Konoha Hospital, Medical Department.
Tsunade sat in a chair, casually crossing her legs, holding the application documents in her hand while curiously observing Jingyi Hyuga's unusual eyes.
"Jingyi Hyuga, because of your bloodline degeneration, you left your ninja squad, applied to study in the Medical Department, and want to become a medical ninja?"
"Yes, I want to become a medical ninja and find a way to cure the bloodline disease."
Jingyi gave his reason and explanation.
Looking across the entire Shinobi World, medical ninjas had always been in short supply, even in Konoha, which valued the training of medical ninjas.
Naturally, Tsunade was glad that someone took the initiative to apply to study in the Medical Department.
The only regret was that the other party originally belonged to the Hyuga Clan, but unfortunately contracted the bloodline disease.
Tsunade said pointedly, "Can you talk about your eyes?"
Tsunade was very curious. Given that it was also bloodline degeneration, why were Jingyi's eyes different from everyone else's?
Azure-blue pupils with a black dot right in the center, just like a glowing blue star, beautiful and mysterious.
Faced with Tsunade's inquiry, Jingyi replied calmly:
"I was injured while going out on a mission with my squad. During my recovery, my eyes began to show symptoms like fear of strong light and blurry vision. After receiving treatment, the phenomenon of bloodline degeneration appeared."
Others thought Jingyi's Byakugan was degenerating, little knowing that this so-called degeneration was actually evolution!
The matter started before Jingyi time-traveled.
He and a close friend were playing a certain Naruto mobile game. Three days before the game servers opened, there was a top-up promotion event. Topping up 648 gave players a chance at an epic draw, with an extremely high probability of getting rare props and items.
Jingyi resolutely chose to spend money, and his luck during the draw wasn't bad either, directly drawing the Tenseigan with a single pull.
Just as Jingyi was about to find his friend and show off, a sudden wave of dizziness hit his brain, his vision began to darken, and he just collapsed straight onto the sofa, unconscious.
When he woke up, he realized he had time-traveled, coming to the shinobi world.
When his injuries improved and the first fetal movement of the Tenseigan ended, Jingyi used the excuse of the bloodline disease to quit his ninja squad and instead submitted an application to study at the Medical Department.
"I approve your application. You will begin your studies starting tomorrow. I hope you can temporarily put aside the matter of the bloodline disease, calm your mind, and study earnestly."
"Yes, Lady Tsunade."
The matter of the application was finally settled, and Jingyi breathed a sigh of relief.
His reason for applying to study in the Medical Department and further promoting himself to a medical ninja was very simple—he didn't want to risk his life for the clan and the so-called Will of Faith.
As long as he became a medical ninja and applied to work at Konoha Hospital, the clan couldn't order him to execute clan missions in the name of the clan, nor would he need to take on missions and commissions in the village.
In the Shinobi World, a medical ninja definitely belonged to a profession that made money very easily and had a very high income.
Leaving Konoha Hospital, Jingyi specially bought a few bottles of color-fast paint, along with a drawing board, paper, and other things before returning home.
Unlike other ninja clans, the architectural layout of the Hyuga Clan Grounds was bizarre.
With the Main House patriarch's mansion as the core, the residences of the remaining Main House members guarded the patriarch's mansion, followed by the residences of many Branch House heads guarding the Main House compound, spreading outward in circles.
Members with lower status in the clan lived in increasingly remote areas.
Jingyi belonged to the members living in the remote area.
Closing the door, Jingyi put his things down and walked into the bathroom carrying a bottle of green paint.
When Jingyi removed his headband, his forehead had already been dyed entirely green.
Jingyi's Caged Bird Seal had already disappeared after the first stage of the Tenseigan's fetal movement ended, and the mark on his forehead was something he painted on with a paint pen.
Unfortunately, the paint at home would fade.
That was why Jingyi specially bought color-fast paint.
He also bought things like a drawing board along the way to make people mistakenly think he was learning to paint.
The Tenseigan needed to go through three fetal movements to stabilize, and during this period, Jingyi could not use the power of the Tenseigan, and during each fetal movement, he also needed to hide in a room with closed doors and windows, waiting for the fetal movement to end.
Fortunately, these problems could all be explained by the bloodline disease.
The clan firmly believed this; Jingyi was not the first person in the Hyuga Clan to experience bloodline degeneration.
It was just that the way clan members looked at him had begun to change.
The Byakugan was a pupil technique the Hyuga Clan was proud of, and bloodline degeneration meant losing the Byakugan, losing his original status and value.
Jingyi didn't care what his clansmen thought of him; a decaying, dark, and unfair clan like the Hyuga was not worth his allegiance and devotion either.
Once he became a medical ninja, he would move out of the Hyuga Clan Grounds.
Not caring about other people's views did not mean Jingyi was willing to be looked down upon or accept unequal treatment from his clansmen.
Using the paint pen to draw the Caged Bird Seal on his forehead, Shizune observed carefully before snapping her fingers in satisfaction, "Perfect!"
Having finished the disguise for the seal, Jingyi came to the courtyard to begin training.
Gentle Fist and things like that were directly ignored by him.
Starting today, he needed to work hard to raise the intensity of his chakra control; this was a necessary condition for becoming a medical ninja.
Once his Tenseigan finished its three fetal movements, he could directly upend the Main House, so why would he care about any Gentle Fist.
Tree-climbing and water-surface walking training exercises couldn't stump Jingyi, but this was only the entry-level for meticulously controlling chakra. Wanting to become a medical ninja required continuous hard work.
Early the next morning, Jingyi brought along his bento box, some notebooks for recording, and pens, then rushed to Konoha Hospital.
The Medical Department and Konoha Hospital were connected; he just needed to head straight to Konoha Hospital and wait for Tsunade's arrangements.
He didn't wait long before Tsunade arrived, yawning with somewhat messy hair.
"Read these books, and then tell me what level your chakra control has reached. I'm very sleepy right now and don't have the time to teach you."
Finished speaking, Tsunade slumped onto the desk and fell right asleep.
Tsunade teaching me personally?
Jingyi hadn't expected to gain the favor of a big shot.
No, Tsunade at this period wasn't a big shot yet; she hadn't even acquired the title of Three Sannin.
She could only be considered a medical Jonin with decent strength.
These were books prepared by Tsunade, specially prepared for beginners, just right for a beginner like Jingyi.
Jingyi walked to a corner position, put down his carried bag, opened the book in his hand, and began reading earnestly.
The opening chapter was about the introduction of medical ninjas, and flipping forward a few pages yielded various training methods regarding the meticulous control of chakra, as well as standard grade divisions.
Water-walking and tree-climbing could only be considered entry-level.
"Oh."
Looking at the detailed records in the book, Jingyi discovered that he seemed to have already reached the learning standards of a medical ninja.
It seemed that ever since the first fetal movement of the Tenseigan ended, his mastery over chakra had vastly improved, and as time passed, this aspect of his ability was continually strengthening.
After all, the Tenseigan was a powerful pupil technique comparable to the Rinnegan, capable of bringing all-around enhancements to Jingyi.
Suppressing the thought of waking Tsunade up, Jingyi continued reading downward.
Unbeknownst to him, an entire morning passed just like that. Jingyi read books for the whole morning, and Tsunade slept for the whole morning too. Fortunately, there were no patients with serious conditions at the hospital in the morning, so Tsunade didn't need to step forward personally.
Tsunade therefore got a wonderful sleep, although her sleeping posture wasn't very elegant.
After all, sleeping facedown on a desk not only easily pressed one side of her face red, but she would also drool unconsciously.
Glancing at the water marks on the desk, Jingyi twitched the corners of his mouth slightly.
Lady Tsunade, what happened to your poise and image?
He didn't have a camera in his hand, otherwise he could have snapped a couple of photos of Tsunade to keep as black history.
