three days later
Iori was immersed in his Wood Release transformation, surrounded by various materials and records.
He has already made plans to popularize Hashirama Cells in the two major families of Senju and Uchiha.
However, although Hashirama and Wood Release are powerful, they are too high-level and cannot be controlled by ordinary people.
Based on Iori's estimation, the upper limit of most people's level is probably Yamato. Many people are not even as good as Yamato. Mastering Hashirama Wood Release is simply a fantasy.
He planned to refer to the abilities of characters in other animations from previous lives to see if he could develop some corresponding ninjutsu.
Speaking of wood, the most famous and convenient one in Iori's impression is the grass-type skill of Pokémon.
He first referred to Wood Dragon Technique's principle of absorbing chakra and developed the c-level ninjutsu, Leech Seed, Ninja World name, Wood Release·Planting Jutsu. The effect is to benefit himself by absorbing the chakra of others.
Leech Seed can be launched from a distance, and it can also interfere with the enemy's movements when wrapped around the body.
Then, in order to facilitate the battle of Chunin, he transformed Deep Forest Emergence, greatly reducing its power and consumption, and turning it into a single type.
C-level ninjutsu, Vine Whip, Ninja World name, Wood Release·Thorn whip. Create a whip-like vine that can both attack and interfere. The key is low consumption.
C-level ninjutsu, Razor Leaf, Ninja World name, Wood Release·Flying Leaf Blade.
It is equivalent to a mini Shuriken Shadow Clone Technique, with average power, but against fragile ninjas, it can kill them even if it hits their vital points.
Then, B-level ninjutsu, Stun Spore/Sleep Powder, Ninja World name, Wood Release·Flower Blooming Jutsu.
Iori is upgraded from Deep Forest Bloom. It can bloom on the summoned trees and secrete pollen with special effects.
In fact, if further development is carried out, more pollen types can still be invented, but Iori does not plan to develop it themselves, leaving it to them.
The last A-level ninjutsu, Solar Beam, Ninja World name, Wood Release·Scorching Light Jutsu. Create a plant that can absorb sunlight, and after a period of time of accumulation, launch a powerful energy shot.
But at night it becomes basically unusable because it takes so long to accumulate power.
After Iori modifies these ninjutsu, they will basically be used as the basic ninjutsu for Wood Release ninja. Iori is looking forward to the day when they will shine.
When he was about to go to Senju Residence's mansion and hand over the newly developed ninjutsu to Tsunade, a rapid knock on the door broke the tranquility of the laboratory.
Iori waved his hand gently, and the barrier rippled like water waves. Shisui's figure couldn't wait to rush in, with eagerness and excitement written on his face.
"Brother Iori, the ninjas from the Land of Earth front have returned, and Third Hokage has organized the ninjas to go and greet them."
Shisui said with some excitement that he clearly knew the transaction between Iori and Minato. After Minato takes over, Iori will replace Danzo and become the new Hokage Advisor.
This is the first time someone from the Uchiha Clan has been able to join the top team of Konoha since Madara left. In this case, Uchiha proposed to change the police force to have any hope of success.
The police force established by the second generation has now become a shackles to Uchiha, restricting Uchiha from joining other departments of Konoha, and causing the villagers' resentment over discipline violations to focus on Uchiha.
Short-sighted people are proud of it and think they are superior to others. Although people with long-term vision see the shortcomings, all changes are in vain due to the opposition of the tribe and the vague obstruction from the upper class.
Iori plans to open up some positions in the police force in exchange for Uchiha being able to join other departments after he takes office.
Break the political blockade brought by the second generation and unite some ninjas and civilian ninjas.
The patriarchs of the past were unable to do this, partly because of resistance from the top management. They could not allow you to violate the second generation's policies, let alone provide compensation.
On the other hand, after Uchiha, there has never been a leader who can convince all the tribesmen with his words. In the face of the opposition of the tribesmen, the tribe leader cannot have his own way.
But now Iori is one of the strongest people in Uchiha history, and no one in the clan dares to oppose his policies.
As Hokage Advisor, he is also qualified to adjust Konoha's system.
Shisui is naturally very excited when he sees that his dream is being realized step by step. Even if he is ready to stand completely on the side of his tribe, it is naturally best to evolve gently.
"The dust hasn't settled yet, don't open the champagne at halftime, understand?" Although Iori also felt that things were stable, he still taught Shisui a lesson to prevent him from getting carried away.
"Yes, I understand." Although he didn't know what champagne was, Shisui understood what Iori meant and honestly admitted his mistake.
"Let's go and meet our allies." Iori nodded and walked out.
"Oh!" Shisui responded and quickly chased Iori away.
Village gate
This welcome ceremony is far better than the previous one for Land of Wind.
Except for Mitokado Homura, who was gradually losing consciousness, and Danzo, who was grounded, almost all the remaining senior officials were present.
They brought almost all the ninja clan to greet them. Except for the two big families Senju and Uchiha, it can be said that they all arrived.
Although many people came here out of concern for the ninjas in the clan, Third Hokage cleverly used this opportunity to gain some reputation for Minato.
Jiraiya detailed Iori's contribution in the letter. He and Minato are both honest and trustworthy people. Even if there is no agreement, they will not take away the credit of others.
Third Hokage naturally understands that at this time, he cannot mention his credit in detail, otherwise the limelight will definitely be stolen by Iori.
He just held the hands of Minato and Jiraiya tightly and thanked them with a trembling voice for their hard work on the front line for Konoha.
Third Hokage's eyes shone with tears. He was moved by the sacrifice of the ninjas. A few tears slipped quietly. Those who had not found their relatives in the returning team also shed tears.
As the ceremony came to an end, the figures of the ninjas gradually merged into the flow of people returning home, and hugs and greetings from relatives came one after another.
Third Hokage's gaze penetrated the scattered crowd, and finally settled on Iori and Shisui standing in the distance.
Just as he was about to speak, he saw Minato giving him an apologetic smile, then turned around and walked in the direction of Iori.
Looking at Minato's expression, Third Hokage suddenly felt a green light coming from his head. Upon seeing this, Jiraiya quickly pulled up the teacher and walked towards Hokage Building.
He wanted to question loudly, but considering the gazes around him and the current situation, he had to grit his teeth and lower his voice.
"What's going on with you guys? Minato doesn't want to be Hokage anymore?"
Jiraiya said with a smile, "Iori plans to support Minato to become Hokage. We promise him to let him become Hokage Advisor and lead Uchiha to integrate into Konoha."
"Are you serious?" Third Hokage was furious and looked at Jiraiya fiercely.
Jiraiya showed no sign of weakness, looked at Third Hokage and said seriously, "Teacher, Uchiha is also our companion. The prejudice in the past made us drift apart, but now we can change everything."
"I believe in Minato, he will reconcile everything so that Uchiha will no longer be a hidden danger!"
Third Hokage looked at Jiraiya, feeling an unspeakable loss in his heart.
He didn't expect that the man he planned to support would choose another path at a critical moment.
Now that he had no cards to play, he could only say to Jiraiya helplessly, "You will definitely regret it."
But Jiraiya just smiled, with a hint of relaxation and relief in his tone. "From now on, Minato will be Hokage, and I will leave everything to him."
Listening to Jiraiya's words, Third Hokage felt a little familiar. Now he finally understood Danzo's feelings.
