The light in the testing room was dimmed, with only a spotlight shining on Kakashi's left eye.

Rinto's fingertips were condensed with extremely fine Chakra Threads, scanning the meridians around his eyes little by little, and the pen in his hand was writing quickly on the notebook. Even Kakashi frowned due to the stimulation of Chakra, without raising his eyes. He just casually said, "Don't move, Chakra is flowing crookedly."

Kakashi could only freeze and couldn't help complaining - after all, he is also an elite Jonin, and Chakra's control accuracy ranks high in Konoha. How come it is in the hands of this gentleman, like a new Ninja Academy who can't hold Chakra.

It took half an hour before Rinto put down the pen and withdrew Chakra: "Okay, the recovery is better than expected. The meridian nodes have been adjusted. From now on, using Kamui and Chakra will reduce the consumption and optic nerve wear by more than half. Don't overdraw or you won't go blind."

Kakashi blinked and tried to move Sharingan. Sure enough, the pinprick-like tingling sensation before was gone. Chakra's circulation was so smooth that it could not even maintain Sharingan's. The consumption has dropped a lot. He put down Forehead Protector and thanked him with a smile, "It's really a big help, Mr. Rinto. Before, every time I used Kamui, I had a headache for a long time. Now this burden is like scratching an itch."

"Hmm." Rinto lowered his head and flipped through the data he had just recorded. He ran his fingertips across the page and muttered something. "The output path of Yin Release is indeed different from the conventional Ninjutsu. The loss of the space-distorted Chakra is higher than expected..."

He was completely immersed in the data and completely forgot about Kakashi next to him. Kakashi was not embarrassed, pulled up a chair and sat down, looked at the drafts and samples on the table, and casually chatted. "By the way, Naruto and the others went back to Konoha this afternoon. Deidara ran away, but Sakura has kept Scorpion's puppet core and the unexploded clay sample for you, and specifically asked me to tell you."

This sentence finally made Rinto raise his head and his eyes lit up. "The sample is not inactivated?"

"Don't worry, Sakura is sealed tightly according to the anchoring configuration you gave, and it's not loose at all." Kakashi nodded and added, "Thanks to the dismantling talisman you gave me this time, otherwise they would have suffered a big loss from Deidara's large-scale explosion."

Rinto said "Oh" and lowered his head to flip through the data. Apparently he was not interested in "rescuing people" and only cared about whether the sample could be brought back intact.

Kakashi looked at him like this, smiled helplessly, and put the three-color meatballs he brought on the table. "By the way, I heard Shizune say before that you often forget to eat, so I put this here for you, so you can take a few bites when you are hungry. Also, Lady Tsunade Let me tell you, Kazekage of Sunagakure, which is Gaara, after resurrection I want to come to Konoha to thank you in person and ask you when you are free."

"No time." Rinto refused directly without raising his head, "Ask him not to come. Just send him some information if he has something to do. It's too noisy for people to come."

I knew it would be this answer. Kakashi had already expected it, and was not surprised. He sat there for a while and saw that Rinto was completely immersed in the data. He didn't even bother to say a word, so he got up and left quietly. When he left, he didn't forget to help him hold the ajar door.

The room became quiet again. Rinto sorted out Kakashi's test data and put it together with the previous Sharingan research records, then stood up and stretched. The sunlight outside the window was just right, falling through the window lattice into the vegetable bed in the backyard, and the wheat germ that had just sprouted was bright green.

He walked to the backyard, squatted down and looked at the growth of the wheat seeds. He touched the leaves with his fingertips and fine-tuned the solidified configuration inside. Several batches of improved seeds planted a few days ago all germinated smoothly, and their drought tolerance and growth rate were much better than ordinary wheat seeds. Once these batches of trial seeds are planted, they can be The seeds are sent to Land of Wind to solve the food problem of Sunagakure - of course, his core purpose is to obtain crop growth data in different environments and improve the application logic of Yang Release on plant cells.

Just as he was thinking about it, there were light footsteps outside the courtyard door, followed by the voice of Sakura, shouting through the door, "Mr. Rinto? I'm in?"

"Come in." Rinto responded without getting up.

Sakura pushed the door open and came in, carrying a large cloth bag in his hand and walking quickly to the backyard with a smile on his face, "Sir, I brought you a new sterile patch carrier from the hospital, as well as the case data of different degrees of trauma that you requested before."

"Put it on the table in the front room." Rinto stood up and patted the dirt on his hands, "The patch made from the Nara Clan's animal skin has been left for three days, and the configuration and activity are still there. It can be tested in vivo today."

"Really? That's great!" Sakura's eyes lit up instantly. He quickly put down the cloth bag and followed Rinto into the front room, "I said you can definitely do it! The teachers at the hospital asked before, saying that if this patch can be made, it will be very convenient for missions and free clinics in the countryside."

As she spoke, she skillfully helped Rinto set up the experimental equipment, placing the sterile animal skins, carving knives, and reagents one by one, with very deft movements. In the past half month, she Tenten ran to the laboratory after school to help with the work and record data. She had already figured out Rinto's habits, and she could do the preparations properly without him having to say anything.

Rinto picked up the carving knife and concentrated on carving micro-structures on the cut animal skin. His fingertips were steady and he even breathed very lightly. Sakura sat next to him and handed him things quietly, not daring to disturb him. He only handed the things to him in advance when he changed tools.

The two of them worked quietly all morning. When the sun outside the window climbed to the top of their head, Rinto put down the carving knife, looked at the rows of finished patches on the table, and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Okay, let's divide them into three groups and conduct tests on hemostasis, analgesia, and cell repair respectively. Record the effects of different input amounts of Chakra, as well as the retention time of the configuration." He divided the patches and handed them to Sakura.

"Okay! I'll come right away!" Sakura nodded, picked up the record book, and started testing seriously, remembering every data carefully, not even the slightest change was missed.

By the time the test was finished, it was already afternoon. Sakura looked at the data in the record book, and his face turned red with excitement. "Sir! The effect is great! Even better than we expected! Even if you have never studied Medical Ninjutsu people only need to inject a little bit of Chakra to stop bleeding in ten seconds, and superficial wounds can heal in three days! Moreover, the pre-stored Chakra has been left at room temperature for three days without loosening at all!"

Rinto took the record book, flipped through it, and his brows finally relaxed. The portable medical patch, which I had been working on for almost a week, was finally ready.

"Well, the basic model has been finalized." He put the booklet on the table and clicked on the page with his fingertips. "Then we will make a few advanced models, emergency ones for burns, fracture fixation, internal organ shock, and long-lasting models for civilians that don't require Chakra and can be effective by pre-stored energy."

"Let me help you!" Sakura immediately raised his hand, his eyes bright, "I have no classes in the afternoon, and the hospital has asked for leave, so I can help you sort out the parameters of different traumas today!"

Rinto did not refuse and nodded. Chakra of Sakura has very high control accuracy and can learn things quickly. Helping him with these basic tests and data sorting can indeed save a lot of trouble.

As the two people were talking, the whirring sound of Naruto suddenly came from outside the courtyard door. Before anyone could enter the door, the shout floated in, "Mr. Rinto! Mr. Rinto! We are back! We brought you the sample you want!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the courtyard door was pushed open, and Naruto rushed in with a big backpack on his back, followed by Sakura carrying a box, and Kakashi. Naruto who looked helpless. He rushed to the table, put his backpack on the table, and poured out a bunch of sealed containers. "Sir, look! This is Deidara's unexploded clay. I secretly picked up a lot of it! There are also Scorpion's puppet core, stinger, and his unused sealing scroll, all brought to you!"

He came over, looking like he was begging for praise, like a puppy wagging its tail. "I'm telling you, that Deidara's explosion is super powerful, if it weren't for Kakashi-sensei using Kamui twisted his explosion away, and we almost fell! There was also Scorpion, whose body was actually made of a puppet. It was so scary. Sakura and Granny Chiyo fought for a long time before they won!"

Rinto ignored his thoughts, first picked up the sealed tube containing Explosive Clay, looked at the light, then picked up the core of Scorpion's puppet, and put some Chakra on his fingertips. He went in and confirmed that the configurations inside were intact, and he couldn't hide the smile in his eyes. These samples were more complete than he expected. The Chakra configuration and seal logic inside could fill a large gap in his research.

"Well, thank you." Rinto rarely took the initiative to say thank you and carefully put the sample into a special sealed box.

Naruto was stunned for a moment, then smiled even more happily, scratched his head and said, "Hey, you're welcome! The talisman you gave me before, sir, helped me a lot! By the way, sir, I've been practicing Wind Release: Rasenshuriken recently, and I've encountered a bottleneck again. It's the change in the nature of Chakra that can't be stabilized in Rasengan. Can you give me a few more pointers?"

As he spoke, he started gesticulating hurriedly and talked about the problems he encountered in confusion. Just like last time, his face turned red with anxiety.

Rinto just got the new sample. He was in a good mood. He was not as impatient as last time. He picked up a pen and drew the core structure of Rasengan on the waste paper, and circled two nodes. "Your previous idea was still wrong, it was not the watch attribute Chakra is wrapped outside Rasengan, so that every wisp of rotating Chakra has its own cutting property of the wind attribute. Here, and here, are the core anchor points. First fix the changes in properties of these two points, and then expand them outwards, so that they will not scatter."

He said it simply, but he directly hit the core issue. Naruto stared at the circle on the paper, froze for a long time, and suddenly slapped his thigh. "Oh! I understand! It turns out that I have always done it the other way around! No wonder it always explodes! Sir, you are so awesome!"

He was so excited that he almost jumped up, bowed to Rinto repeatedly, turned around and ran out. "I went to the training ground to practice! Thank you, sir! When I finish practicing, I'll treat you to Ichiraku Ramen!"

Before he finished speaking, the person had already disappeared. Kakashi smiled helplessly, shrugged at Rinto, and turned around and walked away - he had to keep an eye on Naruto, and don't let him hurt himself again if he practices too hard.

Only Sakura and Rinto were left in the room. Sakura looked at the direction in which Naruto disappeared and smiled helplessly, "He is like this, so fast and furious, Tenten when Sunagakure was talking about coming back as soon as possible to practice the new Ninjutsu. By the way, sir, this time I went to Sunagakure, Granny Chiyo used Reincarnation Ninjutsu, resurrected Gaara, and sacrificed himself."

Rinto raised his head, with a little more interest in his eyes. "Reincarnation Ninjutsu? What's the principle?"

"It is to use one's own life to bring the soul back from the underworld and resurrect the dead." Sakura explained the details he knew. "Granny Chiyo said that this technique is a forbidden technique. Only their clan can learn it. It is a technique of exchanging lives for lives."

Rinto frowned and tapped his fingertips on the table. At the cost of life energy, forcibly pulling back the soul and repairing the dead body was beyond the scope of regular Yang Release. It involved the binding rules of soul and life, an area he had never touched before.

"Is there any relevant information about this technique?" he asked.

Sakura shook his head. "No, Granny Chiyo left no scroll. Sunagakure said that this technique has been lost long ago and only Granny Chiyo knows it. What's wrong, sir, is there anything wrong with this technique?"

"Nothing." Rinto shook his head and didn't ask any more questions. He remembered it in his mind. The logic of binding the soul and the body was a gap in his current research system. If he could figure out the principle of this technique, his Yin-Yang Release system could reach a higher level.

Sakura Seeing that he was lost in thought again, he didn't bother him anymore. He sat down quietly and sorted out the patch test data just now. The only sound left in the room was the rustling of the pen tip across the paper. The sunlight poured in through the window and fell on the two people. It was quiet and peaceful.

In the next few days, Rinto's life was very regular.

During the day, I either stay in the laboratory, dismantling Scorpion's puppet seal, studying the Explosive Clay configuration of Deidara, or working with Sakura to polish medical patches with different functions, and occasionally go to In the experimental fields around Konoha, we looked at the experimental planting of improved wheat seeds. At night, I looked at the Mangekyō data given by Kakashi and pondered the combination of Yin Release and space rules. Occasionally I stayed up all night, and no one came to disturb me.

During this period, Tsunade came here once and saw the finalized medical patch. She was so excited that she decided on the spot that Konoha Hospital should be mass-produced first and distributed to the ninja troops of Konoha, and then sent to various ninja villages and border outposts. She wanted to apply for Rinto to be the highest honor of Konoha, and also wanted to allocate a large amount of funds to him, but Rinto refused.

"There is no need to do these useless things." Rinto said without raising his head while improving the structure of the step patch, "The funds can be directly exchanged for the consumables, crystal jade, and access to the classics library that I want. There is no need for anything else. Also, don't let the media or people from other Ninja Villages come to visit me, it's annoying."

Tsunade had long been accustomed to his temperament, and she promised with a smile that as long as he could stay at Konoha in peace and conduct research, let alone this request, she would be willing to empty out the library of classics.

This afternoon, Rinto had just finished changing the configuration of the patch for burns, and was about to take a breather when a deafening shout came from outside the hospital door. You could feel the passion through the door. "Mr. Rinto!! I am Might Guy!! I have something to ask you for help!!"

Rinto's brows frowned instantly, and the irritability that had just rested came back. He stood up and opened the door, and saw Might Guy standing at the door, wearing a green tight-fitting training suit, giving a thumbs up, his teeth so bright that they were reflective, followed by Asuma and Hong who looked hopeless.

"Is something wrong?" Rinto leaned against the door frame, with an impatient tone in his tone.

Kai was not affected by his cold face at all. He took a step forward and said in an excited tone, "Mr. Rinto! I know that you are the most powerful medical and Chakra master of Konoha! I would like to ask you to help me see if there is any way to alleviate the damage to the body after Eight Gates Released Formation is turned on!"

As he spoke, he patted his chest and said passionately, "Youth is about constantly breaking through the limits! But every First Gate of Eight Gates Released Formation will cause irreversible damage to the body. I am not afraid of injury, but I am afraid that due to physical wear and tear, I will not be able to accompany my opponent Kakashi to the end of youth!"

Asuma next to him couldn't help but add, "Kai has been saying Tenten these days that Kakashi's eyes were cured by you, and he also wanted to ask if this old problem of his could be solved. We tried to persuade him for a long time, but he insisted on doing it himself."

Hong also smiled and added, "Guy-sensei's legs, waist, and meridians have many old injuries because he has been prescribed Eight Gates all the year round. Lady Tsunade can only help relieve his pain, but cannot cure the damage."

Rinto was silent for a few seconds.

Eight Gates Released Formation, which he had only heard of before, was Taijutsu, which could forcibly release body restrictions and explode with extremely powerful force. The cost was great physical damage, and even Gate of Death would cause death. In this extreme state, the explosion of body energy, cell damage and repair, were extremely rare sample data for him to study the limits of Yang Release's body.

He stepped aside and got out of the way. "Come in. First, please explain clearly the record of physical injuries and the details of the damage to the meridians after each injection of Eight Gates. The more detailed the better."

Kai's eyes lit up instantly and he almost jumped up with excitement. He bowed deeply to Rinto: "Thank you so much! Mr. Rinto! You are the beacon on the road of youth!"

He followed Rinto into the house excitedly. As soon as he sat down, he started talking nonstop about everything from the physical reaction of driving First Gate to the injuries after driving Seventh Gate. He even remembered clearly which time he opened the door and how many days he had backache after opening the door. He would stand up and make gestures twice as he said it. He was so enthusiastic.

Rinto listened patiently, interrupting him from time to time, asking for details, and kept writing down the key information. Asuma and Hong sat next to each other, getting more and more excited as Kaiyue spoke, but Rinto always had a calm face, occasionally frowning, and couldn't help but look at each other and smile.

After Kai finished speaking, Rinto performed a full-body Chakra test on him, and found out the old injuries in his meridians, as well as the cell damage left by years of extreme explosions, and he had a rough idea.

"There is no cure." Rinto put down his pen and told the truth, "The essence of Eight Gates Released Formation is to forcibly break through the limitations of the body and overdraw life energy in exchange for strength. As long as you continue to use this technique, there will definitely be damage. What I can do is give you two sets of plans., one set is the Yang Release configuration for daily repair, which can help you slowly repair old injuries and strengthen the tolerance of meridians and muscles; the other set is the protective configuration used when opening Eight Gates, which can reduce cell tear damage and reduce sequelae during an outbreak."

Even if it was just like this, Kai was already so excited that he grabbed Rinto's hand, his eyes were red. "Thank you so much! Mr. Rinto! This is enough! What do you need me to do? Whether it's cooperating with the test or doing anything else, I'm willing!"

"You don't need to do anything." Rinto withdrew his hand, a little uncomfortable with such enthusiastic contact, "I'll draw the configuration, you practice accordingly, and come to me three days later, and I will adjust the details for you. Also, every time you open Eight Gates, come to me for a test and record the damage data."

"No problem! Absolutely no problem!" Kai gave a standard military salute with a loud voice that shook his ears, "I will come on time! I will not delay your research!"

He was so excited that he held Rinto and said words of thanks for a long time. They were all about youth and passionate slogans. Rinto was so confused that he couldn't help but interrupt him, "I can draw the plan tomorrow. You can come back tomorrow to get it. Don't argue now, I still have things to do."

Kai immediately shut up, bowed to him again, and then followed Asuma and Hong Qingqing Earth Flow. After going out, Kai still excitedly said to Asuma, "Look! I said Mr. Rinto will definitely help! This is the power of youth!"

Asuma smiled helplessly, "Please keep your voice down, don't annoy sir anymore."

Rinto in the room rubbed his ears that were aching from the shock, turned around, picked up a pen, and began to think about the repair configuration for Kai. Eight Gates Released Formation's body limit data was indeed a rare research material for him, which could just fill in the blanks of Yang Release's body limit damage repair.

I had just finished a few strokes when someone knocked on the door again. This time the voice was very familiar, it was Jiraiya.

"Rinto boy? Are you here? I brought good things." Jiraiya's voice was smiling, and he opened the door and came in, carrying a wine gourd in his hand and a thick scroll under his arm.

"What's the matter?" Rinto put down the pen and looked at him.

"Good thing." Jiraiya pulled up a chair and sat down, put the wine gourd on the table, and handed him the scroll in his arms, "Mount Myōboku Sage Fukasaku entrusted me to give you the complete handbook on the balance of Senjutsu and Natural Energy, as well as their cultivation experience of the immortals of the past generations. It is much better than the fragmentary notes I gave you before."

Rinto's eyes lit up, and he immediately took the scroll and opened it. As expected, it contained the complete record of Senjutsu inherited by Mount Myōboku. It not only contained the cultivation methods, but also the essence and person of Natural Energy. The fusion logic of body Chakra, and even sporadic records about the combination of Senjutsu Chakra and Yin-Yang Release, can just solve the few remaining minor problems in his previous fusion of Senjutsu.

"Thank you." Rinto raised his head and glanced at him, rarely taking the initiative to say thank you.

"You're welcome." Jiraiya waved his hand, uncorked the wine gourd, and took a sip, "I didn't give it to you for free. There are two things I want to discuss with you."

Rinto carefully put the scroll aside and waited for him to continue.

"The first thing is Naruto's business." Jiraiya put away his smile and sounded more serious, "Akatsuki's goal is all Tailed Beast, Naruto is Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, and sooner or later he will be their number one target. I plan to take him out to practice, on the one hand avoiding Akatsuki, and on the other hand teaching him Senjutsu, improve strength. He has enough Chakra, but cannot control it well. Nine-Tails's Chakra always interferes with him. The stable sigil effect you made for him before Very good, can you help him make a more stable sealing auxiliary configuration that can be used for a long time, help him stabilize Nine-Tails's Chakra, and also allow him to practice Senjutsu more safely."

Rinto thought for a while and nodded. The Nine-Tails Chakra on Naruto is also a good research sample for him. He has only taken some sporadic samples before. If he can make a long-term stable configuration, he can get more complete Tailed Beast Chakra data.

"Okay." He agreed simply, "Give me a copy of his Nine-Tails seal structure diagram, and I will give you the configuration plan in three days."

Jiraiya breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "Thank you very much. With your plan, I can take him out to practice and feel more at ease."

He paused and added the second thing, with a bit of embarrassment in his tone. "The second thing... Well, I'm writing a new novel recently. There is a character in it who is a scholar who understands Medical Ninjutsu. I want to write some details about Chakra's medical treatment, but I am afraid that it will be too outrageous and make people laugh. I want to ask you for advice on which settings are reasonable and which are made up."

Rinto was stunned for a moment, obviously not expecting him to say this. He was not interested in the novel written by Jiraiya, and he didn't know much about novel writing, but someone had just given him the Senjutsu notebook that he urgently needed, so it was hard to refuse it directly.

He frowned and said perfunctorily, "Write down what you want to write, and I will help you see if it violates the basic logic of Chakra. I don't care about anything else."

"That's enough!" Jiraiya immediately laughed, "Just help me see if it's reasonable! You don't have to worry about anything else! When the new book is published, I will give you a signed copy!"

Rinto didn't answer the call and was not interested in the signed version at all. He turned around and picked up the Senjutsu notebook and wanted to flip through it. Jiraiya saw that he was eager to study, and he was also interested. Without disturbing you any further, he took another sip of wine, got up and left. "Then I won't disturb you anymore. I'll have someone deliver the structural diagram of the Naruto seal to you tonight. When you finish the plan, I'll treat you to the best barbecue restaurant!"

"No need." Rinto didn't even raise his head, his attention was completely focused on the notebook.

Jiraiya smiled and shook his head, then walked quietly to the door and left.

The yard became quiet again. Rinto was sitting at the table, flipping through Mount Myōboku's Senjutsu notes. The more he read, the brighter his eyes became. He had fumbled for it by himself before. The fusion logic of Senjutsu, as well as several stuck details, can be found in the handbook with corresponding explanations. There is even the linkage logic between Natural Energy and the environment that he has not considered.

It was getting dark outside the window. He casually lit the oil lamp and forgot to eat dinner. He turned over the pages of his notebooks under the dim light. From time to time, he picked up a pen and wrote a few strokes in his draft book, completely immersed in the world of Senjutsu.

The draft of the medical patch on the table, Scorpion's puppet sample, Kai's injury record, and the Senjutsu notebook he just got were spread out all over the table. Konoha's evening breeze blew in through the cracks in the window, bringing with it the smoke of fireworks on the street, but he didn't notice it at all. He only saw the words and formulas on the paper. His life was dull, but it was all the stability he wanted.
