Chương 178: Chapter 178: Lies Turn into Reality

"My question is," "Where did you learn Wood Release from?!" "Wood Release?!" Wu Chen's expression changed, as if someone had discovered a little secret of his. Nick Fury was somewhat puzzled; he had thought that the Wood Release Wu Chen had just used to save people was a ninjutsu similar to Fire Release or Water Release! Seeing this, Tobirama Senju explained, "Wood Release is not an ordinary ninjutsu. It's a kekkei genkai!" "In simple terms, it's a ninjutsu that can only be used by those with inherited bloodlines." "So, I suspect that Wu Chen has the bloodline of the Senju clan!" "The Senju's bloodline?" Both Nick Fury and Wu Chen were surprised. Tobirama Senju further explained, "Senju Hashirama, the First Hokage, and Senju Tobirama, they are both members of the Senju clan." "And Tobirama's ninjutsu is Wood Release!" "It's the strongest ninjutsu!" "But unfortunately, no other members of the Senju clan have inherited Wood Release." "But I didn't expect Wu Chen to have Wood Release! And it seems he's quite adept at it..." "So, that's why you're so excited?" Nick Fury guessed roughly. Tobirama Senju nodded immediately, then looked at Wu Chen with a serious expression. When it came to telling lies, Tobirama Senju was already quite proficient. After all, he had just told a lie a moment ago. That lie was about not catching the last Dragon Ball. With the power of the Dragon Balls being so formidable, how could Wu Chen just let one slip away? So just now, Tobirama Senju had already grabbed the last Dragon Ball. It was currently in his pouch. The reason Tobirama Senju lied was simple: to provide a reasonable excuse for Leaf Village's future actions. Having already exchanged for the other seven Tailed Beasts, there would definitely be a battle between Leaf Village and the Akatsuki for the Tailed Beasts. And in this process, both sides would be able to gain enough role-playing progress. In the opportunity of the Tailed Beast battle, it wouldn't be appropriate for Leaf Village to say, "We want to check on the status of the Tailed Beast seal because Shukaku was captured," and then go check, only for the Akatsuki to show up, leading to a fight, and ultimately the Tailed Beast being taken by the Akatsuki. If this happened once or twice, it wouldn't be a big deal, but if it happened every time, others would definitely suspect, "Is Leaf Village colluding with the Akatsuki? How come every time they go, the Tailed Beast escapes and then gets captured by the Akatsuki?" But if they changed the excuse for going out, for example, searching for the Dragon Balls, and then coincidentally encountering the Akatsuki who were about to release the Tailed Beast, then engaging in a battle, and ultimately being caught off guard and having the Tailed Beast taken by the Akatsuki. Although the result was the same, the impact would be completely different. At least this way, forces like S.H.I.E.L.D. wouldn't suspect that Leaf Village was in cahoots with the Akatsuki. And at this moment, Tobirama Senju told this lie, that "Wu Chen might be a relative of the Shinobi God, Senju Hashirama," for a reason. With the upgrading of the power system, Wu Chen's strength had become comparable to that of Tobirama Senju, or even stronger. In this situation, Tobirama Senju could no longer be Wu Chen's backing. However, Wu Chen himself felt uneasy without a backing. So he wanted to find another one. And the suitable one, for now, was only Senju Hashirama. And how to establish a relationship with Senju Hashirama? The answer was simple! Wood Release, such a ninjutsu, is a kekkei genkai. Wu Chen can use Wood Release, Senju Hashirama can use Wood Release, and others can't use Wood Release! Do you think they two are related? In this situation, as long as Wu Chen makes up a little bit, he can make the lie come true and turn the lie into reality!
