Naruto: My setting is above yours.

After eating and drinking his fill and saying goodbye, Genma got up and returned to his study to continue studying ninjutsu.

Before they knew it, it was 10 a.m., and the sound of silence outside startled Xuanma awake.

I got up and went to the living room window to look out, and I saw Jingyin standing downstairs.

"Wait a mininute!"

After being called out, Xuanma immediately changed into a blue and white hooded trench coat and went downstairs.

"Xuanma, why didn't you go to the hospital today?"

"Silently asked."

Genma quickly apologized, "I'm sorry, I was studying at home today, so I didn't go."

Shizune immediately waved her hand to indicate that she didn't mind, and then smiled and said, "Genma, Lady Tsunade is still waiting for us, let's go together!"

Genma was startled: "Lady Tsunade is planning to teach me medical ninjutsu?"

Shizune nodded, then spoke up for Tsunade: "Lady Tsunade may look a bit fierce, but she's actually a very nice person. Um... please don't mind her."

Genma chuckled upon hearing this: "I don't think Lady Tsunade is fierce at all."

Yeah, actually, she's quite fierce.

You can't even see their faces.

Severing the negative thoughts in his mind, Genma said to Shizune, "Let's go!"

Shizune nodded, and then, with Genma in tow, the two of them walked through the snow to Tsunade's house.

Genma was struck by the grandeur of Tsunade's residence; it wasn't a typical multi-story house, but rather a massive courtyard.

But the courtyard also had a sense of decay and lacked human presence.

When Genma met Tsunade, she was sitting at a table on a carpet, with writing brushes, ink, and scrolls on it, and a fireplace next to her to keep out the chill.

Upon seeing the two brats enter, Tsunade said, "Kids, I heard you're practicing medical ninjutsu to train your chakra control?"

Genma paused for a moment, then immediately realized that he knew this from Shizune, and nodded, saying, "That's right."

"Because I have no other means to further train my chakra control."

"In my opinion, chakra control is the most basic ability for a ninja, second only to chakra refining."

"My strong chakra control will make it much easier for me to learn other ninjutsu in the future."

Tsunade raised an eyebrow slightly upon hearing this: "Is this what your parents taught you?"

The ninja academy definitely doesn't teach this.

Genma shook his head: "Not entirely."

"Chakra is the foundation of a ninja. Ninjutsu, genjutsu, and taijutsu are all, in the end, the application of chakra by a ninja."

"Application equals control."

"Just like when we eat with chopsticks, we can eat smoothly if we can control the chopsticks skillfully."

Upon hearing this, Tsunade immediately became less nonchalant.

It's truly remarkable to have such insight at this age.

Even in the ninja world, many Chunin are unaware of these things.

He's definitely a very clever kid.

After thinking for a moment, Tsunade asked, "What kind of technique do you want to learn from me?"

Can I choose any option?

Genma was a little surprised, but he also understood Tsunade's underlying meaning.

She doesn't take on apprentices.

Genma thought for a moment, then instead of answering immediately, he sat down opposite Tsunade and asked, "Lady Tsunade, where do you see the difference between my current medical ninjutsu and yours?"

Tsunade frowned: "What do you mean?"

Genma pondered for a moment, then asked in a different way: "For example, with healing techniques, if we use the same amount of chakra to treat wounds of the same size and depth, will the effect be different?"

Strange idea.

Is such a comparison meaningful?

This was Tsunade's subconscious thought.

However, since she was going to teach something, she thought about the problem and said, "Although you have set conditions, it is not enough."

"Although I haven't witnessed your medical skills yet, you probably can't reach my level in terms of chakra control."

"You should know very well that the precision of chakra control has a great impact on the treatment effect."

Genma nodded and then asked, "What about under the same chakra control precision?"

Tsunade seemed to be thinking for a moment, then said, "If it's a limited ninjutsu, there's no difference."

Shizune sat down next to Genma and asked curiously, "Why make this comparison?"

Genma didn't answer Shizune, but looked at Tsunade and said, "So it's the technique itself that limits Lady Tsunade's performance."

Tsunade nodded: "You could say that, so I no longer use healing techniques, but instead use the more powerful Palm Healing Technique."

"You're asking these questions because you want to know the difference in the level of Yang Release nature transformation between you and me, right?"

Xuanma nodded.

Putting aside other factors, the Wind Release nature transformations he is familiar with have very clear strengths and weaknesses.

Cutting leaves and cutting waterfalls involves more than just the difference in the amount of chakra.

Moreover, the difficulty of ninjutsu is generally judged in two dimensions.

One is a change in form, and the other is a change in property.

For example, the Rasengan doesn't change its properties; it's purely a change in form, or perhaps it has reached an extremely profound level in this aspect.

The Wind Release: Rasenshuriken, on the other hand, incorporates the ultimate Wind Release nature transformation on top of its powerful form transformation.

Therefore, even a half-finished product is of S-level difficulty.

Since Wind Release has such differences in its nature, then Yang Release must also have them.

However, none of the three medical ninjutsu that Genma currently possesses involve gradient changes in nature transformation.

In other words, the requirements for nature transformation are the same for hemostasis techniques, healing techniques, and lesion extraction techniques; the only differences are the chakra output, the precision of control, and the form transformation.

Genma also possesses some information regarding the relative strengths and weaknesses of the Yang Release nature transformations.

Hashirama Senju, Karin, her mother, and the Sage of Six Paths.

Let's not even talk about the Six Paths Immortal.

Hashirama Senju's self-healing ability without hand seals allows Karin to quickly recover from injuries and restore chakra after being bitten.

Having mastered the Yin Seal and combined it with the Hundred Healings Technique, Tsunade, who can perform Creation Rebirth, also possesses the ability to heal herself without seals.

However, Madara's assessment was that Tsunade in this state was still inferior to Hashirama Senju.

Is it because my chakra is inferior?

If that's the case, Madara Uchiha definitely wouldn't have made that assessment.

While the amount of chakra certainly affects the effectiveness of a technique, Genma keenly observed the contrast in the strength of their Yang Release nature transformations by comparing these individuals.

So this is what Genma wanted to learn from Tsunade.

Tsunade realized his purpose and said, "If you want to deepen your training in nature transformation, you can learn the Palm Healing Technique."

"Mastering this technique will allow you to further improve your Yang Release nature transformation."

Genma immediately asked, "Lady Tsunade, is there no other way to directly cultivate nature transformation?"

Tsunade scoffed: "Do you have a more direct way to train your chakra control?"

Okay, that makes sense.

Genma nodded, then asked, "Then, Lady Tsunade, can't you use a Yang Release nature transformation at the level of Healing Palm Technique to cast a healing jutsu?"

Silent was completely bewildered.

Chapter 8 The Root

Tsunade fell into deep thought.

She understood what the brat meant.

Genma asked this because of Tsunade's condition during her battle with Edo Tensei Madara.

With the Yin Seal broken and the Hundred Healings Technique applied, creation and regeneration can be achieved, allowing any injury to heal rapidly, even one with a pierced heart.

However, this state has a drawback: even very small wounds will heal rapidly through rapid cell division.

This leads to two problems: excessive chakra consumption and shortened lifespan due to excessive cell division.

That is, overtreatment!

So why does this happen?

Is it because Tsunade is unable to control her chakra usage in this state?

This is obviously impossible.

Xuanma believes that the key lies in the intensity of the change in the Yang-element nature corresponding to the Creation and Regeneration technique.

Tsunade was unable to freely adjust the strength of her Yang Release nature transformation, resulting in the overtreatment of minor wounds and the consumption of more chakra.

Furthermore, Hashirama Senju's self-healing without hand seals is likely a passive process, according to Genma's speculation.

It is a sage body originating from the Sage of Six Paths.

This is the same as Karin's special constitution; Karin is also unable to control her own abilities.

Their Yang Escape technique is inherently at an extremely high level.

Of course, these are speculations made by Xuanma based on intelligence and his own cultivation.
