Chapter 331: The Good Days Are Over
"Did Ginji just do that?"
Kawakaze was the first to step forward, appearing beside the crowd and pointing at little tree as he began to ask questions.
"Mm-hmm," Kakashi, Nagato, and the others nodded in unison. Meanwhile, Ginji and Satsuki still seemed clueless about the situation.
"Haha~ My big boy."
Kawakaze let out a laugh and scooped Ginji up into his arms, planting a few kisses on his rosy cheeks.
"Oops, drool," Ginji muttered, looking disgusted as he wiped his face with the back of his hand.
"It's rare for someone to awaken their Kekkei Genkai at the age of three, especially a Wood Release. And this... this is a Kekkei Genkai that stands above the rest in the entire Ninja World."
Orochimaru's gaze softened as he thought this over, his mind lingering on Ginji. Having such a talented brat as a potential son-in-law wasn't a bad prospect at all.
"No wonder he's a descendant of the Hatake Clan," Sakumo said, his joy evident. Ginji's self-awakening of Wood Release meant that future generations of the Hatake Clan could potentially inherit this extraordinary ability. It would solidify their clan's standing in Konoha even further.
As the clan head, Sakumo couldn't help but feel a twinge of pride. When he met his own father in the afterlife someday, he'd have plenty to boast about.
"Ginji, can you do it again for mommy?" Tsunade asked as she gently took Ginji from Kawakaze's arms.
