Konoha: Intentionally losing to Hinata at the start

However, these ninjas somehow managed to extract chakra from the blood of human beings.

Although the amount of chakra absorbed through this method is small, it can be converted into one's own chakra, just like the chakra cultivated through one's own practice.

However, this method is too inefficient, and no one would actually do it.

Many ninjas would absolutely not allow a ninja to use such methods.

Uzuki Yugao frowned. "Do you know what methods those ninjas used?"

Although Uzuki Yugao escaped from the town of the Land of Grass, all she knew was that those ninjas would become stronger by absorbing blood.

Although they are both Chunin, they are much stronger than the Chunin of the Anbu.

Whether in terms of speed, strength, or reaction ability, they are unmatched by any other ninja of the same level.

However, Uzuki Yugao had not figured out a solution at all.

She had no clue what was going on, nor did she understand why the blood could make them stronger.

While untying the bandages on Uzuki Yugao's chest, Yu Ming calmly said, "Yes, I learned about it when I was learning medical ninjutsu. There is a kind of medical ninjutsu that can transfer the chakra in the blood to one's own body. This chakra in the blood can be integrated into the chakra in the user's body."

"Moreover, the stronger the target of the blood absorption, the more chakra feedback you will receive."

"However, this is a very insidious ninjutsu, and it is also forbidden in medical ninjutsu."

"Do they behave the same as normal humans after absorbing blood?"

Uzuki Yugao shook her head. "No, their physical strength, speed, power, and reaction speed are much stronger than those of normal humans."

Yu Ming laughed and said, "That's because the chakra has already modified their physical strength. Don't forget, chakra comes from the cells in the human body."

"However, such modifications are limited. The extent of improvement depends on the individual's physical condition, and in most cases, the improvement will not exceed that of an ordinary person."

"The differences you mentioned must be because their physical strength was already quite good. I think they were probably a group of ninjas who trained in taijutsu from the beginning."

Uzuki Yugao's eyes lit up. "Yes, their taijutsu skills are extremely strong, but they use ninjutsu relatively little."

The wound on Uzuki Yugao's abdomen has been repaired and healed.

When she untied the bandage on Yuuko's chest, she knew that Yu Ming was still young and that Yu Ming had seen it before.

But she still blushed.

Yu Ming didn't have any ulterior motives; his main focus was on the treatment.

She unleashed palm techniques with both hands, and green healing chakra continuously flowed into her wounds, which were rapidly healing.

After Yuuka blushed for a while, Yu Ming wanted to ease her shyness.

"What are the village leaders planning to do? Abandon this mission?"

Uzuki Yugao's attention indeed shifted. "No, this mission was an A-rank mission, but it's now been upgraded to an S-rank mission. The village leadership is planning to send a new team to provide support, because the Land of Grass is right next to the Land of Fire, and we can't ignore it."

Chapter 50

"The Land of Grass doesn't have many Jonin, and it also needs to defend against external enemies, so it simply can't spare more Jonin to deal with this danger. Therefore, the Daimyo of the Land of Grass entrusted Konoha to handle it."

Yu Ming nodded. "However, it is actually very difficult to solve. Those ninjas who become stronger by absorbing blood are much stronger than ninjas of the same level. It is even possible for a Chunin to kill a Jonin."

"Moreover, they should have a technique that allows them to burn their own chakra and gain a ten-minute chakra surge. In that instant, an ordinary Chunin can possess Jonin-level chakra, and a Jonin possesses Kage-level chakra."

"So it's very difficult to deal with."

Uzuki Yugao paused for a moment, "They do have that ability. Our team lost three comrades, all of them Chunin, but we only managed to injure one of their Chunin. We're not even sure if that Chunin is dead or not."

"He suddenly used some kind of ninjutsu, and his strength increased dramatically. We couldn't stop him at all."

"The wounds on my body were inflicted by him with a kunai."

As Yu Ming cast the spell, he laughed and said, "Then he's definitely going to die. After that ninjutsu burns out its own chakra, even someone like the First Hokage would die."

This ninjutsu that burns chakra is actually burning life force.

Through blood-drinking, their vitality is already much stronger than others. Once their vitality is exhausted, even the most powerful chakra has no support.

They would surely die, even the First Generation would not escape it. On the contrary, the consequences would be even more severe for the First Generation, because his life force was too strong. So after he burned out, the life force he needed to replenish would be terrifying. At that time, it would probably be difficult to save him even by using the Samsara Rebirth Technique or Yang Release.

It's even more terrifying than opening the Eight Gates and burning yourself to a crisp.

Because even the soul must burn away.

Uzuki Yugao didn't know what the First Hokage was like, but she knew that Yu Ming meant that the person who surrounded and killed her companions was definitely dead.

Uzuki Yugao sighed, "It's all my fault. They were all trying to save me."

After treating her for more than ten minutes, Yu Ming finally finished the treatment, put the clothes on Uzuki Yugao, and smiled and said, "What they did was actually the most correct decision. After all, you are stronger than them and more likely to escape."

He put a ninja vest on Uzuki Yugao, squatted down, looked at Uzuki Yugao, and said, "So Yugao-nee, you don't need to blame yourself so much."

Uzuki Yugao gripped the edges of the ninja vest with both hands. "Is there no way to deal with ninjas like this?"

Yu Ming smiled and said, "Yes, it's very simple. Just kill them. They've just become stronger, not gods. They can't be killed."

"They will still die if they are slashed with a knife."

Uzuki Yugao frowned. "But according to what you said, they have three Jonin and five Chunin. If they really burn their chakra completely, Konoha would have to send out at least a ninja of Kakashi-senpai level to deal with them."

Uzuki Yugao now desperately wants to avenge her companions.

Yu Ming smiled and said, "That's true, but it's unlikely they'll expand their operations."

Uzuki Yugao looked at Yu Ming with some curiosity and asked, "Why?"

Although she didn't want the ninjas to expand their crimes, she was curious about their motives.

Yu Ming laughed and said, "Theoretically, if they want to advance from Jonin to Kage level, they would need the blood of an entire country, at least a million people. Putting aside whether they can get that much blood, how to extract that much blood and how much time it would take to extract it are huge problems."

"So they're probably already planning to flee, so if you want to eliminate them, you need to act sooner rather than later."

"Once those five Chunin are promoted to Jonin, they should run away."

"Eight Jonin, wherever they go, they are a powerful force."

"Although that method would shorten one's lifespan, the strength would be no different from that of a normal increase."

"So if they really succeed in converting eight Jonin, it will be very difficult to eliminate them."

To eliminate such a force, at least eight Jonin would be needed, and even a ninja village of the Five Great Ninja Villages would find it difficult to produce eight Jonin.

A Jonin is the top combatant of a ninja village.

However, this method of increasing strength requires absorbing the blood of 10,000 people just to advance from Chunin to Jonin, which is something no normal person would do.

The medical ninjas originally developed this method simply to save lives; who knew that someone would use it to harm others today?

Uzuki Yugao finally started to panic; she absolutely could not allow such a power to disappear.

After all, she still wanted revenge.

So Uzuki Yugao grabbed Yuming's hand and said, "Yuming, do you have any way to stop them?"

Yu Ming smiled bitterly, "Didn't I just say that the best way is to kill them? Besides, they don't live long anyway. Although their strength will increase dramatically when they are promoted from Chunin to Jonin, the price is that their lifespan will be shortened by more than thirty years."

"A normal person only has about ten or twenty years of life left to advance from Chunin to Jonin."

Hearing Yu Ming's words, Uzuki Yugao felt even more upset. "Ten or twenty years? That's too lenient on them. Ninjas are a profession with a short lifespan. How can we let them live for ten or twenty years?"

Uzuki Yugao stood up; her injuries had healed considerably.

Although the wound still hurts a bit, it no longer affects her fighting ability.

Seeing that Uzuki Yugao's face was pale, Yu Ming shook his head and took out a soldier's ration pill and put it into Uzuki Yugao's mouth.

These soldier pills were made by himself; they were small, tasted good, and even had healing effects.

Just as he was putting his hand into Yuuka's mouth, Yu Ming's hand touched Yuuka's lips.

This made Uzuki Yugao feel a little awkward.

Yu Ming didn't feel anything; they had been together for six years, and he was used to her presence.

"Don't be in such a hurry. The village will make a decision. What's the rush for you, a mere squad leader in the secret service?"

"Didn't you just say that the village has upgraded this mission to an S-rank mission? The village will definitely send a stronger ninja to take over it."

"So you can definitely avenge your teammates."

Uzuki Yugao is now about the same height as Yu Ming. Yu Ming is 1.7 meters tall, while Uzuki Yugao is 1.69 meters tall.

The two are visually indistinguishable in height.

Uzuki Yugao looked at Yu Ming with some resentment, "I need to report what you just said to the village, otherwise blindly going there will definitely cause even greater casualties."

Yu Ming did not object to this matter.

"Before you report it, you can ask the director of Konoha Hospital. He should know about this ninjutsu. Just don't say that I told you."

Uzuki Yugao smiled and said, "Okay, I know what you're thinking. Don't worry, I won't say you told me."

Chapter 51

After agreeing to Yu Ming's request, Uzuki Yugao went to the Hokage Building to report the news to the Third Hokage.

This matter made the Third Hokage very serious, especially after he inquired with the director of Konoha Hospital that the ninjutsu truly existed, he took it very seriously.

He was genuinely surprised when the director of Konoha Hospital said they might be able to produce eight Jonin.

Then the Third Hokage summoned Kakashi, Yamato, and Guy.

None of the three of them had any missions on them.

Adding Uzuki Yugao to the mix, the Third Hokage looked at the four of them solemnly and said, "According to what Uzuki Yugao said, these ninjas pose a great threat to the Land of Fire, so we must eliminate them."

"But this mission will be very threatening, so I hope you have thought it through."

Kakashi and Yamato both possess the strength of elite Jonin, while Guy usually has the strength of an ordinary Jonin. Although he is not good at genjutsu or ninjutsu, he is still very strong.

As for Uzuki Yugao, she requested to participate herself.

Because Yu Ming had already healed her injuries.

After understanding the situation, Kakashi nodded and said, "This kind of ninja must be eliminated. I'm willing to go."

Yamato nodded. "This mission was originally our Anbu's responsibility, so please rest assured, Hokage-sama."

Kai laughed and said, "This kind of shady ninja should never be tolerated. I will make him tremble with my Konoha Steel Whirlwind."

Uzuki Yugao said, "My previous teammates kept me alive, and this time I must avenge those three."
