Chapter 210: Nawaki’s Wood Release



"I'm going out for a while."

Natsuki put down the document in his hand and said, "The contents of this file need to be reported to Sensei."

"Mm. I'll wait for you to come back."

Mikoto stopped massaging him and said softly.

Natsuki stood and went straight to the building where the Research Department was located.

He soon saw Orochimaru in the laboratory.

"Has there been a new change in the war?"

When Orochimaru saw him, he guessed immediately.

"Iwa and Suna have officially gone to war in the Land of Birds."

Natsuki nodded and answered.

"In the past, they would have chosen the Land of Rain as the battlefield. Now that they have chosen the Land of Birds, it seems they are wary of Konoha."

Orochimaru said thoughtfully.

"I think that is the reason as well."

Natsuki agreed.

Orochimaru did not know that Pakura was already under Natsuki's control.

So being wary of Konoha became the only reason.

"The other four major shinobi villages have already gone to war. It will be very hard for Konoha to avoid it."

Orochimaru looked at him and asked, "Which shinobi village do you think will declare war on us?"

"Kumo and Iwa are the most likely."

Natsuki said without hesitation.

"Strengthen surveillance on those two villages. If there is any movement, prepare to respond immediately."

Orochimaru ordered.

"I understand, Sensei."

Natsuki replied at once.

"Where is Nawaki?"

Orochimaru changed the topic and asked.

"He went out on a mission. He is still within the Land of Fire."

Natsuki paused and said, "He should return in about a week."

"When he comes back, have him come find me."

Orochimaru smiled faintly and said, "He can already undergo the cell transplant and awaken Wood Release."

"That really is wonderful news."

Natsuki smiled when he heard this.

"But there is bad news."

Orochimaru frowned and said, "The power of Wood Release is not as terrifying as the legends say."

"The power of any release mainly depends on the user's chakra."

Natsuki paused slightly and said, "The reason the First Hokage-sama's Wood Release was so powerful was because of his chakra."

"It is a pity that when Konoha performed Wood Release experiments before, they did not realize this. Many shinobi were sacrificed for nothing."

Orochimaru shook his head and said.

"There was no second Wood Release shinobi, so naturally there was no reference point."

Natsuki comforted him and said, "The previous Wood Release experiments cannot be considered wrong."

"I understand what you mean. There is no need to bring up the past anymore."

Orochimaru's tone was calm. "Go handle your matters."

"See you next time, Sensei."

Natsuki turned and left, soon returning to his office.

After sitting down again, he began thinking about how to monitor Kumo and Iwa.

Without a doubt, the best method was still to have the snakes from Ryūchi Cave do it.

It could save manpower while also being safe and accurate.

Natsuki returned to himself and felt Mikoto's massage.

Her slender fingers kneaded his shoulders with exactly the right amount of strength.

"Mikoto, there are still some documents left here. Read them out for me."

Natsuki suddenly thought of something and said.

"Okay."

Although Mikoto was somewhat puzzled, she still agreed.

"Sit in my seat."

Natsuki stood and said.

Mikoto stepped forward and sat in his office chair.

At that moment, under her surprised gaze, Natsuki sat on her lap and lowered his head, burying himself in her embrace.

Mikoto's body trembled, and she felt his breath against her chest.

Only then did she understand why he had asked her to read the documents for him.

After all, Natsuki could no longer see the documents in this position.

Mikoto steadied herself, reached out, and picked up a file.

She opened the document with both hands and began reading in a gentle voice.

Natsuki closed his eyes as he smelled the faint fragrance around her.

The softness touching his face from every side made him feel slightly drowsy.

Mikoto was very diligent. She read every word clearly.

One hour later, all the documents had been read.

Mikoto put down the last file in her hand and looked at Natsuki.

He still had no intention of getting up.

A smile appeared on Mikoto's face.

She reached out and gently stroked his head.

At this moment, her gentle, wife-like aura reached its peak.

The only thing slightly ruining the atmosphere was the blush on her face.

The main reason was that Natsuki was not being very well behaved.

He was clearly already an adult, yet he still acted like a newborn.

"Thank you for today, Mikoto."

Natsuki raised his head and said.

"It is what I should do."

Mikoto shook her head and said.

"I have always been a fair person."

Natsuki licked the corner of his mouth and said, "For the rest of the time, I will massage you."

Mikoto's heart trembled slightly. With a flushed face, she nodded expectantly.

"Go to the sofa."

Natsuki stood and said.

Mikoto walked toward the sofa.

For the massage to work better, she removed anything that would get in the way and lay on the sofa without a thread on.

She closed her eyes, not daring to look at Natsuki.

For her, doing something like this still exceeded the limits of what she could calmly accept.

But the gentle and devoted side of her did not allow her to refuse.

Natsuki's gaze moved down from her flushed face, sweeping over her graceful curves before finally falling on her long legs.

He kept feeling that something was missing.

After thinking for a moment, Natsuki took out a pair of black stockings and helped Mikoto put them on.

Looking at her long, slender legs wrapped in black stockings, he nodded in satisfaction.

Natsuki stepped forward and began the massage.

Mikoto's body tensed. Her legs subconsciously straightened, and the blush on her face grew even more obvious.

In the end, under Natsuki's careful massage that did not miss a single inch, she fell asleep.

Amegakure in the Land of Rain.

After finishing the massage and sending Mikoto home, Natsuki appeared.

He looked refreshed as he turned toward the leader's desk in Amegakure.

But Yahiko was not there.

He was not surprised.

As the leader of Amegakure, Yahiko was very busy and often not in his office.

Thinking this, Natsuki went to Konan's office.

Fortunately, she was in her office.

"Natsuki-sensei!"

Konan had not seen him for a long time and was immediately somewhat happy.

She quickly walked over to him.

"Good afternoon, Konan."

Natsuki reached out and stroked her head.

He suddenly realized that Konan was now already quite a bit taller than Tsunade, almost reaching one meter sixty-eight.

But that was normal.

In another two years, Konan would already be an adult.

"Time really passes quickly."

Natsuki could not help sighing.

Konan blinked, somewhat unable to understand why he said that.

"Tell me about the recent situation."

Natsuki did not explain much and asked directly.

Konan nodded.

The current development of the Land of Rain and Amegakure was quite good.

First, there were no longer any unstable elements within the country. Wandering shinobi, robbers, bandits, and others had all disappeared.

Second, all shinobi and villagers now had their own homes, though they were only ordinary earth houses.

Third, the rainwater business and hydropower business were flourishing.

Fourth, a transportation system had been established in the country, mainly based on roads with waterways as support.

Fifth, two new industries had been added, mining and agriculture.

All the land in the Land of Rain had been inspected once, and in the end, seven large mines and some small mines were discovered.

Dawn Company was working hard to mine them.

As for agriculture, by using chakra as fertilizer, they had developed many water-loving crops.

Once promoted, they could allow the residents of the Land of Rain to live with enough food and warmth.

After Natsuki finished listening, he felt that it would not be long before Excalibur was unlocked.

Because the current Land of Rain, compared with the Land of Rain during the Second Shinobi World War, had truly been reborn.

If this still did not count as rebuilding a country, then Natsuki could only call it a shady judgment.

"Do you know about the war between Suna and Iwa?"

Natsuki thought for a moment and asked.

"We have already received the relevant intelligence."

Konan paused and asked, "Do we need to help Suna?"

Suna of the Land of Wind had always been the largest client of the Land of Rain and Amegakure.

Especially after Pakura became the Fourth Kazekage.

"Not for now, but you need to make preparations."

Natsuki shook his head and said.

Although he was avoiding the Land of Rain becoming a battlefield, in reality, it would be very difficult to avoid.

If Iwa wanted to attack Konoha, it would definitely attack Amegakure first.

Because Iwa knew that the current Amegakure had Konoha behind it.

If they bypassed the Land of Rain to attack Konoha, Amegakure might very well launch a surprise attack against Iwa.

Aside from that, there was another reason.

Madara Uchiha and Black Zetsu.

They absolutely would not ignore Nagato.

The Third Shinobi World War was the best opportunity.

In the original timeline, they acted against Obito and Nagato during the Third Shinobi World War.

One relied on Kiri, and the other used Hanzō of Amegakure.

Now Hanzō was dead, and Amegakure was controlled by Akatsuki, so the best choices became Iwa or Kumo.

As long as these two shinobi villages attacked Konoha, they could not bypass Amegakure.

At that time, once Akatsuki was dragged into the war, Madara and Black Zetsu could begin their hidden operations.

"During this period, you can focus on improving the strength of Amegakure's shinobi."

After thinking briefly, Natsuki said, "Have Nagato choose some talented shinobi and teach them ninjutsu."

Nagato was proficient in all five elemental releases, making him the most suitable teacher.

Although Amegakure's shinobi were not equal to the shinobi of the Five Great Shinobi Villages as a whole, it could still find some ordinary geniuses.

"Yes, Natsuki-sensei."

Konan said with a serious expression.

Although she did not like war, she was also very clear about the current situation in the shinobi world.

It was not very possible for Amegakure to remain uninvolved.

"There is no need to be too nervous."

Natsuki pinched her cheek and said, "The main force in the war will definitely be the Five Great Shinobi Villages. Amegakure only needs to send part of its shinobi."

There were two decisive factors in war.

First was the total number of shinobi.

Second was the number of powerful combatants.

Although Amegakure had fewer shinobi, it had many powerful combatants.

Especially the Fourteen Moons transformed by Natsuki.

Not to mention that among them was Nagato, who possessed the Rinnegan.

If Nagato unleashed his full power and imitated the Third Raikage, fighting ten thousand alone would be possible.

"Pass what I said to Yahiko and Nagato. You can begin now."

Natsuki withdrew his hand and said, "I will leave first. I will come again after a while."

Konan nodded somewhat reluctantly.

Natsuki opened a spatial gate and arrived at the ninja tool shop in Konoha.

Now that the war had not yet affected Konoha, he needed to forge the remaining four ninja tools as quickly as possible.

One week quickly passed.

Natsuki's office.

After finishing his work, he lay down on the sofa.

More accurately, he was lying in Mikoto's arms.

Today, according to Natsuki's instructions, she had changed into a secretary uniform, the classic women's suit, fitted skirt, black stockings, and high heels.

At this moment, Mikoto had taken off her high heels and was holding Natsuki in her arms.

Her long legs wrapped in black stockings were stretched out, one on each side of the sofa.

Natsuki felt as if he had begun living the Hokage's life ahead of time.

Mikoto was his secretary.

She could do anything and was extremely capable.

At that moment, a knock sounded at the door.

Natsuki stood from Mikoto's soft embrace.

Mikoto also stood up.

With a red face, she buttoned up her suit jacket and shirt.

While Natsuki went to open the door, she looked left and right, then hid behind the bookshelf.

To avoid being discovered, she also used a concealment ninjutsu.

Natsuki opened the door.

Standing outside was Nawaki.

"You're back?"

Natsuki asked first. "How did the mission go?"

"A mission done by me was naturally completed perfectly!"

Nawaki took out a scroll and said confidently, "This is the detailed mission report. I guarantee you will not find a single problem with it!"

Natsuki opened the scroll and quickly scanned through it.

It was indeed as Nawaki said. There was nothing wrong with it.

"Come with me to see Sensei."

Natsuki closed the scroll.

"My mission was completed this well, and I still need to see Sensei?"

Nawaki froze, widened his eyes, and asked.

"It is not because of this mission."

Seeing that he had misunderstood, Natsuki smiled and said, "It is something good."

"Why did you not say that earlier? You scared me."

Nawaki complained, "I thought there was something wrong with this mission and that you wanted Sensei to scold me."

"If I wanted to scold you, would I need to find Sensei?"

Natsuki asked in return.

"That's true."

Nawaki answered subconsciously, but soon realized something was wrong. "Wait. What do you mean, you scold me? I am older than you!"

"What use is being older? Strength is what matters."

Natsuki said with a smile.

Nawaki's mouth twitched.

Although he really wanted to refute him, he did not know how.

"All right, come with me to see Sensei."

Natsuki casually closed the door.

Behind the bookshelf, Mikoto let out a breath.

If an outsider saw her like this, it would be very embarrassing.

"You still have not said what this is about."

Nawaki followed behind Natsuki and asked.

"What experiment has Sensei been working on this entire time?"

Natsuki asked in return.

"The Wood Release experiment succeeded?"

Nawaki reacted at once and asked excitedly.

Natsuki nodded.

"Sensei really is too amazing!"

Nawaki said with great excitement.

Wood Release had a special meaning not only for Konoha, but also for him.

Now that it could be reproduced, he naturally could not control his emotions.

The two soon arrived at the building where the Research Department was located.

"Sensei!"

Before Nawaki even saw Orochimaru, he was already shouting.

"You have been a Hokage Guard for so long. How are you still this rash?"

Tsunade walked out.

"Sis, why are you here?"

Nawaki scratched his head and asked.

"Although Orochimaru's Wood Release experiment has already succeeded, he has not performed clinical testing, meaning human trials."

Tsunade explained, "I have been helping him verify it during this period."

"I see."

Nawaki laughed, then asked, "What is the result?"

"It has gone very smoothly."

Tsunade hesitated for a moment and said, "Theoretically, there should not be any problems."

"That's great!"

Nawaki said impatiently, "Then let me be the clinical test!"

"Shouldn't I go first?"

Tsunade stopped Nawaki and asked.

"Sis, what are you saying?"

Nawaki quickly moved around her and lay down on the operating table.

"Let Nawaki go first. You and I will perform the surgery together, which will guarantee the success rate. Even if it fails, Nawaki will be fine."

Orochimaru glanced at Tsunade and said, "If you go first and I operate alone, the success rate may not be as high."

In truth, he had quite a lot of confidence.

But considering that this was the first clinical test, he decided to perform the surgery together with Tsunade to prevent any accidents.

Hearing this, Tsunade said nothing more.

She and Orochimaru walked to the operating table.

Natsuki did not leave. He stood where he was and watched.

He had learned medical ninjutsu and also had Kaidō from the Unohana Retsu Template and Minazuki.

In addition, he had the blood curse from the Muzan Kibutsuji Template. As long as Nawaki did not die instantly, he could save him.

Natsuki looked at Nawaki and suddenly thought of Danzō.

Danzō had been very quiet during this period.

There was no helping it. His old partner Hiruzen had retired, and the newly appointed Hokage, Orochimaru, did not give him face.

Natsuki had also become the ANBU Commander-in-Chief and could suppress Root at any time.

No matter what Danzō wanted to do, he was restricted everywhere.

But if he learned that Orochimaru's Wood Release experiment had succeeded, he might take action.

Natsuki rubbed his chin.

Had Danzō secretly conducted Wood Release experiments?

Natsuki felt there was a high probability that he had.

Even if Orochimaru had not participated, Danzō would have conducted Wood Release experiments alone.

Judging from the original timeline, Danzō had always believed that Wood Release plus the Mangekyō Sharingan could make him the strongest in the shinobi world.

After obtaining Wood Release and the Mangekyō Sharingan, along with his obsession with the Hokage position, he became increasingly reckless.

Thinking of this, Natsuki decided to investigate Danzō.

If he dared to make a move, Natsuki could take the opportunity to expose his Wood Release experiments and strike him hard.

Even if he did not kill him, he could at least make him lose Root and his position as Hokage Advisor.

Time slowly passed.

At noon, the surgery ended.

"It succeeded!"

A smile appeared on Tsunade's face.

Orochimaru nodded.

Although he was not as excited as Tsunade, he was also very happy.

"Wood Release is the First Hokage-sama's kekkei genkai, and also the kekkei genkai of your Senju clan."

Orochimaru thought for a moment and said, "Aside from you and Nawaki, whoever receives the cell transplant will be decided by you."

Tsunade paused slightly.

This was indeed not an easy choice.

"In addition, the Wood Release awakened through cell transplantation will be very difficult to compare to the First Hokage-sama's Wood Release."

Orochimaru reminded her, "Do not hold too much expectation."

"I understand that."

Tsunade was not surprised when she heard this.

Awakening Wood Release and gaining Hashirama's strength was impossible.
