Tsunade: I Think I Understand Grandpa Now!

"The acupoints listed at the proficient level should all be usable, but the effects will vary slightly."

Similar to the Hyuga Clan's "Pressure Point Strike," these Pressure Point Strike are mostly used to seal Chakra, but the locations and sealing times vary.

Kyohiko used Shadow Clone to experiment, summarize, and finally draw conclusions.

The more Chakra gathers at the Chakra meridian nodes, the shorter the sealing time.

This is also an advantage for the Hyuga Clan.

Through training, the Byakugan can see more detailed Chakra points, and by sealing multiple points, it can block Chakra for a longer period of time.

even.

Some acupoints can also release the body's potential through Chakra stimulation.

Just like the Eight Inner Gates.

only--

Currently, at the "proficient" level, only one Pressure Point Strike has this effect.

The Danzhong Point!

It is located at the center of the chest, where Chakra channels are highly concentrated. Stimulating this Chakra with Chakra can cause Chakra to explode instantly.

The aftereffects are...

It will consume more energy, and you will feel weak for a period of time after using it.

"If there's one, there must be more, I just don't know yet. Indeed, studying acupoints is useful, and there are many more uses waiting to be discovered, but the Hyuga Clan..."

Kyohiko rubbed his temples.

The Hyuga, a powerful family with a history spanning hundreds of years, may not be very capable, but it certainly has many flaws. Although some progress has been made, another collaboration may not be successful.

He put away the book, created a Wood Clone, and his original body vanished from the spot in an instant.

Flying Thunder God Technique.

Although he is not yet proficient and needs further study and practice, he can already use it without any problems.

Konoha, Hokage Office.

Tsunade was reviewing documents when she suddenly sensed a fluctuation of Chakra, followed by Kyohiko's presence outside.

She paused for a second, then her eyes widened slightly.

This is not Body Flicker Technique.

Only the Flying Thunder God can achieve the effect of appearing instantly.

Kyohiko has mastered it?

She stood up in surprise, and the next moment, she saw Kyohiko Gate of Opening and come in.

"Sister..."

"You brat! You already mastered the Flying Thunder God Technique?"

"Yes, after all, we've been researching this for a long time, so it shouldn't be too surprising to see some results, right? But it's not very useful in actual combat, so I'm still figuring out how to optimize it."

Kyohiko explained.

Tsunade was immediately speechless.

This kid...

Still not satisfied?

"Back then, in order to master this technique, Minato learned all the Sealing Technique and most of the Barrier Technique. He summarized his experiences and ideas before finally starting his own."

Tsunade rolled her eyes at him.

This is a classic case of getting the benefit and then complaining!

but.

She was still very happy to know that Kyohiko had mastered the Flying Thunder God.

With Kyohiko's abilities, he'd be even less likely to die after mastering the Flying Thunder God. She didn't need to worry that he would suffer the same fate as the two people she cared about before...

Thinking of this, Tsunade sighed inwardly.

Immediately, she raised her beautiful eyes.

When did you place the incantation at my door?

"When I picked up the book earlier."

Kyohiko smiled.

He came over and inquired about the progress at the Hyuga Clan's place.

certainly.

Kyohiko didn't mention that he had already learned through the system that the Hyuga Clan had agreed to cooperate with the hospital.

Tsunade gave a brief explanation of the situation.

He immediately understood.

Large families are still complicated!

The cooperation with the Medical Ninja was inherently advantageous to them, so they accepted it without any hesitation.

but.

The collaboration on Pressure Point Strike clearly crossed the line for the old-fashioned people.

Kyohiko frowned. "Large families with a history spanning hundreds of years have numerous rules..."

"Yes, there's nothing we can do about it."

Tsunade said, "Actually, I was quite surprised that the stubborn old man from the Hyuga agreed to assign a group of people as Medical Ninja, even though it was limited to the village hospital."

"This is beneficial and harmless to them, so there's no reason for them to refuse."

Kyohiko answered.

Tsunade nodded. "That's true, but they are the Hyuga Clan. They haven't explicitly refused yet, and they're still negotiating, which means there's still room for discussion."

The Hyuga Clan, unchanged for centuries, successfully found a breakthrough thanks to Kyohiko's few words and two techniques.

This in itself is a miracle.

Kyohiko understood the reasoning, but he felt it was still too slow. Could they add something more, like...?

"Sis, I've recently studied a few more acupoints. I'm wondering if we could apply a little more pressure?"

"Wouldn't this be going too far?"

Tsunade was somewhat worried.

Kyohiko said, "I explained to Hiashi before that the human body is full of mysteries, and the uses of many acupoints are not necessarily all about sealing Chakra. He probably didn't take it to heart, but now I've found an acupoint that can prove this point."

"You found it?"

Tsunade was somewhat surprised.

Kyohiko nodded. "This location is an acupoint connecting the heart and lungs. Stimulating it with Chakra can accelerate Chakra extraction and release."

Tsunade's expression was serious. "Being so close to the heart and lungs area, you absolutely mustn't do anything reckless in the future!"

"Yes, I know."

Although Shadow Clone can simulate pressure points, making them undetectable even by the Byakugan, they still differ from the original body in several ways—

It is itself Chakra aggregate, so it cannot simulate the effect of the "Danzhong Point".

Tsunade offered some advice, but then pondered the effects of the acupoints Kyohiko had mentioned.

Chakra points were actually studied by Medical Ninja, but they found that the location of the points was not exactly the same for everyone, and the effects of the points were generally not very good, so they were eventually abandoned.

but.

If, as Kyohiko said, one can use Chakra to stimulate the physical body through Pressure Point Strike, it might be able to save one's life or even turn the tide of battle at a crucial moment.

Tsunade and gave it a try.

Immediately--

She felt her heart and lungs working simultaneously, her Chakra exploding in an instant, and at the same time, she felt her body become stronger.

This increase is temporary, just like the Eight Inner Gates.

This is a method of explosive action.

but.

Since it involves the heart and lungs, its side effects are also quite obvious.

Tsunade's expression turned serious. "Long-term use of this technique may overload the heart and lungs, leading to cardiovascular and pulmonary diseases. If you don't want to get sick... no, I have to add it to the Scroll of Seals!"

At that moment, Tsunade suddenly felt a connection with her grandfather.

When Grandpa stopped Second Grandfather back then, he must have had similar thoughts.

These things are far too dangerous!

Tsunade was helpless.

Kyohiko couldn't help but laugh and asked, "Sis, what were you thinking about just now?"

"What are you thinking about? I'm thinking about you dying sooner!"

Tsunade gave him a beautiful, elegant glance, then truthfully told him what she had just been thinking.

Kyohiko, however, had a different opinion.

"If the First Lord truly thought those techniques were worthless, he should have simply forbidden them from being passed down. Instead, he created the Scroll of Seals, which may have actually brought harm to future generations."

"That's for sure..."

Tsunade sighed.

These forbidden techniques are the crystallization of wisdom and blood and tears, and also the foundation of a village.

It's optional, but it's essential.

"No wonder you want to cooperate with the Hyuga Clan. As you said, the human body has endless potential to be explored beyond the Eight Gates."

"Tsunade said."

Kyohiko smiled and said, "I actually have another idea, which is to breathe in a lot of air to stimulate my body's activity and allow myself to reach a level of strength that surpasses the Lightning Style state."

"Write it yourself into the Scroll of Seals!"

Tsunade remained expressionless.

No sooner had he finished speaking than another forbidden technique was unleashed.

You're really something!

That is.

Kyohiko chuckled.

The idea was plagiarized from Shira, who originally called it "Seven Heavenly Breaths," but he felt no guilt whatsoever.

"Alright, I don't want you to always take risks with yourself; it's not good."

"Tsunade said softly."

Kyohiko nodded.

"If I wanted to try the Seven Heavenly Breaths, I would have figured it out long ago. The reason it's still just a hypothetical concept is that I don't think it's worth it for me."

Kyohiko explained.

Tsunade nodded and said nothing more.

A few seconds later, she said, "It's not convenient for me to handle this for you; you'll have to talk to them yourself. But do you know Jiraiya's Wild Lion's Mane Technique? If you do, using that technique might be more effective."

"The Wild Lion's Mane Technique isn't difficult."

Kyohiko can.

but.

Limited to proficiency--

His proficiency stemmed from a solid foundation, not from a deep understanding of the specific technique.

However, the drill was effective enough.

The place where the Hyuga Clan holds meetings.

Despite Ren Hiashi, the family elders only said one thing.

Clan rules must not be abolished.

Clan rules, clan rules!

All you know is the clan rules!

Hyuga Hiashi was angry, but he also understood that the Hyuga family's survival to this Hyuga was largely due to certain clan rules.

for example--

The art of the Caged Bird.

certainly.

This time, not everyone is against it. Apart from the Hizashi, some elders are inclined to agree, but they are unwilling to speak out because the situation is unclear.

But.

After Hiashi deliberation, Rizuki's eyes darted around, and he had an idea in mind.

No matter how you look at it, the benefits aren't immediately apparent.

Hearing and seeing are two different things.

Hiashi had a plan in mind. He walked quickly outside, but after a few steps, he turned and went in another direction.

A moment later.

"Hizashi."

"Master of the family."

The Hizashi immediately rose, displaying utmost respect.

Hiashi laughed and said, "Just call me elder brother."

"Brother."

The Hizashi was as it should be.

Hiashi nodded slightly.

"Hizashi, I need your help with something. I need you to contact Kyohiko Yoshimine and ask him to fulfill some of his promises ahead of schedule so I can proceed with the next collaboration."

"Yes!"

Hizashi, preparing to go to the Anbu.

Hiashi suddenly paused slightly, then raised his hand. "Wait!"

"What's wrong?"

Hizashi turned around, a hint of doubt in his eyes.

Hiashi suddenly Awakening.

Immediately, a smile appeared on his face.

"He's here! Go and greet him, bring Kyohiko over here, and remember to be respectful."

"Yes."

Kyohiko saved his friend's life; how could Hizashi not respect him?

Upon seeing his savior being stopped, Hizashi quickly stepped forward.

"Etc!"

"Hizashi- sama."

"He is the head of the family's guest, and the head of the family asked me to take him there."

Afterwards, Hizashi quickly apologized.

Kyohiko is naturally fine.

The Hyuga Clan, being a large and prestigious family, naturally has a lot of rules and regulations, which is normal.

We'll correct them sooner or later!

He pondered this in his heart, but on the surface he remained very kind.

"Hizashi- senpai, I didn't expect you to come and greet me in person. But I remember you had a mission, right? Didn't you go out to carry it out today?"

"I was originally going, but there was a family meeting, so I had to cancel."

Hizashi smiled helplessly.

He took Kyohiko there, briefly explaining the situation in a low voice on the way, and finally revealing his purpose.

"So..."

"Don't worry, I hit it off with Hiashi- senpai immediately. Why would I put Hiashi in a difficult position? Besides, I have some great news."

Kyohiko smiled and quickened his pace.

Hizashi was curious but didn't ask any questions. Instead, he led him Hiashi to Hiashi's location.

His older brother...

Hizashi sighed inwardly and quickly entered the courtyard.

"Master, Kyohiko has brought him."

"Um."

Hiashi nodded, a subtle hint of satisfaction flashing in his eyes.

Then, he looked at Kyohiko.

"Kyohiko, congratulations on your promotion to Anbu Captain."

Hiashi laughed heartily.

Kyohiko said, "Agent? For now, I'm still just an agent!"

Hiashi smiled without saying a word.

acting?

Ha, the Hyuga Clan has connections in the Anbu; how could he not know the current situation within the Anbu?

Kyohiko, through the power of Gekko Hayate, has completely subdued Gekko Shusaku and the Hayate Clan's ninjas. The remaining three squads have many members from the Ino-Shika-Cho trio...

Those three families also have a good relationship with Kyohiko.

As for the two advisors...

Without Hiruzen Sarutobi, those two wouldn't have had that much say.

Hiashi knows exactly what's going on.

He didn't immediately mention the matter of "repayment," but invited Kyohiko to sit down, had a maid bring tea, and chatted with Kyohiko with a smile, talking about his recent troubles.

Kyohiko was too lazy to play mind games.

Hiashi fans like this approach, but he doesn't.

"Hiashi, I have two pieces of good news with me."

"Two?"

Hiashi was secretly surprised.

What other good news is there?

He pondered for a moment, then smiled and said, "The first thing must be Lord Jiraiya's technique?"

"That's right, the second good thing is that I've made another breakthrough in Pressure Point Strike techniques."

Kyohiko smiled.

Hiashi's fingers trembled slightly, but his expression remained calm. He simply smiled and said, "For the Hyuga Clan, this might not necessarily be a good thing, right?"

"Great! I've discovered an acupoint that can be used to stimulate the body's potential and unleash Chakra. Of course, it's a forbidden technique now, so I can't demonstrate it for you."

Kyohiko sighed regretfully, paused for a few seconds, and then said, "However, my guess was correct. The human body has infinite potential, and the functions of acupoints are also infinitely versatile. They are not necessarily only used to seal Chakra."

"Really?"

Hiashi suddenly stood up, finally unable to maintain his composure.

The Hizashi nearby were even more shocked.

"Kyohiko, is this... is this true?"

"Of course, I wouldn't lie to you."

Kyohiko nodded.

The brothers, Hizashi Hiashi, exchanged glances, having already made up their minds. They invited Kyohiko to sit down again so the three of them could discuss it properly.

"We will hold another meeting to advise against this cooperation..."

"Hiashi- senpai, Hizashi- senpai, I've discovered something new. The value of this collaboration can no longer be calculated based on the initial assessment."

Kyohiko smiled.

Hiashi nodded slightly, unsurprised. "Of course, what benefits do you want?"

"Actually, it's nothing. If I discover the functions of certain acupoints with the Hyuga Clan, I need to make them public to some extent so that they can be disseminated to more ninjas in the village."

Kyohiko's expression was serious.

Hiashi thought for Hiashi and said, "Okay, after all, you provided the initial idea. But I hope you can share a copy of the forbidden technique you just mentioned with us."

It's a deal.
