Wood Style!!

The team continued forward.

The development of this world was truly hard to describe sometimes.

Despite having high-tech products like televisions and computers, there wasn't a decent road to be found.

However.

The scenery was quite nice.

Yo chatted and laughed with Naruto the whole way, as if they were out on a trip.

Unknowingly, the team passed a seemingly ordinary puddle.

"Splash!"

Two dark figures shot out from the puddle like phantoms.

They wore Kirigakure headbands and had bandages wrapped around their faces.

Wielding sharp claw blades attached to chains, they lunged at Tazuna.

"Ah!!"

Tazuna was so terrified he fell to the ground.

"It's... it's ninjas!"

Naruto had never seen such a situation before. His scalp tingled, and he was so scared he forgot to even pull out his kunai.

Sasuke's eyes sharpened, and he instinctively wanted to charge forward.

But he had used up all his chakra releasing Shadow Clones earlier.

His legs went weak, and he almost fell, only able to watch as the two dark figures attacked.

Kakashi, that actor with poor skills, was even more exaggerated than Naruto, getting killed by the opponents in the first encounter.

"Kakashi-sensei!"

Naruto's eyes widened in fury, and his face turned pale.

"Tsk! Kakashi-sensei, I can only give your acting in this scene a 66 out of 10,000 points!"

Yo quipped, raising his right hand and forming a simple hand seal.

"Fire Style: Fire Dragon Flame Bullet!"

Boom!!!

A violent torrent of flames poured out like a volcanic eruption.

It condensed into a scorching giant python of fire, opening its massive maw.

The sinister grins on the Demon Brothers' faces instantly froze, turning into terror.

This brat could unleash such a terrifying fire jutsu instantaneously?

"No!!"

Their startled cries were completely drowned out by the furious roar of the flames.

After the torrent of fire swept past, only two wisps of smoke remained on the spot.

The two rogue ninja from the Mist Village, along with their weapons, had been instantly vaporized by the high temperature, burned to ashes!

An instant kill!

"So... so powerful!"

Tazuna, who had collapsed on the ground, looked at Yo, his voice trembling.

He had initially thought that Yo and the other two were just kids and felt they were unreliable.

But at this moment, Tazuna realized he was wrong, terribly wrong!

Naruto did seem unreliable, but this kid called Yo was simply a monster.

Yo looked in one direction, his tone carrying a hint of teasing, "Teacher Kakashi, you can come out now!"

Kakashi slowly walked out from behind a tree, "Ahaha, we're saved, all thanks to Yo!"

Yo was a little helpless; Kakashi's acting was too poor.

With his acting skills, he was worse than those actors in Bee's comedy films, truly unbearable to watch!

After dealing with the Demon Brothers, the group finally arrived at the Land of Waves.

This small country, surrounded by the ocean, exuded poverty everywhere.

Dilapidated houses, gaunt residents, and the cloud of worry that hung over everyone's faces...

After learning the true situation of the Land of Waves from Tazuna, Kakashi stroked his chin and made a decision.

"In that case, our mission has changed to protecting Mr. Tazuna until the bridge is completed."

Upon hearing that the mission had been upgraded, Naruto, far from being scared, became spirited, raising his fist forcefully:

"Don't worry, Mr. Tazuna! Gato and his lackeys will be dealt with by the great Uzumaki Naruto!"

Sasuke had his hands in his pockets and snorted coldly. Although he didn't speak, the meaning in his eyes was clear.

Yo maintained an indifferent attitude. In fact, it was more convenient for him to stay in the Land of Waves.

Far from Konoha, he could use the Multiple Shadow Clone Technique to continue developing Wood Release.

Yo had a hunch that he would be able to develop Wood Release soon!

Thus, Team 7 settled down at Tazuna's house.

Kakashi was responsible for overall vigilance and tactical planning, occasionally guiding Naruto and Sasuke's basics.

Yo used the Flying Thunder God to travel to a secluded forest.

"Multiple Shadow Clone Technique!"

Yo formed hand seals.

Bang bang bang bang!

Hundreds of shadow clones appeared instantly, filling the surroundings.

"Groups one to one hundred will be responsible for practicing the form and nature transformation of Earth Release Chakra!"

"Groups one hundred and one to two hundred will practice the form and nature transformation of Water Release Chakra!"

"Groups two hundred and one to three hundred will attempt to fuse Water and Earth!"

"Group three hundred and one will practice Yang Release Chakra..."

Each shadow clone possessed independent thinking ability.

Upon receiving their orders, they immediately threw themselves into their respective training.

Wood Release!

It was formed by combining the Nature Transformation of Water Release Chakra and Earth Release Chakra, and then Yang Release gave it life.

Simple to say.

Difficult to do!

Yo could only use this crude method, practicing bit by bit, failing, dissipating, and the experience returning.

He continued to try, failed again, and returned again...

Under this method of exchanging quantity for time and experience.

Yo's understanding of Wood Release was improving at an unprecedented speed.

Along with it, his mastery of the shape and nature transformation of Water and Earth Release Chakra was also rapidly advancing.

Yo continuously summarized, organized, deduced, and optimized...

Half a month passed in the blink of an eye.

"Earth Release Chakra's 'Inclusiveness' and 'Shaping'!"

"Water Release Chakra's 'Nourishment' and 'Flow'!"

"Yang Release Chakra's 'Life' and 'Creation'!"

"Based on comprehensive experience, fusing the three in a 5:4:1 ratio is the most reasonable!"

"Let's try it!"

Yo carefully controlled the three vastly different Chakra natures, bringing them closer and fusing them in the optimal ratio.

Earth as the foundation, providing the framework!

Water as the medium, imparting vitality!

Yang Release, bestowing life force!

"Now!"

A sharp glint flashed in Yo's eyes as he injected Yang Release Chakra into the preliminary fused Water and Earth Chakra.

Hummm...

A gentle, vibrant emerald green light bloomed.

The Chakra, like soil and flowing water, seemed to be imbued with a soul, undergoing the final transformation of matter and energy.

Then.

A tender, verdant sapling broke through the Chakra light cluster, growing into reality.

It was only finger-high, so slender it seemed a gust of wind could blow it over, but it was undeniably wooden.

It emanated the unique fragrance and life force of a true plant!

"It worked!!"

Even with Yo's composure, he couldn't hide his excitement at this moment.

Heaven be my witness!

Half a month of arduous training, the accumulation of countless Shadow Clones, finally bore the sweetest fruit at this moment.

Yo carefully supported the tender sapling with Chakra, as if holding the most precious treasure in the world.

"Although it's still very weak, this is undeniably... Wood Style!"

Going from 0 to 1 is the hardest part!

Yo had completed this step!

This meant he had truly pushed open the door to Wood Style.

Next, it was time to let it continuously grow, strengthen, until it transformed into a towering tree, or even an boundless forest!
