shazo had mentioned was.

They revealed so much, including the final battle between his grandfather and Madara Uchiha, Madara's feigned death and escape, and the terrifying power and conspiracies of Nagato of Amegakure.

In the coming years, the entire Ninja World will be engulfed by the enormous waves involved in this secret, and an unprecedented war may even break out.

Tsunade is a veteran Kage-level Ninja, but she is also a woman, and naturally has a strong aversion to war.

If she were left with no one to rely on, she would surely stand up, shoulder the responsibility of Konoha, bravely face the war, and fight to the very end with her own fists.

Luck, she now has someone to rely on.

He was a very young but ambitious man, a leader with sharp eyes who possessed countless secrets, the strongest and invincible Ninja in the Ninja World, and the Fifth Hokage Shazo.

Thinking of her lover, Tsunade suddenly felt less panicked.

Then she began to feel unwell.

Tsunade used her Medical Ninjutsu to soothe her aches and pains, and feeling her exhaustion, she drifted into a sweet dream.

After Tsunade, Shazo Zuo went to see Orochimaru.

Orochimaru immediately said upon meeting him, "Fifth Hokage, I cannot complete your mission."

Shazo asked curiously, "Why? What problem have you encountered?"

The reason he assigned this task to Orochimaru was because Orochimaru "had practical experience".

In the original history, it was Orochimaru who designed and launched the "Konoha Crush Plan," which allowed the Third Hokage to be buried as the Superstar, while simultaneously crippling the Sunagakure.

Why can't we do it now?

Orochimaru explained helplessly, "Actually, I've devised several plans, but they're all stuck on a problem that's completely unsolvable."

"Fifth Hokage, your strength is too great, and your achievements are too dazzling."

"I simply cannot imagine how deranged the Fourth Kazekage must be to think he could defeat you or withstand your subsequent retaliation."

"As long as Rasa doesn't want to die, he will never consider any plan to attack Konoha."

Shazo thought about it and realized that the problem was indeed very tricky, but he also noticed that Orochimaru's eyes did not show any frustration, but instead gleamed with a cunning light.

He smiled, "Orochimaru, I think you already have a plan that can be executed."

"Tell me, what do you want?"

Orochimaru first feigned a smile and praised, "As expected of the Fifth Hokage, your insight is truly exceptional; nothing escapes your notice."

Then his expression changed, and he said seriously, "I want to make contact with the Akatsuki, and then use Nagato's Rinnegan, or Madara Uchiha's name, to make the Fourth Kazekage think that there is hope of defeating you."

Shazo agreed without hesitation, "No problem, this is a very good idea, I approve."

Orochimaru wasn't surprised at all, and then, with a drooling look, made his request. "I want the Fifth's ' Cloning Technology Compendium,' the whole set of techniques."

Shazo looked enlightened, but he still readily agreed, "Sure, the ' Cloning Technology Compendium '..."

Consider it an additional task reward.

Orochimaru excitedly stuck out his tongue and praised, "As expected of the Fifth Hokage! I will do my best to complete the mission."

Ever since he subdued Orochimaru and confined him to Konoha, Shazo had been making deliberate preparations.

Orochimaru is a proud and arrogant scientist; he cannot be controlled by force alone, as that would easily backfire.

To calm Orochimaru down, besides using violence as a prerequisite, the first step is to appeal to his emotions and rebuild his bond with the village.

Uchiha Sasuke an apprentice, Tsunade's all-out treatment of Kimimaro, Tsunade Kabuto Yakushi and Shazo to achieve this goal.

Secondly, they needed to offer something that could attract Orochimaru. Shazo specifically shared Biotechnology with Shazo from the Star Trek World.

On the battlefields of Star Trek World, high-energy radiation reaches extremely high levels, and Mechanical Soldiers with inadequate protection will be damaged in just a few seconds.

However, the price of those well-protected Mechanical Soldiers was beyond the production capacity of the Galactic Federation.

Therefore, Clone Soldiers, capable of "healthily" surviving for 48 hours in a radiation environment that could destroy any Robots, became prevalent and the main cannon fodder of the army.

Human soldiers like Shazo, on the other hand, are equipped with heavily armored and expensive Mecha, commanding unarmed Clone Soldiers in battle on the front lines.

The enormous consumption spurred production and research, and the production of Clone Soldiers in the Star Trek World reached a high level of maturity, achieving fully automated, factory-scale mass production.

The technology for replicating humans was so sophisticated and widespread that Star Trek Shazo easily acquired a complete set and handed it over to Naruto Shazo through memory sharing.

Then he became the carrot that the Fifth Hokage used to seduce Orochimaru.

Next, Shazo Zuo told Tsunade the secret, and also told Orochimaru, allowing the snake to rediscover the Akatsuki.

One reason is to prevent Orochimaru from making a misjudgment that could affect the progress of his plan.

On the other hand, Shazo deliberately spread intelligence in preparation for future wars.

After successfully Kekkei Tōta Ring, Shazo's power increased beyond his expectations.

Under the influence of the twin rings, Shazo's body underwent a fundamental change, and it even began to resonate with his life level during the Tribulation Transcendence stage.

This means that his power is about to leap from the Super Kage Level to the Sage of Six Paths Level, making him qualified to participate in the final battle and confident enough to cover for Konoha.

Orochimaru looked at Shazo with a complicated expression. "Fifth Hokage, the greatest Luck of Konoha is that you were chosen to be Hokage."

"Rest assured, whether it's plotting against the Fourth Kazekage or fighting against Akatsuki in the war, I will do everything in my power."

Shazo nodded in satisfaction and personally saw Orochimaru off from the village.

A month passed quickly, Genin the four major Ninja World Four Great Ninja Villages and 22 Shinobu villages gathered in Konoha to prepare for the Joint Chunin Ninja Exams.

The Genin of the Shinobu village are all very self-aware. Each Ninja is very low-key, arriving quietly and settling in quietly. If you're not paying attention, you might not even notice their arrival.

The Genin from the Four Great Ninja Villages are different; these prodigies always have their own pride and personality.

For example, Hozuki Suigetsu has been constantly complaining throughout his journey, saying that he doesn't like the long sword, Nuibari Needle, that he was assigned to him at all, and wants to exchange it with the leader, the Jonin Momochi Zabuza the Broken Sword, Kubikiribōchō.

For this, he was Zabuza to the ground several times by Zabuza, but he did not show any restraint.

Unless Zabuza annoyed by the harassment that he orders Suigetsu to calm down, Zabuza won't stay quiet for a while after turning into Ice Sculpture.

Every time Zabuza freezes Suigetsu into Ice Sculpture, Zabuza lectures Haku: "You're too gentle. You should be tougher on Suigetsu, hit him harder, and scare him into submission in one go."

Haku smiled gently and said, "Yes, I will, Lord Zabuza."

The Transparent Genin, Gray, silently carried the Ice Sculpture on his back and continued forward with the captain and the jonin Jonin the team.

Actually, this guy has a lot of inner monologues; he's always internally complaining:

[Zabuza- sama himself didn't use his full strength, letting the gentle Captain Haku do it, really.]

[Suigetsu is a madwoman. Relying on her Hydrification Technique to become immune to damage, she doesn't even know what fear is.]

[Captain Bai is so beautiful and gentle, and her voice is so lovely. She's truly a perfect person.]

The Kirigakure Village team arrived at the Main Gate Konoha. Because Suigetsu was in Ice Sculpture state, they were able to complete the identity registration smoothly and enter the increasingly prosperous Konoha.

White, gray, and the thawed-headed Suigetsu looked around, attracted by the bustling crowds and dazzling array of goods. This was so different from the ghostly Kirigakure.

Hozuki Suigetsu clicked his tongue in amazement and said, "Konoha is truly prosperous. No wonder the Mizukage of each generation wanted to invade Konoha. If we could plunder Konoha, how much money could we get?"

Suigetsu's unbridled words instantly drew hostile stares.

Kirigakure is the most staunch anti- Konoha, with successive Mist Ninja harboring the ultimate dream of "counterattacking the Land of Fire and flattening Konoha."

Zabuza, Hozuki Suigetsu, and Hai didn't think there was anything wrong with Suigetsu's words. Instead of being glared at by the angry Konoha Ninja, they were quite pleased with themselves and weren't afraid of being surrounded and attacked.

Only Captain Bai bowed apologetically to those around him, using a gentle smile to defuse the increasingly sharp hostility.
