"I really did it!"
Tsunade opened her eyes and joyfully sprang up.
Few could truly imagine how frustrating it had been for her before, when she couldn't even perform a single elemental jutsu.
Let's see if Nawaki dares laugh at his big sister being hopeless at jutsu now.
"Good."
"Now let's try something more challenging."
Kawaki rubbed his hands together, thinking what kind of Wood Release technique would best suit Tsunade.
"I don't know Sage Arts. I can't pull off your Daibutsu."
Looking at Kawaki's excited expression, Tsunade assumed he wanted her to use the Thousand Hands Manipulation Force: Thrust.
"No way," Kawaki denied immediately, though that exact thought had indeed crossed his mind just now.
"Then that's settled."
Tsunade nodded in satisfaction. Right now, only Kawaki could instruct her in Wood Release techniques.
"One step at a time."
"Kawaki, start by teaching her something simple."
Sakumo's suggestion matched perfectly with Tsunade's own thoughts.
If they started off with a massive technique, failing would be pretty embarrassing.
"But don't go too simple either—pick something worthwhile."
Orochimaru wasn't here to see any trivial party tricks; at the very least, he wanted to see a Wood Release technique capable of inflicting damage.
"No problem. How about [Descent of the Forest Realm]?"
Kawaki chose an extremely representative Wood Release technique. The technique wasn't overly difficult, but it required massive amounts of chakra.
That part didn't concern him—Tsunade, with Tailed Beast power, would never run short on chakra.
"Isn't that kind of difficult?"
Tsunade hesitated slightly—she knew this was already considered a major move.
"Aww, not really."
"You've got this. You're amazing."
"Can't our Hokage-sama handle a mere [Descent of the Forest Realm]?"
With two shots of pep talk, Tsunade instantly felt re-energized.
"Alright."
Tsunade flexed her fingers. Her hand seals were decent enough,
though truthfully, she rarely needed them for her own ninjutsu and hadn't practiced much.
"You won't need many seals. Just one."
Kawaki grinned as he watched Tsunade. [Descent of the Forest Realm] only required one Snake Hand Seal.
Even if your sealing speed could leave afterimages, it wouldn't show here.
"You just forgot," Tsunade shot him a look full of annoyance—he was right; she simply hadn't recalled that.
"Come on, don't dawdle."
Orochimaru hurried them along. He hated watching the two flirt like that.
"So impatient. You're just a wild boar who can't enjoy fine rice."
Kawaki jabbed back at Orochimaru, a fresh insult that darkened Orochimaru's face instantly.
That bastard never said anything nice.
"Pfft~"
Misaki glanced from Orochimaru to Kawaki and couldn't help but burst into laughter.
"Is it really that funny?"
Orochimaru glared at her.
"Not funny."
"Not funny at all."
Misaki shook her head, lips pursed but the smile still dancing on her face.
"You're the wild boar."
Still furious, Orochimaru spat back at Kawaki.
"Hahaha~"
Tsunade and Sakumo both burst into laughter.
"Okay, we'll begin."
Kawaki ignored Orochimaru's retort. Whether fighting or arguing, he wasn't afraid of anyone.
"You do the honors."
Tsunade composed her expression, and everyone became serious.
"It uses one's chakra as the source of life to grow trees underground."
"Just need to form the Snake Hand Seal."
Kawaki formed the Snake Hand Seal without channeling any chakra, just going through the motions.
"Okay, I'll give it a try."
Tsunade nodded. It sounded simple enough.
"I don't like this power, so don't expect me to help you."
Chōmei spoke first before Tsunade could even open her mouth. For once, he was being tough.
"Don't need it. I can manage on my own."
Tsunade communicated with Chōmei internally; she could feel her surging chakra at that moment.
Even without Chōmei's assistance in the future, she could be considered a human Tailed Beast equivalent.
"I can still help you in other ways."
Seeing Tsunade's harsh tone, Chōmei softened again.
"Heh~"
With just these two words, Tsunade made her attitude crystal clear.
Leaving Chōmei feeling helpless within her body.
[Wood Release: Nativity of a Sea of Trees]
Tsunade suddenly clapped both hands together and shouted loudly.
Everyone sensed a surge of chakra being channeled into the ground, quickly followed by tremors rippling through the earth.
Boom!! Boom!!
The entire training ground began to crack as enormous trees erupted from the ground in an instant.
Within just a few breaths' time, the training field was completely covered by a vast sea of trees.
"Outstanding!!"
Kawaki was the first to cheer for Tsunade.
"Wasn't even that hard!!"
Tsunade dusted off her hands, looking very proud.
"Truly breathtaking."
Sakumo couldn't help but marvel aloud as he watched the emergence of the forest up close for the first time.
He fully understood just how powerful such a large-scale Ninjutsu could be on the battlefield.
"It seems there is some difference though."
Orochimaru carefully examined the range of the forest, even breaking apart one of the trees.
Tsunade's Wood Release was somewhat weaker compared to Kawaki's.
Both in terms of coverage area and tree hardness.
"This is already sufficient."
Kawaki casually looked around. Wasn't Tsunade's Wood Release already far superior to Yamato's in the original plot?
Of course, Yamato's chakra reserves were nowhere near the same level as Tsunade's.
That was likely the most fundamental reason.
"That's true."
Orochimaru roughly estimated about a thirty percent deficit, but for combat purposes, it was more than adequate.
Next, Tsunade could try learning Sage Arts. Even if the Daibutsu of Thousand Hands Manipulation Force was smaller, it would still be something no ordinary Kage-level ninja could resist.

He knew his chakra reserves couldn't match Tsunade's; when he attempted the Wood Release himself later, it would definitely be weaker still.
As for failure, that word simply didn't exist in Orochimaru's dictionary.
That was the kind of confidence expected of the top scientist in the Naruto world.
Once he successfully fused with Hashirama's cells, he could directly attempt Thousand Hands Manipulation Force: Thrust, a powerful ultimate Wood Release technique in Sage Mode.
"Sister Tsunade is incredible."
Misaki could only watch as a spectator, cheering loudly for Tsunade.
"This is nothing special."
"Any more Wood Release techniques I can practice?"
Tsunade put on her usual big sister act, waving her hand proudly at Kawaki.
Even after becoming a mother, she remained as cheerful as ever.
"Of course."
"I'll show you a jutsu with real economic value."
"Watch carefully."
Without waiting for Tsunade's question, Kawaki dove straight into his demonstration. This wasn't just a performance—this was the real deal.
[Wood Release: Great Forest Villa Technique!]
Kawaki formed several complex hand seals and then slammed one palm onto the ground.
A luxurious wooden villa erupted from the ground, stunning everyone present.
Seriously—it would take a construction crew at least two weeks to build something like this.
And he did it all at ninja speed!
"What do you think? Selling this villa to you for a couple million ryō wouldn't be unreasonable, right?"
Kawaki raised an eyebrow, clearly proud of himself.
He came up with this jutsu just out of boredom—inspired by Yamato's Three-Room, Two-Hall Technique.
But compared to Yamato's, Kawaki's villa was way more luxurious.
"You're taking over all future housing projects in Konoha from now on!!!"
Orochimaru never thought Kawaki would use Wood Release like this.
