The Third Ninja War: Rock Ninja Battlefield

Ever since the last large-scale attack that was thwarted by Orochimaru and Dawn, they seemed to have become much quieter, and the Third Ninja World War entered a rare period of calm.

Inside the Hokage's Office

"Huruzen, have you discovered that there is a common point behind these wars?" Danzo said to the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen while standing in the office.

The Third Hokage raised his head from where he was reading the document, frowned, and asked, "Oh? What's the problem?"

"The reason why the other four ninja villages frequently waged war against our Konoha is that they believed that our Konoha's strength had declined." Danzo said slowly, his voice revealing a bit of firmness. "The first time was because of the death of the First Hokage, which made them feel that there was no one else in Konoha who could compete with them. Then they were beaten back by the teacher's self-created ninjutsu and had no choice but to sign a ceasefire agreement."

"The second time was because Sensei was ambushed by the people of the Hidden Cloud Village. They thought that the strength of our Konoha had declined and launched a war. However, during that war, rising stars in our Konoha continued to emerge. First, there was Hatake Tsuchimoru and his team, known as the White Fang of Konoha, and then there were your three disciples. So we repelled them again."

"And now the third time, it's because they learned of White Fang's death and Tsunade's departure. So I think if we want to make the four major ninja villages fearful, the only way is for Konoha to show its strength to sweep away everything again."

The Third Hokage nodded, looked at Danzo coldly and said: "Danzo, I don't want to talk about those things between White Fang and Tsunade anymore. Others don't know what's going on, but don't you know? You don't need to beat around the bush here, just tell me what you want to do this time?"

"I think that Konoha now needs a truly strong man, a strong man who can shock the four surrounding ninja villages like the first Hokage did." Danzo said, ignoring the third Hokage's barbed words.

The Third Hokage was silent for a moment, then slowly said, "The reason why the First Hokage could dominate the ninja world was not only because of the huge amount of chakra in his body, but also because of his unique Wood Release Ninjutsu, which is a ninjutsu that is difficult for ordinary people to replicate."

Danzo took a deep breath and seemed to have made up his mind: "That's why I suggest that we conduct an in-depth study on the cell tissue of the first Hokage, so that we can give birth to a ninja who masters Wood Release Ninjutsu in Konoha again."

The Third Hokage's face darkened when he heard this: "Danzo, you are blaspheming the First Hokage! I will never allow you to do this!"

Danzo was unmoved. His voice was strong and powerful: "I am only making this suggestion for the future of Konoha. If this research can be successful, even if you let me walk into Konoha's prison cell myself, I will have no complaints."

The Third Hokage looked at Danzo's determined eyes and couldn't help but feel a wave of emotion in his heart.

He pondered for a long time, and finally said slowly: "Do you want to increase the power of Konoha, or do you want to increase the power of your own 'Root'? I can allow you to do this in secret, but I will send someone to supervise your research process."

Danzo nodded in agreement. He then turned and left the Hokage's office, leaving the Third Hokage alone in his thoughts.

As night fell, the lights in the Hokage's office were still bright. The Third Hokage summoned the Anbu members and issued an order, sending it to the battlefield of Iwagakure Village.

.....................

On the distant battlefield of Iwagakure, Orochimaru looked at the note in his hand and a long-lost smile appeared on his face. He immediately rushed to Dawn's tent to share the good news with Dawn.

At this time, Dawn had already completed the practice of the ninjutsu scroll obtained from the Sand Ninja, and successfully extracted the ninjutsu from the Destiny System.

At this time, he was continuing to study the changes in the nature of chakra and the special ninjutsu after fusion.

But when he heard Orochimaru's voice outside the tent, he immediately put down his work and opened the tent curtain.

"Mr. Aoki, the situation here is temporarily stable and there won't be much change in the short term. Just leave the remaining ninjas as a defense team to monitor the movements of the Iwagakure Village at all times. At the same time, my teacher wants to call me back to participate in the research on Wood Release. So I came here to know what your plans are next?" Orochimaru walked into the tent and asked with a smile.

Dawn thought for a moment and replied, "Maybe I'll go back to the village and rest for a while."

After spending some time together, Xiao discovered that Orochimaru was not as scary as in the original novel, but more like a gentle gentleman. The relationship between the two became that of a teacher and a friend. Therefore, Xiao decided to remind Orochimaru about the research on Wood Release.

"Lord Orochimaru, the Wood Release research you mentioned is intended to reach the level of the First Hokage?" Dawn asked curiously.

"That's right." Orochimaru nodded, "We plan to use the cell tissue of the first Hokage as a specimen for cloning experiments, and find a body that is compatible with this cell so that it can learn Wood Release Ninjutsu."

After hearing this, Poxiao pondered for a moment and said, "But as far as I know, the Wood Release of the First Hokage is fundamentally different from other Wood Releases. I once tried to fuse the Water and Earth Chakras to simulate Wood Release but found that there are huge differences between them." As he said this, he condensed the Water and Earth Chakras to fuse, and a branch immediately grew out of his hand.

Orochimaru was amazed at Dawn's performance: "Dawn-kun, have you already developed Wood Release? This is really shocking!"

However, Dawn shook his head and said, "Although this is indeed Wood Release, it is far from what I imagined the First Hokage's Wood Release to be. According to historical records, the First Hokage's Wood Release was full of vitality, but the Wood Release I have researched lacks that feeling, as if it were a piece of dead wood." As he said that, he condensed the fire chakra and touched the branch that had grown before. Instantly the branch was ignited and turned into a pile of ashes.

"Historical books have recorded that the First Hokage once used Wood Release to successfully resist Uchiha Madara's Fire Release Ninjutsu, but the Wood Release that I studied can be easily ignited by flames, which is fundamentally different from the First Hokage's Wood Release." Dawn explained.

Although Orochimaru had long known that Dawn had a great talent for studying ninjutsu, he was still surprised when he heard about Dawn's research and understanding of Wood Release. He then decided to propose to the Third Hokage to let Dawn join the ranks of Wood Release research.

"Mr. Poxiao, I didn't expect that your research on Wood Release has reached this level. I want to talk to my teacher about it when I go back this time and ask him to let you join this research." Orochimaru suggested.

Poxiao smiled and shook his head and said, "This is the extent of my current research. I have shown it to you, so it doesn't matter whether I join or not. Even if I don't join this research, I will tell you as soon as I make new progress in my research on Wood Release."

Orochimaru said sincerely: "How about this, I will try to get the teacher to grant you access to the research base at any time. If you have time, you can come to the laboratory to find me directly."

Poxiao pretended to refuse several times, but couldn't stand Orochimaru's constant persuasion and finally agreed.

After Orochimaru left, Xiaoxiao showed a smug smile on his face and said to himself: "It shouldn't arouse suspicion this time, right?"

Tianming also said in his mind at this time: "Are you trying to find a reasonable reason to enter the root at any time to survey intelligence?"

Dawn nodded and said, "That's right. After all, before Danzo became the 5.5th Hokage, he spent most of his time hiding in his headquarters. Although my current strength is still a little lacking, it's just right for me to explore the terrain inside."
