章節 153: Chapter 153: Uchiha Akira Gains Wood Release
[One day later, you went on a date with Hinata Hyuga in Konoha, and rumors about your relationship started spreading throughout the village.]
[Three days later, the ninjas sent to the other four great villages to notify them of the Five Kage Summit had left the village.]
[Five days later, the team sent to the Land of Wind was ambushed. Only one jōnin barely managed to escape with injuries. After questioning him, you learned that their attacker was Kakuzu.]
[You increased the patrols around Konoha to track down Kakuzu, but your efforts were fruitless.]
[One month later, you and Orochimaru began researching your Dragon Transformation state. Orochimaru concluded that in this state, your cellular vitality, lifespan, and overall strength had undergone significant enhancements.]
[Six months later, Orochimaru successfully implanted more of the First Hokage's cells into you, confirming that your body was strong enough to resist the invasive nature of these cells.]
[One year later, you gained basic mastery of Wood Release techniques.]
[A year and a half later, more than half of the nine tailed beasts in the ninja world had been captured by the Akatsuki.]
[Pain, along with the Akatsuki members, launched a full-scale attack on Konoha. After a fierce battle, you faced off against Pain's Six Paths alone. In the end, Deva Path Pain summoned the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path to enhance his power, resulting in both you and Pain's Six Paths perishing together.]
[Please choose a reward from the simulation:]
All the knowledge, skills, and combat experience you acquired.The increased chakra reserves.The awakened state of your bloodline.
The simulation ended, and Akira couldn't help but smile at the results.
First and foremost, he learned that his Dragon Transformation allowed him to resist the invasive nature of the First Hokage's cells, which was a huge bonus!
The reason why the First Hokage's cells were so difficult to transplant was that they were extremely aggressive, much like cancer cells. Ordinary people simply couldn't withstand them.
But Akira's body, enhanced by his Dragon Transformation, had surpassed normal human limits.
This allowed him to withstand the invasive nature of these cells and even gain the ability to use Wood Release. This was incredible news!
As for the three choices…
His Mangekyō Sharingan hadn't awakened yet, so the bloodline option wasn't that appealing. It made more sense to choose between the increased chakra reserves or the knowledge and experience gained from the simulation.
Given his past experience, Akira knew exactly what to do.
In a previous simulation, with Orochimaru's help, Akira had integrated Hashirama's cells, which caused his chakra reserves to skyrocket.
When he chose to retain the increased chakra reserves, his body had indeed absorbed Hashirama's cells!
Now, Akira chose the chakra increase again.
Sure enough, after making his selection, he felt a surge of heat throughout his body, as though he were submerged in boiling water.
But his chakra reserves continued to increase.
After a while, the sensation subsided, indicating that Akira's body had fully integrated the First Hokage's cells.
Looking into a mirror, Akira noticed that his skin had become even fairer, a sign that his cells had completely merged with Hashirama's cells.
The overall increase in his chakra reserves wasn't massive—only about a 10% boost.
But considering his current chakra level, that 10% increase was equivalent to the total reserves of a shinobi like Kakashi.
His chakra reserves, which were originally around 40,000 units, had now risen to approximately 45,000.
However, the increase in chakra wasn't the main benefit.
The key point was that his cells had now fully merged with the First Hokage's cells, meaning that he had successfully mastered Wood Release.
Akira then took out a chakra paper to test his chakra nature.
Originally, Akira's chakra nature included only Lightning and Fire.
But as he channeled chakra into the paper, the first reaction was wrinkling, indicating Lightning Release.
Next, the paper caught fire, indicating Fire Release.
These were the chakra natures he originally possessed.
Then, the paper suddenly became damp—this was Water Release.
Finally, the paper crumbled apart—this was Earth Release.
"So, I really have gained the ability to use Wood Release now. Wood Release is a Kekkei Genkai that combines Water and Earth natures."
Confirming his newfound ability to use Wood Release through the chakra paper test, Akira couldn't help but smile.
Having Wood Release made him significantly stronger!
Wood Release techniques like the Wood Human Technique are akin to piloting a giant robot!
And then there's the True Several Thousand Hands technique, a literal mountain of hands!
Just imagining it filled Akira with excitement!
After all, what could be more thrilling for a man than piloting a giant robot?
Of course, with his current chakra reserves only around 45,000, it would be impossible to use Wood Release as freely as the First Hokage did.
He would need chakra reserves exceeding 100,000—a level beyond the Kage class—to unleash Wood Release without restraint.
If he could awaken the Mangekyō Sharingan, that would be ideal. But if not, wielding Wood Release's giant constructs would be a decent alternative.
Moreover, with the large quantity of the First Hokage's cells now integrated into his body, if he ever awakened the Mangekyō Sharingan, he wouldn't need to worry about the risk of blindness.
The Mangekyō Sharingan is incredibly powerful, but excessive use can lead to blindness.
The only known solution is to transplant the eyes of a sibling to awaken the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan.
But since Akira had no siblings, that option wasn't available to him.
However, there was another way—the cells of the First Hokage.
With a sufficient amount of Hashirama's cells, the risk of Mangekyō-induced blindness could be significantly reduced, or even negated entirely.
Just look at Obito Uchiha.
In the original series, no one used the Mangekyō Sharingan as frequently as Obito.
His Kamui technique was used in nearly every battle, often multiple times.
And yet, despite using the Mangekyō Sharingan so frequently, Obito never suffered from the blindness associated with it.
This was mainly because much of Obito's body was composed of Hashirama's cells.
So, when he fought the Fourth Hokage and lost his right arm, he simply discarded it without concern—it wasn't his original body anyway.
When his right arm was burned by Amaterasu's flames, he simply discarded it too—Hashirama's cells could always regenerate it.
Now, with his entire body infused with Hashirama's cells, Akira believed that if he ever awakened the Mangekyō Sharingan, he wouldn't have to worry about blindness either.
Of course, these were just theoretical thoughts for now, as he hadn't yet awakened the Mangekyō Sharingan.
While he had gained the ability to use Wood Release, mastering its techniques would require time and effort.
Akira considered trying to develop these techniques on his own.
But he quickly dismissed the idea—who knows how long that might take? So, once again, he turned to the Life Simulator for help.
By simulating life multiple times and playing it safe for a few years, he could easily master Wood Release techniques!
In addition, the Life Simulator revealed that a year and a half from now, the Akatsuki would launch an attack on Konoha Village, aiming to capture Naruto Uzumaki.
That was a serious threat!
And what about Kakuzu? The ninja sent to inform the Sand Village about the Five Kage Summit would be killed by Kakuzu?
"Kakuzu, huh? Those ninjas were really unlucky to run into such an ancient monster with Kage-level strength!"
"But if Kakuzu will be appearing on the road from Konoha to the Sand Village in a few days…"
"Let's not forget, I wanted to be Konoha's treasurer but didn't get the job. Meanwhile, Kakuzu is practically the treasurer of the Akatsuki, right?"
"My obsession with money is mostly due to the Life Simulator, but Kakuzu's greed is genuine—and he has a hoarding habit!"
"If I could rob Kakuzu…"
In his early simulations, Kakuzu had been a final boss figure, frequently killing Akira to exchange his head for bounty money.
But now?
To Akira, Kakuzu seemed more like a walking treasure trove!
This was his ticket to wealth—no doubt about it! Lying back down in bed, Akira drifted off to sleep, eagerly anticipating what was to come.
After a good night's rest, Akira woke up, freshened up, and ate breakfast before heading to the Hyuga household.
He arrived smoothly, greeted Hiashi Hyuga, and made his way inside.
Already strikingly handsome, Akira had gone the extra mile in his appearance for his first date, making him so attractive that he turned heads wherever he went.
"Go call the young lady," Hiashi instructed one of the servants after exchanging a few pleasantries with Akira.
A short while later, Hinata appeared, having clearly put effort into her appearance as well.
Dressed in a simple yet elegant outfit, she was the picture of a young girl blossoming into womanhood. Her cheeks flushed with a rosy hue, and she shyly glanced at Akira before quickly lowering her gaze.
"Shall we go, Hinata?" Akira asked with a smile.
"Mm-hmm," Hinata nodded softly, her voice barely above a whisper.
And with that, the two of them left the Hyuga estate together...

This story is starting to generate a lot of hate, and I've noticed that most of the responses are very negative. I've been receiving 1-star ratings, which I delete because I don't accept hate here or reviews that give 1 star over a single scene they didn't like. I'm halfway through, but I'm starting to lose the motivation to continue posting here. I'm tempted to just give the remaining chapters to my Patreon and be done with it, as the community there is much more peaceful.
