Konoha: Offer your heart to the Hokage!

Mito nodded slightly. "There are many types of sealing techniques. Which one do you want to learn? If you're unsure, just tell me your idea of ​​using sealing techniques for medical purposes, and I will teach you the appropriate one according to your needs."

After a moment of thought, Shen Er slowly said, "I have encountered ninjas who were mentally out of control due to genjutsu and also had external injuries. The injured person would uncontrollably refine chakra, which would conflict with my medical chakra, causing secondary damage."

"I want to learn a sealing technique that can interfere with the target's generation of a large amount of chakra, allowing only a small amount of chakra to flow. Once the threshold is exceeded, it will cause the body to become disordered and unable to refine chakra."

Set the chakra required to activate Izanagi to a threshold.

Furthermore, it is necessary to ensure that Uchiha Yan's chakra level is below this safety threshold.

After a moment's thought, Mito Uzumaki quickly replied, "This is not difficult; the Five Elements Seal perfectly suits your requirements."

Mito then began to explain the Five Elements Seal:

This is an A-rank sealing technique. It uses the five fingers to inject chakra to construct a sealing pattern, which can disrupt the original sealing structure within the target's body, while interfering with chakra generation and the activation of specific ninjutsu. Only the Five Elements Unsealing Technique can remove it.

Shen Er listened very attentively.

The Five Elements Seal has a very high priority. In the original work, Orochimaru used this technique to destroy the Four Symbols Seal on Naruto.

This is exactly the kind of technique he needs.

“I’ll demonstrate for you.” Mito Uzumaki raised both hands simultaneously, her ten fingers igniting with blue and purple chakra respectively. “Purple represents the seal, blue represents the release…”

Teaching time passed quickly, and it was already evening in the blink of an eye.

Even though Shen'er's Yin Escape technique was superior to that of ordinary people, after learning an A-level sealing technique for half a day, he still felt dizzy and disoriented.

Despite his exhaustion, he ultimately achieved a breakthrough in sealing techniques, going from zero to one.

Shen Er mentally deduced that his progress should be like this:

【Five Elements Seal】

[Progress: 1/100]

Shen'er was in a good mood after leaving the Senju clan's territory.

Sealing techniques are distinct from ninjutsu and are a unique category with extremely high difficulty.

Being able to master the A-level Five Elements Sealing Technique proves that he possesses considerable talent in sealing techniques.

“Yin Seal, Four Symbols Seal, Inner Four Symbols Seal, Contract Seal…” Shen Er sighed, “Learning has no end.”

Walking on the way back to the Zen temple's clan territory.

Then, she ran into Uchiha Chiri, who had also just finished get off work, and greeted her, "Miss Chiri."

“It’s Mr. Shin.” Zhili stopped and walked towards him.

"Want to go to Ichiraku Ramen for a meal together?" Shen said, pulling out a brand-new Ichiraku free meal voucher from his pocket and waving it: "I have a free meal voucher."

In the eyes of Konoha villagers, including Hashirama, Shen has always been a living saint.

He is of high moral character and strict with himself.

This halo carries reverence, yet it also creates a barrier of inaccessible holiness.

Only when a character occasionally reveals their human side, showing flesh and blood, can they be considered complete.

Their bond with him is even deeper.

Uchiha Chiri paused for a moment, then smiled and said, "Inviting a girl to dinner and choosing ramen is not a very civilized thing to do, you know."

"It seems that even you have shortcomings."

"But since it was you who invited me, let's go."

Jiri stepped forward and walked side by side with Jin toward Ichiraku Ramen.

"How's your recovery going?" Shen asked.

"The Ninja Academy principal's job is very stable; I don't need to go out on combat missions. I don't need to activate my Sharingan, and with your treatment, my eyes have felt much better recently."

"Yes, that's a good thing."

The Mangekyou Sharingan is the eye that reflects the soul; it is an awakened eye technique that is related to the personality of its user.

Whether you infer the eye technique from the personality, or use the eye technique to glimpse the mind, you can see that Chiri, who has mastered Izanami, has a calm, peaceful, gentle, and compliant personality.

Unlike most Uchiha, she sought a peaceful life.

This was noticed during the last follow-up visit.

Chiri experienced neither pain nor battle; she simply worked peacefully at the Ninja Academy, yet her eye power quietly improved.

This is a terrifying yet enviable talent.

The curtain of the ramen shop was lifted by Shen Er.

Yi Le poked her head out and, upon seeing Shen Er, immediately broke into a warm smile: "Lord Shen Er, you're here again!"

"Boss Yi Le, just call me Shen Er." Shen Er waved the free coupon in her hand. "I'm using this coupon again today, you don't mind, do you?"

"How could that be!" Yi Le waved his hand. "I'm overjoyed that you're willing to come here. Many villagers have heard that you often come here, so they all come to eat here, and business is even better."

As he spoke, his gaze swept over Shen'er's back, and he saw Uchiha Chiri accompanying him. He teased, "Huh? Shen'er, is this the first time you've brought a girl along?"

"I'll cover both of your expenses today."

"Serve our two distinguished guests two bowls of our signature tonkotsu, plus an extra serving of char siu and a soft-boiled egg! Oh, and we also have the newly launched yakitori for two."

"Another case of Qilin wine, please!"

Chapter 20 I can't deceive women.

"Another case of Qilin wine, please!"

This sentence was added by Uchiha Osamu himself.

She didn't mind Yile's jokes.

Under Ichiraku's enthusiastic arrangement, Shinji and Uchiha Chiri were led to a private room. A thin curtain separated them from the noise outside, providing a bit of privacy.

Zhili picked up the bottle and waved it in front of Shen'er: "Want to have a couple of drinks with me?"

The Uchiha clan has a high reliance on alcohol due to their highly emotional nature. Many members even openly state that drinking is a unique form of training for the Uchiha. The stimulation from alcohol is believed to aid in the growth of their eye power.

Even Chiri is no exception when it comes to drinking.

“Yes, but I can only drink a little.” Shen’er said sincerely, “If I drink too much, the alcohol will affect my brain and may interfere with the efficiency of the surgery the next day. I need to be responsible for the patients.”

"Then have a drink with me."

Zhili expressed her understanding.

She understood that Shen'er was truly busy, so busy she barely had time to breathe. Apart from taking her to follow-up appointments and going home to sleep, she spent the rest of her time either at the hospital or at school, with no time for herself at all.

Even so, he was still willing to take the time to have a couple of drinks with me.

Looking at the figure opposite him, Zhili silently thought to himself: He is indeed a friend worth making.

"cheers!"

The wine glasses clinked gently, producing a crisp and pleasant sound.

She sipped it slowly.

Uchiha Chiri tilted his head back and downed the bright orange ale in one gulp, making a gurgling sound in his throat.

"I'm sorry for being rude." Zhili took out a tissue and wiped her mouth.

She smiled gently: "It's alright, Miss Chiri looks beautiful when she drinks. As the principal of the Ninja Academy, you need to maintain a dignified demeanor, so it's good to relax a bit after get off work."

Suddenly, Zhili said, "Could it be considered that we've exchanged a side of each other that no one else knows about?"

"I can tell that Miss Chiri isn't as cold as she seems. So what is this side of me that no one else knows?"

"I thought you only ate military rations or the kind of precision nutrition meals provided by the hospital. I never expected you to eat ramen."

Zhili is the type who blushes quickly; after just one glass of wine, his cheeks were already flushed with a light red, and his tone of voice became much more casual.

“That kind of life is too boring.” Shen Er chuckled. “When it comes to food, I have my own preferences. Ichiraku Ramen is really delicious. In all my travels in the ninja world, it ranks in the top three.”

Chiri reached out and refilled their glasses. "Shin-kun, would you mind telling me about your past? Just how many sights have those eyes seen?"

"I thought you would ask about the condition of teachers Yusuke and Masayuki."

Zhili paused in his drink, then said fiercely, "You really have no sense of romance!"

"I'm sorry, but before we talk about the distant past, I prefer to clarify each other's current situations first."

Shen Er said sincerely, "During this time, three patients with organ failure were given a new lease on life thanks to the two teachers. I thank you on their behalf, and I also thank the Uchiha clan."

Uchiha Chiri sighed, downed the sake in his cup in one gulp, his voice tinged with melancholy:

"Understood, I will pass this on to their family. Actually, if it weren't for me..."

Before she could continue, Shen Er, contrary to his usual behavior, rudely interrupted her:

"There is no need to regret your decision, let alone feel guilty."

"Any choice made after careful consideration is the only correct answer from the moment it is made. The so-called right or wrong is just a concept imposed by others."

"you……"

Chiri pondered Shen'er's words, and said blankly, "You didn't say that just to comfort me, did you?"

"I can't do something like deceiving women."

After speaking calmly, Shen Er clapped his hands together, and with a "smack," pulled the dazed Zhili back to reality.

"Next, let me tell you about my past. Since coming to Konoha, I have never told anyone about it."

“When I was young, I stepped on an explosive tag planted by the enemy, which caused an explosion. My mother was seriously injured while protecting me. She died after being taken to the hospital, and I was also on the verge of death. Fortunately, I met a very skilled doctor who saved my life with his excellent medical skills.”

"From that moment on, I made two vows: to become the greatest doctor and to end the chaos of the world..."

Shen Er remained unfazed and shared the story he had just made up.

One case of liquor, two bowls of noodles.

This sitting lasted the entire night.

Zhili rested her chin on her hand, tilted her head, and kept her gaze fixed on Shen'er's face as she listened.

At one point, she suddenly felt her cheeks burning and looked away.
