Medical Ninjutsu (2)

Ninjas who make a name for themselves in the ninja world do not necessarily possess strong teaching abilities.

Take Minato Namikaze and Hatake Kakashi from the original story, for instance; while their own strength in the ninja world was formidable, the disciples they trained were somewhat underwhelming. This was the impression Tsunade gave Uchiha Yue. Although Uchiha Yue acknowledged that Tsunade's strength was immense, her level of instruction could only be described as average.

In the process of teaching Uchiha Yue, Tsunade simply poured out her own insights, leaving it entirely up to Uchiha Yue's own comprehension to grasp how much he could absorb. It was fortunate that Uchiha Yue possessed exceptionally strong mental energy and upheld the excellent tradition of keeping detailed notes; otherwise, facing Tsunade's cram-style teaching, Uchiha Yue might truly have been ruined by her hands.

Tsunade was clearly very satisfied with Uchiha Yue's learning attitude; at the very least, she praised him the moment he pulled out his notebook to start recording. Subsequently, under Tsunade's cram-style instruction, Uchiha Yue began to slightly grasp what medical ninjutsu was all about. After all, Uchiha Yue already possessed a wealth of theoretical knowledge, and Tsunade held nothing back during her teaching, allowing Uchiha Yue to understand the methods of using medical ninjutsu in a short period.

Medical ninjutsu is a type of ninjutsu that requires extremely high levels of chakra control during practice.

To learn medical ninjutsu, one must possess a certain degree of chakra control.

Furthermore, as one delves deeper into medical ninjutsu, the required level of chakra control increases exponentially.

It is precisely for this reason that those who can truly master the essence of medical ninjutsu are few and far between, even within the ninja world.

Uchiha Yue possessed vast mental energy and had been consistently training his chakra control, making him fully qualified to learn medical ninjutsu. In fact, if Uchiha Yue were willing to put in the effort, under Tsunade's careful guidance, he had the potential to reach the pinnacle of medical ninjutsu—he simply harbored some resistance toward learning it in his heart.

However, in front of Tsunade, Uchiha Yue could not afford to show a lack of interest.

After all, Tsunade held the status of one of the Sannin and occupied a high position in Konoha; Uchiha Yue did not want to anger this teacher of his, who was already known for her short temper.

Moreover, Uchiha Yue had his own plans.

While training here with Tsunade, Uchiha Yue decided he would simply learn according to what his teacher taught. After all, being able to master medical ninjutsu would provide him with the ability to protect himself during intense battles. However, Uchiha Yue would only practice medical ninjutsu while at Tsunade's place; the idea of him returning home to continue practicing what she taught was simply out of the question.

Because Uchiha Yue would never abandon his own training plan; even if it were a plan formulated by a powerhouse like Tsunade, he would still reject it.

Then, after Tsunade finished her preliminary explanation of the principles of medical ninjutsu, she tested Uchiha Yue with a few questions to see if her disciple's answers would satisfy her. To Tsunade's slight surprise, Uchiha Yue, relying on his formidable memory and comprehension, had managed to digest the content of her lecture in a short time, even showing the ability to draw inferences about other cases from one instance.

Immediately following...

Seeing that his theoretical knowledge was so well-grasped, Tsunade unsealed a scroll.

As the sealing scroll was opened, a fish that had stopped breathing for three hours appeared on it—this was the target for Uchiha Yue's next experiment.

"Yue, follow the method I taught you and bring this fish back to life."

Placing the fish that had been dead for three hours in front of Uchiha Yue, Tsunade crossed her arms over her chest and issued the command directly.

Seeing that Tsunade wanted him to experiment personally, Uchiha Yue nodded at her. Subsequently, Uchiha Yue gathered chakra between his hands, and dark green light flickered between them; it was the chakra within his body, transformed into the chakra of medical ninjutsu.

Seeing Uchiha Yue succeed on his first attempt at chakra transformation, Tsunade nodded slightly, expressing her satisfaction.

However, unexpectedly, Uchiha Yue frowned slightly, then cast his gaze toward Tsunade and said, "Teacher, I have a question."

"Ask," Tsunade nodded.

"Mm."

Uchiha Yue paused for a moment to organize his thoughts before speaking: "Teacher, I followed your method to transform my chakra and have successfully converted the chakra in my body into the form of medical ninjutsu chakra. However, I discovered that the medical ninjutsu chakra seems somewhat similar to the physical energy within the human body! Could it be that there is some commonality between them?"

"Heh. As expected of a genius, to have discovered the mystery of medical ninjutsu so quickly?"

Upon hearing Uchiha Yue's question, Tsunade revealed a satisfied smile and said, "That's right, medical ninjutsu chakra is indeed extremely similar to the physical energy within the human body. Or rather, medical ninjutsu chakra is essentially transformed by simulating the body's physical energy. Physical energy is inherently a very wondrous power, possessing properties like self-healing and detoxification. When it remains inside the human body, it can only instinctively heal injuries and alleviate some toxins. But the physical energy transformed through medical ninjutsu can actively treat injuries and neutralize toxins—that is what we call medical ninjutsu chakra."

As she spoke, Tsunade walked over and gently patted Uchiha Yue on the shoulder, then continued: "I am very happy that you could ask such a question, Yue. I truly did not misjudge you; you are indeed a genius for learning medical ninjutsu. Being able to create a technique like the Rasengan proves that your talent for jutsu and your control over chakra far exceed that of ordinary people. As long as you can focus on researching medical ninjutsu, your attainments in this field could be far greater than mine."

"Furthermore..."

At this point, a mysterious smile appeared on the corner of Tsunade's mouth, and she gave Uchiha Yue a meaningful look, saying: "Furthermore, Yue, there is a reason I am having you learn medical ninjutsu. I am also aware of your current situation; you have reservations about learning medical ninjutsu because you are afraid it will delay your training in other areas, right?"

"Yes, that's correct."

Since Tsunade had already brought it up, Uchiha Yue naturally dropped his guard and said directly: "Just as you said, Teacher, I am afraid of delaying my other training, so I was worried that learning medical ninjutsu would take up too much time, and I felt a bit of resistance."

"Heh heh, those are not problems."

Facing Uchiha Yue's response, Tsunade waved her hand dismissively and said: "When you truly master medical ninjutsu, you will understand why I want to teach you this instead of training you through other means. Alright, it is training time now; focus on completing the plan I have set for you. Begin!"

"Yes!"

As soon as Tsunade finished speaking, Uchiha Yue replied solemnly, then cast his gaze toward the dead fish in front of him.

Immediately following...

After Uchiha Yue took a deep breath, he controlled the chakra in his hands and placed them slowly over the dead fish.

At the same time, Uchiha Yue's expression became much more focused.

The training of medical ninjutsu truly began from this moment on!
