"Mmm..."

"Where is this..."

Mikoto, who had woken up, opened her eyes, revealing her Crimson Eye.

But the next second, that crimson hue vanished, and her eyes returned to their normal black.

However, Qingshui clearly saw that the eyes Mikoto had revealed were Three Tomoe Sharingan.

And a year ago, she only had Two Tomoe Sharingan.

"This is Konoha Hospital. Mikoto, your injuries have been treated, but you'll need to rest for a few more days before you can be discharged."

"It's Qingshui, thank you."

Mikoto, understanding her current situation, smiled gently at Qingshui.

Her frail and beautiful older sister appearance instinctively evoked a sense of tenderness.

"Oh right, congratulations on becoming a Medical Ninja."

Having experienced the sacrifice of her instructor and classmates, she naturally cared about Qingshui, her only remaining classmate.

So, when Qingshui decided to become a Medical Ninja a year ago, she was very supportive.

After all, as long as one became a Medical Ninja, they could work in Konoha Hospital and wouldn't have to go on dangerous missions every day like other ninjas.

Of course, even if working in Konoha Hospital, if one wanted to undertake missions, it was still possible.

After a brief chat, Qingshui left the operating room and returned to his office.

While recovering his chakra, he reviewed the rewards he had just obtained.

Demonic Illusion: Tree Binding Death, this was a Genjutsu.

In the original work, the Genjutsu specialist Yūhi Kurenai had used it against Uchiha Itachi.

Although the result was that he easily countered it, it wasn't because Yūhi Kurenai or Demonic Illusion: Tree Binding Death was bad, but because the Sharingan of the Uchiha Clan was too overpowered.

Playing Genjutsu in front of an Uchiha?

What's the difference between that and showing off your skills to an expert?

Objectively speaking, this was already a very high-level Genjutsu.

When used, the caster would first disappear, then trees that looked like Wood Style would entangle the enemy, and finally, the caster would emerge from the trees to launch an attack, killing the enemy with a single blow.

This was a Genjutsu born in the era of the First Hokage Senju Hashirama.

It would make the enemy mistake the caster for using Wood Style, thereby generating fear.

"It's because Mikoto's strength has greatly increased that she can directly unleash this level of Genjutsu."

As long as the Three Tomoe is activated, one will possess elite-level strength among Jonin.

This is Uchiha.

Qingshui was very envious of this.

What? I have a system?

Never mind then.

According to the system's rules, the orbs obtained after each healing are divided into four grades from low to high: White Orb, Blue Orb, Golden Orb, and Color Orb.

The higher the grade of the orb, the better the rewards within.

For orbs of the same grade, the higher the healing difficulty, the better the rewards obtained.

When the strength of the healing target is at the Genin level and below, only a White Orb will be obtained.

When the strength of the healing target reaches the Chunin level or even Special Jonin level, only a Blue Orb will be obtained.

Upon reaching Jonin level strength, one can obtain a Golden Orb, and the same applies to Elite Jonin level.

Only by reaching the Kage level strength will one obtain the highest grade, the Color Orb.

In summary, the stronger the healing target and the more severe their injuries, the better the rewards Qingshui will receive.

Chakra is scarce, consumed quickly, and recovered just as fast.

After recovering, Qingshui completed three more healings, obtaining one White Orb and two Blue Orbs.

This was because the healing targets for these three instances were a Genin, a Chunin, and a Special Jonin.

As for the rewards obtained, the White Orb gave 10 Chakra points, while the two Blue Orbs gave 30 and 50 Chakra points respectively.

Although there were no Ninjutsu rewards, he was very satisfied.

After all, for Qingshui, increasing his Chakra limit was the best reward at this stage.

"It seems that White Orbs and Blue Orbs primarily yield rewards that increase Chakra, with Blue Orbs giving more."

"Then I'll set a small goal first, to increase my Chakra to 10,000 and reach C-Rank."

Even within the strongest ninja village, Konoha, Jonin are considered backbone forces, and their numbers cannot be too large.

Therefore, Qingshui's daily healing targets are definitely mainly Genin and Chunin.

This was perfect for him to achieve his goal of increasing his chakra.

At the same time, a maiden with blood red long hair rushed into Konoha Hospital.

If Qingshui saw her, he would recognize her as Uzumaki Kushina, his friend.

Kushina was here to visit Mikoto.

The two were best friends.

It was also because of Mikoto that Qingshui knew Kushina.

"Mikoto, Mikoto, are you okay?"

Looking at the boisterous Kushina, Mikoto, though touched, spoke with feigned annoyance.

"Why are you shouting so loud? Keep it down, this is a hospital, don't disturb others."

Kushina just chuckled in response.

"I was worried about you! I heard you were injured and I was so scared."

Seeing that Mikoto's complexion was still a little pale but clearly no longer in danger, Kushina breathed a sigh of relief.

"You..."

Mikoto shook her head, feeling helpless towards Kushina.

However, after Kushina's commotion, some of the sadness in her heart dissipated.

The reason she was injured this time was that she was leading her three students on a mission when they were ambushed by the Rennin Organization.

She was injured while protecting her three students.

Although they eventually annihilated all the enemies, they couldn't save them, and only one girl survived in the end.

It was this girl who sent her to Konoha Hospital.

She had already sent the girl home.

"By the way, Kushina, do you know who I saw?"

"Who?"

"It was Qingshui. He's already a Medical Ninja now, and he healed my injuries."

Upon hearing this, Kushina's first reaction was surprise.

Qingshui was also her friend, and she knew his talent well. At first, she hadn't been optimistic about Qingshui being able to learn Medical Ninjutsu.

"If I remember correctly, he's only been studying Medical Ninjutsu for a year, right?"

Since arriving in Konoha, Kushina had been living in the Senju Clan Compound, cared for by Uzumaki Mito and Tsunade.

Therefore, she also understood the difficulty of Medical Ninjutsu.

For a normal person to become a qualified Medical Ninja, it would take at least several years, or even more than a decade.

"That's right, I was very surprised at first too. I didn't expect Qingshui to have such high talent in Medical Ninjutsu."

Kushina also agreed with this statement.

At the same time, she was happy for Qingshui.

After chatting with Mikoto for a while longer, Kushina left.

However, she didn't go home. Instead, she found Qingshui.

"Okay, Qingshui, you became a Medical Ninja and didn't tell me? You don't consider me a friend, do you?"

"I only became one today, so I didn't have time to tell you."

Despite Qingshui's explanation, Kushina snorted twice, acting as if she were very angry.
