Hatake Sakumo served as the team Teacher.
He knew very well how many mistakes Genin would make when he first left the Ninja Academy.
Real combat is not training.
One wrong judgment could cost the entire squad their lives.
" The Shadow Clone possesses my memories and experiences."
Fang Xu's expression remained unchanged.
"After the process is completed, all experiences will return to the original body."
"It doesn't make much difference to me."
"There is a difference."
Hatake Sakumo immediately retorted.
His tone wasn't harsh, but there was no hint of a joke in it.
" Shadow Clone have a limited duration."
"Exhaustion of Chakra, suffering a heavy blow, or interference from special ninjutsu may all cause the effect to be prematurely dispelled."
"If your physical body were in Konoha, you could indeed provide timely support using the Flying Thunder God."
"But you just said you were planning to travel."
Hatake Sakumo looked at Fang Xu.
What happened after you left the Shinobi World?
"Will the Flying Thunder God be able to get you back in time?"
Fang Xu did not answer immediately.
The Random Transmigration Plugin can record world coordinates.
The communication Jutsu Formula within the Spatial Bracelet could theoretically allow for communication across worlds.
However, none of these capabilities have been actually verified.
If there are Barrier between different worlds, the original body might indeed not be able to receive the news immediately if the Shadow Clone encounters danger.
Seeing Fang Xu's silence, Hatake Sakumo knew he had hit the nail on the head.
You are very strong now.
"Even when facing the Five Kage and the Tailed Beast, it's difficult to encounter danger."
"But your students don't have that ability."
"They're just kids who've just become Genin."
Hatake Sakumo leaned forward slightly.
"Since you've taken on this class, you should be responsible for them."
"Using Shadow Clone for regular training and occasionally replacing the main body to perform ordinary tasks is fine."
"But you can't remain completely hidden from the beginning."
"Furthermore, we must not allow Shadow Clone to carry them on dangerous missions when the main body is unable to provide support."
The living room quieted down.
Hatake Sakumo did not change his attitude because of Fang Xu's current strength and status.
He would still point out his disciples' mistakes directly.
"If the shadow Shadow Clone suddenly dissipates and the student encounters fatal danger, the consequences will be irreversible."
"Ninjas on missions may encounter enemies they haven't Intelligence of."
"You can't treat their lives like a game."
Fang Xu did not argue after hearing these words.
"This problem does exist with regular Shadow Clone."
Hatake Sakumo's brow remained furrowed.
"Now that you know, you should change your plans."
Fang Xu raised his right hand.
"So I don't plan to use regular Shadow Clone all the time."
The Wood Release Chakra within the Sage Body rapidly gathered.
The skin on the palms undulated slightly.
A small sprout emerged from the palm of my hand and continued to grow.
The woody structure differentiated rapidly.
skeleton.
joint.
skin.
In the blink of an eye, a complete finger had grown from Fang Xu's palm.
The nails and ridges are no different from normal fingers.
If it weren't for the small branch attached to the bottom, it would be almost impossible to tell that this was a creation of Wood Release.
Hatake Sakumo suddenly stood up.
The teacup was knocked over by a finger.
He completely ignored the spilled warm tea on the table.
Wood Release?
Hatake Sakumo stared intently at Fang Xu's palm.
That finger wasn't made of ordinary wood.
It has a clearly defined flesh and blood structure inside.
It even teems with vibrant life force.
He had only seen this power in Konoha's records about the First Hokage.
"It is indeed Wood Release."
Fang Xu controlled the finger to transform it back into a branch.
Tender green leaves sprout from the ends of the branches.
The living room then became filled with a vibrant sense of life.
Hatake Sakumo walked around the table and quickly approached Fang Xu.
He reached out and touched the leaf.
A realistic tactile sensation comes from your fingertips.
The veins of the leaves are clearly visible.
Wood Release Chakra was slowly flowing inside the branches.
It's not Genjutsu.
It's not an ordinary Transformation Technique either.
Hatake Sakumo's breathing became noticeably heavier.
"Are you a descendant of the Senju?"
When Awakening Wood Release?
He suddenly remembered that Fang Xu had used a large number of different Kekkei Genkai.
Ice Release.
Lava Release.
Magnet Release.
Each one is enough to support the inheritance of a ninja clan.
However, Wood Release is different from other Bloodline Limit.
That was the unique power of the First Hokage, Hashirama Senju.
Since the founding of Konoha, no one else has truly Awakening.
Strictly speaking, he is indeed Senju descendant.
Fang Xu dispersed the branches from his palm.
" The Second Hokage Tobirama Senju, once called on the Senju to integrate into the village."
Many members of collateral branches of the clan abandoned the surname Senju and intermarried with commoners in the village.
"The same is true for my lineage."
Hatake Sakumo sat down again.
His gaze remained fixed on Fang Xu's palm.
" Awakening more than a year ago?"
"That's right."
"Why have I never seen you use it before?"
"No need."
Fang Xu picked up the teapot and poured another cup for Hatake Sakumo.
"Not many people have actually seen me use Wood Release."
"It was used once when the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist were wiped out."
"Aside from that, he has basically not performed any public demonstrations."
Hatake Sakumo took the teacup, but didn't drink it.
He's still processing this.
A collateral descendant of the Senju.
Awakening Wood Release.
If this news were to spread, Fang Xu's reputation in Konoha would rise even higher.
The New God of Shinobi is already amazing enough.
In addition, with the First Hokage's Wood Release, many villagers even regard Fang Xu as the successor of Hashirama Senju.
"You've certainly hidden it well."
Hatake Sakumo slowly exhaled.
Even I, as the Teacher, didn't know.
" Wood Release isn't something only I can master."
Fang Xu spoke casually.
" Tsunade, Kurenai, and Nazi all possess Sage Body and Wood Release."
Hatake Sakumo stopped holding his teacup again.
"Four people in total?"
He looked up at Fang Xu, wondering if he had misheard.
Tsunade is Hashirama Senju's granddaughter.
"I can barely understand why she possesses Wood Release."
What's the story behind Red and Nazi?
They didn't originally have it.
Fang Xu provided an answer.
"It was given to me."
Hatake Sakumo's fingers suddenly tightened.
A soft gurgling sound came from the surface of the teacup.
"To bestow?"
"Can the Sage Body and Wood Release be artificially bestowed upon others?"
If Wood Release were so easy to obtain, Hiruzen Sarutobi and Shimura Danzō would have already trained a large number of Wood Release user.
Research on Hashirama Cells has continued for many years.
As a result, the number of deaths was countless.
Ultimately, only a handful of people succeed.
Even if they were lucky enough to survive, it would be difficult to truly master the Wood Release power of the First Hokage.
But Fang Xu casually told him that Tsunade, Kurenai, and Nazi all possessed Sage Body and Wood Release.
Hatake Sakumo stared at Fang Xu.
He suddenly realized that he didn't know this disciple nearly as well as he thought.
"If you and Kakashi want it, you can have it too."
Fang Xu took a sip of tea.
"However, Tsunade also participated in a considerable amount of research related to Wood Release."
"Before we perform the bloodline conferment on you, we need to consult her."
