Chapter 45 - Chapter 45: Wood Style Ninja

Tobirama Senju's research had made new progress.

With the help of the Wood Talisman, he seemed to have understood the true nature of wood-style power.

As a result, his Wood Style experiments had a breakthrough. To be precise, Tobirama had mastered Wood Style.

As is well known, chakra nature transformation is the use of chakra to simulate the elements of the world. As a versatile energy, chakra can mimic almost anything.

After wearing the Wood Talisman for a while, Tobirama had successfully used his chakra to mimic its power: the power of plant growth.

It is also well known that people like Hashirama Senju, although they mastered Wood Style, couldn't explain how to use it. Their explanations were as abstract and incomprehensible as Naruto's explanation of the Rasengan to Konohamaru. It wasn't that they didn't want to explain; they just couldn't. It was a problem of being uneducated.

Tobirama was different. Any power he mastered, he could organize into a systematic and concrete training method.

When Tobirama learned to use Wood Style, it meant one thing: the era of mass-produced Wood Style ninja was not far off.

It's only logical that Konoha, the Village Hidden in the Leaves, would be a village of Wood Style ninja, right?

After confirming that he had mastered Wood Style, he immediately called over An Yan, Orochimaru, and Hiruko to teach them how to synthesize Wood Style with water and earth chakra natures.

The three of them were the new generation who had mastered Konoha's forbidden jutsu. It wouldn't hurt to master one more secret technique.

The prerequisite for learning Wood Style was to master both water and earth nature transformations. Fortunately, An Yan had mastered them long ago. He had even started practicing other chakra natures.

Orochimaru was also born with water and earth chakra natures, and as a genius, he had mastered them early on.

Only Hiruko was a little behind. He didn't have a natural affinity for earth chakra and had to start from scratch.

With the help of his system, the moment Tobirama finished his explanation, An Yan slapped his palm on the ground. A tree immediately grew from a seedling to a towering ten-meter-tall tree, its massive trunk crowding out the surrounding bamboo.

The matter of Wood Style was of great importance. The training process was conducted within the Wood Talisman's domain space.

Seeing An Yan successfully use Wood Style, Tobirama was relieved. It seemed his understanding of Wood Style was not a fluke and could be passed on to the next generation.

He immediately began to teach An Yan other Wood Style secret techniques. As Hashirama's younger brother, he had been involved in the development of all of his brother's Wood Style techniques and knew how to develop them.

Orochimaru soon also used Wood Style. A verdant tree shot up, pushing aside the bamboo. Hiruko watched with envy. Chakra nature transformation was not something that could be learned in a day or two. Even a Jonin was usually only proficient in two.

So, Hiruko was destined to be a step behind.

After both An Yan and Orochimaru had successfully learned Wood Style, Tobirama sent them back to their posts and went to the Senju compound himself.

The matter of Wood Style was of great importance. Tobirama now had to carefully consider whether to keep it as a secret technique of the Senju clan or to make it an advanced forbidden jutsu of the entire village, transforming a clan secret into a village secret.

In the end, Tobirama made his decision. The Senju clan had mostly integrated into the village. The village was now the clan. There was no difference. What he needed to do now was to convince the remaining few old, weak, and sick members of the Senju clan.

When all the remaining Senju had gathered, Tobirama activated the Wood Talisman and brought them all into its domain space.

"Is this a new ninjutsu developed by Lord Tobirama? Amazing!"

"As expected of the master of forbidden jutsu! He's created another one without a word."

"This place is so beautiful! What is it? I want to retire here."

The Senju clan members began to chatter excitedly.

Tobirama cleared his throat, and the noise immediately died down. All eyes were on him.

He looked at the clansmen who had lost limbs in the First Great Ninja War, his eyes slightly moist.

"Everyone, I have good news. I have developed Wood Style."

The crowd erupted.

The prestige of Wood Style in the hearts of the Senju was self-evident. Tobirama's words were like dropping a bomb.

He understood their excitement. He had also been extremely excited when he first developed it and hadn't slept for forty-eight hours.

When the clansmen had calmed down a bit, Tobirama continued.

"I plan to give the Wood Style to the village. What do you all think?"

The crowd, which had just quieted down, erupted again.

"Masahiko gave his life for the Wood Style experiments! Why should we give the secret technique to the village now that it's successful? How much more must our Senju clan sacrifice for Konoha?"

"My older brother also died in the Wood Style experiments! He didn't die on the battlefield, but on the operating table! Why should the village now enjoy the fruits of our victory?"

Tobirama was first surprised, then his eyes turned cold. He moved his fingers, and two water bullets shot out, hitting the two people who had been stirring up the crowd.

The two were very weak and died instantly. Their bodies suddenly transformed into strange, white, unclothed humanoid creatures.

Tobirama stared at the two non-human corpses, his eyes narrowing. When did these things infiltrate Konoha?

He looked around. If he hadn't known the two people they were impersonating, their personalities, and their family situations, he wouldn't have noticed anything was wrong. What a brilliant disguise.

Are there any more of these impostors among the remaining clansmen? Are there similar impostors in the other ninja clans of Konoha?

Tobirama suddenly remembered that when he succeeded the Second Hokage, the Uchiha clan's opposition had been unexpectedly strong. If someone had been deliberately provoking them, it would make sense.

He immediately began to screen his clansmen one by one, asking them private or probing questions. Seeing what had happened, the clansmen were very cooperative. Sure enough, they found another impostor.

Looking at the white monster tied up before him, Tobirama's eyes were icy. He placed a hand on its head and began to read its memories.

"A pitch-black, ink-like creature? What is this?"
