Konoha: Tsunade, I am the Hokage

Chapter 136 Tsunade: I understand Grandpa a little better now!

"The acupoints published at the proficient level should all be usable, but the effects will vary slightly."

Similar to the Hyuga clan's "pressure point techniques," these pressure point techniques are mostly used to seal chakra, but the locations and sealing times vary.

Jingyan used shadow clones to experiment, summarize, and finally draw conclusions.

The more chakra gathers at the chakra meridian nodes, the shorter the sealing time.

This is also an advantage for the Hyuga clan.

Through training, the Byakugan can see more subtle chakra points, and by sealing multiple locations, it can block chakra for a longer period of time.

even.

Some acupoints can also release the body's potential through chakra stimulation.

Just like the Eight Gates Formation.

only--

Currently, at the "proficient" level, only one acupoint has this effect.

The Tanzhong acupoint!

It is located at the center of the chest, where chakra meridians are highly concentrated. Stimulating this point with chakra can cause chakra to explode instantly.

The aftereffects are...

It will consume more energy, and you will feel weak for a period of time after using it.

"If there's one, there must be more, I just don't know yet. Indeed, studying acupoints is useful, and there are many more uses waiting to be discovered, but the Hyuga clan..."

Jingyan rubbed his temples.

The Hyuga clan, a powerful family with a history spanning hundreds of years, may not be very capable, but it certainly has many flaws. Although some progress has been made, another collaboration may not be successful.

He put away the book, created a wooden clone, and his original body vanished from the spot in an instant.

Flying Thunder God Technique.

Although he is not yet proficient and needs further study and practice, he can already use it without any problems.

……

Konoha, Hokage's office.

Tsunade was reviewing documents when she suddenly sensed a fluctuation of chakra, followed by Kyohiko's presence outside.

She paused for a second, then her eyes widened slightly.

This is not a teleportation technique.

Only the Flying Thunder God Technique can achieve the effect of appearing instantly.

Has Jingyan mastered it?

She stood up in surprise, and the next moment, she saw Jingyan open the door and come in.

"sister……"

"You brat! You already mastered the Flying Thunder God Technique?"

"Yes, after all, we've been researching this for a long time, so it shouldn't be too surprising to see some results, right? But it's not very useful in actual combat, so I'm still figuring out how to optimize it."

Jingyan explained.

Tsunade was speechless for a moment.

This kid...

Still not satisfied?

"Back then, in order to master this technique, Minato learned all the sealing techniques and most of the barrier techniques. He summarized his experience and ideas before starting his own technique."

Tsunade rolled her eyes at him.

This is a classic case of someone who benefits but then complains!

but.

She was still very happy to know that Kyohiko had mastered the Flying Thunder God Technique.

With Kyohiko's abilities, he would be even less likely to die after mastering the Flying Thunder God Technique. She didn't need to worry that he would die like the two people she cared about before...

Tsunade sighed inwardly as she thought about this.

Immediately, she raised her beautiful eyes.

"When did you leave your incantation at my doorstep?"

"When I picked up the book earlier."

Jingyan smiled.

He came over and inquired about the progress at the Hyuga clan's place—

of course.

Jingyan didn't mention that he had already learned through the system that the Hyuga family had agreed to cooperate with the hospital.

Tsunade gave a brief explanation of the situation.

He immediately understood.

Large families are still complicated!

The cooperation with the medical ninjas was inherently advantageous to them, so they accepted it without any hesitation.

but.

The collaboration on acupressure points has clearly crossed the line for the old-fashioned people.

Jingyan frowned: "A large family that has been passed down for hundreds of years has so many rules..."

"Yes, there's nothing we can do about it."

Tsunade said, "Actually, I was quite surprised that the stubborn old man from the Hyuga clan agreed to send a group of people as medical ninjas, even though it was limited to the village hospital."

"This is beneficial and harmless to them, so there's no reason for them to refuse."

Kyohiko replied.

Tsunade nodded: "That's true, but they are the Hyuga clan. They haven't explicitly refused yet, and they're still talking, which means there's still room for negotiation."

The Hyuga clan, which had remained unchanged for hundreds of years, successfully found a breakthrough thanks to Kyohiko's few words and the skill of two techniques.

This in itself is a miracle.

Jingyan understood the reasoning, but he felt it was still too slow. Could they add something more, like…?

"Sis, I've recently studied a few more acupoints. I was wondering if we could apply a little more pressure?"

"Wouldn't this be going too far?"

Tsunade was somewhat worried.

Kyohiko said, "I explained to Hiashi before that the human body is full of mysteries and that the uses of many acupoints are not necessarily all about sealing chakra. He probably didn't take it to heart, but now I've found an acupoint that can prove this point."

"You found it?"

Tsunade was somewhat surprised.

Jingyan nodded: "This location is an acupoint connecting the heart and lungs. Stimulating it with chakra can accelerate chakra extraction and release."

Tsunade's expression was serious: "Being so close to the heart and lungs area, you absolutely mustn't do anything reckless in the future!"

"Yes, I know."

Although shadow clones can simulate pressure points, making them undetectable even by the Byakugan, they still differ from the original body in several ways—

It is itself a chakra aggregate, so it cannot simulate the effect of the "Shanzhong acupoint".

Tsunade gave him some advice, but then pondered the effects of the acupoints that Kyohiko had mentioned.

Chakra points were actually studied by medical ninjas, but they found that the location of the points was not exactly the same for everyone, and the effects of the points were also relatively average, so they were eventually abandoned.

but.

If, as Kyohiko said, one can use chakra to stimulate the physical body through acupressure, it might be able to save one's life or even turn the tide of battle at a crucial moment.

Tsunade gritted her teeth and gave it a try.

Immediately—

She felt her heart and lungs working simultaneously, her chakra exploding in an instant, and at the same time, she felt her body become stronger.

This increase is temporary, just like the Eight Gates Formation.

This is a method of explosive action.

but.

Since it involves the heart and lungs, its side effects are also quite obvious.

Tsunade's expression turned serious: "Prolonged use of this technique could overload the heart and lungs, leading to cardiovascular and pulmonary ailments. If I don't want to get sick... no, I have to add it to the Book of Seals!"

At that moment, Tsunade suddenly felt a connection with her grandfather.

When Grandpa stopped Second Grandpa back then, he must have had similar thoughts—

These things are far too dangerous!

Tsunade was helpless.

Jingyan couldn't help but laugh and asked, "Sis, what were you thinking about just now?"

"What are you thinking about? I want you to die sooner!"

Tsunade gave him a beautiful, elegant glance, then truthfully told him what she had just been thinking.

Jingyan, however, had a different opinion.

"If the First Lord really thought those techniques were worthless, he should have simply forbidden them from being passed down. Instead, he created the Book of Seals, which may have brought disaster to future generations."

"That's for sure..."

Tsunade sighed.

These forbidden techniques are the crystallization of wisdom and blood and tears, and also the foundation of a village.

You can, but not without.

"No wonder you want to cooperate with the Hyuga clan. As you said, the human body has endless potential to be explored beyond the Eight Gates."

"Tsunade said."

Jingyan smiled and said, "I actually have another idea, which is to breathe in a lot of air to stimulate the body's activity and allow myself to reach a level of strength that surpasses the Lightning Release state."

"Write it yourself into the Book of Seals!"

Tsunade remained expressionless.

No sooner had he finished speaking than another forbidden technique was unleashed.

"You're really something!"

"That's right."

Jingyan chuckled.

The idea was plagiarized by Violet, who originally called it "Seven-Day Breathing Technique," but he had no psychological burden about it.

"Alright, I don't want you to always take risks with yourself, it's not good."

"Tsunade said softly."

Jingyan nodded.

"If I wanted to try the Seven-Day Breathing Technique, I would have already developed it. The reason it's still just a hypothetical concept is that I don't think it's worth it for me."

Jingyan explained.

Tsunade nodded and said nothing more.

A few seconds later, she said, "It's not convenient for me to handle this for you; you'll have to talk to them yourself. But do you know Jiraiya's Lion's Mane Technique? If you do, using that technique might be more effective."

"The technique of messing up a lion's mane is not difficult."

Jingyan can.

but.

Limited to proficiency

His proficiency stemmed from a solid foundation, not from a deep understanding of the technique itself.

However, the exercise was effective enough.

……

The place where the Hyuga clan holds meetings.

Despite Ren Rizu's spittle flying everywhere, the family elders only said one thing.

Clan rules must not be abolished.

Clan rules, clan rules!

All you know is the clan rules!

Hiashi Hyuga was angry, but he also understood that the Hyuga family's survival to this day was largely due to certain clan rules.

such as--

The art of the caged bird.

of course.

This time, not everyone is against it. Apart from the daily officials, some elders are inclined to agree, but they are unwilling to speak out because the situation is unclear.

but.

After much deliberation, Rizuki's eyes lit up, and he had an idea in mind.

No matter how you look at it, the benefits aren't immediately apparent.

Hearing and seeing are two different things.

Hiashi had a plan in mind, and he walked quickly outside, but after a few steps, he turned and went in another direction.

A moment later.

"Hizashi."

"Master of the house."

The Japanese official immediately rose and showed utmost respect.

Hiashi laughed and said, "Just call me elder brother."

"Brother."

The daily change was as it should be.

Ri Zu nodded slightly.

"Hisashi, I need your help with something. I need you to contact Yoshimine Kyohiko and ask him to fulfill some of his promises ahead of schedule so I can proceed with the next collaboration."

"yes!"

Hizashi nodded, preparing to go to the Dark Division.

Japanese athlete Jazz suddenly paused slightly, then raised his hand: "Wait!"

"What's wrong?"

Hizashi turned around, a hint of doubt in his eyes.

The Japanese team suddenly opened their eyes.

Immediately, a smile appeared on his face.

"He's here! Go and greet him, bring Jingyan over here, and remember to be respectful."

"Yes."

Kyohiko saved his partner's life, how could Hizashi not respect him?

Upon seeing his savior being stopped, Hijiri quickly stepped forward.

"etc!"

"Hizashi-sama."

"He is the master's guest, and the master asked me to take him there."

Afterwards, Hizashi quickly apologized.

Jingyan is naturally fine.

The Hyuga clan, being a large and prestigious family, naturally has a lot of rules and regulations, which is normal.

We'll correct them sooner or later!

He pondered this in his heart, but on the surface he remained very kind.

"Hizashi-senpai, I didn't expect you to come and greet me in person. But I remember you had a mission, right? Didn't you go out to carry it out today?"

"I was originally going to go, but I had to cancel because of a family meeting."

Hijiri smiled helplessly.

He took Jingyan there, briefly explaining the situation in a low voice on the way, and finally revealing his purpose.

"so……"

"Don't worry, I hit it off with Hiashi-senpai immediately. How could I possibly put him in a difficult position? Besides, I have some great news."

Jingyan smiled and quickened his pace.

Hizashi was curious but didn't ask any questions. Instead, he led him all the way to Hizashi's location.

His older brother...

Hijiki sighed inwardly and quickly entered the courtyard.

"Master, Kyohiko has brought him."

"Um."

Rizu nodded, a hint of satisfaction flashing in his eyes.

Then, he looked at Kyohiko.

"Kyohiko, congratulations on your promotion to captain of the Dark Force."

Hijikata laughed heartily.

Jingyan said, "Agent? For now, we're still just an agent!"

Ri Zu smiled without saying a word.

acting?

Ha, the Hyuga clan has people in the Anbu, how could he not know the current situation of the Anbu?

Kyohiko, through the power of Gekko Hayate, has completely subdued Gekko Shusaku and the Gekko clan's ninjas. The remaining three squads have a significant number of members from the Ino-Shika-Cho trio—

Those three families also have a good relationship with Kyohiko.

As for the two advisors...

Without Hiruzen Sarutobi, those two wouldn't have much say.

Japanese soldiers know the truth perfectly well.

He didn't immediately mention the matter of "repayment," but invited Jingyan to sit down, had a maid bring tea, and chatted with Jingyan with a smile, talking about his recent troubles.

Jingyan was too lazy to play mind games.

Japanese football fans like this approach, but he doesn't.

"Senior Hiashi, I have two pieces of good news to share with you."

"two?"

Hijikata was secretly surprised.

What other good news is there?

He pondered silently, then smiled and said, "The first thing must be Jiraiya-sama's technique?"

"That's right, the second good thing is that I've made another breakthrough in acupressure techniques."

Jingyan smiled.

Hiashi's fingers trembled slightly, but his expression remained calm. He simply smiled and said, "For the Hyuga clan, this might not necessarily be a good thing, right?"

"Good news. I've discovered an acupoint that can be used to stimulate the body's potential and unleash chakra. Of course, it's a forbidden technique now, so I can't demonstrate it for you."

Jingyan sighed regretfully, paused for a few seconds, and said, "However, my guess was right. The human body has infinite potential, and the functions of acupoints are also infinitely useful. They may not only be used to seal chakra."

"really?"

Rizu suddenly stood up, finally unable to maintain his composure.

The Japanese official standing next to him was even more shocked.

"Kyohiko-kun, is this...is this real?"

"Of course, I wouldn't lie to you."

Jingyan nodded.

The brothers, Hizashi and Hiashi, exchanged glances, having already made up their minds. They invited Kyohiko to sit down again so the three of them could discuss it properly.

"We will hold another meeting to advise against this cooperation..."

"Hiashi-senpai, Hizashi-senpai, I've discovered something new, and the value of our collaboration can no longer be calculated based on the initial figures."

Jingyan smiled.

Hijiri nodded slightly, unsurprised. "Of course. What benefits do you want?"

"Actually, it's nothing. If I discover the function of certain acupoints with the Hyuga clan, I need to make it public to a certain extent so that it can be popularized among more ninjas in the village."

Jingyan's expression was serious.

Hiashi thought for a moment and said, "Okay, after all, you provided the initial idea, but I hope you can share a copy of the forbidden technique you just mentioned with us."

It's a deal.
