Chapter 460: Methods to Revitalize the Family

When Orochimaru heard what Nawaki said, a hint of warmth appeared in his eyes. He wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say it.

At this moment, Sheng Shu seemed to remember something and asked curiously:

"Teacher Orochimaru, is there something that brings you back to Konoha this time?"

After hearing what Rope Tree said, Orochimaru was silent for a long time. Just when Rope Tree was a little uneasy, he said in a hoarse voice:

"Seishu-kun, I came back to Konoha this time to do some things, but those things are still inferior to yours."

After hearing what Orochimaru said, Nawaki became even more uneasy and asked:

"Teacher Orochimaru, what do you mean?"

However, facing Rope Tree's question, Orochimaru did not answer, but stared at him closely and asked:

"Mr. Rope Tree, I have established many bases outside the Fire Country. How about you come with me to visit them?"

After hearing what Orochimaru said, a look of struggle appeared on Rope Tree's face, but he finally shook his head and responded:

"Forget it, Orochimaru-sensei. I once caused my sister a lot of worry because of my injury. If I follow you out again, I don't know how worried my sister will be."

Hearing what Rope Tree said, Orochimaru's snake-like pupils narrowed slightly, and then said:

"Nawaki-kun, the reason why I asked you to visit my base is because one of my experiments is about to be completed. It is an experiment on awakening Wood Release. If you come with me, I can help you awaken Wood Release."

Orochimaru naturally knew how to control Nawaki, knowing that Nawaki admired the first Hokage, Hashirama Senju, very much. Faced with the temptation of awakening and the Wood Release that Hashirama Senju was good at, it was absolutely impossible for him to refuse his proposal.

After hearing what Orochimaru said, Rope Tree's eyes lit up, and he asked eagerly:

"Teacher Orochimaru, you have already researched a method to awaken Wood Release? Is this true?"

If someone else had said these words to him, Sheng Shu would have simply sneered and would never have believed what he said.

What is Wood Release?

Wood Release is the signature skill of his great-grandfather, the first Hokage, Senju Hashirama. He is the only one in the entire ninja world who has awakened it, and even in the entire Senju clan, there is no other person who can awaken it. How could it be possible for him to research a method to awaken Wood Release so easily?

However, if this person is Orochimaru, Nawaki is still willing to believe it.

Because in his eyes, Orochimaru is a genius, a genius who surpasses his sister, Jiraiya and the Third Hokage. The only person who can be on par with Orochimaru is his talented second grandfather, Tobirama Senju.

That's why Ropeki was so surprised when he heard Orochimaru's words.

After hearing what Rope Tree said, Orochimaru just nodded and continued:

"During that experiment, a child has awakened Wood Release and is now working under Tsunade. However, perhaps because that child does not have the blood of the Senju clan, the power of the Wood Release he uses is somewhat weak and cannot be compared with that of the first Hokage."

At this point, Orochimaru looked straight at Nawaseki and continued:

"Later, I optimized the experiment and reduced its mortality rate to the lowest. I believe that if Rope Tree-kun could participate in that experiment, he would not only be able to successfully awaken Wood Release, but also the power of Wood Release would be comparable to that of your great-grandfather."

Orochimaru did not deceive Nawaki. After he learned about the Wood Release ninja named Yamato who was under Shimura Danzo's command, he optimized the experiment of that year, which not only increased the success rate but also reduced the mortality rate a lot.

However, due to the lack of experimental consumables and the fact that he focused most of his energy on developing forbidden techniques - Living Corpse Reincarnation and Impure World Reincarnation, the experiment was shelved.

As long as Shengshu goes back with him, after he figures out the secret of Shengshu's resurrection, he will conduct the experiment on Shengshu as compensation and ensure his life safety.

However, when Orochimaru looked at Nawase with some urgency, Nawase's expression changed several times, but in the end he still shook his head with difficulty and said:

"I'm sorry, Mr. Orochimaru. Although I'm tempted, I can't do this."

At this point, Nawaki's expression became serious, and he continued:

"Teacher Orochimaru, you may also know the current situation of the Senju clan. The Senju clan is almost finished. Among the direct descendants of the Senju clan, only my sister and I are left.

Moreover, my sister has married my brother-in-law, so I am the only descendant of the Senju clan and have a very important responsibility. If I follow you and betray Konoha Village to pursue that Wood Release, then our Senju clan will really be finished. Wood Release is important, but the inheritance of the Senju clan is more important. "

In fact, in addition to this reason, what Rope Tree did not tell Orochimaru was that he already had a path arranged for him by his brother-in-law Uchiha Qiushan, which was to practice the Lightning Release Armor hard and practice it to the highest level as soon as possible.

When that time comes, he will be able to rely on the excellent defensive power of the Lightning Release Armor to go to the Wet Bone Forest to practice the unique Sage Mode there. If he is lucky, he will be able to activate the Wood Release of the Senju Clan.

However, this path concerns the secrets of his sister and brother-in-law. Although Orochimaru is his teacher, he will not be foolish enough to tell all of this to others.

When Orochimaru heard what Rope Tree said, an inexplicable look flashed in his eyes. After hesitating for a moment, he spoke in a low and hoarse voice:

"Kouki-kun, this is the same Wood Release as the first Hokage. If you get Wood Release, I believe you can use it to make the Senju clan flourish and be as good as Hashirama Senju."

This time, Rope Tree seemed to have made up his mind. After hearing what Orochimaru said, he shook his head and said:

"Teacher Orochimaru, in fact, we are all wrong. My brother-in-law once told me something that I think is very true. In a ninja world like ours with a very high mortality rate, if you want to revive a family, it is not about having a top master appear and bring the family to a peak.

Instead, we have to find ways to increase the number of our clan members. For example, in our Senju clan, I am the only male now. If I die again, the Senju clan will be really finished.

Therefore, my main task now is to grow up safely, get married and have children. "
