At the thought of Tsunade playing with mud in the future, Aokiji felt that it might be better to stick with the original direction of events...
It seemed that developing Wood Release required Wood Release + Earth Release + Asura's Chakra.
Using Uchiha Madara as a reference, he had directly transplanted a small piece of Hashirama's flesh onto his wound and drawn out Asura's Chakra. In theory, stuffing a small chunk of flesh into Tsunade might work too.
But that would involve scraping cells off Senju Hashirama's corpse, so it was better not to think about it.
Aokiji shook his head and tossed those messy thoughts aside. Whether Tsunade could develop Wood Release would depend on her own fate.
Elder Itachi asked, "Why are you asking about this out of nowhere?"
"I was thinking, the First Hokage's Wood Release was so powerful. If one day someone from the Uchiha Clan could fuse Wood Release and possess the power of Konoha's two founders at once, wouldn't that be incredible?"
"It's a bold idea, but unfortunately, Hashirama was an extremely special existence. Even if an ordinary person successfully combined Water Release and Earth Release to create a Kekkei Genkai, what they produced probably wouldn't be Wood Release." The elder smiled. "Stop letting your mind wander and focus on cultivating your Kekkei Genkai."
Aokiji asked him some cultivation-related questions. "I heard there's a ninjutsu that can use Chakra to control objects. Is that true?"
Elder Itachi gave a hum of affirmation.
Elder Itachi was highly knowledgeable. Aokiji mentioned the idea of using Ice Release to create snow and imitate Gaara, asking whether it was feasible.
Elder Itachi pondered for a moment. "It sounds somewhat similar to how Magnet Release is used. It's a good idea, but it has many drawbacks."
"Many drawbacks?"
"Snow
