Time passed little by little.
Nanfeng's brows gradually furrowed as he did his best to merge his mental energy with the energy in his cells.
Chakra... put simply, it was a form of life energy.
The method of refining it seemed simple, but in reality, it wasn't easy.
After a while, a tiny amount of chakra appeared in his body. Nanfeng felt warmth spread through him, along with a strange, unfamiliar sensation.
Especially around his lower abdomen.
"Tsk... Is it because I'm too young and my body hasn't fully developed, so my life energy is relatively weak...?"
Nanfeng thought.
Still, he was delighted. After all, he'd succeeded in refining chakra.
Now that he had chakra...
It meant that all his previous practice in deep meditation and maintaining focused mental energy had paid off... Everything had fallen into place.
The instant chakra appeared, a mechanical sound suddenly rang out in his mind.
He was caught off guard.
"No way... Has my delivery finally arrived?"
He was ecstatic.
Talk about better late than never!
Nanfeng felt like crying.
He'd thought the army of transmigrators had left him behind.
He'd thought he wouldn't get a cheat after all.
He'd already given up hope... only for it to arrive out of nowhere.
That was a real emotional roller coaster...
System: Ding! Congratulations, host, on successfully refining chakra and meeting the basic requirements to become a ninja... System: Ding! Congratulations, host. You are about to begin your ninja career. The "Medical Divinity System" will fully support your future. We hope you have an enjoyable journey! System: Ding! It has been detected that the host activated the system rather late. As compensation, a "gift pack" has been provided and placed in the system inventory. Please claim it.
"..."
Nanfeng fell silent.
He wasn't really a little kid.
At first glance, it seemed that he needed to have chakra to activate his cheat.
But he had a feeling... that the "transmigration auditor" had simply forgotten about him, only remembering now and rushing to send him a system, along with a gift pack as compensation.
"Better not disappoint me..."
Nanfeng exhaled.
Back in his previous life, this would have earned a one-star review and a complaint.
Medical Divinity System.
Just from the system's name, Nanfeng had already guessed what it was about.
After summoning the system panel and looking it over, he saw that he had been right.
"So it wants me to become a Medical Ninja..."
Nanfeng stroked his chin and drew in a sharp breath.
To be honest, he'd never thought about becoming a Medical Ninja. Medical Ninjas served in support roles, and they didn't stand out much in this world.
The only person to take this role to its absolute peak was Tsunade, one of the Sannin. Kabuto Yakushi was another, and Sakura counted too.
But in Nanfeng's view, those people had benefited from the story's circumstances, as well as being major characters.
Still, Medical Ninjutsu was undeniably pretty powerful... It was just that most people couldn't master it, and its role wasn't suited to charging into battle, so it was often overlooked.
But by now, the ninja world had seen no shortage of battles between villages... Every war left many dead and wounded, and that was when the importance of Medical Ninjas became clear.
"One attribute point for treating each patient? Whether or not I save them? Holy crap... Isn't that a little too overpowered?!"
"And I can earn points too... to exchange for abilities or items from other dimensions..."
After a while, once he understood the system, Nanfeng was so excited that his fingertips trembled.
Broadly speaking, the system had two parts.
First, there was a passive ability: when treating a target, he could gain attributes.
Second, the system had a shop packed with all kinds of things from other worlds. But they were all related to medicine, such as the Ope Ope no Mi, Orihime Inoue's Soten Kisshun, Shireen's healing magic, Gold Experience Requiem from JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, Senzu Beans from Dragon Ball, and Black Jack's Medical Arts Inheritance Record.
Those were already impressive, but the most absurd part was... there were also items related to "restoration."
The field of medicine covered many areas, including illness, treatment, recovery, resurrection, restoration, and enhancement.
Those were the positive applications. There were negative ones too.
Like death, viruses, and cosmetic surgery...
A lot of those things could be useful to him as well.
"Zombie Man's ability from One Punch Man... Even if his body gets smashed to pieces, he can still regenerate."
"And among the Espada, there was the former ruler of Hueco Mundo, Barragan, with his Respira..."
Nanfeng's mind reeled after just a quick look.
Medicine... in a way, it touched on the two concepts of life and death.
However, he would need to use his own chakra to wield these abilities or items after exchanging for them, so... he had to become a powerful Medical Ninja. At the very least, he needed a substantial amount of chakra.
Then, Nanfeng opened his attribute panel again.
Host: Akiya Nanfeng. Age: 5. Stamina: 5.7. Strength: 4. Defense: 3.2. Resistance: 2.8. Reaction: 5.1. Speed: 6.3. Spirit: 10. Charm: 15. Chakra: 0.6. Skills: None. Evaluation: A relatively outstanding ninja academy student.
From the system's notes, Nanfeng understood that the baseline attributes for a Genin were 10.
And that was the minimum.
In other words, aside from his spirit attribute, which had barely reached the Genin threshold, the rest were still a long way off.
"I've trained for so long, and I thought I might be able to compare with geniuses like Kakashi and Itachi. Turns out I'm nowhere close. I really was getting ahead of myself..." Still, Nanfeng wasn't discouraged. Treating one person earned him one attribute point.
If he treated a hundred people a day, wouldn't his attributes skyrocket?
As long as he treated them, that was all that mattered. The system hadn't said he had to save them... He could just pretend to treat them, right?
"I can understand the other attributes, but what is this Charm...?"
Fifteen points in Charm... All he could say was that his looks were perfect...
"Right, the gift pack!"
Nanfeng suddenly remembered something. He opened the inventory and claimed the gift pack the system had given him.
System: Ding! Congratulations, host, you have obtained a Healing Technique manual! System: Ding! Congratulations, host, you have obtained 20 bonus attribute points... System: Ding! Congratulations, host, you have obtained a Poisoning Technique manual! System: Ding! Congratulations, host, you have obtained a Holy Armor Technique manual!
The successive notifications left Nanfeng stunned.
System: A fusion-compatible skill has been detected. Would you like to learn it?
"Yes!"
Then, just two or three seconds later, Nanfeng felt as though something had appeared in his mind.
He opened his attribute panel and saw that three icons had been added to the skills section: Poisoning Technique, Healing Technique, and Holy Armor Technique.
System: The three skills have been assimilated into the current world as Ninjutsu.
Nanfeng was familiar with these three abilities. Weren't they Taoist skills from Legend of Mir...?
He took another close look at the skill descriptions. Since they had come from a system gift pack, all three skills had been enhanced. They used very little mana with each cast—which meant chakra! Even with his current chakra of 0.6, he could cast the Healing Technique once!
