Yang Release Attribute, Healing Technique Advancement

Tōka sat cross-legged on the ground in his tent after leaving the medical department.

He eagerly opened the introductory handbook for Medical Ninjutsu that he had received from Shizune.

Skipping the theoretical knowledge in the first few pages, the first thing that appeared before him was the Healing Technique.

"Healing Technique: Concentrate Chakra in your palm and aim it at the target to achieve healing," Tōka muttered, secretly taking notes.

As the foundation of Medical Ninjutsu, every medical ninja knew the Healing Technique.

Conversely, whether someone was a medical ninja could be determined by whether they knew the Healing Technique.

Of course, this was a narrow definition.

True medical ninjas needed not only to learn the Healing Technique but also to have some research on herbs, poisons, and other medicinal plants.

After the Healing Technique came the Hemostasis Technique.

"Used for post-operative healing and battlefield emergencies. Takes a short time, only for emergency treatment."

These two Ninjutsu were what Tōka needed most at the moment; he didn't care about learning herbs.

He didn't actually want to become a medical ninja, but rather hoped to be able to treat himself simply when injured, or even heal himself.

The last Ninjutsu in the introductory handbook was the Mystical Palm Technique.

It was an advanced form of the Healing Technique, activating all the cells in a wound, and could heal injuries in just a few minutes.

The Mystical Palm Technique could not be learned by everyone, as it fell under the category of mastering Medical Ninjutsu and required Chakra with Yang Release affinity.

Tōka followed the instructions in the handbook and condensed Chakra in his palm.

Hum!!

A faint green glow enveloped his palm.

"Healing Technique requires precise control of Chakra; only those with meticulous minds can achieve it," Tōka thought to himself.

This was why most medical ninjas were women.

Not only because most women inherently disliked killing, but also because they were skilled at Chakra control.

However, this was not a problem for Tōka.

His innate talent made his Chakra control nearly perfect.

"I need to find a patient to try it out," Tōka murmured, looking at the Healing Technique in his right palm.

The scroll Tsunade had given him was an exam scroll, and Tōka wouldn't use it lightly without confidence.

He only had one day, so it seemed he had to go to the medical department again.

Where were the most injured people in the Konoha camp?

Besides the medical department, there was nowhere else.

Shizune, who was arranging the injured, happened to walk out of her tent and saw Tōka returning.

"Hey, Tōka, why are you back?" Shizune hurried over to Tōka and asked.

"I just learned the Healing Technique and want to try it on a patient," Tōka said expressionlessly, as if stating a trivial matter.

But to Shizune, it sounded like a huge joke.

It had been less than half an hour since she gave Tōka the introductory handbook for Medical Ninjutsu.

Including the time it took to read the handbook carefully, the remaining time to learn the Healing Technique...

"Are you serious?" Shizune's astonished expression gradually subsided, replaced by seriousness.

She had always been very serious and meticulous when it came to healing people.

Tōka was taken aback by Shizune's gaze, then nodded solemnly.

"Alright, follow me." Shizune turned around and was about to step forward when she suddenly turned back to look at Tōka.

She said in a deep voice, "I'll be watching you."

"..."

Tōka was silent for a moment, his lips parting slightly, and he uttered a single word.

"Okay."

After a short walk, Tōka followed Shizune to a camp for lightly injured patients.

Shizune approached a Chunin whose arm had been stabbed by a Kunai. A beautiful nurse was treating him.

"It's Shizune." The nurse looked up when she heard the movement and saw Shizune, a smile appearing on her lips.

"Leave him to me," Shizune nodded at the nurse and said with a smile.

"You've come at the right time; I'm almost overwhelmed." As she finished speaking, the green light in her hand dissipated. "Then I'll leave him to you."

As Tsunade's disciple, Shizune was known by everyone in the medical department.

After the nurse left, Shizune beckoned to Tōka.

"Hey, hey, hey, little Shizune, you're not going to let this kid treat my injuries, are you?" The Chunin had clearly noticed their interaction and immediately shouted in dissatisfaction.

The chuunin's voice was loud, instantly drowning out the cries of the other lightly injured soldiers.

Sensing the gazes from everyone, Tōka frowned slightly.

"He's new medical personnel; the medical department is short-handed, so..." Shizune said, half-truthfully.

At the same time, she secretly decided that if Tōka dared to lie to her.

Hmph!!

"Is that so?" The chuunin was a bit displeased, but as Shizune-imouto said, the medical department was short-handed.

Besides, he was only stabbed in the shoulder by a kunai; it wasn't a serious injury.

If it were at the Konoha Hospital, they would only provide bandaging. Only during wartime would they first use a Healing Technique before bandaging.

Seeing that the other party didn't object, Shizune secretly breathed a sigh of relief and nodded slightly at Tōka.

Tōka stood expressionlessly beside the chuunin, extending a fair, tender hand with a slight pale yellow tint.

He cupped his palm loosely, covering the chuunin's wound without touching it.

Following the instructions in the introductory Medical Ninjutsu manual, Tōka calmed himself and concentrated his chakra in his palm.

A faint green fluorescent light enveloped his small hand, and the chuunin's tightly furrowed brow finally relaxed slightly.

"The brat in front of me may not be old, but he knows the Healing Technique at least. It shouldn't be a problem," the chuunin thought to himself.

Suddenly, a cool sensation emanated from the wound on his shoulder.

The pain seemed to disappear. He looked at his bloody shoulder in surprise.

The wound wasn't healed yet, but it didn't hurt anymore?

"It really is the Healing Technique!" Shizune, standing beside him, was equally stunned.

The Healing Technique wasn't difficult; anyone could learn it as long as they controlled their chakra to a certain extent.

But no one had ever learned it so quickly!

He saw it once and learned it? Was he a genius?

However, what followed next...

Using the Yin power, which originates from mental energy that governs imagination, to create form from nothing.

Using the Yang power, which originates from bodily energy that governs life, to give life to form.

"Yang Release represents the power of the physical body and can infuse life into form." The concept of Yin-Yang Release flashed through Tōka's mind, and a thought arose.

What would happen if he infused Yang Release chakra into the Healing Technique?

A surge of vibrant Yang Release chakra flowed out from Tōka's body, eventually converging in his palm.

The green light became even more brilliant, carrying an aura of vitality like a newly sprouted seedling.

The bloody hole on the chuunin's injured shoulder was healing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

In just a moment, it was completely restored, not even leaving a scar!

"This!!"

Mystical Palm Technique?!

As Tsunade's direct disciple, Shizune naturally knew of the Mystical Palm Technique.

The Mystical Palm Technique was an advanced form of the Healing Technique, injecting Yang Release chakra to heal wounds within minutes.

But where was there such a fast Mystical Palm Technique!

This was simply...

"I have to tell Lady Tsunade!" Shizune exclaimed and turned to run out.

Meanwhile, Tōka stood quietly in place, savoring the feeling of healing the wound just moments before.

Yin Release, mental power; Yang Release, physical power.

Using the opponent's cells, activating them with chakra, and leveraging the power of Yang Release to rapidly multiply and generate new flesh and skin.

"It seems quite simple!" Tōka tilted his head and glanced at the chuunin whose injuries had completely healed.

Just as he was about to leave, a blonde beauty in green clothes rushed in like a gust of wind from the camp entrance.

Tsunade first looked at the chuunin lying on the sickbed with disbelief, then turned her gaze to Tōka.

"Lady Tsunade," Tōka said respectfully as he saw her looking at him.

"You actually have Yang Release chakra. I misjudged you," Tsunade said with a stern face. If everything Shizune said was true, then the test she deliberately set to challenge Tōka presented no difficulty at all.

However, compared to Tōka instantly learning the Mystical Palm Technique, Tsunade was more concerned about his Yang Release chakra.

It seemed slightly different from ordinary people's Yang Release.

At the very least, no other medical ninja who had learned the Mystical Palm Technique could do it so quickly!

"Come with me!" Tsunade pondered for a moment and said, looking at Tōka.

They arrived in a hurry and left in a hurry.

Tōka paused for a moment before catching up with Tsunade's steps.

Tōka seemed to understand Tsunade's confusion a little. As a direct descendant of Kaguya Otsutsuki, it was only natural to possess the purest Yin Yang Release.

It was like the richness of power in one's bloodline.

This was what the world called—talent.

The three of them left the light injury ward and moved to the severe injury ward.

This camp's medical equipment and medicines were more comprehensive, and all the medical ninjas were skilled in the Mystical Palm Technique and proficient in medicine.

"Lady Tsunade."

Upon seeing Tsunade, Shizune, and Tōka walk in, everyone quickly bowed.

"Get back to your work," Tsunade commanded sternly, then led Tōka and Shizune further inside.

Inside the severe injury ward, the outside was the emergency room, and the inside was the recuperation room for severely injured patients.

"You try!" Tsunade pointed at the "mummy" on the hospital bed, completely wrapped in bandages.

Tōka naturally knew who she meant by "you." He didn't hesitate and walked a few steps closer, standing by the bedside.

Tōka extended one hand, and Chakra infused with Yang Release properties condensed in his palm.

He cupped his hand in the air, hovering it over one of the patient's arms.

While healing, Tsunade began to explain to Tōka.

"This is a patient with severe burns, with 80% of their body surface area suffering from burns of varying degrees."

"It's not ordinary fire," a look of solemnity flashed in Tōka's eyes. His Mystical Palm Technique seemed to be encountering considerable resistance in its healing.

"Huh? You can tell?" Tsunade said in surprise, simultaneously signaling Shizune to remove the bandages wrapped around the patient.

Large patches of charred blackness, bloody and mangled, covered the arm, with no part intact.

In some places, burnt bone could even be seen within, which was quite gruesome.

"It's a Scorch Release ninja from Sunagakure—Pakura," a hint of solemnity flashed in Tsunade's eyes. The attacks of Scorch Release were several times more terrifying than Fire Release.

A mere touch meant death or severe injury; this person's survival was purely down to luck.

Hearing Tsunade's words, Tōka showed an expression of "just as I thought."

Only Scorch Release could inflict such severe burns.

"However, compared to Pakura, you surprise me more," Tsunade said, looking inexplicably at the skin that had already recovered, all within just two or three minutes.

This brat's Mystical Palm Technique had actually healed a section of the patient's arm!

Tsunade had originally planned to have a drink, then sleep to regain her energy before personally treating this patient, but she hadn't expected Tōka to resolve it so easily.

"It seems your stamina is quite depleted," Tsunade also noticed Tōka's slightly pale little face and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

It's good that he's a genius, as long as he's not a Yaoguai...

Tōka rolled his eyes at her words with a hint of annoyance.

After all, he was only in a body that was a little over seven years old, and his Chakra was only slightly more than that of a Genin.

Furthermore, such terrifying burns, with a large amount of Scorch Release Chakra remaining in the wounds, made healing not only troublesome but also incredibly draining.

When one person displays talent beyond the ordinary, they are hailed as a genius.

But when a person's talent is beyond imagination, they are considered a Yaoguai.

Humans have always feared the unknown, whether it be people, creatures, or anything else.

"Lady Tsunade, with my current abilities, I can't heal him," Tōka said after taking a deep breath to recover his breath, glancing silently at the person on the hospital bed.

"What is it?" Tsunade raised an eyebrow, puzzled.

"There isn't enough time," Tōka said expressionlessly.

He had only come to learn Medical Ninjutsu, not to treat the injured.

Naturally, he wouldn't waste a large amount of time and energy saving people.

Moreover, if he had known this body's talent was so powerful, he wouldn't have come to Tsunade.

Tōka's goal was to learn the Mystical Palm Technique so he could have sustained combat ability, not to genuinely become Tsunade's disciple.

Besides, Tsunade's attacks were mainly based on brute strength, which was of little use to Tōka.

Another thing that caught Tōka's eye was the Yin Seal on Tsunade's forehead, which stored unused Chakra.

It allowed for fine adjustments of Chakra, achieving instant healing, enhanced attacks, and increased speed.

Skilled users could even use the low output and fine adjustments of Chakra within the Hundred Healings Mark to maintain youth, enhance physical functions, and keep the body in its peak condition.

This technique was quite good, but it was somewhat redundant for the current Tōka.

As a seven-year-old child, he didn't have much Chakra to begin with, let alone storing "excess" Chakra.

"If there's nothing else, I'll be leaving now." Tōka glanced at Tsunade, who was clearly choked up, and turned to leave without giving her a chance to speak.

As Tōka's figure disappeared from the tent entrance, an object flew through the air like a black shadow.

Tsunade instinctively reached out and caught it, only to find it was the "exam questions" she had handed to Tōka earlier.

"Damn brat!"

He'd returned the scroll to her completely untouched!
