Through a mask, Uchiha Kin could feel the other party's resentment. He went to disinfect, put on a medical protective suit, and then inspected the various tents, checking on the patients he had treated. The three people who had skin grafts yesterday were severely depleted and were still in a deep sleep.

Looking at these three, Tiger Power Great Immortal, Deer Power Great Immortal, Tiger Deer Power, and Sheep Power Great Immortal, Uchiha Kin felt a strange, fractured sensation.

"I wonder what their reaction will be when they wake up and see what they've become? Will they think they've transmigrated and become Yaoguai, or..."

He was looking forward to it.

Yamanaka Fu followed behind Uchiha Kin. When he went to check on patients, Fu followed to check on patients. When he went for a walk, Fu followed him for a walk.

Uchiha Kin lifted the curtain of the central tent, and Yamanaka Fu... Yamanaka Fu saw Yakushi Nonō inside, wearing a high-necked sweater, with a slightly chubby baby face, and her hair tied up lazily. He then silently withdrew his foot and stood guard at the entrance.

He instinctively flinched, following his inner feelings, feeling that it was better for him not to enter such a situation.

"Kin, are you resting well?" Yakushi Nonō tucked a strand of hair behind her ear and casually poured him a glass of water. "You had such a major surgery yesterday. Three people. It's only you; if it were me, I wouldn't even dare to imagine."

"Mm, I'm alright. I'll write the mission report... Um, Nonō, can you bring me a meal when you eat?"

"Of course." After Nonō finished speaking, she ignored Uchiha Kin, let down her hair, tidied up, and changed her clothes before going out.

Yamanaka Fu quickly moved aside, respectfully seeing her off.

Inside the tent, the rustling sound of a pen tip scratching paper echoed.

Yamanaka Fu felt a sense of relief.

After a while, Uchiha Kin finished his report. His report was very brief, and his wording was dry—

After routinely filling in the date, he wrote: Uchiha Kin, Captain of Konoha's Field Medical Brigade, Kin Squad, was ordered to be temporarily attached to Elder Danzo in the Land of Rain, to negotiate with Hanzo, so that Hanzo would restrain the Akatsuki organization in his country. During the conflict between Hanzo and Akatsuki, Kin escorted Elder Danzo to safety, bravely took the lead, charged forward, and led the team to break through the encirclement.

After carefully checking for typos, he lifted the tent curtain and handed the report to Yamanaka Fu.

"Here, the report!" he yawned lazily. "Honestly, so early in the morning. You go submit it quickly."

Yamanaka Fu read Uchiha Kin's report. Good heavens, less than a hundred words, and he recognized every single one. But when combined...

How "shameless"! He was clearly the one who ran the fastest, yet the report claimed he "bravely took the lead and charged forward"?

Did they, who ran at the back, do so because they were "afraid of battle"? Yamanaka Fu was greatly shocked, his desire to complain accumulating in his throat, but he didn't know how to express it.

He left the place and returned to the Root's small base, handing the report to Danzo. Yamanaka Fu hesitated, "Elder, Elder Danzo, this Uchiha Kin..."

Danzo raised his hand. "I understand." He ignored Yamanaka Fu and began to read the report in his hand.

His shock was no less than Yamanaka Fu's.

This twisting of facts, this blatant lying—no, it wasn't exactly lying... In any case, this level of shamelessness was beyond his capabilities.

"You may go," Danzo told Yamanaka Fu to leave, then took out his own report paper and began to write, following suit.

Of course, he wrote about how, as the leader of Root, he had the resolve to protect Uchiha Kin, the Medical Ninja, by letting the Medical Ninja go first while he bravely covered their retreat.

The two reports spoke of the same event, but both magnified the main subject, allowing the two mission reports to complement each other, creating a harmonious image of "a wise ruler and a virtuous subject."

Danzo savored the moment, then put away the report. Although what he had done on this mission was "ordinary," in this report, this mission had become the most brilliant and glorious event in his life's resume.

The art of "language"...

Uchiha Kin paced back and forth in the central tent, looking around leisurely. One of the four Byakugan within him opened, calmly observing his chakra meridians.

Heart, lungs, spleen, liver... Each organ stacked within his body, as well as the network of vessels on the surface, appeared complex, exquisite, and orderly under the Byakugan. Of course, his digestive system felt disgusting.

His chakra was weak, but because he was accustomed to extracting chakra, it spontaneously and inefficiently generated, circulating in his meridians.

巳!

He extended his hand and formed the first hand seal for Fire Style: Great Fireball Technique. The chakra within him began to move.

Then came Late Morning, Mid-Afternoon, Evening, Dusk, Early Morning.

The hand seals roughly controlled the direction of chakra flow; each seal was a control. With each control, a portion of chakra was wasted, unable to enter the corresponding meridian. Thus, it continued until the "Tiger" hand seal, after which Uchiha Kin blew gently with great interest.

A mere foot-long, bright yellow flame licked out with a "whoosh," burning for less than a second before dissipating.

He did this intentionally—it wasn't that he couldn't perform this C-rank Fire Style ninjutsu, he just wanted to use his Byakugan to confirm something further.

During the execution of this Fire Style: Great Fireball Technique, he made no specific controls, merely using the hand seals for a rough guidance.

Each hand seal did not control a unique chakra meridian, so once it changed, there would be loss.

This was called "chakra utilization rate," something learned in the Ninja Academy, related to chakra control.

An original ten units of power, after one path selection, would leave three units. After another selection, another three units would remain. Thus, three units became three units, and so on. Some novice ninjutsu learners, by the time they completed the last hand seal, would only have enough chakra left to puff out a cloud of smoke.

Through practice and familiarity, the body gradually became accustomed to this path, and the waste gradually decreased, allowing the ninjutsu to be released.

Uchiha Kin had previously only been able to roughly perceive this "process" through self-awareness, but now it was different; he saw it with his Byakugan.

"Seeing" it, or rather, "precisely feeling" it, held immense significance for him.

To be "seen" meant to be controllable.

He sat back down at his seat and drew the path of this Fire Style in his notebook. Starting from the last hand seal, he selected only the effective paths, removing all the ineffective ones. The original pyramid structure, which suffered losses at each stage, became a single line.

Uchiha Kin placed the notebook on the table, resting his chin on one hand, while his other hand tapped rhythmically on the table...

He needed to find a place to test his strength! What kind of power would this "correct path" Fire Style possess?
