Comprehensive Manga: Hope in Another World

Originally, Shun also intended to stay low-key.

But the problem was that the Sage Body, which was very compatible, and the transplanted Two-Tomoe Sharingan were too convenient to use.

Having harmonized with both Kekkei Genkai, Shun possessed an immense amount of life energy and spiritual energy under the strong effects of the Yang and Yin Elements.

Chakra is a combination of bodily life energy and spiritual energy. Other people need to rest and replenish energy after refining chakra for a while; otherwise, their body and soul cannot withstand it.

However, Shun felt that his life energy and spiritual energy were as abundant as a gushing underground spring. Two months of training, especially intense training with Duy, had directly refined his chakra to the Chunin level.

Shun initially planned to cause a scene and overpower the kids at the Ninja Academy, acting as he pleased. Without any restraint, he spent all his chakra and used a smaller version of the Wood Release.

Although not as powerful as the original, it still served as a catalyst for creating a giant forest world the size of a football field that terrified a group of troublemakers.

The scene was indeed intimidating, but the reality...

If there were someone like Guy who was fearless, Shun might have had to rely on physical abilities to counter the Rasengan.

Unfortunately, the kids at the Ninja Academy were still young. After witnessing the Two-Tomoe Sharingan and the legendary Wood Release, they were nearly overwhelmed and lost half of their fighting spirit. They allowed Shun to pull off a major move.

It was estimated that all of Konoha, perhaps the entire ninja world, was in an uproar now.

Still, Shun didn't really need to worry. With True Spirit Reincarnation, not much time was left. If the time came, he could activate the Multiverse Roulette and escape.

"I'm actually quite afraid of death, but I can assure you, Orochimaru-sensei, that no one in the entire ninja world will find me in the coming years."

Shun looked at him without fear, his eyes calm.

"I can't explain the specific reason to you, sensei. Everyone has their secrets. At this point, please believe that your student is smart and trust your own judgment."

Shun's blood-red eyes met Orochimaru's indifferent gaze for a moment, and finally, Orochimaru chose to look away.

"Have Anko come and help me record today's experiment. You may stay at home. If nothing happens, you're free to leave."

"No problem, but before I go, I have a powerful ninjutsu that doesn't require hand signs and I want to consult with you, sensei."

A light blue Rasengan appeared in Shun's hand, and he skillfully demonstrated the jutsu and explained the principles and process behind its development.

Orochimaru was silent for a moment after hearing this. He looked at the young man before him with an unreadable expression.

"Shun-kun is indeed a genius to have developed this jutsu on his own. What do you seek from me?"

"Ryuchi Cave Senjutsu."

Shun voiced his long-standing desire without hesitation.

"I assume sensei has met the White Snake Sage. Given your personality, you couldn't have left without obtaining the Ryuchi Cave Senjutsu training method."

"Senjutsu training is extremely difficult." Orochimaru warned. "Sage Mode can only be performed by those with vast amounts of chakra; those with insufficient chakra can be easily overwhelmed by natural energy. Even those with ample chakra can be swallowed by nature's energy."

"Shun-kun, this method is not suitable for you at this time. Moreover, just like how Mount Myoboku's Senjutsu begins by applying toad oil to the body to sense and absorb natural energy, Ryuchi Cave Senjutsu also requires the aid of the White Snake Sage and 'oil' for training."

"Don't worry about that. I only need it for research."

Seeing Shun's determination, Orochimaru did not hesitate, instead handing over the Ryuchi Cave Senjutsu training method.

As expected, Rasengan proved to be highly beneficial for time travelers. In the end, Shun managed to use it as leverage for a trade.

"Well, I'm leaving now."

Shun wrote down the training method, turned, and walked out.

"By the way, if... well, if Danzo comes looking for you, sensei, you can use this as leverage to threaten me and express your willingness to hand me over to him."

Orochimaru stared at Shun's departing figure for a long time before turning back to his work.

Shun continued training with Duy as if nothing was wrong.

At this time, an uninvited guest entered the conference room of the Hokage building.

*BANG*

The door burst open, and Danzo rushed in.

"Do you realize what time it is, Hiruzen, and you're still having tea!"

Danzo was furious at the sight of the elderly man's kind demeanor and slammed his hand on the solid wooden desk.

The loud noise attracted the attention of many ninjas, but when they saw the masked ANBU at the door, they all silently lowered their heads.

"The boy's potential is too terrifying. For the sake of the village, he must join ANBU! If not, he must die!"

"He is the sole heir of the Senju Clan and also bears the bloodline of the Uchiha Clan. Neither Tsunade, representing the Senju in the village, nor the Uchiha Clan will give him up. Danzo, you will only provoke the Uchiha Clan and the Senju Clan." Hiruzen said.

With Nawaki's death, the Senju Clan's lineage was nearly extinguished. Finally, there was a Wood Release user. If anything happened, Tsunade, who would rush back after hearing the news, might cause a major upheaval.

Moreover, the Senju Clan only laid down their name and blended in for the village; they weren't extinct!

Not to mention the Uchiha Clan, which was already in conflict with the village. If something terrible happened to Shun, a genius with Two-Tomoe Sharingan, the group of potential rebels would likely take action.

"This matter must be discussed with the Uchiha Clan, Tsunade from the Senju Clan, and Orochimaru."

"Discussed?"

Danzo sneered.

He had to act now!

"A ninja must sacrifice themselves. For the village, an unstable bomb like Takema Shun must be managed by ANBU! So what if he sacrifices his freedom and life for the village!"

*BANG*

Hiruzen set his water glass down heavily, his cloudy eyes displaying a cold and sharp glint.

"I've said it! For the village, matters involving Takema Shun will be negotiated by the three parties!"

"No! If the Uchiha Clan gains control of him, Konoha will fall into an irreversible situation. The entire village will collapse. As the root of Konoha, it is my duty to prevent trouble before it happens for the village!"

"That's enough, Danzo. I am the Hokage." Hiruzen stood, slamming the table, and shouted.

"Hiruzen, you will regret this!"

Danzo gritted his teeth, slapped the table, and left.

Silently, he cursed himself for being a coward at that time; otherwise, the Hokage position would have been his.

This resentment gnawed at his heart like a venomous snake, driving Danzo further away from sanity as he turned and headed for Orochimaru.

There was no chance with the Uchiha Clan or Tsunade, so Shun's mentor Orochimaru was the only breakthrough.

As long as he used real human experimentation as leverage, Orochimaru would certainly be forced to comply.

Danzo's eyes showed determination.

"Surrender, or let everyone find only a corpse!"
