"Dark chakra?"
An Yan was puzzled. He felt like he had heard that term somewhere before.
Tanaka nodded, his excitement making him almost dance. "Yes, dark chakra. The ninja world is in a constant state of war, and the common people suffer greatly. Negative emotions are very easy to collect. Dark chakra is practically limitless."
An Yan frowned slightly and asked, "Have you tested what this dark chakra can do?"
Tanaka sighed. "We have. This dark chakra can attach itself to a person, turning a good person cruel, and a broad-minded person narrow-minded. In short, it affects a person's personality, pushing it from good to bad, towards the dark side."
An Yan's frown deepened. Hearing Tanaka's words, he thought of the Box of Ultimate Bliss from Kusagakure, which contained a monster named Satori. This monster was said to be a product of the Sage of Six Paths. Could it be that the Sage had been researching dark chakra and created that monster?
What they called dark chakra was essentially the resentment and negative energy of the world. An Yan could easily name several monsters created from similar things: the Evil Sword Immortal from Chinese Paladin, the Beast God from Jade Dynasty, and even some evil gods and demons in certain novels had similar settings.
Wait a minute, the ninja world also has an evil god. Could it be a disaster left behind by Tobirama? It seemed all too plausible that this dark chakra could create an evil god.
And there seemed to be many similar things: the Zero-Tails from Soragakure, Mōryō from the Land of Demons. They all seemed to be similar evil, immortal, and resurrecting beings.
Wait a minute, An Yan remembered where he had heard the term "dark chakra" before. Wasn't that what the minor boss Shinnō from Soragakure talked about?
An Yan now had a general idea of what this dark chakra was. He thought for a moment and asked Tanaka, "How long have we been working on this project? Have there been any results?"
Tanaka nodded as if it were obvious. "Of course, there have been results! Not to mention the collection and purification devices for dark chakra, we recently observed that the high-concentration dark chakra in the petri dish seems to have developed a simple consciousness. The artificial tailed beast project is showing initial success."
An Yan followed Tanaka to the dark chakra purification device. Underneath it was a huge, special glass cover. A large amount of dark chakra had gathered, and the faint shadow of an unknown creature could be seen moving within.
This dark creature was almost fully formed. An Yan was alarmed. Could this thing eventually grow into a world-destroying boss?
The dark creature was extremely dangerous. After just one glance, An Yan and Tanaka left the cultivation room. As he walked, An Yan looked back with lingering fear.
"This dark chakra creature seems to be nearing completion. Are all the sealing and containment measures in place?"
Tanaka's expression also became serious. "Lord Tobirama has always been meticulous. He has already set up the Four Symbols Seal. If anything goes wrong, it will be sealed immediately."
An Yan nodded. It seemed to add up. The leader of Soragakure had apparently stolen a scroll for sealing the Zero-Tails from some village. It was most likely Konoha.
The plan to cultivate a tailed beast with dark chakra seemed to be feasible, although what was being created was not a tailed beast, but some kind of monster.
A proper tailed beast is an incarnation of the Ten-Tails, the God Tree, and a product of the Sage of Six Paths' Yin-Yang Release. It cannot be created simply by collecting negative emotions.
However, the monsters created from this dark emotional energy were not useless. At the very least, they could be used as a power source.
An Yan remembered that in the movie, the Zero-Tails seemed to be able to power the entire sky fortress of Ancor Vantian.
An Yan wasn't asking for a sky fortress. It would be enough if it could power the entire village of Konoha. Or perhaps create an air force. That didn't seem impossible either.
Currently, none of the villages seemed to have developed any anti-air ninjutsu. If they could train an air force, it would surely be a game-changer in the Second Great Ninja War.
An Yan began his work in the Technology Development Department. He spent half a month familiarizing himself with every step of purifying dark chakra. Then, with his superior sealing jutsu skills, he condensed the entire process of storing dark chakra into a single technique:
Sealing Technique: Inner Demon's Descent.
The principle was simple: a series of small-scale sealing formulas that drew in negative emotions. It would normally store the surrounding negative emotions as dark chakra. Once the target was in a state of negative emotion or emotional turmoil, the dark chakra would erupt, causing them to lose control.
Even in modern civilized society, there are many cases of people committing murder in a fit of rage, let alone ninja who have had little education.
If this technique could be used on a Jinchuriki, it could cause the tailed beast to go on a rampage, potentially causing massive casualties in an enemy village.
An Yan submitted this technique, and it was immediately classified as an S-rank forbidden jutsu by Tobirama Senju and sealed in the Scroll of Seals.
When Hiruzen Sarutobi saw this technique, he was amazed by An Yan's genius and also regretted not having taken him on as his own student.
This was the second forbidden jutsu An Yan had developed. To create two forbidden jutsu at such a young age... he was practically a second Tobirama.
As Hokage, Hiruzen always considered himself fair in rewards and punishments. An Yan had not been selfish and had given his forbidden jutsu to the village. The village, in turn, had to reward him.
Hiruzen promised that An Yan could learn one forbidden jutsu from the Scroll of Seals. And in the future, for every forbidden jutsu he submitted to the village, he would immediately get a chance to learn another one.
An Yan wanted to say that with his relationship with Tsunade, he could learn most of the jutsu in the Scroll of Seals from Tobirama anyway.
But since the leader was showing his favor, he had to show the right attitude. Otherwise, he might end up dead one day without knowing why.
An Yan sincerely thanked Hiruzen and then chose the simplest A-rank forbidden jutsu from the Scroll of Seals: the Multi-Shadow Clone Jutsu.
Firstly, he was very busy with his research and felt he was spread too thin. This jutsu came at the perfect time. An Yan suspected that Tobirama had developed it specifically for research purposes.
Secondly, it would mitigate some of the negative impressions that came with studying forbidden jutsu in Hiruzen's eyes. He could learn techniques like the Reanimation Jutsu from Tobirama anyway; there was no need to learn them from Hiruzen.
An Yan was deliberately hiding his fangs, showing his harmlessness, lest the Konoha higher-ups become wary of him one day and suddenly remember that this young kid's first choice of forbidden jutsu was something as sinister as the Reanimation Jutsu.
Maintaining one's personal image is very important. Orochimaru and Tobirama were prime examples.
