Konoha: Tsunade, I am the Hokage

Chapter 126 Onoki: I'm not fighting anymore! It's not worth risking my life!

Kurenai tried her best to explain.

Jingyan smiled slightly, took the booklet from her hands, and said as he flipped through it, "When did things become so distant between us?"

He glanced at it a few times.

Kurenai Yuhi's idea was to differentiate between accompanying ninjas and professional medical ninjas during the promotion from genin to chunin, lowering the requirements for the medical abilities of accompanying ninjas and positioning them more as "incidental".

She also listed the types of ninjas suitable for also having medical skills.

It's clear that Kurenai Yuhi has her own thoughts, incorporating her experience and perspectives into the team's medical training, and choosing to have the medical ninja specialize in it, returning to her previous state.

This is the direction of differentiation.

only……

He didn't quite agree.

Seeing that Kyohiko was looking at her intently, Kurenai didn't explain, but instead looked at him with a mixture of expectation and worry.

I look forward to Jingyan's approval.

I'm worried he'll be unhappy.

Jingyan watched quietly, then slowly sat down by the tree, while Yuhi Kurenai nervously squatted down in front of him.

Not far away, Kakashi, who had also come over after hearing the commotion, stopped in his tracks upon seeing this scene, too embarrassed to go any further.

He huddled in the tree, his little brain working at lightning speed.

Could it be...?

hiss!

Kakashi felt his heart pounding, and he quietly peeked out from behind the tree trunk.

Tsk!

It looks like Hong is the one pursuing him.

Also.

Jingyan seems to know everything and is very kind to everyone, but in reality, he is too outstanding and is kind to everyone.

Pursuing someone like that would be incredibly stressful!

Kakashi, who has yet to meet a girl he likes, thought to himself with an air of experience.

however.

At this moment, Kyohiko had finished reading the book.

He sighed softly, "Kakashi, you're already here, why hide? Kurenai and I weren't discussing anything special."

If a lecherous man like Kakashi keeps quiet and doesn't speak up, normal things will only get more and more outrageous in the other person's mind.

The setting sun cast a red glow as it looked around in bewilderment.

Kakashi's ability to hide was quite good, and he fooled her, but the subtle movements still couldn't escape Kyohiko's hearing.

The next instant, he awkwardly vanished.

"Won't this bother you?"

"No, I was asking Kyohiko-kun about medical ninjas."

Kurenai looked at Kakashi strangely, but soon her face turned red and she glared at him.

What is this guy thinking?

Although, but...

Ok.

She didn't seem to dislike the misunderstanding.

Jingyan is so outstanding and very gentle to his own people that any girl would develop a liking for him.

Kurenai Yuhi sighed.

Jingyan remained calm and continued reading.

After reading it, he threw it to Kakashi.

"Although you don't understand medical ninjutsu, you've carried out more missions than we have, so why don't you take a look and have a chat with us?"

"it is good."

Kakashi took it.

After taking a look, he was certain that this thing was definitely not a love confession.

The plan for medical ninjas.

He thought to himself.

The air fell silent again.

After a moment of silence, Kakashi put down his book.

"How is it?"

Kurenai asked nervously.

Kakashi said, "That's a good addition, but it can't be broken down as you suggested, and I can't really explain it in detail either."

"That's right, that's my opinion too."

Jingyan nodded.

Kurenai Yuhi shared her thoughts.

"I was thinking that if we could create a ninja that falls somewhere in between, possessing the advantages of both, perhaps we could allow professional medical ninjas to do more specialized work."

After all, becoming a medical ninja requires a long period of training and learning, and it's not something an ordinary person can do.

"It's the same problem as before."

Jingyan said, "The detailed segmentation is something for later. You're thinking too early. To rashly implement such a measure would undoubtedly be a step backward."

Kakashi thought for a moment, then suddenly realized—

He felt that Hong's plan wasn't quite right, but he couldn't pinpoint exactly what was wrong with it; he just felt it wasn't very good.

After Jingyan said that, he understood.

"Whether or not one is a professional is something that only elite Chunin and above need to consider. At the level of promoting from Genin to Chunin, even a ninja might not be sure which type he is best suited for."

"That is a consideration."

Jingyan nodded.

Then he smiled and said, "The main thing is that it's something that can be balanced. A medical ninja, by mastering a small number of additional abilities, can actually ensure their own safety while also taking care of the team in combat."

"poison?"

Kurenai Yuhi immediately thought of—

The silencer has been studied for its "toxicity".

"Yes, there's also the chakra scalpel I mentioned before. In addition, puppetry is also a direction that can be supplemented in the medical field."

"Puppet Technique? Isn't that something from Sunagakure?"

"I asked in surprise."

Jingyan smiled and said, "We can learn from the good things in other villages and put them to good use. Don't be too rigid. Prosthetic limb modification can also be a form of puppetry."

"You mean, human prosthetic modifications?"

Xiri Hong was surprised.

Then, she suddenly understood.

Yes.

Whether in previous wars or in this brief clash with Iwagakure, many ninjas suffered limb necrosis or amputation due to the inability to receive treatment.

For these ninjas, it is usually recommended that they get prosthetics.

If we can develop a puppet prosthetic limb, even if someone is injured or has had a limb amputated, they can still serve as a ninja after training and practice.

As expected of Kyohiko!

Kurenai Yuhi sighed in disbelief.

She was only thinking about the medical ninja's differentiation, but the other party, based on his experiences and observations during this period, came up with many suggestions that would benefit medical treatment.

It's really amazing!

"Is there anything else?"

Kakashi is even more anxious than Kurenai Yuhi.

He didn't understand medicine, but Jingyan's more advanced ideas made him want to know if this guy had any other novel ideas.

Jingyan shook his head.

"Genjutsu, poison, chakra scalpels, medical puppetry—with so many abilities, aren't they enough to integrate a medical ninja into the team?"

"Oh? That makes sense."

Kakashi scratched his head.

The original intention was to address the awkward role of medical ninjas in team missions, and the four abilities mentioned only require mastering two of them to handle combat.

No matter how much more there is, it's meaningless.

Kurenai took a pen and wrote furiously down what Kyohiko had said.

"Kyohiko-kun, I'll remember your name. I'm leaving now!"

She quickly got up and went back.

I need to organize all of this before I go back and write it into a qualified and complete proposal.

……

Several days after the previous sneak attack.

Onoki increased manpower at the border and even personally oversaw operations to prevent the ninjas at the front from being ambushed and suffering losses.

but.

His waist has been in poor condition ever since he was ambushed by the Rasengan. He can use ordinary ninjutsu without any problems, but he is less effective when using the Heavy Rock and Super Heavy Rock techniques combined with the Rock Fist Technique.

One wrong move and you could strain your back.

Therefore, he sent a small team to the Land of Grass to negotiate.

"Father, your injuries are quite serious; you should continue to rest..."

"Raise? Raise my ass!"

When Onoki mentioned his injury, he became furious.

The Konoha ninjas, disregarding martial ethics, launched a sneak attack, leaving him with a hidden injury to his waist, which has left him vulnerable to attack from all sides.

But the front lines couldn't do without him.

He was angry, but also very sad.

Even though the Third Hokage had retired, he insisted on continuing, simply because his son and the villagers were disappointing.

He sighed, "Huang Tu, you need to learn to use your brain!"

Huang Tu scratched his head and remained silent.

After thinking for a moment, Onoki had an idea and said, "After we go back, I will resign on the grounds of defeat and let you take over as the Fourth Tsuchikage."

Tsuchikage?

I?

Huang Tu stood there, stunned.

Onoki nodded.

"You need to learn how to handle village affairs and share the burden with me. Even Hiruzen Sarutobi of Konoha has stepped down to become an advisor, and I can't stand in the way of the next generation. Among so many young people, you're the only one who's decent enough."

He kept talking.

Previously, Onoki would never have considered stepping down to cultivate loess.

Because in his eyes, loess soil was simply not good enough.

however.

The young people from Konoha who came up were full of vigor and became increasingly different from before.

He was still alive and could fight against Konoha.

What if he dies?

The Third Kazekage is dead, so Konoha might still be able to kill him.

This made Onoki feel a sense of crisis.

He must groom a successor!

In the distance, the Konoha ninja arrived. Onoki raised his hand, signaling to Yotsuchi to swallow back his further excuses, and then quickly took to the air above.

On the other side of the cliff.

Jiraiya watched him from afar.

"Onoki, what do you want to talk about?"

"Cease the war. Although Konoha has resolved the problem with Sunagakure, Kirigakure still poses a significant threat, and Iwagakure has tens of thousands of ninja. If a real war breaks out, both sides will suffer heavy losses."

Onoki flew closer, uttering threatening words.

Kakashi, standing below, looked at Kyohiko and Minato: "Do they really have tens of thousands of ninjas?"

"There should be."

Kyohiko's estimate was inaccurate, but considering that Onoki was able to muster 10,000 men to overwhelm the Third Raikage, the number of Iwagakure ninjas was indeed considerable.

This is also an advantage of Iwagakure.

The ninjutsu is singular, but the mastery is exceptional; it is likely that they possess unique methods in education and training.

"The five great ninja villages originally had tens of thousands of ninjas, but in recent years they have just recovered from the war, so the number has decreased a lot. But Iwagakure is a special case."

Explanation of Minato Namikaze.

His statement was similar to what Jingyan had guessed.

Iwagakure is very strong in teaching Earth Release and Taijutsu, and can quickly train a large number of ninjas, so it only took a few years to recover its strength.

If a full-scale war were to break out, Konoha and Iwagakure would definitely be embroiled in a protracted conflict.

Jiraiya, however, remained unfazed: "Our Konoha is no longer the Konoha of the past. Even if a full-scale war breaks out, it won't be a mutually destructive conflict as you imagine."

"Yeah?"

Onoki snorted coldly, "You guys ganged up on me three or four times before and still couldn't defeat me. And I was holding back quite a bit before. If we really went all out..."

He said, forming a seal with his hands.

Immediately—

A ball of light was thrown out.

boom!

Within a certain area, explosions occurred continuously on the ground, and the area expanded over time.

The technique of boundary stripping.

"I can expand the range of this technique, but how will you deal with my ability to fly? You must understand, my techniques aren't just for myself."

Onoki sneered at this point, "We come every day, and you can't stop us, can you?"

"You can give it a try."

Jiraiya glanced at Kyohiko.

In the past, they really didn't have a good solution, but this time, Jingyan's skills came in handy.

"Oh?"

Onoki frowned.

As expected, Konoha has a way to deal with flight!

He nodded.

"Alright! If you can defeat us this time, I will, on behalf of Iwagakure, compensate you for your losses!"

"Okay, we don't need many people, just four."

Jiraiya pointed to himself, along with Minato, Kyohiko, and Kakashi.

As he spoke, he flew down and used the Super Light Heavy Rock Technique to make Huang Tu and several blasting squad ninjas also take to the air.

In the blink of an eye.

Seven people were lifted into the air.

This team is indeed very difficult to deal with.

however--

Below, jets of water flew upwards.

water?

Onoki wanted to laugh.

Trying to take them down with water magic is a bit too much...

The next second, he couldn't laugh anymore.

Jingyan's water columns gather together and can fly very high, which they cannot avoid even when they fly high in the sky.

and.

Once within range, three people quickly dodged, but—

Snapped!

The water jet, like a whip, bent and slapped, quickly sticking to the three of them and dragging them down.

This is not an ordinary water column, but some kind of viscous liquid!

Onoki was startled.

"Absolutely cannot win!"

"clear!"

Everyone used ninjutsu to defend themselves, but Kyohiko's water-style jutsu didn't consume much chakra, while theirs consumed a significant amount, and...

Ohnoki understood.

Mastering this kind of water jutsu isn't actually that difficult, especially considering that it only took Konoha a few days to fight him.

Within just a few days, the other party had mastered the method of restraint.

After a period of stalemate, Konoha will eventually be able to completely break through.

His heart sank.

When flight is no longer invincible, the battle between Iwagakure and Konoha will truly be a bayonet fight!

Actually...

The next moment, Jiraiya and Kakashi began to imitate him.

Although they couldn't fire anti-aircraft guns like Kyohiko, the three people who were dragged down by the slime were directly stuck and pulled back by the two of them using their magic.

The explosive bombs were blocked by the others using ninjutsu.

In the sky, Kyohiko's technique underwent a new change.

Previously it was about flicking and sticking, but this time...

The slime spread out into a large patch, like raindrops, only larger than normal raindrops. Some of them looked very strange, as if they contained something.

raindrop?

thing?

not good!

Onoki immediately realized something was wrong: "Avoid those things!"

Huang Tu was anxious and immediately transformed into an earth dragon, which rushed from the air to the surrounding liquids.

Earth Release: Earth Stone Dragon!

no way.

He doesn't know Dust Release, so the only ninjutsu he can use to brush those things away from the droplets in mid-air without touching them is this kind of ninjutsu.

The Explosion Release squad members then launched clay flying insects.

They don't make large birds, but small flying insects are no problem for them.

boom!

Explosions rang out in the air.

However, the next second, a figure appeared.

Flying Thunder God!

Bang!

Minato appeared from above, stepped on one of the people, and used the Flying Thunder God Technique to send him away.

He was completely fearless, moving through the air like a phantom, while the wooden signs were obscured by water and difficult to observe or identify.

To break this, Onoki would have to use Dust Release to destroy them all at once.

He lowered his altitude and used Dust Escape to fling himself down below.

Break through those three first!

but--

In the blink of an eye, the remaining two members of the demolition team were seized by Minato Namikaze and teleported directly into the crowd of Konoha people.

After a burst of light, both sides stopped.

Jingyan had already avoided it.

The slime stopped flying around in the air, but Onoki's side was now two people short, with only Hirotsuchi and Onoki remaining.

Both sides were stunned.

On the Konoha side, it was unexpected that the Light and Heavy Rock Technique of Iwagakure could be used on other people. Combined with Explosion Release, Earth Release and other ninjutsu, it would indeed cause them considerable damage.

On the other hand, Iwagakure was surprised that Konoha had come up with such a troublesome solution in just a few days.

"Tsuchikage, how's it going?"

Jiraiya chuckled.

"Let's stop here with a draw; there's no need to continue!"

Onoki descended to the bottom, his attitude self-evident.

He doesn't want to fight anymore!

Konoha's progress surprised him.

A special Water Release technique combined with Flying Thunder God...

This combination was indeed difficult for Onoki to handle, especially since Minato only sent shadow clones, so he wasn't afraid of being worn down.

In the end, Iwagakure suffered even greater losses.

"A draw?"

Jiraiya chuckled.

Aside from a war of attrition, they really didn't have many good options against Onoki, and it was difficult to prevent him from bombarding Konoha ninjas. But Huangtu could still manage to take him down.

The loess soil was deeply depressed.

He felt like he had no strength left to use.

Aerial combat is not his area of ​​expertise at all.

Onoki sighed: "Iwagakure will bear the losses of Konoha, and we will also provide corresponding compensation to Kusagakure."
