Naruto: Betrayed From The Start

---

The reason why the Senju clan and the Third Hokage were so eager to recreate the glory of the Wood Release was Hashirama's terrifying Wood Release chakra.

Hashirama died, his soul dissipated into the world.

But his body, thanks to the powerful Wood Release chakra, remained terrifyingly active and didn't die.

In a way, Hashirama didn't die. He just no longer had a soul in his body.

If there was a jutsu that could summon souls back from the underworld to the real world, the return of the god of ninjas to the ninja world would be entirely possible.

His body was enough for him to live for at least another hundred years.

This was the power of the god of ninjas and the Wood Release. It was powerful beyond belief.

No wonder the Senju clan and the Third Hokage both wanted to regain the Wood Release.

Not long after the Ninja World War ended, the new head of the Senju clan and the Third Hokage gathered all the ninjas in Konoha who were skilled in research in a secret base to conduct research on the Wood Release revival. Danzo was also a member of the research team.

After a round of discussion, research, and verification, they believed that the most likely way was to cultivate Hashirama's cells, which were filled with Wood Release chakra, and then implant them into other ninjas. Allow the cells in their bodies to slowly assimilate Hashirama's cells, thereby obtaining a new Wood Release.

Unfortunately, Hashirama's cells were too invasive. None of the ninjas who participated in the experiment could withstand it. They were consumed by Hashirama's cells, their chakra and bodies turning into small trees covered in green leaves.

Originally, the Wood Release Revival Plan had to be stopped there.

But the Senju clan was very unwilling to accept this.

And they believed that the reason why the test subjects couldn't withstand the invasion of Hashirama's cells was because they didn't have the Senju clan's bloodline.

Only Senju clan ninjas who inherited the same bloodline as Hashirama could withstand the invasion of Hashirama's cells.

However, everyone underestimated the power of Hashirama's cells.

Many powerful Senju clan ninjas, including the new clan head, couldn't withstand the invasion of Hashirama's cells and all died.

After that, the Wood Release Revival Plan completely failed.

The Senju clan also declined drastically due to the death of many powerful members.

The Uchiha clan no longer had a clan to suppress them.

The Uchiha clan's arrogant heart, which had been suppressed by the Senju clan, became even more arrogant.

This was a misjudgment made by the Third Hokage back then. Now, he didn't want to lose more ninjas because of restarting the Wood Release Revival Plan.

Let's not mention that for now. After the Wood Release Revival Plan failed, all the researchers withdrew from the research base.

The Third Hokage himself never went back to that secret base.

Only Danzo had been doing some research in that secret base for many years. He definitely knew the condition of all the equipment used to research the First Hokage's cells.

Danzo saw that the Third Hokage wasn't asking about the condition of the equipment to restart the Wood Release Revival Plan. A hint of disappointment flashed in his eyes.

For many years, he had never stopped researching the Wood Release Revival Plan.

Unfortunately, a single person's efforts were limited. The biggest constraint was lack of money.

If the Third Hokage supported it, and they researched it under the name of Konoha, then they would have more funding, and the research progress could be greatly accelerated.

Unfortunately, the Third Hokage didn't want to restart the plan.

If he wasn't restarting the Wood Release Revival Plan, then why was the Third Hokage asking about the condition of the equipment in the secret base?

Danzo asked the question in his heart.

"You just need to answer me whether those research materials are still usable," the Third Hokage said unwillingly.

"They're usable." Danzo replied.

"That's all. You can go out." The Third Hokage said.

"What the hell?" Danzo's eyes flickered. He knew that the Third Hokage must have some secret about asking about the equipment, but… forget it. He would first establish Root and then worry about it.

Danzo turned and left.

The Third Hokage sat in his chair, smoking, and thought for a moment. He felt a little unwilling to give up. He decided to wait another month.

If there was still no hope of a breakthrough with Akemiya Kenshi, then he would send him to Danzo's place and let Danzo research that guy's cells to see if he could find out why that guy was immune to genjutsu and develop a jutsu that could counter the Uchiha's genjutsu.

…

A month later.

Night.

Interrogation Room No. 3.

The Third Hokage pushed open the door and walked to the torture bed.

Kenshi was lying on the bed, his eyes closed, an IV needle inserted into his arm. He was now completely dependent on the nutrient solution in the IV bag to stay alive.

"This is the last time."

The Third Hokage thought to himself, then formed hand seals and once again released the Genjutsu - Dark Walk Technique.

After a while, the Third Hokage released his hand seals and looked at Kenshi on the bed in disappointment. Then, he turned and left.

Over the past month, he had come to the interrogation room three times. Counting this time, it was four times.

Kenshi was still in a vegetative state, his body breathing instinctively.

His chakra was still special, immune to all genjutsu invasion.

The Third Hokage had given up.

"Send him to Root. Someone there will take him."

Outside the interrogation room, the Third Hokage finished giving instructions about Akemiya Kenshi's future, patted Blast on the shoulder, and said, "You've worked hard over this period. From now on, you'll return to your identity as the Anbu Blast Squad and continue to carry out Anbu missions."

"Yes, Hokage-sama." Blast's eyes shone as he looked at the Third Hokage, his body trembling slightly.

The Third Hokage smiled, then left.

After the Third Hokage left, the members of Blast Squad immediately pushed the torture bed towards the Root base.

On the torture bed, Kenshi, sensing his body being moved out of the interrogation room, secretly prepared himself. He would launch a desperate attack at the first sign of trouble.

At this moment, he had successfully condensed the same sealing jutsu chakra as the sealing jutsu on his body.

Because this sealing chakra was the same as the chakra on the sealing jutsu, the sealing jutsu couldn't recognize his chakra.

So, Kenshi could now undo the sealing jutsu on his body at any time.

But he didn't. He continued to maintain his sealed state.

As long as he wasn't forced into a desperate situation, Kenshi wouldn't easily reveal his weakness.

He now had the confidence to make a comeback.

As long as he had time, he would definitely escape from Konoha.

It's worth mentioning the benefits of having his soul merge with his chakra.

First, Kenshi's control over his chakra had taken a step forward.

Before, he could only absolutely control his chakra to change its shape.

Now, he had absolute control over the nature change of his chakra, allowing him to easily replicate and condense various chakra attributes.

But the most crucial thing was that after his soul merged with his chakra, he gained a chakra perception ability that was too abnormal.

Especially when he was in contact with his chakra, his chakra perception ability entered a level that could be considered abnormal, like X-ray vision, allowing him to perceive the nature changes and shape changes of jutsu chakra.

The sealing attribute chakra on the sealing jutsu on his body was like X-ray vision in his perception. He could perceive the corresponding nature changes and shape changes.

This made it easier for Kenshi to replicate and condense the sealing attribute chakra of the sealing jutsu.

And with absolute control over the nature and shape changes of his chakra, plus the ability to perceive the nature and shape changes of jutsu chakra, it meant that Kenshi could learn any jutsu.

Whether it was a regular five-element jutsu or a new attribute jutsu from a kekkei genkai that fused attributes, as long as he perceived the corresponding nature changes and shape changes, he could learn it.

As long as he could perceive the nature and shape changes of the jutsu chakra, he could condense the same jutsu chakra and release the corresponding jutsu.

This was the truth he had discovered through experimentation over the past month while condensing the sealing jutsu chakra.
