"Yoru, do you know what Kinoe's appearance represents?" Orochimaru, with a rare unsettling smile, responded directly to Yoru's question after completing all the checks. "Wood Release?"
"No! You're wrong!" Orochimaru immediately corrected his disciple, his eyes fixed on the precious data in his hands, filled with enthusiasm.
"This represents kekkei genkai! From nothing to something, even ordinary people can cultivate kekkei genkai."
Looking at Orochimaru in front of him, Yoru couldn't help but show astonishment. Scientists truly have peculiar thought processes. He initially thought Orochimaru wanted to cultivate a group of ninja with Wood Release, even though it would be a weaker version. But who would have thought that Orochimaru had gone beyond that and was now thinking about cultivating various kekkei genkai.
If Wood Release could be cultivated, what about other kekkei genkai?
Kekkei genkai, the mysterious existence that never disappeared from the entire ninja world. During the Warring States period, the highest were the kekkei genkai clans, representing immense power, followed by the secret arts clans.
If this problem could be overcome and kekkei genkai could be cultivated on a large scale, it would cause a significant impact in the ninja world.
"Orochimaru-sensei, are you saying..."
Yoru seemed to have realized something. Orochimaru nodded enthusiastically, "Exactly! Although Kinoe's Wood Release is inferior to the First Hokage's, once we overcome this cultivation challenge, I will be able to create a kekkei genkai clan with my own hands."
Yoru couldn't help but silently curse in his heart. Orochimaru's thought process was truly unpredictable. He thought Orochimaru wanted to cultivate all the kekkei genkai in the ninja world, but he circled back to this point. Indeed, he couldn't understand the thought process of a scientist.
But on the surface, Yoru pretended to be excited. "If Orochimaru-sensei can cultivate a few Wood Release ninja, it will be a direct way to stabilize your position as the Fifth Hokage."
Yoru's excited appearance made Orochimaru, who was also excited, feel a chill. A hint of frustration flashed in his snake-like eyes. Clearly, they still had some differences in understanding. How could Yoru think of this question?
Just a few Wood Release ninja becoming the Fifth Hokage? Was that great? Shouldn't it be even greater if he could personally create a kekkei genkai clan? Just like the legendary Six Paths Sage, he could be a god who could create everything.
Two people, two minds, going in opposite directions.
Seeing Orochimaru's excitement, he suddenly realized that his joy was something no one could understand. It was truly frustrating. Orochimaru, with a hoarse voice, gestured, "Yoru, keep Kinoe here for now and remember to keep it a secret."
It seemed that Orochimaru had taken Kinoe from Danzō. Although Wood Release was rare, Kinoe's Wood Release was considered a weakened version compared to the First Hokage's. Therefore, Danzō was willing to let him go.
Or perhaps Danzō and Orochimaru were collaborating at this point to revive the Wood Release project. They probably wanted to see if they could create a few more Wood Release ninja. After all, there's never too many kekkei genkai users. What if they unexpectedly produce a Wood Release user of the First Hokage's level? That would be amazing.
"Orochimaru-sama!"
Kinoe, who had just been through a thorough examination and had lost quite a bit of blood, now got off the bed. Although his body was still shaking, he respectfully bowed to Orochimaru.
Orochimaru, who was already accustomed to the brainwashing and training of Root members, didn't pay much attention. He casually waved his hand, "Kinoe, you've done well. Let me know if you need anything."
It was clear that Danzō had assigned Kinoe to work under Orochimaru. After all, Orochimaru was now also a member of Root.
"Yes!"
Kinoe, in a numb manner, acted like a puppet without emotions. He had no plans for his own future and was the most loyal test subject.
As Yoru watched Kinoe and Orochimaru's fanatical expression, he secretly contemplated. If Orochimaru could create artificial kekkei genkai, there must be some kind of ninjutsu that could do the same.
...
Yoru returned to the Police Department's office, showing signs of exhaustion. As he sat at his desk, leaves would occasionally fall from his palm.
Strangely, these leaves seemed unusual, as if they had been electrified. There were even faint arcs of electricity when they fell.
Yoru smiled, clutching a leaf in his palm. It was evident that he had made progress. It seemed that enhancing his constitution also strengthened his innate talents.
Before awakening his Sharingan, he could only be considered an ordinary ninja with above-average aptitude. After activating his Sharingan, he experienced a strengthening process. He could clearly feel that his training was progressing much faster than before.
For example, the amount of chakra he used to increase in a month now took only ten days. With his current Sharingan and enhanced constitution, his training speed had once again increased. He had truly reached the level of a genius.
"Especially during the Lightning Style training, I should be considered a genius now." Yoru muttered to himself with a smile, despite the fatigue showing on his face.
In the ninja world, strength was the most fundamental aspect. Having a status alone wouldn't be enough; one needed strength to match it. Until he reached the level where he could single-handedly overpower the entire village like the First Hokage or Madara Uchiha, he could only obediently assimilate into the community.
"Orochimaru-sensei, you truly deserve praise." Every time he interacted with Orochimaru, Yoru would rearrange his training direction. Just as he had anticipated, Orochimaru, the scientist of the ninja world, directly analyzed his innate talent.
Orochimaru's arrangement for his training was to strengthen the nature transformation of Lightning Style and simultaneously focus on physical training for the next three months. With the added boost of the Sharingan, his learning speed in ninjutsu was remarkably fast.
As Yoru was thinking about Orochimaru's training plan for him, the office door suddenly knocked.
Knock, knock, knock~
"Come in."
The office door opened, and in walked Yoru's cousin, Uchiha Shisui, accompanied by a female ninja holding a stack of documents. The only difference was that she appeared younger.
Yoru didn't pay much attention, but he smiled at Shisui, "Shisui, what's up?"
Shisui, feeling guilty seeing the fatigue on Yoru's smiling face, thought that his elder brother had taken on too much responsibility for the clan.
"Yoru-niisan, we have recruited all the personnel for the Seventh Division of the Police Department. These are the profiles of all the team members."
A thick stack of documents was placed on the desk. Each document contained a photo of the ninja, their background, their performance in the ninja academy, substitute teachers, and the teachers who led them after graduation.
"Yoru-niisan, this is Uzuki Yugao. She is quite skilled in handling documents." Shisui introduced the female ninja behind him with a smile. He deliberately chose her to lighten Yoru's workload.
