Forming Hand Seals for the First Time

"Yugito Nii, I already have a wife and a concubine! You don't mind?"

"A great man having three wives and four concubines is perfectly normal," Yugito Nii blurted out without hesitation.

"Besides, you're the strongest man I've ever seen in my life."

Shao Nan laughed. "Then come with me. I'll show you just how strong I am..."

After saying that, Shao Nan seemed to remember something important.

Wife, concubine... concubine...

Damn it, Ayame is still waiting for me to go home for a late-night snack!

That damn Raikage is getting in the way of my business.

If the Raikage knew what was happening inside, he might really cough up blood.

Flirting inside his ultimate move was one thing.

But Yugito Nii, one of Kumogakure's strongest fighters, actually wanted to run off with someone?

A long, long time passed...

The light faded, and the Raikage fell from the sky.

His entire body trembled weakly.

His legs had gone limp, constantly buckling beneath him...

It seemed the Raikage's ultimate move, Lightning Self-Explosion, was a technique that harmed the enemy for a thousand while damaging himself for eight hundred.

Smoke continued to drift across the scarred terrain of the battlefield...

The pure-white Susanoo, over two hundred meters tall, still stood immovable as a mountain.

Even the Bangpai Shield had not suffered the slightest damage.

The Eight-Tails Gyuki was in a somewhat miserable state. Its octopus-like skin had been scorched all over.

Blood and fluid seeped from its ferocious tentacles.

Boom!

Shao Nan controlled the Susanoo and took a step forward.

Everyone was stunned!

Under the night sky, the pure-white Susanoo radiating waves of flame was like a white grim reaper, looking down upon all living things.

Shao Nan released Yugito Nii's hand. Sage Mode and the power of his right Mangekyo Sharingan activated at the same time.

Shao Nan instantly appeared before the Raikage. White light gathered in his right hand, forming a pure-white Chidori.

"Sage Art: Chidori."

Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle~~~

Slash!

The Raikage's right arm was cleanly severed once more.

After unleashing his ultimate move, the Raikage had already been incredibly weakened. Coupled with losing his right arm, even the man known as a brute could not help crying out in pain.

"Aah!!! Damn Uchiha! Damn Senju!"

Hearing the Raikage still spewing insults, Shao Nan pressed his hands together.

"Wood Release: Wood Dragon Technique."

A Wood Dragon only ten meters long instantly appeared.

Shao Nan directly tossed the Raikage's severed arm into the Wood Dragon's fang-filled mouth.

"Come on, eat it!"

The Wood Dragon bit down on the Raikage's severed arm.

Crunch, crunch~

It ate with great relish, as if it were munching on spicy snack sticks—crunchy enough to make a crisp crack!!!

The Raikage was furious, but he no longer had the strength to do anything, and besides, it was already too late.

"Damn Uchiha Shao Nan, Senju Shao Nan, I concede!"

From afar, Killer B saw his brother lose an arm and turned serious as well.

He suddenly appeared in front of Shao Nan, blocking his path.

"Enough, stop fighting! As long as you don't hurt my brother or anyone from Kumogakure, I'm willing to do anything for you!"

Shao Nan was taken aback. Killer B really was the same as in the original story—what he cared about most was the Raikage!

"Raikage, you have a good younger brother! My conditions remain unchanged.

The next time I come, I hope you'll have everything prepared."

The power in Shao Nan's right eye activated, and he glanced at Yugito Nii.

"Godfall."

0.1 seconds later, Yugito Nii appeared beside Shao Nan.

The Raikage, Killer B, and even Yugito Nii herself all wore expressions of disbelief.

Raikage: "Your ocular power doesn't need any conditions to activate?"

Killer B: "I'm curious too. Can you use that ocular power without limit?"

Yugito Nii: "Good thing I'm yours now. Being your opponent or enemy would be truly terrifying!"

As soon as Yugito Nii finished speaking,

the Raikage and Killer B both looked at her strangely.

Killer B was stunned. From beginning to end, this big-chested Yugito Nii never left my sight. When did they get together?

Could it have been when Big Bro blew himself up just now?

Damn, Kumogakure will have one less big chest to look at from now on.

Only Samui, that big-chested woman, is left.

And Samui, that big-chested woman, is Big Bro's aide and part-time secretary.

Sigh!

Shao Nan had no idea why Killer B was sighing.

He simply wrapped an arm around Yugito Nii and said, "Woman, you made the right choice!"

The Raikage calmly said, "I'll be ready and wait for you.

But please dismiss this big white thing first, and release my people!"

Golden light flashed through Shao Nan's eyes, and the pure-white Susanoo standing over two hundred meters away instantly vanished.

He slapped a hand against the ground, and the Wood Release prison trapping several thousand people opened as well.

But Shao Nan did not dispel Sage Mode. He pressed his hands together.

Massive chakra erupted from Shao Nan's body.

Since he was beginning his grand undertaking of unifying the Ninja World, he should plant a two-thousand-meter-tall tree here.

"Sage Art: Wood Release: Super Deep Forest Emergence."

The Raikage dragged his weakened body forward in large strides.

"Uchiha Shao Nan, what are you trying to do now?! Haven't I already agreed to your conditions?"

"Raikage, don't panic! What I'm about to do will benefit the entire Ninja World. You'll understand someday!"

Rumble!

The earth split apart, and a sapling emerged from within.

Rumble, rumble, rumble!!!!

The entire Kumogakure began to quake violently. Many small stone houses instantly collapsed.

As the earthquake struck, everyone in Kumogakure fled toward open ground.

Boom!!!

The sapling shot skyward at a growth rate that defied all reason.

Its trunk grew thicker and thicker. The Raikage and Killer B could only run behind Shao Nan and watch the tree grow.

As it grew, branches sprouted in orderly layers, each one covered in dense leaves.

They displayed a vivid green full of life.

Crack~~

As the great tree stopped growing,

its enormous crown pierced the clouds. It stood two thousand meters tall, with a trunk as wide as five hundred meters.

Yugito Nii could not help exclaiming, "How majestic... how spectacular..."

Shao Nan lowered his hands and looked up at the towering tree.

"A newly planted tree needs a little water."

He then looked at the three people beside him and asked, "Which of you can use Water Release? Help water it!"

The Raikage said in surprise, "Water? Even if the Mizukage came, she probably wouldn't have enough water, would she?"

Hearing that, Shao Nan looked at him disdainfully. "You can't do it, so what does that have to do with the Mizukage?"

At that moment, Yugito Nii spoke up. "I have an A-rank, extremely powerful Water Release ninjutsu. But I haven't learned it."

After speaking, Yugito Nii took out a scroll and handed it to Shao Nan.

Hearing that it was an A-rank ninjutsu, Shao Nan became interested. He took the scroll and opened it.

Damn!

This Water Release is amazing.

After memorizing the sequence of hand seals for the Water Release,

"Raikage, this plain... no, it's a basin now.

There's no water here, so I'll make an artificial lake for you.

Consider it a benefit for Kumogakure!"

"Wood Release: Great Forest Technique."

Rumble, rumble!!

Large swathes of trees grew from above the basin, forming a dense forest.

Then Shao Nan slowly began forming hand seals.

But it felt incredibly awkward.

He was already used to ninjutsu without hand seals. Either he pressed his hands together or slapped the ground, and whatever he called for would appear.

Suddenly having to form hand seals made Shao Nan deeply uncomfortable.

Still, the hardware and talent of this body were absurdly good. Being able to form hand seals and use ninjutsu was only natural, right?
