Meeting Tsunade Again

"Nonō."

Chiwa said with a look of deep emotion, "If I were a jōnin, I would definitely make you my student."

It was now August, and after five months of teaching, she had basically been drained of all she had to offer.

Yakushi Nonō was, without a doubt, the most talented student in Medical Ninjutsu she had ever encountered.

She learned everything quickly, and she could even draw inferences about complex medical knowledge from a single instance.

"Thank you, Teacher Chiwa."

Yakushi Nonō said very politely.

"Natsuki, you still need to work harder."

Chiwa shifted the focus of the conversation and said.

Compared to Yakushi Nonō's performance, Natsuki appeared quite ordinary.

If she were to speak the truth, she would advise him to give up on becoming a medical ninja.

Among all ninjutsu, Medical Ninjutsu and Sealing Jutsu were the most difficult to learn and were not suitable for most ninjas.

"I am aware of my own limitations."

Natsuki nodded and then asked, "There is one month left; could I ask Teacher Chiwa to take Nonō to Konoha Hospital for an internship?"

Chiwa was slightly taken aback, feeling a bit troubled.

She was only a genin, and for Yakushi Nonō to intern at Konoha Hospital, she would need Tsunade's approval.

However, she had accepted Natsuki's mission, and it wouldn't be right to teach nothing for the remaining month.

Yakushi Nonō's medical knowledge was very solid now; she just lacked experience.

Letting her intern at Konoha Hospital was indeed a very good opportunity.

"An internship is not possible, but I can let her follow me to observe and learn."

After pondering for a long time, Chiwa thought of a compromise.

"Thank you, Teacher Chiwa."

Natsuki couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Whether it was an internship or observing and learning, his goal had already been achieved.

"Follow me."

Chiwa picked up her nurse's uniform and led them toward Konoha Hospital.

It didn't take long for them to arrive at Konoha Hospital.

"I am a genin, and I serve as a nurse at Konoha Hospital."

Chiwa introduced, "I don't have a private office, so I usually stay in the nurses' office."

After she finished speaking, she pushed open the door to the nurses' office.

Natsuki instinctively looked around.

The nurses' office was large, with six desks in total on the left and right sides, but only two nurses were present at the moment.

"Wow, what a cute little boy!"

The young nurse sitting at the first desk on the left stared at Natsuki with eyes shining.

Natsuki couldn't help but take half a step back.

He felt like she might swallow him up in the next second.

"Chiwa, what's the deal with these two kids?"

Another young female nurse asked curiously.

"They are both my students."

Chiwa briefly explained the reason.

The two nurses instinctively looked at Yakushi Nonō.

Because Chiwa had just praised her heavily, boasting that she would definitely become a medical jōnin in the future.

In this current era, medical ninjas were pitifully scarce, and there were no more than ten medical jōnin.

The weight of that statement was so heavy that they found it hard to believe.

"How about we test her Chakra nature?"

Chiwa noticed their expressions, and a thought occurred to her as she asked.

Chakra has seven natures: Earth, Fire, Water, Wind, Lightning, Yin, and Yang.

These seven natures correspond to seven types of ninjutsu: Earth Release, Fire Release, Water Release, Wind Release, Lightning Release, Yin Release, and Yang Release.

Medical Ninjutsu belongs to Yang Release.

To become a medical ninja, one must have an aptitude for Yang Release and precise Chakra control; both were indispensable.

Chakra paper can detect Earth, Fire, Water, Wind, and Lightning.

Natsuki had tested his own affinity using the chakra paper left behind by his parents, and it was Earth.

Yin and Yang require special methods to be detected.

Konoha Hospital possesses equipment for testing Yang affinity.

Judging from the original work, everyone possesses both Yin and Yang attributes; it is merely a matter of quantity.

After all, Yang represents the body, and Yin represents the spirit.

"I will go ask the head nurse for permission."

The young woman wearing a nurse's uniform nodded and said.

Testing for Yang affinity does not require any cost, so under normal circumstances, it is always permitted.

Watching her retreating figure, Natsuki couldn't help but think to himself how lucky he was.

Once tested like this, Yakushi Nonō's talent would certainly be impossible to hide, and Tsunade would soon know about it; he might even see her today.

A moment later, the young woman reappeared.

She was holding an instrument that looked like a rectangular box.

At her signal, Yakushi Nonō raised her hand and placed it on the device.

Soon, the screen on the instrument changed, and a red glow began to permeate from it.

A line of text inexplicably appeared in Natsuki's mind: Dou Power, level three.

Chiwa and the others revealed expressions of astonishment.

This was because red represents the highest level of Yang affinity talent.

In the entire Konoha, there are no more than five medical ninja with this level of Yang affinity, and they are all currently medical jōnin.

"I think this matter should be reported to Lady Tsunade."

Chiwa murmured.

Medical ninja are already scarce, and having finally discovered a genius, they naturally could not let the opportunity slip by.

Moreover, if Yakushi Nonō were to be favored by Tsunade, she would also benefit from the association.

The other two nurses exchanged glances and nodded as well.

Yakushi Nonō looked at Natsuki instinctively.

She was, after all, just a child, and the reactions of Chiwa and the others left her feeling somewhat overwhelmed.

Not to mention that she would soon have to meet the legendary Tsunade.

"Don't be nervous, this is a good thing."

Natsuki smiled, pinched her cheek, and said.

Hearing this, Yakushi Nonō felt a little more at ease.

"We are going to find Lady Tsunade right now!"

Chiwa said impatiently.

Natsuki immediately began to feel expectant.

Although he had already met Tsunade once when he enrolled in the academy.

Led by Chiwa, Natsuki and Yakushi Nonō arrived at Tsunade's office.

At this time, Tsunade was still a normal ninja of Konoha.

Nawaki was still alive, she and Dan Katō were not yet a couple, and she had not developed hemophobia.

"Come in."

Tsunade's voice rang out.

Chiwa pushed open the door.

"Chiwa? What is it you need?"

Tsunade instinctively looked at Yakushi Nonō and Natsuki.

"Lady Tsunade."

Chiwa immediately explained Yakushi Nonō's situation.

Tsunade rested her hands on the desk, her beautiful eyes sizing up Yakushi Nonō.

Yakushi Nonō felt very uncomfortable under her gaze and instinctively hid behind Natsuki.

Seeing this, Tsunade couldn't help but smile.

After a moment of thought, she reached a decision.

The importance of medical ninja is self-evident; being able to add one more medical jōnin could save countless ninja.

Even if she didn't take Yakushi Nonō as a student, she would still ensure she became a medical ninja.

"Nonō, starting today, you will intern at Konoha Hospital."

Tsunade looked at Yakushi Nonō and said.

"Tha... thank you, Lady Tsunade!"

Upon hearing this, Yakushi Nonō immediately bowed and said.

Being allowed to intern meant that she would be taught Medical Ninjutsu.

Natsuki couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief.

His plan was proceeding very smoothly.

However, the reason it went so smoothly was largely due to Yakushi Nonō's own exceptional talent.

Coupled with the scarcity of medical-nin, once she displayed her aptitude, it was inevitable that she would be valued by Tsunade and the others.

Next, it would be his turn.

He lacked the talent for being a medical-nin, so if he wanted to attract Tsunade's attention, he would have to rely on other methods.

For example, proposing in advance that medical-nin be permanently assigned to ninja squads and establishing medical training classes, so that Konoha would place greater importance on medical-nin.
