Once I establish a ninja village in the Land of Rice Fields, I'll use advanced instruments to test and confirm if there's been a genetic mutation.
"Let's try Wood Release first. I remember the Wood Release hand signs are simple, but the Chakra manipulation is quite complex."
Tsukimi Rin had previously used his Sharingan to record the Chakra flow of Danzo's subordinates when they used Wood Release, and later he even found Wood Release Ninjutsu scrolls in Danzo's base.
"Wood Release: Silent Killing Binding Technique!" Tsukimi Rin clapped his hands together, and his Wood Release Chakra combined with a portion of Yang Release Chakra, then several wooden stakes grew directly from Tsukimi Rin's arms.
These wooden stakes extended rapidly, directly crushing and tearing apart a giant seaside rock. As the Chakra supply stopped, the wooden stakes also broke off from the front of his arms.
"That's interesting. Wood Release seems to focus more on external control. If one's Chakra control is strong enough, directly creating wooden houses isn't impossible, somewhat similar to Earth Release."
This time, Tsukimi Rin did not form hand signs, only channeling the Wood Release Chakra surging from his back into the ground, and then a large patch of trees grew on the beach.
These Wood Release trees, grown from underground Roots, can survive for a long time, and their hardness has reached a level surpassing ordinary steel. There is also residual Chakra within the tree bodies, making them excellent raw materials for forging Exploding Tags and scrolls.
Wood Release has the property of absorbing Chakra, inherently capable of suppressing Tailed Beasts. If combined with Sealing Technique, it achieves absolute suppression.
Tsukimi Rin then used all the Wood Release Ninjutsu he knew, though he did not use the few that were particularly large and consumed a lot of Chakra.
Currently, it seems that Wood Release can not only perform the techniques from the original work but also allow him to develop suitable Wood Release Ninjutsu himself. However, it still requires time for development.
After dozens of uses of Wood Release Ninjutsu of varying intensity, the Wood Release Chakra in the stigmata on Tsukimi Rin's back was nearly depleted, as there were only so many cells synthesizing Wood Release Chakra.
However, due to the strong Devour and regenerative capabilities of the mutated cells, as long as there is sufficient nutrient supply, they can almost continuously produce Wood Release Chakra.
Without using high-energy nutrient fluid, in just half an hour, the Wood Release Chakra had returned to its original amount, but the Sage Art Chakra was also almost fully accumulated.
Ling uses Sage Art Chakra to nourish his body and soul, but because he is not yet a Sage Body, he can only absorb a limited amount of Sage Art Chakra.
Once it exceeds Tsukimi Rin's control, it must be used. Fortunately, even accounting for the natural dissipation time of Sage Art Chakra, it would still take two or three days for the Sage Art Chakra in Tsukimi Rin's body to reach its limit.
"Since it's fully accumulated, let's try Sage Art Wood Release. Let's go for the most shocking True Several Thousand Hands."
Tsukimi Rin fully controlled the Sage Art Chakra, and Sage markings even appeared on Tsukimi Rin's back. After transforming the Sage Art Chakra into the Wood Release attribute, Tsukimi Rin began to unleash his ultimate technique.
"Sage Art: Wood Release: True Several Thousand Hands!" On the beach, the trees previously created with Wood Release rapidly grew and extended, quickly rising over two hundred meters high.
Then Tsukimi Rin found it difficult to continue. True Several Thousand Hands requires too much Chakra; even Hashirama could only use it once per battle.
"Then, Sage Art: Wood Release: One Hundred-Type Guanyin!" Tsukimi Rin controlled the Wood Release to transform into a shorter, more slender One Hundred-Armed Guanyin statue. However, even sitting, the One Hundred-Type Guanyin was over two hundred and fifty meters tall, comparable in height to some complete Susanoo.
Tsukimi Rin stood on the lotus crown of the One Hundred-Type Guanyin, controlling the hundreds of two-hundred-meter-long Wood Release arms behind him to strike at a small mountain.
In just a moment, the small mountain vanished. As the smoke cleared, only numerous handprints were left, while the One Hundred-Type Guanyin remained completely intact.
"Holy cow, Sage Art Wood Release is amazing! Coupled with its Chakra absorption ability, I can even catch Tailed Beast Balls bare-handed. From now on, I'm a guy who can pilot a Gundam!"
Tsukimi Rin was full of vigor, continuing to control the One Hundred-Type Guanyin to rampage on the island. With constant tremors, the island was also shattered by Tsukimi Rin, its average height directly dropping by five meters.
Until the Sage Art Chakra was exhausted, the One Hundred-Type Guanyin statue also naturally contracted, returning to its original tree form. The island became lush and green, but the trees had already been completely replaced.
"Wood Release should be able to stimulate the growth of crops, right? Like fruit trees and rice?"
Tsukimi Rin didn't know if it could. Senju Hashirama hadn't clearly stated it in his scrolls, so Tsukimi Rin decided to try it himself. Practice is the sole criterion for testing truth.
He pulled an orange from his ninja tool pouch, ate the pulp in a few bites, then spit the seeds onto the ground. Subsequently, Wood Release Chakra combined with Yang Release Chakra flowed into them.
The citrus seeds on the ground rapidly sprouted and rooted, then the branches and Roots continuously grew larger, quickly becoming a tall citrus tree.
The stimulation was successful, but it wasn't the kind of stimulation Tsukimi Rin wanted. No matter how hard Tsukimi Rin tried, the citrus tree only grew taller and didn't bear fruit.
Although it grew, it didn't flower or bear fruit. No wonder Hashirama didn't mention anything about being able to stimulate fruit trees.
However, as a scientist, Tsukimi Rin knew that trees needed appropriate temperature and humidity to flower. The humidity was suitable now, but flowering seemed to require the warm spring of April or May.
And he was on an island in the northern Taki no Kuni, where the climate was cold, and there seemed to be a cold current nearby. The temperature probably couldn't meet the conditions for citrus trees to flower.
Although he could make citrus trees grow and sprout quickly, it seemed he couldn't easily make them flower and bear fruit.
"I remember Hashirama used Wood Release: Deep Forest Emergence, didn't he? How did those flowers bloom?"
Tsukimi Rin didn't know the Deep Forest Emergence technique, but to confirm his hypothesis, he just needed to test it on a tree that had already borne fruit but was not yet ripe.
Currently, he had no experimental conditions. All the vegetation on the island had been replaced by him, so he couldn't find a suitable tree. He would have to wait until he went to the Land of Rice Fields.
After using Wood Release so many times, Tsukimi Rin had a sufficient understanding of the nature of Wood Release Chakra, and he had also grasped the feeling of synthesizing Wood Release Chakra himself.
No sooner said than done, these Wood Release Chakra were ultimately obtained through a cheat, so synthesizing them himself and activating his Bloodline Limit was the true path.
Tsukimi Rin sat cross-legged on the only remaining rock by the sea, spreading his hands open, condensing two balls of Chakra. Then, his left hand's nature transformed into Earth Release Chakra, and his right hand's into Water Release Chakra.
A yellow and a blue light appeared in his hands. Tsukimi Rin put himself in a state of no distractions, then slowly brought the two balls of Chakra closer.
Initially, nothing happened; it was just a simple mixing of the two Chakra balls. Then Tsukimi Rin began to grasp the feeling he had when using Wood Release before.
That vibrant, all-encompassing energy, the process of a seed from sprouting to vigorous growth—then a special sensation was born.
