Simplified Water Wall

Judging from the table of contents, the entire book was devoted to explaining the concept and basic principles of medical ninjas.

It seemed that education about medical ninjutsu had already begun in school.

No wonder Sakura and Rin had been able to pick up medical ninjutsu training so quickly after graduation.

They had already built a foundation for it at school.

The material was simply dry and boring, so it was no surprise that Obito, Hokage, and the others could not absorb it.

But Hyuga Seisen's eyes lit up.

Just yesterday, he had been worrying about how his physical abilities could not improve significantly in the short term.

He was afraid that when the Third Shinobi World War came, he would be sent to the front as cannon fodder. At the same time, he did not want to reveal his Quincy abilities too soon.

"Medical ninja!"

"Isn't this a path perfectly suited for me?"

Medical ninjas were positioned as non-frontline combat personnel and were usually stationed in the relatively safe rear of a team.

That perfectly avoided the ingrained assumption that members of the Hyuga Clan belonged in reconnaissance and on the front lines.

Otherwise, with the Hyuga surname, he would most likely be assigned to the most dangerous scouting duties and frontline taijutsu positions when teams were formed.

Even if his Quincy abilities gradually became known in the future, they would not conflict with the identity of a medical ninja.

They could even complement each other: the medical ninja healed in the rear while Sacred Arrow precisely sniped enemies from afar.

It was practically the perfect tactical combination.

He was like a jungle huntress—capable of healing and fighting, effective at both close and long range.

In terms of talent, Quincies themselves were masters of precise energy manipulation.

That perfectly met the nearly demanding requirements medical ninjas had for chakra control.

Coupled with the Hyuga Clan's innate Byakugan, he was practically born to become a doctor.

Internal bleeding, organ damage, displaced bones.

Before the Byakugan, they were as clear as glass, allowing him to complete an "X-ray scan" in an instant.

Moreover, the extreme chakra control developed through medical ninjutsu could in turn nurture the growth of his Quincy abilities.

Of course, this did not mean he had to walk this path to the bitter end.

His plan was to master several practical medical ninjutsu techniques for emergencies.

At the same time, he could obtain the official identity of a "medical ninja," which would be enough to let him reasonably slack off in a team and safely fire cold arrows from the rear.

This was only a transition.

During this time, he could continuously accumulate Energy Crystals and explore the secrets beyond the Stone Gate.

Once his physical abilities or chakra reserves underwent a qualitative leap, he could consider changing to another path.

With both the Stone Gate and Quincy potential, he might not be unable to contend with those lofty Ōtsutsuki in the future.

However, he remembered that learning medical ninjutsu seemed to require the chakra nature of Yang Release.

In theory, everyone should possess both Yin and Yang attributes.

Yet through the Stone Gate's personal information panel, he had not seen Yang Release listed among his chakra attributes.

Then perhaps I need to awaken it through specific training?

Or wait for some unbelievably lucky Favor to directly reward me with the relevant attribute?

No matter what, there was nothing wrong with working toward that goal first.

He continued immersing himself in the book, carefully reading page after page.

Time always passed quickly when he was focused. In what felt like the blink of an eye, the afternoon classes were nearing their end again.

Hyuga Seisen closed the book and stretched contentedly.

When he turned his head, he found his deskmate, Hyuga Ayane, nibbling on cookies. Her large eyes fluttered as she looked at him with open curiosity.

"What is it?" Hyuga Seisen asked.

Hyuga Ayane swallowed the cookie in her mouth and said indistinctly,

"You seem to really like that book? I tried talking to you several times this afternoon, but you ignored me."

"Huh?" Hyuga Seisen felt a little embarrassed upon hearing that and smiled apologetically.

"Sorry. I was thinking about something and got so absorbed that I didn't notice."

Hyuga Ayane shook her head, just about to say something else.

The next moment.

The school dismissal bell rang.

She forcibly swallowed the words that were about to leave her mouth and grabbed her remaining cookies.

"See you tomorrow!"

With that, she vanished from Hyuga Seisen's sight at top speed, leaving him staring wide-eyed.

"Did she really have to be that punctual..."

He shook his head, tidied up his desk, then got up and left school as well.

After going upstairs and taking a shower, he finally lay comfortably back on his own bed.

Then his consciousness entered the Sea of Consciousness.

This time, he shifted his attention to the Energy Crystals section.

Five hundred and twenty. Added to the original twenty, that made a total of five hundred and forty Energy Crystals.

At a fixed ratio, that could increase his Fusion Rate by 27%.

Without a second thought, he pressed the "+" beside Fusion Rate.

As the Energy Crystals decreased, his Quincy Fusion Rate rose sharply.

He felt new things constantly being poured into his body.

Finally, the Energy Crystals were completely depleted.

His Fusion Rate had reached 67.52%.

Hyuga Seisen could feel that with the substantial increase in Fusion Rate,

his control over Quincy abilities and chakra control had both improved tremendously.

The light arrows that had originally dissipated after being fired thirty meters instantly could now reach forty meters.

The time needed to condense arrows for long-range attacks had also been greatly reduced.

He went to the backyard. Since the yard was not large enough for forty meters, he did not test his light arrows.

Instead, he tried out his chakra control.

He used the Water Style: Water Formation Wall from his previous experiment again.

This time, he could reduce the original four hand seals for Water Style: Water Formation Wall to three.

And doing so did not slow down the casting speed.

With his current control, if he formed all four seals properly, he would be able to cast the ninjutsu much faster than before.

If you can't find the book by its title, try searching for the author. It may simply have been renamed!

However, the way he reduced hand seals was different from the Second Hokage's.

He relied purely on his high chakra control to replace the guidance of one hand seal with conscious chakra manipulation.

The Second Hokage, on the other hand, had used his unmatched talent to optimize one hand seal that guided a single chakra route.

Into one hand seal that guided two chakra routes.

That was also why he could teach the Simplified Water Wall to Maruboshi Kosuke.

After all, Maruboshi Kosuke did not possess chakra control as terrifying as the Second Hokage's.

After that, he tried forming the seals for C-rank ninjutsu as well.

For something like the Water Clone Technique, he could now reduce the original three seals to one.

If he cast it one-handed, he could use two one-handed seals to release it.

After confirming the limits of his abilities once more, Hyuga Seisen was in an excellent mood.

Just as he was preparing to return to his room.

His grandmother's voice came from behind him.

"I knew it was you, you little brat, wasting all the water."

He turned around and saw that his grandmother had somehow come to the backyard as well.

She pointed at the empty water vat and the puddles on the ground, glaring at him furiously.

"You're already this grown, yet you still play with water. Last time, you wasted all my water too."

As she spoke, his grandmother picked up a bamboo switch and prepared to strike Hyuga Seisen.

"Ah, ah, ah..." Hyuga Seisen cried out as he repeatedly dodged.

"Grandma, I'm practicing ninjutsu!"

"You're still lying, trying to fool your illiterate grandmother. What ninjutsu would our Hyuga Clan practice?"

His grandmother raised the bamboo switch again as she spoke.

"Grandma, look!"

Hyuga Seisen hurriedly used the water on the ground to create a small water curtain for her.

Seeing the water on the ground form a constantly rotating curtain under her grandson's control,

the anger on the elderly woman's face gradually faded, and she lowered the bamboo switch she had raised high.

"Then remember to fill Grandma's water vat back up."

"No problem."

"What do you want to eat tonight? Grandma will go prepare the ingredients."

Seeing her grandson diligently training, the elderly woman once again showed her doting side.

"No need, Grandma!"

Hyuga Kaze was still waiting at the hospital.

If he waited for his grandmother to finish cooking and ate first,

then went out to buy food for him afterward, Hyuga Kaze would have to wait a long time.

Hyuga Seisen hurriedly shook his head and said, "Grandma, I want to eat out tonight."

"Eating out again? Where are you going to eat?"

The elderly woman pursed her lips, looking thoroughly unwilling.

"Uh, the sushi place next to the bathhouse!"

Hyuga Seisen casually made up a restaurant.

"Oh dear, that place isn't sanitary. I heard the owner blows his nose and wraps sushi without washing his hands."

"Then I'm not going there."

Hyuga Seisen shuddered at his grandmother's words.

"I'll just buy a few buns to eat."

"Grandma can make buns for you. Who knows what kind of lymph meat they use in those buns outside? How could you eat that?"

"Then I'll have fried chicken, all right?"

"That oil is old oil. They never change it for years..."

"Okay, okay, Grandma."

Hyuga Seisen interrupted the elderly woman's spellcasting.

"Grandma, just let me eat out for once, okay?"

Under her grandson's pleading, the elderly woman finally softened.

"All right, but don't come back too late."

"Don't worry, Grandma."

Hyuga Seisen turned to go back to his room and change clothes.

"You're going out without filling Grandma's water vat first?"

His grandmother looked at him unhappily.

"You father and son never remember anything. Whenever I ask you to do something, I have to repeat it three or four times."

"Ah, ah, Grandma, I'll fill it right away."

After Hyuga Seisen filled the water vat he had emptied,

he changed into another set of clothes and headed out.

Hyuga Seisen walked down the street, looking at the many different kinds of food lining both sides.

There was so much to choose from that he genuinely had no idea what to eat.

Suddenly.

A small shop ahead caught his eye.

He walked over and took a look.

Ichiraku Ramen!

Hyuga Seisen's eyes lit up.

This was the one!

He had wanted to try the ramen that Hokage had constantly talked about last time.

But he had not gotten the chance.

This time, he would have a proper taste.

"Young ninja, what kind of ramen would you like?"

Ichiraku greeted him warmly.

Hyuga Seisen looked over the many flavors of ramen on display and was just about to speak.

Then, from the corner of his eye, he suddenly caught sight of a familiar graceful figure seated near the edge behind the curtain in the corner.

He turned to look and discovered that it was actually Hyuga Ayane.
