Liao Wu's Gift--Creation Rebirth Technique

"All right, Hiruko—"

"Hm?!"

Orochimaru suddenly sensed a response from the White Snake he had left outside the base. Someone had secretly infiltrated his base.

And this person... had quite the background.

"Heh heh, Jiraiya, did Teacher send you to investigate me? Has he already begun to suspect me?"

"Let's go, Hiruko. Someone has broken in here. We'll talk in detail somewhere else."

After Orochimaru took Hiruko and slipped away in stealth, Jiraiya snuck into Orochimaru's secret base.

"Orochimaru's already gone? His counter-surveillance is this sharp... Just what is he hiding?"

Jiraiya crouched down and examined some of the traces Orochimaru had left behind. The more he looked, the darker his expression became.

There were human organs and tissue in Orochimaru's base, proving that Liao Wu had been right. Orochimaru had done it too!

Leaf Village, Uchiha Clan.

"Lord Tsunade, what did you say?"

Mikoto asked in some confusion.

Tsunade shook her head. "Nothing. I just thought of something. Right, can I have these things of Liao Wu's?"

Mikoto nodded.

After Tsunade left with Kushina, Fugaku brought the higher-ups of the Police Force over.

The Senju Princess coming to the Uchiha Clan Land was something the Uchiha people took very seriously.

The Uchiha very much hoped to improve their isolated position within the village.

"Mikoto, did Tsunade discover anything?"

Mikoto shook her head.

Uchiha Yashiro looked a little sullen. "Tsunade clearly still has feelings for Liao Wu. Damn it. If the Third hadn't stopped it back then, we could have formed a political marriage with Tsunade, and our position in the village wouldn't be so awkward now."

Fugaku shook his head. "Even if the Third had agreed, the Senju wouldn't have. The Village High Command is deliberately excluding us."

Seeing Fugaku and the others complaining about topics they should not touch, Mikoto pulled Itachi into the house.

After they entered, Itachi looked at Mikoto in confusion. "Mother, I heard everything just now. Lord Tsunade said Uncle isn't dead."

Mikoto covered Itachi's mouth. "Itachi, forget it quickly. Even if your uncle isn't dead, he has to be dead."

Itachi was somewhat puzzled, but he could only nod.

Mikoto reminded Itachi again, "Itachi, don't show your eyes to anyone else. Not even your father."

"Why?"

"No reason. It will harm you!"

Because of Liao Wu, Mikoto was not as obedient to Fugaku as in the original work, unconditionally supporting every decision her husband made.

At the very least, outsiders like Tsunade had set up a grave for Liao Wu, while Fugaku's priority had been to quickly cut ties between Liao Wu and the clan.

What he brought back to Mikoto and her son was a single apology, along with what he called the wise act of expelling Liao Wu from the clan in advance, striking out his surname, and preserving the Uchiha name.

Mikoto thought of Liao Wu's assessment of Fugaku—"Incompetent Husband."

Could the Uchiha protect Liao Wu? To be honest, they could not!

But the Uchiha could have used Liao Wu's technique to bargain with the higher-ups, or even offered it to the Daimyo in exchange for the Daimyo's political support.

But Fugaku sought stability. The moment Liao Wu's matter broke out, he immediately placed Liao Wu under house arrest.

After Liao Wu defected, Fugaku struck his name from the records, then took the Police Force to pursue and kill him.

And regarding Itachi, Fugaku was somewhat ruthless.

Itachi had just turned four when Fugaku took him to the battlefield to cut people down.

At the time, Liao Wu had gone straight to Fugaku and had a huge argument with him, saying that exposing Itachi to the darkness of the Ninja World too early would destroy him.

But Fugaku said this was the fate of a ninja, not something a chunin like Liao Wu, who clung to life, feared death, and hid in the rear lines, could understand.

Itachi was someone who would become a ninja in the future. The sooner he came into contact with darkness, the sooner he could get ahead at the starting line.

At the time, Mikoto did not know whom to listen to either, so she could only follow the traditions of the Uchiha Clan: marry a chicken and follow the chicken, marry a dog and follow the dog.

After that, Fugaku had Mikoto and Itachi reduce their contact with Liao Wu.

Mikoto noticed the changes in Itachi after he returned from the battlefield. Sometimes, he would chase after well-known ninjas in the village and ask them about the meaning of life.

Fugaku thought this was maturity, that this was the thinking of a Hokage.

But Mikoto felt this was a burden brought on by maturing too early. Itachi had begun to take life lightly.

It was only after he came into contact with Shisui that things improved somewhat.

But a scar was a scar, all the more so when it was a scar in the heart.

Mikoto hugged Itachi tightly with all her strength. Her older brother had already left her. She absolutely could not let Itachi get involved in Fugaku and the others' schemes again.

Itachi looked at his heartbroken mother, then glanced at the Uchiha Elders outside discussing how to launch their great undertaking.

For the first time, he wanted to grow up faster. That way, he could know more. If he were grown, he might be able to stop Uncle from defecting sooner.

But why had Uncle slaughtered the village's own people and defected?

After Itachi returned from On the Battlefield, he hid it from his Parents and went to ask Liao Wu about the meaning of life.

Liao Wu had been making an Imitation Explosive Tag at the time, and casually tossed him one answer: Make Money.

And after Make Money?

Screw people over!

Lord Orochimaru said life had no meaning. Uncle's meaning was to Make Money and screw people over.

Then what was Mother's meaning? Father's meaning? And the clan's meaning?

Itachi gazed at the Uchiha's Red and White Fan Clan Crest and sank into thought.

Right now, only Shisui could give him an answer, but Shisui was at the Mist Village Frontline.

After Tsunade left the Uchiha Clan Land, she stayed gloomy the whole time. It was obvious something was weighing on her mind, and Kushina did not keep pestering her either. She said she was going to the Vegetable Market to buy groceries, then left.

Tsunade held Liao Wu's belongings and walked in the direction of Hokage Rock.

She struggled inwardly, still hesitating over whether she should report to the Third Hokage that Liao Wu was not dead.

But Liao Wu had truly and unmistakably blown himself up In Front Of their Sannin and Minato. Then who on earth could have pulled off such a deception?

Tsunade really could not understand what kind of power in the shinobi world could fool the Sannin.

But she also firmly believed that a scourge like Liao Wu would not die that easily.

Could it really be that her old feelings for Liao Wu had not faded, making her hallucinate?

Tsunade looked at Liao Wu's explosive tags, and suddenly noticed something odd. On the back of every Imitation Explosive Tag, the pattern seemed to contain a symbol.

Tsunade put them together and slowly arranged and deciphered them, but this writing was a cipher, and only a specific method could decode it.

She suddenly thought of the Ninja games she and Liao Wu had played as children. Liao Wu had taught her a cipher technique back then.

Tsunade decoded one according to Liao Wu's method. The password worked. After turning a street corner, Tsunade found a Secluded Place and took out a pen to record it.

After quite a bit of effort, Tsunade finally recorded it all.

Forbidden Technique: Creation Rebirth

Tsunade stared blankly at this forbidden technique. This forbidden technique was exactly the one she had been conceptualizing all these years.

Tsunade had the Yin Seal and the Hundred Healings Jutsu. These were forbidden techniques Mito Uzumaki had passed down to her.

"Note: In the new version of Boruto's setting, the Yin Seal was not developed by Tsunade."

At the Current stage, the Hundred Healings Jutsu only released the Chakra within the Yin Seal, allowing her to gain powerful recovery ability.

But no matter how much she recovered, it ultimately could not match the consumption of battle. Ninja battles had always been high offense and low defense.

So Tsunade wanted to develop an even stronger recovery ability—that was, the Power of Regeneration. This Is the prototype of "Creation Rebirth."

In her free time, Tsunade would combine the Senju Clan's Data with Hashirama Senju's Training Data to develop Creation Rebirth.

But because of the Third Shinobi World War, she had never had No Time. She had never expected Liao Wu to steal her Ninjutsu Scroll and derive this forbidden technique.

Tsunade felt that if she did not have the support of the Senju Clan's bloodline, her talent in Medical Ninjutsu would be inferior to Liao Wu's.

Tsunade suddenly noticed that below it was another line of words Liao Wu had left for her.

"I don't owe you anymore, Tsunade."

"That day, you actually knew I was the one who stole your ninjutsu. If the Inuzuka Clan had released a Dog, I would have been exposed. But you didn't pursue it, and even helped cover for me. That was what I owed you."

"With your temperament, you'd probably sneer at my forbidden techniques, so I'll give you this forbidden technique that suits you!"

"Oh right, Tsunade, I want to tell you a secret. Actually, on the day I went to meet you, I was planning to drug you."

"I prepared a powerful drug for myself too. I was ready to die gloriously on top of you."

"Tsunade, I wanted you so badly! Even in my dreams!"

With a boom!

Tsunade punched the wall beside her and smashed it apart outright.

But what followed was not fury. Instead, drops of tears splashed onto the ground, breaking into tiny beads of water.

"Liao Wu, you damned little thief. Next time I see you, I'm definitely going to beat you flat."

Tsunade was now one hundred percent certain that Liao Wu was not dead. How could a scourge like that die?

"Which little brat dares smash my house wall?"

The Master whose wall had been smashed stormed over from the front yard, opening with Cao Ni Ma, but when he saw it was Tsunade, he looked as if he had seen a Ghost and quickly lay down to Play Dead.

Tsunade burned all of Liao Wu's belongings with one fire, tossed a sum of money to the Master whose wall she had wrecked, then glanced at Hokage Rock.

She strode toward the Hokage Building. She was not going to the Village Committee to report him, but to run for the next Village Leader.

Tsunade looked toward Hokage Rock. How could the village Grandfather had spent his life protecting be allowed to become their private property?
