Naruto: Who made him a ninja?

A good thing for everyone, especially for Konoha.

"How do you feel, Teacher?" asked Shūzawa, looking at Tsunade's pale face in the cabin within the Fire Country's forest.

With Tsunade's approval, the injection of White Zetsu's 'solvent' went very smoothly, and to prevent Tsunade from noticing anything amiss, he had deliberately made the solvent red.

At least, it didn't look too different from blood or similar things.

Of course, there was another reason: he wanted to see if Tsunade really had hemophobia.

Speaking of which, Shūzawa never really believed that Tsunade's hemophobia was a genuine fear of blood.

It was more of a frustration stemming from her helplessness in the face of life's passing. Whether it was her younger brother or her former lover, both had died before her eyes, and she could do nothing.

This sense of frustration caused her to feel as though 'painful memories are attacking me' whenever she saw blood.

However, Shūzawa was only guessing. He didn't study psychology and couldn't understand these things.

But at least sometimes, he saw that Tsunade seemed fine even when she saw blood.

"It feels very strange. I can feel a very special power erupting within my body, but…"

Tsunade frowned, carefully sensing for a moment before shaking her head.

"The intensity of this eruption is a bit too strong, somewhat beyond my expectations. Even when I try to suppress it with chakra, the effect doesn't seem very good.

It seems your power is truly beyond imagination. I originally thought there wouldn't be any reaction, but now it seems I underestimated you and overestimated myself."

"Lie down, I'll examine you."

Hearing Tsunade's words, Shūzawa frowned slightly.

Tsunade glanced at Shūzawa out of the corner of her eye, but in the end, she obediently lay on the bed, watching Shūzawa reach out and press his hand on her lower abdomen.

Instantly, Shūzawa's chakra surged into her body, wanting to figure out what was going on. It really needed to be investigated with chakra.

"So that's how it is…"

A few minutes later, Shūzawa raised his hand and then stroked his chin.

"The situation is better than I imagined, but also worse in some ways."

"What do you mean?" Tsunade looked at Shūzawa in confusion. "Was it a success or a failure?"

"This matter is somewhat difficult to define in terms of success and failure."

Shūzawa carefully considered his words before sitting down beside Tsunade and looking at her.

"In short, Teacher, your body has already reacted. The chakra belonging to Wood Release seems to be awakening."

Tsunade having this effect was not unexpected. After all, she was a direct descendant of Hashirama Senju, and the current White Zetsu were created based on Hashirama Senju's cells.

Even if Tsunade was far from Hashirama Senju, the inheritance flowing through her bloodline would not change, so Shūzawa was not surprised by this situation.

However, he now seemed to understand why the people of the Senju clan were not so willing to experiment with Hashirama Senju's cells!

Damn it, it's too strong!

"Teacher, I remember reading in a report that the Second Hokage-sama was the first to experiment with the First Hokage-sama's cells, right?"

Shūzawa smiled wryly as he looked at Tsunade and asked, and Tsunade nodded.

"Yes, Great-Grandfather did do this, but why are you asking this? Could it be…"

"I'm afraid it's similar to what Teacher understands."

Seeing Tsunade's expression, Shūzawa knew that she had guessed some of the reasons.

"The Second Hokage-sama should have first tried it within the Senju clan, right? After all, the Senju clan has the best compatibility.

It's just that the compatibility was too high, which caused the people of the Senju clan to fuse too well, and in the end, they were backlashed, right?"

"There are indeed such things…"

Tsunade frowned. These things would not be recorded on scrolls, at least not in the version she gave to Shūzawa. These would be recorded in more confidential documents.

Now that Shūzawa could say this, it could only mean one thing.

"Am I encountering a similar situation?"

"Almost."

Shūzawa nodded. Too high compatibility would actually cause problems, which was really beyond his expectations.

Even though White Zetsu was already a product weakened by Black Zetsu and Madara Uchiha, it was not surprising that it had such a wonderful reaction when it encountered Tsunade.

"But don't worry, the situation of too high a fusion rate is indeed a bit unexpected, but as long as you control the amount, there won't be any problems."

Looking at Tsunade's somewhat pale face, Shūzawa comforted her, while also pondering in his heart.

"Danzo doesn't have White Zetsu, and he used original cells, but he successfully used Wood Release…"

Out of nowhere, Shūzawa suddenly thought of his boss, Danzo Shimura, and his situation was the most special.

After some thought, Shūzawa suddenly thought of something!

"It seems that the Sharingan played a huge role in this."

The power of the Senju clan, even including the Wood Release awakened by Hashirama Senju, is actually a product of Yang Release power.

Even though Wood Release is a product of water and earth, it still needs Asura's power to guide it to have such an effect.

And Indra inherently possesses the power of Yin Release, and the Sharingan is an aggregate of Yin Release!

The intertwining of Yin and Yang Release probably creates a wonderful balance.

"And it's not just Danzo, it seems that all those who successfully used White Zetsu's power have Sharingan, whether it's Madara Uchiha or Obito."

Shūzawa seemed to have grasped the key point, which made his eyes light up.

"If I remember correctly, Naruto's arm was modified and cannot be completely regarded as White Zetsu's power.

So, what really neutralizes this power is actually Yin Release!"

Yin Release, Shūzawa knows it.

"Tch, I knew this wouldn't go smoothly. I said we should have given up then."

While Hidezawa was pondering, Tsunade sighed, resting her hand on her forehead.

However, her words brought Hidezawa back to his senses.

"Teacher, perhaps I can help you."

With a plan in mind, Hidezawa didn't wait for Tsunade's agreement before reaching out and placing his hand on her lower abdomen again.

In the next moment, he mobilized his [Yin Release] chakra and infused it into Tsunade's body once more!

"You—"

Tsunade was about to say something, but she suddenly felt the power within her body being balanced, which left her speechless.

She looked up, wanting to glance at Hidezawa's hand, but her 'two mountains' blocked her view, forcing her to give up.

However, she felt that the injected power, under Hidezawa's control, was rapidly merging with her own.

Moreover, with Hidezawa's suppression, this power didn't erupt but was instead exceptionally smooth and docile.

"Truly unbelievable…"

Sensing the changes within herself, Tsunade couldn't help but murmur, then she suddenly smiled.

"I really don't know which lineage you come from. The compatibility is so high, I suspect my grandfather had an illegitimate child."

"Uh…"

Hidezawa was taken aback, feeling a bit dumbfounded.

These are your grandfather's cells! And with his brain, would he even have an illegitimate child?

"I think the First Hokage would hardly do such a thing, and even if he did, it probably wouldn't involve you."

Hidezawa couldn't help but retort, but inwardly he was glad he transmigrated early.

This world's technological development is too specialized. Genetic research exists, but it's clearly not advanced enough yet.

In Hidezawa's memory, it was Tsunade's old classmate Orochimaru who truly promoted the research and development of biotechnology.

But that was more than ten years later, almost during the Boruto era. The current situation is far from that.

"Besides, doesn't the information say that my parents weren't from the Senju clan? Maybe we're not even cousins."

"Tch."

Tsunade rolled her eyes. She wanted to correct Hidezawa's way of addressing her, but then she thought that being a bit younger wasn't a bad thing.

Moreover, the Senju clan had many members. Although it was a clan, the blood ties between them were separated by several generations, so no one knew for sure.

Who knew which lineage Hidezawa's parents belonged to? They must have declined to the point where Hidezawa ended up in this situation.

It was also a pity that Konoha's systems weren't complete back then. Ninjas did have serial numbers, but the records weren't perfect, and there was nothing that could be done about it.

"No matter what happened in the past, we're family now. And thank you, Hidezawa."

"Teacher, you're too polite."

Hidezawa smiled nonchalantly: "You said it, we're family."

Family. Hearing this, Tsunade nodded in satisfaction.

But soon she suddenly thought of something and couldn't help but look up at Hidezawa's hand still on her abdomen, but in the end, she pursed her lips and didn't say anything.

Two Wood Release users… what would the old man think if he knew?

"Hidezawa, what's wrong with Teacher Tsunade?"

Sitting by the campfire, Yuugao ate grilled fish while whispering to Hidezawa.

"Well, I'm not too sure. Maybe it's a… woman thing."

Hidezawa glanced at the wooden house, pondered for a moment, and gave an uncertain answer, which made Yuugao roll her eyes.

Are you kidding me?

A woman thing?

Aren't you afraid of getting beaten up!

Actually, Hidezawa didn't really know what was going on. After he balanced Tsunade's body with the White Zetsu's solvent, he found that Tsunade had become like this.

Although the absorption was complete, Tsunade's face was still a bit pale, but this was normal.

But the problem was that she seemed absentminded and didn't know what she was thinking, which made Hidezawa feel inexplicable.

And she had been in this state since Yuugao and the others returned, and even now she hadn't recovered much, which made Hidezawa couldn't help but complain.

"Don't joke around, is she sick?"

Seeing Hidezawa's silence, Yuugao thought for a moment and couldn't help but mutter.

"If that's the case, Hidezawa, you should take her back quickly."

"What could happen to her? Don't worry too much."

Hidezawa snorted twice and just happened to see Shizune walking out, so he pointed at Shizune.

"If you don't believe me, ask Shizune-nee. Teacher Tsunade's physical condition is definitely not bad, right?"

"Uh…"

Shizune was stunned for a moment, but quickly nodded honestly.

"Indeed, there's nothing wrong, and it can even be said to be very good. Her own physical activity and chakra activity are somewhat unbelievable, but her mental state isn't very good."

Her body was naturally fine. After all, with the power of White Zetsu injected, could her body be bad?

At most, the compatibility was too high, causing some incomprehensible discomfort, and if she wasn't careful, she could easily become a 'Senju Tree Man'.

But Hidezawa had also solved these problems. The power of Yin Release was even more useful than he had imagined.

It was just that her mental state was a bit elusive. Besides a 'mid-life crisis' and 'woman thing', there didn't seem to be any good explanations.

"Is that so?"

Yuugao pondered for a moment and could only nod, while Hidezawa simply stood up and patted the dust off his butt.

"You guys rest, I'll go take a look around myself. Teacher Tsunade has been asking me all sorts of nonsense questions, and I haven't had a chance to look around yet."

"Take a look around?"
