Yanbai spilled everything he remembered about Hanzō, without bothering to check whether any of it was right.
"Hanzō, you became a 'poison jinchūriki' because of a venomous salamander."
Hanzō's arms were spread and tied to a frame. His face remained expressionless.
Beside them, Shimura Danzō suddenly interrupted calmly. "Excuse me, what exactly is a poison jinchūriki?"
Yanbai glanced at Shimura Danzō as though he were an eager student and explained with a smile, "A salamander's venom sac was implanted near Hanzō's left kidney, turning him into a humanoid biochemical weapon. That makes him a host for poison-a 'poison jinchūriki,' for short."
Shimura Danzō nodded solemnly. "Then what are the distinguishing characteristics of this poison jinchūriki?"
Yanbai patiently explained, "He can release poison gas from his body anytime, anywhere. Even a breath from him can kill someone. That's precisely why Hanzō needs to wear a mask all year round. Otherwise, his breath would be so toxic that he'd poison his teammates to death."
Shimura Danzō nodded with a solemn expression. "I see. Thank you for enlightening us. Please continue."
Yanbai nodded back at Shimura Danzō, as though he had just finished an impromptu practical lesson.
At that moment, Hanzō seemed like a patient afflicted with some bizarre condition.
And Yanbai was Hanzō's attending physician, leading a group of medical interns as they gathered around this unusual patient, analyzing his symptoms, answering questions, and delivering a lecture.
Yanbai said, "Thanks to his outstanding Taijutsu and Water Release, along with the power granted by the venom sac inside him, Hanzō quickly distinguished himself and became Amegakure's village chief."
At the words "village chief," everyone exchanged glances.
While it was perfectly reasonable to call the head of a village its chief, it sounded so lame.
Surely Amegakure's leader deserved to be called the Amekage
