Naruto: Starting with Creating a Genius Persona

Chapter 211 The eldest disciple is the reincarnation of the first generation, and the second disciple is the reincarnation of the second generation.

Two days later, in the Hokage's office.

Tsunade once again acted as a hands-off manager, ostensibly to "let Shinichi familiarize himself with the duties and procedures of instructing Jonin in advance," but she also dumped the tedious task of writing mission reports on Shinichi.

Even the task of giving a formal verbal report to the Hokage at this moment was also passed on.

"...This concludes the entire process and final result of our mission to the Craftsman's Village in the Land of Craftsmen."

After the report ended, the office fell into a brief silence.

Behind the desk, the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, listened quietly to Shinichi's detailed account and revealed an extremely kind smile.

"I never expected that Takumi Village would suffer such a mishap. Fortunately, you arrived in time and acted decisively. You not only maintained the cooperative relationship between Konoha and Takumi Village and ensured the supply of important strategic materials, but also helped our friendly village stabilize the situation. You did a great job. Thank you all for your hard work."

"Based on the nature of this incident, the scope involved, and the final outcome, your mission level has been upgraded to S."

Level 1, right?

S-rank mission!

Upon hearing this, Shinichi and Tsunade reacted calmly, while Shizune and Kurenai, standing behind them, showed surprise and excitement. The two quickly exchanged a glance, both seeing excitement in each other's eyes.

"Now that the mission has been successfully completed, you can all go and get some rest."

"Yes, Lord Hokage!" the four replied in unison, then bowed and left the Hokage's office.

After Team 10 left, the Third Hokage's gaze returned to the table, and he picked up an application document regarding "Yamato's" identity registration.

The text briefly describes the child's origins: a chance encounter on a street, an unnamed homeless child, named by Shinichi and taken home.

The Third Hokage glanced at the report casually, put it down, and instructed the staff member standing beside him: "Go and officially enter this child's file into the village's household registration. Arrange related welfare and basic education according to standard procedures."

Generally speaking, outsiders who want to register their household in Konoha need to undergo relatively rigorous identity verification, background checks, and even a period of observation.

Even children are no exception, but the procedures will be slightly relaxed depending on their age.

However, since the Third Hokage was a child brought back by Shinichi, he didn't bother with those tedious checks and placed extraordinary trust in him.

Outside the Hokage Building.

As the Jonin instructor of Team 10, Tsunade seemed to suddenly remember something before disbanding the team and said, "By the way, the Chunin Exams are next month. I know you're a Jonin, not really suited for this kind of exam, but the Chunin Exams are usually in groups of three. You'll have to find me a suitable teammate to play with these two little Ys."

"The leaders will form a team to participate in the Chunin Exams."

She paused for a moment, then added, "As for the person, you can decide for yourself, as long as they are reliable."

"I understand, Tsunade-sensei."

"Alright, that's up to you then. Dismissed!"

A moment later, west of Konoha Village, at the orphanage.

"That's roughly the situation, Dean. I'm entrusting this child to your care."

"Don't worry, Shinichi, I'll take good care of this child."

"Then I'll have to trouble you, Dean." Shinichi bowed slightly.

"No trouble at all, no trouble at all. You're too kind, child. Come back and visit more often when you have time."

"I will, Dean," Shinichi promised, gently patting Yamato's shoulder and whispering a few more words to him before turning and leaving the dean's office.

Stepping out of the orphanage, the afternoon sun was quite dazzling. Shinichi walked slowly along the familiar street towards his home.

Soil and water.

As he walked, Shinichi was also thinking about Yamato's situation.

During the two days he returned to Konoha, he privately conducted some basic ninja tests on Yamato, such as whether he could refine chakra and the attributes of chakra. The test results also piqued Shinichi's interest.

Yamato was born with both earth and water chakra natures.

Shinichi even speculated that Yamato might have been born with the Yang Release attribute, but the current chakra test paper used in the ninja world is not yet able to detect the more hidden and special attributes such as Yin Release and Yang Release.

This discovery also prompted some associations and speculations in Shinichi's mind.

Leaving aside those cases that require the Sharingan's Yin Release power to force balance or fusion, such as Uchiha Madara, Uchiha Obito, and Shimura Danzo.

In the original timeline's first human cell experiment, why was only the young Yamato the only one to survive and ultimately successfully and stably inherit the Wood Release power of the First Hokage, Hashirama Senju?

According to Yamato's own recollection, it was his "strong will to survive" that allowed him to miraculously survive and gain power.

But is it really enough to have a strong enough "will to survive" to succeed?

Didn't the other dozens of children who were also chosen as test subjects have a desire for life? Didn't they want to live?

Even earlier, in the first cell transplantation experiment conducted on adult ninjas, there were many experienced, determined, and battle-tested Chunin and Jonin volunteers. Could their willpower be weaker than that of a child who is only a few years old?

But the result?

Without exception, they all failed, turning into twisted trees or collapsing and dying.

Therefore, a strong will to survive may be an important psychological factor, but it is by no means the only one, and may not even be the most decisive condition.

Earth and water!

Soil and nutrients.

Thinking of this, Shinichi seemed to be deep in thought. Wood Release is a bloodline limit created by the fusion of water and earth, or even water and earth yang properties.

So, in order to successfully accept, integrate, and generate the power of Wood Release, is it necessary to possess these two or even three chakra natures?

Even with acquired skills, one might still fall short; perhaps what's most suitable is innate talent?

Of course, this may also involve more hidden conditions that Shinichi is currently unaware of, complex physical compatibility, and even some inexplicable factors called fate or chance.

Regardless, Yamato, the only individual from the original timeline to survive the Wood Release experiment, will undoubtedly provide Shinichi with tremendous help and inspiration for his future research on Wood Release.

For Shinichi, studying the bloodline of this world in the future is inevitable. Over the years, through the operation of his own word system, he has also discovered that external cognition seems to only help him generate and upgrade words that refer to certain general traits or abilities.

For example, "Splitting Stones and Dividing Gold" represents great strength, "Copper Skin and Iron Bones" represents high defense, and "Light as the Wind" represents fast speed.

However, this system seems unable to directly generate entries specific to a particular ninja clan's bloodline based on external perceptions.

Otherwise, given the terrifying physique, amazing regenerative ability, and chakra reserves he has demonstrated over the years...

Even if the outside world knows that he has no blood relation to the Senju clan, there are definitely a lot of people who suspect that he is related to the Senju clan, including many top experts.

If bloodline attributes could truly be generated, he should now at least possess a blue-level "Thousand Hands Bloodline" attribute.

But the truth is, that's not the case.

Therefore, if Shinichi wants to obtain the power of these bloodlines, he can only rely on his own research.

He once considered using the "clone" keyword to cheat.

For example, by deeply studying his own clone, he tried to find a way to perfectly integrate the domineering physical characteristics of the Ape Demon clan into his own body.

After all, Isshin is essentially another version of himself that perfectly integrates the bloodline characteristics of the Ape Demon clan, and theoretically should be the best research sample.

However, when he actually started trying it, he found that the cells of the heart, at the microscopic level, were not fundamentally different from the cells of the true monolith in terms of basic genetic material.

No matter how he analyzed and compared, he could not reverse-engineer or analyze the mysterious bloodline factor that could cause a qualitative change in the body from the cells of Yixin.

It was as if that fusion occurred at a level that transcended conventional matter and energy, and was more akin to the rules given by concepts. With Shinichi's current knowledge, reserves, and research methods, he was far from being able to comprehend this level.

"Well then, before that, let's find a way to properly train Yamato."

Shinichi thought to himself that although Yamato survived the Wood Release experiment in the original timeline, there was a great deal of luck involved, and his ultimate achievement may have been limited by this.

I believe I can do better.

First, we must strengthen his physical foundation and nurture and enhance the life energy (yang) within him.

Secondly, it strengthens their understanding and control of earth and water attribute chakra.

Then we'll take some of his cells and test their fusion with the original cells to see what the effect will be.

By that time, Shinichi's martial arts, medical skills, and even his expertise as a "gourmet" would likely have already reached the purple quality, representing his respective fields, thanks to his continuous efforts and accumulated experience.

We will surely be able to observe more fundamental mysteries from that microscopic cellular warfare, and thus deduce a safer and more efficient fusion path.

Thinking about this, Shinichi suddenly found it interesting; he seemed to be planning to systematically train another First Hokage.

He had already decided to take another person, Yakushi Kabuto, as his first disciple.

He was already a genius with top-notch medical and research talents, and his future talents in forbidden technique research, human modification, and intelligence analysis made him, in a sense, a second Hokage.

The eldest disciple is the reincarnation of the first generation, and the second disciple is the reincarnation of the second generation.

So, who will be the third generation?

Shinichi smiled slightly, temporarily sealing this slightly wicked thought in his heart.

That evening, in front of a simple detached house in the west of Konoha Village.

Maruhoshi Kosuke had just returned home after completing his daily patrol and was preparing to cook when he heard a light knock at the door.

"Who could it be at this time?"

Kosuke wiped his hands with some confusion, walked to the door, and opened it. The person standing outside made him pause slightly, then a gentle smile appeared on his face: "It's Shinichi? Come in and sit down. Have you eaten? I'm about to cook, want to eat together later?"

Standing outside the door was Shinichi. He had not only arrived, but he was also carrying a rather heavy-looking food box in each hand.

"Senpai Kosuke, excuse me."

Shinichi smiled and nodded in greeting. He followed Kosuke into the living room, placed the food box on the low table, and said as he opened the lid, "I haven't eaten yet. I brought some freshly made dishes with me. Why don't we try some together?"

A moment later, after several rounds of meals and in a relaxed atmosphere, Shinichi put down his chopsticks, his expression becoming more formal. He looked at Kosuke and said, "Senior Kosuke, actually, besides visiting you today, there's something else I'd like to ask you for a favor."

"Oh? What is it? Tell me, as long as this old body of mine can still help, I will do my best." Kosuke put down his teacup and looked at Shinichi seriously.

He has always been willing to help this junior, whom he has watched grow up and admires from the bottom of his heart.

"That's right, Kosuke-senpai."

Shinichi carefully considered his words before speaking, "Next month, the village will be holding the Chunin Exams. My teammates, Shizune and Kurenai, plan to participate this time. This is an important opportunity for them to be promoted to Chunin. According to the exam rules, they need to be in groups of three."

It differs slightly from the original spacetime trajectory.

Originally, most of Shinichi's classmates, such as Sarutobi Asuma, Might Guy, and Genma Shiranui, would have taken the Chunin Exams at the age of eleven, which means they would not have participated until next year.

But perhaps because Shinichi's outstanding achievements on the front lines had a strong inspirational and exemplary effect, many of his peers, along with their instructors, felt that they could give it a try and unanimously planned to sign up for the competition this year.

However, one thing remains the same: Kakashi Hatake, who had already been promoted to Chunin, was still arranged by his teacher Minato Namikaze as a formal member of Team 7, just like in the original timeline, to participate in the Chunin Exams with Obito Uchiha and Rin Nohara, who were still Genin.

From the perspective of strict examination regulations, this is actually inappropriate.

But Konoha is, after all, a place that values ​​bonds. Since this is an independent exam organized by the village, and most of the participants are genin of the same grade or similar age, rather than a joint chunin exam involving other villages, the rules have room for flexibility under the banner of training teams and cultivating bonds.

Thus, with the tacit approval of the Third Hokage, the matter of "Chunin Kakashi participating in the Chunin Promotion Exams" was handled on a special basis.

But Kakashi is Kakashi, and Shinichi is Shinichi.

Kakashi was ultimately just a Chunin and wouldn't participate in the final exam, while Shinichi was a genuine Jonin, the Crimson Flame Shinichi who broke through the Raikage's strongest shield and became famous throughout the ninja world.

If he were to bring two young girls to the Chunin Exams again, it wouldn't be a special case; it would be utterly discrediting the Chunin Exams system and becoming a laughingstock throughout the ninja world.

Kosuke Maruboshi was the third teammate Shinichi was looking for for Shizune and Kurenai Yuhi to compete in the tournament.

Although it's still too much for Maruboshi Kosuke's strength, at least he's a genin on the surface, isn't he?

Maruhoshi Kosuke listened quietly, then slowly nodded: "Okay."

"Then thank you very much, senior."

Shinichi smiled slightly, then said, "Also, there's something else I need to trouble you with, senior..."

Meanwhile, in the Land of Water, in the Hidden Mist Village.

"Then, good luck."

After both sides finalized the cooperation details, the Third Mizukage smiled slightly and instructed a ninja standing beside him: "See Jonin Yekura off for me. Make sure she leaves the Land of Water safely and smoothly."

"Yes, Lord Mizukage," the ninja named Nakayoshi replied in a deep voice.

He wore a ninja hat, red-lensed glasses, and strange blue markings on both sides of his face. He was burly and exuded a powerful aura, clearly a ninja of considerable skill.

After Yekura and Chukichi left, the smile on the Third Mizukage's face slowly faded.

"Go and call Yagura here."

"Yes."

A moment later, a petite figure walked in with steady steps.

The newcomer was only the height of a teenager, even younger than many newly graduated genin. He had a fair and delicate baby face, short green hair, purple pupils, and a tear-like mark under his left eye.

Yagura, a type of citrus.

Judging by appearance alone, anyone would assume that this is a gifted child prodigy, no older than twelve.

However, he was actually twenty-five years old, a mature, experienced, and powerful Jonin. (Note:)

His naturally deceptively youthful baby face and petite frame make him appear unusually young.

"Lord Mizukage, you wanted to see me?"

The Third Mizukage sized up Yagura before him, a hint of satisfaction flashing in his eyes, before slowly speaking, "Yagura..."
