Konoha: Tsunade, I am the Hokage

Chapter 151 Hyuga, let's go rescue the Kaguya clan!

"How is it?"

"The surgery was successful, and both of them are safe. Even if there is a rejection reaction due to incompatibility, it doesn't matter. As long as the transplant is done as soon as possible, it will not affect their safety."

This is also an advantage of medical ninjutsu.

Jingyan thought.

"Thank you, thank you!"

Moonlight Warrior bowed repeatedly in thanks.

As the head of the Moonlight Clan, he is quite strong, at least a Jonin.

however.

Such a status could not help his child recover and become a true ninja.

Now that my long-cherished wish has been fulfilled, how can I not be happy?

However, the price was that his wife could no longer serve as a ninja.

The wife, who is missing part of a lung, will no longer be able to undertake the high-intensity work of a ninja.

of course.

If his wife is not a match, Takesaku Gekko will not hesitate to immediately offer his part.

but.

Looking at the child before him, he couldn't help but feel shocked and amazed.

Who would have thought that such a plan would come from a boy who was not a specialist in medical ninjutsu, and that his medical ninjutsu and abilities were all approved by Tsunade.

Such talent is truly amazing!

Gekko Takesaku thanked Tsunade again, then hurriedly caught up and whispered, "Kyohiko, do you need more manpower for your Anbu today? If so, the Gekko clan can spare some more."

"Not for now, but the Ninja Academy is still short of a swordsmanship instructor. I wonder if the Gekko family could take on the role and give the students some guidance."

Jingyan then added that it was not necessary for the Moonlight Clan to contribute their family secrets and unique skills; simply instructing the students would suffice.

"Of course, serving the village is our duty!"

Takeshi Gekko secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Their clan has no shortage of swordsmen, and many of the aging Jonin who are no longer what they used to be still possess unique skills.

If that's all there is to it, it's acceptable, and it might even be a good thing for their family.

"It's a pleasure working with you."

Jingyan nodded with a smile.

Afterwards, he said goodbye to Takeshi Gekko.

He helped Hayate Gekko for two reasons: firstly, he valued Hayate's Transparent Release ability, and secondly, he valued Shusaku Gekko and hoped that he would be more loyal to him and Tsunade.

Jingyan understood perfectly.

Even if someone has made great contributions, he may not be respected by everyone because of his young age, especially by high-ranking ninjas and special high-ranking ninjas. Therefore, he needs to combine kindness with strictness.

……

In the afternoon, as evening approached, Asuma, Ebisu, and Might Guy followed behind Maruboshi Kosuke as they entered from outside.

Their team has been reorganized many times and is no longer the same as it was originally, but what remains unchanged is—

They are still performing tasks below level C.

Even though the team already has an extra Chunin.

"Teacher, when will we be able to carry out missions of level B or higher?"

"Haha, those above Rank B have to fight ninjas, which is no easy feat. Someone like you would need at least a year of Rank C missions to qualify."

Maruhoshi Kosuke laughed.

Upon hearing this, Asuma immediately felt somewhat disheartened.

One year.

I heard that Yoshihiko Ryōmine's team can carry out C-level missions in one or two months, and then they skipped B-level missions and formed a dedicated A-level mission team.

The difference is too big, isn't it?

After two or three years of honing his skills, Matt Kai had matured considerably, and he chuckled.

"Asuma, a Rank B mission is very difficult. It's not impossible for us to complete it with our abilities, but the risks are huge, and most importantly..."

"What?"

"We've just been through a war, so there's less conflict in different areas. Where are we going to find so many missions of rank B or higher?"

Matt Kai answered naturally.

Asma was speechless.

Back in the Ninja Academy, Might Guy's grades outside of taijutsu weren't outstanding, but now...

The opponent has grown rapidly.

He couldn't help but regret it.

If I had graduated earlier, could I have been like Matt Kay?

Asuma thought to himself.

Ebisu remained silent the entire way, but upon arriving in Konoha, he whispered, "Asuma, don't be discouraged."

"Was my expression that obvious?"

Asuma glanced guiltily at Maruboshi Kosuke and Kai ahead.

Fortunately.

Neither of them turned around.

Ebisu chuckled. Wasn't that obvious enough?

"Guy was once in a team with Kyohiko, and was taught and guided by two Jonin, Kyohiko and Minato, and trained with Kakashi. It's normal that he improved quickly."

"They're from the elite class!"

Ebisu sighed.

but.

Afterwards, Ebisu couldn't help but say, "Actually, the Third Hokage is your father. You can ask him for advice. He is a professor of ninjutsu, and very few people can surpass the Third Hokage in his research on ninjutsu."

"You can become an excellent ninja without his instruction!"

Asuma instantly turned cold and then quickly walked forward.

Ebisu slapped his forehead.

Yes.

This kid hates it most when people mention his ancestors from three generations ago!

He was about to chase after him when Asuma had already said goodbye to Maruboshi Kosuke and quietly left.

Ebisu secretly regretted it.

……

Asuma was angry, but not at Ebisu; he was angry at himself.

"If I were more talented, if I were more skilled..."

"If I were you, I would apologize to Ebisu."

A voice suddenly rang out.

Asma was stunned.

Then, he suddenly looked to his right.

On the rooftop, Kyohiko leaped down, not wearing the uniform of the Anbu, but in ordinary clothes.

"What are you doing here?"

Asma shrugged off at the beginning.

Kyohiko chuckled, "There's not really much of a conflict between us. It's mostly about Kurenai, but you probably can't interfere with who Kurenai chooses to be friends with, right?"

Asma was silent for a moment, then nodded: "Yes, but I also have the right not to be your friend."

"Very well, I'm not here to make friends with you. Shinnosuke-senpai entrusted me to guide you. If you want to become stronger and impress the Third Hokage, then come with me."

After Jingyan finished speaking, he walked out of the village.

Asma's expression shifted between light and dark.

To be honest, he didn't dislike Jingyan, but rather saw him as a rival and a goal to surpass.

Hiruzen Sarutobi is different.

He truly loathed it!

In just a second, Sarutobi Asuma made his decision.

Follow them!

A moment later, Asuma followed him all the way to Kyohiko's house.

"Is this the place you were talking about?"

"That's right."

Jingyan nodded.

In the corner, a frame with more than twenty sandbags tied to it has been idle for a long time.

Since his reaction speed and attack speed improved, these tools have become useless.

but.

Like Asma, it's just right.

After bringing it out, Kyohiko gave a demonstration.

He even wore a blindfold.

A dozen sandbags flew around, but Jingyan's figure moved like a bird, shuttling back and forth among the sandbags while punching them away.

Asma was stunned.

Can you do this while blindfolded?

It's simply art!

"Do you understand?"

"Simple!"

Asma remained defiant.

A second later, he was hit by the sandbag and staggered.

Two seconds later, he was lying on the ground.

"In combat, nothing is invincible except speed. I suggest you start by practicing on three or four sandbags, and gradually increase the number as you become more proficient. After that, train your hearing by blindfolding yourself."

Jingyan dusted himself off. "Practice slowly. I'm going to read a book for a while."

Asma understood why his brother had asked Kyohiko to teach him.

because……

Jingyan's talent and abilities did not suddenly emerge, but rather he gradually developed them through his own hard work and practice.

No one understands speed and reaction training better than Kyohiko.

It seems that Shinnosuke also paid a considerable price.

Even if it is for the sake of her brother who has made many sacrifices, she cannot be discouraged or give up.

Asuma took a deep breath and stepped forward again.

Let's fight!

He didn't believe he could lose to the sandbag.

All afternoon, the sound of sandbags thumping could be heard from below.

of course.

Asma usually gets beaten up.

This training is just the most basic. Later, you will be blindfolded to train your hearing. After that, you will be trained to hear other people's ninja tool attacks.

Asma is still a long way off!

……

Young Asma had many ideas, but he was helpless when faced with the sandbag.

For several days in a row.

At first, Kyohiko was just at home giving instructions and watching over him, but later Asuma became very self-disciplined and would come over every morning before Kyohiko even got out of bed.

Then the sound below was filled with "thump thump".

Jingyan is researching advanced methods for "smoke transformation".

He already had some information about the Ibri clan, as well as the training method for their family's ninjutsu that they had offered.

of course.

It's very rudimentary; it's basically all developed based on existing capabilities, and no one has solved the core flaws.

but.

Their bloodline limit allows them to control others through smoke.

My own technique is a secret art, quite different from theirs, but essentially similar.

Jingyan was pondering whether similar results could be achieved through research and improvement; he couldn't say there were no breakthroughs.

He can use smoke to remotely inscribe the Flying Thunder God pattern.

Second is...

A cloud of smoke floated in front of Jingyan. He exerted force in his palm, and a strong wind howled out.

Beast Wave Palm!

but.

The clouds moved but did not disperse.

This is the effect of combining Sage Mode chakra.

Even a tiny amount of Sage Chakra, when released evenly within the smoke, can create a cloud-like effect, remaining condensed and undispersed.

"If we're talking about pure ninjutsu, the best way is to use Sage Mode."

Jingyan pondered.

Is it possible for the Ibri clan to master magic?

He quickly rejected it himself.

Smoke is different from plants.

It is difficult for it to integrate directly into nature. Even if it does integrate into nature, the Ibri clan is more likely to suffer physical disintegration due to the impact of natural energy.

In recent years, many of their deaths have been caused by uncontrolled energy within their bodies.

Immortal arts are clearly unsuitable.

Then we'll have to continue down the second path.

Strengthen the core.

Kyohiko once again used his chakra to condense a cloud of smoke. The difference was that this time the chakra in the smoke was highly condensed, forming a gray, highly condensed cloud in the middle.

Once condensed, it looks like a ball formed from grains of gray dust.

but.

call out!

The smoke drifted out the window, swept up by the wind blowing through it, and quickly thinned to half its original size.

Not long after that.

It dissipated, leaving only the core.

"It's still not right."

"Perhaps it requires a long period of refinement and accumulation?"

Jingyan seemed to be deep in thought.

If the Ibri clan only needs to maintain a stable state, then spending a long time expending chakra within their bodies to condense a chakra core would be sufficient.

"You can give it a try."

……

A week passed quickly.

This week, Kyohiko was busy with Asuma and the Anbu, but with Sarutobi Shinnosuke's help, he wasn't too tired.

Significant breakthroughs have been made in the research of acupoints.

Now, his shadow clones and Orochimaru, together with Hizashi, have found several more acupoints outside the Eight Gates, which can strengthen muscles and increase strength.

It can also be used to treat muscle strains.

even.

Some previously undiscovered acupoints have also been developed to have special effects, but some of these acupoints can only be used by the Hyuga clan.

The daily change was naturally a cause for great joy.

however.

While he was happy, he couldn't help but feel a little worried and concerned.

He still doesn't know how to deal with the pie in the sky that Hiashi made, and he's not even sure if Hiashi did it on purpose to make him work hard.

He found it difficult to place more trust in his elder brother.

Hijiki sighed inwardly.

"Hizashi, you seem to have something on your mind lately."

Orochimaru's voice was deep, "If it's a family matter, why not take a few days off? Anyway, the research has already yielded some results, so it won't make a difference if we wait a little longer."

Jingyan nodded in agreement.

They have already submitted a report on their recent findings, and the next round of testing and application should be underway soon.

because……

[With your participation and guidance, a more complete acupoint chart was developed, which has made a significant contribution to the medical and ninja industries.]

Your reputation has grown even stronger, and the villagers love you even more!

[Reward: Enhanced Acupressure and Yin Healing/Injury Reduction]

Two improvements.

Jingyan glanced at it, quite satisfied.

The research we did during this time was not wasted.

Hizashi shook his head: "It's some personal business, but it's not very important."

"Let's rest for today. We also need news from the village."

"Alright."

Hizashi nodded, accepting the suggestion to "rest." After thinking for a moment, he decided to return to the Hyuga clan to see what to do.

Orochimaru narrowed his eyes.

"Kyohiko, can you guess what's troubling him?"

"Perhaps it's something that happens within the Hyuga clan."

Kyohiko replied.

From what he knew, the conflict between the Hyuga main family and the branch family was far greater than he had known in his previous life.

The ability of the special day is not weak, and it is also a twin brother of the day foot.

This identity makes Hizashi's attitude and status very complex.

If things had continued to develop this way, Hiashi's later decision to have Hizashi die in his place might not have been a genuine desire to sacrifice himself for the village; it could have been a choice to kill two birds with one stone.

There will naturally be grievances when families separate.

However, with a knife hanging over everyone's head, who would dare to oppose the main family?

Hinata.

"It's difficult for outsiders like us to interfere in these kinds of matters."

"Yes, but..."

Orochimaru snorted coldly, "I hate families that never change. They're like stagnant water, seemingly indestructible, but once exposed to the scorching sun, all that awaits them is—"

"Dry!"

Orochimaru looked up at the sky.

Kyohiko said with a smile, "Hiashi probably wants to make changes, but he's conflicted because he's afraid that changes will affect the direction of the Hyuga clan."

As he thought of this, a sudden inspiration struck him.

"By the way, is their clan on good terms with the Kaguya clan of the Land of Water?"

"Yes, it is said that the two tribes once shared an ancestor."

Orochimaru nodded.

Kyohiko said, "According to intelligence, the Kaguya clan's situation in the Land of Water isn't good. Could we try to rescue them from the Land of Water through the Hyuga clan?"

"Furthermore, I am very curious whether the union of the Hyuga and Kaguya clans could lead to a return to their ancestral origins and the birth of an individual close to their ancestors."

Jingyan spoke of the thoughts that had been on his mind.

Orochimaru was slightly taken aback.

He then pondered for a few seconds before saying, "The Kaguya clan's bloodline limit is Shikotsumyaku..."

"The Corpse Bone Pulse can be seen as a kind of bloodline limit in the body. It does not conflict with the Byakugan, and may even be able to counterbalance each other."

"Kyohiko said."

Orochimaru recalled some of his past research, and a glint of light flashed in his eyes.

"That's quite possible!"
