The First Hokage, I Want to Learn Wood Release! Main God, Screw Your Grandfather!

The broken crown of the Statue of Liberty lay askew in the sea, Fang Yu, with his long hair and unshaven beard, sat cross-legged on a stone slab topped with spikes.

This is his second year in the Resident Evil world.

The three Granite Toad were arranged in a triangular formation, with abundant Natural Energy constantly flowing into Fang Yu from all around.

This is Energy Guidance Device carved according to the Sage Art Manual at Mount Myōboku. Each stone Toad holds a kunai engraved with Kunai Sage Talisman in its Central City.

With humanity nearly extinct, factories worldwide ceasing operations, and cities overgrown with moss, Fang Yu had already accumulated a considerable amount of energy, even though it remained scarce.

He flicked his finger on the forehead of the central stone Toad, and fluorescent green Energy Liquid seeped out from the cracks.

As the groove on the stone Toad's back gradually filled with Natural Energy, Fang Yu's left shoulder suddenly swelled uncontrollably as the salty sea breeze of New York Bay swept over the back of his neck.

He quickly bit his right thumb and smeared the blood into the eye socket of the stone Toad on the right side. The clicking sound of gears turning came from inside the stone carving. Excess energy was channeled into the seawater through the Kunai wire, creating a 20-meter-high wave.

"It lasted forty minutes longer than last week, but it was still too short, not nearly as long as it lasted with Ashley."

Another month has passed in the blink of an eye.

On the 646th attempt, the surface of the Toad granite suddenly began to peel off!

"Um!?"

Fang Yu pressed down on the spine of the second stone Toad from the left, and the Yang Release Chakra he injected caused the surface of the stone carving to display Sage Art Markings that were exactly the same as those of Mount Myōboku!

Orange-red eyeshadow gradually spread under his eyelids, and his earlobes lengthened to his collarbone, a sign that the Sage Art Fusion was about to be completed.

"Sizzle!"

When the seventh group of stone Toad arrays began to operate stably, Fang Yu finally caught that fleeting moment of balance.

His pupils contracted into vertical lines resembling those of a reptile, Sage Mode Markings formed a complete Mount Myōboku Sun Wheel Seal on his forehead!

"It's done!"

He touched his face, especially his nose.

Fang Yu breathed a sigh of relief when he discovered that Jiraiya's Sage Art Toad Nose had not appeared.

He didn't have a mirror at the moment, but he knew that he looked almost exactly like Sage Mode Naruto.

"Is this what Sage Mode feels like?"

"Then..."

Fang Yu adopted a strange starting stance!

Feeling the experience from tens of thousands of practice sessions, Fang Yu shouted!

"Immortal Technique: Welcoming Approach: Thousand-Hand Kill!"

A 150-meter-tall Kannon Statue appeared in the sky above Liberty Island. Although the Ghoul had become accustomed to such miracles after Ghoul years, they still couldn't help but tremble when they saw the Kannon Statue, which had grown to tens of meters in height.

"Boom—"

"Smack!"

The Chakra Buddha Palm slammed down, sending seawater soaring a thousand meters high! A torrential downpour began in New York City, and several Ghoul who were devouring zombies were terrified, their eyes instantly becoming crystal clear.

Fang Yu was very satisfied with the effect of the Thousand-Hand Strike, but this was just the beginning.

Unlike Jiraiya's two Toad helpers, Shima and Fukasaku.

Fang Yu's Senjutsu assistants were four Earth Grudge Fear.

Four Earth Grudge Fear stood behind him, each wearing a chakra mask of the corresponding element.

The moment Fang Yu formed the Great Fireball Seal, Wind Release: Earth Grudge Fear unleashed Wind Release: Pressure Damage, and the flames ignited with the purple flames enhanced by the Senjutsu, crashing into the Empire State Building with a hurricane!

"Composite Ninjutsu: Sage Art: Flame Wind Violent Wave!"

The Havok from the fusion of wind, fire Senjutsu penetrated the middle of the building, and the steel structure melted into a waterfall of Molten Iron in the Sage Art Purple Flame!

Floors not directly hit collapsed in a chain reaction due to the Negative Pressure Effect, and glass curtain walls within a three-kilometer radius were shattered into powder.

A Ghoul gnawing on a thigh tapped the shoulder of the Ghoul next to him. "Stop, stop eating! Quick, look at God!"

The Oni Mask of the Water Release: Earth Grudge Fear cracked open, spewing out a powerful stream of water!

Forty-four seals were completed in almost two seconds. Anyone who saw Fang Yu's hand speed would be amazed!

"Water Release: Sage Art: Crimson Water Dragon!"

This is a terrifying water dragon that is 400 meters long!

The moment the water dragon appeared, the zombies stopped walking in confusion.

These inferior beings turned and ran away without a trace of regret.

The moment the water cannon slammed into the Brooklyn Bridge, the bridge's steel reinforcement reacted like butter to a hot knife. When the water cannon hit the water, the water level could be clearly seen to rise slightly!

Such a massive amount of water could extinguish any burning building, let alone whether a Devil Fruit User could withstand it.

Lightning Release: Earth Grudge Fear unfolds its small, metallic wings, and Fang Yu makes a fist towards the Statue of Liberty, "Lightning Release: Sage Art: False Darkness!"

The statue of the goddess vaporized under the lightning strike, Torch Arm bent and melted into molten copper that poured into the sea!

The enhancements to Fang Yu's physique and Ninjutsu from Sage Mode far exceeded his expectations, and his chakra reserves were more than three times higher than before.

Fang Yu formed the Snake Seal Mudra with his hands in front of his chest. A gentle breeze swept by, carrying a faint scent of watermelon. The shout that burst from his throat shattered the last intact glass curtain wall of Times Square.

"Celestial Art: Deep Forest Emergence!"

Rumble—

The asphalt pavement on Wall Street surged as if boiling, and twelve Thousand-Year-Old Scholar Tree, some over a thousand years old, sprouted from the ground!

The trunks of these giant trees expanded at a rate of two meters per second, and the exterior tiles of the Morgan Stanley Building were crushed into dust by the bark.

Pregnant Ashley witnessed a 40-story office building being pierced by a horizontally growing hemlock in ten seconds, with the reinforced concrete shattering and falling like fragile wafers.

Suddenly, a hundred-meter-high mound rises from the lawn of Central Park, and Tree Tower of five redwoods pierces the clouds. Their roots weave a network underground, transforming the entire Manhattan Island Subway System into a tree-root corridor.

Hours later, Ada Wong showed through Thermal Imager that the surface temperature in New York was constant at 20°C.

All the trees formed a sophisticated Heat Circulation System, and the zombies became nutrients for the trees, filling the air with a pleasant fragrance.

The air in New York smells so sweet now.

Fang Yu stood on the huge tree trunk and nodded in satisfaction.

"Natural Energy is about to explode."

Inside the winding passages of Sound Hidden Village, dim lights flickered, and torches on the walls crackled.

Uchiha Yu hurried along, his black Ninja Outfit appearing particularly somber in the dim light, with only the hem of his clothes swaying gently in the wind, revealing his inner urgency.

Upon arriving at the entrance of Orochimaru's New Lab, Uchiha Yu turned back and thanked him, saying, "Thank you."

Tayuya's lips curled up into a playful smile, "Hmph, it's rare for you, Uchiha Yu, to come to Sound Hidden Village to see Lord Orochimaru, so naturally I'll treat you well."

After saying that, she playfully flicked her ponytail and walked away with light steps.

Push the door open and enter.

Orochimaru wasn't conducting experiments at the moment; he was toying with a slender snake in his hand, its body emitting a red glow similar to that of Ghoul.

Upon seeing Uchiha Yu enter, he slightly raised his eyes, his snake-like pupils gleaming with a sinister light. "What brings you here this time? I imagine it's not to demand the experimental results, is it?"

Uchiha Yu said in a deep voice, "I want your help to Impure World Reincarnation the Hashirama Senju."

Upon hearing this, Orochimaru's hand trembled violently. He was taken aback for a moment, then threw his head back and burst into laughter. "Your request is quite interesting. What do you want to do?"

"To be honest, it's quite embarrassing." Uchiha Yu revealed his fair shoulders. "I got my hands on Hashirama Cells and fused them perfectly."

"Wh-what?!"

Even Orochimaru showed an expression of utter surprise the moment he saw Hashirama Cells.

When he was researching Hashirama Cells, countless people died, and in the end, he never saw the experiment succeed.

"That's unbelievable! What are you going to offer me in exchange?"

Uchiha Yu looked directly into Orochimaru's eyes. "Anything within my power."

As he spoke, he pulled out a mask.

"This is..."

Orochimaru looked at the still-warm Shinigami mask that Uchiha Yu had stolen from the Uzumaki Clan Shrine, a smirk playing on his lips. He nodded slightly and said, "Interesting. Deal."

As soon as he finished speaking, Orochimaru swiftly Hand Seal, his movements so fast they were almost invisible.

In an instant, runes flickered in the secret chamber, the ground trembled violently, and a powerful and eerie aura spread out.

It is said that selling one's soul to the Grim Reaper is an act with no room for compromise, but Orochimaru manages to take full advantage of the Grim Reaper.

"In that case, I'll need to complete the reincarnation ahead of schedule." Orochimaru licked his lips lightly.

Please.

As a woman was pushed into the room, the air around them grew increasingly tense.

The woman had a look of holy worship on her face, and it seemed that she had voluntarily been reincarnated by Orochimaru.

Orochimaru snorted coldly, first summoning the Grim Reaper, then cutting open the Grim Reaper's belly and taking out the Blue Soul that Reaper Death Seal.

The Orochimaru immediately activated the Living Corpse Reincarnation to transfer his soul.

But his own body was left empty-handed by death.

Death didn't say much and left the room directly.

The reborn Auntie Snake was somewhat weak, but she still clasped her hands together.

"Impure World Reincarnation!"

An Ancient Coffin slowly emerged from the ground, its lid slowly opening with a chilling creaking sound.

Hashirama Senju, dressed in familiar attire, his eyes filled with doubt and vigilance as he quickly scanned his surroundings.

Upon seeing this, Uchiha Yu immediately stepped forward and bowed respectfully. "Lord Hashirama, I am Uchiha Yu. I have long admired your Daimyo and have come here today to learn Wood Release Technique from you."

Hashirama Senju frowned as he looked back and forth between Hashirama Senju Uchiha Yu and Orochimaru, then sighed and rubbed his forehead in exasperation, "Looks like Tobirama's techniques are causing trouble again. I told him a long time ago not to use these techniques. Sigh!"

Uchiha Yu hurriedly explained, "Lord Hashirama, I am single-mindedly pursuing strength, solely to inherit the Will of Fire. Wood Release Technique will surely be of great help to me."

As he spoke, he exposed his shoulder.

Hashirama Senju frowned. "Although I don't know how you did it, but..."

Hashirama looked at Orochimaru, "That guy was attacking a little Monkey last time, wasn't he? Why would I help his subordinate? Besides, you're with him."

Uchiha Yu's expression changed slightly, and he hurriedly said, "Injustice! Injustice! Deep down, I have always upheld the Will of Fire, and that has never changed! As for the rest, they were persecuted. It was Danzo and Hiruzen Sarutobi who were inhuman. Let me explain in detail."

Uchiha Yu gave Orochimaru evidence of the crimes committed by two Konoha Elders, leaving Orochimaru stunned.

That expression seemed to say, "Who's the villain? Who's the good guy?"

However, Hashirama Senju remained unmoved, his face as calm as still water.

Uchiha Yu was frantic, his mind racing. Suddenly, an idea struck him. "Lord Hashirama, if you don't believe me, why don't you come back to Konoha with me? I have no proof; let's see how the Konoha Villagers treat me."

Upon hearing this, Hashirama Senju's eyes flashed with a unique light. After all, he had been away from Konoha for many years, and his longing and curiosity for the village were instantly ignited. He replied with great interest, "Very well."

After he finished speaking, his tense expression relaxed, and he covered his head with one hand and laughed loudly, "I never thought that I would see Konoha again after so many years. The technique created by Tobirama has finally played its due role."

Orochimaru shook his head, saying, "The Impure World Reincarnation hasn't been improved yet, and its duration is extremely limited. I have to stay near Konoha to maintain this technique, which is very troublesome. If it's used outside the barrier, the control over the Impure World Reincarnation will be greatly reduced."

Orochimaru stared at the First Hokage with a malicious look. "Besides, aren't you afraid that the people of Konoha will see you with me?"

Uchiha Yu's lips curled into a confident smile, as if all the world's problems could be easily solved in front of him.

He flashed to Hashirama Senju's side and placed his hand firmly on Hashirama's shoulder. In an instant, ripples spread through the surrounding space, as if a boulder had been thrown into a calm lake. The two figures disappeared instantly, accompanied by a distortion of light and shadow.

Orochimaru's snake-like eyes widened in astonishment. Before he could recover from the sudden turn of events, a Flying Thunder God Mark suddenly lit up beneath his feet, Uchiha Yu reappeared.

A blinding flash of light! As the light dimmed, Uchiha Yu's figure appeared before him.

Before Orochimaru could react, Uchiha Yu reached out and grabbed his arm firmly, then activated the Flying Thunder God Technique again.

In the blink of an eye, the three of them found themselves in a small alley in Konoha.

The unique liveliness and hustle and bustle of Konoha instantly enveloped them, with the cries of street vendors and the laughter and play of children mingling together.

Fang Yu casually grabbed a straw hat from a nearby stall, deftly placed it on Orochimaru's head, and whispered, "Keep a low profile."

Then, he turned to face Hashirama Senju, who was also wearing a straw hat, and said with great enthusiasm, "Come on, First Hokage, I will show you around Konoha today."

Uchiha Yu, accompanied by Hashirama Senju and Orochimaru, strode through the streets of Konoha.

The moment the street vendors saw him, their eyes instantly showed respect.

An elderly woman selling pastries greeted him warmly with a smile, "Sir! You have some free time to come out and stroll around today? Would you like to try some of my newly made pastries?"

Yu smiled and nodded in thanks.

The old man selling ninja tools put down the knives he was wiping, clasped his hands in a respectful bow, and said, "Sir, I was just passing by and thought I'd come in to see if there's anything suitable for you?"

Uchiha Yu responded to each question, displaying his friendliness in every gesture.

Just then, a group of ninjas approached. Orochimaru instinctively tensed up, a murderous glint flashing in his eyes.

The Anbu Captain looked up and saw Yu, a friendly smile immediately appearing on his face. Teuchi greeting, "Going shopping?"

Uchiha Yu waved his hand, "Okay, you guys get on with your work."

They then led their team members away in an orderly fashion, without questioning the two men in straw hats.

Orochimaru stared in disbelief, muttering to himself, "He's always causing trouble in Konoha, so how come this kid is so popular?"

Hashirama Senju walked, he looked around in amazement.

Konoha, which used to consist of only earthen mounds and dilapidated houses, is now bustling with traffic and teeming with life.

He couldn't help but marvel. "I never imagined the village would change so much."

Uchiha Yu explained, "If the foundation is laid well, as long as the subsequent Kage are not incompetent, the development will only get better and better."

The three of them soon arrived at a quiet place.

The surrounding bricks and stones are flat, making it look like a commercial street.

Although the house was neat, it had a desolate feel to it.

I didn't see a single person.

Hashirama Senju looked puzzled and asked, "Where is this place?"

With a solemn expression, Uchiha Yu said slowly, "First Hokage, this is the Uchiha Clan Compound."

Hashirama Senju frowned, increasingly puzzled. "How could the Uchiha Clan Compound be so remote? And why does it feel so lifeless, with not a soul in sight?"

Uchiha Yu took a deep breath and, in a low voice, told Hashirama Senju in detail about how the Third Hiruzen Sarutobi, had suppressed the Uchiha Clan after taking office, and how Danzo had sabotaged things behind the Danzo.

Finally, he recounted the horrific Clan Massacre of his clan.

"We almost got wiped out." Uchiha Yu shrugged.

Upon hearing this, Hashirama Senju's face turned deathly pale.

He never imagined that Danzo would do something so cruel, sending the "Inheritors of the Will of Fire" to massacre the Uchiha Clan.

Thinking that this was the Clans of his best friend Madara Uchiha, and now it had fallen to such a state, and that Konoha was treating the Uchiha Clan differently, with only Uchiha Yu and young Sasuke remaining in the clan's territory, Hashirama Senju was filled with self-blame and sorrow, muttering to himself, "Madara, Madara, how am I supposed to face you?"

"So, Lord Hashirama."

Uchiha Yu interrupted the First Hokage's thoughts, "Sir, shall we teach or not?"

Hashirama Senju frowned slightly. "Wood Release... only I know it. Are you sure you can do that?"

Before he could finish speaking, Uchiha Yu his hands together and chanted, "Wood Release: Four-Pillar Prison!"

Both Hashirama Senju and Orochimaru were stunned to see a huge wooden prison rising in the center of the Uchiha Clan Compound!

"It really is Wood Release!" Hashirama Senju forward and touched it. "The chakra is very concentrated! Wait! This smell..."

Uchiha Yu preemptively explained, "When the Nine-Tails destroyed the village, I fought the Nine-Tails to the death and accidentally absorbed some of Nine-Tails chakra. It wasn't much, but it had a smell."

Hashirama Senju nodded blankly. "I understand, alright. Since it's come to this, then I'll..."

"I'll teach you Wood Release! But I'm not a good teacher, so how much you learn depends on your own fate."

Uchiha Yu nodded. "With your words, I promise I'll learn it all!"

Below the sphere of light, Zhao Yingkong felt as if she had only blinked once. Fang Yu's figure disappeared and reappeared, and his full beard and long hair, similar to Chen Haonan's, seemed to be telling the story of the passage of time.

"How is it?" Zhao Yingkong asked.

"Very good," Fang Yu replied.

The rest period in the Reincarnation Space passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, the day to begin the reincarnation began.

Zheng Zha squatted in the Main God Plaza, holding Lori in his arms. Zhang Heng looked preoccupied, holding the Inkuk Bow in his hand, his eyes darting around.

Zhao Yingkong checked the equipment one last time, and the four of them silently waited for the cycle to begin.

"Reincarnation will begin in ten seconds."

"Ten."

"Nine."

"Three."

"Two"

Just as the countdown was about to reach one, the four of them heard a voice at the same time!

[The Atlantis Team uses F-rank Authority to specify the Legend of Mount Shu Reincarnation mode, and the team battle begins.]

A flash of white light, Fang Yu was the first to wake up.

He hadn't yet had time to process the news that the Atlantis Team had designated the Shushan Plane, and was instead looking around blankly.

Besides the three members of the Central Continent Team, there were sixteen newcomers lying on the ground.

All around them were walls of blood reeking of stench, and skeletons glowing red.

Fang Yu stood there dumbfounded until the other three members of the Central Continent Team woke up, then gritted his teeth and cursed, "Damn it! I even drank the Ghoul Purification Liquid! How did I end up on the Netherworld Blood Demon Faction?!"
