Konoha: Tsunade, I am the Hokage

Chapter 65 Could it be that he's a medical genius? [Second update, 5k words]

"Kid, you got here fast. Too bad this is a drinking party, there's no room for you. Go to the front desk and order some dessert."

Tsunade spoke in a tone as if she were taking care of a child.

Kyohiko said, "Kushina-senpai asked me to find you two, saying she's inviting everyone to her place for dinner."

"puff!"

Jiraiya immediately spat out the sake he had just drunk.

Fortunately, he turned to the side and didn't spray Kyohiko or Tsunade.

He wiped his mouth awkwardly. "I don't think Minato has come back yet?"

"No, what's wrong? Have you been in contact?"

Tsunade was puzzled.

Jiraiya's expression was solemn.

"Kushina's food...it's hellish!"

"Don't worry, Hong is helping out."

"Oh, never mind then. Forget what I just said, whatever you do, don't tell Kushina! Come on, let's grab some drinks and eat somewhere else."

Jiraiya packed his things with remarkable decisiveness.

Kurenai's cooking skills...

While not perfect, Jiraiya considered her more trustworthy than Kushina.

Not long after, the three arrived outside Shuimen's house.

Sake and snacks were laid out in the courtyard. Jiraiya and Tsunade sat facing each other, while Kyohiko ate the meat rolls he had brought back.

Jiraiya said, "Tsunade, you're really planning to compete for Hokage, aren't you?"

Tsunade paused in her action of holding the wine glass.

Then, she nodded gently.

"Yes, I must fight for it! Our village needs more changes before the next war, but the old man is getting old and he's too cautious in his actions, which makes me feel constrained."

"Perfect timing! I gave that old man a piece of my mind today. Let's team up, I'll definitely support you."

"ha?"

Tsunade and Kyohiko both showed surprised expressions.

Jiraiya calmly recounted the process.

Jingyan quickly took a sip of water to hide his shocked expression.

Is it that fierce?

I originally thought the teacher was going to the office to get scolded, but it turns out the teacher went to have a heated argument with a third-generation hoodlum.

Hey!

It would be a huge loss not to see such a spectacular show in person!

Tsunade was stunned for a long time, glanced at Kyohiko, thought for a moment and commented: "Danzo, you are right. The old man has been too lenient with Danzo. That guy is too radical."

"Hey!"

Jiraiya sneered, picked up his wine cup, and drank it down.

Kyohiko looked at Tsunade: "Tsunade-neechan, in the battle for Hokage, any weakness can be fatal, and your hemophobia..."

Jiraiya was about to drink, but upon hearing the address, he immediately froze, his hands moving as if adrift.

Did you hear me wrong?

Tsunade... Sister?!

His expression froze, as if his face had cracked open.

Tsunade, however, remained calm.

"It's alright, much better than before. I believe we'll be able to overcome it soon."

She took a sip of her drink to suppress her emotions.

Immediately, Tsunade smiled and said, "By the way, there's something I need to thank you for. I've made some progress in psychology and have been working on advancing psychological medicine recently. If there's any progress, you'll definitely have a part in it."

Have you achieved any results?

So fast?

Jingyan was surprised, and then asked for details.

Tsunade talked about her paper and findings, but she was vague about what specific drug she had discovered. It is highly likely that it involves taboos and cannot be disclosed, otherwise Kyohiko would have received feedback long ago.

but.

So, is it possible that psychological counseling has already been put on the agenda?

Medicine is Tsunade's foundation.

This is indeed a good direction.

Jingyan immediately offered his opinion.

"I think you should strike while the iron is hot, first win over the hearts and minds of the people, and then promote the progress of the psychology department from the bottom up."

"From bottom to top?"

Tsunade immediately put down her wine glass.

She thought for a moment and vaguely understood what Jingyan meant.

In the Ninja Wars, Jonin played a crucial role, but in reality, the mainstay was always Chunin, especially elite Chunin.

"When planting trees, if you want to provide them with nutrients, you usually fertilize the soil first, rather than pouring fertilizer directly onto the tree, right?"

"Kyohiko said."

Jiraiya wasn't too surprised.

Jingyan may look young, but he has a unique perspective on things.

Many ninjas may never develop such a mindset until their death, but Kyohiko, at only eight years old, already possesses mature thinking. This child is a born Hokage.

and so.

What reason is there not to support a child like this?

I will certainly do my best to guide my disciple, but my approach will be different from yours, old man!

I will let him bring out all his talents!

A sense of pride welled up in Jiraiya's heart.

He was certain.

Hiruzen Sarutobi is definitely wrong!

Tsunade was considering a solution. After a moment, she said, "You mean, I should endure this... No! The child, the child is the key to the next generation!"

Her eyes are bright.

In peacetime, only a small percentage of the children in the ninja academy may become ninjas, but in times of war and turmoil, most of them are qualified and capable of becoming ninjas.

In a few years, the children of today's ninja academy will become the backbone of the ninja community.

Furthermore, many of their parents were Chunin or even Jonin, members of ninja families, forming a vast network.

They understand the reasoning.

However, those in power often forget about these children who are still in ninja academies.

Tsunade is a case in point.

After being reminded, she immediately pressed down on Kyohiko's shoulder.

"Good brother, I'll remember your contribution. If there ever is a psychology department, I'll hang your picture at the entrance for everyone to admire!"

"No, I'll be satisfied as long as I get started."

Jingyan quickly refused.

Hanging at the door...

I'm not a member of that group.

Tsunade laughed heartily, then picked up her cup to hold it up: "Hanging it by the door is too much trouble. When I become Hokage, I'll invite you to my office to be my right-hand man!"

"But before that, you have to help me out one more time."

Tsunade grasped Kyohiko's hand. "You have to help me come up with a complete plan, otherwise those old guys definitely won't agree!"

……

With Kushina's help, Kushina's meals were quite edible, and some of the dishes she participated in less of were even quite delicious.

Tsunade and Jiraiya's praise made Kurenai Yuhi blush with embarrassment, while Kushina clenched her fists as if she wanted to punch someone.

Whoever marries Xi Ri Hong will surely be very happy.

Based on the timeline that Kyohiko knows, it's somewhat hellish, since Asuma's happiness didn't last long.

After a hearty meal and drinks, Jiraiya, after careful consideration, did not tell Kushina about Minato's mission to rescue the Uzumaki clan.

Everything is still unsettled.

It's not too late to tell Kushina after we've confirmed it.

That night.

Everyone except the children drank together and returned home in high spirits.

……

The next day, the entrance to the Ninja Academy was bustling and lively.

because--

Tsunade is here!

The school was immediately filled with noise.

If it weren't for the fact that class was about to start, all the children in the school would probably have run down.

Jingyan followed silently behind.

A moment later, he followed Tsunade into the office.

This is the principal's office.

Generally speaking, the Hokage is the principal of the Ninja Academy, while the secretary or vice principal usually sits in the office.

The current vice principal...

"Mitōmon-senpai, please forgive my intrusion in visiting."

"Tsunade."

Mitokado Homura pushed up his glasses and forced a smile. "Have a seat. That kid must be Yoshimine Kyohiko, right? Not bad, very talented. In a few years, he'll definitely become a pillar of Konoha."

"It's all thanks to the excellent teaching of the teachers."

Jingyan was neither humble nor arrogant.

Mitokado Homura nodded secretly, then looked at Tsunade.

"Tsunade, you didn't come here this time just to ask me to support you in starting that psychology department, did you? If so, you should go talk to Hiruzen first. If he agrees, I won't stop you."

"Definitely not. Even if it were approved now, there wouldn't be enough doctors with expertise in this area, so it would be meaningless."

Tsunade answered with a smile.

This was also the result of her conversation with Jingyan last night.

One must take things one step at a time.

It is not yet time to directly promote its application in medicine.

"Tsunade, you've matured!"

Mitokado was overjoyed.

He had expected Tsunade to make a scene over his opposition the day before yesterday, but to his surprise, her tone was quite calm, even more so than during the meeting.

"What do you need help with? Tell me, and I'll definitely support you if it's within my power."

"I believe that children are the future of Konoha, and their minds and abilities are not mature enough, so they may have many health problems. Therefore, I want to conduct free clinics at the school."

Tsunade revealed her purpose.

Mitokado Yan was taken aback.

Free clinic?

What are you plotting?

He couldn't make up his mind right away and didn't dare to agree immediately.

but.

Thinking about it carefully, Tsunade is right; the health problems of those children should be taken seriously.

Maybe--

Was Tsunade just trying to win their favor?

He thought for a moment and said, "Do you have any plans for the free clinic?"

"Yes! In addition to health checks, this free clinic will also screen children suitable for early training as medical ninjas. So please spread the word that I need assistants and I need to conduct screening and training, starting this afternoon..."

Tsunade revealed her purpose.

Last night, Kyohiko's suggestion to Tsunade was—

Under the guise of free clinics, they actually conduct psychotherapy, while also adding the ostensible purpose of "pre-screening and training."

Neither Hiruzen Sarutobi nor anyone else would doubt Tsunade's motives.

of course.

He didn't know much about psychology and didn't dare to give any substantial advice. He only advised Tsunade to focus on guiding and channeling the children's emotions, letting them vent on their own, and then offering suggestions and help.

really.

Upon hearing this, Mitomon En suddenly realized what was going on.

"So that's what it was about... Since we agreed to implement it, of course we'll help. Okay, I'll have the teachers promote it today. We should have results by the second period at the latest. You can then screen and review them yourself during the second period."

"Okay, thank you, Mitomon-senpai."

"We're all doing this for Konoha. If you have any other requests, you can tell me them all at once, and I'll make arrangements for you."

Mitokado was extremely pleased.

Tsunade has a bad temper, but she's definitely a woman of action!

"I need a large hall and two quiet, enclosed rooms with partitions for examining some less convenient medical conditions."

"Can."

Mitokado agreed without hesitation.

……

Putting aside political views and ideologies, Mitokado Enoki was highly efficient.

In just a moment, he made room for Tsunade and even gave up an office.

At the same time, the matter of the "medical assistant" was also given instructions.

At the same time, Jingyan received a notification.

You guided a free clinic and psychological medical practice, which promoted the development of the medical field.

[Reward: Palm Healing Technique (Proficient)]

Jingyan was surprised.

A palm technique that directly reaches the "proficient" level?

He quietly absorbed the new knowledge and skills that had appeared in his mind.

This knowledge is very useful!

The first part covers knowledge of human cells, bones, blood vessels, internal organs, and chakra pathways.

These are the basics of medicine.

The second part explains how to use chakra to stimulate the body's healing abilities, thereby maximizing the effectiveness of the Palm Healing Technique.

For ordinary ninjas, these skills require a lot of time to memorize and master.

I essentially have direct control over it!

Although it's not something you urgently need, there's nothing to complain about when it's free.

As for technique, his chakra control was already very refined, so he couldn't perceive subtle changes.

Just as I was pondering this, I heard a noise outside.

"Lady Tsunade, we currently have five people who are interested and capable of becoming your assistant. Would you like to take a look at them?"

"Five? That many? Bring them over so we can see them!"

Tsunade became interested.

Medical ninjas require special talents, and before she left the village, there might not be more than two talented genin each year.

She doesn't think Mito Menyan is completely ignorant about this.

So, this year's batch of students has five of them!

A short while later, the five entered the classroom.

"Lady Tsunade!"

Tsunade's gaze swept over them.

Four boys, one girl...

Then, she noticed that three people were looking at Kyohiko, and she understood.

They and Jingyan should be in the same grade.

She smiled slightly and said, "My requirements are very strict, so even if it's just temporarily acting as my assistant in this free clinic, it's not a job that just anyone can do."

"Yes, we understand!"

All five answered hesitantly.

Tsunade nodded: "Do you know basic medical skills?"

The basic medical skill is to extract the corresponding chakra and then master the basic ability to stimulate cell growth and healing.

The five people nodded.

"meeting!"

"Okay, Kyohiko..."

Tsunade looked at Kyohiko.

Kyohiko remained silent, but Tsunade required him to cooperate at any time today, so he had no choice but to nod.

In an instant, his figure vanished.

In the blink of an eye, three birds were struggling in Jingyan's hands, chirping and chattering.

So fast!

Nohara Rin was secretly shocked.

Then she noticed that their wings were broken.

"treat."

Jingyan placed the birds on the table and stared at them.

The five men's faces turned deathly pale.

Tsunade said, "Kyohiko, relax a bit."

"what?"

Kyohiko paused for a moment, then looked at Nohara Rin and the others, and immediately realized—

Having gone through the Chunin Exams, he had killed many people and seemed to have accumulated a similar "killing aura." His unintentional release of this aura just now made it difficult for them to remain calm.

He was thinking about beautiful things, and his overall demeanor gradually softened.

"Sorry, I was daydreaming just now."

"No, it's nothing!"

Nohara Rin swallowed hard in surprise.

At the Ninja Academy, Kyohiko was a rising star.

Before graduation, few people at the school knew him, but after graduation, news about him came in droves, with big news almost every few days.

There are many evaluations nowadays: strong, genius, comparable to Kakashi, etc.

but.

They had no idea how strong they really were before graduating, but now, facing their opponent directly, Nohara Rin understood.

This power is...

Even if it's not intentionally targeted, it can still make them genuinely afraid!

Kyohiko looked at Tsunade behind him: "Should I catch two more?"

"No need, just use it repeatedly."

Tsunade's gaze swept over them, then she looked at the three of them. "You guys will treat them. Who wants to go first?"

"I!"

All five answered together.

Tsunade smiled and randomly selected three people.

The three men took over, examined the wound, and quickly began treatment. Their techniques were very skillful, indicating that they had practiced.

Soon, a substitute came on.

After enduring much suffering, the three birds were finally cured.

Five people stood to one side.

She nodded repeatedly.

Not bad!

Mito Menyan is not a hoax.

However, after thinking for a moment, she asked, "Would there be more difficult wounds?"

"I've read the book and experimented on some animals, but I'm not very good at it..."

"It's okay, I'll teach you first."

Tsunade then asked them to introduce themselves.

Jingyan recognized the name. After a moment's recollection, he vaguely remembered that someone in the medical class of later generations seemed to have a name that matched one of theirs.

and so.

Are they from the future medical class?

Tsunade took out a cloth bag from behind her, which contained several books, and she handed them out one by one.

Then he began to explain medical ninjutsu, medical tips and key points, according to the book.

Kyohiko can read Tsunade's book.

As he watched and listened, comparing his observations with his memories, he felt he had gained a great deal.

At noon, under Tsunade's control...

Blood was spilling from the mouths of the three birds.

Now, all five of them were sweating profusely. Only Nohara Rin and one named Hanfang were slightly better off. In the end, they managed to complete the treatment, albeit with some stumbles.

There's one left.

Tsunade was about to go up and take action when she caught a glimpse of something out of the corner of her eye, and an idea immediately struck her.

"Kyohiko, do you want to give it a try?"

"I?"

Jingyan was first surprised, and then his heart fluttered.

Exactly!

Use this opportunity to test the knowledge you've gained...

Upon thinking of this, he immediately nodded.

"good!"

Immediately afterwards, he stepped forward and began to operate it.

Chakra input...

Inspect the internal injuries.

The moment the thought arose, the hand moved as if it were instinct, completing the action in one smooth motion.

Jingyan understood.

This time, the focus is not on chakra control techniques, but on the perception that extends from chakra!

At this moment, the bird's internal injuries were as clear as a mirror!

He could clearly sense where the wound was.

So.

Chakra Stimulation!

Jingyan was completely focused on medical work, unaware of the shock that the outside world was experiencing.

Nohara Rin was completely dumbfounded.

She wasn't sure if Kyohiko had studied it, but the way he was doing it was like that of a seasoned medical ninja, not a beginner.

Furthermore, the other party's main business is not healthcare.

Jingyan's real strength lies in his physical abilities; he certainly hasn't devoted much energy to the medical field.

even.

Perhaps the other person simply copied what they just learned...

As for Tsunade...

He appeared calm on the surface, but inside he was in turmoil.

She was just asking casually, not expecting that Jingyan could actually do it, and so skillfully and smoothly.

You call this a beginner's level?

After studying silent mode for over a year, this is about the best I can do!

Where would Keihiko find the time to study medical ninjutsu?

Could it be that Kyohiko is a genius in medical ninjutsu?!

Also.

After thinking about it carefully, Tsunade understood.

Kyohiko already possessed superb and precise chakra control abilities. As long as he mastered the skills of medical ninjutsu and had the talent in this area, it wouldn't be difficult for him to achieve the current results.

Her gaze was piercing, her eyes burning with desire, and she was deep in thought—

Why not apologize to Jiraiya and snatch his disciple away?

Anyway...

Jiraiya has not officially confirmed this yet.
