Naruto: Starting from Eating the Gold Fruit

Chapter 196: I don't even know who he learned it from.

"Does Konoha's medical ninja team need intensive training?"

Kato Dan looked at the Third Hokage in front of him with a puzzled expression.

Wearing the Hokage hat, Yuya lowered the brim and said in a deep voice, "Yes, because Acting Dean Tsunade invented a new medical ninjutsu."

Kato Dan exclaimed in admiration, "Lady Tsunade? She's amazing..."

Kato Dan looked on with admiration.

Kato Dan, liaison officer for the Konoha Army's medical ninja unit.

Simply put, his job was to travel between the army and the village to deliver relevant medical technology.

Of course, he himself is also a staunch supporter of the military squad medical ninja system.

He is 27 years old, married, and has a 5-year-old daughter.

His wife is a team head nurse at Konoha Hospital.

The head nurse of Konoha actually holds a very high position.

Because in a hospital, the most respected person is undoubtedly either Tsunade or, due to her advanced age, the hospital director, Katsuragi, who has already gone home to enjoy his later years.

Basically, Katsuragi no longer gets involved, and Tsunade is now the head of Konoha's First Hospital.

However, Tsunade was unwilling to take over the position of dean while Katsuragi was still alive.

Youya didn't understand what it meant to wait until the master died before officially taking over the position, but he was deeply shocked and agreed.

The only connection between Kato Dan and Tsunade might be that they were students in the same class.

It's just a pity that when Tsunade was 7 years old, she was already thinking about how to pounce on Yua, who was 13 at the time. Because of Hashirama Senju's death and the outbreak of the Fourth Shinobi World War, Tobirama Senju went to the front line and had to take over the position of acting Hokage, and he did a really good job.

Therefore, Tsunade's impression of Kato Dan was "a classmate with pretty good grades".

Furthermore, to be honest, the reason why Tsunade favored Dan Kato in the original work was because Dan Kato strongly supported Tsunade at a meeting where everyone opposed her medical ninja system, which is why he officially caught Tsunade's eye.

But in this life...

Forget about medical ninjas, Konoha's third hospital has already started construction.

The main reason is that with the increasing population in the inner city, the two hospitals are indeed overwhelmed.

Therefore, the third hospital, Yuya, was opened in the southern part of the inner city. However, this hospital was jointly funded and owned by three medium-sized families: Akimichi, Inuzuka, and Aburame, with more than a dozen smaller families, such as Gekko and Yamanaka.

It does not belong to the village, so jurisdiction is naturally not in Youya's hands.

Simply put, this is a private hospital.

You Ya didn't feel there was anything wrong with it.

People in Konoha are indeed wealthy now; private hospitals are great, except they're ridiculously expensive.

These dozen or so families certainly wouldn't do charity, so when the time comes, the wealthy people in Konoha who want services can go to the Third Hospital, while the poor or those who want to save money on medical treatment can go to the First or Second People's Hospitals. It's good, with a variety of choices.

In short, the promotion of the hospital's medical ninjas was already being laid before Yua even married Tsunade. He even had to endure the disdain and pressure from other clans to build the hospital. If Tsunade was going to think highly of him, she would definitely only have eyes for Yua.

After all, the Yahoo! Asia project has truly been implemented.

—In the early days, Yuya did encounter some setbacks. In fact, the most suitable place in Konoha to build a hospital was the Uchiha clan's territory, and this remains true even now.

However, the Uchiha clan refused, feeling that building a morgue would be too humiliating.

As we all know, the Sarutobi clan took over and became rich. Some of the younger members of the Uchiha clan don't actually know about this. If they did, they'd probably be secretly cursing the elders or seniors.

Therefore, there's no need to compare the significance of actually building a hospital versus merely expressing verbal support; they are simply incomparable.

However, these things have nothing to do with Kato Dan.

In fact, if it weren't for the fact that Tsunade's newly developed ninjutsu had commercial value, Yua wouldn't have asked Kato to come over at all.

After all, Kato Dan was stationed in the military, and the military's medical ninjutsu resources must be at the forefront.

When Kato Dan took a ninjutsu scroll from Yua and opened it, he was stunned when he saw the four words "Creation and Rebirth" at the top.

These four characters can express so much.

He continued reading, and after seeing the actual effects and the complete mastery of the technology, his eyes widened in astonishment: "It can even repair damaged internal organs?! That's incredible!"

Kato Dan stared at Yua, who was wearing a Hokage hat with his head down, with an expression of disbelief.

Yuya simply nodded calmly, then covered his entire face with his straw hat and said calmly, "It's just repair, not creation from scratch, and it's limited to internal organs. If your heart is pierced, you'll still die. This is regeneration, not resurrection."

Kato Dan nodded: "But that's still amazing... As expected of Lady Tsunade."

Yuya nodded again, then said to Kato very seriously, "You should know the importance of this ninjutsu. Read it here, memorize every word, then burn the scroll. When you get back, teach this ninjutsu to the medical ninjas. Remember, the secrecy level of this ninjutsu is S-rank, at least for the next five years."

Kato Dan immediately saluted Yua, then eagerly began to read the contents of the scroll.

After watching it, Kato Dan understood what was going on.

This section explains the principles behind this ninjutsu. Simply put, understanding these principles will help you understand what creation and regeneration truly mean.

For example, if a kidney is removed down to one-tenth of its original size, the principle of this ninjutsu tells you how to use that remaining one-tenth as the original anchor point to regenerate the entire kidney.

Except for cases with a maximum mortality rate such as heart or brain injuries, generally speaking, understanding this principle can save lives.

It's clear that Youya doesn't want more people to know this principle.

He doesn't want to for at least five years.

As for why it's five years...

Can Yu Ya say that he estimates Tsunade's advanced medical handbook will be published in five years?

After all, this is just a ninjutsu for saving lives, and given Tsunade's personality, Yua felt that Tsunade wouldn't keep such a ninjutsu hidden away.

It might be published directly at that time.

That's why there's a time limit for swimming.

As for Kato Dan teaching other ninjas, he only needed to tell them what to do in different situations, but he didn't need to explain the underlying principles.

That's been the case at least for the past few years.

Kato Dan understood what Yua meant, and after reading the contents, he nodded to indicate that he understood.

Then he burned the scroll, saluted, and left the Hokage's office.

After Kato Dan left, Yuya breathed a sigh of relief, threw the Hokage hat on the table, covered his swollen right eye, and sighed helplessly.

What a blunder! Who could have predicted Tsunade would return ahead of schedule...

In fact, when Tsunade returned and the diamond-shaped mark appeared on her forehead, Yua knew what Tsunade had been doing for the past month.

But wasn't it supposed to be a month?

How come you're back in just over twenty days?!

You Ya sighed.

He naturally planned to wait until the last day to clean up the living room, which was piled high with fried chicken, kebabs, beverage bottles, and cans.

As it turned out, Tsunade returned ahead of schedule...

Ugh, that punch was so unfair! It was clearly those two kids, Youji and Youlu, who wanted to eat junk food. What did it have to do with me? I was just eating with them.

Although I did eat a bit more, I'm an adult, and adults definitely eat more than children.

Ugh……

Youya applied ice to her eyes.

When she got home that evening, Tsunade, still in her pajamas, applied an ice pack to Yua's face while saying irritably, "Who told you I was planning to share Creation Rebirth?"

Yuya covered his eyes and looked at Tsunade with his other eye: "Didn't you always say that doctors have a benevolent heart? Why are you hiding it this time?"

Tsunade rolled her eyes: "I did say that healers have a benevolent heart, but before that, I was a member of Konoha Village."

I don't want people from other villages to start a war with Konoha in the future, and then use my medical ninjutsu to treat the wounded who fought desperately against Konoha ninjas on the battlefield.

Then the people of Konoha would be the ones who feel bad.

and……"

Tsunade, now youthful again, glared at Yua: "Didn't you teach me that unless the technology is at least two generations ahead, it shouldn't be released, and even then, it can't be released for free; you have to make a lot of money from it first?"

You Ya smacked his lips, then shook his head and said, "You're really starting to resemble a shrewd businessman more and more..."

Tsunade chuckled: "Then guess who you learned it from?"

In reality, the power of creation and regeneration is not that strong.

After all, a person's chakra is limited. Most people in this world are not like Sasuke or the Crown Prince, who have an inexhaustible supply of chakra.

Most people don't have much chakra.

Creation Rebirth is a ninjutsu that heavily relies on the amount of chakra and the ability to continuously output chakra.

Normally speaking, let alone restoring a kidney to one-tenth of its original size, even restoring it to two-tenths would require an astonishing amount of chakra.

The value of the Creation Regeneration ninjutsu is nowhere near that of the Hundred Healings Seal on Tsunade's forehead.

The Hundred Healings Technique is usually used to store excess chakra. The chakra stored in the Yin Seal can also be used to improve one's skin, physique, and accelerate one's metabolism and internal circulation. Simply put, even after one's period comes once a month, the passive effect of this ninjutsu can alleviate the pain.

When needed, the chakra stored inside can be retrieved, which is already a very large amount of chakra. The active effect of the Hundred Healings Technique is actually very simple: it amplifies the user's other ninjutsu.

But just how significant is this increase?

In any case, once Tsunade activates the Hundred Healings Technique, she can ensure that all the villagers of Konoha who survived Pain's Shinra Tensei will live.

Of course, the Slug Sage's cooperation also played a role, but the amplification from the Hundred Healings Technique certainly also contributed greatly.

It can be said that the technique of creation and regeneration is actually a trap.

Without the support of the Hundred Healings Technique, even a medical ninja would have to consume a huge amount of energy to save someone using this ninjutsu.

Even so, this technique itself is indeed very valuable.

Yuya hadn't expected that Tsunade wasn't planning to pass on this technique to outsiders; he had thought Tsunade was the kind of person who took the world's people as her responsibility.

But now that I think about it, Tsunade's top priority was definitely the ninjas of Konoha.

Other villages...

Hmm... then forget it.

……

It's impossible to keep the fact that Tsunade has become younger a secret from others, and of course, she doesn't intend to hide it.

Just three days after Tsunade returned, she published a paper in Konoha's ninja newspaper.

The title of the paper naturally focuses on Yuya's style, which can only be described as "like husband, like wife":

The interaction and influence of cell activity with body age and appearance

The main point is that once you see the title, you can roughly tell what the content is.

Of course, this is just the beginning.

A few days later, another paper was published.

In the latter half of April of Konoha Year 39, Tsunade published four papers in a row, causing an uproar throughout the entire ninja world.

Okay, that's an exaggeration.

It should be said that they are the leadership of all the countries in the entire ninja world.

Ordinary people don't have the energy, nor are they inclined to pay attention to such highly specialized content.

However, the leaders of other villages are different. Even if they don't pay attention to the content, once these papers are published, they can tell what kind of impact they will have by asking about the consequences.

……

"Bang!" Onoki slammed the intelligence report that had been urgently sent back from Konoha onto the table, and roared angrily at the figure in a white coat standing opposite him:

"Damn it! Lucky Konoha! Why! Why doesn't our Iwagakure have a genius like that?!"

Ohnoki was suffering.

It's one thing that there aren't any geniuses among the ninjas of Iwagakure who can help the village.

Now, geniuses who rely solely on their professional skills have also emerged.

Why?!

Why don't they have any in Iwagakure?!

The doctor standing opposite him was the hospital director who had returned from studying in Konoha.

"Lady Tsunade is different." The young dean shook his head and looked at the newspaper with great respect. "Her talent in medical ninjutsu is unparalleled in the world. It can even be said that without Lady Tsunade, the development of medical ninjutsu would probably have been delayed by at least twenty years."

But it's okay.

We can continue sending students to Konoha.

Upon hearing this, Onoki hesitated: "But... will Konoha really teach it? The strategic nature of this medical ninjutsu..."

The head of the Iwagakure Hospital looked at Onoki with a serious expression: "Lady Tsunade is not the kind of doctor who lacks compassion. As long as we show our sincerity and send our most talented people there, if Lady Tsunade is willing to take on a disciple, she will definitely be willing to pass on this medical ninjutsu to our ninjas."

Onoki hesitated for a moment.

I sent the geniuses of Iwagakure to study in Konoha, and that was fine enough. Now, we actually have to give Konoha benefits and beg you to teach the people of Iwagakure...

Our people go there to pay tuition and contribute to the development of Konoha, and now you want to add another fee as a "tuition fee"?!

Onoki felt a surge of frustration.

He felt even more frustrated than he had been a few days earlier after realizing that Iwagakure was missing a demolition genius.

but……

After glancing at the intelligence report, Onoki shook his head helplessly: "Give it to them, go ask Konoha how many they want."

……

"Bang!"

In Kumogakure, the Third Raikage was enveloped in lightning chakra, and the table was destroyed once again.

A sexy, dark-skinned woman in a tight miniskirt, clutching a folder, said helplessly, "Lord Raikage, didn't you say you wouldn't damage the desk anymore? This desk alone costs 100,000 taels of silver."

The Third Raikage's face flushed with rage: "That damned Konoha made our people work for them, charging us tuition and lodging fees, and demanding profits from us. Now they want to charge each of us 100 million ryo for training just for this bullshit medical ninjutsu?!

"Why doesn't he just rob someone of a hundred million?! That damned Third Hokage! He and his master are simply... no! He's even worse than that bastard Second Hokage! The Second Hokage would at most fight us, but this bastard wants to devour us completely!"

The Third Raikage has started his daily grumbling again.

In fact, ever since Yua officially took office in Konoha, the Raikage would berate Yua for several hours every month. It is worth mentioning that most of the time the content of the rant was similar, but each time it would break Yua's defenses in a different way.

The dark-skinned, hot secretary sighed helplessly and said, "But we still have to give it to them. They've already sent ten people from Iwagakure."

"What?! Ten?! Where did that shorty get ten billion taels of silver?!"

The secretary calmly explained, "Konoha said that Iwagakure was their first customer, so they could get a 50% discount. Therefore, Iwagakure actually only spent 500 million."

The Third Raikage: "..."

Why does this one look so out of place next to five hundred million?

The Third Raikage's chest heaved violently.

He looked at the piece of paper on the ruins of the table that had been smashed to pieces on the ground, then looked up at the overpass construction diagram hanging on the wall and sighed helplessly: "Give it to them, but we want a discount, a 50% discount. If they don't agree, I'll, I'll, I'll go to the newspaper and say that the Hokage of Konoha Village are all bastards!"

Whether it's the first generation, the second generation, or this damn third generation!

All of them!

The secretary sighed helplessly.

This hot-tempered Raikage is ultimately able to discern the situation and won't impulsively refuse without considering the consequences.

That's the real loss...

……

Hidden Mist Village:

"...I have no money."

The Third Mizukage sighed helplessly.

He won the village's internal strife, but he also lost. The village, ravaged by the fighting, will be difficult to rebuild; roads, hospitals, and schools will all need to be repaired...

I don't have the money to go to Konoha for training...

"Go ask Konoha if we can pay on credit."

……

Sunagakure Village:

The newly appointed Fourth Kazekage, Granny Chiyo, remained silent for a long time before speaking to her son, Sasori: "I'm going into seclusion. In the meantime, Sunagakure will be in your hands and that brat from the Sandstorm Clan named Rasa."

"But... this medical ninjutsu..." Sasori's father looked at the intelligence report with some concern.

"Hmph, it's just a medical ninjutsu." Granny Chiyo tossed the information in her hand:

"These four papers are enough."

After saying that, Granny Chiyo left the office, but returned a short while later:

"By the way, send someone to call Sasori, Yekura and the other kids back. There's no possibility of internal strife in the village now, so they don't need to stay in Konoha anymore."

Scorpion's father sighed helplessly: "I'll go there and see if there's anything we can learn from Konoha. Only by seeing it with our own eyes can we know how big the gap is between us."

With that thought in mind, Scorpion's father arrived in Konoha.

Impressed by Konoha's prosperity and strength, Sasori's father asked the ninja leading the group where Sasori had gone.

After stammering for a long time, the Jonin finally led Sasori's father to a certain place.

As soon as he entered, Scorpion Father saw a red-haired scorpion sitting in front of a huge machine, pressing the buttons on the machine very quickly with a serious expression.

Then, seemingly having determined a winner, the red-haired Scorpion stood up, raised his face, and spoke to the child opposite him, chin in hand:

"Is this the son of the Hokage of Konoha? He's quite weak, isn't he?"

The little boy opposite him stomped his foot in anger, pointed at him, and roared, "One more time! This time I absolutely can't lose!"

"Hmph, even though you're the Hokage's son, I won't lose."

"Don't keep bringing up my dad, it's annoying! Everyone knows my dad is the strongest and most awesome ninja in the entire ninja world." The child waved his hand like that.

Scorpion frowned, unable to resist arguing with the boy, who was similar in height and age to him:

"My dad is the best! He's the world's greatest puppeteer!"

The scorpion father paused in his steps as he was about to go over, a look of relief, relief, and happiness appearing on his face.

"Bullshit! My dad is the best!"

"My dad is!"

"My dad is the Hokage!"

"My dad is the most amazing puppeteer!"

"My dad dared to marry a tigress! Do you know what a tigress is?! When she gets fierce, she roars and screams! She'll scare you to death!"

"My dad dares to do that too! My mom is the fiercest of all! Aww! Aww!"

"My dad dares to walk alone at night!"

"My dad dares to go to another city alone!"

"My dad dares to..."
