Konoha Technology Development Department.
The more Tobirama and the others studied White Zetsu, the more advantages they discovered.
In terms of medical applications, if a ninja was missing a limb, they could simply take one from a White Zetsu and attach it. It would heal on its own thanks to the White Zetsu's powerful regenerative abilities, without needing much medical ninjutsu.
Kagami Uchiha's eyesight had declined due to frequent use of his Mangekyo Sharingan. An Yan grafted some White Zetsu cells onto him, and his vision was instantly restored.
Some smaller clans suffered from bloodline diseases caused by the physical strain of their family's jutsu, leading to early deaths. But with a transplant of some White Zetsu cells, they were usually cured.
For a time, White Zetsu became a panacea, and the various ninja clans scrambled to acquire it. The Konoha higher-ups quickly passed a law, classifying White Zetsu as a high-level resource that could not be used without a significant contribution to the village.
White Zetsu was a natural fit for chakra, making it an excellent test subject for studying chakra nature transformation and bloodline fusion.
An Yan and the others shifted their focus to White Zetsu, conducting all sorts of crazy and taboo experiments on it every day. It wasn't human, so there were no psychological burdens.
Hiruko had been focusing on the bloodline project. Through frantic experimentation, he had actually synthesized the Ice Release Kekkei Genkai in a White Zetsu. Orochimaru was astonished and also joined the bloodline project.
An Yan was also curious about this project, but he had too much on his plate and could only send a shadow clone to keep up with the progress.
If possible, An Yan still hoped to obtain other Kekkei Genkai, such as Magnet Release, Lava Release, or even a Kekkei Tota.
After Tobirama had comprehended Wood Style using the Wood Talisman, An Yan had been using the same method to comprehend the power of the other talismans, hoping to mimic their power with his chakra.
An Yan possessed water, earth, and wind chakra natures, so he started with the Water Talisman, comprehending the deep and tranquil power of water within it.
Although the Water Talisman represented water, it was more symbolic of spiritual cleansing. Using chakra to mimic its power, besides greatly enhancing his spirit attribute, didn't grant him any other powers. Even the power of his Water Style didn't increase, but he felt his resistance to genjutsu had greatly improved.
It was more like he had comprehended a mental technique, a state of mind of being like water, specifically for strengthening the mind and spirit.
Unconsciously, An Yan's spirit attribute had reached 20, far surpassing his other stats. If he could find a good genjutsu teacher, he could probably become a Special Jonin with his genjutsu skills alone.
The Earth Talisman was the five-coin pendant, representing the power of rebirth, allowing one to be resurrected after death. But this power was too introverted, so much so that An Yan could barely feel it. After several days of meditation with no results, he gave up in frustration, deciding to wait until he was stronger.
He couldn't just hand over something so vital to his life to Tobirama, so he had to digest it slowly himself.
There was no wind attribute among the five elements, so An Yan began to comprehend the power of fire. With the help of the Fire Talisman, he successfully comprehended the fire nature transformation. Other than that, he only learned a few small tricks for strengthening his body.
But the Metal Talisman gave him a surprise. By carefully attuning his chakra to the small golden bell that could teleport at will, he comprehended a strange ability, similar to an evasion technique from a xianxia world. By emitting a sound at a specific frequency, he could freely move within the range of the sound waves.
Hmm, I can finally hand in the Flying Thunder God research project, An Yan thought. This Sound Release Jutsu was much more convenient for close-range attacks than the Flying Thunder God.
But it meant he would have to carry a musical instrument with him at all times for easy attacks.
His mind wandered, and he thought of the Sound Village that Orochimaru would establish. With his current strength, it seemed he could easily build his own Sound Village outside of Konoha.
No, I can't think like that. My strength is still far from enough. I can't get arrogant.
An Yan came back to his senses and began to self-reflect.
Time flies when you're doing research. Before he knew it, several months had passed.
An Yan had just been enjoying a few days of leisure when he was summoned to the Hokage's office by Hiruzen Sarutobi.
When he arrived, he saw that many people were there. All six of Tobirama's disciples were present. It seemed something was up.
An Yan stood respectfully, waiting for the supreme leader of Konoha, Hiruzen Sarutobi, to speak.
Before he arrived, Danzo and Hiruzen had been arguing, but they immediately fell silent when he entered. They tried not to argue in front of the younger generation.
Hiruzen asked An Yan to sit down, and he did so obediently.
"An Yan, I've called you here today because of the Wood Style Jonin Training Class."
Hiruzen got straight to the point, which confused An Yan. Wasn't that decided months ago? Why hadn't it been implemented yet?
Seeing his confusion, Hiruzen gave a bitter smile. The original plan was to train Jonin from the Sarutobi and Shimura clans who were proficient in both water and earth nature transformations.
But during the selection phase, a retired Senju elder had gotten drunk and accidentally leaked the news. The whole of Konoha's ninja clans were now in an uproar.
This is Wood Style! Who wouldn't want it?
You may be the Hokage, Hiruzen, but you can't have it all. Are you just going to give all the good stuff to your own clan?
The heads of the various clans had come to him, giving him a huge headache. And he wasn't sure if the retired Senju elder had acted on his own or if it was arranged by Teacher Tobirama.
Was it a genuine accident, or a deliberate one?
Danzo was very firm. He slammed the table and confronted the clan heads. This is a benefit that Teacher Tobirama specifically gave to our two clans! What does it have to do with you?
The consensus among the other clans was that since they were all from the same village, everyone should get a share.
In the end, it was Hiruzen who came up with a solution: each clan would send one person to join the training class.
Danzo was strongly against it. He proposed that he should lead the entire class, keeping the Wood Style hidden in the shadows, so as not to provoke the other great nations.
Everyone else was unanimously opposed.
Danzo: "Hiruzen, you will regret this."
Hiruzen: "I am the Hokage."
