Naruto: Starting with Creating a Genius Persona

Inside the fourth training field, sunlight filtered through the dense foliage, casting dappled, shimmering spots of light.

Shinichi's main body stood outside the arena with Tsunade, while inside the arena, Shinichi's two shadow clones were instructing Kurenai Yuhi and Shizune.

A shadow clone faced Kurenai Yuhi and said bluntly, "Kurenai, you are skilled in swordsmanship and also proficient in genjutsu. Today I will teach you a fighting technique that combines the two—Konoha Style: Willow."

"Konoha Style: Willow?" Kurenai blinked, somewhat curious.

"This is a move created by a very powerful predecessor, a composite attack that combines illusion and swordsmanship," the shadow clone explained. "In battle, it starts with Konoha-style swordsmanship while simultaneously activating a specific illusion, as if the user has disappeared into the leaves fluttering in the wind. This illusion temporarily binds the enemy's body, making it difficult for them to move. Then, a surprise attack is launched, piercing through in one strike. It is a swift swordsmanship that aims for a one-hit kill and is difficult to dodge."

He thought for a moment and added, "Based on the overall learning difficulty, the rating is S."

"S-rank?!" Kurenai Yuhi couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, her eyes widening. This was already an ultimate ninjutsu.

"Can...I really do it?" She subconsciously doubted herself.

"Of course you can." The shadow clone said confidently, encouragingly, "Precisely because you have the foundation in both of these aspects, you are the best candidate to learn it. Moreover, it does not require you to be perfect right away. We can break it down into steps, starting with the most basic sword moves and the timing of illusion activation. The so-called S-rank refers to the perfect form of ultimate mastery. What we need to do now is lay that foundation."

The hesitation in Kurenai's eyes gradually gave way to determination, and she nodded: "I understand, thank you, Shinichi."

"Alright, let's begin! First, let's try using a sword while..."

At the same time, another shadow clone appeared in front of Shizune and also went straight to the point:

"Silence, today we'll continue to deepen the application of Palm Healing Technique and Chakra Scalpel."

The shadow clone stretched out its hand, palm facing upwards.

First, a soft, vibrant green glow appeared, symbolizing the healing palm technique. Then, the nature of the glow subtly changed, with sharp, pale blue light emanating from its edges, symbolizing a sharp chakra scalpel.

"You see, both are essentially about finely manipulating and concentrating chakra in the hands. The key difference lies in the output frequency, the form of condensation, and the intention when acting on biological tissues." The shadow clone explained in detail the fine-tuning of chakra manipulation, the gradient control of output intensity, and how to seamlessly switch between "repair" and "cutting" modes according to the injury or surgical needs.

Silent listened very attentively, asking various questions from time to time.

The shadow clone then provided clear answers to each question and guided her through targeted practice.

At the edge of the training ground, Tsunade leaned against a thick tree trunk, her arms crossed over her chest. The shadows shrouded her, making it difficult to discern the emotions in her eyes.

She silently watched the scene unfold.

Under the guidance of Shinichi's shadow clone, Kurenai Yuhi repeatedly tried to integrate illusion techniques into her swordsmanship. Although her attempts were still clumsy, her direction was clear.

Shizune was completely focused on the precise conversion of medical ninjutsu chakra in her palm. Fine beads of sweat appeared on her forehead, but her eyes were clear and her progress was visible to the naked eye.

Both students are working hard and making tangible progress.

The one guiding them was not their teacher, but a young boy in their team who seemed to be omnipotent.

Is this kid really that well-taught?

I taught them very diligently, so how come those two little girls improved so quickly under this kid's guidance?

Tsunade tilted her head slightly and said to Shinichi with a hint of dejection, "Tsk, seeing how well you're teaching Shadow Clone Jutsu, and how much progress Kurenai and Shizune have made, it makes me, the real instructor, seem useless."

Upon hearing this, Shinichi turned around, a clean smile on his face, and said naturally, "How could that be? I was able to think of these things because I am Tsunade-sensei's student. I usually watch how she guides us and analyzes cases, and I have learned some methods by observation. In the end, I am putting what she taught me into practice."

"You brat." Tsunade laughed and scolded him, amused by his words, and her previous annoyance dissipated a little: "All you do is say nice things all day long. I don't know where you learned this glib tongue skill from."

Her gaze returned to Kurenai and Shizune, who were training hard on the field. The smile on her face gradually faded, replaced by a deeper silence.

After a long while, she spoke again, her voice much lower than before:

"Both of them...are actually quite talented in medical ninjutsu, especially Shizune. She's had a very solid foundation under my guidance since childhood, and she's also very meticulous. Kurenai, although her main focus is different, learns very quickly too." Tsunade paused for a moment, as if carefully choosing her words. "I plan to arrange for them to go to Konoha Hospital for more systematic learning and internships in a few days, training them to become professional medical ninjas. What do you think?"

Shinichi nodded in agreement without any hesitation, saying, "I think Tsunade-sensei's idea is excellent. A systematic hospital internship can solidify the foundation, and exposure to more cases can quickly accumulate experience. Even if they don't become professional medical ninjas in the future, this experience will be extremely valuable for their future development."

"And what about you?"

Tsunade suddenly turned her head and looked directly at Shinichi, her eyes showing a rare seriousness.

"Your talent and rapid progress in medical ninjutsu are evident to everyone. Many senior medical ninjas in the hospital have told me privately that your current level has surpassed many others." Her tone softened, carrying a persuasive undertone: "You could also go to the hospital and become a more specialized medical ninja. With your talent, you could quickly become a backbone, or even a top performer, within the hospital. Besides..."

She paused, seemingly trying to find a more convincing reason, and said:

"Medical ninjas also serve the village and are an indispensable part of Konoha. They treat their comrades in the rear, ensure their safety, and provide solid support for the ninjas on the front lines. This significance and contribution is no less than that of charging into battle on the front lines. In fact, from some perspectives, it is even more important. It can truly save lives and reduce tragedies."

After she finished speaking, she looked at Shinichi quietly, waiting for his answer.

The sidelines fell silent for a moment, with only the faint sounds of training and the rustling of leaves in the wind coming from afar.

Upon hearing this, Shinichi remained silent for a while before finally speaking, "Tsunade-sensei, thank you."

"Ha! I knew it."

Tsunade let out a cold laugh that was hard to tell whether it was disappointment or understanding, then turned away and said nothing more.
