Chapter 72 Changes in Physical Constitution [13]

"Healing charm?"

The Third Hokage looked thoughtfully at the talisman-like object resembling an explosive tag placed on the table.

"Yes. This can greatly alleviate the shortage of medical ninjas," said Nono, the pharmacist, earnestly, as she was brought to the forefront.

"What are the specifics?" The Third Hokage could naturally see the value behind this healing talisman, but he needed to ascertain more information before making a judgment.

"It can quickly heal wounds and restore the body's condition affected by injuries. It can also restore some physical strength."

These effects have already been verified on patients in the medical department. It can achieve a similar effect to the Palm Healing Technique, and it's stable enough." Pharmacist Nonou didn't exaggerate the healing talisman's power, giving an honest answer.

"It can be used as an emergency treatment for wounds on the battlefield. However, for poisoning or more complex injuries, a medical ninja will need to examine the wound and provide targeted treatment based on the symptoms."

"In other words, it cannot replace the role of medical ninjas." The Third Hokage grasped the key point. "What about the cost?"

"Lu Nie improved the manufacturing process and materials of the talisman paper. According to Lu Nie's calculations, it costs the same as a single explosive talisman," Yakushi Nono replied.

When the Third Hokage heard the name Shikane, his thoughts paused and began to wander.

Many of the village's younger generation have begun to distinguish themselves and gradually become known outside the village. Among them, the most famous is Namikaze Mizukaze, who withstood the Cloud Village raiding party at the border.

Secondly, there is Nara Shikane, who mastered Wood Release.

The village's higher-ups naturally knew that Nara Shikane's Wood Release technique was based on his own. However, the news leaked from outside by the Cloud Ninja spread that Konoha had regained its Wood Release bloodline limit.

As the personal disciples of Jiraiya and Orochimaru respectively, the Third Hokage naturally paid close attention to and nurtured them.

In his view, Shiro's talent was very similar to Orochimaru's; he could always come up with some amazing technological achievements from time to time.

Detonation tags?

Refocusing his scattered thoughts, the Third Hokage began to consider deeper questions.

While explosive tags are expensive, they are not unacceptable to a village's finances. The same applies to healing tags.

He now understands the importance of medical ninjas and naturally will not underestimate the role that healing talismans can play on the battlefield.

"As long as we can confirm its effectiveness, the village will consider purchasing a batch of healing talismans. The price will be the same as that of explosive tags," the Third Hokage decided, biting his pipe.

"Thank you, Lord Hokage!" Pharmacist Nonou was pleasantly surprised. As the medical department needed manpower to make healing talismans, they could get a share of the profits from the negotiations with Shikagure. It was a collaboration between the medical department and the technology development department.

……

So after a period of time, healing talismans appeared in ninja equipment as a war reserve, along with explosive tags.

Of course, only Jonin and Chunin can be allocated a few cards. Genin need to purchase them themselves.

With the establishment of the medical department by Tsunade, ninjas from other villages have realized the importance of medical ninjas. However, Konoha is still the only village that has been able to systematically train medical ninjas.

The ninjas of Konoha, especially those in ninja squads who were not assigned medical ninjas, had a strong affinity for healing talismans.

Combat leads to injury, injury reduces one's condition, and reduced condition greatly increases the likelihood of death.

These situations are especially common during wartime. Therefore, a healing talisman might be the ultimate means to restore one's condition and fight back in a critical moment.

The Technology Development Department and the Medical Department have specifically allocated personnel to ensure the production of the healing talismans.

Those ninjas who obtain healing talismans will usually test their effects as soon as possible. For example, they might find an animal or fish, intentionally cause some wounds, and then use the healing talisman to treat them.

Some people prefer to experience it firsthand, using kunai to cut wounds on their bodies to verify the healing talisman's effectiveness.

In a short period of time, the healing talisman gained more recognition than any of Lu Nie's previous creations.

Approval rating: 18711/50000, Physical fitness +30, Chakra +2000

New Recognition Feature: Yang attribute physical trait +1.

While blue-quality healing charms don't see as much increase in popularity as purple or gold-quality finished products, their sheer quantity still allows them to far surpass other products in the same period.

Aside from the fact that higher recognition leads to more inspiration for related derivative product technologies, the special attribute of +1 Yang attribute is what makes Lu Nie even more curious and surprised.

If Lu Nie hadn't seen this label on the panel within his consciousness, he wouldn't have even noticed the abnormality in his body unless he looked closely. After self-examination and carefully experiencing the changes in his body, Lu Nie finally understood this new characteristic.

First, his body became much lighter. The power of Yin Release puts a great burden on the body. If the body's physical condition cannot keep up and achieve a certain balance with the power of Yin Release, then the body will be obviously compressed and weakened, and in more serious cases, it will develop bloodline disease.

Lu Nie's Yin Release power is increasing rapidly with age, even faster than his physical development. Therefore, at times, Lu Nie can understand Kakashi's future appearance of always being weak and frail due to his Sharingan.

The increase in his Yang attribute physique allowed Lu Nie to experience a long-lost sense of ease. Based on previous tests, his physical reactions and abilities had become faster and stronger than before. Even medical ninjutsu corresponding to the Yang attribute became easier for him to use.

This change in state made Lu Nie involuntarily think of other chakra attributes.
