Background
Qingshui fought during the Second Shinobi World War and later turned to medical ninjutsu after the war. He trained in swordsmanship under Maruboshi Kosuke, while his healing ability earned recognition from Kushina, Tsunade, and eventually Hiruzen Sarutobi. 3 7 34
He initially worked at Konoha Hospital, following a strict routine between home, the hospital, and training grounds. His healing work is tied to a system that grants chakra, orbs, techniques, and other rewards for treating patients. 10 12 17
During a C-Rank escort mission with Mikoto’s squad, Qingshui revealed that he was far more capable in combat than most medical ninja. He protected Mikoto’s students, aided Mikoto against rogue Kirigakure ninja, and healed the squad after the battle. 15 17
His later accomplishments elevated him from a respected Konoha ninja to a decisive military and political figure. He became the First Federal President after Konoha became the capital of the Great Shinobi Federation. 236 314
