This week’s special lesson for the medical class focused on training the students’ chakra control.
The methods were the most classic ones, tree climbing and water walking.
By the end of it, everyone looked worn out and covered in dust.
Takayuki got up from the ground and brushed off his clothes.
He had always thought medical ninjas only needed to work gracefully in hospitals, so he hadn’t expected the training to be this rough.
When class ended, he walked up to Toji.
“Toji-sensei, my father asked you to come to our house after class.” Toji nodded slightly.
“Got it.
I’ll head over now.” Then he turned to the class.
“Wakako, I’m leaving this to you.
Keep an eye on everyone and continue training.
Starting today, everyone stays one extra hour after school.
I’ll check next week.” * * * Hashirama was still working at the Hokage building, while Tobirama was away on a mission in the Land of Lightning.
With both familiar faces absent, the one who received Toji was Toka.
After walking through a long corridor, he finally met Mito.
Seeing the red-haired woman, Toji recalled information about the Uzumaki clan.
They were born with immense chakra reserves and were masters of powerful fūinjutsu.
The village they founded, Uzushiogakure, was an ally of Konoha.
In the future, Konoha would place their symbol on the back of its flak jackets to honor that enduring bond.
Back when he was still in Takigakure, he had once accepted a mission to hunt down an Uzumaki ninja.
In the end, he killed the client instead, which led to the mission being canceled.
That way, he avoided directly clashing with the Uzumaki clan.
Toji had always been cautious.
He would never gamble on whether his target might use the Reaper Death Seal.
“Mito-sama.” His manners remained flawless.
At this time, Mito had not yet become the Nine-Tails jinchuriki.
She did not possess the ability to sense malice, which saved him quite a bit of trouble.
That kind of ability was too abstract.
He couldn’t be sure his thoughts would stay completely hidden.
“Toji, you’re here.” Mito smiled and nodded.
“Hashirama already told me everything.
You want to learn fūinjutsus for medical use.” “Yes, Mito-sama.” “Normally, fūinjutsus are secret arts of the Uzumaki clan.
If they were to spread, it could cause unimaginable consequences in the ninja world.
But I’ve seen what you’ve done for Konoha.
I trust you will use them properly.” “I will devote myself to applying fūinjutsu to medical purposes.” Mito nodded slightly.
“There are many types of fūinjutsus.
Which kind do you want to learn?
If you’re unsure, tell me your intended use in medical practice.
I’ll teach you something suitable.” Toji thought for a moment, then spoke slowly.
“I once encountered a ninja who had fallen under a genjutsu and lost control of their mind, while also suffering physical injuries.
The patient kept producing chakra uncontrollably, which conflicted with my medical chakra and caused further damage.” “I want to learn a fūinjutsu that can interfere with chakra production.
It should allow only a small amount of chakra to flow.
Once it exceeds a threshold, the body becomes unstable and cannot refine chakra.” He would set that threshold to the amount needed to activate Izanagi.
He needed to ensure Yanagi’s chakra stayed below that line.
Mito considered it briefly, then said, “That’s not difficult.
The Five Elements Seal fits your needs perfectly.” She then began explaining the technique.
This was an A-rank sealing jutsu.
By injecting chakra through all five fingers, a sealing formula was constructed.
It could disrupt the target’s existing seal structure, interfere with chakra generation, and even affect the activation of certain jutsus.
Only the Five Elements Unseal could remove it.
Toji listened carefully.
The Five Elements Seal had a very high priority.
In the original story, Orochimaru used this exact technique to disrupt the Four Symbols Seal on Naruto.
This was exactly the kind of jutsu he needed.
“I’ll show you.” Mito raised both hands as blue and purple chakra ignited at her fingertips.
“Purple represents sealing.
Blue represents unsealing.” The lesson passed quickly, and before he knew it, it was already evening.
Even though Toji’s Yin Release was stronger than most, spending half a day learning an A-rank fūinjutsu still left him dizzy.
His mind was tired, but he had finally crossed the first step in fūinjutsu.
In his head, he estimated his progress.
[Five Elements Seal] [Progress: 1/100] * * * As Toji walked out of the Senju compound, he was in a good mood.
Fūinjutsus were completely different from regular ninjutsu.
They formed their own system and were extremely difficult.
Just getting started with an A-rank jutsu proved he had decent talent.
“Yin Seal, Four Symbols Seal, Reverse Four Symbols Seal, Contract Seal…” Toji murmured.
“There’s no end to learning.” On his way back to the Zenin compound, he ran into Naori, who had just finished work as well.
“Miss Naori.” “Oh, Toji.” She stopped and walked toward him.
“Want to grab a bowl at Ichiraku Ramen?” He pulled out his well-preserved lifetime free meal coupon and waved it.
“I’ve got a free pass.” In the eyes of the villagers, including Hashirama, Toji was almost like a living saint.
Noble in character.
Strict with himself.
That image naturally inspired admiration, but it also created a gap.
It made him hard to approach.
Every now and then, showing a more human side made him feel real.
It deepened the bonds people had with him.
Naori blinked, then smiled.
“Inviting a girl to dinner and choosing ramen isn’t exactly refined, Toji.
Seems even you have your careless moments… but since it’s you asking, let’s go.” She stepped forward and walked beside him toward Ichiraku Ramen.
“How have you been recovering lately?” Toji asked on the way.
“My work as the academy principal is quite stable.
No need to go on combat missions.
I don’t have to activate my Sharingan, and with your treatment, my eyes have been feeling much better recently.” “That’s good to hear.” The Mangekyo Sharingan was a reflection of the heart.
The abilities it awakened were tied closely to the user’s personality.
Whether deducing personality from abilities or the other way around, Toji could tell that Naori, who possessed Izanagi, had a calm and gentle nature.
Unlike most Uchiha, what she sought was a peaceful life.
He had already noticed that during her last follow-up visit.
Naori hadn’t gone through pain or battle.
She simply worked steadily at the academy, yet her eye power was quietly improving.
That kind of talent was both terrifying and enviable.
Soon, the two had reached their destination.
Toji went ahead and lifted the curtain of the ramen shop.
Ichiraku peeked out, and when he saw Toji, his face lit up.
“Toji-sama, you’re here again!” “Just call me Toji.” He waved the coupon.
“I’m using this again today.
You don’t mind, do you?” “Of course not!” Ichiraku laughed and waved his hand.
“I’m happy you come here.
Ever since people heard you visit often, more villagers have been coming too.
Business has been great.” Then his eyes shifted behind Toji, landing on Naori.
He grinned.
“Oh?
This is the first time you’ve brought a lady along.
Today, everything for the two of you is on the house.” “Two signature tonkotsu ramen, extra chashu and soft-boiled eggs for the two guests!” ** ** ** Thank you for reading!
