Acupuncture and Pressure Points, a "Brand-New" Medical System

In the forest outside the Anbu base, the calls of monkeys and the cries of apes could be heard incessantly.

"This is the Monkey you caught?"

"Yes, it's easy to do with Genjutsu."

Orochimaru nodded.

Then, he sighed softly.

"Just like you said, Monkey and Ape are similar to humans in many ways, so their reproduction is also very similar to humans, requiring a long time to breed."

The breeding period is long...

This is not very beneficial for research.

Fortunately, these creatures exist in large numbers in nature, so there is no shortage in the short term. However, more effort will be needed in the breeding of Ninja Beast.

"If the Old Man is willing to help with the training of Ninja Beast, that would be wonderful."

Orochimaru glanced at Kyohiko.

The meaning is self-evident.

Kyohiko thought for a moment and nodded, "I will go to the Third Generation Lord to discuss whether we can get the Sarutobi Clan to exchange or help us."

Indeed, the Enma clan has the most authority on the cultivation of Monkey and apes.

It's unwise to have such resources but choose to go the long way around and explore on your own.

Orochimaru nodded, then asked, "Why did you suddenly suggest coming over? What kind of experiment do you want to conduct?"

"If the therapeutic experiments using acupoints prove feasible, these acupoints could become effective biological agents for medical treatment and various experiments in the future."

Kyohiko replied, "We'll need Hizashi -senpai's help with that."

"Huh? Me?"

The Hizashi was surprising.

He had been lost in thought and hadn't heard a word Kyohiko and Orochimaru were saying.

Kyohiko nodded. "I need your Byakugan to help monitor the Monkey's pressure points, Chakra pathways, and so on."

"Good."

Hizashi nodded.

Seconds later, Kyohiko caught a Monkey.

Theoretically speaking, Chakra exists within every living being, but some can use it while others cannot.

For example, the Monkey in front of us doesn't know how to use Chakra.

It squeaked, sounding both agitated and fearful.

but.

As its arms moved, Chakra circulated within its body.

The Hizashi activates the Byakugan for careful observation.

A few seconds later, a look of surprise appeared on his face. "It really exists! And it's very similar to the distribution of Chakra pathways and acupoints in humans!"

"Very good."

Both Kyohiko and Orochimaru showed expressions of joy.

This means that it can serve as the most perfect alternative material!

"Then, let's try Pressure Point Strike."

Kyohiko pointed his finger at the "Gate of Pain".

With his masterful Pressure Point Strike, he no longer needs to be so careful when using the "Five Gates Forbidden Points".

Just a gentle touch.

"Squeak squeak squeak!"

The Monkey roared in terror, but in an instant, its eyes gradually turned furious and crazed.

Even with the same force as before, Kyohiko could barely hold onto it.

"Efficient!"

Orochimaru's fingers moved in a five-elemental pattern, pressing against the area where the Monkey had just unleashed his Chakra, immediately sealing the Chakra back into place.

It immediately became weak.

"Incredible! Incredible!!"

Hizashi Hyuga was repeatedly amazed.

The ability to apply Pressure Point Strike can also be used on Monkey, which means...

If they are intelligent enough, could they even cultivate themselves like them?

"Remember that feeling you just experienced; that was Chakra."

Kyohiko used Genjutsu to soothe him, while whispering about what Chakra was.

The Monkey gradually calmed down.

It glanced cautiously at Orochimaru, then looked at Kyohiko, making "squeaks" sounds, but no one knew what it was saying, including Kyohiko, who could only understand its emotions.

But obviously...

It wasn't as terrified as before.

Even without Kyohiko casting Genjutsu, it still followed them, but due to the side effects of the forbidden technique, it was very listless and looked weak.

Orochimaru looked down at it, a hint of admiration in his eyes.

Even animals crave power...

He paused for a moment, patted the other person's head, and then looked up. "And then?"

"I'll try out more acupoint effects, summarize and generalize, and try to develop a comprehensive system. Before that, I need to write a report on the situation here and send it to the main body."

"Good."

Konoha Hospital.

Tsunade glanced at Utatane Koharu and saw that she was immersed in excitement and exhilaration, completely devoid of the anger she had shown before arriving. Her mood calmed down as well.

The old woman has always been like this, but she has made contributions to the maintenance and expansion of Konoha Hospital. Why should I bother with her?

Tsunade let out a sigh of relief.

"Let's go. Medical treatment has arrived here. This technology will definitely need to be promoted in the future, but how to promote it and how to practice it are things we need to discuss and research."

"Um."

Utatane Koharu.

Even though she didn't understand Pressure Point Strike or acupuncture, she knew that Medical Ninjutsu and skills required time and experience to hone through experimentation.

While ordinary Medical Ninjutsu can be replaced by animals like fish, what can be used to replace Pressure Point Strike and Acupuncture?

We can't use living people.

This is taboo.

Inside the office, Tsunade, Utatane Koharu, and Biwako Sarutobi met.

"Tsunade, Kyohiko, how many of these acupoints have you discovered?"

"Many acupoints have been discovered, but the key is how to verify and test them. Currently, the acupoints that have been proven to be useful for treatment are mainly those on the limbs and those close to the internal organs..."

Tsunade showed them Kyohiko's booklet.

Of course, she tore off the part about the "Five Gates Forbidden Points".

A few minutes later, Biwako Sarutobi put down the booklet.

"Tsunade, this technique is good, but the research and training process is extremely difficult. Do you have any solutions?"

This is the most crucial issue.

How to cultivate oneself?

No matter how powerful a technique is, if it cannot be practiced safely, it can only be shelved.

Alternatively, one might have to resort to methods that defy common sense.

What could Tsunade do?

She sat up straight and said, "This is also the main purpose of my discussion today: are there any alternative experimental materials?"

A moment of silence fell over the room.

None of the three could think of a solution.

At that moment, the door was pushed open.

Kyohiko walked in and said, "Don't worry, this problem was resolved this morning."

"Oh?"

A hint of surprise appeared on Tsunade's face. "You've come up with a solution?"

Utatane Koharu rooms, wanted to question it.

The words were on the tip of her tongue, but she swallowed them back.

Kyohiko, that kid, never does anything unprepared, and he knows them well enough that he wouldn't go so far as to experiment on people.

She's already embarrassed herself enough today and doesn't want to lose face again.

Without much thought, Biwako Sarutobi asked directly, "What method?"

"Monkey, I previously asked Orochimaru to help me collect and train a group of Monkey and Ape. Just now, it was confirmed that they also possess structures similar to human acupuncture points."

Kyohiko replied.

His Shadow Clone did this in the morning.

Tsunade was so excited that she stood up.

"Real?"

"Yes, I used a forbidden technique to confirm that they also have similar structures within their bodies, allowing them to unleash astonishing Chakra, strength, and physical abilities through this Pressure Point Strike technique."

"Very good!"

Tsunade was overjoyed, Utatane Koharu Biwako Sarutobi were equally delighted; the three of them couldn't sit still any longer.

The similar structure means they can perfectly undertake research and training in Medical Ninjutsu and techniques, solving the problems that used to give them a major headache.

This is no less significant than developing a new Ninjutsu technique.

"However, I have a request, or rather, a request."

"You say."

Utatane Koharu."

With such results, she would agree to two or three requests, let alone one.

"Without a doubt, compared to ordinary wild beasts, Ninja Beast are far more effective and have greater endurance. I would like to ask the Third Hokage for help in having the Enma clan guide them in their training."

Kyohiko made a request.

Tsunade and Utatane Koharu to look at Biwako Sarutobi.

As the wife of three generations, she has the most authority to speak on this matter.

Biwako Sarutobi hesitated somewhat.

"Apes and monkeys possess extremely high intelligence. If they also master Chakra cultivation, their intelligence might become even stronger, and then they could be used as experimental subjects..."

Tsunade and Utatane Koharu remained silent.

"Ninja Beast can be used as combat resources, as well as for experiments and research. Compared to humans, this is already a much better solution."

Kyohiko said.

Biwako Sarutobi said, "I will talk to Hiruzen and try my best to meet your needs."

The research and advancement of Ninjutsu indeed cannot be separated from various experiments.

Between humans and Ninja Beast, Ninja Beast are clearly more acceptable when necessary.

and.

The refinement of experimental subjects could very well lead to a complete revolution in Medical Ninjutsu, techniques, and systems, and any price paid would be entirely worthwhile.

In the evening, in one of the Sarutobi Clan estates, the family members were having a rare meal together.

but.

The atmosphere inside was so oppressive it was frightening.

Hiruzen Sarutobi glanced at his two sons and silently finished his meal.

Wait until everyone has finished eating.

I'm finished eating!

Asuma Sarutobi and Sarutobi Shinnosuke both put down their chopsticks.

The two were about to leave.

"Etc."

"Father, is something the matter?"

Sarutobi Shinnosuke stopped in his tracks.

Although Asuma was unwilling, he obediently stayed.

"Asuma, how's your training going lately?"

"Fine."

Asuma answered calmly.

The atmosphere was awkward.

Sarutobi Shinnosuke, however, talked about Asuma's training.

Two people were standing, and one person was sitting, but only the two of them were talking.

Later, Hiruzen Sarutobi of things to say, and seeing Asuma's expression, he immediately lost interest in continuing the conversation and waved his hand to indicate that they didn't need to stay any longer.

The two went outside.

Biwako Sarutobi was about to clear the dishes, but upon seeing this scene, she stopped and said, "Hiruzen, there are two things I need to discuss with you."

"What's up?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi puzzled.

Even if his wife has important matters to discuss, she usually talks about them before bed or in private, and rarely seeks his advice at this time.

"Should we let Asuma try out the Enma clan too?"

Biwako Sarutobi said.

Hiruzen Sarutobi pondered for a moment, then said, "Asuma, his strength is still somewhat lacking..."

"You just don't understand Asuma enough. This kid is different from Shinnosuke; he needs more affirmation, not constant denial of his efforts and ideas!"

Biwako Sarutobi refuted this with dissatisfaction.

Hiruzen Sarutobi wanted to refute, but couldn't find a reason to do so.

He doesn't really care much about the children; his current methods of raising and getting close to them are still the same ones he used with Shinnosuke.

but.

The two children have different personalities...

He sighed, "I'll try my best."

Hiruzen Sarutobi a drag of his cigarette, then glanced at her and said, "You must have something else to do, right?"

"It's that kid, Kyohiko. He discovered that the anatomy of animals like monkeys and Ape is very similar to that of humans, making them suitable as experimental subjects for Ninjutsu and medical research..."

Biwako Sarutobi spoke softly.

She described the situation in detail, and Hiruzen Sarutobi listened with a look of surprise.

Replacing humans with apes...

This method.

It wasn't bad, but he always felt that Kyohiko initially thought of this because of Orochimaru.

He remained silent for a few seconds.

Then, Hiruzen Sarutobi exhaled a puff of smoke.

"I can talk to Enma about it, but let Asuma Shinnosuke. I might not be suitable..."

Well!

Hiruzen Sarutobi a long sigh.

Biwako Sarutobi tidied the table and said, "Asuma seems strong, but he's actually soft-hearted and craves everyone's approval. Unfortunately, among his peers, there was Kakashi before, and now there's Kyohiko..."

"Even counting from the time of the First Hokage, there are few in Konoha who can compare to Kyohiko's talent."

Hiruzen Sarutobi bluntly replied, "Comparing yourself to him is just asking for trouble."

"Don't worry unnecessarily. You should compare yourself to the best, that's what gives you motivation! You always think he's doing something wrong, not good enough, can't you just acknowledge his abilities?"

Biwako Sarutobi couldn't help but scold him.

Hiruzen Sarutobi was speechless.

Outside, Asuma Sarutobi huddled in a corner, quietly eavesdropping on the conversation inside.

It's Kyohiko Yoshimine again...

but.

At this moment, Asuma Sarutobi was very calm.

He had been out of school for almost half a year, and was no longer the ambitious boy who had just graduated and dreamed of surpassing Kyohiko.

The more he cultivated himself, the more he understood the gap between them.

Putting everything else aside.

Just considering the difference in status--

The other party is already the Anbu Captain, leading a large group of people, and researching very advanced things every day, while I have to study even fist blades and Wind Release Ninjutsu for half a year.

"Asuma, come, let's continue our practical training today."

Sarutobi Shinnosuke turned back and said.

"Good."

Asuma got up and followed.

In any case, he has already lost three years and cannot afford to waste any more.

He wants to become stronger and catch up with those ahead of him!

No reward.

"I might need to participate in developing more techniques that can be used for acupuncture treatment. In addition, some concepts from my previous life can also be drawn upon."

"The research and summarization of acupoints can be gradually tested on Monkey. For now, we should focus on the Iburi Clan; the sooner they complete their Smoke Transformation ability, the sooner they can join the Anbu Intelligence Division for training."

Kyohiko was thinking about a plan.

However, no research can be completed in a day or two; training and research can be carried out simultaneously.

The next day, electricity and water were brought over from nearby locations along the route.

In just one day, the Iburi Clan's dwellings were connected to electricity and water, and Kyohiko Yamato went again to help them build ten more houses.

Twenty houses were enough for their entire clan to live in.

Iburi Gota grateful.

so.

He was also thinking about how to make his family generate value as quickly as possible to avoid being abandoned later.

Even though it was a sunken valley, surrounded on three sides, making it quiet and windless, they still dared not use their abilities casually.

From the outside world, they are worse off than ordinary people.

Upon seeing Kyohiko arrive, he immediately stepped forward with his two children.

"My lord, these two are among the most talented children in our clan. Her name is Yukimi, and his name is Tenzo."

Tenzo.

The real deal!

Kyohiko glanced at Yamato.

"Yamato, you will be in charge of teaching and guiding all the children of their clan from now on."

"Huh? Me?"

"Right!"

Kyohiko nodded.

Yamato looked at the girl in front of him, and the child who was about his age, his eyes shining.

He thought of the girl who used to spend time with him in the lab, and that gave him even more courage.

"Yes, I will do my best."
