Surging Chakra, Tsunade's Wood Release

Calling it a cell is not entirely accurate.

Because what he obtained from Danzo was the flesh and blood of the First Hokage.

This is an artificial Devil Fruit cultivated using its flesh and blood as nutrients.

However, to avoid offending Tsunade, it's been slightly embellished.

Anyway, he remembered that in the original timeline, Tsunade had also used the First Hokage's cells to develop new Medical Ninjutsu.

At the very least, it should be acceptable, not to the point of rejection.

"The cells of the First Hokage?"

Tsunade's pupils constricted sharply. "I knew it, no wonder something felt off..."

"Simply eat it, and you will gain the power of Wood Release!"

Rikuto made a startling statement.

Tsunade, who already possessed the Tsunade of the Senju clan.

If one were to consume this Devil Fruit, which was cultivated using the flesh and blood of the First Hokage...

The Wood Release he acquired was clearly not the kind that Tenzo could only use for landscaping; rather, it was the kind that was very close to that of the First Hokage.

Of course, how far she can go in the future depends on Tsunade herself.

"What!?"

Wood Release?

Is this true?

Tsunade, Shizune, Karin were all stunned.

He stared at Rikuto in disbelief.

"Of course, combined with my special Wood Release ability, I can directly cultivate this kind of Chakra Fruit in this way..."

Rikuto nodded confidently and said with a smile, "It allows us to perfectly fuse the genes of Kekkei Genkai in a gentler way, and so far, after several experiments, we haven't found any major rejection reactions!"

The advantages of Devil Fruit.

It's not just about enabling people to integrate the genetic information of others that should only be passed down through blood ties from generation to generation.

Furthermore, because it uses the Kekkei Genkai user as nourishment, it can perfectly acquire the Kekkei Genkai of others.

No strong stimulus is needed to easily awaken that extraordinary power, and with just a little practice, one can master this ability.

If one possesses sufficient talent and perseveres in training, reaching or even surpassing the level of that Kekkei Genkai ninja in their lifetime is not a problem.

"Can you really do something like that?"

Tsunade was somewhat stunned.

She knew, of course, that Rikuto's Wood Release was, strictly speaking, far superior to that of the First Hokage.

Extremely special.

It can perfectly absorb any power.

Furthermore, one can even obtain the power of Kekkei Genkai user's Kekkei Genkai from their genes.

Unexpectedly, Rikuto was able to cultivate a fruit that allows one to perfectly obtain another's Kekkei Genkai using this ability.

As expected of... Devil Fruit!

Coupled with its strange appearance, it also contains magical power!

It was like a demonic force!

Absolutely stunning!

"Gurgle!"

Shizune, her face filled with shock.

I couldn't help but swallow hard.

He stared blankly at the Devil Fruit in his hand and Karin's hand. "Rikuto, what are these?"

"Senior Sister Shizune, what you hold in your hand is a fruit that allows someone to inherit the Kekkei Genkai: Swift Release..."

Rikuto shrugged and chuckled, "Moreover, it will significantly increase your Chakra reserves, and may even grant you Chakra Nature Transformation!"

He hadn't expected it.

I haven't even started assigning tasks yet.

The three women had already obtained the artificial Devil Fruit that should have belonged to them.

It can be said that the Shizune possesses the power of Superhuman Strength Fist, and if combined with the Swift Release, which can greatly increase speed.

The combat power they can unleash will undoubtedly be astonishing.

Especially inside the fruit that Shizune.

Strictly speaking, it's not just about Swift Release; it benefits from the Root's extensive collection.

He also deliberately incorporated the bloodline of the Ōtsutsuki Clan, a branch of the Hagoromo Clan that had disappeared in the Shinobi World.

It can greatly increase her Chakra reserves and even improve her Chakra control.

Everyone has their own path; what suits you best is the best one.

Rikuto hadn't considered that everyone should have Wood Release or Sharingan, just like he deliberately gave Kurenai Yuhi Red Eye.

It's impossible for everyone to be as powerful as the First Hokage or Madara Uchiha.

He did feel that being Tsunade's disciple was a good thing.

The Shizune mode is just right.

"Swift Release?"

Shizune was utterly surprised.

She had heard Tsunade mention this rare bloodline before.

It is said to be Kekkei Genkai created by the fusion of the nature transformations of wind and lightning Chakra.

It allows people to move rapidly, even bringing their speed infinitely close to the speed of light.

This prevents the enemy from knowing its location and when to attack.

It is a rather astonishing bloodline limit.

"What about mine?"

Karin, standing nearby, was astonished.

Curious, he shook the banana-shaped red fruit in her hand.

"The one in your hand is Kekkei Genkai that can grant someone the abilities of the Uzumaki Clan, and it can even directly grant them the Uzumaki Clan's ability— the Adamantine Sealing Chains!"

Rikuto stroked Karin's little head and said with a smile, "Because I considered that although you, Karin, possess the bloodline of the Uzumaki Clan, it is ultimately not pure enough to perfectly master the power of the Adamantine Sealing Chains, I specially used the corpses of the Uzumaki Clan to cultivate it!"

In fact.

This wasn't cultivated from the corpses of ordinary Uzumaki Clan.

Instead, it was cultivated using the corpse of the patriarch of the Uzumaki Clan as nourishment.

He never imagined that after the Uzumaki Clan was wiped out, Danzo would be able to obtain the body of the current Uzumaki Clan leader and preserve it so well.

I'm afraid the Uzumaki Clan will be wiped out.

That guy was most likely involved in something behind the scenes as well.

But none of that matters.

He had checked the Chakra attributes of that Uzumaki Clan.

It possesses all six Chakra natures: wind, thunder, fire, water, yin, and yang; it's only missing earth nature to complete its set.

It's just right so that Karin can gain all attributes.

The potential for future achievements is limitless.

At least, I had his guidance.

Relying entirely on that exaggerated amount of Chakra, he first trapped the target with the Adamantine Sealing Chains Barrier, then unleashed the Five Release Great Combo Technique at will.

Instead of being like some of the strongest Hokage, who could only use it as a powerful move.

The kind of thing you won't even be able to use when you get old.

Chapter 158 The Surge of Chakra, Tsunade's Wood Release [Fourth Update]

"Want some?"

Looking at the three women in the room, their faces filled with shock, Rikuto asked with a smile.

He didn't intend to force them if they were unwilling.

"Gulp! Lady Tsunade..." Shizune swallowed hard and looked at Tsunade opposite her.

To be honest, she was somewhat tempted.

Who wouldn't want Kekkei Genkai?

In the Shinobi World, strength is the most reliable guarantee of a ninja's life.

"Wood Release?"

Tsunade's shocked expression gradually returned to calm.

Staring blankly at the cantaloupe-shaped fruit, which was entirely green and had strange patterns, he was somewhat lost in thought.

Once upon a time, countless members of the Senju clan, for the sake of Konoha's future, did not hesitate to cooperate with the Konoha High Command in human experiments, transplanting the Hashirama Cells in an attempt to obtain the power of Wood Release.

The result was a series of tragic deaths, with not a single success.

The death toll was so high that higher authorities had to halt the project and shut it down.

Her younger brother, Nawaki, also sincerely longed to one day awaken Wood Release and protect Konoha like their grandfather, the First Hokage, and quell the chaos of the world.

But now, such an opportunity has been presented to him directly.

Tsunade took a deep breath and said in a low voice, "Since it's a gift from the Rikuto, let's accept it!"

Looking at Shizune and Karin's Devil Fruit, she naturally guessed that this was clearly something Rikuto had carefully prepared for them.

She wasn't some old-fashioned woman, so naturally she wouldn't refuse such a benefit.

However, I can't help but feel a little sentimental.

Things are truly amazing.

I've made up my mind.

The three women held the fruit and took a bite together.

"Vomit--"

Their faces were a mixture of blue and purple.

He stared wide-eyed at Rikuto.

This was a hundred times worse than anything they had ever eaten before; the taste was simply indescribable.

Are you sure you're not just playing with them?

"The taste is a bit strange, but the benefits are unimaginable. Just bear with it for a bit..."

Rikuto coughed lightly.

I could only force a smile.

Watching others experience the same "nightmare" he had gone through one after another, he felt a strange sense of satisfaction.

Good flavors should be shared.

The three women were helpless.

I can only close my eyes.
