The First A-Rank Trait! (First, Second, and Third Updates)

Just then, the Camp Tent curtain was lifted from the outside.

"Qingyu, are you there?"

Obito Uchiha's voice came in first, followed by his head peeking in through the curtain.

"Lin is here too?"

Obito's gaze fell on Rin Nohara, and he paused for a moment.

He saw Rin Nohara's profile clearly; she was sitting next to Qingyu's low table.

And what about Qingyu?

She was sitting next to Rin Nohara, with less than an arm's length between them.

A bolt of lightning flashed across Obito's head.

Why does it give off a greenish vibe?

How did Lin end up in Qingyu's Camp Tent?

A lone man and a lone woman, alone in a room----

Obito felt his heart skip a beat, a pang of jealousy in his eyes.

"Obito, what are you standing there for?"

Kakashi followed Obito into the Camp Tent.

He glanced at the scene inside the Camp Tent, his expression unchanged, but the eye that was visible outside narrowed slightly.

So Lin and Qingyu are this close?

Kakashi didn't have any particular thoughts about this.

He felt that Rin Nohara and Qingyu were a perfect match, a match made in heaven.

Perhaps the only one who opposed this marriage was Obito.

Kakashi thought to himself.

"Lin, what are you doing here?"

Obito strode over to Rin Nohara, plopped down on the bench next to her, and glanced back and forth between her and Qingyu several times.

"I've come to discuss Medical Ninjutsu with Qingyu- kun."

Rin Nohara closed her notebook, smiled at Obito, and spoke in her usual gentle tone.

"Qingyu- kun was just teaching me the 'Yin Seal' and some Medical Ninjutsu, but there are still many things I don't understand."

Upon Obito, Obito immediately looked down at the ground.

Several medicine jars were indeed scattered around the low table, and a distillation apparatus and a pile of bottles and jars were placed on the table. A faint herbal scent filled the air.

These are all experimental items, not props for a date.

Furthermore, Rin Nohara was indeed holding a notebook filled with writing, which appeared to be mostly about Ninjutsu.

The sour feeling in Obito's heart immediately subsided.

Ah, so it's about discussing Medical Ninjutsu.

It's perfectly normal for Lin, who is so diligent and eager to learn, to come to Qingyu for guidance.

Obito to console himself.

After all, Qingyu's Medical Ninjutsu is renowned throughout Konoha, and even Lady Tsunade personally taught him. If Rin wants to improve, seeking his guidance is indeed the most suitable choice.

"I see."

Obito scratched the back of his head, his expression changing from tense to relieved.

"Lin is so dedicated! She doesn't forget to study even on the battlefield. I will definitely support you!"

He Rin Nohara a thumbs-up and flashed a bright smile, completely forgetting the tense look he had when he first came in.

Looking at Obito's smiling face, Rin Nohara smiled helplessly and nodded.

That's just how Obito is; his emotions come and go quickly.

She reopened the notebook, her gaze falling on the complex Sealing Technique, but her mind was elsewhere.

When Obito suddenly barged in, she almost instinctively shrank back towards Qingyu.

This reaction was unexpected, even to herself.

Why would this reaction occur?

She was openly asking a question, Qingyu was simply giving her a serious lesson, and nothing had happened, but she still had the feeling that her secret had been exposed.

Rin Nohara glanced at Qingyu out of the corner of her eye.

Qingyu sat at the low table, arranging the bottles and jars.

"By the way, what brings you two here?"

Qingyu put the last medicine bottle back on the shelf, then turned to look at Obito and Kakashi.

Kakashi leaned against the Camp Tent pole with his hands in his pockets.

"Obito said he needed to speak with Rin, I just happened to be passing by and told you about the mission."

"Task?"

Qingyu raised an eyebrow.

"Minato-sensei asked us to inform you and Rin."

Obito sat up straight on the bedding, his expression becoming more serious than before.

"There's a mission in three days. We need to escort a group of medical-nin to the Number Two Outpost in the east. We're running out of medical-nin there; the wounded have been piling up for days, and we urgently need reinforcements."

He paused, then pointed at Rin Nohara.

"Rin is also on the list for this mission. Minato-sensei said that Rin's Medical Ninjutsu has improved rapidly, and this escort mission will be a good opportunity for her to accumulate practical experience."

"Escort the medical-nin ----"

Qingyu pondered for a moment, then nodded.

"I see."

Number Two Outpost is located further east on the coastline, closer to the front lines of the Kirigakure Village than this location.

Escorting the medical-nin there meant they would likely encounter an ambush by the Kirigakure along the way.

However, with him there, they should be able to handle it.

"Minato-sensei also said that he would personally lead the team for this mission."

Kakashi added.

"Lord Jiraiya Minato-sensei. In addition to the few of us, two Jonin will also be joining us."

If Minato Namikaze is personally leading the team, this mission will likely be quite difficult.

The fact that "Konoha's Yellow Flash" personally took on the escort mission indicates that the situation at Number Two Outpost is more serious than imagined.

"Okay, I'll be there on time."

Qingyu said.

"Then I'll head back now."

Kakashi straightened up from the support, nodded to Qingyu, and then walked out of the Camp Tent.

When he reached the tent flap, he paused and glanced back at Obito.

"Obito, aren't you leaving?"

Obito was secretly looking at Rin Nohara's profile when Kakashi suddenly shouted, startling him so much he almost jumped up.

"I—I'm leaving too!"

He stood up from his bedding, dusted off his trousers, and glanced at Rin Nohara again.

"Lin, aren't you leaving?"

"I have a few more questions I'd like to ask Qingyu- jun."

Rin Nohara waved the notebook in her hand and gave an apologetic smile.

"Obito, you go back first. I'll go back by myself later."

"Oh----okay then."

Obito scratched his head, somewhat reluctant, but he didn't say anything more.

He turned and walked towards the tent flap, but couldn't help looking back once he reached the doorway.

Qingyu was tidying up the prescriptions on the low table, while Rin Nohara sat next to him with her notebook in hand. The two looked strangely harmonious.

Obito pursed his lips, suppressing the vague discomfort in his heart, and lifted the curtain to go out.

Kakashi was already waiting outside. When he saw Obito come out, he glanced at him.

"What's wrong? You look strange."

"Who looks strange? I look perfectly normal!"

Obito retorted instinctively, then quickened his pace toward his Camp Tent.

"Don't follow me, I'm going back to cultivate. I definitely won't hold anyone back on this mission!"

His figure quickly disappeared at the end of the path in the camp.

Kakashi stood there, looking in the direction Obito had disappeared, then glanced back at Qingyu's Camp Tent before turning and walking towards his Camp Tent.

The Camp Tent fell silent again.

"Rin, you mentioned earlier that you still had some questions about Chakra control. Which part were you referring to?"

Qingyu carefully folded the secret medicine formula and put it into his Ninja Tool Pouch, then turned to Rin Nohara and asked.

"It's about—it's about the stable output of Chakra."

Rin Nohara flipped to the first few pages of the notebook and pointed to the handwriting on the first few lines.

"When I practice, I always have trouble controlling my output; it's either too much or too little. I can't achieve the consistent and even output you're talking about."

"This is indeed not easy to master."

Qingyu nodded, stood up from the low table, and sat down again next to Rin Nohara.

He stretched out his hand, palm facing upwards, and a ball of pale green medical Chakra lit up in his palm.

"You see, the continuous output of medical Chakra requires a high level of Chakra control, but there are techniques involved. It's easier to Chakra through these Chakra points."

As he spoke, he slowly moved the ball of green Chakra in his palm.

"Also, you should imagine Chakra as a stream of water. Don't turn the tap on full blast all at once; keep the flow at a steady pace."

Rin Nohara stared at the ball of Chakra in Qingyu's palm.

"I—I'll give it a try."

She also raised her right hand, and a ball of pale green Chakra lit up in her palm.

However, compared to Qingyu's stable and even Chakra, her Chakra was noticeably volatile, sometimes bright and sometimes dim, with its edges constantly fluctuating.

"Don't rush, adjust your breathing first."

Qingyu pointed with her finger.

Then he grasped Rin Nohara's wrist and helped her adjust the angle of Chakra flow in her palm.

"Your wrist is too stiff. Relax and let the Chakra flow out naturally, instead of using your wrist to push it."

Rin Nohara paused slightly in her breathing.

Qingyu's fingers were long and strong, and the touch of them on her wrist was warm.

The temperature made the skin on her wrists feel slightly hot.

"I... I understand."

Rin Nohara lowered her head, forcing herself to focus her attention on the Chakra in her palm.

Guided by Qingyu, her wrist slowly rotated, and the green Chakra swirled more evenly in her palm.

"Very good, that's it."

Qingyu released her wrist.

"Remember this rhythm, practice it for half an hour every day when you get back, and you'll master it in a week at most."

Rin Nohara nodded and withdrew the Chakra from her palm.

She raised her wrist and glanced at the spot where Qingyu had just held it; a slight warmth still lingered there.

She gently placed her other hand on that skin, suppressing the heat in her heart.

It's getting late.

Qingyu glanced at the sky outside the Camp Tent. Night had completely fallen, with only the torches around the camp crackling in the darkness, casting flickering shadows on the canvas.

Following Qingyu's gaze, Rin Nohara glanced in the direction of the tent flap, and a sudden, inexplicable sense of loss welled up inside her.

Are you leaving so soon?

Rin Nohara bit her lower lip, then closed her notebook, picked it up, and stood up.

"Yes, thank you for your guidance today Qingyu- kun."

"Go home and get some rest. Be careful on the road."

"Good.

The next afternoon.

Qingyu stood in the Camp Tent, a glass bottle on the low table in front of her.

The bottle contained a forbidden drug prepared according to Tsunade's recipe; it looked like a pale green mint syrup.

Qingyu completed the preparation of the banned drugs overnight yesterday.

Although the formula provided by Tsunade was quite complex, Qingyu, with his current level of pharmacology and the added benefits of his special abilities, finished it all in one night.

He picked up the glass bottle and uncorked it.

A faint herbal scent wafted out.

He drank the pale green liquid in the bottle in one gulp. The liquid tasted cool, and as it slid down his throat, it left a slightly cool sensation in his esophagus.

The medicine dissolves in the stomach and spreads throughout the body along the meridian system.

Qingyu could feel her muscle fibers trembling slightly, as if they were being gently stretched by a warm force.

[B-Rank Trait detected: Drug Tolerance has met the synthesis conditions]

[Should we synthesize it?]

Qingyu stared at the semi-transparent text that popped up before her eyes and silently uttered in her mind, "Synthesize."

The next moment, the special text changed.

[A-Rank Trait: Drug Tolerance]

[Effect: Increases Drug Tolerance by 200%, Poison Immunity.]

A warm current rose from deep within my abdomen, spreading along the meridians to my limbs and bones.

The warm current was so strong that Qingyu felt a burning sensation.

A scorching warm current surged along the arteries to every cell, giving Qingyu the feeling of being in a sauna.

His body became stronger under the influence of this warm current, and the flow of blood in his veins seemed to quicken.

This process lasted for quite a while.

After the warm current gradually subsided, Qingyu raised her right hand, her palm still damp with sweat.

He moved his fingers around and found that they were more flexible than before, and his muscles seemed to react faster as well.

"Poison Immunity ----"

Qingyu looked at the description of the trait and took out a small packet of paralysis powder from her Ninja Tool Pouch.

This is a very common poison on the battlefield. The ninjas of Kirigakure often apply it to Kunai and Shuriken to paralyze the enemy's muscles and slow down their reaction speed.

The paralyzing powder itself is not fatal, but if the body is paralyzed during combat, even for a moment, it is enough for the enemy to seize the opportunity and kill the person with one blow.

On the battlefield, being paralyzed means death.

These were the spoils of war that Qingyu had captured.

Qingyu poured the paralyzing powder into her palm.

According to the dosage, this amount of powder is enough to paralyze an adult's arm.

Qingyu applied the powder evenly to the skin of her forearm.

The moment the powder came into contact with the skin, a slight numbing sensation spread from the contact surface.

Qingyu could clearly sense that the skin on which the powder had been applied was rapidly absorbing the paralyzing toxins, and the nearby capillaries were beginning to constrict, causing her to lose control of her arm.

But before the numbing sensation could fully spread, Qingyu felt it quickly subside.

"Hmm, no response?"

Qingyu shook hands and found that it didn't have any extra impact.

He then took out several poisons from his Ninja Tool Pouch, including a toxin that causes dizziness and hallucinations, as well as a special poisonous fog that can temporarily blind people.

Each poison was completely eliminated within a very short time after being inhaled or applied, without even any side effects.

"This is true Poison Immunity."

Qingyu was overjoyed.

Sunagakure regards the Third Kazekage as the strongest Kazekage in history because he possessed the Magnet Release Kekkei Genkai, which allowed him to manipulate Iron Sand for wide-range attacks, making him a legend in the history of Sunagakure.

Yet, this powerful figure was ultimately assassinated by Scorpion using poison.

They didn't even have a chance to fight before they died without knowing why.

If one possesses a constitution that is "Poison Immunity," at least one will no longer be killed by such underhanded methods.

Qingyu carefully put away all the poisons used in the experiment, then stretched her left arm.

The muscle's reaction speed and force output are no different from usual, indicating that this trait does not affect normal bodily functions at all.

He was just thinking about whether to go to the training ground to test the new trait's resistance to other toxins when he suddenly heard footsteps outside the tent.

The footsteps grew louder as they approached, heading directly towards his Camp Tent.

The moment the curtain was lifted, the sea breeze blew in, bringing with it the salty, fishy smell of the sea.

Shizune stood at the door, her white robe now replaced by a green ninja vest over a black bodysuit.

She carried her medical bag on her back and held a medicine box in her arms.

"Qingyu- kun, there's a patient who needs your help."

She was speaking when her gaze fell on the bottles and jars on the ground, and then she noticed the faint yellow powder residue on Qingyu's arm. Her brows furrowed slightly.

"Qingyu- jun, are you taking banned drugs again?"

The Shizune carried a hint of helplessness.

She had seen Qingyu researching those banned drugs when she was at Konoha Hospital.

Although Qingyu always confidently asserted that she had conducted animal experiments, she couldn't help but worry.

"Shizune, I didn't."

Qingyu shook her head and pulled down her sleeve to cover the traces of medicine powder remaining on her arm.

"It was just a small experiment, it's already over. You just said you had a patient who needed my treatment?"

"Hmm... it's not urgent, but it's about that Jonin had his internal organs injured by the Water Release yesterday. I've already treated him, but he's still feeling a bit unwell, so I'd like you to take another look."

Shizune entered the Camp Tent, placed the medicine box on the low table, and then looked at Qingyu.

"Oh, by the way, Lady Tsunade said that after you finish your work today, could you also—"

"What else?"

"Make her something to eat while you're at it."

Shizune's expression turned somewhat helpless.

"Lady Tsunade said she's relatively free today, and since there aren't any urgent injuries to treat, she'd like to eat Qingyu- kun's cooking."

Qingyu was taken aback for a moment upon hearing this, then burst into laughter.

Tsunade is targeting him.

What would Sister Tsunade like to eat?

"Anything is fine. Lady Tsunade said anything made by Qingyu- kun is acceptable. She's been eating dry rations for days on end, and her mouth is almost numb with taste."

Shizune shook her head.

"Okay, I'll get ready after I'm done with my work."

Qingyu nodded, tidied up the experimental equipment on the low table, and then followed Shizune out of the Camp Tent.

Treating a patient takes at most a few minutes.

Soon, Qingyu, having finished treating the patient, busied herself in the small kitchen next to the camp.

This kitchen was specially set up to take care of the seriously wounded and high-ranking ninjas; it was fully equipped with pots, pans, and utensils, although it was not as luxurious as...

It's like having a kitchen at home, but on the battlefield, it's considered quite a good setup.

Qingyu picked out a few fresh vegetables that were still usable from the food box, and then filled a basin with clean water from the water storage bucket to start washing the vegetables.

The knife blade rises and falls on the cutting board.

Today he plans to make braised saury, stir-fried cabbage with vinegar, and a bowl of tofu miso soup.

Qingyu worked at the stove for nearly half an hour, and the aroma of three dishes wafted out of the kitchen.

Then Qingyu took the dishes to Tsunade, intending to ask about "Body Pathway Derangement" while he was there.

Tsunade's Camp Tent was located in the middle of a group of female medical-nin Camp Tent, and unauthorized personnel were not allowed to approach it at will.

Upon opening the Camp Tent, Qingyu discovered that Tsunade was wearing a nightgown, the hem of which only reached her thighs, revealing her fair and slender legs.

Her legs were crossed, making them even more eye-catching under her nightgown.

Tsunade wasn't wearing ninja shoes; she was barefoot on the straw mats laid out on the ground.

Because the weather was a bit hot and humid, Tsunade long golden hair into twin ponytails that hung down over her shoulders.

The straps of her nightgown hung loosely on her rounded shoulders.

"Kid, you're finally here."

Tsunade looked up, her brown-gold eyes lighting up when she saw the tray in Qingyu's hands. Her lazy demeanor was instantly washed away by the aroused appetite.

She stood up from the table and waved to Qingyu.

Qingyu placed the tray on the low table, and the aroma of the three dishes filled the Camp Tent, whetting everyone's appetite.

Tsunade sat down across the table, picked up her chopsticks, and put a piece of saury into her mouth.

She squinted her eyes and let out a soft, satisfied hum.

"Your cooking is definitely the best. I don't know how the camp kitchen manages to make fresh ingredients taste so awful."

As she spoke, Tsunade picked up another piece of fish, her cheeks puffing out slightly. She chewed a few times and swallowed it.

Qingyu sat opposite Tsunade, watching her eat with great relish.

He noticed that Tsunade didn't maintain the dignified and authoritative demeanor she displayed in front of others when she was eating.

Her twin ponytails swayed over her shoulders, the neckline of her nightgown was slightly open, and her full figure appeared even more imposing as she leaned forward.

Qingyu shifted her gaze from the neckline of her nightgown, picked up her own bowl and chopsticks, and took a piece of food.

He made an extra portion, intending to eat it with Tsunade.

"Sister Tsunade, I want to ask about 'Body Pathway Derangement'."

Tsunade paused in her chewing of the saury, then looked up at him.

"What, you want to learn this technique?"

"Um.

Qingyu nodded.

"Improving 'Ninja Art: Creation Rebirth' requires the principle of 'Body Pathway Derangement,' and I want to combine the two."

Tsunade put down her chopsticks, picked up the teacup on the table, took a sip, and her lips became even more vibrant and supple.

The principle behind the "Body Pathway Derangement" technique is not complicated; the difficulty lies in how to precisely control the electronic Chakra so as not to damage one's own meridians while effectively affecting the enemy's nervous system.

"Fine, since you want to learn, I'll teach you."

Tsunade felt that Qingyu's speed in mastering Ninjutsu was indeed fast.

Furthermore, it seems that only Tsunade could truly carry on Qingyu's Ninjutsu skills.

Although Shizune is learning faster than many medical-nin, she is still far behind Qingyu.

Sometimes, Tsunade would wonder if Qingyu possessed some of her grandfather Hashirama.

Otherwise, why would someone learn Medical Ninjutsu so quickly?

It's important to know that the series of Ninjutsu she developed were actually just Hashirama abilities.

Tsunade picked up a piece of stir-fried cabbage with vinegar, put it in her mouth, chewed it, swallowed it, and then continued, "The principle of 'Body Pathway Derangement' is to convert the Chakra in the body into electrons, generating an electric field. This electric field will not cause substantial damage, but it will interfere with the signal transmission of the nervous system."

"Make the opponent move their body to the right when they want to move to the left, and kick themselves when they want to throw a punch."

"Could the effects on the nervous system be used in reverse for medical applications?"

Qingyu pressed for more information.

"For example, introducing an electric field into one's own body can stimulate the nervous system to accelerate reactions and improve the precision of bodily control, thus assisting in the Chakra control of 'Ninja Art: Creation Rebirth'?"
