When Izayoi came out of the Hokage Building, he couldn't help but be taken aback by the scene before him.
He saw that outside the Hokage Building, the crowd was packed.
Seeing Izayoi and the others come out, the crowd immediately caused a commotion.
"Look, that handsome black-haired boy is Izayoi."
"He's so tall. I heard he's in the same class as my boy and is also the Top Student of the Ninja Academy."
"His hair color is the same as the First Hokage, as expected of a descendant of the Senju Clan."
"I saw his battle during the Chunin Exams. Not only can he fly, but he also has a super powerful Ninjutsu!"
"Great, our Konoha has a Wood Release Ninja again. No one will dare to bully us in the future."
"That... that incident won't happen again!"
"..."
The voices of discussion entered his ears, and the villagers' eyes were full of fervor as they looked at Izayoi.
Many villagers with fanatical expressions couldn't wait to rush over and surround Izayoi.
Seeing this, Izayoi quickly grabbed Sasuke Uchiha and Karin, one in each hand, and flew away from Central Street.
Looking at Izayoi's flying figure, the cheers below grew louder.
At this moment, Izayoi enjoyed the treatment that Naruto Uzumaki in the original story received when he became a hero of Konoha, and he also deeply understood the importance of Wood Release to Konoha.
Both are Kekkei Genkai that have become legends. Sasuke Uchiha, as the last of the Uchiha Clan, would at most attract villagers to buy tickets to watch his battles, wanting to see the Sharingan of the Uchiha Clan.
But Wood Release caused a sensation throughout Konoha.
The ninja clans and Konoha ninjas regarded Izayoi as the future of Konoha. Morale not only rebounded but also surpassed what it was before the Konoha Crush Plan began.
The villagers felt a strong sense of security.
They were no longer afraid of the Nine Tails' Rampage, surprise attacks from enemy countries, or the sudden outbreak of war.
The story of the Ninja God, like the mythology of the Sage of Six Paths, is a household name.
Even ordinary people know about Wood Release's achievements in pacifying the troubled times, suppressing the Tailed Beast, and being a match for an entire country.
Just taking a look at the dense forest formed by the towering trees outside the city, both the villagers and the ninjas of Konoha would become confident and full of confidence.
Wood Release is the pillar of Konoha!
Even if the Sage Eye of the Sage of Six Paths really existed, its position in Konoha would not be comparable to Wood Release.
After all...
No one has seen the power of the Sage Eye, but Wood Release... is real.
"You won't have peace in the future."
Sasuke Uchiha, sandwiched at Izayoi's waist, gloated, "From now on, when you go on dates with Hinata, just wait to be watched like a monkey... Ah!"
Before he could finish speaking, Sasuke Uchiha subconsciously let out a scream.
It turned out that Izayoi had released his grip, letting Sasuke Uchiha fall.
Watching the ground rapidly enlarge in his eyes, Sasuke Uchiha's face turned pale.
Just then, a wooden vine suddenly wrapped around his waist, suspending his body in the air.
Looking up at Izayoi flying in the sky, yet using vines to hang him below, Sasuke Uchiha instantly lost it, roaring, "Bastard, I'm going to kill you!"
"You really can't read the situation, can you?"
As Izayoi's words fell, Sasuke Uchiha, hanging below, instantly turned into a human yo-yo, being tossed up and down, swayed left and right, or spun clockwise and counterclockwise by Izayoi.
By the time Sasuke Uchiha landed, his face had turned purplish-blue.
The intense nausea prevented him from seeking revenge on Izayoi, and with a retching sound, he leaned against the wall and vomited.
"I... I will definitely kill you, you bastard!"
After vomiting, Sasuke Uchiha's breath was very weak, but he still wanted to seek revenge on Izayoi.
However, Izayoi healed him with a single sentence.
"Do you still want the gift?"
"...Yes."
Sasuke Uchiha instantly quieted down, revealing a stifled, well-behaved look.
Karin stood beside him, with a stifled expression of wanting to laugh but being too embarrassed to do so, enduring it very uncomfortably, so she went to cook with trembling shoulders.
Izayoi didn't continue teasing Sasuke, and soon retrieved a red scroll that could be held in one hand.
Under Sasuke Uchiha's expectant gaze, Izayoi opened the Sealing Scroll and took out the item stored inside.
With a 'bang,' as the smoke dissipated, a Combination Lock Box made entirely of metal came into Sasuke Uchiha's view.
When Izayoi entered the password and opened the Combination Lock Box, two rows of test tubes filled with green liquid were immediately revealed.
Looking at these two rows of tubes that were obviously medicine, Sasuke Uchiha couldn't help but ask, "What is this?"
"Hashirama Cell."
Hearing this, Sasuke Uchiha's expression instantly changed drastically: "The First Hokage's cells! Why do you have this stuff?"
"Good question, you should be asking why the village has this stuff," Izayoi said with a smile.
Sasuke Uchiha's face was uncertain.
He wasn't stupid and instantly understood everything: "The village once conducted Wood Release Experiments?"
"Correct."
Izayoi nodded and said, "I also discovered it while stealing things, and I also learned some very interesting secrets related to the Sharingan of your Uchiha Clan."
"What secrets? Wait..." Sasuke Uchiha subconsciously asked, then, as if remembering something, he suddenly widened his eyes and said, "Is this the risky method of becoming stronger that you mentioned some time ago?"
"Not bad, you think fast." Izayoi looked at Sasuke Uchiha with surprise, then said without hiding anything, "Your Uchiha Clan's Sharingan, besides the One-Tomoe to Three-Tomoe, can continue to evolve..."
"Mangekyo Sharingan!"
Before Izayoi could finish, Sasuke Uchiha interrupted, his face full of killing intent, "Itachi Uchiha's eyes are the eyes above the Three-Tomoe."
"Let me finish."
Izayoi couldn't help but roll his eyes, continuing, "The eyes above the Three-Tomoe are indeed called Mangekyo Sharingan. Moreover, such eyes have exclusive Eye Techniques with unknown abilities and extremely powerful effects. However, once you use the exclusive Eye Techniques, it will consume a certain amount of Eye Power. If you use too much, your eyes will go blind."
Sasuke Uchiha's eyes lit up immediately, "Go blind, really?"
"According to the information I have, it is indeed true. But there are also solutions, and there are two of them."
Izayoi made a scissor gesture, looking at Sasuke Uchiha with a playful smile, "The first method is to transplant the Mangekyo Sharingan of a close relative, which will grant eternal Eye Power."
As soon as he finished speaking, Izayoi saw Sasuke Uchiha's expression instantly stiffen.
Immediately, Sasuke, without a teacher, began to show Izayoi various face changes.
Bewilderment, shock, realization, anger, hatred, distortion...
His eyes uncontrollably turned into Three-Tomoe Sharingan, and they began to spin wildly.
Sasuke Uchiha's brain was constantly secreting Yin Release Chakra, and negative emotions were also rapidly rising.
"Heh..."
Sasuke Uchiha suddenly sneered, gritting his teeth, "No wonder he only spared me, and said some inexplicable things, telling me to seek revenge after I had the same eyes as him! So this guy is using me as a spare eye!"
At this moment, Sasuke Uchiha solved the doubts in his heart, and his hatred for Itachi Uchiha became even greater and purer.
Izayoi didn't tell him the truth, but took out a test tube and lied, "The second method is to transplant Hashirama Cell, this is the result of the village's research."
"Scientists have discovered that Hashirama Cell can balance the power of the Sharingan. If outsiders have Sharingan, they only need to transplant Hashirama Cell to minimize the side effects. If it is a Mangekyo Sharingan owner, as long as they transplant Hashirama Cell, not only will the consumption of Eye Technique be reduced, but the lost Eye Power will automatically be replenished."
Izayoi had one more sentence he didn't say.
If Sasuke Uchiha transplanted Hashirama Cell, his Eye Power would continue to skyrocket.
Hashirama Cell will draw out the Indra Chakra in his body and rapidly stimulate his potential for Sage Eye.
"But just like Konoha once did Wood Release Experiment, but there has not been a second Wood Release Ninja to this day, if the transplant fails, the result is... death!"
After saying the last word, Izayoi stared at Sasuke Uchiha's face and teased, "So, do you want to transplant it?"
"Yes." Sasuke Uchiha nodded without hesitation.
"Are you really not afraid of death?" Izayoi tilted his head, looking at Sasuke Uchiha in surprise.
"Without taking revenge on Itachi Uchiha, I am indeed afraid of death!"
Sasuke Uchiha smiled confidently, "But I believe you won't let me die."
"I'll only help you collect your corpse." Izayoi said unhappily, then put the test tube back and closed the Combination Lock Box.
Seeing this, Sasuke Uchiha looked puzzled, "Aren't you going to help me transplant it?"
"I'm not a doctor or a scientist."
Izayoi rolled his eyes, got up and said, "Let's eat first. Tomorrow we'll clean up the clan grounds and the forest near the Naka River. In a couple of days, I'll take you to get a shot."
"Okay."
Although Sasuke Uchiha was curious about who they were going to see, he obediently responded.
...
Just like the Uchiha Clan's annihilation and the Konoha Crush Plan, the news couldn't be kept secret at all.
The news of a Wood Release Ninja appearing in Konoha spread almost on the same day.
As soon as dawn broke, the entire Land of Fire knew about it.
In less than two days, it spread throughout the entire Shinobi World.
Izayoi's photos and information were quickly delivered to the top echelons of various forces.
The reason for such speed was naturally because Konoha was also fueling the flames.
A genius who hasn't grown up, of course, needs protection.
But if it's someone who has just graduated not long ago, has mastered five Nature Transformations, has developed several Signless Secret Skills on their own, and is a rare flying ninja in the Shinobi World, a Wood Release Ninja who already possesses ace combat power, there's no need to hide and protect them at all.
Even without Wood Release, he has the power to threaten a Kage.
Moreover, with the advantage of flight, none of the Five Kage except Ōnoki can threaten Izayoi.
At this time, pushing Izayoi to the forefront is the best choice.
Konoha had just lost the Third Hokage and an elder, and also lost the Root, which could be compared with the Anbu. Even if Tsunade succeeded as the Fifth Hokage, she could not get rid of the fact that Konoha was becoming weaker.
A weakened Konoha will not only be questioned by clients, but will also attract the covetousness of other ninja villages, and even the resistance of those small ninja villages.
At this time, Wood Release is a shot in the arm.
Knowing that Konoha has once again produced a Wood Release Ninja after decades, those dignitaries will definitely choose Konoha first when entrusting tasks.
Those ninja villages where the old monsters have not died out will be full of fear of Konoha and dare not launch a war rashly.
This is the strategic deterrence of Wood Release, far above the Tailed Beasts.
After all, the Tailed Beasts were captured by the First Hokage using Wood Release, and then divided equally among the countries of the Shinobi World.
...
Land of Earth, Hidden Stone Village.
"Konoha, it really shouldn't be destroyed."
Looking at the young man in the photo, Ōnoki's expression was a little dazed, as if he had returned to many years ago, when he was also holding a photo of a blond young man in his hand, his eyes full of jealousy, "Whenever in a desperate situation, this village always has amazing young people rise up, just because the Land of Fire has the best resources?"
After speaking, Ōnoki murmured with a worried expression.
"At this age, there are still ten or twenty years away from Lord Hashirama's peak. Now is the best time to solve him."
"But... I can't afford to gamble! The Hidden Stone Village can't afford to gamble either!"
Just as Ōnoki was feeling melancholy, a gleam of light suddenly burst out from his eyes.
He didn't dare to gamble, but that didn't mean others wouldn't!
Thinking of this, Ōnoki couldn't help but float to a window, looking in the direction of the Rain Country, and said softly, "The Anbu squad disappeared silently. Could it be that... the mythical stories of the Sage of Six Paths are actually true?"
"If it's the Sage Eye, I wonder if it can deal with Wood Release."
...
Land of Lightning, Cloud Village.
"Hmph, a bluff."
Looking at the information in front of him, the Fourth Raikage snorted coldly, "Even if it's the legendary Wood Release, how much power can a little brat exert?"
"To push him out now shows that your Konoha has run out of talent."
"If it weren't for Karai's matter, which made me owe Tsunade a favor, I would have let you Konoha see what the strongest ninja village really is."
...
Land of Wind, Sand Village.
"What a brilliant move..."
Looking at the information in her hand, Chiyo, who was now the acting Kazekage, couldn't help but sigh slightly, "Letting the Senju abandon their surname and completely integrate into Konoha is both to resolve the gap between the ninja clan and the commoners, and to leave a glimmer of hope for the Senju and Konoha."
"First Hokage, Second Hokage... it seems you had already foreseen this moment."
After saying that, Chiyo looked at Gaara, who had been redeemed last month and was working hard to learn, gradually becoming less indifferent due to the influence of family affection, and instructed, "Gaara, after you become Kazekage, remember not to be enemies with Konoha. Make good use of the advantage of being an allied country..."
Chiyo didn't finish the last sentence, for fear of discouraging Gaara.
Because Wood Release is the natural enemy of the Tailed Beast!
Gaara was slightly stunned, not understanding, but still nodded.
