Konoha's Hextech Ninja

If it weren't for the fact that hemophobia caused him to waste more than twenty years, his strength would definitely be stronger than it was during the Fourth Shinobi World War in the original work.

As one of her own, Yagami Yoruichi naturally hoped that Tsunade could get rid of the effects of hemophobia as soon as possible and regain her confidence.

"What do you know!" Upon hearing the words "hemophobia," Tsunade immediately bristled. Forgetting about the secrets of the Sharingan and Wood Release, she angrily retorted, "Do you think I don't want to?! It's just that I can't control myself!"

Having been in contact with Tsunade for so long, although the topic of 'hemophobia' has never been mentioned, Yagami Yoruichi has some understanding of it.

According to Yoruichi Yagami, 'hemophobia' is a type of mental illness and a typical stress response.

This can be restored through psychotherapy.

The ninja world does not have the concept of 'mental illness'.

However, in Yagami Yoruichi's previous life, there were countless related theories and research results, and even most mental illnesses had practical and effective treatment plans.

Although Yoruichi Yagami didn't know much about this, after coming to this world and becoming Tsunade's apprentice, she learned medical ninjutsu and developed her own understanding of medicine.

In the field of psychotherapy, we are confident that we can achieve certain results through research.

“Teacher, your hemophobia is not a physical illness, but rather a psychological one,” Yagami Yoruichi said eloquently, explaining the concept of ‘psychological illness’.

After a brief introduction, Yagami Yoruichi said, "I've only just begun my research into the study and treatment of mental illnesses. If possible, I hope you can join us; perhaps we can develop a treatment for hemophobia."

"You little rascal!"

Upon hearing Yagami Yoruichi's words, Tsunade felt a strange emotion stir within her.

I haven't taken this disciple for nothing!

However, Tsunade was still somewhat skeptical about the concepts of 'mental illness' and 'psychotherapy': 'Are you sure what you're saying will work?'

"We've only just begun our research, how can we say for sure that it will work?" Yagami Yoruichi noticed that Tsunade was somewhat interested and couldn't help but smile. "But with your medical ninjutsu, teacher, if we work together, we'll surely achieve something."

Having said that, Tsunade was no longer going to refuse.

But she still hesitated a little: "What about your cultivation? And your two girlfriends, aren't you going to take them on missions?"

"Rin and I are just ordinary companions," Yagami Yoruichi corrected before saying, "After what happened with Orochimaru, our team isn't suited to leave the village for the time being. For research, we can use shadow clones; it won't affect my main body's training."

"That's true. With your chakra reserves, creating hundreds of shadow clones wouldn't be a big burden for you, would it?"

Tsunade nodded subconsciously.

Yoruichi Yagami's body has developed in a way that seems to be endless, with her chakra reserves increasing day by day.

The thought raced through her mind, but Tsunade put on a sour face and snapped, "Now that you're back, go work at the hospital! Shadow clones will do! The hospital is already overwhelmed!"

"Yes, yes, I'll go right now."

Yagami Yoruichi looked helpless.

Who can blame them when their teacher is nominally the director of Konoha Hospital?

Occasionally, I'll work for the teacher for free; there's nothing I can do about it.

Upon emerging from the Senju clan's territory, Yagami Yoruichi saw Orochimaru waiting outside and immediately tensed up, adopting a defensive stance.

Orochimaru, however, showed no intention of making a move. He took out a scroll and tossed it to Yoruichi Yagami: "This is the Flying Thunder God Technique you requested. I traded it with the old man using the merits I had accumulated. You can use it openly. But if you don't have the talent for space-time ninjutsu, then don't blame me."

Space-time ninjutsu requires special talent to learn and is not something everyone can master.

Yoruichi Yagami wasn't too worried about this.

Having activated the system for so long, Yagami Yoruichi had already confirmed one thing: the 'Rune Mage - Ryze' template brought him more than just the passive skill [Arcane Mastery] and extremely high stats.

They also possess extraordinary talent in 'magic'.

Although this talent is only reflected in chakra control, after all, Ryze does not have a specific attribute.

However, Ryze does have 'spatial abilities'.

Its ultimate move, [Mirror Warp], is a large-scale strategic spatial skill.

It's impossible to say that Ryze doesn't have spatial abilities.

Since Ryze has it, then I, who inherited Ryze's template, should have no problem mastering the Flying Thunder God Technique.

At most, it just doesn't reach the level of the Second or Fourth Hokage who were so incredibly powerful.

"Thank you, senior." Yagami Yoruichi took the scroll but did not open it immediately. Instead, she planned to wait for Namikaze Minato to return to the village so that he could check it first.

As for Orochimaru, Yoruichi Yagami cannot be trusted.

Yagami Yoruichi looked up at Orochimaru and asked, "Senpai, have you already conducted the experiment? I wonder if it was successful?"

"It wasn't successful, but we've made great progress, enough to give me reason to restart the experiment." Orochimaru was clearly in a good mood and didn't mind revealing some of the experiment's progress to Yoruichi Yagami.

"I'm curious, where did you get that information?" Orochimaru asked, looking at Yoruichi Yagami. "I wonder what price I'll have to pay to get the source of this information from you, Yoruichi-kun?"

"Well..."

Yagami Yoruichi hesitated for a moment, wondering whether she should reveal the existence of Uchiha Madara and let Orochimaru confront him.

However, considering Madara Uchiha's terrifying combat power and arrogant personality, Yoruichi Yagami gave up the idea.

If Orochimaru were to reveal his existence and pique Madara Uchiha's interest, leading him to attack Konoha, then we would be doomed.

Even though Madara Uchiha is now very old, he is still a Kage-level powerhouse, with one foot already in the threshold of Six Paths level.

In this era without Hashirama Senju, Madara Uchiha is undoubtedly the number one ninja in the world.

Even if he were old and dying, and had transplanted his hard-won Rinnegan to Nagato Uzumaki, he was still not someone an ordinary 'Kage' could deal with.

Moreover, if we were to provoke Madara Uchiha and he were to wreak havoc in the ninja world, who knows what kind of chain reaction it would trigger.

Let him go and wreak havoc on the Land of Water and the Hidden Mist Village, instead of causing trouble on the Ninja World continent.

With a thought in mind, Yagami Yoruichi said, "I can't tell you yet, senpai. You don't have what I want yet."

"Oh?" Orochimaru looked at Yoruichi Yagami with interest and asked, "What do you want? Why don't you tell me?"

Yagami Yoruichi was just making up an excuse, hoping to make Orochimaru back down, but she never expected him to ask her so many questions.

Yoruichi Yagami quickly searched her mind for information about Orochimaru. After thinking for a while, she said, "I've heard that there's an incomplete forbidden technique called 'Impure World Reincarnation Technique' in the Book of Sealing. If you can perfect this technique, you can use it to exchange information with me."

In the original work, Orochimaru never perfected the Impure World Reincarnation technique before his death. It was Kabuto Yakushi who later perfected and popularized this forbidden technique.

While Orochimaru's attention wasn't focused on this forbidden technique, even if he had concentrated on its research, it would have taken him several years to fully perfect it.

Let alone a few years.

In just one or two years, Yagami Yoruichi will no longer need to fear Orochimaru. At that point, she won't have to worry about whether to make a deal or go to war.

Chapter 136 All-Attribute Ninja

Yagami Yoichi wasn't particularly interested in the Impure World Reincarnation technique, but this forbidden jutsu was indeed a good excuse to buy time.

"Impure World Reincarnation? That technique does exist, and I know it too, though it's only a half-finished version. The resurrected dead aren't much stronger than Chunin, and they're prone to going out of control."

Orochimaru commented a few words, saying, "But if this technique is perfected, it could be enough for one person to destroy a country. Are you sure your information is worth that price?"

"Just like last time, I'll give you the information first, and you can make your own judgment. If you think it's worth it, then you can hand over the technique to me." Yagami Yoruichi said with a smile, "But the transaction must take place after you have completely perfected the Impure World Reincarnation."

Since it was just a matter of stalling for time, Yagami Yoruichi simply offered Orochimaru empty promises.

Hearing Yagami Yoruichi's explanation, Orochimaru no longer doubted it and nodded, saying, "I will consider it, but perfecting this technique is very difficult and may take several years."

“I can wait. I have plenty of patience for the secrets of chakra and ninjutsu,” Yagami Yoruichi said.

"The secrets of chakra and ninjutsu, I like that phrase." Orochimaru gave a meaningful smile, his body gradually merging into the wall behind him and disappearing.

Seeing this, Yagami Yoruichi shook her head slightly and muttered to herself, "It's Earth Release again. Apart from forbidden techniques and snake-type ninjutsu, it seems that Orochimaru's forte is Earth Release."

Earth Release, Lightning Release, and Yin Release are three elemental attributes that Yagami Yoruichi has not mastered.

The first two can be gradually mastered through training in chakra nature transformation.

The primary requirement for Yin Release is an extremely high [Spirit] attribute, which Yagami Yoruichi does not yet possess and needs to improve her attribute through the [Soul Devouring] Hextech.

Once your [Spirit] attribute has been raised to a sufficiently high level, you can slowly try to master the chakra nature transformation of 'Yin Release'.

Let's leave aside the Yin Escape for now.

Yagami Yoruichi has already met the requirements for training in Earth Release and Lightning Release, and has included them in her training plan.

Mastering all five attributes is definitely stronger than mastering three attributes, and it allows you to adapt to a variety of different combat environments.

Earth Release and Lightning Release each possess unique characteristics, making them highly valuable in terms of attack, defense, and other aspects.

Originally, Yagami Yoruichi planned to take Yuhi Kurenai and Nohara Rin through some missions to gain some experience.

However, given the Orochimaru incident, Yagami Yoruichi is hesitant to leave Konoha with the two women for the time being. Instead, she might as well use this time to train in Earth Release and Lightning Release.

Of course, there is something even more important: the 'Flying Thunder God Technique'.

Yagami Yoru glanced at the ninjutsu scroll in his hand, formed hand seals to create a shadow clone, which went to Konoha Hospital to relieve Tsunade, while his main body headed towards the Minato Namikaze residence.

……

Minato Namikaze has taken on a mission and is away from the village.

However, Yagami Yoruichi was quite lucky, as she encountered Jiraiya, who had seen the scroll recording the Flying Thunder God Technique and helped Yagami Yoruichi confirm that the scroll Orochimaru gave her was correct.

After saying goodbye to Jiraiya, Yagami Yoruichi hesitated for a moment, but still called Kurenai Yuhi and Rin Nohara to come to the training ground together.

Since graduating early, the 'training group' that used to train together often has become defunct, as everyone is busy with their own tasks and rarely gets together anymore.

However, whenever he has free time, he still comes to this training ground to practice.

Yagami Yoruichi creates shadow clones to accompany Yuhi Kurenai in her daily basic training and to instruct Nohara Rin in medical ninjutsu.

The main body, holding the scroll of the Flying Thunder God Technique, found a secluded corner to peruse it.

"The first step is to use your own chakra, combined with a special sealing technique, to create a 'space-time imprint'."

"The second step is to perceive the imprint."

"The third step is to open the chakra channels."

"The fourth step is to move to the side of the mark."

The cultivation process sounds simple, but every step is incredibly difficult.

The creation of the 'space-time imprint' alone requires a high level of sealing skill.

"No wonder that after the Second Hokage, only Minato Namikaze learned this technique. Ordinary ninjas simply don't have the opportunity to study sealing techniques in depth; at most, they can only learn a little bit of the basics."
