Even against actual tailed beasts, he could rely purely on chakra to suppress them.
Compared to his previous state, the difference was nothing short of heaven and earth.
Originally, his chakra reserves had already been abnormally vast. But after this fusion, the qualitative leap turned that abnormality into something utterly monstrous.
It was inhuman.
After all, Senju Hashirama had once captured the Nine-Tails barehanded using Wood Release. Without such terrifying chakra reserves, creating a colossal Thousand-Armed Buddha capable of overpowering the Nine-Tails would have been impossible.
In truth, Arata couldn't help but wonder whether Hashirama might have crushed the Nine-Tails to death if he had exerted even slightly more strength.
Next, Arata felt the boundless vitality coursing through his body.
It was so intense that he doubted even a fatal wound could truly kill him.
To test it, Arata pulled out a kunai, clenched his teeth, and stabbed it straight through his thigh.
With a sharp intake of breath, he yanked the blade out.
Before Tsunade's eyes, the deep wound healed at a visible speed. Within mere seconds, the injury vanished completely.
Arata pressed his palm against the spot. There was no pain. No lingering discomfort.
He took a few steps forward—his movements remained smooth and unhindered.
This was Wood Release Regeneration.
By harnessing overwhelming vitality, the body could heal itself without any hand seals or conscious effort.
Even Uchiha Madara had once admitted that on the battlefield, killing Senju Hashirama was nearly impossible.
What made it even more terrifying was that Hashirama's cells retained this vitality even after death.
After Madara transplanted those cells, Hashirama's face famously grew from his chest.
As the saying goes: If you love someone, tattoo them on your body.
In that regard, Madara had truly taken it to heart.
Nearby, Tsunade watched Arata's self-experiment in silence.
With every passing second, her emotions surged more violently. She bit down on her lower lip, struggling to contain her overwhelming excitement.
For her, witnessing the rebirth of the Senju's legendary power was nothing short of a miracle.
After testing Muji's regenerative abilities, Uchiha Arata nodded in satisfaction. With this power, it would be nearly impossible for any enemy to kill him....unless he deliberately sought death.
At that moment, he noticed Tsunade watching him.
Feeling a surge of excitement, like a child eager to show off to a friend, Arata called out, "Sister Tsunade, come here. I want to show you something fun."
Tsunade took a deep breath to steady the turmoil inside her, then walked over with measured steps.
Leaning in close, she tilted her head playfully. "Oh? Something fun, huh?"
Seeing her beautiful face so near, Arata felt his heart skip. He quickly averted his gaze—only for his eyes to land in the deep valley of her cleavage once more.
He cleared his throat awkwardly, masking his fluster. "Sister Tsunade, I'm going to perform something you haven't seen in a very long time. If you like it… how about a kiss as a reward?"
Tsunade easily noticed his nervousness but chose not to call him out. Truthfully, she didn't mind at all.
Watching him try to act cool, she smiled softly and nodded. "Alright. If your performance impresses me, I'll definitely give you that chance."
Encouraged by her response, Arata stepped forward to face a wide clearing ahead. He formed a familiar hand seal....one Tsunade knew all too well.
"Wood Release: Birth of the Tree World!"
In an instant, dense branches erupted from the ground before him, shooting upward with astonishing speed.
The trees grew thick and tall, weaving together until they formed an impenetrable forest in mere moments. Its sheer scale dwarfed anything Yamato had ever produced.
Though Tsunade had suspected what ninjutsu he might use, actually witnessing Wood Release
Birth of the Tree World left her utterly stunned. The technique's appearance and overwhelming power mirrored her grandfather Senju Hashirama's so perfectly that it felt surreal.
She pressed her right hand to her mouth, trying to stifle the emotion, but tears still welled up and blurred her vision. Her eyes remained fixed on the scene, drinking it in greedily.
This was her grandfather's signature technique.
While Hashirama possessed other formidable Wood Release jutsu, the Birth of the Tree World was the one he relied on most often.
It was a restraining ninjutsu, born from his gentle nature—he could never bring himself to kill indiscriminately, so he favored this method that subdued opponents without taking their lives.
Arata gazed at the vast
sea of trees and nodded approvingly. He was pleased with the technique's power.
At last, he wielded authentic Wood Release on par with the First Hokage himself.
He turned back to Tsunade with a hint of pride. "So, Sister Tsunade? Surprised?"
