Chapter 262 - 261 : Wood Release!!
A Wood Release user... has appeared again?
This news had already spread across the ninja world. The moment Sarutobi Hiruzen heard about it, he immediately sent people to investigate.
After all—
Wood Release was deeply connected to Konoha. Now, a new user had appeared out of nowhere, and they had no apparent ties to the village. How could he just sit back and do nothing?
For the past few days, he hadn't been able to rest easy.
If they could find this person, Konoha would do everything in its power to bring them in. There was no way they would allow a Wood Release user to roam free.
Wood Release had always been a subject of Konoha's research. It couldn't be allowed to leak outside.
Of course, if they could bring this ninja back to the village and let the researchers study them, that would be even better. Konoha might finally break through one of the limits of Wood Release.
So, over the past few days, he had thought about many things—especially about how to capture this ninja for research. He convinced himself that this wasn't selfishness—it was for the sake of Konoha.
"Lord Hokage, we've uncovered some information!"
The leading Anbu ninja lowered his head and began to report.
