Chapter 772: Teaching in Konoha, the System Says I Am Tsunade

He walked into the Hokage's office and sat on the sofa to wait.

But he didn't stay idle, continuing to modify his medical ninjutsu for limb regeneration.

If nothing unexpected happened, he would succeed in the next two days.

It would be just right as a congratulatory gift for Tsunade becoming the Fifth Hokage.

Half an hour later, footsteps sounded.

Kitazawa looked up and saw Tsunade and Shizune.

"Kitazawa? When did Itachi get here?"

Tsunade sat opposite him.

"Not long ago."

Kitazawa said with a smile.

"Is there something Itachi need from me?"

Tsunade yawned and asked.

After becoming Hokage, she couldn't sleep in anymore.

She used to wake up at nine or ten in the morning, but now she had to wake up two hours earlier.

Today, the Daimyo of the Land of Fire happened to arrive, so she had been busy all morning and even had breakfast with the Daimyo's family.

"I discovered an extremely special ninja in the Anbu."

Kitazawa's expression became serious.

"Oh?"

Tsunade crossed her long legs and asked with interest, "How special?"

"A Wood Release ninja."

Kitazawa said in a deep voice.

"How could there be a Wood Release ninja in the Anbu?"

Tsunade couldn't help but be stunned and asked subconsciously.

Shizune, standing behind her, was also full of surprise.

"Lady Tsunade, has the Hidden Leaf Village conducted Wood Release experiments?"

Kitazawa didn't answer directly but asked in return.

"There were indeed, but because the losses were too great, they were stopped by the old man."

Tsunade couldn't help but frown and asked, "Could there be a survivor?"

"There is a survivor, but not from that Wood Release experiment."

Kitazawa explained, "After that Wood Release experiment, Orochimaru and Danzo Shimura conducted another one."

Tsunade was stunned.

Danzo Shimura and Orochimaru had also conducted Wood Release experiments?

She suddenly realized.

Orochimaru's defection might be related to this Wood Release experiment.

"How come I didn't know?"

Tsunade's face darkened, and she said with dissatisfaction, "The old man actually kept it from me!"

Logically speaking, this survivor should have been in the Root.

But now that he was in the Anbu, there was only one possibility: Hiruzen Sarutobi had snatched this survivor back.

After all, he was a Wood Release ninja.

No matter how much Hiruzen Sarutobi indulged Danzo Shimura, he couldn't possibly let him have a Wood Release ninja.

What Tsunade was unhappy about was that Hiruzen Sarutobi had never told her about this.

"I guess he might have been worried that Itachi and Danzo Shimura would come into conflict."

Kitazawa coughed lightly and said, "His name is Tenzo, and he is the only survivor of this Wood Release experiment."

"Haru, go call Tenzo over!"

Tsunade turned her head and shouted toward the door.

"Yes, Hokage-sama."

Haru's voice rang out immediately.

"Lady Tsunade, this is Tenzo's file."

Kitazawa handed Tsunade a scroll.

Tsunade opened it immediately and began to read.

The scroll detailed Tenzo's experiences.

From being an infant injected with Hashirama's cells, to later being rescued by Hiruzen Sarutobi into the Anbu with the help of Kakashi Hatake.

"Danzo Shimura really is heartless!"

A look of anger appeared on Tsunade's face.

Many people died in that Wood Release experiment by Orochimaru and Danzo Shimura.

Only Tenzo survived out of sixty infants.

"I never thought I would see a Wood Release ninja again."

Tsunade closed the scroll, her attitude softened, and she said in a daze.

Wood Release was of great significance to the Hidden Leaf Village, and it was even more special to her.

Because she was the granddaughter of the first Wood Release ninja, Hashirama Senju.

"Lady Tsunade, how do Itachi plan to arrange Tenzo?"

Kitazawa looked at her and asked.

"From the file, his Wood Release seems to be a very ordinary Kekkei Genkai."

Tsunade said thoughtfully.

The scroll listed the Wood Release ninjutsu Tenzo had mastered.

But it didn't include core Wood Release ninjutsu, such as the Wood Human Technique or the Top Transformed Buddha.

Without these Wood Release ninjutsu, Tenzo's strength was far inferior to Hashirama Senju's.

Tsunade now understood why Hiruzen Sarutobi didn't let Tenzo show his face and only let him be an Anbu ninja.

His strength was limited and couldn't bring about a qualitative change for the Hidden Leaf Village.

"His Wood Release was brought about by the First Hokage's cells, after all, not through regular means."

Kitazawa shook his head and said.

There were only two regular ways to obtain a Kekkei Genkai.

One was to synthesize it yourself.

This was extremely difficult; basically, very few people could synthesize a Kekkei Genkai.

Even Hiruzen Sarutobi, who was said to be proficient in all the Hidden Leaf Village's ninjutsu, had failed to synthesize a Kekkei Genkai.

Helpless, he could only study combination ninjutsu.

The other was bloodline inheritance, which came from parents.

Such as the Uchiha clan and the Hyuga clan.

But this kind of inherited Kekkei Genkai wasn't necessarily triggered either.

For example, Yakumo Kurama's illusion Kekkei Genkai belonged to a skipped-generation awakening.

"That's true."

Tsunade nodded and said, "Let him stay in the Anbu then."

Just then, a knock on the door sounded.

"Come in."

Tsunade looked up toward the door.

Haru and Tenzo walked in.

"Itachi are Tenzo?"

Tsunade looked at Tenzo and said, "Take off your mask."

Tenzo immediately complied, took off his mask, and revealed a wooden face.

"Sure enough, a ninja from the Root."

Tsunade shook her head and said.

Tenzo gave her the same feeling as a Root ninja; he looked unapproachable and made people uncomfortable.

"Since Itachi possess Wood Release, use it well."

Tsunade said in a deep voice, "Remember that Wood Release is meant to protect the Hidden Leaf."

"Yes, Hokage-sama."

A flicker of emotion flashed in Tenzo's eyes.

Although he didn't quite understand it now, he still agreed.

"Lady Tsunade, I think Itachi can give him a name."

Kitazawa suggested.

Tenzo wasn't a name; it was just a codename Hiruzen Sarutobi gave him after he joined the Anbu.

Before, when he was in the Root, his codename was 'Kinoe'.

"A name?"

Tsunade thought for a moment and said, "How about Yamato."

"Thank Itachi, Lady Tsunade."

Yamato replied immediately.

Tsunade was the Hokage and Hashirama Senju's granddaughter, so she naturally had the right to name him.

After all, his Wood Release came from Hashirama Senju's cells.

"Itachi may go."

Tsunade waved her hand and said.

After Yamato bowed slightly, he left the Hokage's office with Haru.

"What a pity."

Tsunade withdrew her gaze and said.

She had thought that Hashirama Senju's powerful Wood Release could reappear in the ninja world, but now it seemed unrealistic.

How could Wood Release cultivated from his cells compare to his own Wood Release?

"Lady Tsunade, do Itachi think it's possible for true Wood Release to be synthesized?"

Kitazawa asked casually.

"Theoretically it's possible, but in reality, it's impossible."

Tsunade drank some water and said, "If it could really be synthesized, the old man would have possessed Wood Release long ago."

When it came to understanding the five elements, it would be hard to find a ninja in the entire Hidden Leaf, or even the ninja world, more proficient than Hiruzen Sarutobi.

His Five Elements: Great Elemental Combination Technique already exceeded most Kekkei Genkai in power.
