Black Naruto: Shadow Moon

Uchiha Yingyue was slightly surprised when he heard this: "Reviving the Senju clan? But... the Senju clan has been integrated into the village. Now the clan members are scattered everywhere, and it is difficult to gather them again."

Elder Mufeng's eyes flashed with a trace of complex emotions. He tightly grasped the cane in his hand, and there was a hint of resentment in his voice: "It is because of this decision that I can't calm down for a long time. Back then, Hashirama Senju and Tobirama decided to disband the Senju clan and integrate them into the village for the sake of village unity, but they didn't expect how much loss this decision would bring to the Senju clan."

Elder Mufeng continued, his tone filled with pain and disappointment that could not be concealed: "The original intention of Senju Hashirama and Tobirama may have been for the peace of the village, but they underestimated the role of family power in supporting the village. After the dissolution of the Senju clan, the power of the clan was dispersed, and the cohesion and unified leadership were lost. Many young generations lost their inheritance and did not even know where their roots were."

He paused, and his voice became heavier: "The Senju clan was once one of the most powerful families in the ninja world, with countless strong people and countless inheritances, but with the dissolution of the family, many precious skills and knowledge were forgotten, and the clan members gradually faded out of the core position of Konoha. Now, although the Senju clan still exists in name, it is actually dead in name only."

Yingyue listened quietly, and was shocked by Elder Mufeng's words. He had never thought that the disbandment of the Thousand Hands Clan would have such a far-reaching impact.

Elder Mufeng's voice gradually deepened: "Yingyue, I know you may have doubts in your heart, but you must understand that the Thousand Hands Clan is a part of you, and its blood flows in your body. If you allow it to continue to decline like this, it will not only be a betrayal to the Thousand Hands Clan, but also a betrayal to your own bloodline."

Elder Mufeng looked at Yingyue, his eyes flashing with complex light: "You are the last hope of our Senju clan. Although you are young, you have the blood and talent of both the Senju and Uchiha clans. Your existence may be the key to the resurgence of the Senju clan. Can you shoulder this responsibility and revive the Senju clan?"

Yingyue felt Elder Mufeng's urgency and expectations, and couldn't help but ponder in her heart.

Yingyue knew that reviving the Senju clan was not an easy task. It not only required enormous power and resources, but also had to face various resistances from inside and outside the village.

"Elder, reviving the Thousand Hands Clan is indeed a grand goal, but I need more power and support." Yingyue said with a hint of caution, "Are you willing to help me?"

Elder Mufeng nodded and said firmly: "As long as you have this determination, I will do my best to support you. The inheritance of the Thousand Hands Clan cannot be cut off. I will do my best to hand over the remaining resources, skills, and clan members who are loyal to the family to you."

Yingyue was silent for a moment, and finally a firm look flashed in his eyes: "Elder, I will do my best to shoulder the responsibility of reviving the Senju clan. But this road is long and needs to be taken step by step. I hope to get your continued support and guidance."

Elder Mufeng showed a gratified smile on his face: "Yingyue, you have such determination, and I have hope in my heart. As long as you don't give up, the Senju clan will surely stand at the top of the ninja world again."

After Elder Senju Mufeng asked Yingyue to take on the responsibility of reviving the Senju clan, Yingyue knew that increasing strength was crucial to achieving this goal.

Yingyue thought that although he had awakened Wood Release, his control over this power was not mature enough. Therefore, Yingyue took the opportunity to ask Elder Mufeng to learn Wood Release ninjutsu.

"Elder, I understand your expectations, but in order to revive the Senju clan, I need more powerful strength." Yingyue said respectfully, "I hope to learn the Wood Release Ninjutsu of Senju Hashirama to further improve my abilities."

Elder Mufeng nodded, understanding Yingyue's request.

He knew that Wood Release was the most powerful bloodline limit of the Senju clan, and it was also the key to Yingyue's ability to quickly improve his strength.

However, Elder Mufeng himself did not know Wood Release Ninjutsu, but he knew that Hashirama Senju's wife Uzumaki Mito kept a record of Hashirama's Wood Release Ninjutsu.

"Kagezuki, I agree to your request." Elder Mufeng said slowly, "Although I cannot teach you Wood Release Ninjutsu in person, I know that Senju Hashirama's Wood Release Ninjutsu is recorded in detail by his wife, Lady Uzumaki Mito. She is the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki of the village and a powerful sealing ninja in Konoha Village. If you can get her guidance, you will definitely learn a lot from it."

For this purpose, Elder Mufeng called Tsunade Senju, who was only 18 years old at the time.

Tsunade is in her youth, with a straightforward and bold personality, and her lightning escape technique has begun to take shape.

As the granddaughter of Hashirama Senju, Tsunade has been proud of her family bloodline since she was a child. Although she herself has not awakened the Wood Release Kekkei Genkai, she has always been full of yearning and fantasy for this powerful power.

When Elder Mufeng suggested that Tsunade lead Yingyue to visit Uzumaki Mito, Tsunade's eyes flashed with curiosity and expectation: "Elder Mufeng, has this Yingyue really awakened Wood Release?"

Elder Mufeng nodded and said, "Yes, Tsunade. Not only did he inherit the blood of our Senju clan, he also has the blood of the Uchiha clan. He has awakened Wood Release, but still needs further training and learning. And you, as the granddaughter of Uzumaki Mito-sama, are the most suitable to lead him to visit Mito-sama."

Tsunade smiled slightly and turned to look at Yingyue: "Then let's go now, Yingyue. I also want to see how you awakened Wood Release."

Uchiha Yingyue felt a little nervous, but more of it was anticipation and determination.

Shadow Moon followed Tsunade on the road to Uzumaki Mito's residence.

Along the way, Tsunade was full of curiosity about Shadow Moon and kept asking him how he awakened Wood Release.

Although she is the granddaughter of Hashirama Senju, she has not awakened the Wood Release technique, which makes her particularly interested in Shadow Moon's abilities.

"Kagezuki, can you tell me how you awakened Wood Release?" Tsunade asked, with a deep curiosity in her eyes. "Is it related to the chakra in your body? Or is there any special training method?"

Yingyue was also quite confused when faced with Tsunade's question.

In fact, a large part of his Wood Release awakening relied on the help of the Destiny System. Yingyue himself was not fully aware of the specific reasons and methods.

Therefore, Yingyue could only make vague excuses.

"Sister Tsunade, in fact, my awakening of Wood Release seems to be a coincidence." Yingyue forced a smile, "I didn't do any special training. It was just that during a battle, I suddenly felt the power in my body change, and then Wood Release appeared."

Tsunade frowned, obviously not satisfied with the answer: "Coincidence? Isn't there any specific training method or physical requirement?"

Yingyue could only continue to prevaricate: "It's probably some combination of physique and chakra. I'm still exploring, so there's no definite answer for now."

Although Yingyue's answer was a bit vague, Tsunade did not ask any further questions.

She knew that some things could not be easily explained.

However, during her communication with Yingyue, Tsunade felt Yingyue's humility and sincerity, and her affection for him gradually increased.

Tsunade's tone softened, "I have also been looking for the possibility of awakening Wood Release. If you have any progress or discoveries, please let me know."

Uchiha Kagezuki nodded, "Of course, I will do my best to explore the ability of Wood Release, and I will share my findings with you, Sister Tsunade."
