Medical Knowledge Acquired!

As he left the Hokage Building,

an Anbu wearing an animal mask appeared before Tang Ping and the others.

"This is a Secret Pill!"

"This is a Chakra Refinement Secret Technique!"

"And these are borrowing credentials. You can use them to borrow related books from the Hospital Library!"

He handed the items to the three of them separately.

Only after they had put everything away did he remind them,

"Neither the secret technique nor the knowledge may be taught to anyone else!"

His icy tone made it clear that he was not joking.

It was precisely because the major ninja villages valued such things so highly that Ninjutsu leaks were truly rare.

After delivering his warning, the Anbu ninja turned and left.

"I'll head to the hospital first!"

Tang Ping waved the credential in his hand and left.

Medical knowledge was not Medical Ninjutsu. Naturally, it could not possibly be written on a single scroll; it required systematic study.

The hospital!

It was one of Konoha's money-making tools.

Many nobles and merchants came here because of its reputation.

It was the contributions of those people that allowed Konoha to train so many Medical Ninja.

Every fully qualified Medical Ninja was worth far more than an equal weight of gold. Even on the battlefield, Medical Ninja generally stayed in the main camp or worked in the rear, with people assigned to protect them.

Mind you, Tang Ping had not decided to learn Medical Ninjutsu on a whim. It was because he had learned his Chakra natures.

Earth, Water, Fire, and Yang!

Though he was far inferior to all-nature talents like the Third Hokage or Kakashi, he still had considerable potential for growth.

Yang nature!

That was what gave Tang Ping the confidence to learn Medical Ninjutsu.

Without Yang nature, it was simply impossible to learn Medical Ninjutsu.

Compared to the five major natures, Yin and Yang natures were far rarer.

Most members of the Uchiha Clan possessed Yin nature, while the Senju Clan had the most Yang-nature users.

However, the Senju Clan was now practically extinct, so there were not many people with it left.

If not for this limitation, then no matter how difficult or costly Medical Ninjutsu was to learn, even Konoha, the foremost of the Five Great Ninja Villages, would not have had only around a hundred Medical Ninja.

Before long!

Tang Ping arrived before a long, enormous building with the character "Medical" above its entrance.

Villagers could be seen coming and going from time to time.

The pungent smell of disinfectant immediately made it clear what sort of place this was.

It could only be said that, in terms of medical conditions alone, Konoha was unquestionably the strongest.

Even the capital of the Land of Fire had medical conditions far inferior to this place.

It was not a matter of hardware!

Its software simply could not compare.

Because there could not possibly be Medical Ninja there.

When it came to Medical Ninjutsu, Konoha held an overwhelming lead, because this was a field organized and pioneered by Tsunade.

Tang Ping soon found an Administrative Ninja.

Administrative Ninja!

They were ninja who specialized in administrative work. Some of them did not even have Chakra, and that was not unusual.

If he had been able to slack off as planned and passed the assessment, Tang Ping had intended to become this kind of ninja.

But Danzo's meddling had cost him that opportunity.

Danzo really deserved to die!

As these thoughts ran through his mind, Tang Ping wore an enthusiastic smile and asked the Administrative Ninja before him,

"Senior, I'd like to borrow books related to Medical Ninjutsu. How should I go about it?"

What he could never understand was why other transmigrators always wore such sour expressions whenever they needed to ask someone for help.

Perhaps it was because those transmigrators did not treat other people as people at all.

In any case, before Tang Ping had the ability to flip the table, he did not mind following this world's rules.

Perhaps that was the difference between anime and reality.

"You want to learn Medical Ninjutsu?" The middle-aged man in a Ninja Vest first looked at the credential in Tang Ping's hand before explaining, "You may borrow basic books, but Medical Ninjutsu cannot be taken away. The hospital also has free training rooms...!"

Konoha Hospital was a money pit, but that did not merely refer to paying salaries.

How much money could that possibly cost!

The key lay in the resources required to train Medical Ninja.

Leaving aside everything else, the resources needed just to replenish what was consumed... for practice could bankrupt an ordinary ninja.

And the credential in Tang Ping's hand allowed him to use certain resources in the training rooms.

Without asking, he might never have learned about these unwritten rules.

"Thank you, Senior!"

Only after thanking him did Tang Ping head for the library.

The library within the hospital was open only to internal personnel.

Just like the library at the Ninja Academy was open only to Ninja Academy Students.

Knowledge was immensely valuable in the ninja world, to say nothing of Ninjutsu, which was absolutely confidential among confidential matters.

To prevent Ninjutsu from leaking, ninja villages would even go to war without hesitation.

The library was located on the top floor.

Though he saw no guards, Tang Ping knew very well that it was only because he had a credential. Without one, he definitely would not have been able to get up here.

If it were truly that easy to enter, so few people would not have mastered Medical Ninjutsu.

That was only because this was Konoha.

In any other ninja village, obtaining Medical Ninjutsu would definitely not be much easier than acquiring forbidden techniques.

The massive library's rows upon rows of bookshelves were packed with books.

Detailed Explanation of Human Meridians!

Battlefield First Aid Manual!

Medical Ninjutsu: From Beginner to Mastery!

See that? This was the knowledge related to Medical Ninjutsu.

Tang Ping had already read quite a few of them, but many were unavailable in the school library and could only be learned here.

An ordinary person would surely instinctively recoil upon seeing so much knowledge.

But Tang Ping was different!

What he saw was not obscure, difficult knowledge, but the power to protect himself and the guarantee of a future life of slacking off.

Slacking off had always been his dream. That had never changed.

But to realize that dream, he needed power, and power had to be earned through hard work.

At the same time, it was not as though he lacked methods of cheating.

Without them, no matter how talented he was, he could not possibly have quickly mastered all that basic knowledge in the school library.

Clarity Elixir!

It was also a byproduct of his research.

However, he always made and used it on the spot, never stockpiling any.

Its effect was rather ordinary as well.

It calmed the mind and soothed the spirit!

Many ninja clans had similar things. Incense, rituals... all kinds of methods could achieve that, so it was nothing unusual.

But the Clarity Elixir Tang Ping had created was more than N times as effective as those methods.

If it did not put pressure on his mind, and if the ingredients were not so difficult to gather—he had lacked both time and a place to collect them before—he would definitely have used it constantly.

It could only be said that when one's brain was not enough, one could make up for it by spending money.

Naturally, he could not compare to freakishly gifted talents like Orochimaru when it came to brains, but with items created through spending money, it was not as though he had no chance of catching up.

Besides this basic knowledge, there were also three D-Rank Medical Ninjutsu he could learn.

Hemostasis Technique, Healing Technique, and Detoxification Technique!

The Mystical Palm Technique from the anime was already considered A-Rank Ninjutsu.

Only medical jonin could master it.

In other words, mastering that Ninjutsu allowed one to be directly promoted to jonin without needing an assessment.

The reason was simple.

That A-Rank Ninjutsu was too complicated, while Medical Ninja were too scarce, hence the rule.

One only needed to know that fewer than five people in all of Konoha had mastered the Mystical Palm Technique.

Tang Ping did not rush to learn Medical Ninjutsu.

The reason was simple: he had not even mastered the basic knowledge yet. If he wanted to learn it directly...

Did he think he had protagonist plot armor?

So, he gathered the ten books he had selected and prepared to take them back to study.

The borrowing process went smoothly as well. After registering with his credential, he could take the books away.

Ten books as thick as dictionaries were merely introductory knowledge for Medical Ninja. Higher-level Ninjutsu required even more study, showing just how difficult this path was. No wonder so few people were willing to become Medical Ninja.

However, Tang Ping was confident that he could learn all this in a short time and step through the gates of the medical field.

He did not even need to know Medical Ninjutsu. This knowledge alone could bring him considerable gains.

But as he hugged the books and happily left, a small accident occurred.
