5 years

The blade sliced ​​through the air, and the spinning shuriken flew out.

The kunai collided in mid-air, and the two figures crossed paths.

Momoka was constantly aware of the ninja tools on the ground around her.

Sure enough, a shuriken stuck in the ground suddenly shot towards her from a blind spot.

Yang Xiang's strength has improved rapidly in recent years, and this shuriken technique initially caused her a lot of trouble.

A thin layer of chakra covers the surface of the ninja tool, and it is easy to miss if you don't pay close attention. In addition, the suddenness of its activation will cause opponents who are not well informed to suffer a great loss.

With a swift downward slash, he knocked the sword in his hand away, then swept aside several others. Tao Hua dodged and jumped away.

The ninja tools that were knocked away did not fall back to the ground, but instead turned in the air and flew towards Momoka again.

Unlike the Uchiha clan's use of steel wires for manipulation, and unlike the chakra threads of puppeteers, it is more like Magnet Release.

She had no intention of investigating the secrets of the ninjutsu developed by her grandson, but after several sparring sessions, she found that this level of ninja tool projection could not cause her any trouble, so there must be another trick up his sleeve.

where is it?

A fierce surge of chakra emanated from above, accompanied by a deafening tiger's roar.

A giant, pale blue tiger, composed entirely of chakra, descended from the sky, pressing down on Momoka below.

"Daytime Tiger!"

A soft shout followed immediately, and it was Yang Xiang, who was hiding behind the chakra tiger.

Looking at the lifelike chakra tiger in front of her, Momoka couldn't help but be amazed.

The extreme transformations, whether it was the chakra on the surface of the sword before or the mimicry transformation now, all demonstrate Yang Xiang's progress in chakra training.

Instead of retreating, Momoka pressed forward, gathering chakra in her arms to meet the attack head-on.

The tiger-shaped chakra was dispersed, revealing two figures enveloped in chakra in the air. They clashed several times before landing on the ground.

"In a while, I won't be your match."

Tao Hua hid her slightly trembling arm behind her back and said to Yang Xiang with a smile.

Although she didn't use her most proficient genjutsu, Yang Xiang also didn't use wood release. Judging from her strength, her grandson had obviously already reached the level of a Jonin.

After a few more battles, it will truly transform.

The ninja tools scattered all over the ground flew towards the two ninja tool pouches at Yang Xiang's waist like swallows returning to their nests, each finding its own place.

"Grandma, I still have a long way to go." Yang Xiang smiled.

Five years have passed in the blink of an eye. The boy has grown up and is now as tall as his grandmother. He is strong and robust, and his black hair is braided and worn behind his back.

Besides the change in height, he has also made great progress in his skills.

First of all, the Everlasting Spring Technique has reached the thirteenth level of the Great Perfection. Even though he receives some pills as a reward for each advancement, the speed at which he has advanced is still amazing.

The Heavenly Spirit Root is terrifyingly powerful.

Secondly, Tao Hua believes that the Shurakenjutsu is actually the art of object manipulation, which was obtained from the rewards along with the Flame Manipulation Technique of the Mimic Giant Tiger.

Unfortunately, they can only add some of his fighting style, not very powerful skills.

The so-called Day Tiger is nothing more than a show of force; it's not as effective as the Rasengan.

"How is that procedure progressing?"

Yang Xiang knew what Tao Hua was asking, but he just nodded and didn't say anything more.

As he grew older, even in his own courtyard, he became increasingly cautious, knowing it wasn't time to reveal his true strength.

Wood Release: Advent of the World of Trees is the signature ninjutsu of Wood Release.

Yang Xiang was able to be released normally not long ago.

It mainly relies on his extraordinary chakra reserves and the plant affinity brought by Changchun Gong.

Since he began practicing the Evergreen Technique, the energy within his body has contained both spiritual power and chakra.

It can store energy far exceeding its own level in the dantian, and can also quickly recover by refining it through the meridians, without having to spend a lot of time meditating.

In terms of total usable energy alone, Yang Xiang is confident that he is now comparable to a tailless tailed beast.

Furthermore, the malleability of spiritual energy provides a huge boost to his chakra form transformations, allowing him to achieve ultimate form transformations with almost no training.

After acquiring the Flame Manipulation Technique, he became even more adept at creating various creatures, such as dragons, tigers, and unicorns, all by hand.

As Yang Xiang walked past her, Tao Hua couldn't help but fall into memories again.

That night she visited many elderly people. Some of them recognized her, but didn't say much, just silently tossed her a scroll.

The hazy light of the setting sun shone on the boy's back, and the thousand-handed clan emblem on the screen wall also shone.

She's been like this for the past few years, wavering in her heart.

Was Hashirama's will correct?

She had never considered this question during the previous decades of fighting, but it had become increasingly frequent in recent years.

The strongest member of the Senju clan has been gone for a long time, but the remaining members still have to live on.

Even though no one knew about Yang Xiang's situation, he still carried the hopes and attention of many people in the clan.

As the strongest among the older generation besides Mito, Momoka's residence has seen few visitors in recent years.

This is one way that the tribespeople express their attitude.

This kid is probably no less capable than Hashirama back in the day.

Tao Hua compared them in her mind. She knew that her grandson liked to keep things to himself and had never used his full strength when he sparred with her.

This is a good thing.

There is no darkness in peacetime, but once the situation becomes turbulent, all those gray and black dirty things will come out at once.

Several more children from peripheral tribes have recently gone missing.

It's obvious to anyone with eyes that, so many years after the end of World War I, the ninja world is about to descend into chaos again.

Yang Xiang placed a bag of ninja tools on the table; it contained her grandmother's ninja tools.

One of the advantages of the Art of Object Manipulation is that you don't have to pick things up manually.

This is very convenient for ninjas who like to carelessly discard their tools.

The wall in Yang Xiang's house is very unique, with a large thousand-handed clan emblem and a photo of several people.

Yang Xiang could recognize Hashirama and Tobirama when they were young, as well as his grandmother.

Senju Momoka is a powerful ninja, and decisiveness is her style. Yang Xiang has witnessed her struggles over the past few years.

The spiritual energy within him not only filled his body but also emboldened him.

He looked up and met the gaze of the two people in the photo.

Why can't the Hokage position be inherited?

Why can't Konoha be the Konoha of the Senju?

I see that the people in the neighboring Cloud Village are doing quite well.

Besides, isn't the title of Daimyo (dynasty) also hereditary?

If we go a step further, can't the daimyo be Senju?

Yang Xiang has his own plans for the village.

He believed that the Fourth Hokage should be a member of the Senju clan.

And he was confident that he had the power to influence this decision.

All it takes is a trial, and World War II would be a good opportunity.

He himself wasn't really interested in the Hokage position, but that didn't matter.

He also has a top candidate for puppeteer.
