Chapter 54 [Rock Molds and Squeezes Out Aicun's Genes]

Yamanaka Ino and Rock were on their way quite fast.

After a while, the two of them arrived at the Ninja School. They were currently in the same class.

That was the "Second Generation of the Village" class where the Twelve Little Strongmen were.

Being able to enter this class basically meant that they were all key training targets of the village.

Rock was lucky to be able to enter this class. After all, before entering school, Rock had not yet entered the gray fog space, and his talent for chakra refining was still very average at that time.

But fortunately, as long as he could refine chakra, it would be fine, because the village did not value the specific chakra refining speed. After all, they were all a group of four or five-year-old children whose bodies had not yet grown up, and there were many opportunities for improvement in the future.

The village only looked at the difference between "being able to refine" or "not being able to refine".

Because people who can refine chakra have different basic body density from ordinary people, a twelve-year-old ninja kid can easily kick an adult man away.

If you can refine chakra but cannot practice ninjutsu, you can still go the way of physical ninja, just like Xiao Li.

But without chakra, even becoming a physical ninja is a luxury.

So chakra is the first goal of screening.

In addition to refining chakra, the goal of the examination is to examine whether the child is smart or not.

In the Naruto world, there is basic cultural education. The Chunin exam also requires parabolas, and ninjas also need to be literate.

For example, Kakashi, although he became a Genin at the age of six, is amazing, but the main reason why he is praised as a genius by many adult ninjas is that Kakashi is very smart and precocious.

He is equivalent to six years old, and he has studied cultural courses until the first grade of junior high school. By the way, he has mastered killing skills and a few simple C-level ninjutsu as a killer.

If this were Rock's previous life, it would not be bad if he could go home after school at the age of six.

In terms of learning, even if Rock did not enter the gray fog space, he would have the best grades among the children of the same period, so he was naturally assigned to the key class of the ninja school.

...

Ninja school.

The classroom where Rock was standing outside was full of people, and they looked into the classroom through the window.

"He's here..."

"The legendary Wood Release that is the same as the first Hokage..."

It was a few years ago that Rock awakened Wood Release, and at that time, he awakened Wood Release through Bulbasaur.

He did not hide it, and showed it openly when he found an opportunity.

There are many people who can use Wood Release in the original work, but if you remove White Zetsu and Uchiha, there are basically two people on the Konoha side - one is Yamato, and the other is Kazesai Moegi.

Kazesai Moegi sounds unfamiliar, but she is actually the teammate of the third generation's grandson Sarutobi Konohamaru. Her Wood Release is not strong either, and it is more like "Grass Release", so she can only play with flowers and plants.

But this point is enough. Regardless of whether Wood Release is strong or not, Wood Release has extraordinary political significance in Konoha alone.

Just an ability that looks a bit like Wood Release directly made Moegi a teammate of the Hokage's grandson, and also served as the teacher of the new Ino Shikacho in Boruto.

Another Wood Release Ninja, Yamato, also enjoyed the benefits of Wood Release - Danzo had given him the precious Wood Release Notes Scroll of the First Hokage in order to train him.

In the ninja system, there are usually only two ways to learn ninjutsu - the first is through master-disciple inheritance, and the second is through ninja mission record accumulation and exchange.

At that time, Yamato was not very old, and he had never done any missions. He used Wood Release crookedly, but even so, the scroll of the First Hokage was given to him!

There is no master-disciple inheritance, and there is no ninja record to exchange ninjutsu.

Just go through the back door and give you a set of ninjutsu scrolls!

This is the status of Wood Release in Konoha.

It doesn't even need the user to be as strong as Hashirama Senju. As long as you have Wood Release, you can basically get the bonus.

...

Hokage's office.

At this time, the two old men standing at the top of Konoha's politics started today's quarrel again.

"Hiratsune! You are too greedy!" Danzo slammed the table angrily.

There is no such thing. You asked for the Wood Release Ninja Yamato before, and now you want Rock, and your grandson plays with Kazesai Moeko every day?

You won't let any of these three! How come you get all the benefits? How can it be so good!

"Danzo, I am the Hokage!"

Huruzen didn't even raise his eyes, and directly used his power to suppress others.

There is no reason for you to tear down the roof and I will open a skylight for you. There is no so-called compromise. Hiruzen's meaning is very clear: I am the Hokage, I want everything, you don't accept it.

The sentence "I am the Hokage" directly hits Danzo's soft spot.

The higher the official, the more powerful he is. Danzo really dreams of becoming a Hokage.

He has long wanted to experience what it feels like to suppress Hiruzen under him.

"Okay, okay! You will regret it!"

Danzo took a deep breath and calmed himself down.

After all, he was not the Hokage, but only the leader of the Root of Konoha. In front of Hiruzen, all he could do was threaten and utter harsh words, and then leave.

With a "bang!"!

Danzo left the Hokage's office that haunted him.

…

After returning to the Root base, Danzo's body was still filled with a chilling aura.

The ninjas of the Root suddenly felt that compared to the severe cold outside, the anger of Danzo was the real winter that they could not resist.

"Damn monkey! Only bullies others by taking advantage of their power!"

"If I had asked the teacher to cover the rear..."

"If I were the Hokage..."

Sitting on the chair, Danzo began his fantasy time.

"Danzo-sama..." The question from the Root Ninja immediately broke Danzo's fantasy. He asked cautiously: "Do we need to snatch that Wood Release Ninja?"

As soon as these words came out, the Root base suddenly fell silent.

The Root Ninja was sweating profusely, and he thought he might have said the wrong thing.

"Wood Release Ninja? Do you think I want a Wood Release Ninja?"

"No! No! You even got the name wrong."

Danzo looked at the Root Ninja with a gloomy face: "I want our Konoha ninja - a ninja named Rock."

"Before calling him a Wood Release Ninja, that child is first Rock, don't make a mistake."

What's the difference?

The root without a name can't understand.

...

Danzo did not continue to pay attention to him, but slowly turned around. He remembered the afternoon when he met Rock——

——

"Rock! I like you, please date me!"

In the sun, the boy rejected a girl's confession with such words.

"Sorry, my lover is this village."

...

It happened that the sun was shining that day, it happened that the breeze was not dry that day, and it happened that Danzo passed by the aisle that day.

"Is the lover this village..." When he heard this, he stopped immediately.

He fell in love with this boy at first sight.

"I want to take him back to the root and instill the will of the root into him."

Yes, Danzo wanted to recruit Rock long before Rock became a wood escape ninja.

Sometimes the fate between people is like this, some people just look pleasing to the eye.

Unfortunately, I was still arrogant at that time. Seeing that Rock was a civilian ninja, I thought about waiting a little longer and observing the other party's character.

But not long after, when Rock was helping the Yamanaka family run the flower shop, he accidentally helped the flowers revive, showing signs of suspected wood escape...

The naturally evil Hiruzen stretched out his evil hand towards Rock!

"Damn Hiruzen, you took something that belongs to me again!"
