Chapter 50: Three Types of Kekkei Genkai! Researching Wood Release!
In the following days, Orochimaru and his team witnessed firsthand how fast Ishihara could train using a hundred Shadow Clones simultaneously. It was truly astonishing!

Another Three Days Later
He mastered the nature transformation of Lightning Release chakra.
In just half a month, Ishihara mastered the nature transformation of all five chakra types! And he had already reached the level where he could create Kekkei Genkai.
Orochimaru was beyond shocked; he was numb. Having a terrifying level of comprehension was one thing, but training at such an incredible speed? It defied all reason! Yet even with this, Ishihara wasn't satisfied. He began training in chakra form manipulation.
Another Fifteen Days Later
"Finally completed!" Ishihara exclaimed, his excitement growing as he looked at the Thunder Spear that had formed in his hand.
[You have conducted extensive training in the nature and form transformation of Lightning Release chakra, creating the secret technique: Thunder Spear!]
[You have conducted extensive training in the nature and form transformation of Fire Release chakra, creating the secret technique: Flame Blade!]
[You have conducted extensive training in the nature and form transformation of Water Release chakra, creating the secret technique: Spiral Water Blade!]
Within fifteen days, Ishihara had completed his training in chakra form manipulation for all five elements. He had also met the requirements to perform Kekkei Genkai!
More importantly, during this training, he successfully created several powerful secret techniques, an unexpected surprise that delighted him.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the forest, by the lake, Orochimaru and his team, including Kabuto and Suigetsu, gathered.
Suigetsu, somewhat distracted, was training. "It's been half a month already. Do you think Lord Ishihara has finished his training?"
Jūgo nodded confidently, "Of course. There's nothing that Lord Ishihara can't accomplish."
Suigetsu twitched, nearly losing his cool. "But we're talking about the form manipulation of five chakra types!"
Suddenly, Orochimaru stopped his training and lay down on the ground. Kabuto and the others were shocked. Knowing Orochimaru’s dedication, they were all deeply impressed by his diligence, so it was surprising to see him resting now.
"Lord Orochimaru, are you alright?" Kabuto asked with concern, as he had a close bond with Orochimaru.
Orochimaru sighed, looking at Kabuto and the others with a hint of melancholy. "Do you know how long it took me, from when I first began training to mastering the nature and form transformation of all five chakra types? Nearly thirty years!"
"And Ishihara did it in just one month!"
"Heh, thirty years versus one month..." Orochimaru muttered, almost in self-pity.
Kabuto and the others were at a loss for words. Even just hearing it made them feel a bit hopeless. The gap was so vast that it extinguished any desire to catch up, leaving them disinterested in training altogether.
Exchanging glances, they lay down beside Orochimaru, feeling equally disheartened.
Self-Pitying Youths +5!

Ishihara was unaware of Orochimaru’s situation. Lately, his training had been intense and non-stop, leaving him no time or energy for anything else. Even with a hundred Shadow Clones, the burden was heavy, giving him no room to focus on other matters.
After completing the foundational chakra training, he finally checked the intelligence reports left by Mei Terumi. He skipped the details and went straight to the results.
Yagura had temporarily retained his position as Mizukage to stabilize the situation in Kirigakure, while Mei Terumi was appointed as the Mizukage’s assistant. Yagura’s authority had been heavily stripped away, rendering him almost powerless. Mei Terumi would remain in the village to handle various affairs, thus stabilizing the Hidden Mist Village for the time being.
Having reviewed this, Ishihara resumed his training. This time, he focused on Kekkei Genkai.
For someone who had created these secret techniques, mastering Kekkei Genkai after learning the basics of chakra manipulation was surprisingly easy.
"Lava Release!"
Ishihara extended his palm, gathering chakra within it before initiating the transformation for Kekkei Genkai. Instantly, the chakra in his hand turned into a liquid form of Lava Release. Mastering Lava Release was that simple!
Next was Boil Release! Then Ice Release! There was no difficulty whatsoever. He easily mastered all three Kekkei Genkai.
Hiss!
Suddenly, a sharp inhaling sound caught his attention. Ishihara frowned and turned around, only to see Orochimaru and his team staring at him in shock.
"Sensei, what brings you here?" he asked.
Orochimaru and his team stiffened, then awkwardly turned and left without saying a word.
"It’s just Kekkei Genkai. It makes sense that Ishihara mastered it quickly," one of them muttered.
"Yeah, even something like Ice Release—Haku mastered it naturally."
"It’s just three Kekkei Genkai. No need to be surprised."
Hearing their odd discussions, Ishihara shook his head, thinking they must have been training too hard.
"Finally, I can take a break from training!"
Ishihara exhaled deeply, feeling a sense of relaxation wash over him. Then, excitement began to build within him. He was about to embark on a new research project—a Kekkei Genkai that would further enhance his power: Wood Release!
Eagerly, Ishihara entered a newly constructed building nearby. This was a temporary base Orochimaru had built over the past month, fully equipped with all the necessary facilities. In the laboratory, Ishihara felt a rush of anticipation as he pulled out Obito’s severed arm and began his research.
First, he conducted a microscopic examination at the cellular level. "Even though these cells are from a body tissue cultured from the First Hokage’s cells using White Zetsu, their vitality and the amount of life energy they contain far exceed those of ordinary ninja cells."
"And just like with the Hydrification Technique, these cells also seem to have been eroded by Wood Release!"
"There’s also a large amount of Yang Release chakra, which is unmistakable even without specific detection. No wonder the life energy is so dense..."
As he recorded each piece of data, Ishihara gradually uncovered the secrets hidden within White Zetsu’s cells. When he ran out of new discoveries, he proceeded to the next step.
"Life Chain!"
Swish!
Ishihara injected his chakra into Obito’s severed arm!
