Nine Tails: There Is a Creature Like Me in That Sword!

Regret in Sarutobi Hiruzen's eyes grew stronger.

He didn't regret not protecting Senju Nawaki, but he regretted not sending Senju Nawaki to the experimental platform when he was conducting the Shodai cell transplantation experiment!

If not, how could Konoha, which had regained the Wood Style, be involved in a war with Sunagakure until now?

But now, Senju Nawaki had become a member of the Land of Whirlpool, even standing against Konoha, as if wanting Konoha to perform well.

At this point, it was probably too late to do anything.

However, Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at Tsunade faintly.

Since Shodai's grandson could awaken the Wood Style, there was no reason Shodai's granddaughter couldn't awaken the Wood Style.

After this incident was over, he would discuss it with Tsunade and let her take the initiative to conduct the Shodai cell transplantation experiment.

Although Tsunade had become increasingly rebellious recently, Sarutobi Hiruzen still believed that as long as he used emotions and reason, Tsunade would understand.

After all, Tsunade didn't want to see the Konoha created by Shodai become more and more desolate, right?

Sarutobi Hiruzen felt excited, as if he once again saw the future of the world's strongest ninja village, Konoha, with the Wood Style.

He looked at Senju Nawaki's appearance with bright eyes, and his heart burned.

But at the same time, he did not forget why Senju Nawaki was able to awaken the Wood Style!

Zanpakutō from the Land of Whirlpool!

Surely, while in Konoha, Senju Nawaki had shown no signs of awakening the Wood Style.

As a result, he went to the Land of Whirlpool, and through the guidance of that sword, he was able to awaken the area of Wood Style!

Sarutobi Hiruzen didn't believe that the Land of Whirlpool also had Shodai cells and could conduct the Shodai cell transplantation experiment.

In other words, Zanpakutō from the Land of Whirlpool was more terrifying than they had imagined!

Not only did it have various magical powers, but it could also guide its user to awaken the power hidden in their bloodline!

This sword was becoming more and more tempting...

After this incident was over, the plan to transport Konoha's students to the Land of Whirlpool could not be delayed!

Make sure to obtain the Zanpakutō forging technology from the Land of Uzumaki!

Orochimaru stared intently at Senju Nawaki's transformation, involuntarily licking his lips, his eyes full of passion,

"Shodai's Wood Style..."

As the original leader of the Hashirama cell transplantation experiment, he had witnessed the terrifying phagocytosis of the Hashirama cells with his own eyes!

After the Hashirama cells were transplanted, the subject would turn into a lifeless piece of wood within minutes.

This showed the horror of the Wood Style!

Now, this terrifying Wood Style had finally reappeared in Konoha.

Only this time, the Wood Style had become Konoha's enemy!

Of course, Orochimaru didn't care about this. What he really cared about was the Zanpakutō in Nawaki's hand.

The existence of this type of sword might be more terrifying than he had imagined.

Precisely because he had gone to the Land of Whirlpool and witnessed too many realities in the Land of Whirlpool.

Only Orochimaru would feel more and more the mystery of Zanpakutō.

And Nawaki's sword resembling the Wood Style made him guess more and more.

Clearly, the Nawaki in front of them had become a spirit body, but how could he awaken the Wood Style power through Zanpakutō?

COULD IT BE...

Zanpakutō had the ability to manifest the abilities hidden deep within the soul!

This speculation made Orochimaru's heart beat faster, and he felt closer to the truth of the Shinigami!

His eyes vaguely swept over the many Shinigami on the side of the Land of Uzumaki, which matched Konoha's intelligence.

Fire-type Zanpakutō, ice-type Zanpakutō, Zanpakutō that could stretch and shorten freely and move so fast it was invisible to the naked eye, Zanpakutō that had the ability to become a giant, etc...

These abilities were different, and what was more amazing was that no ability was the same!

"This is so addictive..."

Orochimaru's golden pupils flickered slightly.

Everything in the Land of Whirlpool was so addictive.

It seemed like a mysterious and bottomless abyss, drawing him in so deeply that he couldn't help but fall!

Sooner or later, he would go to the Land of Whirlpool!

The truth of the Shinigami, the mystery of the soul...

His eyes sparkled, determined to become the director of the Technology Development Bureau of the Land of Whirlpool!

The emergence of the Wood Style brought a huge surprise to everyone in Konoha.

They seemed to see the figure of Shodai in Senju Nawaki.

What was surprising was that Shodai's eyes seemed to be looking at Senju Nawaki from the Konoha Hokage Rock.

Among the crowd, the most surprised might be Tsunade.

She bit her lip and stared at Nawaki with shock, astonishment, and excitement in her eyes!

Her eyes suddenly seemed uncontrollably wet.

She knew very well the importance of Konoha to the Senju clan.

Yes, it wasn't Konoha, but its people!

Since the first and second grandfathers left one after another, the decline of the Senju was like pressing the accelerator button.

Since Sarutobi Hiruzen took power, besides Grandma Mito, her and Nawaki, the now large Senju clan only had a few servants left.

The Senju clan seemed to have suddenly disappeared from Konoha.

The once noble family no longer had its former glory.

She also hated herself for not inheriting her grandfather's Wood Style so that the Senju could continue or even restore the glory of her grandfather's generation!

Unfortunately, since her grandfather's death, no one in this large family had been able to awaken the Wood Style.

Gradually, the Senju faded from the stage of Konoha.

With Senju Nawaki's death, she completely lost the qualifications to continue.

She also gradually became disheartened and no longer paid attention to Konoha's affairs.

Fortunately, Nawaki stood in front of her again today, whole!

He had even grown taller and learned some skills, and now he dared to hit his sister hard.

Moreover, the Wood Style, which had left a deep impression on the ninja world, had reappeared in Nawaki!

Tsunade was filled with excitement. As long as Nawaki was here, maybe the Senju could regain their glory!

But soon, Tsunade calmed down because Nawaki was no longer the previous Nawaki.

He no longer remembered everything about Konoha, and he even forgot his sister!

But Tsunade always believed that she would be able to bring Nawaki back in his entirety!

Although Orochimaru also said that as long as she went to the Land of Whirlpool, she could get the answers she wanted.

But now that Nawaki had appeared in Konoha, wasn't it okay to just let it be?

As for memories, as long as Nawaki was by her side, he would remember someday!

Tsunade's eyes hardened.

At the Senju station, seeing Nawaki suddenly unleash the Wood Style, Uzumaki Mito's expression flickered with shock.

"Hashirama..."

In a daze, she seemed to see Hashirama's silly smile.

She chuckled.

"Nawaki, he's just like your grandfather."

What Uzumaki Mito was talking about was not his appearance, but his silly demeanor.

"Your Wood Style finally appeared in the Senju clan..."

BUT...

The Senju clan you left behind has been made a mess by them...

At least with Nawaki's appearance, she hoped that when she went to the Pure Land, Tian Jian and Tobirama wouldn't blame her...

Although Nawaki had become Konoha's enemy for unknown reasons, Uzumaki Mito's eyes were still full of love and relief when looking at Nawaki.

"The Senju clan finally has a successor..."

But...

The Land of Whirlpool was truly unrecognizable to her...

This group of forces suddenly appeared and called themselves Shinigami.

Although they didn't have Chakra, why could they control all kinds of magical abilities?

Uzumaki Chihiro, what are you studying...

"Hmph..."

A snort sounded from the depths of her heart.

Uzumaki Mito wasn't flustered at all, as if she was used to this sudden voice, and said calmly, "Why Nine Tails, what kind of wind woke you up?"

Since becoming the Nine Tails Jinchūriki, the Nine Tails had been sleeping or on its way to sleep every day, lazier than a pig.

The Nine Tails said angrily, "Hey Mito! I heard all your complaints in your heart! Besides, you're sealed away, what else can you do besides sleep!"

Uzumaki Mito said "Oh" lightly. Even if the Nine Tails heard what she said, she didn't feel embarrassed at all. In other words, Uzumaki Mito said it on purpose.

The Nine Tails let out an unpleasant "cut" sound, then suddenly remembered something, and said arrogantly, "Haha Mito, now you Konoha are really in big trouble."

Here's the translated text:

---

The initial indifference of Uzumaki Mito towards the Nine-Tails suddenly caused a stir.

She frowned slightly and asked, "What do you know?"

The Nine-Tails snorted proudly, turned to the side, and ignored her.

Seeing its reaction, Uzumaki Mito raised her eyebrows and calmly said, "I'll give you a chance to share my sight for a day."

The ears of the Nine-Tails twitched but remained silent.

Uzumaki Mito continued, "Three days."

The Nine-Tails moved slightly but still didn't speak.

Uzumaki Mito furrowed her brow and continued, "Five days."

After hearing this for five days, the Nine-Tails quietly opened its eyes, enjoying Uzumaki Mito's changing emotions, and understood that this was to its advantage.

So the Nine-Tails cleared its throat and said earnestly, "I sense a presence similar to mine in those people's blades!"

Uzumaki Mito's eyes widened immediately, and she said incredulously, "You mean, the Shinigami's sword has a tailed beast sealed inside it?"

Shinigami?

The Nine-Tails murmured this title in its mind, then explained, "No, it's not a tailed beast, but a creature similar to us!"

In other words, are they creatures other than humans?

In other words, is this similar to a collection of Chakra?

However, tailed beasts are formed by the convergence of Chakra.

And there's an existence similar to tailed beasts in the Shinigami's sword?!

"This discovery is truly astonishing..."

Uzumaki Mito narrowed her eyes slightly and seemed to have stumbled upon a great secret of the Land of Whirlpools.

Could the sword's form be similar to that of Jinchūriki?

It has the same effect as sealing a tailed beast inside a human body.

The only difference is that the Land of Whirlpools seals a presence similar to a tailed beast inside the sword.

Hiss—

The Land of Whirlpools, no, the Uzumaki clan is truly skilled at creating wonders!

Such technology, which can seal a presence like a tailed beast in a sword, once again, if flowed into the ninja world, will trigger great changes in the ninja world!

The last time such a change occurred, it was the Uzumaki clan that developed Jinchūriki, who could seal uncontrollable tailed beasts within human bodies and harness their power!

Now, the technology sealed within the sword has been developed again?!

What is this, Tochuuriki?

Uzumaki Mito forced herself to stay calm.

At the same time, some questions in her mind suddenly became clear.

No wonder...

No wonder the Land of Whirlpools rose so suddenly and so rapidly!

Just seal a presence similar to a tailed beast in a sword, then give one to everyone.

You can mass-produce strong individuals who can use all sorts of bizarre abilities!

And this way is indeed in line with the consistent behavior of the Uzumaki clan.

After all, the Uzumaki clan has been adept at the art of sealing since ancient times!

Case closed!

She had fully understood the principle of forging Zanpakutō in the Land of Uzumaki!

But...

It's of no use at all. The most critical sealing techniques are strictly controlled by the Kingdom of Whirlpool. Even if others know the principle, they cannot create it at all.

Can this sealing technique be really developed?

Even she, a member of the Uzumaki clan and a Grandmaster of Sealing Techniques, is unaware of this unusual sealing technique.

"In other words, are there creatures that can use Wood Release techniques sealed in the sword's hilt?"

Uzumaki Mito pondered, and new doubts arose.

Where did the Land of Whirlpools find so many beings with special abilities?

Moreover, if there are beings that can use Wood Release, it's impossible that no one has found them until now, then suddenly discovered by the Land of Whirlpools?

Ah...

Forget it.

Uzumaki Mito shook her head, she's already half-dead, so this should make future generations dizzy.

She only hopes that as long as she's still alive, Konoha and the Land of Whirlpools can rekindle their friendship.

Suddenly, she said, "Nine-Tails, what's your opinion on being sealed in a blade like that?"

The Nine-Tails, finally happy to see the outside world, was suddenly stunned and cursed angrily, "You Mito, you really crossed the river and burned the bridge!"

It's frustrating enough to seal it inside a human body, but at least I can't chat with the Jinchūriki.

This old witch actually wants to seal it into a cold blade?

Then I can only sleep every day, not knowing what it's like to be inside that sealed blade.

But just thinking about it gives me chills.

Uzumaki Mito laughed and said, "Just kidding..."

But she really did think about it.

If possible, Konoha no longer has to maintain Uzumaki Kushina, and can avoid conflict with the Land of Whirlpools.

The Nine-Tails also has a home, and maybe it can cultivate strong individuals like Shinigami from the Land of Whirlpools.

However, the implementation is not that simple.

Not to mention whether the Nine-Tails can really be filled.

The key is there's no suitable sealing technique.

SO...

Can the Kingdom of Whirlpool provide technical support or help seal it?

If Uzumaki Chihiro knew Uzumaki Mito's thoughts, she would only praise her good idea, and then completely deny it.

The Nine-Tails can feel the difference of Zanpakutō only because Zanpakutō is also a strange form of life.

Indeed, a form of life!

Each Zanpakutō has its own soul, mind, and character, and is not just a weapon.

Moreover, some Zanpakutō can even be materialized.

Otherwise, if Shinigami want to master Shikai and Bankai, why should they communicate with Zanpakutō?

Therefore, Uzumaki Mito's conjecture is completely wrong.

What's more, even if the Kingdom of Whirlpool has such technology, why should it help Konoha?

Uzumaki Kushina is originally from the country of whirlpool!

Shimura Danzō, who is always paying attention to the battlefield at the root base, was shocked when he saw Senju Nawaki's Wood Style.

My heart instantly became hot, and the greed in my eyes overflowed.

Shodai's Wood Style!

The Wood Style that Konoha manuscripts couldn't reproduce no matter how much effort they put into it was actually reproduced in Senju Nawaki!

Of course, he also knows very well that this is not just the power of Senju Nawaki.

After all, it's Zanpakutō from the Land of Whirlpools!

"This kind of technology can only be mastered by Gen!"

Tsunade took a deep breath and said firmly, "Nawaki, I will definitely keep you!"

She closed her eyes and suddenly shouted: "Hundred Healings Mark!"

boom!!

Violent Chakra erupted from her body, sending the nearby ninjas into a tailspin!

Tsunade's body was wrapped in blue Chakra flames. Facing the Wood Style that her grandfather once suppressed the ninja world, she did not dare to be careless at all.

"I will handle the matter between our siblings by myself. If anyone dares to interfere, be careful that I am ruthless with my fists and kicks!"

She wants to wake up Nawaki herself!.
