Konoha.
On the circular rooftop of the Hokage building under the moonlight, two Hokage hats flutter in the night breeze, with the figures of two Fifth Hokage hidden in the shadows around.
At this moment, the Anbu of the two Fifth Hokage are staring at each other, turning their heads away, but the initial mutual suspicion and caution between them has now turned into a strange atmosphere.
The two Fifth Hokage, Uchiha Yoru and Tsunade, lean against the edge of the rooftop, gazing at the night view of Konoha.
"The Land of Fire on the Ninja Continent has the most fertile land and the richest resources. As long as there are human emotions and desires, conflicts are inevitable."
When discussing this issue, Uchiha Yoru appears calm, as if he has already accepted this reality, while Tsunade sighs lightly with emotion beside him.
"So your ambition is to establish rules, following the law of the jungle, where the strong stand at the top of the pyramid and ordinary civilians live at the very bottom."
Faced with this cruel topic, Uchiha Yoru reveals a look of astonishment and scratches his head looking at Tsunade: "When did you get this illusion that civilians live at the bottom?"
"Is it because of the villagers of Konoha? Then how is their life different from that of the civilians in the villages of Stone and Sand ninjas? Maybe just in terms of the natural environment, but the living standards in the five great countries are almost the same."
"Benefits are never what civilians pursue. They just want to live in a stable environment, have a home, and their only pursuit is to have enough to eat and not to freeze in winter."
Uchiha Yoru bluntly exposes the hypocrisy of the ninja world, shaking his head at Tsunade: "This world has always been ruled by the strong, which is why there are rules. Without order, there is chaos."
"The First Hokage was called the God of the Ninja World because he suppressed all strong powers and changed the ninja world's structure, transitioning from the warring states of the ninja world to the current village situation."
"You little brat."
Tsunade, lectured, can't help but feel a bit embarrassed and snorts in dissatisfaction.
"The situation in the ninja world is not good lately. With your way of shearing wool, the major ninja villages are already dissatisfied and have almost stopped aiding you."
As Tsunade says this, she frowns and says seriously, "Recent intelligence indicates that elite ninjas from the Cloud, Stone, and even Sand have infiltrated the Land of Fire. These three great ninja villages are getting impatient and eager to start a war."
Uchiha Yoru, more aware of this situation, shrugs and chuckles: "Don't worry, haven't we also made preparations? In half a month, during the Hokage succession ceremony, envoys from the major ninja villages will come to observe. It will be time to end this farce."
"Farce?" Tsunade, looking at the young Uchiha Yoru's calm and relaxed demeanor, as if talking about a trivial matter, reveals a look of astonishment, as if she can't keep up with the courage of the young generation.
"Little brat, this farce of yours is really big, directly involving the entire ninja world. Let's see how you face the turmoil in the ninja world!"
Watching Tsunade's cute little temper, Uchiha Yoru can't help but smile, but his eyes gradually reveal a disdainful and arrogant air.
"Turmoil in the ninja world? Heh, in the face of absolute power, there is no turmoil. I will lead Konoha to rebirth and rise to the peak again."
At this moment, Uchiha Yoru turns his head and says solemnly to Tsunade: "Uchiha and Senju will once again lead Konoha to dominate the ninja world!"
Looking at Uchiha Yoru exuding a maturity and dominance not befitting his age, Tsunade involuntarily raised her golden eyebrows and revealed a cold smile.
“What about the Fifth Mizukage, Terumī Mei?”
Suddenly bringing up this awkward question, Uchiha Yoru's powerful aura dissipated in an instant, but he showed no embarrassment, instead, a firmness emerged in his eyes.
“For the sake of Konoha, for the peace of the ninja world!”
“Shameless brat!” Tsunade cursed in her heart, but she seemed to have accepted this point.
Uchiha Yoru also sighed in relief, then with a solemn expression, he asked in a deep voice, “Sister Tsunade, have you completed that ninjutsu?”
Hearing this address, Tsunade's cheeks flushed slightly, and she couldn't help but snort coldly, “Brat, who are you calling sister? Orochimaru is your teacher.”
“Hehe, Sister Tsunade, let's each speak for ourselves. I call you sister, and you call me…”
Uchiha Yoru's shameless smile made Tsunade both angry and amused, but deep inside she sighed, the pressure of family and village had driven this brat to this point.
He vaguely remembered that this brat had already decided to change Konoha when he was just a teenager, and sighed softly in his heart.
“The Forbidden Technique Chimera is indeed powerful, but it also has obvious drawbacks.”
When talking about this Forbidden Technique, Tsunade became serious and shared her thoughts.
“This technique can indeed merge a ninja or a summoning beast with one's body, possessing its abilities, and even merging Kekkei Genkai. But the so-called immortality after completing this jutsu is just theoretical, it actually only enhances cell activity... at most prolonging life, but not achieving immortality.”
“And trying to merge what one doesn't inherently possess, what is obtained is only incomplete, like Kekkei Genkai, which certainly won't be as powerful as the original. Also, after merging, this power can hardly be enhanced, the secrets of the human body are not something one person can thoroughly research.”
Tsunade is a princess of the Senju clan. The Second Hokage created many Forbidden Technique, especially ones like Edo Tensei, after extensive human research, so Tsunade is no amateur.
Relying on the research left by the Second Hokage, Tsunade stood on the shoulders of giants, and her theoretical knowledge of the human body is definitely no less than Orochimaru's.
Listening, Uchiha Yoru nodded and smiled lightly, “That's why I improved this jutsu, although the difficulty increased, and some aspects were reduced, but it's also nearly perfect now.”
Discussing this perfect version of the kinjutsu, Tsunade couldn't help but feel, “You truly are Orochimaru's disciple, the talent you two have in ninjutsu and forbidden technique is just as terrifyingly similar.”
“Indeed, the improved technique can achieve this step, but it's more about approaching the power one inherently possesses, like the potential hidden within one's body.”
At this point, Tsunade slowly curled the corners of her mouth and a smile appeared on her face. Her delicate and fair hand slowly extended, only visible to the two of them.
A branch suddenly sprouted from her hand, even budding with fresh green leaves.
“For example, although I, a member of the Senju clan, did not inherit Wood Release, theoretically, everyone in the Senju clan has hidden Wood Release genes. Perhaps these genes are incomplete, but almost everyone spends their whole life unable to awaken and stimulate these genes.”
“This forbidden technique, however, can stimulate these genes through external factors, like my grandfather's Wood Release cells. Through this jutsu, the incomplete genes in the body can be repaired and activated, which is also known as awakening the inherent Kekkei Genkai.”
With a gentle squeeze of her palm, the branch was crushed into dust. Despite such a violent act, Tsunade casually said, “So, this forbidden technique, which is said to plunder and merge others' Kekkei Genkai, in its perfected form, is more about repairing and activating the hidden genes in one's own body.”
“Clap clap!”
Watching Tsunade's explanation, Uchiha Yoru couldn't help but show an admiring smile, clapping his hands in praise.
“Sure enough, worthy of being the princess of the Senju clan. This analytical and understanding ability is absolutely top-notch in the ninja world.”
Uchiha Yoru, giving a thumbs-up with a smile, thought that this forbidden technique, capable of plundering others' Kekkei Genkai, is terrifying. To say it has no drawbacks would be impossible.
Indiscriminately plundering Kekkei Genkai that does not belong to oneself, the power gained is only temporary and incomplete, almost impossible to enhance through continuous training like a ninja who naturally possesses the Kekkei Genkai.
The perfected version he deduced through the Qi Yun Luck (still have no idea what this is) actually changes direction, shifting from plundering and merging to repairing and activating.
It's like he belongs to the Uchiha clan, but 500 years ago, the Senju and Uchiha were one family. He also has the Senju clan's genes, albeit weak and incomplete, still present in his body.
Through the forbidden technique: Forbidden Technique Chimera, using Senju Hashirama's cells, or rather, the perfect version of the genes, he aims to stimulate and repair his own genes, thereby awakening them.
Of course, after completing this forbidden technique, it's not a 100% awakening of Kekkei Genkai. It's also possible for Uchiha ninjas to use Senju Hashirama's cells through this jutsu to activate and revive this physique.
That is to say, Uchiha clan ninjas are awakening the physique of the Senju clan.
As for the aspect of Kekkei Genkai awakening, it's already a matter of metaphysics.
There's also another point, the difficulty of training for this forbidden technique.
The reason it's called a forbidden technique is because the training difficulty and requirements are extremely harsh. Otherwise, why would so many forbidden techniques, stored by various ninja villages, almost disappear after the older generation passes away.
The Chimera, its basic threshold, is possessing a Kage-level vast amount of chakra, and that's just the basics.
“Who would have thought that the Senju and Uchiha clans actually share the same ancestor.”
Uchiha Yoru said jokingly, and Tsunade also sighed, “Yes, the Senju and Uchiha fought for hundreds of years during the Warring States period, it's practically a joke.”
Uchiha Yoru, who awakened the Mangekyō Sharingan, could not miss the stone tablet in the secret chamber of the Naka Shrine, which has influenced countless people.
The tablet records the matters of the Senju and Uchiha. When the two powers combine, they can create a stronger force. Of course, this is after Zetzu's tampering.
But that's enough. With the existence of this tablet, one problem can be solved, that is, the issue between the Senju and Uchiha.
Black Zetzu probably never imagined that the content he tampered with was still used by others.
In Uchiha Yoru's eyes, everything has its unique value, and it all depends on whether you can discover it and then promote it.
“So, next, maybe Princess Tsunade will awaken the Sharingan. When that time comes, tsk tsk."
In Uchiha Yoru's teasing voice, Tsunade couldn't help but turn her head haughtily and snorted coldly: "Stop joking, the difficulty of using this forbidden technique increases exponentially each time, and it requires at least three years for the body to adapt after each use."
"I'm already unexpectedly happy to have awakened Wood Release. As for the Sharingan, let's wait three years before discussing it again."
Faced with this problem, Uchiha Yoru couldn't help but laugh and shake his head. This forbidden technique is almost like Uncle Snake's Impure World Reincarnation, also bound by a three-year condition.
The difference is, while others need three years to adapt, he can accelerate his body's adaptation using Qi Luck.
His Uchiha bloodline now possesses the Senju clan's Wood Release and the Uzumaki clan's physique. Even if he were to awaken an ability similar to a Kekkei Genkai of the Uzumaki clan, he hasn't awakened anything yet.
Simply put, activating the Uzumaki clan's physique and with the enhanced vitality, both Wood Release and Sharingan abilities have significantly improved.
Wood Release, Sharingan, and the Uzumaki clan's strong life force together are more than the sum of their parts.
"There seems to be a huge secret hidden in the ninja world. Did the Sage of Six Paths really exist? How were the Tailed Beasts, seen as disasters but undying, born? And the origin of the ninja world, the progenitor of Chakra."
Looking at Uchiha Yoru beside her, exuding a mysterious charm and speaking of philosophical topics, Tsunade couldn't help but become somewhat dazed.
This brat is just like Orochimaru, even more obsessively extreme.
Orochimaru, at least, only wanted to pursue the truth behind Chakra and ninjutsu, but this brat is greedier, seemingly wanting to uncover all the secrets of the ninja world.
"Hey, hey, this topic is getting off track."
Although Tsunade appeared to be complaining, deep down she was more sighing. This brat was also forced to take this path. If they lived in peaceful times, perhaps this brat and Orochimaru would have joined forces to pursue the truth of the ninja world.
Instead of now, ambitiously scheming for the peace of Konoha and the ninja world.
The Uchiha and Senju clans founded Konoha, but now it has become the shackles that bind this brat, just like Orochimaru. The difference is, Orochimaru chose to break free of these shackles under certain circumstances.
But this brat chose to face the challenge head-on.
Different choices lead to different lives. Uchiha Yoru and Orochimaru are similar, but they chose different paths.
Faced with shackles, Orochimaru chose to watch others break them for him. Uchiha Yoru, however, chose to take control of the shackles himself.
It's worth mentioning Tsunade's own imagination...
Under Tsunade's imagination, she feels a unique sympathy for Uchiha Yoru, who has been struggling since his teens, even feeling sorry for him.
After all, when faced with the corruption of Konoha's higher-ups, she chose to escape. Jiraiya is another story, and Orochimaru purely left the choice in his teacher's hands.
If the Third had passed the title of Hokage to Orochimaru, though he would still be busy researching, he would definitely bring change to the stagnant Konoha, like an old person in their twilight years.
They all chose to escape, but it was a teenager who firmed his will, decided to take on the responsibility, and vowed to change everything, facing difficulties head-on.
Faced with this, Tsunade also feels ashamed. Adding to this, the brat's vision, strategy, methods, and tactics, she chooses to support him. Didn't Jiraiya also start neutral?
If any aspect of Uchiha Yoru's vision, strategy, or methods were lacking, making Jiraiya and Tsunade feel it would only bring destruction, they would never let Uchiha Yoru control Konoha.
Simply put, they both have to admit that Uchiha Yoru's plan this time has left them in awe, and they think it's feasible. Even if it fails, overall, it's not a big deal.
After all, so many high-level forces have suddenly emerged. Is Konoha's military capability lacking? But the problem is that they have an advantage in high-end battles.
And all of these high-level forces are young, and anyone would know how to choose. These high-level forces united can ensure Konoha's development for decades to come.
