And then there were those last words...
Sarutobi Karen Kaede guessed at some of the implications: there would probably only be a chance for reconciliation after Might Duy apologized to Maemoto Takashi; otherwise, there would be a long road ahead, since Maemoto Takashi, and they would be in the same grade.
Logically, she should have stopped Araki to form the Seal of Reconciliation.
However, Maemoto Takashi had already been taken away by Fujiwara-sensei, who looked very worried, so there was no chance for reconciliation.
That's enough.
That's it!
It was just an extra matchup.
"Next game!"
Sarutobi Karen Kaede began drawing lots for the subsequent simulated duels. To be honest, this was just a minor incident and didn't have a significant impact.
Shimura Eimi also headed back towards the sixth grade, where her assessments needed to continue, especially since Fujiwara-sensei was on her way to take Maemoto Takashi to the Medical Team, leaving her as the only one who could oversee things there.
Several sixth-grade students who had been watching also went back with Eimi-sensei. Before leaving, they couldn't help but glance at Araki a couple more times.
At that very moment.
Kushina walked up to Araki with a big smile. She was in a great mood; the diamonds were shining brightly today, giving her a feeling of seeing the sun after the clouds had parted, and she was too lazy to pretend anymore.
" Araki, thank you! I can go to sixth grade with you now!"
Kushina's smile was radiant. With twenty minutes left, she was definitely fine. She was quite restrained now, but if they were alone, she probably would have given Araki another whack.
Chapter 12 You will definitely become medical-nin who surpasses me! (Third update)
Araki didn't pay much attention to the following assessments, and the students didn't discuss him much either, still focusing their attention on Sarutobi Karen Kaede.
Without realizing it.
Half a day has passed.
Araki left the playground immediately after class, without lingering there for long.
One reason is that he doesn't want to interact with students.
Even a fool would know that after what just happened, someone would definitely ask him questions, but he just didn't like those kinds of situations.
Araki didn't go to Tsunade's house immediately, but returned to his own residence first. Kushina wouldn't be back during the noon period, as she was going to have lunch with Mikoto.
Araki picked up the blank talisman, placed it on the table, then picked up a brush, dipped it in ink, poured Chakra into it, and began to draw on the blank talisman.
This time.
There was no hand tremor.
Control the Chakra evenly.
Memory is strong.
The entire process was completed in one go, leaving a strange formula containing Chakra fluctuations on the blank talisman paper. After the formula was sealed on the talisman paper, it emitted a gentle fluctuation.
Then a word "Explosion" appeared in the center of the talisman paper.
"Success!"
Araki grinned, his face full of joy. He had already put the previous events out of his mind and didn't care at all. He devoted himself wholeheartedly to making the talisman paper.
As long as one of the two blank spells succeeds, even if there's no loss, it's all experience gained.
Araki set the completed Explosive Tag aside, then took out a blank tag and made it again in the same way.
"Success again!"
Araki's eyes widened, filled with joy. During the creation process, he had already felt the sense of complete control and freedom.
Each stroke of the brush allows for precise control over the amount of Chakra.
Furthermore, he discovered that creating Explosive Tag had a unique advantage that learning Medical Ninjutsu did not provide.
Calm your mind.
It's like painting.
Immersing myself completely in it, I forgot everything else, allowing my mind to be tempered.
That's fine.
Araki put down the two Explosive Tag. His revised plan was to use the abundant Chakra within his body to create two Explosive Tag during the midday hours, then jog to Tsunade's house to recover his condition.
As long as this arrangement is maintained, time will be squeezed out at noon. The time it would normally take him to get to Tsunade's house is about the same as running there now, but with two more Explosive Tag.
Don't underestimate just two cards; over time, they accumulate and, rounded up, amount to almost a hundred million!
For the next week, Araki did the same thing over and over again: attending classes during the day, making Explosive Tag at noon, going to Tsunade-sensei's class in the afternoon, and interspersing his evening training with making Explosive Tag. He was completely immersed in his own rhythm and paid no attention to the rumors and gossip from the outside world.
This kind of life made Araki feel fulfilled. He could clearly feel his own progress, whether in physical, mental, or Chakra control.
Most importantly...
Araki felt he had mastered the Healing Technique.
This day.
On the eve of final exams.
During Tsunade's class, Araki used Healing Technique to keep a summoned fish alive for a full ten minutes, and the fish showed absolutely no signs of discomfort.
"Very good!"
"Very good!"
" Araki!"
You've given me such a wonderful surprise!
Tsunade's face revealed an uncontainable joy. She had never taught any disciples, but she had seen many young people in the Medical Team. Some of them had great potential, some had a solid foundation, and some were meticulous. They could all be considered outstanding among their peers.
However, she had never seen anyone learn Medical Ninjutsu so quickly as Araki.
You should know...
Medical Ninjutsu and medical knowledge are not the same thing.
Medical knowledge isn't particularly difficult if you're willing to put in the effort to memorize it.
However, Medical Ninjutsu requires a great deal of Chakra control. If one does not possess such talent, no matter how strong one's theoretical knowledge is, one will not be able to become a truly excellent medical-nin.
Theory and ability must be combined!
Hehehehe...
Araki didn't say anything, he just smiled slightly.
He knew very well that his precise control over Chakra was related to his recent work on creating Explosive Tag.
Creating Explosive Tag requires Chakra control!
Medical Ninjutsu also requires the ability to control Chakra!
This resulted in Araki gaining experience in Medical Ninjutsu while creating Explosive Tag, and further solidifying his Chakra control for creating Explosive Tag while learning Medical Ninjutsu.
The two complement each other, achieving twice the result with half the effort, allowing Araki to learn Medical Ninjutsu at a very fast pace.
" Araki, I'm not just praising you, but your talent is unparalleled in my life. Even at your age, I didn't master such powerful Medical Ninjutsu, and when I was learning healing techniques, I didn't progress as quickly as you. I firmly believe that given time, you will definitely become medical-nin who surpasses me!"
Tsunade's voice became excited.
She was happy for herself, happy for Araki, and even happier for Konoha's Medical Ninjutsu endeavors.
"Tomorrow we'll learn the Poison Expulsion Technique. Based on your progress, I hope you can master it within a week as well. That way, we can combine the two techniques to learn the advanced version of the Mystical Palm Technique!" Tsunade said, staring at Araki.
"Yes!"
Araki immediately responded.
"I have high expectations for you, which is why I'm entrusting Might Duy to you. I hope you won't let me down!" Tsunade said solemnly.
"Yes!"
Araki nodded again. At this point, there was no need for further words; simply agreeing was enough.
After leaving Tsunade's house, Araki returned to the forest to train, which was his daily training routine after adjusting his pace recently.
"Um?"
After performing several rounds of training, Araki was about to take out the blank talisman from his backpack to make one when he suddenly sensed the movement of the surrounding air.
"Someone's coming!"
Araki picked up his backpack, leaped up suddenly, and instantly jumped onto a tree branch.
Let's avoid this kind of thing for now.
Continue after everyone leaves.
Let's take a short break now.
However.
Just then...
Three familiar figures appeared in Araki's line of sight, slowly walking into the woods below, each of them talking about something.
The topic of discussion immediately caught Araki's attention.
Chapter 13 This is where Araki trains (Fourth update)
Araki stood on a tree branch, looking down at the three people below. His eyes sharpened, but he narrowed them slightly, trying his best to conceal his sharp edge and avoid being noticed.
These three people were the Uchiha Clan trio he had met before, the ones they called the Junior Detective League!
Uchiha Fugaku.
Uchiha Mikoto.
And another boy whose name Araki couldn't recall.
All three of them wore the Uchiha Clan crest.
