Although he was hit in the head, Danzo did not scold Zhang because of this. On the contrary, he looked pleased.
As Konoha's senior advisor, Danzo knew very well that Zhang was the son of the Fourth Hokage, not the son of Tsunade as the rumors said.
And even if he was Tsunade's son, would he be able to use the Wood Release?
That might not be the case!
When Konoha was first established, the Senju clan was famous for its strong vitality and huge chakra reserve. They were known as the "Clan with Thousand Skills", and were also among the top clans of Konoha.
However, only the First Hokage Senju Hashirama had the Wood Release. After his death, let alone having the Wood Release, the other Senju clansmen didn't even have the same amount of chakra or vitality as Hashirama.
After the Second Hokage Senju Tobirama died, the Senju clan that did not produce any outstanding talents gradually declined. At this time, everyone understood that Senju Hashirama was able to use the Wood Release not because he was born in the Senju clan, but because he was Senju Hashirama!
He was the God of Shinobi with the body of an immortal!
Just like that, the tale about Hashirama and his Wood Release was passed down through generations like a myth.
This situation continued until Orochimaru appeared.
In the Third War, Orochimaru, who had witnessed too many deaths, had the idea of eternal life, so he turned his attention to the God of Shinobi himself.
Danzo was also a person who coveted Senju Hashirama's power, so the two of them clicked together and began to study and experiment on Hashirama's corpse.
However, after some research, they regretfully discovered that the Hashirama's cells were very overbearing. Once transplanted, they would have a very serious rejection reaction to the experimental subject, causing the death of the subject.
After failing too many times, the two could only choose a relatively safe method, which was to dilute the cells into the solution and conduct a fusion experiment on the children who were in their rapid growth period.
Orochimaru found a total of sixty children and had them ingest the cell-containing solution. He planned to use this method to make them inherit Hashirama's Bloodline Limit, but the result was very unsatisfactory.
Among the sixty children, fifty-nine of them died one after another. Although the remaining ones survived and inherited Hashirama's cells and abilities, whether it was chakra or self-healing ability, they were far inferior to Hashirama.
What Orochimaru wanted was a body that could live forever. Such an experiment was of course a failure, so he abandoned this failed product without any reluctance, and then looked for another way for eternal life.
And this failed product was Yamato.
Unlike Orochimaru, Danzo's goal was not eternal life, but to become a great Ninja that surpassed the previous Hokages, so he brought Yamato back from Orochimaru's abandoned laboratory and carefully taught him many Wood Release ninjutsu left by the First Hokage.
Danzo believed that when he became Hokage in the future, Yamato, this child who knew how to use Wood Release, would definitely be of great use.
The only regret was that Yamato's Wood Release was too weak, and his chakra was also very limited. He became immediately exhausted after using a few Wood Release ninjutsu due to the lack of chakra. His chakra reserve were completely incomparable to Hashirama, whose chakra reserve was comparable to a Tailed Beast.
If the first Hokage was a towering tree, then Yamato could only be regarded as a little sapling with a bad development.
At this time, a special child appeared in Danzo's sight. This child was Zhang Miao.
Danzo had always been interested in Zhang Miao, who was carefully protected by Hiruzen, but unfortunately, he had never found a chance to make a move.
As his understanding of Zhang Miao deepened, Danzo became more and more certain that Zhang Miao was a rare talent.
That was why he was willing to give up his power as a Senior Advisor and pull Zhang Miao to his side to nurture him. The goal was to make Zhang Miao his trump card!
Zhang Miao did not disappoint him. Danzo was really satisfied by his learning ability and his talent in ninjutsu,
Now that Zhang Miao had used a Wood Release ninjutsu in front of him, Danzo suddenly thought of a possibility - the body of an immortal!
It must be known that Zhang Miao was born in the Uzumaki clan. The Uzumakis are Senjus' distant relatives, and they were also famous for their powerful vitality and huge chakra reserve!
In theory, since the Senju clan could give birth to Hashirama, then the Uzumaki clan could naturally produce another ninja with a body of an immortal!
Zhang Miao had a huge amount of chakra at a young age, and his growth was far faster than ordinary children, especially his IQ, which was difficult for many adults to compare with.
Now he even learned the Wood Release, and all of this showed that Zhang Miao was the second person to have the body of an immortal!
In Danzo's view, although Zhang Miao is now a small tree, in time, he will definitely grow into a towering tree like the First Hokage!
"I can use his power to climb to the top of Konoha. At that time, who can stop me from becoming the Hokage?"
Thinking of this, Danzo pleasingly looked at Zhang Miao. Even the place where Zhang Miao hit on his head became numb as if there were a few little insects crawling on it.
Zhang Miao didn't know what Danzo was thinking. After seeing him get hit by his stick, he suddenly frowned with a look of enjoyment.
"Has Danzo been beaten silly by me? This is a rare opportunity. Why don't I give him another one?"
Thinking of this, Zhang Miao shook the wooden stick in his hand and waved it to Danzo. "Master, lower your head. I have something good for you to see!"
Danzo: "... "
"Fuck, do you think I am stupid?"
Looking at Zhang Miao's eager expression, Danzo suddenly realized that his disciple was not only a genius but also a little devil. If he was not careful, he would be at a disadvantage.
And after such a long time of interaction, Danzo already understood that Zhang Miao was different from the children he had brought to the Root before. It was impossible to win his favor just by praising him. He had to rely on practical benefits.
Thinking of this, the corner of Danzo's mouth twitched twice, and then he showed a forced smile to Zhang Miao.
"Ryunosuke, Master is very satisfied with the results of your cultivation. Tell me what reward you want, and I will definitely satisfy you!"
"Really?" As soon as Danzo finished speaking, Zhang Miao's eyes lit up. "Anything?"
Looking at Zhang Miao's excited appearance, a smile immediately appeared on Danzo's face. At the same time, he thought to himself, "Just a little benefit is enough. As expected, you are just a child!"
Thinking of this, Danzo immediately nodded with a kind face.
"Yes, as long as you like it, I can find it for you. Tell me, what do you want?"
"Tsk... Actually, I don't have many requests." Hearing Danzo's words, Zhang Miao smacked his lips and then touched his chin.
"I like money and pretty girls the most. As for money, just give me a few million silver bills as pocket money. If it's not enough, I'll ask for more. As for pretty girls... Hmm.. Not too old, but not too young.. Maybe around 17 or 18 years old... I don't mind if they are some ordinary villagers, you can give me... Hey, Master, don't leave just yet! Are you going to give me the money or the girls first? Hey... Master, please say something!"
