Konoha: Who's the good guy?

With his Jonin-level hand speed and skillful cooking techniques.

In less than an hour, Shan Zhongjing prepared a sumptuous dinner.

This was after Kushina came in halfway through and asked for an extra large pot of rice, enough for ten people, and the subsequent dishes were also made into extra-large portions.

Otherwise, at the pace of the scenery in the mountains, half an hour would be more than enough.

The food is served.

Tsunade, who was already starving, began to inhale rapidly after saying, "I'm going to eat."

The rice in the pot was falling as fast as if it were on double speed.

The sizable stir-fried dishes on the table began to disappear at a visible rate.

No, sister, did you just fight with Payne?

When Yamanaka Kei saw Tsunade's posture, he paused, his chopsticks still holding the food.

If Kushina hadn't said that Tsunade had been waiting for him for several days, he would have suspected that this girl had just come back from a real-life PK battle.

"Tsunade is currently developing a ninjutsu, which is quite taxing."

When Kushina saw her boyfriend being shocked by Tsunade's eating habits, her pretty face showed a hint of undisguised envy, and she offered an explanation.

She didn't care about developing ninjutsu; what she cared about was that Tsunade could enjoy all kinds of delicious food without any worries.

Advanced medical ninjutsu requires the use of Yang Release nature transformation.

It's like the Akimichi clan's secret technique, which allows them to quickly store fat through food and then convert that fat into chakra.

With Tsunade's mastery of medical ninjutsu, no matter how much she eats, she will gain weight in the right places and lose weight in the right places, without worrying about losing her figure.

Eating more can even replenish the chakra of the Yin Seal.

She was so envious she wanted to cry, okay?

"????"

The first thing that came to mind was the seal that assisted the Yin Seal and was specifically designed to counter illusions.

But then I thought it was too much. After all, he was a ruthless person in the original work who developed the "Creation and Regeneration: Hundred Healings Technique" and could reconnect his body even if it was cut in two.

It's just a simple seal with low technical difficulty. For Tsunade, who has the "Medical Master" attribute, she could figure it out in a few hours at most. It's really not that difficult.

That's a new ninjutsu?

Oh, right...

"Tsunade, with your current medical ninjutsu, could you create a life transfer technique?"

Taking advantage of the moment when Tsunade finished swallowing and chewing, Yamanaka Kei quickly asked a question.

Tsunade paused slightly as she prepared to eat, subconsciously thinking of Orochimaru, and raised her head sharply from the rice bowl.

"Life transference? Hah~ You know medical ninjutsu?"

"Um... I know a few medical water-style techniques."

Shan Zhongjing put down his chopsticks, feeling somewhat embarrassed to bring this up.

He had previously studied the memories of several medical ninjas in the analysis class, and even practiced medical ninjutsu for a period of time.

Unfortunately, he was born without Yang Release chakra nature, and when he activated medical ninjutsu, he would instinctively mix in some Yin Release chakra nature.

Not only is the cultivation difficult, but the effects of its execution are also highly unstable.

After treatment, a half-dead fish will either perform a Thomas Flair followed by two and a half somersaults before dying, or it will become as stiff as a pig that has been hit on the head, dying on the spot.

If it weren't for the system giving him a cheat code when he obtained the purple attribute "Water Release Master," allowing him to quickly master several medical water release techniques from his memories.

His medical ninjutsu...

Well... its main purpose is to provide the colleagues in the analysis class with a few grilled fish or a few pots of fish soup.

"Medical Water Release: A very gentle technique."

Upon hearing Yamanaka Kei's reply, Tsunade's originally sharp gaze softened considerably.

Unlike medical ninjutsu such as Healing Palm Technique and Regeneration Technique, which are driven by Yang Release chakra, Medical Water Release uses more Water Release chakra.

Because of the difference in the nature of chakra.

The former involves forcibly activating all the cells near the wound, stimulating them to rapidly divide and regenerate in the shortest possible time, thereby achieving the goal of healing the wound.

The latter is provided with a large amount of energy and nutrients needed by the body by Water Release Chakra, so that the cells can autonomously enter a stable state of division and regeneration due to the intervention of this energy.

In terms of treatment efficiency alone, conventional medical ninjutsu is far superior to medical water ninjutsu.

However, the rapid regeneration of cells will inevitably consume the patient's life energy and reduce their lifespan.

This is why many seriously injured ninjas remain weak for a period of time after they recover.

While the recovery speed of medical water ninjutsu is much slower, it is undoubtedly more friendly to patients and causes far less damage to the body than conventional medical ninjutsu.

Many people with severely declining physical functions are also more suitable for treatment using medical water escape.

In short, how bad can a person's character be if they choose to forgo learning conventional medical ninjutsu, which has a stronger instant healing effect, and instead specialize in learning medical water jutsu, which is more patient-friendly?

Tsunade resumed quickly shoveling rice into her mouth, finishing a bowl in a big gulp. Only while refilling her bowl did she speak again.

"You asked about life transfer, what are you trying to do?"

"...I've heard of a technique called Dragon Life Reincarnation. It uses the nature transformation of Yang-attribute chakra to distribute the caster's life energy to others, and no matter how severe their injuries, they can be healed."

"Hmm, I've heard of it. The Kusagakure Ryumei clan uses a technique activated by their bloodline limit. Once it's used, the caster will die. Can you accept such a price?"

"Some people and some things are more precious than life itself, and... sometimes regret is more terrifying than death."

After Shan Zhongjing finished speaking, silence fell over the dinner table.

Tsunade held a large bowl that had just been filled with rice, her eyes vacant as she poked at the grains of rice with her chopsticks.

Kushina was moved and was about to wipe away her tears when she saw Yamanaka Kei secretly making a gesture for the Mind Transfer Jutsu under the table.

emmm...

What a despicable guy!

Give me back the gratitude I felt!

Kushina puffed out her cheeks, afraid that Tsunade would see through her act, and quickly lowered her head, also poking at her rice with her chopsticks.

Rice: I'd rather die in the pot.

"...Do you have any clues about this ninjutsu?"

Tsunade snapped out of her reverie.

She had to admit that even someone like her, who felt she had nothing left to lose, would feel a longing for such ninjutsu.

If such ninjutsu had existed back then, wouldn't it be...?

"Among the secret techniques inherited from the Hozuki clan that I just obtained, there is a ninjutsu called 'Water Transformation Healing Technique,' which allows me to transform myself into water and wrap the target's wounds in a watery state to quickly heal the target. This involves life transfer."

"However, this life transfer is entirely a passive effect and doesn't touch the core essence at all. I've heard that the secret technique of Takigakure, Earth Grudge Fear, can completely transfer life energy to special black tentacles..."

"In the underground gold exchange of the Land of Fire, there are a few ruthless individuals who possess a technique called Reanimation Jutsu, which allows them to transfer life energy along with their blood to their hair..."

"There's also the Fuma clan. They have a ninjutsu that can only be used once in their lifetime, called Dragonfly Ninjutsu: Butterfly Transformation. It allows them to use their life energy to undergo a complete transformation, healing their injuries and emerging from their cocoon as a butterfly..."

"By the way, that medical ninja 'Shennong,' who has visited Konoha several times, is said to be extremely knowledgeable about physical regeneration and possesses a forbidden technique for physical regeneration..."

"I think that if we master the previous methods of life transfer, make slight improvements, and supplement them with the butterfly transformation technique of the Wind Demon Clan or the physical regeneration technique like Shennong's, we might be able to create a technique similar to the Dragon Life Reincarnation?"

The mountain scenery murmured its initial plan.

Tsunade's gaze shifted from gentle to wary and suspicious.

Does this kid even know what he's saying?

Previously, it was one thing to deal with the Dragon Clan of Kusagakure, but now there's Kirigakure, Takigakure, the underground gold exchange, the Fuma Clan, and that Shennong whose origins are unknown...

You're not trying to create ninjutsu, you're trying to start a war!
