Chapter 41 Tsunade's Astonishing Idea! (Please vote and give monthly tickets to follow this story)

In the bathtub, Hoshino Shizuka closed his eyes and quietly pondered the mission of a double agent.

As a double agent, the most important thing is to gain the trust of both sides.

There shouldn't be a problem with Konoha, since he will be a Konoha ninja for a long time, and he has his teacher Minato Namikaze vouching for him. He also has a good family background and correct ideology.

So how can one gain the trust of the daimyo over a long period of time? Putting aside the mission itself, the daimyo's investment in him is also quite important, as it can provide him with another source of income, allowing him to make as much money as he wants.

"Introduce some geniuses to the lord?"

"For example, Kakashi... taking 30-50% as a referral fee shouldn't be too much, right?"

"But what if Sarutobi Asuma gets dragged away by the daimyo? Won't he blame me?"

Hoshino Shuichi's thoughts were wandering until he finished his bath and was able to bring them back to his senses.

"My current role is primarily melee combat, and secondarily a medical ninja."

"Leaving aside the medical ninja path, close combat will definitely focus on swordsmanship. The Crescent Moon Dance is not bad, but it's not enough to become a Jonin, let alone an elite Jonin."

Shuichi Hoshino pondered as he dressed.

Although he was only a low-ranking ninja, he still had to think about his future path.

For example, how should one proceed with the swordsmanship path?

"After the Crescent Moon Dance, I should first master the Wind Release Chakra Nature Transformation, and then apply it to swordsmanship to create my own unique swordsmanship techniques."

"The Fire Release approach... seems to require either a large amount of chakra or a combination of ninjutsu, such as Wind Release..."

Human energy and time are limited. If it weren't for the existence of this entry, Hoshino Shuichi would definitely be obsessed with the path of combining wind release with swordsmanship right now.

After getting dressed, Hoshino Hideaki headed straight for Konoha Hospital.

While practicing the technique of extracting minor ailments in the Daimyo Prefecture, he accumulated several questions that he could only get answered by the pharmacist Nono.

However, upon arriving at Konoha Hospital, instead of seeing Yakushi Nonou, they bumped into Tsunade, whom they hadn't seen in a long time.

"Lady Tsunade!"

Hoshita Hideichi quickly greeted him.

"Kid...you're here to see Nonou?"

Tsunade stopped in her tracks.

Hoshino Hide nodded and said, "Yes, I'm here to learn medical ninjutsu."

Tsunade nodded, then took a step forward, but stopped after only two steps, turned around and said, "Hey, have you ever thought about further developing that memory palace into a sealing technique?"

Hoshita Hideichi's eyes lit up upon hearing this, and he turned around to ask, "Does Lady Tsunade have the same idea?"

"I had already tried to fix the memory palace in my mind with a spell seal before, so I developed a technique, and then consulted with Minato-sensei and got further improvements."

Tsunade frowned slightly upon hearing this: "That Minato guy... his sealing techniques aren't bad either."

Of course she knew Minato Namikaze; he was Jiraiya's disciple and Kushina Uzumaki's lover, and he had learned sealing techniques from Kushina Uzumaki.

"In that case, it's alright."

Tsunade waved her hand, turned around and left.

Hoshita Shuichi quickly stepped forward to stop her: "Lady Tsunade, although we share the same ideas, we may not be on the same path. It is very necessary to exchange ideas with each other, and perhaps we can gain more insights."

Tsunade hesitated for a moment, then nodded: "Then let's go to my office!"

……

Inside the office, under Tsunade's watchful eye, Hoshino Shuichi replicated the sealing technique perfected by Namikaze Minato.

Tsunade watched with her arms crossed, and after Hoshino Shizuka finished, she nodded and said, "This technique is already very perfect."

"Spatialize the memory palace illusion, reinforce it with sealing techniques, and freely control the input and output of memories."

"So this sealing technique was specifically prepared for certain memories?"

Hoshita Shuichi gave a thumbs up: "As expected of Lady Tsunade."

"The initial idea was to prevent the impact of memories on the brain after the shadow clones were removed."

Tsunade listened thoughtfully: "Shadow Clone Technique? You want to use Shadow Clone Technique for training?"

"You'd better be careful. Besides memory issues, there's also the feeling of exhaustion. You could easily work yourself to death."

"But Minato must have warned you, right?"

Hoshita Hideyuki nodded, then asked, "Lady Tsunade, what are your thoughts?"

Tsunade didn't answer; instead, she asked, "What do you think ninjutsu is?"

"this……"

Hoshino Hideaki frowned, thought for a moment, and said, "Use chakra as an energy to release it outwards in different forms."

"For example, wind, fire, lightning, or illusions, and so on."

Tsunade nodded: "A very good description."

"There are many techniques, including but not limited to curse seals and sealing techniques, that can be set on the body in advance and then used at any time."

Hoshino Shuichi immediately thought of the Hyuga clan's Caged Bird Seal technique.

This sealing technique includes both active and passive triggering modes.

Active, meaning the main family can control and activate the caged bird at any time to damage the brains of branch family members and cause them to lose their white eyes.

Passive triggering occurs when a member of the branch family dies or is captured on the battlefield, or when the enemy gouges out their eyes, triggering the sealing technique to damage the Byakugan.

Besides that, what impressed Hoshino Shuichi most was Danzo's [Inner Four Symbols Seal].

The binding seal that immobilized Sasuke Uchiha's body during the battle was probably prepared in advance and could be activated instantly.

However, such sealing techniques and curses are not simple, otherwise they would have become commonplace long ago.

Hoshita Shuichi pondered, "Does Lady Tsunade intend to use it to seal medical ninjutsu?"

Tsunade nodded: "The initial memory palace is just a method or trick for memorization, and most people should be able to learn it."

"After transforming into a sealing technique, the memory palace illusion technique is spatialized and sealed, creating an existence like a library, turning memories into books, and even personifying them."

"Then medical ninjutsu can be stored in the same way and used whenever needed without the need for hand seals."

Hoshino Hideichi was secretly alarmed upon hearing this.

Is this the kind of creative thinking that indigenous people should have?

But upon closer reflection, it's not unheard of in the ninja world to set up a curse seal in advance and then instantly cast it when needed.

There are even ninjutsu scrolls that contain ninjutsu, which Nara Shikamaru used when he dealt with Kakuzu.

But it is clear that Tsunade's ideas are systematic and large-scale.

Moreover, it must be done in the human brain.

After pondering for a moment, Hoshino said, "Lady Tsunade, simple memories are far inferior to talismans, cursed seals, and ninjutsu."

The original memory palace was a systematic, associative memory technique.

Simply put, it involves associating the things you need to memorize with familiar places to achieve the effects of quick memorization, long-term memorization, or even permanent memorization.

Hoshino Shuichi is currently using the familiar Konoha, and it is precisely because of this that he has the idea of ​​sealing this memory technique.

And they did it.

But ninjutsu and memory are different.

Memory is merely a person's thought process, while ninjutsu also requires chakra, a form of energy.

As Hoshino Shuichi previously told Tsunade, the process of performing ninjutsu, if we don't consider hand seals, can be simply described as controlling chakra energy to operate and release in different ways and with different properties.

"Of course I know that."

Since Tsunade proposed the idea, she must have thought about it.

Hoshino Hideichi laughed and said, "That is indeed a very amazing idea."

"This is equivalent to solidifying a medical ninjutsu in the brain. Putting aside the difficulty of solidifying a medical ninjutsu, if the seal goes wrong, even if the medical ninjutsu breaks out, the consequences will be very serious."

Tsunade, however, nonchalantly replied, "What kind of ninjutsu isn't dangerous?"

"If a memory palace can systematically store memories, then it should also be able to systematically store medical ninjutsu."

"For example, with the Yin Healing and Destruction technique, there's no need to predict the enemy's attack."

"The transmission of thoughts and nerve signals can be faster than any action, allowing ninjutsu to be activated the instant before the enemy is hit."
