Sure enough, a fat sheep

"The effect was a little too intense!"

Uchiha You held up the healed rabbit. The rabbit, originally white and smooth, had shed all its fur for some irresistible reason, leaving behind skin that looked blood-red.

Its exposed muscles were larger and more defined than those of an ordinary rabbit.

It looked like a monster from Resident Evil!

It only held on for a dozen or so minutes before turning into a corpse.

"I'm sure I used the Healing Technique. It looks like my Healing Technique also contains radioactive elements."

"The dangers of radioactive elements exceeded my imagination."

Other people could heal someone with a single Healing Technique, while one Healing Technique from You could strengthen the body—except the death came a little too quickly.

"No, if I showed this Healing Technique to Tsunade, she definitely wouldn't acknowledge it."

They had only suffered a cut wound, yet one Healing Technique had sent them straight to the afterlife. That was going too far.

He needed to deal with the radioactive elements within it, or he could forget about mastering the Healing Technique.

That delicate balance would require slow experimentation.

The several trembling rabbits sensed danger approaching and curled themselves into even tighter balls.

"Don't worry. If the treatment process becomes too painful, I'll end your lives early."

Even he could not bear to watch the rabbits suffer any longer.

"For the sake of my Monster Strength Fist, I still need you to keep shining and giving off heat for me."

Over the next few days, he mixed a small amount of radioactive elements into the Healing Technique he had already mastered. As long as he reduced those radioactive elements to a reasonable range, they would not trigger genetic mutations.

At the same time, he did not abandon the improved Healing Technique. It was an excellent way to strengthen the body, though it came at the cost of life. Once he gained better control over radioactive elements in the future, the altered Self-Healing Technique could produce unexpected results.

Tsunade had no idea that Uchiha You had already mastered the Healing Technique. She sorted through the data with disappointment written all over her face.

The teaching of Healing Technique had already been made public. In order to select promising candidates with medical aptitude, Konoha spared no expense in training medical ninjas.

Unfortunately, ideals were full and reality was thin.

Several days passed in succession, yet only a handful met the qualifications. Moreover, all of them were already Jonin, so it could only be offered as an elective.

After all, Jonin were extremely busy. They often left the village and had no time to calmly study advanced Medical Ninjutsu.

"Rather than letting them learn Medical Ninjutsu, I'd be better off having Kushina help me."

The more Tsunade organized things, the more irritated she became. Promoting Medical Ninjutsu required an enormous amount of time and manpower, yet the final result could only be called a failure.

"It seems there's no way forward in having the village's ninjas learn Medical Ninjutsu. In the future, we can only start training them as students. It would be best to include medical knowledge in the Ninja Academy and let them learn from childhood."

"That's right, I should learn from You! Let them be exposed to medicine from a young age."

After carefully making her plans, Tsunade prepared to submit the newest proposal to the Hokage. However, there was one drawback. Turbulence had recently appeared in the ninja world, and no one knew when the next storm would erupt.

Training Ninja Academy students into medical ninjas would take at least three or four years. Tsunade feared there would not be enough time.

"I hope I can be given some time."

"Knock, knock, knock!"

"Come in."

The knocking outside interrupted Tsunade's thoughts. She instinctively looked up and saw You walk in.

"I succeeded, Lady Tsunade."

"I knew you would fail. You should just properly study Fire Release..."

She had already prepared words of comfort. Yet halfway through speaking, she realized Uchiha You had not said that he had failed.

He seemed to have said he succeeded?

"You succeeded? How could you possibly have succeeded?"

Tsunade looked at Uchiha You suspiciously. She still did not believe he could succeed.

She could not shake the feeling that he was deceiving her.

But the green glow that appeared in the next second shattered Tsunade's composure.

"You actually might have learned the Healing Technique!"

Something that overturned her understanding of the world had appeared. You's Healing Technique was real, but this scene overturned the experimental data from some time ago.

The Uchiha Clan truly could use the Healing Technique!

"Uh..."

Seeing Tsunade's bewildered expression, he felt as if her worldview had shattered.

"I even brought the little white rabbit over."

Following the familiar process, he sliced open the rabbit's paw with a kunai, then let the green Healing Technique fall upon it.

Within a few breaths, the rabbit's injury had completely healed.

This proved that Uchiha You had truly mastered the Healing Technique, and he was extremely proficient with it.

"Sigh."

Tsunade slumped into her chair with a dispirited expression. She needed a moment to process her freshly rebuilt worldview.

"If you can learn the Healing Technique, that means you can become a medical ninja. The village is currently severely lacking medical ninjas."

She considered how to coax him into becoming a medical ninja. Did she have to compete with Orochimaru for him?

Or should she ask the Uchiha Clan and explain his situation? After all, there were many outstanding Fire Release ninjas, but outstanding medical ninjas were scarce.

"On the battlefield and during missions, an outstanding medical ninja is more useful than a combat ninja. You can consider following me and properly studying Medical Ninjutsu."

"I'll think about it carefully."

He knew how medical ninjas were treated on the battlefield. As a rare type of soldier with special status, they generally had a small squad assigned to protect them. Even if they fell into enemy hands, they would not need to worry about their lives.

No faction would willingly kill a medical ninja!

However, studying medical knowledge required a great deal of time. Uchiha You knew that major changes were coming to the ninja world, so he could not devote his time to Medical Ninjutsu.

After all, strength was what truly mattered.

"Also..."

You lightly coughed twice and brought up their previous wager.

Sensing the killing intent around him and Tsunade's hostile gaze, he slowly extended his right hand, hoping to receive the training method for the Monster Strength Fist.

"I knew you brat had ulterior motives. You tricked me into giving you my Monster Strength Fist."

"But there's no ninjutsu scroll for the Monster Strength Fist. It's a special method of exerting force. Since you learned the Healing Technique, your chakra control should be fine. Come with me to the training ground this afternoon, and I'll teach you the Monster Strength Fist."

"Just thinking about it makes me angry. Orochimaru's disciple is learning my abilities instead."

Tsunade claimed to be angry, but she did not truly resist the idea. Although You was not her disciple, he had spent a long time at her side and was the disciple of her good friend Orochimaru. They could be considered part of the same lineage.

Teaching him the Monster Strength Fist did not count as giving it to an outsider.

"Thank you, Lady Tsunade!"

With Tsunade's Monster Strength Fist and his current physical strength, he could truly be said to have grown wings like a tiger.

Moreover, Uchiha You was confident that he would surpass Tsunade in the power of the Monster Strength Fist in the future.

"You brat! Study Medical Ninjutsu properly! I'll speak to Orochimaru myself!"
