Chapter 11: Loyalty is the Best Policy
At the Training Ground.
Akihara Kagura watched Shimura Danzo intently.
His superior wanted to teach him a new Wood Release jutsu and was methodically explaining the origin of the technique, "This jutsu is called Wood Release: Advent of a World of Flowering Trees, originating from the First Hokage of Konoha, Senju Hashirama, and requires a large amount of chakra..."
Theoretically, there was no need to preserve this Wood Release Technique.
Because the Kekkei Genkai of the First Hokage, Hashirama, had not been passed down.
However, at the request of the Second Hokage, Senju Tobirama, the First Hokage still recorded all his Wood Release techniques in the Scroll of Seals of Konoha, waiting for a new inheritor of the Wood Release Kekkei Genkai to emerge from Konoha.
Shimura Danzo, of course, had seen the Scroll of Seals.
Unfortunately, as he was not the Hokage, the Scroll of Seals could only be kept by successive Hokages, and Danzo could only remember the Wood Release techniques in it.
"Watch closely."
Shimura Danzo spread his hands, relaxed his five fingers, then slowly brought his hands together, forming a Snake hand seal: "This technique only requires forming a Snake seal... and you can directly activate the chakra in your body..."
"Wood Release: Advent of a World of Flowering Trees!"
Shimura Danzo let out a fierce shout!
Akihara Kagura was startled by Danzo's voice!
However...
Nothing happened.
The training ground became quiet again.
A crow flew leisurely across the sky.
Shimura Danzo didn't have the Wood Release Kekkei Genkai or a large amount of chakra, so naturally, nothing happened.
"All right."
Shimura Danzo didn't feel embarrassed at all, returning to his usual serene demeanor: "I have taught you this technique, now try it!"
...
Akihara Kagura's eyelids twitched.
This method of teaching was a bit too abstract, wasn't it?
Why is this person pretending to make a hand sign, telling him this ninjutsu is called "Wood Release: Advent of a World of Flowering Trees," and then believing he can unleash the god of ninja's ninjutsu!
"Alright, now that you know 1+1 equals 2, let's go ahead and prove one of the world's three great conjectures, the Goldbach's Conjecture!"
What a joke!
Unless this person can cheat!
[System Prompt]: [Ninja Professor] trait activated, the host has Wood Release Kekkei Genkai, Chakra level reached SSS, currently learning "Wood Release: Advent of a World of Flowering Trees" fits ninjutsu theory, "Wood Release: Advent of a World of Flowering Trees" successfully learned.
[System Prompt]: You have acquired a new skill "Wood Release: Advent of a World of Flowering Trees."
"Wood Release: Advent of a World of Flowering Trees" (A secret technique of Wood Release Kekkei Genkai, the user uses their own chakra as a source of life, rapidly growing trees from the ground and instantly transforming the environment into a forest. All trees in the forest can be controlled by the user to attack the enemy, and it is easier to use other Wood Release ninjutsu with the help of the forest.)
Akihara Kagura, mimicking Shimura Danzo's manner, slowly brought his palms together, chakra surged within his body, and a young, tender roar came from his throat!
"Wood Release: Advent of a World of Flowering Trees!"
The grass on the training ground trembled!
Thick tree roots burst out from the ground, rapidly growing into towering trees, transforming the entire training field into an ancient forest!
"This..."
Shimura Danzo couldn't help but widen his eyes!
Even if Shimura Danzo had hopes for Akihara Kagura, he did not believe that this young man could learn such a powerful ninjutsu so quickly!
What a joke!
Orochimaru wasn't lying this time!
This young man's Wood Release talent, just from the technique of Advent of a World of Flowering Trees alone, was evidently more powerful than the previous Wood Release ninja, warming Danzo's heart and reigniting his hope for taking the position of Hokage!
"Lord Danzo..."
Akihara Kagura turned around, looking at the shocked old man, seemingly a bit uneasy: "Is it because I destroyed the Training Ground? Have I caused some trouble... if someone finds out I destroyed the Training Ground, will it bring trouble to you?"
"No!"
Shimura Danzo quickly shook his head, a rare smile appearing on his lips as he praised his subordinate: "You did very well! This is just a training ground; from today onwards, it will be your very own!"
I didn't ask for this!
Akihara Kagura couldn't help but want to complain in his heart.
Making such a big commotion wasn't just for Shimura Danzo!
Besides wanting this new superior to recognize his talent, he also wanted to see if he could cause some trouble for Lord Danzo...
After all, using such powerful chakra in the Konoha, he wondered if the Third Hokage would notice? Could he possibly attract the attention of the Third Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen?
After all, such a talented Wood Release ninja should cause some new conflict between Hiruzen and Danzo, these two old friends, right?
Shimura Danzo also thought of this.
This child has just unleashed such powerful chakra; wouldn't the monkey notice?
Shimura Danzo's expression looked somewhat grim, seemingly grinding his teeth. He must guard against Hiruzen, that old monkey who always steals his things!
He immediately set up a sealing barrier in this training ground to prevent Sarutobi Hiruzen from discovering that he had acquired another Wood Release ninja, and even an unexpected genius at that! Besides...
Shimura Danzo's gaze also fell on Akihara Kagura.
This child...
Will become very strong in the future!
He will surely become the most useful tool for Konoha!
The child is very obedient to him now, very close to him, even more loyal and pure than Aburame Tatsuma, a ten-year-old child who doesn't have complex thoughts...
At this age...
It's easy to instill thoughts.
Just a curse mark can control a person's actions, but not their thoughts, he must think of a way to make this child forever loyal to him...
Inside the Root Training Ground.
The young man and the old man each had their own thoughts.
Akihara Kagura secretly activated the characteristics of [Ninja in the Shadows.]
Whenever he needed information, the [Ninja in the Shadows] feature would store relevant information in the form of videos inside his brain.
In Akihara Kagura's brain, an image appeared.
Akihara Kagura wanted to investigate information about the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen, to see what the Hokage was up to, whether he had noticed the genius waiting in the Root Training Ground, whether he had realized Danzo was up to no good again, whether he was interested in coming to cause some trouble for Danzo...
As a subordinate of Lord Danzo...
He must think of a way to cause more trouble for Lord Danzo...
Only when Lord Danzo encounters many troubles will he have the opportunity to prove to Lord Danzo just how loyal he truly is
