The Shimada Family's Ninja Journey

After the two clans agreed on the time for the battle, the following people were responsible for the next work. What Hanzo and Madara needed to do was to increase their strength.

When it comes to their situation, every increase in strength may overturn the entire battle situation.

Of course, they are not the only ones who have such an idea. The Senju Clan's headquarters, Senju Hashirama, is also intensively developing a more advanced Wood Release.

As for the specific strategic planning of the family, Hashirama left it all to Tobirama and a group of elders, with the assistance of Nara Shikamoto.

However, regarding the current situation faced by the Thousand Hands clan, it is a typical skillful woman who cannot make a meal without rice. There is no one in the country of fire who can intervene in the war between the three clans.

The plan of Tobirama and others can only be to improve the poor winning rate of the Senju clan as much as possible. Instead of counting on these consolation measures, it is better to hope for an explosive breakthrough in Hashirama's strength.

"Ninjutsu like Madara's Susanoo is indeed very powerful in combat. Maybe I can try to develop a similar ninjutsu?"

In the personal training ground of the leader of the Senju Clan, Hashirama sat cross-legged on the ground and thought to himself.

The blood succession limit of Wood Release was completely pioneered by Hashirama himself, of course, Ashura Otsutsuki does not count.

There is no record of this blood inheritance limit within the Senju clan. How to develop it depends entirely on Hashirama's own ideas.

Hashirama himself is obviously a genius ninja. Since Mu Dun's awakening, his development of Mu Dun has involved all aspects.

However, so far, Hashirama's development of Wood Release has gradually fallen into a bottleneck.

Whether it's trapping people, consuming them, defending or attacking, Hashirama can't think of any way to make progress for the time being.

Therefore, in recent years, most of his energy has been spent on improving the tenacity and endlessness of Wood Release. In short, it is the change in the nature of Wood Release.

But now, he suddenly thought of Madara's Susanoo, the mighty and powerful chakra giant.

"The Mangekyo Sharingan uses pure chakra to form Susanoo... I can't do this, but it's not too difficult to use Wood Release to form a giant... Well, at least it shouldn't have the same essence as the Wood Dragon Jutsu.

the difference."

Hashirama's thoughts are getting clearer and clearer.

After thinking for a while, his hands began to form the Mudun Mudra.

I saw a thick and tall giant tree rising from the spot.

After a moment, the shape of an arm emerged from the tree trunk. This was not a challenge to Hashirama. After all, the Wooden Release Technique of Hotai is to raise a hand-shaped wood from the ground.

"Next is the body...and the head..."

Hashirama manipulated the wooden release to carve his own Gundam bit by bit.

To be honest, after studying Wood Release for so many years, Hashirama has reached a certain level whether it is changes in nature or form.

The ever-changing forms of Mu Dun in his hands are proof. You must know that this is different from the ordinary Five Elements Escape Technique. There are mature ninjutsu left by the predecessors as a reference. Everything about Mu Dun is done step by step by himself.

Until now.

Therefore, the seemingly powerful and terrifying Wood Gundam was carved in Hashirama's hands in only three days.

Looking at the green and environmentally friendly Gundam that is twenty meters high in front of him, Hashirama is still very happy. Twenty meters is the limit of his current freedom of control. Hashirama has tried it before. If the wooden man is bigger, he will

I instinctively felt a sense of heaviness.

But he was already satisfied with the size. He compared it and found that this Bokujin was taller than Madara's Susanoo and Hanzo's.

Moreover, as he deepens his research on Mudun, the wooden man can continue to grow in size.

However, when he began to try to input chakra and control the Gundam, Hashirama couldn't help but fall into silence...

He overlooked one thing.

The ability of a normal person's body to move freely depends on the hardness of the bones and the flexibility of the joints.

Madara's Susanoo is completely made of chakra, so the Susanoo's arms, shoulders, wrists, etc. can perfectly simulate the joints of a normal person without any difficulty.

But... wood is not so convenient.

Especially based on Hashirama's research on the changes in the properties of wood escape, its sturdiness and toughness are terrifying.

In other words... this Gundam is like a statue. It looks like it has arms and legs, but in fact it can't move at all...

This is very embarrassing. He is Senju Hashirama, not Michelangelo. What he needs is the combat power of this Gundam, not something that looks good.

"Maybe letting the joints turn into vines can make it move." Hashirama thought hard, but then his face fell.

The vines are able to move, but in Madarasuzu's state, he can cut off these vines with one sword, which makes no sense.

Hashirama was very distressed.

In this regard, the Wood Dragon Technique cannot help him at all.

After all, the movement of the dragon form does not require joints at all.

"There must be some way."

Hashirama stretched out his hand and slowly touched his "wood carving" that took three days to make, and fell into deep thought.

…

Of course, Hashirama was not the only one who was also stuck in a bottleneck. Hanzo also encountered difficulties in developing the Black Dragon Pattern.

In the past few months, his length has extended to nineteen meters.

Its offensive and defensive capabilities vary with its length. If it reaches nineteen meters, in Hanzo's view, it already has the strength to withstand the third stage of Susanoo head-on.

But...that's where it ends.

Since reaching this point, Hanzo's development has stalled.

No matter how hard he tried, he never grew even a little bit.

It seems that this is the limit of the black dragon pattern.

But Hanzo knew clearly that this was not the case.

At least in his feeling, the Black Dragon Pattern still has great potential that can be developed.

As for his own problem, Hanzo also had some vague guesses.

Just like the Mangekyō Sharingan to the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan.

Although both are Mangekyō Sharingan, their eye power is in the sky and in the earth.

Hanzo has obviously reached this point. Next, what the Black Dragon Mark needs is no longer a quantitative change, but a qualitative change.

It's like emerging from a cocoon and becoming a butterfly.

But so far, he has no clue.

For this reason, Hanzo even suspended his research on the changes in the nature of water escape. In addition to continuing to explore the limits of his blood inheritance, he also plunged into the family's huge secret treasure.

This is the advantage of a strong man with a family over a lone ranger.

Compared with working behind closed doors, having the experience of predecessors as a reference will obviously save you a lot of detours.

Hanzo is confident but not arrogant. He does not think that his development of the black dragon pattern makes him the strongest in the history of the Shimada clan.

And in the family's secret collection, these scrolls about the black dragon pattern also illustrate this point.

Looking at the twenty-some scrolls that he had sorted out in various directions on the table, Hanzo's eyes flashed with anticipation.
