Naruto: Starting as Tsunade's Desk Mate

Page 19

An Yan looked around, very curious about Tobirama Senju's artificial tailed beast plan, and decided to take a look first, and if it didn't work out, he would exchange it.

Seeing that they had chosen their research directions, Tobirama led the three to different rooms. Each room had several researchers, all wearing white lab coats and exuding an air of scholarship.

An Yan arrived at the research area of ​​the artificial tailed beast project. Various talismans were drawn here, which looked like sealing techniques. An Yan observed them carefully and roughly judged that these chained sealing techniques seemed to be collecting some kind of energy.

A person in a white coat was observing the energy collection container from time to time and making notes.

An Yan walked over and greeted him politely.

"Hello, I'm An Yan, a newcomer who just arrived today. Could you tell me about this project?"

The doctor in the white coat was initially angry at being disturbed, but upon hearing that An Yan was a newcomer, he was immediately delighted. With a newcomer, he wouldn't have to work so hard and should quickly teach him so that the newcomer could do the work in the future.

The man in the white coat coughed and began his self-introduction: "Hello An Yan, I am Tian Zhongming, a researcher here."

An Yan nodded slightly in greeting, "Hello, Mr. Tanaka. Could you elaborate on this project?"

Tanaka Akira cleared his throat and began to speak: "As everyone knows, the Tailed Beasts are immortal. Even if someone manages to kill a Tailed Beast, it will revive soon afterward. Therefore, the Tailed Beasts are also known as natural disasters."

"Lord Tobirama has been pondering why the Tailed Beasts can be resurrected. He has proposed several possibilities. For example, the Tailed Beasts are a collection of resentment. As long as hatred exists in the human world, the Tailed Beasts will continue to exist. Or, the Tailed Beasts have left a mark on the world through a special method. Although they may die, they can be revived as time passes and the energy of the world gathers. Or, the Tailed Beasts may be products of Yin-Yang Release, which is why they can remain ageless, immortal, and indestructible."

Tanaka Akira paused to take a sip of water, then continued, "Other aspects cannot be verified, but if the tailed beasts are created by negative emotions such as resentment in the ninja world, I've always been curious whether collecting large amounts of negative emotions could lead to the creation of new tailed beasts."

An Yan frowned and said, "So these chain sealing techniques are collecting all kinds of negative emotions?"

Tanaka Akira nodded, his face full of admiration: "Lord Tobirama is really amazing. He can actually use sealing techniques to collect all kinds of negative emotions that have gathered in the world due to war and hatred. These negative emotions gather together to form a dense dark energy, which we call Dark Chakra. How about that? Isn't it cool?"

Chapter 36 Dark Chakra

"Dark chakra?"

An Yan looked puzzled; he seemed to have heard the word somewhere before.

Tanaka Akira nodded, gesturing excitedly, "Yes, it's dark chakra. The ninja world is constantly at war, and the common people suffer a lot. Negative emotions are easy to collect, and dark chakra is almost inexhaustible."

An Yan frowned slightly and asked, "Have you figured out what effect this dark chakra has?"

Upon hearing this, Tanaka Akira sighed, "It has indeed been tested. This dark chakra can attach itself to a person, turning a kind and good person into a vicious one, and a broad-minded person into a narrow-minded one. In short, it affects a person's character, turning their character from good to bad, towards the dark side."

An Yan frowned slightly. Hearing Tanaka Akira's words, he thought of the Paradise Box in Kusagakure, which contained a monster called Satoru. This monster seemed to be a creation of the Sage of Six Paths. Could it be that the Sage of Six Paths researched dark chakra and ended up creating such a monster?

It's called dark chakra, but it's actually the resentment, malevolence, and negative energy between heaven and earth. An Yan can easily name several monsters formed from this kind of thing, such as the Evil Sword Immortal in the Legend of Sword and Fairy series, the Beast God in a certain Legend of Sword and Fairy series, and even some evil gods, demons, and monsters in certain novels have similar settings.

Wait a minute, there seem to be evil gods in the ninja world too. Could it be a scourge left behind by Tobirama Senju? It seems perfectly normal for such dark chakra to create an evil god.

Similarly, there seem to be quite a few similar things. The Zero-Tails of the Hidden Ninja Village and the Moryo of the Land of Demons seem to be similar evil, immortal, and resurrected evil creatures.

Wait a minute, An Yan remembered where he heard the term "dark chakra." Isn't that what Shennong, the minor boss of the Sky Ninja Village, was talking about?

An Yan had a general idea of ​​what this dark chakra was like. After thinking for a moment, he asked Tanaka Akira, "How long have we been researching this project? Have we made any progress?"

Tanaka Akira nodded matter-of-factly: "Of course there have been results. Not to mention the collection and purification devices for dark chakra, we recently observed that the high concentration of dark chakra in the petri dish seems to have developed a simple consciousness. The artificial tailed beast project has begun to show promise."

An Yan followed Tanaka Akira to the bottom of the Dark Chakra Purification Device, where a huge special glass dome was placed. A large amount of dark chakra was gathered there, and the shadow of an unknown creature could be faintly seen moving inside.

The dark creature was almost fully formed, and An Yan was a little alarmed. Could this thing eventually grow into a world-destroying boss?

The dark creatures were extremely dangerous. An Yan only glanced at them before leaving the breeding room with Tanaka Akira. As they walked, An Yan looked back with lingering fear.

"This dark chakra creature seems to be taking shape. Have all the methods for sealing and containing it been prepared?"

Tanaka Akira's expression also turned serious: "Lord Tobirama is always meticulous in his work. He had already set up the Four Symbols Seal in advance. If things go wrong, he will seal it immediately."

An Yan nodded, it seemed to match up. The leader of the Sky Ninja seemed to have stolen the scroll sealing the Zero-Tails from a certain village, most likely Konoha.

The plan to cultivate tailed beasts with dark chakra seems feasible, although what is cultivated is not a tailed beast, but some kind of monster.

The real tailed beasts are the incarnations of the Ten-Tails of the Divine Tree, plus the product of the Sage of Six Paths' Yin-Yang Release; they cannot be created simply by collecting negative emotional energy.

However, these monsters created by dark emotional energy are not unusable; at the very least, they can be used as energy sources.

An Yan recalled that in the theatrical version, Zero Tail seemed to be able to drive the operation of the entire Sky City.

An Yan doesn't require a sky city; just enough to provide electricity to the entire village of Konoha would be fine. Or perhaps an air force unit could also be established.

It seems that none of the villages have developed any anti-air ninjutsu. If a group of air force soldiers were trained, they would surely be able to play a significant role in World War II.

An Yan began working in the technology research and development department. He spent half a month figuring out every step of purifying dark chakra, and then, relying on his superb sealing techniques, he condensed the entire process of storing dark chakra into a single technique.

Sealing Technique - The Descendant of the Inner Demon.

The principle is simple: it is a series of small-scale sealing techniques that attract negative emotions. Normally, the negative emotions around the user are stored as dark chakra. Once the user is in a state of negative emotions or emotional out of control, the dark chakra will erupt and cause the user to lose control of their emotions.

Even in modern civilized society, there are many examples of people killing others due to emotional outbursts, let alone ninjas who have not received much formal education.

If this technique could be used on a Jinchūriki, causing the Tailed Beast within the Jinchūriki to go berserk, it could potentially cause significant casualties to the enemy village.

An Yan handed over the technique, which was immediately classified as an S-rank forbidden technique by Tobirama Senju and sealed in the Book of Seals.

After seeing this, Hiruzen Sarutobi felt that An Yan was too talented, but he also regretted not taking An Yan as his disciple himself.

This is already the second forbidden technique that An Yan has developed. At such a young age, he has already developed two forbidden techniques. He is practically the second Tobirama-sensei.

As the Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi always believed in fair rewards and punishments. An Yan did not keep anything to himself and handed over the forbidden technique he developed to the village. Naturally, the village should also give back to An Yan.

Hiruzen Sarutobi promised that An'yan could learn a forbidden technique from the Book of Sealing, and that in the future, as long as An'yan submitted a forbidden technique to the village, he would immediately receive an opportunity to learn the forbidden technique.

An Yan wanted to say that, given his relationship with Tsunade, he could learn most of the techniques in the Book of Seals from Tobirama Senju.

However, since it's a leader bestowing favors upon us, we have to be gracious, otherwise we might die without even knowing how.

After sincerely thanking Hiruzen Sarutobi, An Yan selected the simplest A-rank forbidden technique from the Book of Seals: Multiple Shadow Clone Technique.

Firstly, he is currently very busy with research and is somewhat overwhelmed. This technique came at just the right time and was very suitable. An Yan strongly suspects that this technique was specially developed by Tobirama Senju for research purposes.

Secondly, it reduces some of the negative impacts of researching forbidden techniques in Hiruzen Sarutobi's eyes. For example, ninjutsu like the Impure World Reincarnation could be learned from Tobirama Senju, so there was no need to learn it from Hiruzen Sarutobi.

An Yan appropriately concealed his fangs and displayed his harmlessness, lest one day the Konoha higher-ups become wary of him and suddenly remember that this young boy, at such a young age, learned forbidden techniques such as the Impure World Reincarnation.

Maintaining a personal image is essential; Orochimaru and Tobirama Senju are prime examples.

Chapter 37 The Art of Flying Thunder God

Konoha Technology Research and Development Base.

The environment of the basement research institute was not very good; the darkness underground made the laboratory feel very oppressive.

An Yan observed the experimental materials that had been corrupted again and couldn't help but become a little irritable.

The four major pitfalls of biology, chemistry, environmental science, and materials science—I never expected to fall into one of them again.

Dark chakra is extremely corrosive, not only polluting the mind but also severely eroding materials, transforming them into dark materials, interfering with chakra flow, and affecting the mind of the holder.

If An Yan wanted to, he could easily forge things like demonic blades now; dark materials are just too easy to make.

Secondly, dark chakra is unstable. While transmitting energy, if a living being nearby experiences negative emotions, it may cause the dark chakra to expand and damage the energy transmission channel.

An Yan's initial idea was to find some highly inert materials to resist the erosion of energy, or to find some materials that could spontaneously purify dark energy in order to achieve energy conversion.

However, after several failed research attempts, An Yan realized that he had fallen into a deep pit in materials science. Konoha Village was just a small terrorist base, where would it get so much money to support materials science research that required the support of a nation?

An Yan directly changed his approach, no longer studying the energy conversion of dark chakra, but instead treating it as a fuel, a dangerous fuel that required special processing.

That makes things much easier. We can simply use sealing techniques to collect the chakra and use it to make a chakra cannon. It's simple, convenient, and quick, and the energy is easy to collect. The only downside is that this thing is not very useful now and only has a chance to appear during wartime.

An Yan's dream of supplying electricity to the entire Hidden Leaf Village was shattered. In this era, electricity is still a rare commodity, and power outages occur frequently, making An Yan very uncomfortable.

Family members, does anyone know why? This place is lit with candles!!!

It wasn't until about twenty or thirty years later that electricity became available throughout Konoha Village.

After submitting the report on the Chakra Cannon, An Yan decided to stop researching Dark Chakra and went directly to Tobirama Senju to ask him to change the research topic.

Tobirama Senju still had that same fighting face.

“Give me a good reason, An Yan, otherwise I will not agree to let you change your research project at will.”

In response, An Yan said, "I have thoroughly studied the Dark Chakra. This power only generates evil things. The purer the negative emotions, the more powerful the evil things generated. They are different from the Tailed Beasts. There is no point in continuing to study it; it will only bring disaster."

Tobirama Senju looked at the experimental report handed to him by An Yan, which recorded various experimental data from An Yan's research. He remained silent for a long time before finally ordering the closure of the artificial tailed beast project and the destruction of all data related to dark chakra.

The dark chakra creature that had acquired consciousness had its consciousness erased and its physical form shattered.

However, the creature quickly reformed its body, and no amount of ninjutsu could destroy it. Tobirama Senju had no choice but to seal it away.

This adds another scourge left behind by Tobirama. We'll see if we can find a way to petrify this thing using sage magic someday.

An Yan got his wish and changed his research project to the popularization project of Flying Thunder God.

While it's called popularization, it's really just about lowering the difficulty of training. The initial version of Flying Thunder God was too difficult to learn; even Hiruzen Sarutobi couldn't master it, let alone anyone else. Tobirama's goal was simple: to reduce the difficulty to a level that even his dim-witted apprentice could learn.

The researchers from the original project were reassigned to various projects. For example, Tanaka Akira came to the Flying Thunder God project with An Yan.

The Flying Thunder God Technique is a space-time ninjutsu that allows the user to leave a jutsu mark on an object and then instantly teleport there. Minato Namikaze mastered this technique, using it to instantly kill a large number of ninjas during the Third Shinobi World War, forcing the Third Tsuchikage and Konoha to cease hostilities, and ultimately becoming the Fourth Tsuchikage.

It's an incredibly overpowered ninjutsu. If it weren't for plot-driven deaths, characters like Tobirama and Minato wouldn't even know how they died.

Whoever masters this ninjutsu becomes a strategic ninja. There's no way around it; the Flying Thunder God Technique is just too versatile, encompassing assassination, escape, transporting supplies, and redirecting attacks.

An Yan couldn't even understand the ninjutsu scroll for the Flying Thunder God Technique, but that didn't matter. As long as he maintained the viewing posture, the system would automatically put him into learning mode.

The learning progress of "Flying Thunder God Technique" is 2%...9%...28%...100%. You have received systematic learning and mastered the space-time ninjutsu - Flying Thunder God Technique.

A wealth of knowledge entered An Yan's mind in a way that An Yan could understand. He quickly reviewed the information and confirmed that he had mastered the Flying Thunder God Technique.

To use the Flying Thunder God Technique, one needs to leave a chakra mark for positioning. An Yan thought of the mark left by Minato, which had four characters: "Sword of Endurance and Love," which was very chuunibyou. So what characters should he leave?

An Yan was here?

By the mandate of Heaven, may your life be long and prosperous?

Or will my sword, as swift as my own, cut through all the chaos?

An Yan pondered this for several days. Tobirama Senju thought he wouldn't be able to learn the Flying Thunder God Technique and went to comfort him, telling him not to rush things. An Yan was completely bewildered by this.

In the end, An Yan finalized the plan and chose to keep one emoji – a funny face with a smirking expression.

If I were to fight Madara Uchiha someday, I'd put a funny face on his face. I wonder if Madara would still be able to dance. That seems a bit like attracting hatred. Hmm, it could be used in conjunction with tactics to attract hatred.

During his time working with An Yan, Tanaka Akira already knew that An Yan was a genius, but he did not expect that An Yan would be such a genius. While he was still trying to understand the creative ideas behind Flying Thunder God, An Yan had already successfully performed the Flying Thunder God technique.

However, the tastes of geniuses are always unpredictable. Tanaka Akira couldn't understand why An'yan's Flying Thunder God mark had such a comical expression, and even Senju Tobirama frowned when he saw it.

Orochimaru and Hiruko have been a bit anxious lately. They all joined the R&D department at the same time, so why is An Yan so successful while we are making such slow progress? It makes us look so bad, doesn't it?
