A Real Fat Sheep

"That effect was a bit too intense!"

Uchiha Yuu held the healed rabbit. Its once snowy-white, smooth fur had completely fallen out due to some irresistible factor, leaving behind skin that looked almost blood-red.

Its exposed muscles were visible, with lines and size far exceeding those of an ordinary rabbit.

It looked like a monster from Resident Evil!

It only held on for a little over ten minutes before turning into a corpse.

"I'm sure I used the Healing Technique. It seems my Healing Technique contains radioactive elements as well."

"The danger of radioactive elements exceeds imagination."

Other people could heal someone with a single Healing Technique. Yuu's Healing Technique could strengthen the body, except the target died a little too quickly.

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

They had merely suffered a slash wound, yet one Healing Technique 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 gradual experimentation.

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

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

Even he could not bear to keep watching the rabbits suffer.

"For the sake of my Monster Strength Fist, I still need you to keep giving your all for me."

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

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

Tsunade had no idea Uchiha Yuu had already mastered the Healing Technique. She sorted through the data with a disappointed expression.

The teaching of Healing Technique had already been made public. In order to identify those with potential in medical care, Konoha spared no expense in cultivating medical ninja.

Unfortunately, ideals were full, while reality was thin.

Several days passed, yet only a handful of people met the qualifications. Those people were all Jonin as well, 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 quietly study advanced Medical Ninjutsu.

"Rather than having them learn Medical Ninjutsu, I might as well ask Kushina to help me."

The more Tsunade organized her notes, the more irritated she became. Promoting Medical Ninjutsu required not only a great deal of time, but also a great deal of manpower, and the final result could only be called a failure.

"It seems making the village's ninja learn Medical Ninjutsu won't work. In the future, we can only start cultivating them as students. It would be best to incorporate medical knowledge into the Ninja Academy and let them study it from childhood."

"Right, I should learn from Yuu! Let them be exposed to medicine from an early age."

After carefully making her plans, Tsunade prepared to submit the newest proposal to the Hokage. However, there was one drawback. The Shinobi World had recently begun to stir, and no one knew when the next upheaval would erupt.

Training Ninja Academy students into medical ninja would take at least three or four years. Tsunade worried 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 Yuu walk in.

"I succeeded, Lady Tsunade."

"I knew you would fail. You should just focus on learning Fire Release..."

She had already prepared words of consolation, but halfway through, she realized Uchiha Yuu had not said he failed.

He seemed to have said he succeeded?

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

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

She felt as though he was deceiving her.

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

"You might have actually learned the Healing Technique!"

Something that overturned her worldview had happened. Yuu's Healing Technique was real, yet this scene overturned the experimental data from some time ago.

The Uchiha Clan really could use the Healing Technique!

"Uh..."

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

"I also brought the little white rabbit."

Following the familiar procedure, he used a kunai to cut the rabbit's paw, then cast the green Healing Technique upon it.

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

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

"Ah..."

Tsunade slumped into her chair with a dejected expression. She needed a moment to process her newly reconstructed worldview.

"Being able to learn the Healing Technique means you can become a medical ninja. The village is severely lacking medical ninja right now."

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

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

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

"I'll consider it carefully."

He knew how medical ninja were treated on the battlefield. As a rare troop type with a special status, they were generally protected by a small squad, and even if they fell into enemy hands, they did not need to worry about their lives.

No force would willingly kill a medical ninja!

However, studying medical knowledge required a great deal of time. Uchiha Yuu knew the Shinobi World would undergo major changes soon, so he could not devote his time to Medical Ninjutsu.

After all, strength was what truly mattered.

"Also..."

Yuu coughed lightly and mentioned their original bet.

Sensing the killing intent around him and Tsunade's unfriendly 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."

"However, there is no ninjutsu scroll for the Monster Strength Fist. It is a special technique for exerting force. Learning the Healing Technique proves you have no problem with chakra control. Come with me to the training ground this afternoon, and I will teach you the Monster Strength Fist."

"The more I think about it, the angrier I get. Orochimaru's disciple is going to learn my abilities instead."

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

Giving the Monster Strength Fist to him was not the same as giving it to an outsider.

"Thank you, Lady Tsunade!"

With Tsunade's Monster Strength Fist and his current physical strength, he would be like a tiger with wings.

Moreover, Uchiha Yuu was confident that his future strength with the Monster Strength Fist would surpass Tsunade's.

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