Chapter 14 Prequel Mission 1: Wood Release and Sharingan

Zabuza stayed in the cabin to recuperate for the time being, and Shingon would come over once a day to give Zabuza and Shiro food, and use his chakra to make sugarcane grow.

"What is this?" Bai asked curiously after seeing Zhenyan's behavior.

"It's sugarcane. Haven't you eaten it before?" Zhenyan looked at Bai. After getting familiar with him, the little Lolita finally didn't need to look at him with wariness.

Bai shook his head. Zhenyan simply plucked one, peeled off the outer crust, and handed it to Bai: "Try it."

Bai took it, looked up at Zhenyan and said, "Thank you, brother."

Seeing Bai's well-behaved and sensible appearance, Zhenyan couldn't help but sigh: "Sister is still the best."

He also wanted a younger sister, but unfortunately Sasuke and Naruto were both younger brothers...

Shinyan pulled out another piece of sugarcane and handed it to Zabuza who was leaning against the door of the wooden house.

Zabuzan glanced at Zhenyan and did not answer. Instead, he said coldly: "Bai is a boy."

"Ah?!" Zhenyan looked at Zabuza and couldn't help but confirm, "What did you just say?"

Zabuzhan did not speak again, but Bai Que, who was eating sugar cane beside him, answered him: "Brother Zhenyan, I am not a girl."

Zhenyan subconsciously turned to Bai, his eyes reflected Bai's face that was more delicate and lovely than a doll. He couldn't help but his pupils tremble - how could such a cute little Lolita be a boy! ?

Zabuzan was at a loss for words. He looked at Managawa, especially Managawa's face and the long hair behind her head. Before he regarded Bai as a girl, shouldn't he look at himself first?

"Brother Zhenyan's hair is also very long." Bai and Zabuza thought of the same thing. He looked at his own hair and then at Zhenyan's. "It's even longer than Bai's..."

Mantra: “…………”

Zhenyan didn't want to grow long hair, but he found that his hair grew very fast, especially after he learned to use chakra, it grew even faster, just like sugarcane that had been grown in the field, it grew again after being cut.

...

Today, Zhenyan was completely shocked. On the way back carrying the sugar cane, he was still wondering if Zabuzan and Bai were joking with him... How could Bai be a boy? Bai is not a girl? !

"What is this?" Seeing Shingon carrying sugarcane, Itachi couldn't help but ask.

Shingon blinked his eyes, then slowly came back to his senses, focusing his eyes on Itachi, remembering the purpose of growing sugarcane, and immediately said, "It's sugarcane, I grew it especially for you."

"Grow it for me?"

"Yeah." Shingon nodded and looked at Itachi expectantly, "Try it first."

Uchiha Fugaku was also at home at the time. He heard the noise and came over to ask Shingen, "Where did these come from?"

"I planted it." Zhenyan said, and handed one over. "Uncle Chief, do you want to taste it?"

Uchiha Fugaku took it and looked at it in his hand: "Didn't you grow radishes before?"

"We planted radishes before, and now we're planting some sugarcane." With such a large piece of tribal land, of course a lot of things can be planted.

Although Uchiha Fugaku had never farmed before, he knew that it took time for crops to mature. The sugarcane that Shingon brought back looked long and thick, and it was obviously not something that could be grown in a short time.

"How do you grow this sugarcane?" Uchiha Fugaku continued to ask.

"Just sow the seeds and water them." Zhenyan said, and after thinking for a moment, he added, "Also, inject chakra into the sugarcane once a day."

"You said you used chakra?" Uchiha Fugaku looked at the sugarcane in his hand with a frown.

"Well, is there any problem?" Zhenyan couldn't help but feel nervous, because he thought about genetically modified foods in reality. In the ninja world, there wouldn't be any controversy about foods stimulated by chakra, right?

"How do you use it specifically?" Uchiha Fugaku asked again.

"This..." Shinon didn't know how to explain, so he simply held a piece of sugarcane and demonstrated it to Uchiha Fugaku.

Chakra was injected into the sugar cane from the mantra's hand, and after the sugar cane was separated from the soil, it actually grew another section...

Uchiha Fugaku usually doesn't show his emotions, but this time he looked very shocked. He looked at Shingon for a long time before he recovered from his shock: "How did you do that?"

"At first I just wanted to practice chakra control, and then I planted sugarcane, hoping that it would grow faster..." Zhenyan explained. He felt that something was wrong with the clan leader today. Could it be that chakra really couldn't be used to promote the growth of crops?

"Do you know what ninjutsu you are using?" Uchiha Fugaku couldn't help but ask again.

Shinon tilted his head in confusion. He was using chakra.

Uchiha Fugaku's expression was more complicated than ever before, because he could never imagine that an Uchiha clan member could actually grow Wood Release by farming? ...

If he didn't know that Managao's father was indeed a member of the Uchiha clan and had opened the Sharingan, he would have doubted Managao's life experience. Thinking of this, Uchiha Fugaku suddenly paused, because he remembered Managao's mother.

Shingon's mother was not a member of the Uchiha clan, but an amnesiac woman who was rescued from the battlefield by Shingon's father and brought back. Because her identity was unknown, the Uchiha clan did not want to take her in, but it was Shingon's father who strongly guaranteed that she would finally stay in the clan.

During the war, each family lost a lot of people. The lucky ones were able to find corpses on the battlefield, but the unlucky ones might not even leave the corpses. In such a chaotic situation, it was not uncommon for family members to be stranded outside.

It is possible that Shingo's mother was a member of the Senju tribe who escaped from her family during the war and was accidentally rescued by Shingo's father. Only this situation can explain Shingo's awakening of Wood Release...

Thinking of this, Uchiha Fugaku's expression became more serious. The village now is very different from before. The Senju clan has completely declined, otherwise no one would have noticed that even their own people had drifted to Uchiha. And since the first Hokage, no one has awakened Wood Release. Now that Shingon has awakened Wood Release, it may be a disaster rather than a blessing.

"Don't tell anyone that you know Wood Release, and don't use it again." Uchiha Fugaku suddenly warned sternly.

"What is Wood Release?" Shinon, who had never been to school, looked confused. He looked at Itachi beside him.

"Wood Release is a ninjutsu that only the first Hokage can use." Itachi explained to Shingon, "It is a blood limit unique to the Senju clan, just like the Uchiha's Sharingan."

"Ah..." Shingon suddenly realized that after all this time, he had "infringed" the copyright. Wood Release was the exclusive patent of the Senju, and he was an Uchiha, so he could only use the Sharingan. However, he hadn't opened the Sharingan yet, so he had no use for it...

If the first Hokage was still alive, it would be nice if he could get a license to use it...

Zhenyan raised his hand and rubbed his eyes. He didn't know if it was because he had been exposed to too much wind outside, but today he felt his eyes were a little itchy...

After delivering sugarcane to Itachi, Shingon learned that he had infringed on copyright and could no longer use chakra to farm. Then he went to visit Kushina and Naruto again.

This time, Kushina invited Shingen to stay for dinner, and Shingen agreed and even played with Naruto for a while.

Compared to Sasuke, Naruto is more lively and active. Whenever he sees something, he always wants to grab it. Shingon waved his hand in front of Naruto, and Naruto tried to grab it several times but failed. He babbled and seemed a little anxious, and the whisker marks on his cheeks became darker...

Shingen smiled and was about to hand his hand to Naruto, but suddenly he noticed a faint orange chakra gushing out of Naruto's body...

Shinon couldn't help but be surprised. Is the protagonist so powerful? He can use chakra before he even opens his mouth to speak?

Shingon took another careful look and realized that the chakra did not seem to be one with Naruto. Out of curiosity, he also released his own chakra and probed along the orange chakra...

In just a blink of an eye, Zhenyan found that the scene in front of him had changed. He somehow fell into a sewer with walls on both sides and a thin layer of water under his feet.

Zhenyan observed the environment and walked forward along the road under his feet. Soon he walked out of the passage. At the end of the passage was a wide space. In front of this space was a large iron door. Inside the iron door was a fox as tall as a hill...

"What a big fox!" Zhenyan couldn't help but sigh. Although he had seen the Nine-Tailed Fox once before, that was from a distance. Now the feeling of seeing it right in front of him was more real and more oppressive.

The big fox stared at Zhenyan outside the door with his scarlet eyes: "Little devil, you dare to come here!"

"Ah, the fox can talk?!" Zhenyan was surprised. He suddenly thought of the radish spirit he had grown, and guessed that the fox in front of him should also be a spirit...

"..." The chakra in Kyuubi's body was boiling, and its sharp claws stabbed at Zhenyan, but were stuck in the gap of the iron door, "Little brat, I'm going to kill you!"

The voice of Mantra was extremely familiar to the Nine-Tailed Fox. That night, such a voice suddenly broke into its mind, rushing around in its brain and disrupting its actions. It was eventually led to it being re-sealed by the Fourth Hokage, and it was sealed in half. This was a great humiliation for the Nine-Tailed Fox!

Shinyan stared at the giant fox. Maybe it was because the view was magnified, but he could see it very clearly. He could catch all the surging chakra waves and every tiny chakra flow on the Nine-Tailed Fox.

"It turns out that Naruto's chakra leaked from you." After noticing where the Nine-Tails' chakra went, Shingen asked, "Why did you give Naruto chakra?"

"I will not give chakra to humans!" Nine-Tails said angrily, "I will corrupt this brat, break the seal here, and then kill you."

"How can a fox as big as you bully a child!" Shinyan looked up at the big fox and said, "You are now half a Konoha fox. We in Konoha should promote the virtue of respecting the elderly and loving the young, not the fighting and killing."

"..." Kyuubi suddenly narrowed his eyes, "You humans have sealed me, and you still want me to respect you?"

Zhenyan looked at the big iron gate in front of him and couldn't help but think of the scene that night when Jiuwei made trouble in the village. He couldn't help but say: "If you do bad things, shouldn't you be arrested and put in jail?"

The Nine-Tailed Fox bared its cold fangs, and its nails scratched the iron door, making a hissing sound. "It was you humans who sealed me up because you wanted to use me!"

"You were arrested because you did something bad," Zhenyan said, listing the evidence. "The house you collapsed has not been rebuilt yet."

Nine-Tailed Fox was furious: "It's you humans who are trying to take advantage of me!"

The truth is: "If you don't do bad things, you won't get caught."

The Nine-Tails was furious: "You humans are hypocritical, especially the Uchiha..."

"Zhenyan..." At this moment, Zhenyan seemed to hear someone calling his name, and he listened carefully...

"The truth, the truth..."

"Who..." Just as Shingen was about to answer, the scene in front of him changed again. He returned to Naruto's room, and in front of him was Kakashi wearing a mask.

Kakashi stared at him, his eyes wider than usual, looking surprised: "Your eyes..."

"Hmm? What's wrong?" Shingon suddenly found that he could clearly see his own reflection in Kakashi's eyes. In Kakashi's eyes, his eyes were red with a small black magatama hanging inside, which was obviously the appearance of the Sharingan...

Shingon blinked, and in Kakashi's eyes he also blinked, and when he opened his eyes again, he still had the Sharingan...

Mantra: “…………”

He opened his Sharingan, and after arguing with a fox...

Shingon's first reaction was not joy, but to turn his head and look at the confused little Naruto. He was not sure whether Naruto could hear his conversation with the Nine-Tails. At this time, he was just glad that Naruto had not yet remembered.

Otherwise, rumors would spread that Uchiha Shingon opened his eyes in anger because he had an argument with a fox and lost...

Then how can he, the founder of the word-of-mouth trick, stand in front of the folks? ! !
