Wang Hao knew that the power of origin was the fundamental power of a world, the origin of the world's will.

This primordial power is crucial to any world, but it is rarely revealed. Yet, the power system of this world is the primordial power of the world.

That is, the Chakra unique to Hokage!

Chakra is indeed a powerful force with many uses. It can control earth, water, wind, and fire, making it almost like cheating, far surpassing Innate Qi.

Therefore, it seems that the upper limit and potential of Chakra are still quite good, but the "pseudo" special state at the end is very strange.

"Logically speaking, the God Tree is able to devour the world's primal power, and the Chakra power it generates is the true primal power, which could not possibly be faked."

Then, the first Ten-Tails Jinchuriki, the Sage of Sage of Six Paths, Hagoromo Otsutsuki, spread his Chakra power. So the problem can only lie with Hagoromo Otsutsuki, or perhaps with Kaguya Otsutsuki.

After a moment's thought, Wang Hao quickly pinpointed the source to Hagoromo Otsutsuki and his mother Kaguya Otsutsuki, as only those two had direct contact with the God Tree and the Ten-Tails that it had transformed into.

One is hailed as the originator of Chakra, and the other is the one who spread Chakra. If there's a problem, it must be one of these two people, or they're both behind it.

But the most fatal thing is...

"There are three imprints of will within the Chakra!"

After carefully sensing the Chakra within Ban's body, Wang Hao became even more gloomy.

Normally, the power within a person's body can only bear the imprint of their own will, which is also the foundation for the circulation of power within the body.

But now the Chakra within his body actually possesses three imprints of will, one of which is from his predecessor, and can also be considered his.

The remaining two, deeper and more powerful imprints of will clearly do not belong to oneself.

"No wonder the God Tree subdued all the ninjas in the world as soon as it appeared in the later stages of Hokage, and then Chakra was taken back by Kaguya Otsutsuki. It seems that the larger imprint of will within it must belong to Kaguya Ōtsutsuki."

Without even thinking, Wang Hao was certain that the strongest imprint of will belonged to Kaguya Otsutsuki.

Thinking about it this way, the last imprint of will must belong to the Sage of Six Paths, Hagoromo Otsutsuki.

"Damn it, they're all cunning old foxes!"

Having realized this, Wang Hao couldn't help but complain. Originally, judging from the Hokage storyline, the Sage of Sage of Six Paths Hagoromo Otsutsuki, could be considered a sage, but now it seems that the reality is not like that.

If that person were truly a sage, there would be no way he could have imprinted his will on his Chakra and passed it on to others, allowing this power to continue to expand.

This is practically the second progenitor of Chakra!

With a single thought, the Sage of Six Paths could control all the Chakra in the world, just like Kaguya Otsutsuki could directly reclaim that power.

They might even use this to devise some schemes, which is hardly the behavior of a sage.

" Danzō, it seems you really value Nawaki's Wood Release bloodstains, as you've come to meet me personally!"

Wang Hao was in a bad mood, suddenly changed his expression, stood up and stared coldly at the woods to the side.

After inheriting the memories of his predecessor, Dan Kato, Wang Hao learned the whole story.

Although those actions were mainly driven by his predecessor's ambition, they were also influenced and coerced by certain individuals, one of whom was none other than Danzō, the Darkness of the Shinobi known as the King of Pots.

For example, the killing of Senju Nawaki and the acquisition of his internal organs were Danzō by Danzo. Furthermore, Danzo was a former member of the Root Organization, and his pursuit of Tsunade was also influenced by Danzō.

He just hadn't expected Danzō to value Senju Nawaki's internal organs so much that he would come to meet him personally.

No, to be precise, it wasn't just about providing backup; they probably also wanted to kill to cover their tracks!

Realizing this, Wang Hao became wary, and then suddenly plunged his Kusanagi Sword into the ground beneath his feet. When he pulled it out, the blade was already stained with a trace of blood.

Although he had just received the memories and power of his predecessor, his own True Spirit Sword Intent had also endowed him with powerful perception, which became stronger the closer one got to oneself.

Just now, a subtle presence had crept into the spot beneath his feet, clearly intending to launch a sneak attack, and he naturally wouldn't be polite to it.

You're great!

A figure slowly emerged from the woods. It was a middle-aged man with a cold and hard expression and an X-shaped scar on his chin. He was none other than Danzo, the Darkness of the Shinobi Danzō as the Leaf's King of Blame.

Danzō at the Kusanagi Sword in Wang Hao's hand and the trace of blood on the blade, and his evaluation of this man immediately rose a notch.

He had naturally seen Orochimaru's Kusanagi Sword before, and given Orochimaru's character and methods, there was no way he would lend his own sword to someone else.

Now that the Kusanagi Sword has fallen into Dan Kato's hands, there must have been a conflict between him and Orochimaru, and Orochimaru may have even suffered a loss, having his own sword taken away.

Moreover, the sword strike just now showed that the man in front of him was even stronger than he had imagined. After all, the one who had just emerged from underground was an elite Jonin, a powerful ninja who was very close to the Kage Level and was more skilled at assassinations that concealed his presence.

But now that man had discovered it beforehand and killed him with a single sword strike.

Even he would find it difficult to achieve such a level of skill.

As Danzō finished speaking, a dozen figures appeared around Wang Hao in a flash, forming an encirclement. Each of them wore a mask, revealing only their eyes, and a chilling aura spread outwards.

Clearly, they've come with ill intentions!

These were Danzō's subordinates, elite members of the Root Organization, each a Jonin, practically on par with Kage Level.

Such powerful individuals are few and far between even in Leaf; they likely represent the entire elite force of the Root Organization.

It seems that Danzō really valued the internal organs of the Senju Nawaki, not only coming to receive it in person but also bringing all the elites of the Root Organization, practically mobilizing their entire force.

Ignoring the Root Organization around him, Wang Hao kept his Danzō fixed on Danzo across from him the entire time.

This is a formidable opponent; he is not weak in himself and possesses numerous powerful secret techniques, making him difficult to deal with.

Moreover, Danzō is currently in his prime, his eyes are still open, and his arm is still intact. He is a true Kage Level shinobi, second only to the Third Hokage Hiruzen Sarutobi, in Hidden Leaf Village.

"This was the mission objective, but the heart was suddenly taken by Orochimaru."

After a moment of silence, Wang Hao took out four scrolls from the hidden pockets inside his Jonin vest and threw them at a Root Organization ninja following Danzō.

The other party took the scroll, unwrapped it one by one, and after confirming that the internal organs inside were correct, resealed it and nodded to Danzō to indicate that nothing was missing.

You've been exposed!

After confirming that the internal organs were correct, Danzō finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The cells of the First Hokage Hashirama Senju, were so powerful that transplanting them would almost certainly result in certain death; to this day, there has not been a single successful case.

It just so happens that Senju Nawaki, the grandson of the First Hokage, Awakening the Wood Release Bloodline Limit. The initial Awakening of the Wood Release Bloodline Limit was not strong, making it most suitable for research and transplantation.

This was the key to him obtaining and mastering the power of the First Hokage, so he couldn't be careless. That's why he personally brought his elite subordinates to meet him.

Originally, Dan Kato also coveted the power of the Wood Release bloodstains, and he was worried that this pawn might make some underhanded moves. Now it seems that this guy is quite sensible.

"Yes, I've been exposed!"

Wang Hao nodded, but became even more wary.

"You know the rules of the Root. Will you do it yourself, or will I order you to be sent on your way?"

Danzō's expression remained cold and hard, but a murderous intent surged within his eyes.

Dan Kato is no longer of any use; on the contrary, he knows many secrets. Such a useless person, who can even threaten one's own existence, must not be allowed to live.

"I do understand the rules of the Roots, but I don't want to die!"

Wang Hao's lips curled slightly, revealing a cold smile.

This battle is unavoidable!

As soon as he finished speaking, Danzō's expression hardened even further.

At the same time, the powerful members of the Root Organization around them seemed to be of one mind and acted in unison. One group stayed in place, forming hand seals and releasing Ninjutsu, while the other group drew their ninja swords from their backs and used the Body Flicker Technique to rush forward, clearly wanting to engage Wang Hao in close combat.

As the core members, they wouldn't be foolish enough to engage in one-on-one battles with their opponents. Instead, they would utilize their greatest strengths to launch a pincer attack, striving to minimize their losses.

Otherwise, they would inevitably suffer losses in a desperate counterattack, which must be avoided.

" The Nara Clan's shadow Ninjutsu?"

Wang Hao froze, glancing at the Root Organization expert who had connected his shadow to the other's, and guessed the other's identity.

This type of shadow- Ninjutsu can only be possessed by the Nara Clan of Hidden Leaf Village, so the opponent is clearly from the Nara Clan.

The Nara Clan, along with the Yamanaka Clan and Akimichi Clan, are collectively known as the Ino–Shika–Chō. Since there are strong members of the Nara Clan, there must also be strong members of the Yamanaka Clan and Akimichi Clan. Together, the three are enough to fight against a stronger opponent of a higher level.

As expected, Wang Hao was right. At the same time that the shadow was trapped, a strange Chakra invaded his mind, trying to control him.

Suddenly, a fat, tall, and powerful Root Organization expert's body rapidly expanded, transforming into a large sphere that crushed towards them.

This is the most classic teamwork tactic of the Ino–Shika–Chō trio. With the strength of these three elite Jonin, even Kage Level shinobi would find it extremely troublesome to encounter them.

Wang Hao's predecessor was indeed a Kage Level expert; if they had met before, he would definitely have suffered a loss, but things are different now.

The powerful Yamanaka Clan suddenly screamed and collapsed to the ground. Immediately afterward, the shadow trapped by the powerful member of the Nara Clan was also cut off by Wang Hao wielding the Kusanagi Sword.

With the final thrust, the large sphere that the powerful member of the Akimichi Clan had transformed into was pierced through, letting out a miserable scream as it crashed diagonally into a large tree on the other side.

Thus, the combined tactics of the three powerful races of Ino–Shika–Chō were broken, and broken decisively, catching everyone off guard.

However, the ninjas from the Root Organization are known for being devoid of emotions and desires; they are the purest killing machines and would never experience surprise.

After the three Ino–Shika–Chō ninjas failed, five ninjas, forming the Second Tier of the attack, stepped forward and thrust their ninja swords at Wang Hao's vital points. If even one of them succeeded, Wang Hao would surely die.

Although ninjas do not possess sword energy, the five ninja swords are imbued with wind and lightning Chakra, which are ideal for surprise attacks.

Unfortunately, Wang Hao's forte is close combat, especially when he has a longsword in hand.

A flash of sword light, and the heads of the four attacking ninjas flew off and fell to the ground. Only one of them survived, at the cost of losing an arm.

That wasn't the end of it; the third wave of attacks followed, giving Wang Hao no chance to catch his breath.
