I just became the Pirate King, and you're telling me I also time-traveled at the same time.

Chapter 10 Fishman Karate VS Shadow Clone Technique

It wasn't a secret that Hashirama Senju was taking on disciples, but the specific list of those disciples was not leaked out.

Therefore, it was only then that the clansmen learned that Chu Yang was the clan leader's disciple.

"So far, I haven't heard of anyone successfully mastering Wood Release. Yang is the first!"

"Not only that, his Wood Release is very powerful; so many skilled members of the Uchiha clan suffered heavy losses just now."

"Yang is a genius in Wood Release! He's perfectly capable of carrying on the clan leader's Wood Release legacy!"

The group returned to their tribe after completing their mission.

News of Chu Yang's squad's ambush and subsequent counterattack against the enemy spread throughout the entire Thousand Hands Clan in an instant.

What's truly shocking isn't how many Uchiha clansmen he killed, but rather his mastery of Wood Release.

No one understands the power of Wood Release better than the Senju clan, and Chu Yang is the second clan member to master this bloodline limit, which is destined to attract the attention of the entire clan.

Not long after the news spread, Chu Yang received a summons from Hashirama Senju.

He followed the guards all the way to the clan chief's mansion.

The ever-generous Hashirama Senju didn't keep Chu Yang waiting long, and soon appeared before him. Hashirama Senju was always accompanied by his younger brother, Tobirama Senju.

That is, the Second Hokage.

With a smile, Hashirama Senju led Chu Yang to the courtyard and said to him, "Show me your Wood Release."

Chu Yang did as instructed, performing several basic techniques, all of which were ninjutsu taught by Hashirama Senju.

Watching Chu Yang manipulate the trees with ease and agility, without the slightest hesitation, Hashirama Senju revealed an appreciative look.

This glimpse into the essence of the subject is enough to demonstrate Chu Yang's talent in Wood Release.

Bloodline limits are different from ordinary ninjutsu; the difficulty and risk of training them are extremely high.

If it fails, the fusion of chakra of different attributes will leave indelible aftereffects on the ninja at the bloodline level.

Only those who are closely related by blood can minimize this risk.

Hashirama Senju hadn't held out much hope for finding a successor until Chu Yang appeared.

The domineering power of Wood Release is unmatched by most bloodline limits, and failure in training it is common.

Failure to master Wood Release will deplete the practitioner's life force to varying degrees.

Even though those of the same bloodline were exempt from most of the backlash, most of the young people chosen by Hashirama Senju spent a long time in sickbeds.

This shows how precious Chu Yang is.

Hashirama Senju had a vague feeling that no one else in his clan would be able to inherit his Wood Release.

As soon as Tobirama Senju entered, he began to scrutinize Chu Yang. Unlike Hashirama Senju's friendly demeanor, Tobirama Senju's gaze was quite aggressive.

Tobirama Senju knew very well how difficult it was to master Wood Release, let alone reach a certain level in such a short time.

He was like a machine, coldly scanning Chu Yang.

Chu Yang disliked this feeling and glared back fiercely!

Tobirama Senju was stunned...

Someone actually dared to glare at him?

Is he just a child from the same clan?

"Hahaha!" Seeing his younger brother get the short end of the stick, Hashirama Senju burst into hearty laughter. "Tobirama, that's incredibly rude of you. He's still just a child."

"Brother, he's a child, but he's not an ordinary child." Tobirama Senju lowered his gaze and said in a low voice, "He actually managed to master Wood Release to the point of being able to use its profound techniques in such a short time, surpassing even you back then."

Hashirama Senju nodded. As the creator of Wood Release, he naturally understood the meaning behind Tobirama Senju's words.

This is a gifted young man who needs proper guidance; given time, he will be able to shoulder great responsibilities.

However, Hashirama Senju was not a qualified teacher; his younger brother Tobirama was more suitable to teach young people.

Indeed, this is true. As the founder of the Ninja Academy, Tobirama Senju made tremendous contributions to the education of Konoha.

Hashirama Senju chuckled and patted Chu Yang on the shoulder. "From today onwards, you will follow Tobirama and learn ninjutsu properly to build a solid foundation. As a ninja, it's not enough to just know Wood Release."

Although Chu Yang appeared calm on the surface, he was secretly overjoyed.

Who is Tobirama Senju?

He was a rare great inventor in the history of the ninja world, and he developed countless forbidden ninjutsu techniques.

Orochimaru is no match for him. If one could learn ninjutsu from him, one would undoubtedly gain a huge improvement.

"Let's master physical skills first."

Tobirama Senju stared at Chu Yang expressionlessly, as if giving a warning, "People often talk about ninjutsu, taijutsu, and genjutsu, but in fact, taijutsu is the most important foundation for a ninja."

"No matter how talented you are in ninjutsu, if you are bad at taijutsu, you will be more likely to die on the battlefield than others."

Tobirama Senju's expression softened somewhat, and he said, "I originally wanted to test your physical skills, but considering you just returned from a mission, you should rest first and come see me first thing tomorrow morning."

This time, Chu Yang nodded obediently.

After Chu Yang left, the two brothers discussed his training again, talking until late at night.

The next morning, Chu Yang went to see Senju Tobirama and also had breakfast at the clan leader's house.

Similar to the background of the pirate Chu Yang, the Naruto Chu Yang also didn't have many relatives. So, most of the time, he either ate at the restaurant or went to other people's homes for meals, with the former being more common.

Orphans were also a criterion for Hashirama Senju to select disciples. If one of them could change his fate through Wood Release, it would be something Hashirama Senju would be happy to see.

Just like Chu Yang.

After breakfast, Tobirama Senju took Chu Yang to the training ground he used to use, which was actually the place where he often practiced in the wild when he was a child.

The training ground wasn't large, but it had everything you'd expect, including targets and dummies, and the surrounding trees were covered in marks from practice.

"Let me see your physical skills."

Having said that, Tobirama Senju formed a hand seal and summoned a shadow clone, intending to use the clone to test Chu Yang's strength.

Chu Yang did not let his guard down just because his opponent was a shadow clone. Shadow clones vary in strength, and a shadow clone at the Hokage level would definitely be stronger than him.

Before going to the Soul Palace, Chu Yang's weakness was indeed physical skills, because he devoted a lot of energy to studying Wood Release.

However, things are a different story after returning from the Palace of Souls.

The shadow clone approached Chu Yang very quickly. Senju Tobirama, who was observing Chu Yang's movements from behind, frowned slightly. Chu Yang's reaction seemed a little slow.

Just as Tobirama Senju was about to give Chu Yang a zero score, Chu Yang suddenly moved. He squatted down in a wide-open horse stance, his right fist retracted to his waist like a spring, and after exhaling lightly, he suddenly swung his fist.

The moment Chu Yang threw his punch, Senju Tobirama, who was standing some distance away, felt the surge of air currents and was startled.

【Fishman Karate - Two Thousand Tiles Straight Fist】

This punch has the power to split a mountain!

With overwhelming force, the shadow clone tried to retaliate, but was directly shattered by a single punch!
