If his Wood Clone had been carrying several Explosive Tag during the battle, combined with the paralysis from poison and the binding effect of vines, the explosion would have been lethal, and none of the subsequent events would have occurred.
Secondly, this green Chakra is unusual!
Araki still hasn't fully determined what the green Chakra actually is.
At first, he thought it was related to the First Hokage Hashirama Senju, and that it might be the First Chakra. But he always felt that such a thought was a bit narcissistic, since he had no connection with the First.
The one who is truly connected is Nawaki!
Nawaki died as soon as it was put on!
Is this really my grandfather?!
But if we say it's unrelated, then what is it related to?
Could it be...?
This is a system that requires a special triggering method?!
Araki felt that this answer was very unreliable, but he didn't yet have a more accurate answer in mind as to what kind of reliable interpretation to use, so he simply left it as a question mark to ponder later.
In short, no matter what, this green Chakra is awesome!
The third, and perhaps the biggest lesson Araki learned this time, was the best experience he gained from Dan Katō...
Tsunade is a real gem!
Dan Katō wanted to turn his life around because the Jonin was practically the limit for ninja advancement; all other paths were essentially closed off.
On the surface, Konoha appears to be fair, with many positions at the higher levels, such as advisors and various department heads.
But upon closer inspection, it becomes clear that all of these people in power have close ties.
Who truly rose to their position through merit?
It's all about finding capable people through connections, and then using connections to get those who are capable!
Looking at the most powerful people in Konoha right now, they are all disciples of the Second Hokage Tobirama Senju. Below them are members of their respective clans who are closely related to their clans, as well as high-ranking members of the next-level clans who are on good terms with their clans.
Konoha is essentially a huge network of relationships. To achieve better development, one needs a powerful backer. By entering this network, they simultaneously become the support of that backer.
They complement each other.
Hiruzen Sarutobi made the Sarutobi Clan what it is today, Sarutobi Clan grew stronger to support Hiruzen Sarutobi.
The other families simply couldn't compete with them.
This can be seen from the Ninja Academy. If you want to become a teacher at the academy, there is no difficulty. As long as you are Chunin, you can sign up to take the exam. It's similar to an academic qualification requirement.
However, if you want to work in the academic affairs office, or even become a principal, it's simply a pipe dream without some family background.
Araki was well aware of his own situation. Compared to Dan Katō Dan Katō, he was even worse off. At least the latter was a Jonin, while he wasn't even Genin yet, and hadn't even made it to the lowest level of exploitation.
If one wants to live a good life in the future without risking their life to rise from the slave class to the landlord class, then, like Dan Katō, Tsunade is probably the only path they can take.
There's no other way!
Araki sighed inwardly at this thought, lamenting that he hadn't even mastered the philosophy of reincarnation, and had even had his family's house taken from him.
The only thing I can do is study medicine properly.
From now on, I'll be using Tsunade's connections!
Chapter 28 The Will of Fire, Order and Rules! (Second Update)
In a short period of time, Araki thought about many things, all of which were related to his plans for the future.
It has to be said.
The ninja world also has a certain degree of social order.
Even the most powerful ninjas, who can break certain rules to some extent, will only become public enemies, like Madara Uchiha.
However, if one can make good use of the order, one may be able to turn the tables and become the one who maintains the order, someone who is worshipped by people, and thus become a positive big boss in people's hearts, similar to Hashirama Senju.
These are two completely different development paths.
Araki had considered this before.
actually.
He had considered what would happen if his Wood Release techniques were discovered in the future.
If he doesn't have the intention to cultivate himself, but rather the intention to put himself in a petri dish, then he'll simply leave.
He embarked directly on the path of betraying the village!
but...
After spending the past three years studying Ninja Academy textbooks and learning about the Genin system, he gained a deeper understanding of the ninja world and a clearer understanding of a certain principle.
Defection was merely an act of impulse.
It's like in your past life, before you time-traveled, when someone made you angry, you would resort to physical violence.
No one is like Zhang San, the lawless outlaw.
That kind of action might seem like a momentary act of venting anger, but in reality, it could lead to the other party getting a new car.
The root cause is that the rules were broken by using fists, or rather, force.
Breaking the rules by hitting others doesn't necessarily mean breaking the rules entirely; in other words, the fist is tougher than the one who made the rules. Ultimately, this becomes a violation of the rules and will result in more severe penalties.
Araki had never thought about it at this level before.
It wasn't until he experienced Dan Katō's incident that he gained a deeper understanding.
The reason why the Uchiha Clan couldn't defeat the Sarutobi Clan and Shimura Clan wasn't because the Uchiha Clan lacked power, but because they were playing the role of violating the rules. If they didn't have enough power to break, overthrow, and then rebuild the order, they would only become propaganda for those who set the order to maintain it, serving as a negative example of violating the order.
Throughout the entire ninja world, every village, not just Konoha, establishes its own order.
Defection means becoming missing-nin, which will result in being wanted by the entire ninja world, and no village will tolerate you.
Araki had watched the Naruto anime, and from a historical perspective, no missing-nin ever ended up living a good life.
Even someone as powerful as Madara Uchiha could be overthrown.
Araki did not believe he was stronger than Madara Uchiha.
Especially when those who break the rules are powerful enough, they can even make the ninja world, which has such intense pain and hatred between them, temporarily put everything aside and unite to form the Allied Shinobi Forces.
The fundamental reason why the Allied Shinobi Forces were able to gain the support of the entire ninja world and various daimyo was that they stood on the "correct" side. They were upholding the order designated by those in power and suppressing those who disrupted the order.
Araki didn't want to experience the feeling of being surrounded by enemies.
He didn't have such a strong desire to dominate, nor did he want to carve out a blood-stained Shinobi World.
He was the kind of very simple, model youth who had been influenced by the core socialist values.
Although he scoffed at some of the brainwashing techniques in the ninja world, after learning about the textbook's contents, he praised this sophisticated brainwashing technique highly.
The meaning of fire.
That's great!
If this is the excuse he uses to control others...
That would be even better!
Araki felt that he wasn't the kind of highly skilled talent. Giving him a territory would allow him to become a local overlord by farming and developing technology. It would be better to simply take what was readily available and become the one who maintained order in the ninja world, the landlord.
As the saying goes, the boy who slays the dragon will eventually become a dragon himself!
Now, at this very moment.
Araki realized what he truly wanted.
He didn't want to defect from Konoha Konoha become the "Dragon's" enemy just because there was a "Dragon." Instead, he quietly developed his strength, carefully managed his resources, and used the relationships and methods he built to become the "Dragon" himself!
By that time...
Now these dragons are no longer obstacles in his path, but rather a moat that helps him defend his position, making it less easy for others to come into contact with the "dragons."
This understanding is actually quite simple...
Do you think your colleagues are enemies?
Do you think your boss is the enemy?
Do you consider your competitors to be enemies?
In fact...
The capitalists at the very top are the real big bosses, but you're just working for them and making money.
Araki wants to do is become a true "capitalist" in the ninja world.
"Fun! Really fun! So much fun!"
After figuring Araki out, Araki's eyes shone brightly, and he found his direction in life. The ninja world might see many individual Madara Uchiha in the future, but it would be difficult for another Hashirama Senju to emerge. So he could try to become Hashirama Senju and become the true big boss who truly rules and dominates the ninja world in terms of rules and power.
What's interesting?
Uchiha Mikoto watched Araki mutter strangely, her beautiful, dark eyes sparkling with a peculiar light.
" Mikoto, I have a question I want to ask you. Please answer me seriously," Araki suddenly turned around and said.
"Huh?" Uchiha Mikoto was taken aback by the suddenness of the situation and said, "You say it."
"What would you do if I killed Sora Hyuga?" Araki asked.
"Didn't you say it wasn't you?" Uchiha Mikoto's expression suddenly changed, and she became tense.
"I mean, if." Araki completely ignored Uchiha Mikoto's expression.
"Then, then, then you committed murder and will be sent to Konoha Prison to be judged by the Hokage." Uchiha Mikoto said, pursing her lips. Actually, this question was a bit beyond her scope. She wasn't even Konoha Military Police Force, let alone the Konoha Military Police Force, which only had law enforcement power, not judicial power.
"Then let me ask you another question, what if the Hokage killed Sora Hyuga?" Araki said meaningfully.
"W-you, you, you, what do you mean?" Uchiha Mikoto's face darkened further. She shrank back and asked cautiously, "Do you know something?"
"I mean, if," Araki emphasized again.
"No way!" Uchiha Mikoto thought for a moment and shook her head, saying, "How could the Lord Hokage kill Sora Hyuga? The Lord Hokage is the most benevolent being; such a thing wouldn't happen!"
"I mean..." Araki could even utter the word "if," Uchiha Mikoto understood.
