Chapter 56 [We Vegetative People Are Like This. ]
The sun was just right that day.
The breeze was not dry that day.
Sarutobi happened to see it that day.
…
"Rock! I like you, please date me!"
Under the sun, this boy rejected a girl's confession with such words.
"Sorry, my love is this village."
…
"Is this village your lover..."
Sarutobi was silent. What a spirit of dedication. For him, an old pervert, this was an unimaginable weight.
"Teacher...could this be the inheritance of the Will of Fire?"
At this moment, Sarutobi closed his eyes, he remembered this boy.
But Sarutobi Hiruzen never expected that not long after, the chief of the Yamazaka clan came to report about Rock's awakening of Wood Release, which shocked him at the time.
After investigation, it was discovered that although the ancestor of Rock was not a ninja, he was also a collateral member of the Senju clan. His main job was to be responsible for the clothing business of the Senju clan. However, after the Senju clan was disbanded, these clothes with the clan emblem were basically just that. No one wears them anymore.
In fact, this is normal. Even the Uchiha genius clan has members who cannot become ninjas.
These clan members will be responsible for the livelihood of the clan and make their own contributions to the clan.
The Thousand Hands clan is really blessed by God to be able to awaken a child who can use Wood Release in this side branch.
Sarutobi was very pleased that the teacher's will and blood had been inherited, but then he felt extremely angry——
I don’t know where Danzo got the information, but he actually extended his sinful hand to the little boy!
Sarutobi Hiruzen did not expect that before he knew it, Danzo's eyes and ears had stretched so far!
but……
"The root organization is inherently evil, don't even think about instilling your root will in him!"
"Danzo! As the Hokage, I will never let you succeed!"
…
Training Ground No. 18.
Iruka was making his final mobilization.
"As I said this morning, this assessment is an order personally given by Hokage-sama." Iruka looked around at everyone with a serious expression: "The first place winner in today's competition will be rewarded by Anbu-sama for half a year. Personal teaching!”
After Iruka glanced at Naruto who was confused about the seriousness of the matter, he coughed and continued: "Ahem! Not only that, the winning students will not have to go to school until June of next year."
"What!" Naruto was shocked and immediately gathered up his energy: "I'm sure to be the first this time!"
"Idiot." Sasuke complained from the side.
But soon, his expression became extremely serious.
‘Will there actually be personal guidance from ANBU in this exam? ’
Sasuke clearly remembered that the man - the man he was determined to kill, was once a member of the ANBU.
'Perhaps, this is the best opportunity to test out that man's strength laterally...'
Sasuke silently clenched his fists and quietly looked at Rock who was calm beside him.
"Rock! This time, I will definitely win!" Sasuke thought in his mind.
As soon as Sasuke made up his mind, Naruto ran over.
"Rock, Sasuke! Don't lose before me!" Naruto smiled confidently: "I will wait for your challenge in the finals!"
ah?
As expected of the most unexpected ninja, Mizuki on the other side couldn't stop him.
No, where did you get your confidence from?
Have you settled? Are you going to meet others at the top?
"Idiot!" Sasuke looked at Naruto speechlessly.
But thanks to Naruto making such a fuss, he wasn't so nervous anymore.
…
The game started soon.
A one-on-one elimination match will be conducted by drawing lots.
The whole class's competition went very quickly, and the second generation villagers of Konoha took the lead in an almost crushing manner. Naruto was the first to be eliminated, and he lost directly to Haruno Sakura.
Genin battles are basically determined by taijutsu and shuriken throwing techniques, and Sasuke is excellent in both areas.
What's more, he also has the fire escape as his trump card.
Whether it's against Shino Aburame's bugs or against Inuzuka Kiba's taijutsu, his fire escape can make his opponents throw rat weapons.
So at this stage, Sasuke can indeed be called the number one, if Rock is not included.
"Next, Uchiha Sasuke versus Rock! Please come forward and form the seal of opposition." Mizuki shouted, holding the schedule in his hand.
"It is indeed these two people..."
"The fateful showdown between Senju and Uchiha."
"Have we already met before the finals?"
The other eliminated students were talking on the sidelines.
Uchiha Sasuke took a deep breath to relieve the pressure in his heart and block out all the noisy sounds from the surrounding audience.
This time, he must win!
Uchiha Sasuke didn't dare to be careless. He had never defeated Rock once in these years, but he had been collecting all the information about Rock, including the various ninja tools Rock used.
"His most commonly used ninja tool is a silver kunai, which he won at a shop event in the village."
Sasuke mentally considered Rock's information.
"The only regular ninjutsu I have learned is "Water Release: Water Release" and "Earth Release: Earth Release: Return of the Earth and the Land". They were the ninjutsu rewards obtained in the competition last year and the year before last respectively."
The two ninjutsus are one for attack and one for defense. Water Release can be amplified by Rock using the magic of Clear Water. Unfortunately, magic is only effective in the ninja world and can only be slightly amplified.
The defensive ninjutsu "Earth Release: Return of Earth and Land" is of level C difficulty. Its effect is to lift up the ground in front like a tatami, which is very similar to the earth wall, and is considered a pre-version of the earth wall.
"But what is really difficult to defend is his "Wood Release: Seed Rapid Growth Technique""
This is a technique created by Rock, inspired by "Flower Tree World Advent" and Yamato's "Wood Release: Wood Nut Fruit". The effect of the wood nut fruit is to produce communicator seeds that can be used for tracking.
At that time, Rock was still in the Bulbasaur period, and Wood Release was not fully awakened. Although it was stronger than Moe, it also needed some external objects to enhance its strength.
So when Rock helped at the Yamanaka family's flower shop, he asked them to get some seeds of powerful plants unique to the ninja world, and then threw the tiny seeds with shuriken, and then activated them with the seed rapid growth technique.
Some of these plants have a strong coma effect like the flowers in "Flower Tree World Advent", and some will explode when they encounter fire.
Rock also planned to try to make plant seeds that did not exist in this world after his Wood Release became stronger, such as biting cabbage, and Rock from another world could provide the structure of the seeds.
In just a blink of an eye, Sasuke went through all of Rock's information in his mind.
He slowly made the seal of opposition, while his eyes were focused on Rock's movements.
"The duel begins!"
"Fire Release--"
"Wood Release: Sea of Trees!"
Rock immediately made a seal, and a large amount of wood climbed out from the ground and quickly occupied the open space in the training ground. The huge chakra flowed along the ground veins, and vines and tree roots extended one by one.
Countless vines and branches instantly bound Sasuke in place.
Sasuke gritted his teeth secretly and tried hard, but his face turned red.
His two hands were less than two fingers away from making the last seal of the Great Fireball, but now both hands were controlled by the vines and could not move at all!
This move is a lower-level substitute for the Sea of Trees, which was once used by Yamato.
Now, after Rock fully awakened Wood Release, he combined the skills of Bulbasaur and figured out how to use it.
The other students on the side were so shocked by the sea of trees that they were speechless.
And Iruka immediately took care of the students' safety anxiously to prevent any students from being accidentally injured.
Rock's next opponent, Inuzuka Kiba, quietly swallowed his saliva, and his Akamaru had been screaming since just now.
"Is this Wood Release Ninjutsu? The power of the legendary Ninja God?"
"Is it because the reward this time is the guidance of the Anbu, so you are serious?" Nara Shikamaru scratched his head: "It's really scary, this guy, it's better to give up."
And Rock on the field said to Sasuke with a calm expression:
"Sasuke, it's time for the seal of reconciliation."
