Naruto: Starting as Tsunade's Desk Mate

Page 26

An Yan nodded, stood up to take his leave, but Hiruzen Sarutobi stopped him, pointing to the Chunin vest on the table and saying:

"An Yan, from today onwards, you are a Chunin."

An Yan raised an eyebrow. He had unexpectedly gained something. Not bad. He took the things and left. Behind him, Danzo and Hiruzen Sarutobi started arguing again.

"Sakumo Hatake is my disciple. Even if he joins the Anbu, he should join my Root. Hiruzen, you've gone too far!"

"Sakumo Hatake's heart is bright, and he is not suited to a dark environment, which would dull his sword."

The two were arguing loudly, but Koharu and Homura acted as if they didn't see it and continued working on their own.

An Yan's expression remained unchanged upon hearing the voice, and he left the Hokage's office without pausing in his steps.

Has the Root organization already been established? That's quite early. Does Konoha have any dirty work to do right now?

An Yan fell into deep thought. He remembered that the Root seemed to abduct various children from all over the world through a form of soft kidnapping, then pair them up to grow up together, and then fight each other after they reached a certain level. The one who survived became a member of the Root.

Isn't this just plain insane? If Danzo hadn't placed cursed marks on all the Root members later on, he wouldn't have been able to wait for Sasuke to kill him; he would have killed himself instead.

Speaking of which, the current Root organization is in its early stages of development. I wonder if it's as dark as it seems? An Yan pondered, feeling that he shouldn't have any illusions about Danzo. That old man was a pure-blooded villain.

Looks like I'll have to find some time to report this to Tobirama. Wait a minute, isn't Tobirama the original "King of Smash"? Would it even be useful to tell him?

Forget it, let's focus on developing our strength first. Once World War II breaks out, we'll figure out a way to kill Danzo.

An Yan returned to the Konoha Technology Development Department while pondering.

Six Jonin are already waiting for An Yan here.

Upon seeing this, Tobirama Senju immediately handed the wooden talisman to An Yan.

"Don't disturb the other researchers' experiments, go to your own territory."

An Yan nodded and led the six Jonin directly to his laboratory.

With a wave of their hand, the surrounding scenery changed instantly, and the group arrived directly in the bamboo forest of the domain space.

"Wow, is this the secret base? How amazing!"

The Jonin looked around with curiosity.

"It seems to be another dimension?"

A Jonin performed hand seals for summoning, but failed to summon a summoning beast.

"This space is exclusive; only those invited by the space's owner can enter."

A high-ranking ninja was analyzing the situation there.

An Yan cleared his throat.

"Let's introduce ourselves, everyone."

The Jonin snapped out of their daze, glanced at An Yan, exchanged glances with each other, and began to introduce themselves.

"Hello, little teacher, I am Sarutobi Shun from the Sarutobi family."

"Hello teacher, I am Sarutobi Momiji."

"Hello, little teacher, I'm Sarutobi Arashi."

"Hello teacher, I am Shimura Toru from the Shimura family."

"Hello, teacher, I am Shimura Sakuya."

"Hello teacher, I am Shimura Teshin."

An Yan said there were too many people to remember, but it was probably three people from one clan.

Since they were all from the Sarutobi and Shimura clans, An Yan had no intention of building connections and immediately began providing solid instruction.

These people are able to become Jonin, their talent is already beyond the reach of ordinary ninjas. After An Yan carefully explained the details, they already knew how to operate. What follows is just the process of humans taming chakra.

An Yan was too lazy to look closely and walked to the side to begin his own cultivation.

Everyone was busy with their own things, but the atmosphere was still quite harmonious.

An Yan practiced the Sound Release technique he had developed on his own. As the flute music played, he transformed his chakra into ripples that spread outwards, giving him complete control over everything around him. This technique was not only a teleportation skill, but also a detection skill.

However, this technique has its own drawback: sound. The speed of sound is 340 meters per second. This speed is acceptable among chunin and genin, but it is not enough against jonin.

Fortunately, sound travels in a circle, so the entire range of the circle represents the distance that can be traveled, which provides a working space.

The group quickly finished their training for the day. Unless they mastered Wood Release and wanted to learn other Wood Release techniques, An Yan would not see these people again.

An Yan was about to see these people off.

However, two people stood in front of An Yan, both of whom seemed to be leaders of their respective clans.

The two had been getting along well before, but now they seemed to be competing with each other. They stood in front of An Yan, staring at each other, their gazes almost sparking.

An Yan raised an eyebrow slightly. What's going on? Is there another program?

Finally, Sarutobi Momiji from the Sarutobi family took out a scroll from her sleeve and respectfully handed it to An Yan.

"Thank you for your guidance, little teacher. This is a small token of our gratitude from the Sarutobi clan."

Wow, what an unexpected bonus!

An Yan glanced at Sarutobi Koyo, accepted the gift directly, and simply said;

"You're too kind. Please don't do it again next time."

Shimura Sakuya of the Shimura clan also stepped forward and respectfully handed a scroll to An Yan.

“Teacher, this is a gift of gratitude from my Shimura clan.”

"Hey, how embarrassing is this."

An Yan accepted the gifts with a smile, seemingly enjoying being a teacher.

Chapter 50 Boost Pool Update

An Yan began a leisurely working life.

He spends his days at work guiding the Jonin of Konoha in their Wood Release training, occasionally scribbling Inuyasha's manga, and learning various ninjutsu techniques given to him by Jonin from different clans. He lives a fairly comfortable life.

Until this day, An Yan's wish pool was updated.

Meteor Butterfly Sword UP banner.

An Yan's wish system up pool has always been filled with various games he played in his previous life. However, some of these games are not good enough in the Naruto world. For example, Meteor, an old-fashioned martial arts fighting game, would probably only be at the Chunin level at best in the ninja world in terms of its presentation.

An Yan tried drawing a few times and obtained the moves and skills of four types of weapons: knife, gun, sword, and dagger. After trying them out, he found that they were indeed game skills, not martial arts from the martial arts world, and he was greatly disappointed.

An Yan chose to continue researching White Zetsu instead of wasting time on this rate-up banner, as the gacha system was too unpredictable. Mastering White Zetsu meant mastering core technology.

Time flies when you're doing research; seven or eight years have passed in the blink of an eye.

The featured banner is updated once a year, but in recent years it hasn't produced any good items. The main problem is that the featured banner is frustrating. First it was the Grand Theft Auto series, then the Call of Duty series, and all I got were various guns, vehicles, planes, and tanks.

Although shooting ninjas with guns sounds pretty cool, like modern special forces bullying ancient people, An Yan is unwilling to explore the technology tree of firearms unless absolutely necessary. Humans have a strong ability to imitate; once someone starts, others will quickly develop, improve, and upgrade them.

Moreover, firearms were already available in the Tomb Raider banner, and An Yan had already obtained them. He was known as a pistol expert, shotgun expert, and rifle expert. If he wanted, he could easily craft all sorts of firearms by hand.

But as I said before, he doesn't plan to use this unless absolutely necessary. As a beneficiary of supernatural power, bringing it out could easily give rise to other ideas from people like the Daimyo.

My ordinary men can easily kill genin with guns, so why do I need to keep you ninjas?

At that time, the ninja world will no longer be called the ninja world. A war will definitely break out between ordinary people and ninjas. Once the demon of firearms is unleashed, the casualties will not be something that can be solved by the death of tens of thousands of people in the ninja village war.

Vehicles aren't very useful on the ninja world's continent. The roads are usually difficult to navigate, and driving a Lamborghini or something similar could easily result in a crash. Motorcycles, on the other hand, are more practical.

Tanks and the like are not enough to deal with ninjas; they are too cumbersome and slow. Airplanes are okay, as they can carry out air strikes, but that's about it.

However, I have occasionally pulled some good items in recent years, such as the health regeneration from the Call of Duty series' featured banner.

After being injured, as long as you stay still and take a few deep breaths, you will immediately recover. It's an incredibly overpowered ability.

Most importantly, this recovery ability is not caused by accelerated cell division, so An Yan will not have his lifespan shortened as a result.

From another perspective, An Yan could be considered to possess regenerative abilities similar to Hashirama's Sage Mode.

The special ability provided by the Grand Theft Auto series comes from Criminal Intuition in GTA5. When using firearms or driving vehicles, you can enter a bullet-time state for a fairly long duration, enough to finish a battle.

There is also a berserk mode, which reduces the damage taken and increases the user's attack power after entering a special state. An Yan tried it and could only say that it was useless, as the boost to a ninja's attack and defense power was limited.

The others are just some common skills, such as firearms proficiency, driving proficiency, helicopter piloting expertise, hacking skills, etc. They can only be described as useless and cannot be used in the current ninja world. Unless An Yan has a sudden change of heart and wants to explore the tech tree and manually build engines, perhaps he can use this knowledge.

Therefore, An Yan has focused his attention on ninjutsu in recent years. With his bug-like learning ability, he has improved himself in all aspects and steadily increased his combat power every day. Now he can be said to know a little about everything and is a well-rounded warrior.

Sasuke and Naruto grew from genin to Kage level in two and a half years, and An Yan believed that he was no less capable. He should be able to easily take on Danzo one-on-one now.

Konoha Village has also been developing rapidly in recent years. A new batch of graduating genin every year quickly filled the gap in the village's lower and middle ranks lost in the First Shinobi World War, and the fresh blood directly accelerated the village's development.

Putting aside everything else, just in terms of Wood Release ninjas alone, An Yan has personally trained forty or fifty disciples, all of whom are Jonin. And since they also train their own disciples, there are countless more.

An Yan felt that if he were Hiruzen Sarutobi, he would probably be so arrogant that he would be able to take on four countries by himself. He had heard that Danzo seemed to be getting restless.

Over the years, as he has trained more and more apprentices, An Yan's influence has gradually increased, and the medical ninja training plan, which he proposed many years ago, has been put on the agenda.

It's truly a cause for celebration that the students at the Ninja Academy have gained another battlefield first aid training course.

An Yan has finally been promoted to Jonin. Although he hasn't done many missions in the past few years, his strength has been improving rapidly. Tobirama Senju has been watching this closely and recently mentioned it to Hiruzen Sarutobi.

In Hiruzen Sarutobi's eyes, An'yan, Orochimaru, and Hiruko were already considered civilian staff, and were directly positioned as researchers in Konoha.

However, after Tobirama Senju revealed the strength of the three to Hiruzen Sarutobi, Hiruzen Sarutobi changed his mind. Three Jonin, if they were to do missions, how many S-rank and A-rank missions would they be able to complete in a year? This would bring a huge amount of income to the village.

As for the research projects, most of the time scientific research only costs money; there are very few projects that can make money.

Research on Wood Release: White Zetsu can only be conducted internally within Konoha and cannot be sold for profit. Although it is all used for personal gain, the money is spent like water, which is still heartbreaking.

At first, An Yan didn't quite understand why Tobirama Senju was doing this. It seemed like he wanted to kick An Yan and the other two out of the technology research and development department.

But upon further reflection, An Yan understood.

Scientific research is too expensive.

Both Orochimaru's current research into the Reincarnation Technique and Hiruko's research into the Oni-Garashi Technique require a large amount of funding.

After so many years of financial depletion, Tobirama Senju is out of money. In addition, the annual subsidies and allowances from the village are limited and not even enough for Tobirama to develop his own projects.

Not to mention An Yan and his two friends who are big spenders.

So An Yan and the other two were kicked out of the school [crossed out], having completed their studies and graduated.
