Konoha's lexicon of ninjas

Chapter 42 Chunin Exams! (Please vote and give me your monthly tickets to continue reading!)

Hoshita Shuichi knew very well that if he could really do what Tsunade envisioned, there would be too many benefits.

But how can this be achieved?

Hoshita Shuichi pondered, "Lady Tsunade, if we want to systematically store medical ninjutsu, then we need to seal the chakra as well."

"In layman's terms, it's about sealing away a spell that has already been cast, and then releasing it when needed."

As he spoke, he couldn't help but think of Tsunade's Creation Rebirth, an S-rank medical ninjutsu, from the original manga.

This is a technique that allows cells to regenerate rapidly, even healing wounds that pierce the chest quickly, but it requires a large amount of chakra to accumulate.

Thus, the Hundred Healings Technique came into being, which allows a large amount of chakra to burst forth instantly, increasing output power while maintaining stable and precise output.

With these two techniques, one is practically immortal.

The Yin Seal is a sealing technique that can seal and store chakra, and it was passed down from the Uzumaki clan.

However, Tsunade clearly hasn't created Creation Rebirth or the Hundred Healings Technique yet, otherwise she wouldn't have these thoughts now.

"Of course it's difficult."

Tsunade said, "If we can seal away ninjutsu in advance, including the accumulation of chakra, then we can heal serious injuries at critical moments."

"You know, many injuries require extremely powerful chakra to be effective, but often when it comes to treatment, it's not possible to have such powerful chakra to unleash and precisely control it."

As she spoke, her expression darkened as she thought of Duan, who had died before her eyes.

For Hoshino Shuichi, once he reached the point of sealing ninjutsu, it actually had little connection with the memory palace itself.

It was the memory palace technique that inspired Tsunade.

Even though he wasn't very skilled in sealing techniques, Hoshino Shuichi knew how difficult it would be to realize Tsunade's idea.

Seeing Tsunade's gloomy expression, he thought for a moment and said, "Lady Tsunade, your idea is amazing, but I think we can break it down into steps and solve it one by one."

"Firstly, there's medical ninjutsu. Yin Healing and Wound Destruction are certainly not bad, but many injuries probably cannot be healed in a very short time, especially large open wounds, or even internal organ damage."

"Therefore, our first priority should be to develop a sufficiently powerful medical ninjutsu."

"Secondly, there's the cursed seal, used to construct chakra channels. Medical ninjutsu differs from other ninjutsu; it's more refined, but at the same time, it requires a stable and large chakra output. Therefore, it's necessary to develop a separate technique to address this."

"Finally, there's the enormous amount of chakra. We need a way to store chakra that's not usually needed, and then release the seal when it's required."

Tsunade listened and fell into deep thought. After a moment, she looked up at Hoshino Shuichi and said, "Shuichi... your idea does have a better chance of success."

Finally, they're not called "little devil" anymore.

A simple name, yet it hides a lot.

Shuichi Hoshita knew that his relationship with Tsunade had taken another step forward.

That's normal. There's no such thing as good without a reason. He's not devastatingly handsome, let alone a six-year-old kid.

Having received approval, Hoshino Shuichi immediately smiled and said, "Since Lady Tsunade has given her her approval, let's work hard on these three points!"

"Lady Tsunade is the most skilled medical ninja in the ninja world, I believe she can definitely do it."

Tsunade's mood improved, and she hummed softly, "Of course."

"However, even with my best efforts, yours... whether it's sealing techniques or medical ninjutsu, is still not enough."

ruthless!

Hoshita Shuichi looked "heartbroken": "Lady Tsunade, you're kicking me after I've served my purpose."

"While my medical ninjutsu and sealing techniques are unremarkable, it is undeniable that my mind is free from all constraints."

Tsunade felt bad too, and waved her hand, "Alright, alright!"

"Your contribution is indeed significant; you'll also have a share in the development of this technology."

"in addition……"

After hesitating for a moment, Tsunade said, "If you need any medical ninjutsu, you can ask me!"

Hoshita Shuichi was overjoyed and quickly bowed, saying, "Thank you, Lady Tsunade!"

Tsunade waved her hand, then pondered, "The sealing technique for storing chakra already has the Yin Seal inherited from the Uzumaki clan."

Hoshita Shuichi asked cooperatively, "Was it passed down by Lady Mito?"

"It was indeed left by my grandmother."

Tsunade nodded: "I will pass it on to you after I master it. You can leave now. I need some quiet time to think about the new technique."

Having received the promise, Hoshino Shuichi immediately took his leave to find Yakushi Nonou.

Ah, the Dean is still the gentlest!

……

When Hoshino Shuichi returned to the orphanage with Yakushi Nono that evening, he bought two chickens on the way.

Then at the orphanage, he successfully swapped the eyes of two chickens.

The technique for extracting minor ailments has been mastered!

Yes, the chicken soup was also very delicious.

For the next two days, Hoshino Shuichi stayed at Konoha Hospital with Pharmacist Nonou from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. to further familiarize himself with the technique of extracting small ailments.

In addition, he gets up at 5 a.m. to practice, goes to practice with Kai and the others after 4 p.m., and continues to consult with Yakushi Nonou about medical knowledge in the evening.

Unfortunately, Kakashi wasn't there, so he couldn't have a taijutsu duel with him.

Two days passed in a flash, and the team continued their mission.

Whether it's escorting a caravan, protecting a nobleman from the Land of Fire, guarding the border, exchanging intelligence with other ninja villages or even a ninja organization, or escorting intelligence... each mission is at least a C-rank.

The mission experience of Hoshino and his companions was increasing at a rapid pace.

Time flies, and it's already July.

On this day, Minato Namikaze didn't bring any missions, but instead brought three registration forms.

Minato Namikaze laughed and said, "Hey, as the Jonin leading the team, I've already recommended you to participate in the Chunin Exams."

"I'm finally going to become a Chunin!"

Kurama Sanyo was overjoyed and immediately reached out to take the registration form.

"what?"

Kurama Yama, who was handing Hoshino Shuichi the registration form, suddenly said, "By the way, if you pass the exam, Shuichi, you'll have become a Chunin at the age of six, right?"

Minato Namikaze and Shisui Uchiha both looked at Shuichi Hoshino.

Hoshino Shuichi was taken aback.

His birthday is March 3rd, so according to his age in years, he is indeed six years old now.

Kakashi's birthday is in September, so he's not even six years old yet!

So he stole Kakashi's title of being the youngest Chunin?

Thinking about it, it's actually a little exciting.

Will Kakashi participate in the Chunin Exams this year?

As I was thinking this, the tree of terms in my mind stirred.

Hoshino Shuichi didn't check immediately, saying, "My birthday is in March, so I am indeed six years old. If there are no younger than me among those who participate in the Chunin Exams, and I succeed, then I will indeed be promoted to Chunin at the age of six."

Minato Namikaze said confidently, "With your abilities, this is absolutely no problem."

Of the three, Hoshino Shuichi is the youngest, having graduated less than half a year ago, but his progress has been extremely rapid, and he has fully acquired the strength of a Chunin.

"After you finish filling out the registration form, submit it to the Hokage Building. The first written exam is in three days, so don't be late."

Minato Namikaze gave his instructions.

The three, including Hoshino Shizuka, nodded in unison: "Understood!"
