Chapter 81: Wood Human Technique
"Child, don't be too impatient"
Sarutobi Hiruzen felt his teaching career was challenged, he tried to calm himself down and explained, "This is the hand seal requirement for the Wood Release: Wood Human Technique."
"Even if Danzo were to teach you, or even the First Hokage himself, you would still need to form two hand seals to release the Wood Release: Wood Human Technique"
As Sarutobi Hiruzen spoke, he adjusted his thoughts, trying to make Akihara Kagura understand why two hand seals were necessary: "The more powerful the technique, the more hand seals are needed to avoid mistakes in guiding the flow of chakra within the body"
At this point, Sarutobi Hiruzen, the ninjutsu professor, couldn't help but add, "For such a powerful technique to require only two seals is actually quite rare"
If one were to be serious, a technique capable of contending with the Uchiha clan's Susanoo should avoid wasting time with complex hand seal gestures.
Because the First Hokage, Hashirama's rival was Uchiha Madara, and when the Uchiha clan released Susanoo, they didn't need any time to form hand seals.
Sarutobi Hiruzen recalled that when Uchiha Shisui released Susanoo, it was almost instant, arriving at the location and then directly concentrating and releasing Susanoo.
This is also why Sarutobi Hiruzen was willing to teach Akihara Kagura the Wood Release: Wood Human Technique.
At least, Akihara Kagura, this kid, had someone he wanted to protect in his heart, apart from being somewhat extreme, his temperament was not particularly complex, and he would say whatever he thought, not hiding too much like others.
Most importantly.
Akihara Kagura might not be able to learn the Wood Release: Wood Human Technique.
When Sarutobi Hiruzen first observed the Wood Release techniques left by the First Hokage, he believed that Hashirama's Wood Release ninjutsu could not possibly be learned by a normal ninja.
Sarutobi Hiruzen thought his teaching was likely ineffective, gently comforting Akihara Kagura: "Like the Uchiha clan's Susanoo, we have always believed this technique exists only in legends. Since the First Hokage passed away, no one has seen its true form. It's okay if you can't learn it"
"I'll practice the hand seals more"
Akihara Kagura practiced the hand seals back and forth, his forehead wrinkling tighter and tighter.

The Third Hokage's teaching approach had no issues!
Will once again burn brightly!
The only problem is that Akihara Kagura was too deeply influenced by the dark will of the root.
Sarutobi Hiruzen's eyes flickered slightly, realizing he could no longer let this child be influenced by Danzo anymore, he must completely sever Danzo's contact with him.
This child needs someone to guide him towards a normal life, needs to have more life bonds, should not act too extreme, and learn to protect Konoha!
"Can't control it"
Just at this moment, the wooden man became extremely unstable.
Leaves started to grow from the wooden man's body, and as if out of control, it collapsed rapidly, turning the more than ten meters tall wooden figure back into a large tree.
"Third Hokage!"
Akihara Kagura also jumped down from the tree, grumbling dissatisfied, "This technique is too difficult to control. When Lord Danzo first taught me the Advent of a World Flowering Trees, I mastered it completely after only one lesson"
"Hahaha"
Sarutobi Hiruzen was in a great mood, shaking his head, "Maybe the technique Danzo taught you was too simple. This is a technique powerful enough to counteract Susanoo!"
Sarutobi Hiruzen patted Akihara Kagura on the shoulder, continuing with a smile, "With more practice in the future, you'll eventually master this technique completely"
Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at Akihara Kagura with satisfaction, then turned to Uchiha Itachi nearby, "Kagura, Itachi, you two children are about the same age. You should get along well in the Anbu. The future of Konoha rests on the shoulders of you young people!"
"Apart from killing, I really can't do anything."
Akihara Kagura spread his hands, a hint of helplessness in his eyes, "People from the Root have no future. The only thing we can inherit is the Will of the Root"
As Akihara Kagura said this, his gaze slowly shifted to Uchiha Itachi, "Unfortunately, it seems Lord Danzo wants to pass the Will of the Root to Uchiha Itachi. How is he better than me? He's clearly so much weaker"
"Kagura-kun"
Uchiha Itachi felt it difficult to refute.
"Wake up, you are Anbu now."
Hatake Kakashi raised an eyebrow, tapping Akihara Kagura on the forehead, "The Root is just a training class for the Anbu. Your life is actually progressing"
