Upon hearing Tsunade's words, Uchiha Yuzhen did not rush to act.
Instead, he gazed expectantly at Namikaze Minato.
Seeing this, Namikaze Minato rubbed his head in exasperation. "Yuzhen... just listen to Lady Tsunade and use the Mystical Palm Technique once."
"Besides, I am quite curious myself about you learning medical ninjutsu!"
He was indeed curious.
Judging by the conversation between Obito and Kakashi just moments ago, this kid Yuzhen had only learned medical ninjutsu from Rin a short while ago.
Although he had already mentally prepared himself for Yuzhen's "monster-like" nature, if it were true that he had mastered an A-rank medical ninjutsu in just one morning...
it would push the limits of what he considered possible.
He wanted to see for himself if it was truly the case.
Hearing his teacher's instruction, Uchiha Yuzhen raised his hands, and the moment he formed the hand seals, a green light representing healing emerged between his palms.
"No mistake, that is undoubtedly the Mystical Palm Technique." Orochimaru, for the first time, truly looked at Uchiha Yuzhen with new eyes.
He had previously dismissed this boy.
No matter how strong his power or how well he used the Flying Thunder God, he was just another "Minato."
But the ability to learn ninjutsu at such a rapid speed now shocked him.
His own goal was to learn every technique in the world.
It was with this goal in mind that the idea of immortality had sprouted.
After all, with a limited lifespan, learning infinite techniques...
humanity's short life was simply too inadequate!
"Hmph! I don't need you to tell me, we can see it!" Tsunade shot Orochimaru a sharp look before turning her head to fix a serious gaze upon Yuzhen.
As a master of medical arts, even if she dared not perform surgery at this moment due to her hemophobia, her experience and discernment remained sharp!
The green glow of this Mystical Palm Technique, along with the stable chakra frequency—
that stable frequency meant that as long as the boy learned to adjust his chakra output based on the severity of an illness in the future, he would be able to cure most diseases!
However, she still found it hard to believe.
She paced over to stand in front of Uchiha Yuzhen.
"Hm? What is it, Lady Tsunade?" Yuzhen felt a bit confused as the beautiful woman approached him.
Tsunade's prominent figure made his gaze drift slightly.
Tsunade reached out her hand and said in a low voice to Yuzhen, "Channel the chakra of the Mystical Palm Technique into my body. I want to see exactly how refined it is!"
"Tsunade, you don't have any wounds, do you?" Jiraiya had been watching for a while and, hearing her instruction, was left puzzled.
"Idiot! Just watch Tsunade's actions carefully." Orochimaru patted Jiraiya on the shoulder, stopping him from asking further questions.
Lest he get beaten up by Tsunade again...
Yuzhen was obedient; he took the slender hand Tsunade offered and began channeling the Mystical Palm chakra directly into her body.
A humming sound filled the air.
After about ten seconds, Tsunade furrowed her brows. "That's enough, stop the Mystical Palm Technique."
The obedient Yuzhen stopped immediately and stepped aside to stand quietly.
Tsunade remained silent, her brows tightly knit as she stared at Yuzhen.
Jiraiya dared not speak to Tsunade in this state, and Orochimaru had no desire to invite trouble.
The other juniors were all playing it safe and keeping quiet.
Seeing this, Namikaze Minato braced himself and asked Tsunade, "How is it, Lady Tsunade?"
"There is no issue with the Mystical Palm Technique whatsoever; he is a genius without a doubt." Tsunade replied quickly this time. "Aside from his lack of solid theoretical knowledge, his execution of the technique is flawless."
After responding to Namikaze Minato, she turned to look at the well-behaved Yuzhen.
"Kid," she said irritably, "didn't you want to learn medical ninjutsu? Then come with me!"
"If we wait any longer, even if you want to learn, there won't be enough time."
"Yes! Lady Tsunade!" Yuzhen bowed ninety degrees and responded loudly to Tsunade.
He lifted his head, his mind lingering on the second half of Tsunade's sentence.
He asked with some confusion, "If I learn it any later, there won't be enough time?"
Smack!
At this moment, Jiraiya seemed to remember something and slapped his own forehead.
He spoke to the juniors of Team Minato with a sheepish expression:
"Almost forgot. To deal with the outbreak of war, the Old Man has already finalized the deployment of personnel."
As he spoke, Jiraiya pointed to Orochimaru beside him and the bewildered Uchiha Yuzhen.
"Orochimaru, myself, and this kid Uchiha Yuzhen will all be departing for different borders in two days."
"We came here today to say goodbye to Minato, but we ran into you on the way and decided to drop by when we heard you were training."
"Huh?!" X4
The members of Team Minato all let out a cry of surprise!
"You get it now, you little brats?" Tsunade turned and walked away immediately. "Hurry up and follow me!"
"Understood, Teacher Tsunade!" Yuzhen seized the opportunity, calling her teacher before jogging to catch up.
The direction Tsunade and Yuzhen were heading was Konoha Hospital.
The location of Konoha Hospital was excellent.
Not only was it situated in the core district, but it also had convenient transportation, making it easy for patients to enter and exit.
This was equally convenient for Yuzhen and Tsunade.
It didn't take long for the two of them to arrive.
The sound of their footsteps echoed through the hospital.
Guided by Tsunade, who knew the place like the back of her hand, they arrived at a quiet room.
The room was quite spacious and filled with bookshelves.
"Where is this?" Yuzhen, who had followed Tsunade inside, looked at the surrounding bookshelves with confusion.
Tsunade didn't answer immediately; she walked over to a shelf and pulled out a book.
After checking the cover to confirm she hadn't grabbed the wrong one, she tossed it toward Yuzhen.
Whoosh!
Smack!
Yuzhen caught the book Tsunade had thrown.
Before he could react, Tsunade's voice reached him: "In terms of technique, you are indeed impeccable."
"But... medical knowledge isn't just about techniques."
As she spoke, Tsunade gestured to the surrounding bookshelves and continued proudly:
"Only when you have mastered all this knowledge can you claim to have achieved something in the field of medical ninjutsu."
"Time is a bit tight these next two days, so just finish reading this book first."
"In two days, when you head out on your mission, I will give you a reward based on your progress."
With that, she walked out of the room without waiting for Yuzhen to react.
Tsunade's intentions were simple.
She wanted to see if this Uchiha brat was a "true" Medical Genius.
If he was...
Then he would "devour" that book within two days.
If he couldn't, it would simply mean that the kid was...
Nothing more than a genius at "techniques," not worth her continued effort.
A somewhat dazed Uchiha Yuzhen watched Tsunade leave.
Coming back to his senses, he opened the book to take a look.
So that's how it is... a test, huh?
The content of the book wasn't difficult; it was all introductory material.
He understood Tsunade's intentions; it was likely a test.
He did not care much about this.
For him right now, what mattered was verifying the Affixes
he had obtained while interacting with Tsunade!
