"Lord Yoru, do you know what the appearance of Agent Alpha represents?"
After completing all the examinations, Orochimaru, who rarely showed any signs of excitement, revealed a sickly and deranged smile. Uchiha Yoru, standing beside him, immediately responded, "Wood Release?"
"No! You're wrong!" At this moment, Orochimaru directly dismissed his apprentice's answer, but his eyes were filled with fervor as he stared at the precious data in his hands.
"This represents a Bloodline Limit! From nothing to something, Bloodline Limits can be cultivated in ordinary people."
Good grief, looking at Orochimaru, Uchiha Yoru was instantly taken aback. Scientists truly have unpredictable minds.
He had thought Orochimaru wanted to cultivate a batch of Wood Release ninjas, even if it was a weakened version, it would still be Wood Release. But he never expected Orochimaru to be ahead of him, thinking about cultivating various Bloodline Limits.
If Wood Release can be cultivated, what about other Bloodline Limits?
Bloodline Limits! A mysterious existence that has never disappeared in the ninja world. During the Warring States Period, the highest-ranking were the Bloodline Limit clans, representing immense power, followed by the Secret Technique clans.
If this challenge could be overcome, and Bloodline Limits could be cultivated en masse, it would cause a seismic shift in the ninja world.
"Teacher Orochimaru, you mean—"
At this moment, Uchiha Yoru seemed to realize something. Orochimaru nodded enthusiastically, "Exactly! Although Agent Alpha's Wood Release doesn't match the First Hokage's, as long as we can overcome this cultivation challenge, I can create a Bloodline Limit clan myself."
Damn! Uchiha Yoru couldn't help but curse in his heart. How did his mind come back to this? He thought Orochimaru would say he wanted to cultivate all the Bloodline Limits in the ninja world, but it came back to this. Scientists' minds are truly unpredictable.
But on the surface, Uchiha Yoru feigned excitement, "If Teacher Orochimaru can cultivate a few Wood Release ninjas, it will help stabilize the position of the Fifth Hokage."
Uchiha Yoru's excited demeanor made Orochimaru, who was already excited, feel a chill. A look of disappointment flashed in his snake-like eyes. Indeed, their understanding had a gap. How could you think of such a trivial matter?
Relying on a few Wood Release ninjas to become the Fifth Hokage? Is that great? Isn't it greater to create a Bloodline Limit clan by hand? Like the Sage of Six Paths, he would be a god who could create all things.
Two people, two minds, but their thoughts were worlds apart.
Orochimaru, who was clearly excited, suddenly found that no one could share his joy, which was truly frustrating. He couldn't help but wave his hand hoarsely, "Lord Yoru, Agent Alpha will be with me for now. Remember to keep it confidential."
It seemed Orochimaru had obtained Agent Alpha from Danzo. Although Wood Release is rare, Agent Alpha's Wood Release could only be considered a weakened Bloodline Limit compared to the First Hokage's. Therefore, Danzo was willing to part with him.
Or perhaps Danzo and Orochimaru had joined forces to restart the Wood Release project, hoping to cultivate a few more Wood Release ninjas. After all, no one would complain about having more Bloodline Limit ninjas. If another First Hokage-level Wood Release ninja were to appear, wouldn't that be a windfall?
"Lord Orochimaru."
'Agent Alpha,' who had just undergone a thorough examination and had no idea how much blood had been drawn, was now swaying slightly as he got out of bed but still respectfully bowed to Orochimaru.
Orochimaru, who was long accustomed to the brainwashing and training of Root, didn't feel much. He merely waved his hand casually, "Agent Alpha, you've done well. I'll call you if needed."
Clearly, Danzo had assigned Agent Alpha to work under Orochimaru, who was now considered part of Root.
"Yes!"
At this moment, Agent Alpha was numb, like a puppet without feelings, with no plans for his future, merely the most loyal lab rat.
Uchiha Yoru, looking at Agent Alpha and Orochimaru's obsessed expression, began to ponder. If Orochimaru could artificially create Bloodline Limits, then perhaps there were other jutsu that could do the same.
...
Returning to the police department, Uchiha Yoru looked weary. Sitting in his office, leaves occasionally fell from his palm under the desk.
Strangely, these leaves seemed off, as if they had been electrified, and faint arcs of electricity could be seen as they fell.
Uchiha Yoru, who had taken a leaf from a new drawer and held it in his palm, smiled. Clearly, he had felt progress. Indeed, enhancing a specific aspect of his body's talent was equivalent to enhancing his talent.
Before opening his eyes, he was just a decently talented ordinary ninja. After awakening his Sharingan, he clearly felt a significant improvement in his training. What once took a month to increase his chakra capacity now only took ten days after enhancing his body through bloodline awakening. Now, with his two-tomoe Sharingan and further physical enhancements, his training speed had indeed increased, reaching the level of a prodigy.
"Especially in Lightning Nature training, I should be considered a prodigy as well." Uchiha Yoru, speaking to himself, smiled despite his fatigue.
In the ninja world, strength is the foundation. Just having status isn't enough; one must also have matching strength. Similarly, until he could match the power of the First Hokage and Uchiha Madara, who could overpower an entire village alone, he could only blend in with the crowd.
"Teacher Orochimaru, you truly live up to your reputation." Every time he interacted with Orochimaru, he would rearrange his training direction. Indeed, as expected, the scientist of the ninja world had directly analyzed his talent direction.
Orochimaru's training plan was to first focus on enhancing the nature transformation of Lightning Nature, while also strengthening his taijutsu over the next three months. With the Sharingan's enhancement, the speed of learning jutsu was much faster.
Just as Uchiha Yoru was thinking about the training direction Orochimaru had arranged, there was a knock on the office door.
Knock, knock, knock~
"Come in."
The office door opened, and Uchiha Shisui walked in, followed by a female ninja carrying a stack of documents, though she looked rather young.
Uchiha Yoru didn't pay much attention, just smiling at Shisui, "Shisui, what's up?"
Seeing the fatigue in Uchiha Yoru's smile, Shisui felt a deep sense of guilt. His elder brother had taken on too much for the clan.
"Big Brother Yoru, the recruitment for the seventh police squad is complete. Here are the files of all the members."
A thick stack of documents was placed on the table, each containing a ninja's photo, background, and performance records from the ninja academy, along with their instructors.
"Big Brother Yoru, this is Yūhi Kurenai, who is skilled in handling documents." Uchiha Shisui smiled, introducing the female ninja behind him. He had personally selected her to lighten his elder brother's workload.
