Chapters 47-48: Development of the Yin Seal, Might Guy's Hidden Injuries
The three of them went back to Minato's house first. After Minato and Kushina washed up quickly, they went to Uncle Oto's curry shop for lunch.
"Otsutsuki Ichiraku" is still traveling, so it will probably be a while before Hoshino Sensaku can taste the ramen he makes himself again.
When ordering food, Xingyuan Qianshuo suddenly paused—the memories of his shadow clone came through.
Although there were no seriously injured patients at the hospital in the morning, the shadow clones had already consumed a lot of their chakra.
To avoid being passively removed and affecting work, the clone chose to actively dissipate at noon.
At the same time, a short message also came: Please bring Tsunade a lunch, any dishes are fine.
"What's wrong, Qian Shuo? Is there an emergency at the hospital?"
Minato already knew that Chisaku had used a shadow clone to fill in for him that morning, and now, noticing this, he asked about it.
"It's nothing, I just need to get Tsunade a lunch," Hoshino Senju replied.
"Haha, Tsunade-neechan is so lazy," Kushina laughed without any politeness.
Minato considerately said, "If you're busy this afternoon, Kushina and I can practice on our own."
"No need, I'll create another shadow clone to stay at the hospital later. If there's an emergency, I'll rush back immediately."
"I've managed to ask Biwako-sensei for a day off, and I'd like to practice my ninjutsu this afternoon."
Xingyuan Qianshuo was unwilling to miss any opportunity for them to get hurt, and declined Minato's offer without hesitation.
……
After the three finished lunch, Hoshino Chisaku packed a curry chicken rice to take back to the hospital, while Minato and Kushina went home to rest.
He entered Tsunade's office, greeted her, and then placed the lunchbox on the table.
The desk was piled high with medical books, mostly research materials on human meridians and cell structure.
Tsunade was carefully examining her face in a small mirror. She put the mirror down when she saw him come in, a smile she couldn't hide in her eyes.
"Are you still researching the Akimichi clan's secret medicine?" Hoshigen Chisaku asked.
"That's been put on hold for now due to insufficient information."
As she opened the lunchbox, she said, "However, there has been some progress on the idea of developing the Yin Seal that you proposed last time."
Xingyuan Qianshuo's gaze fell on the blue-purple diamond-shaped mark on her forehead—
In the sunlight, the marks shimmered with a faint glow, complementing her fair and supple skin.
"Huh—"
He leaned closer to take a closer look and found that Tsunade's skin was exceptionally radiant today, as if every inch of it was glowing with a healthy sheen.
"Haha, you finally figured it out?" Tsunade raised her chin triumphantly, her fingers lightly stroking her cheek. "How's it? Pretty good, right?"
"This means... the anti-aging technique has been successful?" Xingyuan Qianshuo asked in surprise.
"Hmph, do you still dare to say I'm old now?" She deliberately puffed out her cheeks, her pink lips slightly pursed, and her eyes sparkled with cunning.
"When did I ever say you were old?"
"Even if you didn't say it, you definitely thought about it!" Tsunade scoffed. "Otherwise, why would you have come up with the idea of using chakra to maintain your appearance?"
Xingyuan Qianshuo helplessly spread his hands: "I was just trying to give you advice, how did it become my fault?"
"Hmph~" Tsunade raised an eyebrow, her teasing gaze speaking volumes.
"So, this means it's been successfully developed?" Xingyuan Qianshuo pressed.
He knew that developing an S-rank ninjutsu was no easy task, even with the Yin Seal as a foundation.
"It's still early."
Tsunade shook her head, her expression turning serious. "This is just a preliminary attempt to use the chakra from the Yin Seal to fine-tune the activity of facial skin cells and promote collagen synthesis."
"Just maintaining this state requires an extremely high level of concentration."
She stretched out her finger and gently stroked her delicate cheek.
"The flow of chakra must be extremely precise; too much will damage the cells, and too little will not achieve the desired effect. The whole process is like dancing on a tightrope."
"But since the direction is feasible, I believe we'll be able to master it quickly."
When Tsunade spoke, her eyes shone with a long-lost light, a light that was not only confidence but also the pure passion of a medical ninja as she explored the mysteries of life.
She leaned forward slightly without realizing it, her tone carrying a high spirit she hadn't felt in years:
"Once you fully master it, you can apply this method to all the cells in your body, especially your internal organs, so that your body's 'functions' can always be kept at their peak."
"Most importantly, you have to make it a bodily instinct," Xingyuan Qianshuo continued, "as natural as breathing, so that it operates automatically whether you're eating, sleeping, or fighting."
"That's right," Tsunade nodded in response.
The art of preserving youth does not accelerate aging, but rather slows it down. What truly shortens cell lifespan is the art of creation and regeneration.
"What about the idea of using the Yin Seal to release chakra and achieve rapid regeneration?" Xingyuan Qianshuo continued to ask.
"That one is more difficult."
Tsunade picked up a piece of curry chicken with her chopsticks and put it in her mouth, savoring it slowly.
"I specifically consulted my grandmother, and she suggested that it would be best to develop a supplementary spell seal to complement it. Right now, it's not even in its initial form yet; there's still a long way to go."
"The development of ninjutsu is a gradual process," Hoshino Senjutsu comforted him. "If this technique is completed, it will definitely reach S-rank, and may even allow one to remain immortal in battle."
Tsunade nodded in agreement, a sharp smile playing on her lips. "I can't wait to see just how far this path can go."
With her piercing gaze and burning fighting spirit, Tsunade was undeniably charismatic and inspiring admiration.
With such a proactive attitude, Tsunade may soon be able to overcome her inner obstacles and emerge from the shadow of hemophobia.
……
After lunch break, Xingyuan Qianshuo left his shadow clone on duty again while his main body went to the third training ground.
Kushina showed significant improvement in the afternoon, and there were no further instances of her chakra going out of control and injuring her hand, which left Hoshigen Chisaku, the "benevolent healer," with a slight sense of regret.
After receiving the system reward, he no longer needed to study the basics of sealing techniques, so he went to the river to practice water escape.
The water-style techniques he currently masters include "Naval Deployment Technique," "Water Chaos Wave," "Heavenly Cry," and "Water Prison Technique." The latter two were rewards he received from the Konoha Ninja Art Library after being promoted to Special Jonin.
"Water Release: Heaven's Cry" is a B-rank ninjutsu that condenses chakra into high-density water needles and sprays them out of the mouth without the need for hand seals.
The water needles are as thin as a thousand needles, with a diameter of only about one millimeter. They must be accurately aimed at the enemy's vital points to exert their maximum power.
This ninjutsu requires extremely high speed, stealth, and accuracy in its spray. It is usually activated in conjunction with dialogue or feints, using a scattering method to increase the hit rate.
Because it involves both changes in nature and changes in form, it is extremely difficult to cultivate.
Even with the training records of Tobirama Senju given to him by Tsunade, Senju Senju has only just begun to understand the basics and is far from meeting the requirements for actual combat.
laugh!laugh!laugh!
Three water needles shot out rapidly, accurately hitting the circle marked on the rock two meters away, penetrating more than ten centimeters.
"Huff... huff..."
He was panting heavily, rubbing his slightly numb lips—this was the most effective training he had ever had.
The chakra consumption of "Heavenly Cry" is less than that of a normal B-rank ninjutsu, but it still makes him feel strained after using it nine times in a row.
According to his estimate, a normal B-rank ninjutsu consumes about 1000 chakra points, while a Jonin's total chakra is about 10,000 points. In actual combat, the number of times a ninjutsu can be used at once is quite limited.
While resting on a rock, Hoshino looked at Minato and Kushina, who were still training hard not far away, and couldn't help but sigh that the two were truly "physical monsters".
Even if it's just using chakra to impact the ball, being able to train for so long is truly astonishing.
Kushina's immense chakra originated from the Uzumaki clan's bloodline, but what about Minato? Could he truly be a descendant of the Senju clan scattered throughout Konoha?
Thinking of this, Xingyuan Qianshuo couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
The disappearance of the Senju clan remains a mystery. Most other ninja clans have survived, but the Senju of the Forest seem to have vanished into thin air.
The most reasonable explanation is that Hashirama Senju practiced the idea that "the village is more important than the family," allowing the branch family to be completely integrated into Konoha.
However, Xingyuan Qianshuo had never heard of such a thing in the village.
Such a significant "sacrifice" embodying the village's "Will of Fire" should have been celebrated in great detail, but it has been quietly forgotten.
"Huh—"
His thoughts were interrupted by the lively sounds from the other end of the training field.
Two distinctive green figures appeared on the riverbank; their striking bodysuits and fervent shouts were the hallmarks of Matt Day and his son Matt Kai.
"Kai! Stepping on water is just the first step! A true ninja must be able to fight in any environment!" Might Guy stood by the river, his voice booming like a bell.
"Yes, Dad!" Kai responded loudly, carefully stepping onto the water, his steps still a little unsteady.
"Not decisive enough! Your youth shouldn't be bound by fear!" Matt Day shouted sternly.
"Yes, Dad!" Kai roared again, this time his movements were noticeably more unrestrained.
Matt Day flipped himself onto the water's surface and waved to his son: "Come on! Let your youth bloom on the water!"
"Yaaaah!" Kai shouted as he rushed forward, and the father and son engaged in a fierce battle on the water.
However, after only a few rounds, Kai fell into the water with a "plop".
Fortunately, it was a shallow area, and Matt Day scooped his son up. The two looked at each other and laughed, then went back to training.
Xingyuan Qianshuo looked at the passionate father and son and couldn't help but smile.
In the original work, Kai and Kisame Hoshigaki clashed fiercely many times, so the current training is indeed necessary. Who knows, he might face Kisame again in the future.
Considering that the two possessed the strongest physical technique, "Eight Gates," it would be a pity not to exchange skills since they had met before.
Seeing that Kai was already panting heavily, Xingyuan Qianshuo got up and walked towards them.
"Kai, we meet again." He greeted him in a friendly manner.
"Uh..." Might Guy tried hard to recall, but looked completely blank.
"Kay, is this your friend?" Might Day asked.
"Dad, I don't remember..." Kai lowered his head in embarrassment.
Xingyuan Qianshuo quickly introduced himself:
"Senior Dai, I am Xingyuan Qianshuo. A little over a week ago, I brought my students here to practice tree climbing, and we happened to run into Kai and Kakashi having a match."
"So it's Professor Qian Shuo!" Mighty immediately bowed respectfully.
"Senior Dai, you're too kind. I'm a special training instructor for the medical specialty class, and some of Kai's classmates are also in my class."
After explaining, Xingyuan Qianshuo turned to Kai and reminded him, "Kai, you injured Kakashi that day."
"Yes! That was the first time I beat Kakashi!" Guy immediately remembered it, his eyes sparkling.
During the conversation, Xingyuan Qianshuo quietly activated the system to investigate.
Might Guy is in good health, while Might Day...
[Name: Matt Day]
[Conditions: Mild obstruction of the spleen meridian, mild obstruction of the lung meridian, poor circulation of the infraspinatus nerve on the right side of the back, chronic inflammation of the posterior tibial tendon in the right leg...]
Years of high-intensity self-training have indeed left many marks on this physical expert.
Especially the Eight Gates, a forbidden technique that forcibly removes the body's restrictions on chakra, will exert an excessive impact on the body and meridian system every time a gate is opened or used.
Over time, the damage accumulates deep within the muscles and cannot be easily eliminated by ordinary recovery methods.
"Senior Dai, do you often experience dull pain in your left abdomen?" Xingyuan Qianshuo asked with concern.
"Huh? How did you know?" Might Guy was taken aback at first, then suddenly realized, "Oh right, you're a medical ninja!"
Do you often experience numbness or stiffness on the right side of your back?
"That's right! I thought this was a normal reaction after training..."
Kai, standing to the side, immediately tensed up, staring intently at Xingyuan Qianshuo, afraid that he would utter any "terrifying" words.
Xingyuan Qianshuo said solemnly, "This isn't a serious illness, but it shouldn't be ignored. Senior Dai has accumulated quite a few hidden injuries from years of physical training."
"It may not have much of an impact under normal circumstances, but it could suddenly flare up during intense combat."
"Oh, it was a hidden injury..." Might Guy scratched his head sheepishly.
He knew that he had to figure out the cultivation method on his own, and it was inevitable that he would suffer hidden injuries.
"Senior Dai, for a taijutsu ninja, physical health is of utmost importance. If you are free tomorrow, please be sure to come to the hospital for a thorough check-up."
Xingyuan Qianshuo thoughtfully added, "These are injuries accumulated during missions; you can apply for free treatment."
"Okay, okay," Matt Day nodded gratefully.
Seeing that Kai was still worried, Xingyuan Qianshuo gently comforted him:
"Kai, don't worry. Konoha Hospital has excellent doctors like Tsunade, your father's injuries will definitely be healed."
"Yes, Teacher Qian Shuo!" Kai nodded emphatically, his expression resolute.
To distract him, Xingyuan Qianshuo suggested:
"Kai, I watched your training just now, and you're not quite proficient at treading water yet. Why don't you move all the physical training exercises you usually do on land to the water? Once you're fully adapted, you'll be able to fight freely on the water."
Kai's eyes lit up immediately.
He has already developed muscle memory from land training; if he could transfer that proficiency to the water…
"Yes, Professor Qian Shuo!" he replied excitedly.
Seeing Kai's rekindled fighting spirit, Xingyuan Qianshuo decided to add fuel to the fire:
"Imagine facing Kakashi on the water in the future, and defeating him with your superb water-treading skills."
These words were like a fuse, instantly igniting Kai's passion. He raised his right thumb high, his white teeth flashing a bright light: "Thank you for your guidance, Teacher Qian Shuo!"
"Kai! Your youth has finally been recognized!" Might Day hugged his son excitedly, tears welling up in his eyes.
"Dad! My youth is burning!" Kai responded, tears streaming down his face.
Xingyuan Qianshuo subconsciously took a step back.
The father and son's passionate youth almost ignited his deep-seated adolescent spirit—fortunately, he managed to regain his composure and seal it away once more.
