Naruto: My setting is above yours.

That's why I asked Tsunade that question today.

Tsunade was deep in thought when Shizune whispered, "Using a Yang Release nature transformation at the level of Healing Palm Technique would inevitably require the use of chakra of a corresponding intensity, so why not just use Healing Palm Technique directly?"

"Even if healing techniques have lower requirements for chakra control, achieving the level of Yang Release nature transformation like Healing Palm Technique still requires the same level of chakra control."

That's exactly right. That's why Xuanma's question just now left Shizune completely bewildered. It was utterly unreasonable and pointless.

Genma smiled, then raised his right palm, which glowed with green chakra: "Shizune, this is Yang Release chakra. In terms of nature transformation, is it different from yours?"

Silently examined the sensation carefully, then shook her head.

Genma looked at Tsunade: "Lady Tsunade, can you demonstrate a stronger Yang Release nature transformation than me in this way?"

Tsunade's gaze towards Genma had changed: this brat was indeed different.

She had to admit that the kid had piqued her interest.

"Not now, but give me some time, it shouldn't be a problem."

Tsunade was very confident in herself.

Jingyin, being a clever child, suddenly exclaimed, "If we succeed, will we be able to use the Palm Immortal Technique without a seal?"

Tsunade nodded: "It can be performed without hand seals."

But the most crucial point isn't in that aspect, though there's no need to explain it to Shizune now; her comprehension isn't sufficient yet.

When Xuanma heard Jingyin mention hand seals, he immediately thought of Indra, who created them.

What is the purpose of a seal?

To enable ninjas to better perform ninjutsu.

So where does this manifest itself?

Changes in form and change in properties!

Therefore, Genma's repeated questioning of Tsunade was actually a pursuit of the essence of Yang Release nature transformation becoming stronger without hand seals.

Just like the nature transformation of Wind Release.

Tsunade was also intrigued and picked up a scroll from the table, handing it to Genma: "This is the scroll for the Chakra Scalpel. It doesn't have many requirements for nature transformation; the main focus is on shape transformation and chakra control."

"Mastering this technique will greatly enhance your chakra control."

"I'll teach you what you just mentioned after I've mastered it."

Genma didn't stand on ceremony and reached out to take it, saying, "Thank you, Lady Tsunade."

Tsunade waved her hand and then shooed him away: "You should cultivate on your own first. If you don't understand anything, come and ask me. Go now!"

Xuanma got up, said goodbye, and left.

Then Shizune was sent off to train on her own, and Tsunade took a deep breath and began her long-awaited training.

……

"Tsunade is currently the strongest medical ninja in the ninja world, her talent is self-evident, she should be able to handle it, right?"

After leaving Tsunade's house, Genma looked back one last time.

He was really looking forward to Tsunade's results.

Turning his gaze away, Xuanma quickly returned home and entered his study.

He opened the scroll and read it carefully.

The difficulty level of the Chakra Scalpel is A-rank, which is equivalent to the difficulty of a Jonin.

Moreover, this is a ninjutsu without a hand seal.

As Tsunade said, the only difficulty for him lay in shape transformation and chakra control.

"It really suits me."

Xuanma smiled and then began his cultivation with great enthusiasm.

……

Winter passed and spring came. Before they knew it, the spring break of Konoha 43 had ended, and Genma officially became a third-year student at the Ninja Academy.

"You rascal, you actually had a trick up your sleeve."

Xuanma opened his mouth and exhaled smoke, his hair standing on end.

He was electrocuted.

Kakashi, on the other side, showed no remorse whatsoever, and declared confidently, "Don't forget, intelligence warfare is also one of the battles of a ninja."

He had just mastered the Lightning Release: Nature Transformation, so he tested it on his friend Genma, and it seemed to work well, although he didn't manage to knock Genma out with electricity.

"That's true, since that's the case..."

No sooner had he finished speaking than, two moments later, Genma suddenly appeared behind Kakashi, pressing a kunai against his neck.

A tingling sensation ran down Kakashi's scalp, and his body stiffened involuntarily.

Then he saw Xuanma, whose hair had been standing on end from the electric shock, explode into smoke and disappear with a bang.

Kakashi's eyes widened instantly: "Shadow Clone Technique?"

"When?"

Genma took the kunai.

This was the first time he had used the Substitution Jutsu during a sparring match with Kakashi.

Kakashi turned around and saw that Genma had marks left by a lightning attack, immediately overturning his previous assumption.

The lightning attack was indeed aimed at the main body.

So what just happened?

Is it a combination of clones and illusions?

Genma smiled but didn't explain. He waved his hand and said, "That's enough for today."

"Speaking of which, you've already mastered two types of property changes. It seems I need to work even harder to surpass you."

Kakashi retorted, "Is there anyone who works harder than you?"

The two most energetic people of his generation were Genma and Kai, keeping him constantly on the go.

"Besides, you have mastered two nature transformations and just used three genjutsu. I only have mastered one ninjutsu, Lightning Release."

Kakashi added.

Xuanma became unhappy when this was mentioned: "My illusions are completely useless against you."

This is very awkward.

Kakashi easily saw through the three illusions.

The skill ceiling for illusions is indeed quite low.

Of course, although Kakashi has not yet graduated, his qualities in all aspects are among the best even in the Chunin group.

So low-level illusions are only good for bullying weak opponents?

Seeing his friend's frustrated expression, Kakashi thought for a moment and suggested, "Your talent in genjutsu is higher than your talent in medical ninjutsu, so why don't you try developing your own genjutsu?"

Genma raised an eyebrow: "You're planning to develop your own ninjutsu?"

Kakashi twitched his eye: "You're... way too sensitive!"

Xuanma guessed correctly!

Although his father was proficient in Lightning Release, he did not master many Lightning Release ninjutsu, but was good at combining Lightning Release with chakra blades.

Therefore, he had the idea of ​​developing his own lightning ninjutsu.

Of course, the key point is a quote from his father, Sakumo Hatake: "What suits you best is the best!"

Sakumo Hatake believed in his son's talent, which is why he provided this guidance.

After all, Kakashi, who is still young, has plenty of time to try.

Chapter 9 added

Develop your own illusion magic?

On his way home, Genma seriously considered Kakashi's suggestion.

Perhaps we could give it a try.

However, first, a complete and feasible idea is needed before the development of the technique can be completed by using seals to assist in the transformation of properties and forms.

He returned home without realizing it. His parents hadn't come home from get off work yet. After washing up and changing his clothes, Xuanma went to the study.

Xuanma plopped down, opened the [Settings] to check his cultivation progress over the past period, but suddenly froze, then cried out and jumped up.

The original setting of 0 suddenly changed to 3.

Xuanma immediately scrolled down and saw the log at the very bottom.

Log: April 25, Konoha Year 43, Tsunade's training has made a leap forward thanks to your inspiration, and you have gained 3 points of setting value.

Nearly five months have passed, and Tsunade has finally achieved results!

Moreover, it represents a leap forward in improvement.

Will it be as I imagine?

Genma was eager to know Tsunade's results, but his soul was immediately drawn away by the 3 points of the setting value.

The last time I modified the Substitution Jutsu, it used 1 point of the setting value. Now I have 3 points. I've never fought a battle with such a surplus of points!
