The giant black tree that suddenly grew out stood in the middle of the field, violently blocking the terrifying flames.
This scene stunned everyone. For a moment, they lost the ability to speak.
After a long time, there were bursts of screams. People really did not know how to express the shock in their hearts.
"This is Mokuton?"
"This is the Mokuton that Uzumaki Naruto used? Isn't he a descendant of Uzumaki? How could he awaken Mokuton's blood inheritance"
"This is undoubtedly Mokuton's technique. Moreover, this strange black tree is clearly the style of that person..."
The entire Konohagakure seemed as if it was about to explode, and they cried out in unison, as if the earth was about to shatter.
At this moment, even the experts and nobles on the viewing platform couldn't sit still.
"Mokuton, Naruto actually mastered Mokuton!"
"More importantly, this Mokuton! Doesn't this mean that Naruto can only learn this kind of Mokuton from that person!"
"So that's how it is. This is Naruto's trump card!"
"Amazing. Even if Naruto immediately used Bijuu's outer clothing, I wouldn't be too surprised, but it's actually Mokuton..."
These people more or less had some secret information. They clearly knew that in theory, Naruto had no way of obtaining Mokuton's blood inheritance.
Even if he really wanted to awaken, he should be a descendant of Senju Hashirama, or someone like Yamato who possessed Hashirama's genes should awaken!
Minato was stunned as he stared at this extremely unique giant black tree.
"Mokuton's blood inheritance..." Minato was confused. When did Naruto have Mokuton as a blood descendant? Senju... Xu, what did he teach Naruto? How did he do it?
This scene that went against common sense made Minato dumbfounded.
Many people asked Minato.
However, Minato could only smile bitterly and did not answer because he did not know what was going on.
"Minato, when did this happen?" Jiraiya asked in surprise.
Minato: "... It has been a while. "
"Minato, why does Naruto have Mokuton? That is clearly my grandfather's blood inheritance!" Tsunade opened her mouth wide, unable to hide the shock and complexity in her heart.
Should she be happy? Maybe she should be happy.
Minato said, "Well, since it has come to this, there is nothing to hide. The Sensei of Naruto is actually the one you think of. All these years, Naruto has been following that one to cultivate."
Everyone had a look of sudden realization on their faces, and their hearts were filled with excitement.
The significance of Mokuton to Konoha was extraordinary.
The son of Yondaime, the descendant of Uzumaki, the nine-tailed Jinchuriki, actually controlled Mokuton...
The political impact was needless to say.
To be more practical, Naruto had mastered Mokuton, so didn't that mean he had the ability to easily suppress Bijuu?
The control of the Nine-tailed, the strongest Bijuu, would definitely surpass ordinary people. He might become the first Nine-tailed Jinchuriki in history who could perfectly control the Nine-tailed!
Even Uzumaki Minato and Uzumaki Kushina had relied on powerful sealing techniques to suppress the Nine-tailed, so they probably couldn't compare to Uzumaki Naruto!
The future is promising!
"Speaking of which, does Naruto have Senju's... bloodline? Otherwise, why would he randomly awaken Mokuton..."
"Kushina is a pure Uzumaki Clan who came to the village from the Kingdom of Maelstrom. There won't be a problem. That means... Yondaime has the hidden Mokuton bloodline? Does Yondaime have a bloodline connection with the first generation?"
Some people whispered and looked at Yondaime with strange eyes, full of hesitation.
Because of various reasons, the powerful Senju clan had long been disbanded during the second generation, turning into pieces and disappearing in the village.
Even Tsunade, the granddaughter of the first generation, never said that her surname was Senju.
Well, it is not impossible to leave some blood behind. Could it be that Lord Yondaime, whose surname is Minato, is actually...
"Well, things are not what you think. Let's stop this topic." Minato covered his head, feeling a headache.
His head was a little confused.
However, although he did not know how Naruto had Mokuton's blood inheritance, it was a good thing that there was no genetic conflict or cell corrosion.
What Minato hoped to have was perfect, and not like the Danzo of the past, brutally implanting Hashirama's cells into his body, to achieve the effect of Mokuton.
At this time, Uzumaki was standing with his arms crossed, proudly standing at the top of the twenty-meter-tall tree, looking down at the small Yakumo.
The raging flames around him were comparable to the lethality and scale of grade A Fire Release ninjutsu. At this time, it seemed like a joke.
No matter how much it burned, it could not hurt this giant tree in the slightest.
On the branches that spread out, there was a large number of leaves emitting a cold light swaying in the wind, making people feel scared.
Without a doubt, if someone accidentally touched these leaves, they would be dismembered on the spot.
"It's actually Mokuton..." Yakumo was also stunned, staring at this scene in a daze.
"Originally, I planned to use it when facing Sasuke. I didn't expect you to let me use part of my strength in advance."
Naruto looked down at Yakumo and clapped his hands together. "Since that's the case, I'll let you experience my Mokuton technique."
Swish!
A large number of branches began to grow and quickly grabbed Yakumo.
The dense spread seemed to cover the entire field.
"If you are hit by my Mokuton, you will die." Naruto said. At the same time, he seemed to inadvertently glance at Sasuke.
Sasuke, who was watching the battle, naturally noticed Naruto's posture and immediately snorted.
"This bastard, he didn't forget to threaten me with this kind of thing. What a fool... But, is it Mokuton?" Sasuke was deep in thought.
He finally knew who the mysterious Sensei that Naruto had been talking about for so many years was.
He was actually on the same level as his Sensei.
However, even if he had control over Mokuton, it was absolutely impossible for him to be a match for him!
Shua, shua, shua!
Large amounts of branches spread out, and sharp leaves covered out at the same time.
Yakumo continuously created more flames, but the damage it dealt was minimal.
There was no other way. Only a ghost would know how long it would take to use Fire Release to deal with this special Mokuton.
Yakumo was helpless. Her living space was getting smaller and smaller. She would be covered by these branches sooner or later. At that time, if she did not want to die, she could only be eliminated.
She once again chose to attack Naruto.
A large number of illusions were turned into reality by him. Flames, ninja tools, lightning, and so on all rushed towards Naruto. However, after the bombardment, Naruto turned into smoke and disappeared. It was a shadow clone.
"This guy is simply the type that restrains me the most." Yakumo had a helpless expression.
Even the most skilled illusion techniques could not do anything to Naruto, and there was no way to destroy Mokuton.
"I admit defeat."
The original body of Yakumo appeared in the corner of the field, helplessly raising its hand.
Yamato entered the field, clapped his hands, and a large tree wood technique appeared. The lush tree grew all the way in front of Yakumo, blocking the black branches that were constantly extending over.
This was a battle between two types of Mokuton.
And the result was obvious. The tree that was filled with vitality and green was severely injured the moment it touched the black tree.
In terms of hardness, the difference was like heaven and earth.
"Naruto wins." Yamato's heart skipped a beat as he spoke expressionlessly.
When Naruto saw this, he immediately removed Mokuton from his body and slowly stuffed the giant black tree back into the ground.
He did not even look at Yakumo as he walked towards Sasuke.
"Sasuke, I will wait for you in the finals," Naruto said.
Sasuke sneered, "With just this move, Mokuton, you would never be able to win against me. You should think about how to release the nine tails. This way, there might be a chance."
"Hmph, let's talk about it when we fight." Naruto looked at Sasuke in surprise.
I wonder what kind of power Sasuke has grasped to actually make him use the power of the nine tails directly...
Naruto knew very well that the nine tails that were released here were actually Bijuu!
A group of ninjas rushed up and repaired the arena as fast as they could.
After the next match began, everyone still hadn't recovered from the first match.
They even lost interest in the other matches and started to discuss Naruto intensely.
In this battle, the effect of Mokuton's ability that Naruto displayed was explosive.
Even the people on the viewing platform could not help but be moved.
The next battle was very boring, making people sleepy.
The elimination rounds continued.
The seed group indeed displayed a crushing posture against the ordinary group.
Those who could enter the seed group were either geniuses or from the Ninja Clan. They naturally formed a suppression on those ordinary children who did not have outstanding talent.
"Next match, Sasuke VS - Hinata!" Yamato shouted.
Two figures walked onto the arena.
Only then did the crowd regain their interest.
"This is so annoying. They did not come to see us in the first place. After Naruto displayed Mokuton's ability, we all became foil. No one will look at us."
Shikamaru sat on the ground, holding his cheeks with one hand and looking at Sasuke and Hinata with dull eyes.
These people were here to buy soy sauce, to serve as decorations for these geniuses.
"Isn't this a good thing? I was relieved instead." Ino patted her chest and wiped the sweat from her forehead, "Are you okay, Sakura? We have all made it to the second round."
"But, the reason we can pass the first round is purely because the opponent is from the ordinary group. In the second round..."
Sakura was very worried and felt that she would be eliminated easily.
She looked at Naruto out of the corner of her eye and then looked at Sasuke.
These two people were so handsome and cool... Unfortunately, they also would not look at her directly.
Sakura was very injured. The theoretical knowledge she was best at was not worth mentioning in front of these two people. She could answer the questions she knew, Naruto could do it too.
As for strength, it was even less worth mentioning.
"Sasuke, I think you can easily defeat your opponent." Sakura said.
"You can win, but it may not be easy. Because Hinata is not weak."
A voice came from behind.
"Eh, Senior Neji? I'm sorry..."
"There's no need to apologize. As a mediocre player, you often judge geniuses with your narrow eyes. I won't blame you."
Neji also regarded Sakura as air, and his body exuded an ice-cold temperament, causing these examinees who were younger than him to be filled with awe.
Neji looked at Hinata with a pair of white eyes. "I saw it with my own eyes. Before Miss came to school, she ate thirty people's worth of food in one go. She is finally going to show her talents."
"?"
"Three, thirty people's share??"
The little friends were all stunned, their faces full of question marks.
So good at eating? Ah no, what does eating have to do with strength?
Neji did not explain, but only whispered, "For the potential and talent of the young lady, Naruto knows it better than me."
Naruto stood at the front and also heard the conversation behind him.
But he didn't turn around and just said calmly, "Ah, yes, that girl is not simple. She always watches me train secretly and likes to work hard in places where no one is around..."
Naruto looked at Hinata.
Byakugan!!
Dense blood vessels appeared around Hinata's eyes, and Byakugan suddenly opened them.
Sasuke also expressed his respect and opened the three tomoe Sharingan.
"A duel between Hitomi's techniques is really rare!"
"The blood inheritance of these two families is very strong. I am really looking forward to it!"
"What are you looking forward to? It must be that Sasuke's eyes are stronger and can evolve into Mangekyou Sharingan!"
"But Byakugan also has the potential to advance. That Hyuga Hoheto..."
"Shh, don't talk about that guy. That is the taboo of the Hyuga family!"
Everyone raised their spirits and paid close attention to this battle.
In the past few years, Byakugan had been completely suppressed by Sharingan. However, this could only be said that Sharingan was too strong, and his blood inheritance potential was too high.
It could not be said that Byakugan was too weak.
"Sasuke-kun, I never thought that I would meet you in the second round..." Hinata made a soft fist gesture.
"Sooner or later, even if you don't go against me, you will fight Naruto. No matter what, you will be eliminated by one of us." Sasuke said.
Hinata said lightly, "Is there nothing else in your eyes other than Naruto? But I want to tell you that Naruto is mine."
"?!"
"??"
"!!"
Everyone was confused.
Ordinary people could not hear the conversation, but some strong people could hear and look at the mouth shape. They were immediately confused in the wind.
"Lord Yondaime, my daughter was rude. I am sorry." Hiashi, who had no eyes, took the initiative to say.
"No, it's okay, after all, it's normal for young people..." Minato waved his hand.
It seemed that he had neglected Naruto. He didn't know when he had grasped Mokuton, but there were already girls who took the initiative to express their love?
On the side, Naruto frowned slightly, calmly facing the strange gazes, and snorted in his heart.
The meaning that Hinata expressed was not like or love!
It was purely admiration and trust. Although they both admired each other, there was a fundamental difference between the feelings of a man and a woman when they were young.
Naruto was clear about this, and Hinata himself was clear about it.
However, Sasuke's expression was as ugly as if he had eaten sh*t.
"I was really discussing this with you, but you're telling me this? Don't think that you can fool me just because you hid some of your strength."
Sasuke was a little angry.
As long as someone said that he was very close to Naruto, he would be angry.
"Looks like I have to teach you a lesson..."
Sasuke had yet to finish his sentence.
Hinata suddenly struck out with his palm.
"Eight Trigrams... False Divine Void Strike!"
