Chapter 558: Night City, You've Awakened Wood Style!
Chapter 558: Night City, You've Awakened Wood Style!
Night City was indeed a genius ninja. Even the so-called "Konoha Three Great Ninja" of their village, including the most talented Orochimaru, couldn't compare to Night City's strength at his age.
Night City possessed both exceptional intellect and strength, but life experience was something that even a genius couldn't easily grasp.
At least in Tsunade's eyes, Night City was still too young. There were many intricacies within the ninja world that she couldn't directly explain to him.
The power struggles and darkness within each hidden village were beyond Night City's current understanding.
As Night City's teacher, Tsunade didn't want her disciple to be exposed to these things, so she could only protect him in her own way.
"Teacher Tsunade, you really treat me like a fledgling bird..."
Night City was more surprised by Tsunade's words than the possibility of her drugging him. He had always thought that Tsunade's personality was rather naive compared to the other Kage. Her straightforward and honest nature made her seem unfit for dirty tricks, even when compared to the likes of the Third Hokage and Danzo, those old sly foxes.
But now, it seemed he had underestimated her.
As the granddaughter of the First Hokage and the top female ninja who rose to prominence during the Great Shinobi War, Tsunade had both experience and intelligence.
She often saw through matters but chose not to expose them, and she didn't stoop to their level. Ultimately, this led to her quietly leaving the village.
Night City was well aware of Tsunade's concerns.
Setting aside the Third Hokage for now, Night City was, after all, his grand-disciple, and he had some sense of loyalty. Moreover, the Third Hokage did care for him to some extent.
This was why Night City didn't particularly like the Third Hokage, but he didn't resist some of his orders.
As for the certain pot-Kage of Konoha, he had indeed harbored thoughts about Night City for a while, and he was the one who least wanted to see the Senju Clan rise again.
Objectively speaking, Danzo's devotion to the Third Hokage was undeniable, and he loved Konoha in his own way.
With Sarutobi Hiruzen in power, the resurgence of the Senju Clan would be detrimental to the current Konoha leadership.
Having two voices within the village's upper echelon would hinder its development.
Although Danzo sometimes disagreed with the Third Hokage's decisions, he reluctantly accepted Sarutobi Hiruzen as the Hokage.
This was why Danzo didn't make any moves during the Third Hokage's reign but started causing trouble when the village was about to choose the Fourth Hokage.
In Danzo's eyes, apart from Sarutobi Hiruzen, he was the most suitable candidate for the position.
Currently, Danzo was indeed working hard for Konoha's interests. To solidify his power, he wouldn't mind letting the Senju Clan decline.
The reason Danzo hadn't taken more drastic actions was that Night City and Tsunade were teacher and student, not a couple.
Given Danzo's personality, he would have to eliminate one of them if they were romantically involved.
The Senju Clan had dwindled significantly, and there were still some surviving members, albeit in small numbers. Some were not even ninjas but ordinary villagers.
Yecheng and Tsunade were both outstanding members of the Senju Clan, and if they were to bear children as a couple, it would be no surprise if the Senju Clan rose to prominence once more.
But let's get back to the present. At this moment, Tsunade was also quite surprised by Yecheng's words. In her opinion, although Yecheng had talent and strength, he had not experienced the cruelty of the Great Shinobi War or witnessed the methods of those in power. In terms of experience, he should still be considered a novice in the professional world.
"You speak so boldly, but you've already fallen into my trap.
I think if you weren't so weak and powerless right now, those words would have been more convincing.
Yecheng, you should know that my methods are considered child's play to those who are truly skilled in manipulation."
Tsunade glanced at Yecheng, whose chakra was almost completely sealed by her drugs, and a look of disdain appeared on her face.
Obviously, at this moment, she believed that Yecheng's words were nothing but an act of bravado.
Even with such a simple method, Yecheng had fallen into her trap. How could he possibly compete with the likes of Old Slybald? For Yecheng's safety, Tsunade had also decided that even if Yecheng revealed everything, she would never let him go.
"That's because of Great Thunder... Cough, I didn't take many precautions because Tsunade-sensei is the person I trust the most."
Seeing Yecheng's confident expression, Tsunade slightly frowned, but soon she felt that Yecheng was just bluffing.
Undeniably, Yecheng was the most talented ninja she had seen in recent years. When she left Konoha a few years ago, she had a feeling that Yecheng's strength might not be weaker than hers.
Now, after a few years, Tsunade was even more convinced that her disciple had surpassed her.
It was also because of this that she, without the confidence to defeat Yecheng, had poisoned the wine and used drugs to suppress Yecheng's chakra.
But now, with Yecheng's chakra almost completely suppressed, he still claimed to be no match for her, which made Tsunade feel a little unconvinced.
After all, she was one of the 'Konoha Three Great Ninja' and currently the top female ninja in the entire Shinobi World. How dare Yecheng, with only three-tenths of his chakra remaining, act so arrogantly before her!
Most geniuses were proud and arrogant, and Tsunade felt that Yecheng had always had it too easy, never encountering any setbacks.
So, facing her stubborn disciple, Tsunade decided to teach Yecheng a lesson and let him know the importance of respecting his teacher.
As she saw Tsunade quickly wrap a towel around herself and swing her fist towards her, Yecheng remained calm and composed, placing his hands together to form hand seals and saying, "This is a rare opportunity. Let Tsunade-sensei witness my growth over the past few years.
Wood Style: Tree Bind Eternal Burial!"
Vine-like seedlings suddenly spread along the water and ground, rapidly growing towards Tsunade's feet.
Seeing the vines entwining her ankles, Tsunade's face showed a look of shock. "You've awakened the Bloodline Limit of Wood Style!"
There was no mistake. Compared to the vines wrapping around her feet, Tsunade was even more shocked that Yecheng had awakened Wood Style!
(I really want to write a masterpiece about filial piety, but the environment doesn't allow it. It has ruthlessly killed the great work in my mind.
