Unfortunately, Kakashi would never have the chance to return the gifts.
Obito and Rin Nohara would remain chunin forever.
Speaking of which, once they returned, he himself should be promoted to chunin too.
So should he accept a few gifts as well?
Qingyuan thought of this.
“By the way, when you were promoted to chunin, did anyone give you a gift?”
Qingyuan asked Renegade Qingyuan.
“I don’t have the free time you do. Improving my own strength is what matters.”
Renegade Qingyuan shook his head.
He pursued power above all else—otherwise, he would not have defected with Orochimaru.
“All right, all right, stop arguing, everyone. We’re about to enter Grass Country.”
Minato Namikaze said.
At the far end of the meadow stood the Mushroom Forest, its ancient trees towering into the sky.
The mushrooms there all grew on the trees, each one larger than a house.
“We’ll rest for a while now. I’ll travel with you today, but I have to leave tomorrow.”
Minato Namikaze said.
The situation at the front was not optimistic.
He had to hurry to provide support.
“Yes.”
Everyone answered in unison.
After finding another concealed place and resting there, Qingyuan began practicing the “Detoxification Jutsu” and the “Hemostasis Jutsu.”
The “Hemostasis Jutsu” was very simple—essentially, it was stitching.
First, use suture thread to stitch up the wounds in the skin.
Then, during battle, concentrate chakra at the wound to keep it from splitting open because of excessive movement.
The other, the “Detoxification Jutsu,” was somewhat more difficult.
It required using chakra to separate toxins from the blood.
Generally, two liquids of different densities would be poured into a cup for practice.
Qingyuan used coffee and milk.
To make marching easier, Qingyuan had brought only a small amount.
After mixing the coffee and milk in the cup, Qingyuan began using chakra to control the liquid inside.
Whoosh…
The liquid spun continuously, somehow evoking plasmolysis.
Renegade Qingyuan, meanwhile, stood behind Qingyuan and watched him practice.
“Hey, Qingyuan, you know medical ninjutsu too?”
Rin Nohara, who was resting, turned her head and immediately saw what Qingyuan was doing.
“Yeah, I’ve only just started learning.”
Qingyuan nodded.
Rin Nohara was a medical ninja, so she had done all this before.
“Qingyuan, if you do it this way, you should be able to do it faster…”
Seeing this, Rin Nohara walked over and told Qingyuan the trick.
Qingyuan listened carefully, occasionally adjusting his movements according to Rin Nohara’s instructions.
After taking the forbidden drug, his chakra reserves had doubled from their original level.
So his chakra shortage had eased somewhat, and spending some of it on training was no problem.
“If only I could get a few more kinds of forbidden drugs.”
Qingyuan thought to himself.
Of course, forbidden drugs could not be stacked infinitely, but by taking several different kinds, he could probably raise his chakra reserves to the level of a Kage or an elite jonin.
According to Renegade Qingyuan, there were several other drugs like these.
They could completely unleash the body’s potential while causing very few side effects.
Sasuke probably used this very combination.
The only pity was that Renegade Qingyuan did not know the formulas either; he was not high enough in the inner circle.
This reminded Qingyuan of the fitness world in his previous life, where bad news surfaced every so often.
Go straight for Nine-Dragon Body Tempering and ascend to the Steroid Planet.
If you wanted to build a truly muscular physique, you had to juice.
The ninja world was no different.
The most legendary juicer in the ninja world was Kabuto Yakushi: he downed bag after bag of forbidden drugs, even infused himself with Orochimaru’s cells, and mastered Orochimaru’s power.
Chapter 13: Don’t Get the Wrong Idea About Rin and Me—We’re Learning a Foreign Language
“Thank you, Rin.”
Under Rin Nohara’s guidance, Qingyuan—who had already nearly mastered the “Detoxification Jutsu”—successfully learned the ninjutsu.
“I never expected you to be interested in this too, Qingyuan.”
Rin Nohara remarked.
Other than Qingyuan, who had only recently begun training in medical ninjutsu, she was the only other person here who knew it.
“By the way, Qingyuan, did you also register as a medical ninja at Konoha Hospital?”
Rin Nohara then asked.
“No, I didn’t.”
Qingyuan shook his head and explained that he had learned his ninjutsu from Lady Tsunade. You are reading on novelping.com, the official source.
“Lady Tsunade!”
Rin Nohara let out a small gasp.
There was no medical ninja who did not know Tsunade.
Tsunade was the woman standing at the pinnacle of the medical field, as well as a role model Rin Nohara looked up to.
Seeing the admiration in Rin Nohara’s eyes, Qingyuan immediately realized that she was the sort of person who knew nothing of Tsunade’s true nature.
Qingyuan thought about it, then decided not to tell Rin Nohara this cruel truth, lest her idol’s halo be shattered.
“By the way, Rin, which chakra points do you release the ‘Detoxification Jutsu’ from?”
Qingyuan asked.
Controlling chakra and releasing it through chakra points was not easy.
Even a jonin could generally release only part of their chakra through their hands, feet, or other parts of the body.
That was why ninjutsu was generally released either through the mouth or through the hands.
It was rare to see someone release it from somewhere else—for example, a fireball suddenly popping out of their forehead or knee…
The Uchiha clan’s Sharingan, in fact, also counted as an additional outlet for releasing techniques.
Only shinobi with the Byakugan could release chakra through every chakra point in the body.
A jutsu like “Eight Trigrams Palms: Revolving Heaven,” which released chakra from the entire body and offered powerful defense, was very difficult to perform without the Byakugan.
For that reason, Gentle Fist became an exclusive technique of the Hyuga Clan.
Shinobi without the Byakugan generally did not use Gentle Fist, relying only on Strong Fist.
“Mm, these ones…”
Rin Nohara extended her hand and brought it before Qingyuan, telling him which chakra points she used to release chakra.
Qingyuan listened beside her, but he was still somewhat confused relying on hearing alone.
So he took Rin Nohara’s hand and touched her palm with one finger.
When he grabbed her hand, a small flutter of panic passed through Rin Nohara.
Kakashi was still right here!
But when she saw Qingyuan listening intently, she immediately felt that she was overthinking it.
To a doctor, a patient was simply a patient, regardless of sex.
So gender should not matter when discussing medical ninjutsu either.
Rin Nohara endured the strange sensation of having her palm touched and continued explaining.
“What are you two talking about over here?”
Obito saw that Rin Nohara had been talking to Qingyuan the whole time and finally could not sit still any longer.
He ran over and butted in.
“We’re discussing some academic matters. You wouldn’t understand, Obito.”
