"Wood Release: Advent of the Tree World!"
Under Lu Renjia's expectant gaze, the ground in front of him trembled slightly.
Then, a small sapling sprouted from the ground.
The sapling looked so fragile, with a thin stem and only a few leaves.
Swaying gently in the breeze, it looked as if it might be blown over at any moment.
A big question mark appeared above Lu Renjia's head, and the next moment his whole body turned pale.
"Pfft, damn it, this isn't even as good as Yamato!"
Damn it, at least Yamato's Wood Release can be used to build houses and create greenery.
What can you do with this little sapling? Even if you use it to create a green belt, people will think it's too small.
"System, what's going on? I clearly have at least two kilocalories of chakra after fusing with Hashirama's cells?"
"Why is your Wood Release technique only at this level?!"
[Ding! Host, you don't actually think Wood Release doesn't require hand seals, do you? The reason Hashirama Senju could summon whatever he wanted with a simple clap of his hands was simply because his Wood Release had already reached its pinnacle.]
Having chakra isn't enough; you also need to understand how chakra circulates.
Lu Renjia was speechless. Was it just a fluke that he could suddenly conjure up Wood Release, or was it pure luck?
However, Wood Release ninjutsu is actually not that difficult to obtain.
Even if you take away the Wood Release ninjutsu, you can't use it without the Wood Release bloodline limit.
The Senju clan has long since declined in Konoha Village.
Aside from Tsunade, there were no other Senju clan ninjas or ordinary people on the surface.
Some say that Hiruzen Sarutobi sent members of the Senju clan to the battlefield in order to consolidate the Sarutobi clan's position.
Some say that the Senju clan voluntarily gave up the Senju name in order to fully integrate into Konoha.
No, all of this is nonsense. What does the survival of the Senju clan have to do with Lu Renjia?
However, this rendered the Wood Release ninjutsu useless.
Almost any Konoha ninja could borrow it if they wanted.
Because Konoha also wants to produce another powerful Wood Release ninja.
"I'm a Jonin, and a Jonin who has carried out a lot of missions. I'm also Minato Namikaze's classmate. I should be able to borrow it!"
Lu Renjia decided that even if he couldn't get the phone, he would still snatch it.
If other transmigrators knew that the Wood Release he obtained was not as good as Yamato's, they would laugh themselves to death!
Without hesitation, Lu Renjia decided to act, as he didn't want his Wood Release technique to be inferior to Yamato's.
However, his Observation Haki suddenly detected someone approaching his house.
Go back inside the house immediately and see who is looking for him.
A moment later, a masked, white-haired member of the secret service appeared and banged on the door.
Lu Renjia recognized the man immediately by looking at his build and hair color.
"Kakashi? What does he want with me?!"
So he opened the door, looked at Kakashi in front of him, and wondered what he was up to.
Kakashi saw Lu Renjia and said in a hoarse voice, "Jonin Lu, the Fourth Hokage requests your presence!"
Upon hearing this, Lu Renjia was taken aback.
Why does Minato Namikaze want to talk to me?
Could it be that Orochimaru exposed our deal?
These ideas were rejected by Lu Renjia as soon as they came to mind.
Orochimaru isn't that stupid, and he doesn't have the time.
He's probably still figuring out how Lu Renjia traded his lifespan to him.
However, considering that Kushina was nearing the end of her labor, Minato Namikaze probably wanted him to help.
He nodded and followed Kakashi to the Hokage Building.
As Minato Namikaze's direct subordinate in the Anbu, Kakashi was naturally qualified to bring Lu Renjia directly to meet the Hokage.
Lu Renjia was also curious whether Minato Namikaze was as sunny and cheerful as he was in the anime.
"Lord Hokage, the person has been brought here."
From the Hokage's office came Minato Namikaze's voice: "Let him in."
Lu Renjia pushed open the door and went straight in.
Looking at Minato Namikaze, who was buried in piles of documents, his lips twitched.
Lu Renjia truly didn't understand why those people were so obsessed with the position of Hokage.
Is it for that little bit of power that they're willing to do these thankless tasks?
Minato Namikaze looked at Lu Renjia, squeezed out of the documents, and smiled, "Lu-kun, it's been a long time."
"Lord Hokage, it has indeed been a long time."
Lu Renjia still had to give him face, after all, he had come to the Hokage's office with a purpose.
Minato Namikaze gave a wry smile and said, "There are only the two of us here, so just call me Minato. Calling me Hokage-sama sounds too formal!"
"Alright then. Minato, why did you call me here? I'm currently on vacation, and I don't want to go on any missions!"
Lu Renjia also did not have the habit of calling others "sir".
After all, as a 21st-century person, the word "adult" is only used to describe adults, not to remind oneself that others are superior.
Upon hearing this, Minato Namikaze smiled wryly and said, "Lu-kun, I might really have to trouble you with something."
"The Hokage is too busy with her work. If you don't have anything to do, could you go and see her?"
“She shouldn’t wander around the village during this time, because we’re afraid she’ll get bored being alone.”
Minato's idea was actually born of necessity.
Because most of the ninjas of his generation died on the battlefield.
Besides Lu Renjia, there were also Uchiha Fugaku and Uchiha Mikoto.
However, the Hokage lineage and the Uchiha clan are at odds, and even if Minato Namikaze wanted to change things, it would take time.
Furthermore, the Hokage and other clan leaders would not agree to having someone from the Uchiha clan chat with the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki.
Therefore, Minato Namikaze could only place his hopes on Lu Renjia, a lucky fellow ninja from the same period.
After thinking for a moment, Lu Renjia said, "This isn't a good idea. After all, my vacation is hard-earned, you see..."
"Go ahead and tell me. I'll try my best to do whatever it's within my power..."
Minato Namikaze really went all out to keep Kushina from getting bored.
But that's exactly what Lu Renjia wanted. After all, he was still missing an opportunity to ask Minato Namikaze for Wood Release ninjutsu.
"Okay, but I'll only go and chat with her for half an hour each day at most."
Lu Renjia was speechless. Minato Namikaze was really bold, actually letting a grown man like him accompany his wife.
"I do have something to ask of you. I need to borrow some Wood Release ninjutsu. Is that too much to ask?"
Minato Namikaze had initially thought Lu Renjia would ask for an exorbitant price, but it turned out to be just a Wood Release ninjutsu.
Almost every Jonin has borrowed Wood Release ninjutsu, since everyone wants to wait for the First Hokage's world-destroying Wood Release.
Unfortunately, so many years have passed in the ninja world, and apart from the First Hokage, no other Wood Release ninjutsu has ever appeared.
"Okay, I'll have Kakashi deliver it to you later. If there's nothing else, I have to get back to work."
Minato Namikaze looked miserable. Even though he was the fastest ninja in the world, he couldn't handle so many documents.
Lu Renjia nodded and did not stay at the Hokage's office to continue his work.
After leaving, Minato Namikaze found a scroll of Wood Release ninjutsu and let Kakashi in.
"Send the scroll to Lu Jun and see what he plans to do, then report back to me."
"Yes, Lord Hokage."
Kakashi answered in his hoarse voice, a basic quality of him as an Anbu member.
Seeing Kakashi leave, Minato Namikaze's instincts told him that Lu Renjia was not simple, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it.
No sooner had Lu Renjia arrived home than Kakashi delivered the scroll of Wood Release ninjutsu to him.
After that scroll, ignoring Kakashi's surveillance, he slowly began to flip through it.
Although he did nothing, he had already memorized the chakra circulation route.
Kakashi didn't find anything amiss, and then went back to report to Minato Namikaze.
