Mirai nodded. He had learned of this long ago—Tsunade's groundbreaking work would greatly reduce Konoha's ninja mortality rate during the Second World War in the future, raising their overall combat strength.
But what did that have to do with him?
"I'm not sure about the details. It seems she has some research matters she wants to discuss with you. Since you had previously been training at Mount Myoboku, I set this matter aside for the time being. Now that you've finished your training, go help her after this mission." The Third Hokage smiled faintly.
"But... I know nothing about Medical Ninjutsu."
Mirai was naturally willing to help, but he did not know how he could be of any assistance.
"You may not understand Medical Ninjutsu, but you have, after all, created several ninjutsu. As far as I know, the ninjutsu you created require exceptionally precise chakra control, combining shape transformation and nature transformation."
"The prerequisite for developing Medical Ninjutsu is refined chakra control, so I believe she may want to ask you about that."
The Third Hokage explained. As the Professor of Ninjutsu, he immediately clarified matters that were otherwise difficult to understand, dispelling Mirai's confusion.
"In that case, I'll do my utmost to help Lady Tsunade!" Mirai laughed. Then, after accepting a C-rank mission, he left with Kushina.
"The little fellow from back then has grown up..."
After the two left, the Third Hokage could not help but smile and murmur softly in his office.
A few days later, Mirai and Kushina appeared before Konoha's gates.
At that moment, Mirai carried numerous bags in both hands, while Kushina walked ahead of him.
After entering the gates, the guard ninjas cast them strange looks. After all, no ninja in Konoha returned from a mission looking like Mirai and Kushina did.
