I'm drawing manga in Naruto

It’s too late.

However, when Akabane returned to the comic book shop, he found someone squatting in front of the door, looking depressed and gloomy.

Jiraiya?

Akabane was stunned for a moment. This guy really was staking out the store.

Well, I can't go back to the shop.

He turned and quietly left, but this time Jiraiya was unusually perceptive and quickly noticed the movement. He immediately used the Body Flicker Technique to speed up his journey and chase after Akabane.

"Akabane, you owe me my hair!"

The piercing roar was filled with resentment over the loss of hair, but it was all innocent to Akabane.

We just drew this, and you practiced it, but you even used the Needle Jizo to block the Fire Escape.

If you're not bald, who is?

Akabane thought to himself, but since he had been noticed, there was no point in continuing to run; they weren't playing hide-and-seek.

Jiraiya caught up, somewhat out of breath.

However, he made rapid progress at Mount Myōboku during this period, and his taijutsu was much stronger than during the Chunin Exams; otherwise, he would never have been able to catch up with me.

Akabane glanced at it and sighed, "How badly is your hair burned?"

"look by youself!"

Jiraiya cancels his transformation technique, revealing the true situation—

A large hole was burned in the middle of his once white hair, forming an "Ω" shape.

In the words of my past life, it's the Mediterranean Sea.

"You wanted to practice the Needle Earthly Treasury yourself, and you even foolishly used it to block a fire escape technique. How can you blame me for that?"

Akabane forced himself not to laugh.

"It's not your fault, but please help me think of a solution! I've lost all my hair!"

Jiraiya had been waiting at the door all day because of the hair issue, and only now has Akabane finally arrived.

"I can't do anything about it growing back. You can either shave it all off or wear a wig, but you can ask Orochimaru."

Akabane had no choice.

Even if he exchanges for the Needle Jizo, the hair created by the ninjutsu is temporary. Once the chakra is withdrawn, it will immediately return to its original state, having no effect whatsoever.

Getting hair to grow involves the field of regeneration; you should consult the scientist Orochimaru.

However, in order to help him, Akabane exchanged the needle for Jizo.

It's just a B-rank ninjutsu anyway.

With the help of the knowledge obtained through the system, Akabane gained a much deeper understanding of this technique.

It requires long-term chakra nourishment to give the hair extremely high activity before it can be extended to develop various ninjutsu.

Simply strengthening with chakra is not enough to completely withstand high-powered attacks.

"Orochimaru? No way! I'd rather shave my head!"

Jiraiya was resolute.

This is his last shred of dignity. If he goes to Orochimaru for something like this, that jerk will absolutely laugh at him like crazy.

"Then shave it off, and use chakra to continuously stimulate and increase the activity of your hair. It will grow back quickly, and it will also help you cultivate the power of your hair."

Akabane said, "As for hair-based ninjutsu, I suggest you use it sparingly to defend against powerful attacks before you've mastered the technique, as it's very risky."

"Chakra nourishment? How do I do that?"

Jiraiya's eyes lit up.

So, Akabane explained the knowledge he had obtained from the system.

Jiraiya gradually became less depressed and instead became extremely excited. After hearing everything, he excitedly ran to find a barber to get a haircut.

Akabane shook his head slightly, then shifted his gaze back to the system's exchange list. He'd been too busy yesterday and completely forgotten about the manga update; there should be quite a few extra ninjutsu listed there…

C-rank ninjutsu, Chakra Scalpel.

A-rank ninjutsu, Yin Healing and Destruction.

Super Strength - Painful Heavenly Kick.

……

The list includes ninjutsu, some medical knowledge, and techniques for bombarding nerves with chakra, while the most expensive items are naturally Yin Seal and Creation Rebirth.

The Yin Seal is slightly cheaper, since Akabane has already mastered its technique, though he simply can't understand it. However, as an S-rank sealing technique, it still requires two thousand points.

Creating and regenerating is quite expensive, requiring a full 2,500 points.

However, this ability is the strongest life-saving technique, and it must be replaced no matter how high the price. Chi Yu has accumulated nearly 10,000 points, so this little consumption is nothing.

Since there was no need to go to the preparatory department or draw in the afternoon, Akabane returned to the comic shop's break room and exchanged for the Yin Seal and Creation Regeneration without hesitation.

The Yin Seal was extremely difficult to execute; Akabane couldn't understand it at all just by reading the description on the scroll. But with the system's help, he instantly "comprehended" it.

I still don't quite understand it, but I can already use it.

Chapter 230 Mission or Companion: A Choice

The most difficult part of Yin Seal is constructing the sealing formula, which Akabane didn't understand at all before, and it was completely impossible to ask others to help apply the seal.

With the system's help, he quickly mastered how to use the Yin Seal.

In just two or three hours, Akabane completed the Yin Seal. He looked in the mirror and sure enough, a diamond-shaped mark appeared on his forehead.

This mark can enhance a woman's charm, but on oneself...

I always feel like something is weird.

Akabane stared for a few seconds, trying to hide, but failed.

"Never mind, he's pretty handsome too."

He sighed softly and continued exchanging currency.

Creation and regeneration.

Once acquired, this ninjutsu can be mastered immediately. If there is enough chakra stored in the Yin Seal, breaking the Yin Seal and combining it with Creation Regeneration can continuously restore any injury to the body.

It is the forbidden regeneration technique that Tsunade created after studying the First Hokage's data.

After exchanging for these two techniques, Akabane felt a little more secure. As long as he had enough chakra, he wouldn't die easily.

He poured all his excess chakra into the Yin Seal and fell into deep thought—now that he had learned Creation Rebirth, should he teach it to Tsunade?

Akabane had some reservations.

To research and develop creative regeneration techniques, one must possess at least top-tier medical expertise.

Even Tsunade created it after Dan and Nawaki died, when she was wandering around, so even Orochimaru didn't recognize the technique in the story.

Do I deserve to be called top-tier in the field of medical ninjutsu?

No, you don't deserve it!

Furthermore, Tsunade's purpose in creating the Creation Technique is worth pondering. In the manga, she herself was unclear about why she created this ninjutsu, but now she wants to use Creation Rebirth to research Sage Mode.

This is practically like spending your life to become stronger.

Taking all factors into consideration...

Akabane decided not to reveal this forbidden technique to Tsunade for the time being, but to keep it sealed away and teach it to her later depending on the situation.

Exchanging for two high-value ninjutsu techniques cost over four thousand points, leaving only about five thousand points remaining from the original generous amount.

After redeeming the Painful Kick and all other medical-related options, my savings of nearly 10,000 yuan instantly dwindled to only about 2,500 yuan.

Although he had mastered how to use his super strength, he still spent more than two thousand points in total.

However, the gains were also very significant.

Thanks to the medical ninjutsu and medical knowledge obtained through the system, as well as some medical knowledge principles that come with the ninjutsu, Akabane is fully capable of working as a medical ninja, instead of being a half-baked practitioner who only knew how to use Sage Mode.

Akabane almost cried, knowing he no longer needed to worry about giving himself away in front of Tsunade.

of course……

Ninjutsu like Chakra Scalpel, Chaotic Body Rush, and Yin Healing Destruction can be taught to Tsunade right now.

Besides, given Jiraiya's intelligence, he started studying the Needle Jizo after reading the manga, so there's no reason why Tsunade wouldn't do the same. This is a good opportunity to visit the set and see how things are going on Tsunade's side.

Like the preparatory department, the research institute also officially opened.

The research institute is equipped with a medical laboratory, and since Tsunade is now a leading figure in the medical department, this laboratory naturally belongs to her.

Akabane returned to the reserve department and checked on the training along the way.

The afternoon was for physical training. With Might Guy leading the way, everyone was "full" of energy. Orochimaru's strength-building meals also played a significant role.

He has now developed not only nutritious meals, but also extremely unpalatable nutritional drinks.

In short, it was another happy day for the genin.

Akabane continued on his way to the research institute not far away.

The research institute is large, but there are not many people there yet. There are only Orochimaru and Tsunade inside. The equipment is quite expensive, and only five sets have been provided so far.

Passing by the first laboratory, Akabane saw Orochimaru inside fiddling with some herbs, insects, and meat of unknown species.

This scene is almost as dramatic as making dry sauce.

of course……

It does have good effects; apart from being unpalatable and difficult to drink, it has no other problems.

Let us observe three seconds of silence for the trainees.

Akabane paused for a moment, then continued walking and quickly found Tsunade's laboratory.

She was holding a pile of documents, and as expected, she was studying the issue of creation and regeneration.

Previously, there wasn't much information available about Tsunade, and even less about Hashirama Senju. However, things are different now. The village is strongly supporting the development of medical ninjutsu, and naturally, they have also brought out some of the limited research data from the Second Hokage.

This information is crucial.

After a day of observation, Tsunade was at a loss.

The difficulty is too high.

"I knew it, you were definitely researching this."

Akabane looked exactly as I expected.

Tsunade rolled her eyes and said irritably, "I didn't specifically research Creation Regeneration. It's just that my grandfather's regeneration ability has a powerful healing effect, which might be helpful in developing medical ninjutsu, so I studied this information."

"Just kidding, but the difficulty of creation and regeneration is indeed very high. I only have a preliminary concept of the principle, and I have no clue how to achieve it. However, I do have a chakra scalpel..."

Akabane formed hand seals.

After a series of hand seals, a highly concentrated chakra blade appeared in one of his hands.

Although it's only a C-rank ninjutsu, its effects in the medical system are irreplaceable by any external means, and Tsunade naturally understands its value.

He then demonstrated the Yin Healing and Destruction Technique and the Chaotic Body Charge Technique.

The latter requires extremely high chakra control, while the former is relatively difficult and cannot be mastered in a short time.

After teaching these things, Akabane prepared to turn and leave.

Tsunade continued her research, when suddenly she felt something was off—why did that face look so out of place?

"Wait, turn around."

She felt something was strange; she had been so focused on studying ninjutsu that she hadn't paid much attention to it before.

Akabane turned his head.

Tsunade reached out and brushed aside Akabane's bangs, which he was deliberately hiding on his forehead.

"I was wondering why things seemed off. Turns out you've mastered the Yin Seal, and you're even deliberately covering it up with your bangs... Hahaha, what's wrong? Doesn't it look good?"
