Ninja Pot Shadow

He stood there like a wall, waiting.

Tsunade rambled on and on to Ino for five minutes, and her complaints were basically directed at the Sarutobi family.

The old man is timid and cowardly, Asuma is childish, and she even criticized eight-year-old Konohamaru.

"Heh, I heard that many villagers and ninjas call him Konohamaru-sama? An eight-year-old kid, just because his grandfather is the Hokage? My grandfather is also the Hokage, do you see how proud I am?"

Ino and Shizune stood by with smiles, and even the pet pig named Tonton nodded with a smile, saying, "You are the best. Even three generations of the Sarutobi family combined are not as good as you."

Just before the Fourth Raikage was about to unleash his power, Tsunade patted Ino on the shoulder: "Well, the fact that you chose me as your teacher shows that you have good judgment. You're much better than the idiots in the Sarutobi family. From now on, you'll be learning from me."

Ino immediately changed her tune: "Thank you, teacher. I will study hard."

She knew perfectly well that becoming an apprentice was not as simple as it seemed. The Yamanaka family, the Ino-Shika-Cho trio, Kakashi, and Jiraiya had all contributed to it, and even the Sarutobi family, whom Tsunade had criticized for a long time, had spent a lot of their influence on her behalf.

The reason these people were willing to help was because Ino had proven her abilities and that she was worth it.

Otherwise, if Tsunade accepted just anyone who wanted to become her disciple, wouldn't she be exhausted?

Tsunade and Ino officially became master and apprentice. The Fourth Raikage, who was standing to the side, said a few dry words of congratulations as a witness. Afterwards, they followed the group from Kumogakure to a wooden house outside the town to treat the wounded.

The wounded man's name is Kayuuyi. A spider-shaped bulge has appeared on his chest. This bulge beats rapidly with his heart. From the outside, Kayuuyi's blood is constantly flowing towards the spider-shaped bulge. When the energy accumulates to its peak, it may cause a sizable explosion.

Tsunade released a fine layer of chakra from her hands, and then, as if threading a needle, examined the spider-like protrusion under Kayuu's skin.

Tsunade studied the situation for a moment and then asked, "I heard you stole the secret technique from Sugino Village? Did they do this?"

The Fourth Raikage paused for a moment before saying, "They weren't ninjas from Sugi Village. We encountered the Xuanyuan Clan. Those guys make a living by hunting ninjas, so they must have been hired by Sugi Village."

Tsunade didn't care about the hunting ninjas or the Xuanyuan Clan, and Ino didn't take them seriously either. What good would it do to mess with the Fourth Raikage? He was a standard war maniac. If Konoha's fighting spirit was 1, Kumogakure's fighting spirit was at least 10.

Next, the lesion needs to be removed from Kayuu. Tsunade still cannot draw blood. She provides the surgical plan, and then all the surgeries will be performed by Shizune.

Ino hasn't even mastered the basics of the "salted fish resuscitation technique," so if she were to use it now, she would only kill the patient. However, she has at least worked odd jobs at Konoha Hospital for two months, so she can still help out.

Shizune asked her, "Do you know any medical ninjutsu?"

Ino was embarrassed. Despite having started preparing long ago, she still didn't know any medical ninjutsu.

She shook her head shyly.

Jingyin was good-natured and didn't mind at all: "Hand me the tools, and I'll explain the key points of the excision to you."

She first raised her right leg, pulled out an anesthetic from the leather sheath on her thigh, aimed it at Kayuyi's vein, and quickly injected it. The whole action was clean and efficient, and Kayuyi was paralyzed in less than five seconds.

Ino secretly admired him. Look at those movements! How skilled they were! How many people must have been paralyzed to develop this technique?

Shizune was also one of the top medical ninjas of the time, far superior to the Jonin of Konoha Hospital who practiced traditional Chinese medicine. She took Tsunade's place in teaching, explaining things in great detail from simple to complex, and Ino listened very attentively.

Medical ninjutsu is still ninjutsu, but it is primarily focused on medical treatment.

When Ino uses the Steam Explosion-Propelled Blaster, she doesn't need to distinguish between the mucosa, submucosa, muscle layer, and serosa; she just explodes it! A medical ninja, however, needs to carefully identify these layers and can't just do whatever she wants…

Her foundation was quite weak, and her theoretical knowledge was barely even half-baked. Going directly into the operating room was like Sasuke learning Chidori without learning Lightning Release—the pressure was immense.

She has her own methods too: Shadow Clone Technique, let's get started!

Nine shadow clones were created to accompany Shizune during the surgery.

The main body was listening attentively to the lecture, while the shadow clones were taking notes, taking photos, drawing diagrams, and helping to hand over tools. They formed a human wall, completely blocking the surgical environment.

The Fourth Raikage craned his neck to look for a long time, but couldn't see what was happening inside. The blood that would have splattered on Tsunade was blocked by Ino's human wall, and not a single drop flew out.

Chapter 116 Tsunade's Method

The Shadow Clone Technique, and later the Multiple Shadow Clone Technique, was nothing new to the Fourth Raikage and Tsunade.

Not to mention Tsunade, even Shizune, a pure and kind female ninja, could use the Multiple Shadow Clone Technique to capture Naruto.

Ino didn't think it was anything to be proud of. What was so special about it? She was busy making all sorts of notes.

Tsunade nodded to herself. Not bad, this human wall is very well built. Keep it up in the future.

……

Two hours later, the surgery was successfully completed. The ninjas from Kumogakure, led by the Fourth Raikage, took their leave. Tsunade received a sum of money for the surgery and then happily took her two followers and her pet pig to the casino to splurge.

Tsunade left the casino with her head down after spending all of Shizune's hard-earned money.

Ino secretly warned herself that she absolutely could not bring any money when she came to see Tsunade in the future! She had to maintain the persona of a poor person until she graduated.

The one before me is no longer just moonlight, she is sunlight!

Having spent all her money and entered a state of sage-like tranquility, Tsunade finally remembered her new disciple, Ino.

She said, "I heard you know quite a few ninjutsu techniques? What are they? Show me!"

That's exactly what I was waiting for you to say.

Ino didn't hold back either, using all her Water Release, Earth Release, and Wind Release ninjutsu. In addition to the Yamanaka family's secret techniques, she even demonstrated the Steam Explosion Technique on the spot.

Looking at the huge crater created by the explosion, Tsunade was startled. If she hadn't been prepared, even she could have been killed by it. In her opinion, perhaps only the Susanoo of the Mangekyou Sharingan and her grandfather's Wood Release: Wood Release technique could block it. The Flying Thunder God Technique might also be able to dodge it, but she had limited knowledge of it.

Tsunade's focus was completely different from that of ordinary people. She patted Ino on the shoulder and said, "Amazing, amazing, hahaha—from now on, when you encounter debt collectors, you'll be able to take care of them all! That's wonderful!"

Tsunade really doesn't have much to teach in terms of the Five Elements Ninjutsu. What she can teach is medical ninjutsu and taijutsu, which are precisely the weaknesses of Ino, and even the Yamanaka clan.

Someone skilled in water escape techniques went to the river to catch a fish, and then performed her long-successfully unmastered salted fish revival technique.

Less than two minutes into the chakra output, Tsunade noticed the problem: "Alright, stop."

Ino looked at her.

Gang pointed at her forehead: "You must have spent a lot of effort and time practicing this, right?"

That's absolutely true. In the last two months, Shikamaru's fishing skills and Choji's grilling skills have both improved dramatically.

Ino's confidence took a hit: "Yes, teacher, I find this a bit difficult. I've practiced for a long time but still can't get the hang of it..."

Sometimes she even doubted whether she had the talent to be a medical ninja, but how could that be? The original Ino knew medical ninjutsu, so how could she have lost her talent after adding so many points?

Tsunade pointed out her problem incisively: "Idiot! You've been training in the wrong direction, wrong from the very beginning. The Yamanaka family... well, I guess your Yin Release level must be very high. Under these circumstances, trying to revive fish using such a common method as stimulating chakra is naturally not going to work. Your chakra can only kill the fish."

Is that right?

Ino recalled the fish she had "treated" and the two poor pigs. The fish's vitality was indeed weak, and the two pigs she had chosen were actually very strong. Even if they had been hit on the head, they shouldn't have died so quickly! So the problem lay in Yin Release? Her Yin Release level was too high, so she couldn't master Yang Release, which represented life energy?

Tsunade sighed softly. The girl in front of her was resilient, quick-witted, and extremely goal-oriented. Her talent for ninjutsu was unparalleled. Most importantly, she had a naturally cold and sinister aura. Apart from the difference in gender, she really resembled one of her old friends.

Ino, on the other hand, thought further ahead. There are quite a few ninjas who possess both Yin and Yang chakra attributes, but they are definitely not many.

According to Tsunade, Sasuke, Obito, and others were unable to develop their Yang Release chakra because their Yin Release level was too high. Similarly, Hashirama Senju, Nagato, and Naruto lacked Yin Release chakra because their Yang Release level was too high.

Upon closer reflection, I realize that this statement does make sense.

It's good to have a teacher to guide you. If it weren't for this reminder, she would still be struggling with those saury and those big spotted pigs.

Problems need to be solved. Ino felt that she could definitely unlock Yang Release by spending pot points, but it would be too wasteful to use pot points for a level one Yang Release. So she asked, "Then, teacher, what should I do?"

Tsunade wrapped her arms tightly around her neck: "Don't be so serious, relax a bit! When you're out having fun, you should try to be happy. Come on, let's go to the tavern and I'll have a good talk with you!"

Rules against minors drinking alcohol are no big deal to Tsunade, and Ino isn't really unable to drink either; after a little hesitation, she gives in...

She told herself, "This isn't about drinking; it's about gaining knowledge!"

Shizune, standing to the side, was heartbroken, believing that Lady Tsunade had once again corrupted a village's young people.

After three rounds of drinking, Tsunade finally revealed her method: "You can suppress the Yin Release on your body with strong liquor. Drink more liquor, and then practice when you're slightly drunk. It will definitely work! Hiccup... Trust me, it's true!"

Ino stared blankly at Shizune, was she serious? The senior with long, white legs turned her head to the side, as if to say, "Don't look at me, I don't know either!"

"What are you hesitating for? Hurry up and do it!"

"Another one! Hurry up and drink it down, good! That's generous!"

"Hey young lady, you've got a good capacity for alcohol! Let's drink to our hearts' content today, until we're completely drunk!"

Ino's alcohol tolerance was left in her past life. In this life, she drank a few times while disguised as Jiraiya, but this body is ultimately no match for Tsunade, who is tested by alcohol. Practice medical ninjutsu? She's already this drunk, what's the point of practicing!

Lying on the table, all she heard was Tsunade's triumphant laughter, and then she knew nothing more.

Following Tsunade for three days meant drinking for three days straight, and she didn't learn a single thing.

It has to be said that if you don't think about anything, cast aside all your worries and troubles, the three of you and a pig can still have a very happy time drinking together.

On the evening of the fourth day, Ino finally remembered her business... She still needed to practice her "salted fish revival technique"!

In her drunken state, she couldn't find the fish; all she could see were double images, and everything looked like a salted fish.

"Hiccup... Let me think... Hmm, I should have a way to sober up... Just a little bit will do." Ino shouted as if she were under a spell, "Sober up!"

Tsunade and Shizune next to her burst into laughter, and even the pet pig Tonton looked at her with much more affection.

Chapter 117 That Person and That Technique

"Use water dragon bullets? Burst water waves... hiccup, or use water to interrupt the waves?" Ino thought vaguely, her brain reacting much slower than usual. It took her a long time to come up with a way to sober up.

That is partial hydration technique.

Her ninjutsu talent is indeed high now. She has five hand seals in total, and she made two of them wrong. But relying on her skillful ninjutsu control, she still managed to water-transform her left hand.

She shook herself haphazardly, and as some of the alcohol was released, she felt her dizziness subside slightly.

Tsunade urged her from the side, "Hurry up, hurry up! Train faster! Don't let me down... hiccup, I have high expectations for you, high expectations..."

The miracle happened!

Ino mobilized her chakra to stimulate cell growth and successfully revived a saury that was on the verge of death.

Her Yang attribute on her panel was also activated, and her current Yang Release level is lv1.

Of the seven ninja attributes, she already possesses five: water, earth, wind, yin, and yang chakra attributes, only lacking fire and lightning.

She laughed triumphantly, "It's done?! It's done! I told you I'm a genius, there's no reason I'd be stuck with such a basic spell card for so many days! Hahahaha—Great! Let's keep drinking!"

Tsunade shouted outside, "Hey! Boss, bring me some drinks! You know me, right? Put all the drinks on Jiraiya's tab, hiccup, on Jiraiya's tab, the white-haired guy from last time."

……

Five days later, Jiraiya came to pay for the drinks.

Tsunade's group of three and one pig were all quite drunk.

As for the fact that Tsunade had another drunkard on her side, he... had expected it all along! These days, it's not easy to learn to be good, but it's easy to learn to be bad.
