Healing Technique

Chiba Yuyin finally revealed the first hint of a smile at the sight.

The person she had been waiting for had finally arrived.

"88 points. You passed!"

She announced the result in public, cheerfully writing 88 in Hyuga Qingchuan's row on the form.

However, Hyuga Qingchuan frowned at the sight.

He was certain that he had controlled his chakra and traced the pattern exactly. Even if there were discrepancies, they should not have been significant.

But since he had only scored 88, there had to be details he had overlooked.

He formed a seal with one hand and activated his Byakugan.

In an instant, his vision became much clearer.

When he looked at the whiteboard again, every detail he had failed to notice before emerged one by one.

It was because of the distance between his hand and the whiteboard.

Without activating the Byakugan, he had not noticed some of the finer details in the pattern at all.

As a result, he had inevitably made a few mistakes while drawing it.

When the people below saw Hyuga Qingchuan suddenly activate his Byakugan, they could not understand what he was doing either.

Hadn't he already passed the test?

Why activate the Byakugan now?

It was not until they saw Hyuga Qingchuan place his hand on the handle again—

—that they realized he actually wanted to take the test a second time.

"No way, he's not satisfied with 88 points? Is he trying to leave the rest of us no way to live?"

"Yeah, does he have to show off this hard?"

"What do you know? Senior Qingchuan strives for perfection. That's called ambition."

"You're just a fangirl blindly praising him. Shut up."

"Bastard! I'm definitely filing a complaint against you for insulting a girl."

This time, Hyuga Qingchuan completed the pattern even faster than before.

98!

The final score appeared on the computer display.

"98 points? What a freak!"

"Comparisons really do make people furious."

"Exactly. How can the gap between people be this absurd?"

Wails of despair rose from the crowd below.

Beside them, Chiba Yuyin's eyes widened as well.

This was only a chakra control test for beginners, but this was truly outrageous.

After all, when this machine had first been made—

Lady Tsunade had tested it in person and only scored 96.

He had scored two points higher than Lady Tsunade.

Seeing Hyuga Qingchuan looking at her, she slightly gathered her wandering thoughts and announced publicly,

"98 points. You passed!"

Then she wrote the number 98 on the paper.

Hyuga Qingchuan was very satisfied with this result as well.

Since he had already decided to play the role of a medical ninja for a while, he naturally had to display his best side.

That way, when the higher-ups considered abandoning him, there would be a few more weights on his side of the scale.

He removed his right hand from the handle, turned around, and prepared to step down.

Everyone sighed in relief at the sight. Things had finally settled down.

"Teacher, he cheated! He used the Byakugan!"

A questioning voice suddenly rang out from within the crowd.

Everyone turned to look at a person dressed in a black robe.

The black-robed person had been trying to conceal himself, but the surrounding people scattered with a bang.

Under everyone's gaze, the black-robed person looked rather uncomfortable.

Hyuga Qingchuan looked over as well. From the Byakugan's perspective, he discovered that the black-robed person was actually...

Uchiha Tsukasa?

He had thought all along that he was from the Aburame Clan.

Why was an Uchiha wearing a black robe?

"Uchiha Tsukasa, right?" Chiba Yuyin exposed him in a single sentence.

"There isn't anyone from the Aburame Clan on the roster. The only one left who hasn't shown himself is someone named Uchiha Tsukasa. That's you, isn't it?"

"The assessment requires verification of your identity. Please remove your black robe."

Seeing this, Uchiha Tsukasa had no choice but to remove the robe and reveal his face.

"So he really is an Uchiha. I didn't expect them to come learn Medical Ninjutsu too."

"Yeah, aren't they all proud of fighting?"

Uchiha Tsukasa blushed slightly under everyone's discussion.

He hurriedly changed the subject. "Teacher, he cheated. His score shouldn't count because he used the Byakugan."

Chiba Yuyin glanced at him. "You can take the test with the Sharingan too."

"I-I haven't awakened it yet!"

"Then come back for the assessment after you awaken it."

"How can that work?"

"If it doesn't, shut up!"

Uchiha Tsukasa could only retreat.

Chiba Yuyin rolled her eyes at him, then continued,

"Cheng Ren, come up for your assessment. Kurai Mitsuru, prepare yourself."

Seeing that his score was valid, Hyuga Qingchuan nodded to Chiba Yuyin and stepped down to make room.

"Qingchuan, you're amazing!"

The moment he came down, Hinata Ayane gathered around him and said happily.

Then she asked, "Why didn't you use that technique you taught me?"

"No need for it." Hyuga Qingchuan waved a hand.

Then, imitating Hinata Ayane's proud expression, he said,

"Chakra control? I learned that when I was four. Even my grandma said I was a genius!"

At his words, Hinata Ayane's fair little face and neck immediately turned red.

She gave a soft huff and punched Hyuga Qingchuan in the chest a few times with her little fist.

"You're making fun of me..."

"I remembered wrong. It was my grandpa who praised me."

"You're still saying it!"

"..."

Time passed bit by bit, and Uchiha Tsukasa and Hinata Ayane both went up for their assessments in turn.

In the end, Uchiha Tsukasa passed with 52 points.

Hinata Ayane, meanwhile, used the technique Hyuga Qingchuan had taught her and passed with 63 points.

As soon as she came down, everyone surrounded her and asked her to help them with Acupoint Sealing.

Chiba Yuyin stopped them.

There was nothing wrong with passing using one's own Bloodline Limit.

But what was the point of having someone else help?

She drove away the people surrounding Hinata Ayane and continued the assessment.

However, Hyuga Qingchuan was drawn to the words before his eyes.

[With your absolute chakra control, you have refreshed everyone's understanding. You have obtained Favor.]

[Basic Medical Knowledge*1]

[Healing Technique (Beginner)*1]

[Energy Crystals*30]

The Healing Technique had arrived too, along with 30 Energy Crystals.

Hyuga Qingchuan was extremely pleased.

He had deliberately gone out to wipe out bandits and worked himself half to death for only 20, while also delaying several days of physical training.

Today, merely showing off had earned him 30, along with Medical Ninjutsu and medical knowledge.

Sure enough, he still had to follow his own rhythm.

The assessment was completed quickly.

The third floor of the entire hospital had been packed with people.

In the end, fewer than one in ten passed the assessment.

After it ended, they were divided up again.

Those who had not activated their Yang Release Chakra Attribute would undergo activation training.

Those who had already activated it were assigned to the next stage, where they would study the nature transformation of Yang Release chakra.

It was only then that Hyuga Qingchuan learned—

that everyone possessed the Yang Release Chakra Attribute.

It was simply that some were in an activated state, while others were not.

After testing, Uchiha Tsukasa was found to be in an unactivated state.

Hyuga Qingchuan and Hinata Ayane were already activated.

The two of them were assigned to the nature transformation class.

Then the teacher discovered that Hyuga Qingchuan quickly mastered the nature transformation of Yang Release.

So he skipped this stage again and entered the Medical Ninjutsu learning stage.

Then the teacher discovered that this Hyuga Qingchuan could learn the Healing Technique after seeing it just once.

His medical knowledge was also incredibly solid.

This made Konoha Hospital absolutely delighted.

Because medical resources were scarce, the hospital had always used women like men and men like beasts.

Everyone went home every day feeling completely drained.

Some had been married for years and still lacked the energy to have children.
