The gate of Konoha is much busier than Rinto remembers it. The traces of Chunin Ninja Exams have long been cleaned up. The vendors on the roadside are shouting, the children are chasing and playing with candied haws, the passing ninjas are smiling and saying hello, and the smoke of fireworks is blowing in the face with the sunshine.
Anbu Captain, who was leading the way, walked cautiously, looking back from time to time to see if Rinto was following. The villagers and ninjas passing by looked curiously into the carriage and whispered - after all, it was rare for Konoha to let Anbu Captain personally lead the way, and Lady Tsunade specifically asked for preferential treatment throughout the entire process.
"Mr. Rinto, the Hokage office building is ahead. Lady Tsunade is waiting for you in the office." The captain stopped the carriage and bowed.
Rinto put away the notebook in his hand, clamped the draft paper carefully, then opened the curtain and jumped out, glanced at the familiar Hokage building, and nodded. "Let's go."
The door of the office was not closed. As soon as he walked to the door, he heard the sound of Tsunade slamming the table. He was not angry, but shouting with excitement, "You said this repair configuration can really reactivate necrotic liver cells? Can patients with cirrhosis of the liver be saved as well?"
"Lady Tsunade, don't worry, this is just a theoretical deduction, you have to see the actual operation..." Shizune's voice was helpless. Before he finished speaking, he saw Rinto at the door, and his eyes lit up instantly, "Lady Tsunade! Mr. Rinto is here!"
Tsunade turned back sharply, his frowned brows instantly relaxed, and he came forward in a few steps. He completely lost the dignity of Fifth Hokage, and looked more like a student waiting to ask questions, "You are here! Sit down quickly! Shizune, pour the tea! Bring the best tea leaves!"
Rinto was a little uncomfortable with her enthusiasm. He took a half step back and said straight to the point, "No need to bother. If you asked Jiraiya to take care of it before, I received it. Have you made arrangements for the permissions of the laboratory, the classics library, and the wanted order?"
"It's all arranged! It's all arranged!" Tsunade assured, pulling him to sit on the sofa, speaking very fast, "The wanted order was withdrawn early this morning, Konoha all the classics, archives, and hospital case databases are open to you, Just adjust whatever you want to see, without any approval. The laboratory is right next to Konoha Hospital. It has a separate courtyard and sound insulation, shockproof, and anti-interference barriers are all set up for you. You make a list of supplies and equipment, and I will have someone prepare it for you within a day. There is no upper limit on funding!"
She finished speaking in one breath, paused, and couldn't help but move forward. Her tone was a little cautious and expectant. "Well... I read your book "Yang Release Repair Guide". There are a few places in it that I haven't figured out. They are about the repair of old meridian damage. You wrote 'Yang Release guided by the meridian node'. How to determine this node? Everyone's meridians are different. Is there a universal judgment standard?"
Just as Rinto was about to speak, Shizune next to him came in with tea. Seeing that his own Lord Hokage had completely forgotten about business and his mind was filled with medical problems, he couldn't help but raise his head in his mind: Lady Tsunade, what did you say before that you should discuss treatment and rules with others first? Your dignity is gone.
"For the judgment of nodes, there is a general calculation formula in the third section of the appendix of the book." Rinto took the tea cup and put it on the table without drinking. "You can calculate the optimal node position by following the formula and combining the ninja's Chakra weight, physique, and years of training. There is no need to memorize fixed acupuncture points."
Tsunade was stunned for a moment, then slapped her forehead. "Hey! I was just reading the main text and didn't pay attention to the appendices!" She turned around and glared at Shizune, "Why didn't you remind me?"
Shizune looked innocent. "Lady Tsunade, you read the book all night yesterday, and you didn't hear me calling you to eat..."
Rinto was not interested in watching the interaction between their master and apprentice, and brought the topic back. "The place where I live is just next to the laboratory. There is no need to arrange it separately. Also, I don't like to be disturbed by others. Unless I make an appointment in advance, don't let anyone knock on the door of the laboratory."
"No problem! No problem at all!" Tsunade agreed, "I have already given the order. If anyone dares to disturb your research, I will deduct three months of their salary! By the way, what else do you want? Just ask, as long as Konoha can do it, I will satisfy you!"
"Nothing else." Rinto stood up and said, "Take me to the laboratory first. Can the permissions for the classic library be opened now? I want to transfer some information first."
"Yes, yes, yes! I will ask someone to issue you the highest authority token now!" Tsunade quickly called the administrative ninja and quickly issued a Konoha highest level pass token. Not only can you enter all the classics libraries, but also the restricted areas of Konoha, Anbu's data room (except for Danzo's root) can be accessed, and Shizune was asked to personally take Rinto to the laboratory. He warned Rinto to take good care of his needs.
After leaving the Hokage building, Shizune held a pile of keys and tokens and walked beside him. He couldn't help but smile and said, "Mr. Rinto, you didn't see it. Lady Tsunade received your manuscript yesterday. I was so excited that I didn't sleep all night. Even Hokage's documents were piled up and not approved. I was reading over and over again while holding the book."
Rinto said "hmm" and glanced across the streets of Konoha without any unnecessary reaction. He was not interested in Konoha's changes or the looks of others. He only thought about what to do first. The manuscript of Second Hokage has been retrieved, as well as the Sealing Jutsu classics of Land of Whirlpools. Some of the logic that was not completed in Takigakure before may be able to find clues in it.
The laboratory was even better than he expected.
It is a separate small courtyard, close to the hospital, but away from the noise of the main road. The main house is a large experimental area, separated from the reference room, sterile operating room, and even a special specimen storage room. The barrier is specially laid by Anbu, which is soundproof, anti-sense, explosion-proof, and can even prevent earthquakes. The wing next to it is the residence, with bedrooms, kitchens, and bathrooms all available, and is kept clean.
"Lady Tsunade said, if you think something is inappropriate or if you are missing something, feel free to tell me, or contact the hospital's logistics department." Shizune handed him the key and put a food box on the table, "This is the meal I just brought from the cafeteria. You have been busy all the way, so you should eat something first."
"Thank you." Rinto took the key, glanced at the laboratory, and finally had a smile in his eyes. This was much better than his previous environment in the rainforest and abandoned inn. Shinobi World could not find a more suitable research environment than this.
Shizune didn't bother much, just gave a few instructions and left. Rinto put his backpack on the table without touching the food box at all. He first readjusted the boundary of the laboratory and added a few layers of anti-interference seals according to his own habits. Then he turned around and went out, heading straight for Konoha's classics library.
The administrator of the classic library is a gray-haired old ninja. He has been guarding the warehouse for decades and has never seen such an exaggerated scene. Rinto took the highest authority token and came in and made a long list of books, starting from Second Hokage's research manuscript, Senju Clan's Yang Release records, Land of Whirlpools's Sealing Jutsu fragments, Ninja Academy's decades of ninja training data statistics, and even a summary of difficult cases since the establishment of Konoha Hospital, all are required.
The old administrator looked at the long list, his glasses slipped to the tip of his nose, and he was stunned for a long time. "Sir, are you... are you sure you want so much? This is half a warehouse of information, can you finish moving it?"
"Well, please help me find a cart and I'll take it back to the laboratory." Rinto said in a calm tone, not realizing at all how outrageous his request was.
The old administrator has worked all his life and has never seen anyone treat the classics library as his or her own study room, pulling out materials in batches. However, the token in his hand has the highest authority. Lady Tsunade specifically said hello, "I will cooperate fully with whatever Mr. Rinto wants." He could only call two apprentices to help find books and load the car.
In less than an hour, Rinto returned to the laboratory with a cart full of classics. He piled the materials into categories in the reference room. He even forgot to eat and plunged into the manuscript. From the afternoon until midnight, the oil lamp was on all night long.
Early the next morning, Shizune came over with breakfast and knocked on the door for a long time, but there was no movement at all. She thought Rinto had gone out, but opened the courtyard door with the key, only to see that the lights in the main room were still on. Rinto was sitting in front of the case, with a pile of manuscripts spread out in front of her, and the food box next to her was still intact on the table. The meal had already gone bad.
"Mr. Rinto, you didn't eat yesterday?" Shizune was startled and quickly put away the rotten meal and put the fresh breakfast next to him, "No matter how busy you are, you still have to eat something. What should you do if your body is exhausted?"
Rinto didn't even raise his head, and casually said "Hmm". The pen in his hand kept writing, and he didn't know what configuration he was drawing. Shizune shook his head helplessly, pushed the hot porridge to his hand, and stepped out lightly, collecting the empty water bottles and waste paper he piled at the door.
This matter spread quickly on Konoha Hospital.
The new Mr. Rinto is a real research lunatic. When he entered the laboratory, it was like he was in a trance. He didn't eat, drink or sleep. Lady Tsunade didn't dare to disturb him casually. Not to mention, the book he wrote " Yang Release Repair Guide" has become the bible of all the medical ninjas in the hospital. Even the old injuries that could not be cured before have improved according to the methods in the book. Everyone is very curious about this mysterious gentleman, but no one dares to knock on the door to disturb him.
The first one who dared to come to the door was Sakura Haruno.
The little girl held a thick stack of notebooks and walked around the door of the laboratory for almost an hour. Her palms were all sweaty. She raised her hand several times to knock on the door, but then pulled back. She muttered, "What if the gentleman is busy? Will it disturb him? What if my question is too stupid and he finds me annoying?"
She has been following Tsunade to learn Medical Ninjutsu for almost half a year. She is talented and willing to work hard, but recently she has been stuck on the bottleneck of cell repair. Tsunade told her Several times, she didn't fully understand it. Yesterday, she read the book written by Rinto, and the more she read, the more enlightened she became. However, there were still a few key points that she couldn't figure out, so she mustered up the courage to come over. But when she got to the door, she got cold feet again.
Just when she raised her hand and put it down again for the eighteenth time, the courtyard door suddenly opened.
Rinto As soon as he came out to throw away the waste paper, he saw a little girl with pink hair standing at the door, holding a stack of notebooks. Her face turned red and she froze in place, with her hands still raised in the air.
"Is something wrong?" Rinto frowned and asked.
Sakura was startled and almost dropped the notebook in his hand to the ground. He hugged it hurriedly and bowed deeply to Rinto. He was so nervous that he stuttered, "Lin, Mr. Rinto you OK! My name is Sakura Haruno, and I am a disciple of Lady Tsunade! I, I read the book you wrote, and I have a few questions to ask you. Will it disturb you? If you are busy, I, I can come back another day!"
She finished speaking in one breath and lowered her head, fearing that Rinto would directly refuse.
Rinto looked at the notebook in her arms. It was densely written, with many notes and questions. She was not here to join in the fun. He stepped aside and said, "Come in, hurry up, I have something else to do."
"Hey! Okay! Thank you!" Sakura's eyes lit up instantly, and he quickly followed him into the room, carefully placing the notebook on the table for fear of disturbing the manuscript he had spread out.
Her questions were very detailed and solid. They were not general questions. They were problems she encountered after she had really practiced according to the book and practiced them. Although Rinto was impatient, she was not averse to such practical questions. She picked up a pen and drew two nodes in her notebook. In a few words, she explained the problem she had been stuck on for several days.
The more Sakura listened, the brighter his eyes became. The fog that had been stuck in his mind suddenly dissipated. I couldn't help but sigh, "So that's it! I made such a big detour before! Thank you! Mr. Rinto, you are amazing!"
Rinto waved his hand and did not answer. He lowered his head and continued to read his manuscript. The meaning was obvious: you can leave after you finish asking.
Sakura is also very discerning. He quickly put away his notebook and bowed again. "Thank you so much! I won't disturb you anymore! If I have any questions in the future, can I come back and ask you for advice?"
"Write the questions in advance and put them in the mailbox at the door. I will read them when I have time." Rinto gave a compromise plan. He didn't want Tenten to be interrupted by someone knocking on the door.
"Okay! Okay! Thank you!" Sakura was overjoyed, agreed quickly, and walked out quietly. When she closed the door, she couldn't help but cover her face in excitement for a long time - she actually asked Mr. Rinto for advice! And the bottleneck was solved!
After this incident spread, the medical ninjas in the hospital also learned to be smart. They didn't dare to knock on the door casually, so they wrote their questions on paper and stuffed them into the mailbox at the door. Rinto After finishing his work every night, he would read through it. If he encountered a valuable question, he would write an answer and stuff it back. If he encountered a question written in a book that didn't use his brain, he would just ignore it.
But there are still some who are not discerning and have to force their way through.
That afternoon, the door of the laboratory was suddenly hit by a "bang", followed by Naruto's whirring voice. "Mr. Rinto! Mr. Rinto, are you there? I have something to ask you! Please help me!"
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a "bang" sound, and Naruto screamed, and was thrown out by the defensive seal at the door, falling on the grass outside the yard. The Ichiraku Ramen he was holding in his hand almost dropped.
Rinto frowned and opened the door, and saw Naruto getting up from the ground while rubbing his butt, looking at him with an aggrieved face. "Sir! You are too good at this!"
"What's the matter?" Rinto leaned against the door frame and had no intention of letting him in. He had no ill feelings or good impressions of Naruto. He only knew that he was the apprentice of Nine-Tails Jinchuriki and Jiraiya, and they had met in the rain forest before.
"It's something! Something big!" Naruto ran over quickly and handed him the ramen with a sincere look on his face, "Sir, I know you are super powerful! Can you help me save Sasuke? He was Orochimaru's Cursed Seal is entangled, and I'm afraid something will happen to him! Also, the Nine-Tails in my body sometimes gets out of control, can you help me think of a solution?"
After he finished speaking, he looked at Rinto nervously, for fear that he would refuse.
Rinto originally wanted to reject it directly. Cursed Seal and Nine-Tails had nothing to do with his research, but when he heard "Cursed Seal" "Nine-Tails Chakra", he paused.
Cursed Seal of Orochimaru is essentially the alienated application of Senjutsu energy. He has only obtained some scattered information before and has never seen an actual sample; Tailed Beast Chakra of Nine-Tails is an excellent sample for studying the origin of Chakra.
He was silent for two seconds and then said, "I can make two things for you. One can suppress the backlash of Cursed Seal, and the other can stabilize Nine-Tails's Chakra to prevent it from getting out of control."
Naruto's eyes lit up instantly and he almost jumped with excitement. "Really?! Thank you so much! What do you want, sir? I'll get it for you! As long as I can do it!"
"Two conditions." Rinto held out two fingers, "First, provide me with some samples of your Nine-Tails Chakra on a regular basis, as well as samples of Chakra when Sasuke Cursed Seal attacks. Second, don't knock on my door casually. If you have something to do, write a note and stuff it in the mailbox. If it disturbs my research, I won't give you anything."
"No problem! No problem at all!" Naruto patted his chest and agreed, fearing that Rinto would regret it, "I will send you a sample tomorrow! I won't disturb you! There will be absolutely no noise!"
Rinto nodded, turned around and went back to the house. It took him less than ten minutes to draw two configuration sigils and handed them to Naruto: "This is attached to your body, which can stabilize Nine-Tails Chakra. This one is for Sasuke, which can inhibit the backlash of Cursed Seal. They are all disposable. Come to me after you use them. The prerequisite is to bring a sample."
Naruto took the talisman with both hands, held it in his hands like a treasure, thanked him repeatedly, and put the ramen on the stone table at the door. "Sir! This is Ichiraku's tonkotsu ramen, it's super delicious! I'll give it to you as a thank you gift! I'm leaving first! I won't disturb you anymore!"
After saying that, he ran away in a hurry, making the same noise as when he came.
Rinto looked at the ramen on the table, did not move, and turned around to go back to the laboratory. By the time he finished his work and thought of the bowl of ramen, it had already turned into a ball.
Not two days after this happened, Kakashi also came.
Carrying a bag of three-color meatballs, he stood at the door for a long time without daring to knock on the door directly. He just happened to see Sakura coming to deliver a note with questions, so he followed him in.
"Mr. Rinto, excuse me." Kakashi greeted with a smile and put the meatballs on the table, "I'm Kakashi Hatake. I'm here to ask you a favor."
Rinto raised his eyes and looked at him without saying anything, waiting for him to say more.
"It's about Sharingan." Kakashi touched his left eye and said in a helpless tone, "This eye is not my original one. After years of use, the optic nerve and meridians are damaged. I have seen Lady Tsunade before, but it can only relieve it, but it cannot cure it. I heard that you are very knowledgeable about Chakra circulation and body repair. I want to ask you, is there any way to improve it?"
Rinto frowned. He had never come into contact with Sharingan's problem before, but Yin Release's circulation and optic nerve cell repair happened to be within the scope of his research. He thought for a while and said, "But So, you come over tomorrow morning, and I will do a Chakra test on you to see the damage. The condition is that you copy the thousands of Ninjutsus and compile a copy of their Chakra circulation data for me."
Kakashi was stunned for a moment, then smiled, "No problem, I will sort it out and send it to you tonight." He was already prepared to be rejected, but he didn't expect Rinto to agree so simply. As expected, just like the rumors, he only cares about researching related things.
After Kakashi left, Rinto looked at the three-color meatballs on the table and still didn't move. He was not interested in these snacks and was already thinking about the difference between Sharingan's Yin Release Chakra circulation and the spiritual energy of ordinary ninjas.
The days passed like this, and Lin Yuan spent almost every day in the laboratory, either reading classics, doing deductions, or drawing configurations. Occasionally, he went out to look for information in the hospital's case database, or to look for new manuscripts in the classics database.
The ninjas of Konoha are gradually getting used to this mysterious Mr. Rinto.
As we all know, in the laboratory next to the Hokage building, there lives a super powerful gentleman. He can heal many old injuries that cannot be cured, and can solve stuck points in cultivation. However, he has a weird temper and doesn't like to be disturbed. If you want to ask him for help, you have to bring "research value" with you, otherwise you won't even be able to get in.
As a result, the ninjas of Konoha gradually formed an unwritten rule - when asking Mr. Rinto for advice, you must first think about what useful samples, data, and cases you can provide to your husband, otherwise you will be embarrassed to stuff a note in the mailbox.
Some ninjas even started a private bet, betting on who could get Mr. Rinto to open the door and what kind of questions would get his reply, which became a new fun in the Konoha Ninja circle.
But Rinto knew nothing about it, and even if he knew it, he didn't care. He finally had a stable research environment, and had the most complete information in Shinobi World. He only had his research in his mind every day, and rarely cared about what was happening outside.
Until that day, Tsunade came to his door in person, with a stern look on his face, and knocked on his laboratory door. "Rinto, I have something to tell you. Akatsuki has been making great moves recently, and has started to arrest Tailed Beast. One-Tail of Sunagakure was captured by them."
Rinto raised his head and kept writing the pen in his hand. "Does it have something to do with me?"
Tsunade sighed helplessly, "Akatsuki's goal is all Tailed Beast, Naruto is Nine-Tails Jinchuriki will become their target sooner or later. Moreover, you have fought against them before at Takigakure. They are very afraid of your abilities and are also very interested in them. They may come to trouble you."
Rinto frowned, not because of fear, but because of annoyance.
He finally had a clean research environment, but the most annoying thing was that these people came to disturb him.
"I got it." He lowered his head and continued drawing, and responded casually, "If they don't bother me, I don't care. If they dare to blow up Konoha and disturb my research, I will make it impossible for them to leave."
Tsunade looked at his "the world is huge and the research is the largest" look, and couldn't help but laugh, and his worried heart was relieved. With Rinto in Konoha, even if Akatsuki really came to fight, he would have a huge trump card.
She turned around and left without further interruption, leaving Rinto alone in the laboratory, facing the table full of manuscripts and drawings, continuing to ponder his Chakra origin theory. The sunlight outside the window shone in through the window lattice, and fell on the tip of his pen, quiet and steady.
