Wood Release Combined with Susanoo?

"What's going on with this Clone?"

Inside a secluded laboratory in the valley, Hyuga Makoto's consciousness was attached to the Clone, and his expression was somewhat strange.

Since this body contained his cells, he didn't experience any discomfort.

"It's probably just because it came from the factory," he said, still feeling a bit awkward.

"And this body is completely incomparable to my own..."

Hyuga Makoto pursed his lips; he actually understood that this was normal.

After all, his true form is Otsutsuki!

"However, it was after my bloodline evolved that I sensed other elemental Chakra within my body for the first time."

Hyuga Makoto felt a pang of regret. He originally possessed earth attributes, but bloodline evolution had completely erased them.

Re-perceiving this attribute now gives him a strange sense of familiarity!

"Exactly, aren't these attributes a bit too active?"

Looking at the sprouts growing on his arm, Mu Xiangcheng couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.

He had observed nothing unusual when he used his Tenseigan to observe.

This body Chakra, yet everything remains perfectly still, like stagnant water.

But when his consciousness returned, he immediately felt as if the energy within his body had been activated, and his Chakra also began to become active!

"What an amazing ability..."

Hyuga Makoto was deep in thought, while Shisui beside him was filled with amazement.

He looked at Hyuga Makoto Makoto's original body, which seemed to be asleep, and then at the Clone attached to Hyuga Makoto. He couldn't help but ask.

"But what you're doing won't harm your main body, will it?"

"Harm?"

Hyuga Makoto paused for a moment, then immediately understood what he meant.

"There won't be any problems at the soul level; this is merely a projection of consciousness. As for the safety of the physical body, there's even less to worry about."

As he spoke, he also looked towards his true form.

Seeing myself from an outsider's perspective for the first time was quite a strange feeling.

"My physical body is actually in a state of semi-dormancy. I can sense any slightest movement and immediately detach my consciousness to return to my physical body."

"That's good. You can't get hurt."

Upon hearing this, Shisui finally felt relieved, but his gaze remained fixed on Hyuga Makoto's arm.

"Did the experiment fail?"

"No, it's probably been too successful."

At this point, Hyuga Makoto's expression turned somewhat strange.

He could clearly sense that the sapling on his arm was actually a product of the fusion of Water Release and Earth Release!

What's even more interesting is that they are constantly merging according to a peculiar Chakra ratio.

"Is this... Wood Release?"

White Zetsu can use Wood Release, and they were especially favored by Uchiha Madara. It's highly likely that Tobi, whose personality is similar to Senju Hashirama, demonstrated this!

As for the other White Zetsu, they weren't so lucky.

"But White Zetsu was cultivated using Hashirama Cells, so does this mean I've activated that ability?"

As he pondered, Hyuga Makoto attempted to sense and control these active forces.

Almost the instant the thought arose in his mind, he was surprised to find that these energies were as obedient as his own body!

In the blink of an eye, they had stopped, and the buds on his arm had fallen off and disappeared.

Even though it was his first time using Water Release and Earth Release, and even though he himself wasn't very comfortable with them.

Yet he still managed to do it with ease and precise control over those Chakra!

"Such strong Chakra control."

Shisui was also somewhat incredulous; he activated his Sharingan and observed as well.

"Also, the Chakra within you seems different than before?"

"Indeed, it's not quite the same now..."

Hyuga Makoto laughed this time, because he had realized something.

In an instant, his Clone seemed to lose power, freezing in place.

Meanwhile, his original self opened his Tenseigan and quickly observed the Clone.

Clearly, his consciousness has returned!

"Just as I thought..."

As he observed, a smile appeared on his own face.

"No wonder this happened; it turns out the energy in my cells was activated!"

His cells originated from the Otsutsuki, even the lunar version, yet they still exerted a devastating influence on Chakra.

With the activation of these energies, the hidden power belonging to Senju Hashirama also quietly emerged!

This is also why saplings suddenly sprouted from his Clone.

"What's most interesting is that after my consciousness left, the energy of the cells also suddenly disappeared. The originally active Hyuga Makoto murmured, and his golden eyes flickered slightly."

He had seen through everything; he was absolutely certain that his own consciousness was the key to these cells!

"Just like the compressed data file of the 'Otsutsuki, my cells are essentially a kind of data," but the difference is...

The "compressed data" includes the control program, which is waiting to be unpacked together.

His own cells were simply encrypted hidden files; only his consciousness could activate them!

"This seems to prevent me from ending up like Senju Hashirama, being used for scientific research?"

Hyuga Makoto scratched his head; this was an unexpected surprise.

The biggest surprise was that when his consciousness descended upon the Clone just now, he actually sensed the details of the Wood Release burst!

Even though it occurred unconsciously, every step was perfectly executed, with Earth Release and Water Release merging in a 6:4 ratio.

This precise integration really made him feel like he understood the principles of Wood Release!

"Furthermore, my cells possess both Yin Release and Yang Release abilities. Before I transmigrated, I vaguely heard that the difference in true Wood Release lies in Yang Release?"

Hyuga Makoto stroked his chin. He actually thought Senju Hashirama's Wood Release was strong, mainly because of Asura Chakra.

He didn't have one, but that didn't seem to stop him from giving it a try!

"Shisui, it seems I won't have a chance to learn Fire Release from you for now, but..."

With this in mind, Hyuga Makoto had an idea. He took out a Pill and handed it to Shisui.

There are three of these left, but they're no longer of any use to him; their only purpose is to restore Chakra.

Furthermore, he had always had a thought about Uchiha Madara!

"It seems he was able to open Susanoo without eyes only after obtaining Senju Hashirama's power?"

He wasn't sure if this guess was accurate, because Shisui had indeed opened one of his eyes!

However, he also knew one thing: Susanoo's corrosive effect on the body was extremely strong.

Both Sasuke and Uchiha Itachi have said that every cell in their body aches after activating Susanoo.

"So, could it be that your body can't support the strain, which is why you can't activate it effectively?"

With this guess in mind, he also planned to let Shisui give it a try.

Anyway, he knows where the source is; if all else fails, he can just go get it himself.

If he actually manages to figure it out, it will be of immense help to him!

Thinking of this, he looked at Shisui, who was somewhat stunned, and smiled.

"I think I've gained a more interesting power, so I'll give this to you. Maybe you can restart Susanoo, which will allow you to better cooperate with me."

"Restart Susanoo..."

Shisui's eyes lit up; he truly craved this power. He accepted the Pill, but also showed some curiosity on his face.

"Thank you, but what power is needed that requires the cooperation of Susanoo?"

"No need for thanks. I don't know if it will be effective, and as for its power..."

Hyuga Makoto nodded, a smile spreading across his face.

"You saw it just now, that was the First Hokage's Wood Release..."

"Sigh, there's just too much to do."

While Hyuga Makoto and Shisui were making new attempts, Hiruzen Sarutobi felt dizzy inside the Hokage's Office.

The great incident involving Uchiha Itachi has just happened in Konoha, and the entire village is watching closely.

Even though he feels he's getting old and his energy isn't keeping up, he still needs to stay calm and handle things.

Just thinking about Uchiha Itachi made his fists hard.

"I never expected this kid to be so ruthless, and I never expected Danzo to be so stupid!"

In his view, the birth of the Mangekyo foreshadowed the troubles that Konoha would face in the future.

And the Perpetrator all of this is Danzo, that idiot!

Even though he had dealt with Danzo and relegated him to intelligence gathering, he was still somewhat unsatisfied.

But what could he do now that things had come to this? Perhaps the only thing that brought him comfort was Hyuga Makoto.

"It's a good thing that Makoto wasn't held back by the Hyuga Clan..."

He was truly thankful that he had agreed to let the kid join the Anbu.

Otherwise, he would never have seen what the real Hyuga and Byakugan are like!

"I wonder how well he and Jiraiya their studies..."

After thinking for a moment, he turned his gaze to the crystal ball on the table, intending to observe the situation.

He paused suddenly after just injecting Chakra.

"Jiraiya is definitely a good teacher, Makoto has a strong learning ability, and such a big thing just happened in Konoha..."

Thinking about this, he felt that as Hokage, he should also take a look at the current situation of Konoha!

"Hey, old man."

However, just as he turned the camera around, Jiraiya's voice suddenly came from outside the window.

This startled him so much that his hand trembled, and he grabbed a cloth and covered the crystal ball with it!

Why are you back?

Hiruzen Sarutobi remained calm, looking curiously at Jiraiya was climbing in through the window.

But at that moment, even he himself was startled.

"What's wrong? Why do you look so listless?"

"Sigh, don't say anymore..."

Jiraiya looked utterly dejected, and he plopped down on the table, letting out a grumble.

"You have no idea just how outrageous that brat Makoto really is!"

"?

Hiruzen Sarutobi was a little confused. He thought for a moment before tentatively asking a question.

"Could it be that he went to collect the operating funds again?"

66

Jiraiya stared blankly at Hiruzen Sarutobi, then almost laughed out of anger.

"So you knew that kid was greedy?"

"You're a lecherous person too!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi cursed under his breath, "Hyuga Makoto is a bit greedy."

But the money he received was completely insignificant compared to his performance!

"Tell me quickly, what exactly happened?"

"Tch, as if you're not a womanizer..."

Jiraiya rolled his Byakugan, but upon noticing Hiruzen Sarutobi's gaze, he immediately became obedient.

"That kid's talent is simply outrageous."

"I know that."

Hiruzen Sarutobi nodded, but Jiraiya was even more frustrated.

"No, you don't know, we know far too little about even the Byakugan!"

"?

"His eyes can actually see natural Chakra! He actually mastered Sage Mode in an unconventional way!"

"What?!"

"I've experienced it myself; his Yin Seal contains a vast amount of natural Chakra!"

Jiraiya's words silenced Hiruzen Sarutobi completely!

Natural Energy?

Sage Mode?

Wasn't this what he was thinking about—how to guide Jiraiya in teaching Hyuga Makoto?

While Hyuga Makoto was fighting Uchiha Itachi, he heard about the changes in Hyuga Makoto's Yin Seal and this idea popped into his head.

He himself wasn't sure if it would work, nor was he sure if Jiraiya was willing to teach him.

Therefore, he planned to let the two spend some time together and then see how things went.

result...

He hadn't even said it yet, Hyuga Makoto already knew it?

"Are you sure you're not mistaken?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi stared blankly at Jiraiya, Jiraiya nodded even more dejectedly.

"How could I be wrong? You have no idea how much I suffered learning this!"

"The First Hokage Master's Sage Mode..."

"Hey, I can do it too, okay? I'm not very good at it, but at least I can do it!"

"No wonder his Yin Seal is so strong..."

Hiruzen Sarutobi finally understood why Hyuga Makoto's Yin Seal so powerful—it was because of this!

What's even more unbelievable to him is that Hyuga Makoto's eyes can actually see Natural Energy?

Just how terrifying is that Byakugan?!

Such terrifying Byakugan, combined with Hyuga Makoto's talent, plus Sage Mode...

Such fighting prowess truly made his eyes light up!

"Jiraiya, you must do everything in your power to teach him well."

Thinking of this, Hiruzen Sarutobi immediately became serious.

"This is a treasure of Konoha; this mission can only be entrusted to you."

"Don't worry, I know."

Jiraiya nodded; even if Hiruzen Sarutobi hadn't said anything, he would have done it anyway.

"By the way, I'd like to request some materials. Makoto's Senjutsu is self-taught, and I'm not sure if the techniques from Mount Myōboku are suitable for him, so..."

"Information on the First Hokage?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi didn't even need to ask to understand; he nodded decisively.

"Okay, you can go get it yourself later."

"No problem."

Jiraiya's expression remained serious, but when he caught a glimpse of the cloth on the table, his gaze immediately sharpened.

"Hey, old man, were you doing something bad before I came?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi choked, but before he could speak, Jiraiya suddenly grinned mischievously.

"You didn't even call me for something like this?"

"Hey, wanna relax a bit?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi was too lazy to speak, but Jiraiya had already pulled back the cloth and was looking right up at him.

This made him purse his lips and lean closer.

They were all in good spirits, after all, Hyuga Makoto had brought them so many surprises.

With this kid around, Konoha's future is sure to be bright!

For some reason, the more I thought about Hyuga Makoto, the stranger my feelings became.

After a while, the two of them suddenly cursed at the same time.

"Hyuga, you're completely wasting your talent!"

Meanwhile, in the valley of Konoha, Hyuga Makoto watched as green Chakra appeared on Shisui's body.

He glanced down at the thick vines he had created and scratched his head.

"Looks like everything's ready now----"
