The final aspect was Light Style.

Light Style was, in essence, chakra led by Physical Energy, a special form of energy possessing tremendous vitality, and the talent and affinity Genjo had for Light Style was simply outrageously high.

If he later paired him with the Pinnacle of Medicine talent, then Genjo’s accomplishments in Medical Ninjutsu would directly surpass the main body and make him the true number one in the current Shinobi World.

Taken together, the talents in these five areas each roughly fell somewhere above blue talents but below purple entries.

And the true key was that this was only the performance of a body still in its growth stage. The potential hidden within the first Hokage’s cells had not yet been fully released. As he continued to grow and accumulate strength in the future, each of these talents, including that sensory ability which the second Hokage had mocked as poor for half his life, would likewise have a chance of reaching the Purple Level 2.

This could not help but make Shinichi sigh in admiration; it really was the cells of the God of Shinobi.

From the start, there were talents in five areas, and compared to how the Adamantine Monkey Clan bloodline of Isshin had granted only two aspects, strength and defense, Genjo was indeed far richer in the scope of its talents, and its upper limit for growth was also higher.

The strength and defense granted to Isshin by the Adamantine Monkey Clan bloodline were certainly powerful, but that felt more like a purely physical kind of strength. In contrast, Genjo’s talents, whether the self-repairing vitality and powerful keen perception, or the affinities for Earth Style and Water Style, or the creative potential of Light Style, all leaned more toward a diversified path of growth.

Even though the Bronze Head and Iron Arms mechanism of Isshin was exceptional and gave him an innate advantage in direct clashes, Genjo’s Wood Style was equally capable of offense and defense, of creation and restraint, and, in terms of flexibility, was even superior.

After completing the initial inspection, Shinichi stepped forward once more, lightly patted Genjo on the shoulder, and began assigning talents in full.

A moment later, a brand-new panel appeared before his eyes.

[Name: Genjo]

[Occupation: Jonin, Saint Swordsman]

[Talents: Omitted...]

At present, only these two occupations were available in the occupations slot, so he could only assign Jonin and Saint Swordsman for now. Once the monk occupation was officially unlocked in the future, he could simply replace the Saint Swordsman then.

That said, the moderate boost to base physical attributes provided by Saint Swordsman was still quite practical at this stage.

As for the talents, every single one had been carefully selected by Shinichi.

There was no need to elaborate on talents such as Master, which enhanced all fields, Pinnacle of Medicine, which applied to Light Style, or talents like Splitting Rocks and Cleaving Gold and Bronze Skin and Iron Bones, which directly increased base physical qualities.

As for Incarnation of Wind, although Shinichi had no intention of letting Genjo display too much skill in Wind Style before the public, the flight and levitation abilities brought by Wind Style were simply too important to him.

Moreover, the ability to fly carried immense significance for a preacher. A monk who could stand in the air and walk upon the wind would naturally possess a transcendent, sacred aura.

And as for the Cultivation Lord, which seemed useless and incapable of increasing combat power at all?

"Then let’s test it."

A thought moved through Shinichi’s mind, and he controlled Genjo to begin using Wood Style.

There were no hand seals, and like the first Hokage from his memory, the young monk merely brought his palms together lightly, and in that instant, a vast surge of life force burst forth from between those clasped hands.

Countless emerald vines and thick tree trunks burst from the ground like living creatures awakening, winding, climbing, and intertwining. Within the span of a few breaths, they had already propped up a small forest inside the laboratory.

The entire process was so smooth that it is unbelievable, as though these Wood Style creations had originally been part of Genjo’s body. They recognized him, drew close to him, and actively responded to his every thought.

"As expected!"

At the sight of it, the corners of Shinichi’s lips curved upward.

The reason he had deliberately assigned the Cultivation Lord talent to Genjo was precisely that Wood Style was, in essence, a kind of plant. He had wondered whether some sort of marvelous chemical reaction might occur between Wood Style and Cultivation Lord.

And now, the answer had already been laid out before his eyes in plain view.

Cultivation Lord did not directly increase the power of Genjo’s Wood Style, but it granted the clone a level of control over Wood Style so precise that it was almost instinctive.

Because of that, although this was Genjo’s very first time using Wood Style, its precision and flexibility were astonishingly high. One could even say it had directly reached the realm of doing as he pleased.

"Then let’s try that as well."

Another thought moved through Shinichi’s mind, and he controlled Genjo to switch to the growth-stimulation technique, locking onto an ordinary potted plant in one corner of the laboratory.

In an instant, the seedling, no bigger than a palm, began to grow wildly beneath Genjo’s hand.

Its stem shot upward at a speed visible to the naked eye, and leaf after leaf unfurled, shifting from tender green to deep green, from sparse to luxuriant.

In just a few dozen seconds, it completed a full growth cycle that would have taken months or even years in nature.

Seeing this, the curve of Shinichi’s lips deepened further.

........

The next day, as soon as the third Hokage arrived at work, he picked up a document Shinichi had submitted and placed it on his desk.

That fast?

The third Hokage was secretly surprised. He had already known that Shinichi had gone to that classified laboratory the very same day, and had remained there until very late before leaving.

And now, after only a single night, the report had already been delivered?

With a mixture of curiosity and anticipation, he opened the first document, only to discover that it was not an experimental progress report at all, but an application form.

In the application, Shinichi requested access to every Ninjutsu scroll, experience note, and training journal related to the first Hokage’s Wood Style. Not only that, but he was also willing to take anything related to Water Style and Earth Style; however much there was, he wanted it all.

At first, the third Hokage felt puzzled. The experiment had only just been restarted, and there was not even the faintest sign of a Wood Style awakener yet, so why was Shinichi already in such a hurry to consult Ninjutsu scrolls?

Shouldn’t these things be requested only after the experiment had produced some preliminary results, at the very least, after it had been confirmed that someone could withstand the first Hokage’s cells and was qualified to use Wood Style?

But very quickly, he realized something. As the professor of Ninjutsu, the third Hokage’s understanding of Ninjutsu principles could be considered among the very best in the entire Shinobi World.

After only a little thought, he understood Shinichi’s line of reasoning.
