Reward: Flying Thunder God Technique!

Tsunade was unaware of the details, but she knew Kagami Uchiha.

He was a former comrade-in-arms of his Teacher and was called by his Second Grandfather the Uchiha clan member who truly understood the "Will of Fire".

As a member of the Second Hokage's guards, Kagami Uchiha's strength, talent, and status are beyond question.

Kyohiko shared his thoughts on some of the events from back then.

"If he hadn't died so young, he would definitely have entered the Konoha High Command and become a member of the power center."

"Once we have a breakthrough, it won't be difficult to divide the Uchiha Clan."

Thinking of this, Tsunade couldn't help but sigh softly.

Perhaps that's what my Second Grandfather was thinking.

but.

After taking Danzo, Old Man was immediately faced with chaos and war, leaving him no time to deal with internal affairs. Later, when Kagami Uchiha died in battle, the matter had to be put aside.

As for cultivating a new...

It's not that Tsunade looks down on the Old Man or Danzo; at least since she took over, not a Uchiha clansman has been accepted or taught by the old man Danzo.

On the contrary, the Uchiha moving further and further away from the center of Konoha.

However, Tsunade was not a novice, unlike the later Naruto, and certainly not the original Jiraiya.

She knew very well--

Suddenly lifting the restrictions on the Uchiha would not only fail to achieve mutual understanding, but might also make the Uchiha believe that Konoha has an opportunity to take advantage of them.

"Kyohiko, I'm entrusting the Uchiha matter entirely to you."

"Okay, but before that, I need to find someone. I might need your help later."

"I?"

Tsunade had by now overcome her initial shock.

She smiled and said, "As long as it's not about me fighting the Nine-Tails, I'll do my best to do anything else you ask."

"No, it's not that. Do you remember Gekko Hayate from the Hayate Clan? He's having some health problems. I'll go check on him first. If there are any issues, you might need to perform surgery yourself."

After leaving the Hokage Office, Kyohiko didn't go home but went straight to the Ninja Academy.

The Ninja Academy is bustling with activity now.

The school playground was bustling with people. During the brief break between classes, a group of people were running and exercising, making the most of every second.

Kyohiko sat outside the campus, not in a hurry to go in.

He heard a notification when he left the Minato residence.

Despite differing ideologies, as Hokage, you still earned the complete trust of your subordinate, Minato Namikaze.

[Reward: Flying Thunder God Technique (Beginner)]

As expected.

Flying Thunder God!

Kyohiko observed the playground while integrating his memories.

He certainly wasn't there to wait for Shisui Uchiha. Shisui hadn't enrolled yet; he wouldn't be old enough to enroll until this year's enrollment period.

but.

There's no rush regarding the matter of Gekko Hayate.

Flying Thunder God is more important than that.

"Beginner-level Flying Thunder God..."

Kyohiko merged with his memories, quietly sensing the additional memories and manipulations.

Then, he roughly understood.

Flying Thunder God.

Minato Namikaze was definitely not a beginner. If you were to calculate based on proficiency, he was probably already at a proficient or even expert level when he first started using it.

Beginner's Guide to Flying Thunder God...

From constructing the channel to teleporting, it takes at least 5 seconds, and the speed of creating the spell isn't that fast either.

Furthermore, it's possible that Kyohiko read more of Senju Tobirama's scrolls and notes, making his techniques closer to Senju Tobirama's.

It is a pictographic symbol.

"Give it a try."

Kyohiko placed his hand on the wall.

Before long, a symbol quietly appeared.

Flying Thunder God Formula!

Although both are symbolic patterns, his patterns are slightly different from Senju Tobirama's, based on Kyohiko's previous research and additional memories...

This is related to each person's Chakra state.

Unless there are special circumstances, everyone's Chakra is different, so the methods and techniques for constructing techniques must be studied and found by oneself.

The system has reduced the time spent on this aspect.

So--

Flying Thunder God!

A piece of paper was passed to me from my pocket.

Intact and undamaged.

"The distance is shorter, and the time for transporting items seems even shorter, so there's no need to build such a long spatial tunnel."

Kyohiko seemed to be deep in thought.

Too.

Lowering the stability standards of the space passage should allow for faster construction, for example--

Simultaneously activate Lightning Release Chakra Mode with Flying Thunder God Technique, or teleport ninjas of physical prowess like Dai or A.

Further experiments can be conducted gradually.

Let's get down to business first.

Ninja Academy, Vice Principal's Office.

When Mitokado Homura saw Kyohiko, his brow furrowed, clearly indicating that he was already in pain.

He sighed.

"Kyohiko, what are your thoughts now?"

No, this time we found someone.

Kyohiko quickly clarified.

He doesn't come every time he wants to cause trouble.

If he had to choose between Mitokado Homura and Utatane Koharu, and pick one he found more pleasing to the eye, Kyohiko would definitely choose Mitokado Homura.

At least he's willing to work and rarely complains.

He did a very good job at the Ninja Academy, except for his lack of innovation.

Mitokado Homura breathed a sigh of relief.

Who are you looking for?

"Gekko Hayate, I heard his health isn't very good. Both Tsunade and I have been quite busy before and haven't had time to investigate what's wrong. Now it's a good opportunity to check on him."

Kyohiko explained.

After hearing Mitokado Homura took it seriously and became very attentive.

"Gekko Hayate, he is indeed not in good health, and it has already affected his new studies..."

He couldn't help but sigh as he said this.

The Hayate Clan has made significant contributions to the Anbu, but they have been unable to help with Gekko Hayate's situation.

"Gekko Hayate coughs frequently. Utatane Koharu, took him to see a doctor before and thought it was a congenital lung disease... Sigh, that kind of disease is basically incurable."

"Let's see first, and what are the circumstances under which it will affect your studies?"

Kyohiko wanted to know more.

Mitokado Homura pressed the bell.

A short while later, a Teacher entered.

After giving the orders, Mitokado Homura explained the specifics of the situation.

Since the introduction of "choosing a major," the students at the Ninja Academy have been working incredibly hard to train and study, hoping to be a year ahead of others in choosing their desired major.

As a result, Gekko Hayate, who was originally quite outstanding, gradually lost his previous advantage due to his physical condition and illness.

Even though he was very hardworking and diligent, he still couldn't avoid going from an excellent student to an average student.

certainly.

In terms of swordsmanship, he is already far ahead.

But it's clear that the illness has become a stumbling block for him.

"If you can cure this child, the Hayate Clan will be eternally grateful to you..."

Mitokado Homura said in a low voice.

Kyohiko smiled and said, "The Hayate Clan has contributed a lot to the Anbu, so I'll help them for that reason alone. No need for thanks. Besides, I'm not even sure I can cure them."

He was speaking.

A coughing sound came from outside.

Then, another Teacher arrived, accompanied by Gekko Hayate.

"Kyohiko... sama?!"

The Teacher, though ashamed, still bowed respectfully upon seeing Kyohiko.

More than three years ago, this child was a student at the Ninja Academy. Now, when they meet, he has to call him "sir," which makes him feel quite embarrassed.

"Teacher Inagaki, Kyohiko came this time because of Hayate's situation."

Explanation of Mitokado Homura.

Upon hearing this, Inagaki's face lit up with joy. He immediately bowed deeply, no longer feeling ashamed, and said from the bottom of his heart, "Thank you for your concern!"

"Go back to class."

Mitokado Homura smiled.

Inagaki left with peace of mind, leaving Gekko Hayate with his head down, carefully observing Kyohiko out of the corner of his eye.

Kyohiko Yoshimine...

Everyone in the Ninja Academy knows him.

In the past, when people talked about their future goals, they would mention things like the "Sannin" or "Hokage," but now more and more people are talking about becoming like "Kyohiko."

This demonstrates Kyohiko's current level of fame.

Therefore, Gekko Hayate's eyes were filled with the trepidation and unease of someone meeting an idol, along with an undisguised excitement.

"Don't be nervous. I'm only three or four years older than you. Just think of me as your senior."

Kyohiko sat down beside him and gestured for Gekko Hayate to sit as well.

Mitokado Homura observed with great interest.

Kyohiko's medical skills...

He had heard of them; they were skilled in Ninjutsu and medicine, but he didn't have a deep understanding of the specifics.

This time I'll get to see for myself.

Gekko Hayate sat down, Kyohiko subtly released his Chakra through a gesture of soothing aloofness, using Genjutsu to disrupt Gekko Hayate's emotions, calming him down from excitement and trepidation.

Only then did he touch the location of the "lungs" with his fingers to sense the situation inside.

"Breathe."

"Take a deep breath."

"Don't suppress your cough."

"..."

After a series of instructions, Kyohiko frowned slightly.

Mitokado Homura became uneasy.

What's going on?

Is it that difficult?

Not to mention Gekko Hayate.

His face was deathly pale, and his breathing was rapid. If it weren't for Kyohiko's Genjutsu interference and influence, he might not have been able to maintain his composure at this moment.

Kyohiko withdrew his finger.

Do you cough easily when you get cold, or from irritants?

"Yes, yes!"

Gekko Hayate's eyes were bright, and he nodded repeatedly.

Kyohiko continued, "And from childhood to adulthood, you must be more prone to catching colds and getting sore throats, right?"

Yes, that's right!

Gekko Hayate nodded repeatedly.

Mitokado Homura looked at Kyohiko, his gaze filled with both shock and joy. "You know how to cure it?"

"I don't know, but I roughly know where the problem lies."

To avoid Gekko Hayate's emotional breakdown, Kyohiko didn't take a deep breath, but instead stated his judgment in one breath, "Based on my judgment, it should be congenital lung hypoplasia."

Gekko Hayate's face was pale.

Is it treatable?

"If it had been a few years later, there definitely wouldn't have been a cure. There are still ways to treat it now, but you shouldn't engage in strenuous exercise recently, and don't rush things."

Kyohiko paused for a moment, then said, "It's not too late for you to exercise and get stronger after you're fully recovered."

Then, he looked at Mitokado Homura: "Advisor, please don't schedule any strenuous exercise classes for Hayate during this period. I'll discuss it with the Lord Hokage and come up with a plan before we discuss the next steps."

"Okay, don't worry."

Mitokado Homura nodded.

Gekko Hayate heard that he could cure it, his eyes lit up, but he was still uneasy when he Kyohiko get up to leave.

"Senior Kyohiko... is it really possible to cure him?"

"Yes, the lesion is not large at present, and the surgery is not difficult. However, you need to wait patiently."

Kyohiko smiled.

Gekko Hayate breathed a sigh of relief.

He nodded emphatically, looking at his somewhat pale face. "I will be very patient."

After leaving the Ninja Academy, Kyohiko quickly went to the Hokage Office.

The boast was out there.

but.

In fact, Gekko Hayate's condition is not simple, but the good news is that the lesion is not large at present, and a lung transplant should be able to solve most of the problems.

Whether it will work or not, we'll have to ask Tsunade to find out.

That's the situation.

"Kyohiko, this surgery is anything but simple!"

Tsunade glared at him.

but.

Who told Kyohiko to spread that rumor?

and.

If Gekko Hayate can be cured, there will be a cure for similar diseases in the future.

Therefore, she also wanted to overcome it.

Is it possible to regenerate lungs using Ninjutsu?

"Repairing internal organs is still very difficult, even for me!"

Tsunade lowered her eyes and sighed softly, "Both Dan and Nawaki died from internal injuries. If there had been Ninjutsu to treat internal organs, things wouldn't have turned out this way..."

"Then the only options are transplantation or removal. The affected area isn't large right now; removing part of it can ensure his future safety, but he definitely won't be able to be a ninja anymore. At most, he can do some intelligence analysis work."

Kyohiko asked, "Is the technology for transplantation currently mature?"

"Transplanting a portion? How could you even think of that!"

Tsunade was surprised.

This type of surgery has been attempted before, but it was never compatible, and the condition eventually led to complications, or even more serious illnesses.

She explained the consequences.

Kyohiko said, "Could it be because of incompatible bloodlines?"

You mean, immediate family members?

Tsunade into thought.

The physical conditions are incompatible, but the relationship between parents and children is something that Medical Ninja have never tried before.

She thought for a moment and said, "Even if relatives can use it, what about his parents?"

"If you only cut off a portion, you can survive if you don't become a ninja."

Kyohiko said.

Tsunade paused for a few seconds, then nodded slightly.

That's absolutely right!

This seems to be the best solution.

"We can consider it, but we need to conduct experiments on animals first to determine its feasibility before consulting the parents. If they also agree..."

Tsunade said, "Let's have the surgery later."

If all else fails, after the surgery, Gekko Hayate can at least live a normal life.

"I'll examine it again myself."

"Of course."

Kyohiko nodded.

Tsunade sighed.

"If Shizune were a little older, I could have her help me with so many things, which would definitely lighten my workload considerably!"

"Please, have some decency!"

Kyohiko was speechless.

Shizune is only 10 years old, but she's already eyeing the future workforce.

Tsunade chuckled dryly and said, "I was just thinking... cough, you must have a lot to do, right? Go ahead and do your work, I'll come over after I get off work."

"Good."

Kyohiko nodded.

Perfect timing, he needs to test out the various situations and effects of the Flying Thunder God Technique.

He conducted dozens of experiments in the Anbu.

The final conclusion is--

Currently, short-distance teleportation of Ninja Tools and messages can be done quickly and safely, but teleporting living beings is like a lottery, or it may take much longer.

certainly.

It can also be used in conjunction with Shadow Clone.

By synchronizing the Shadow Clone and increasing the speed of constructing the spatial passage, the process can be accelerated to a certain extent, reducing the time to three seconds.

It's not fast, but it can reliably teleport 500 steps without breaking a sweat.

When used by a single person, the scope and effectiveness are greatly reduced.

You're still far from being a beginner!

but.

For a single person, given Kyohiko's current situation, it's more than enough, except that he can't teleport others.

"It's alright, it's usable enough."
