If the Sannin represent the three great sins, then Orochimaru is undoubtedly poison, Jiraiya is lust, and Tsunade is gambling.
Tsunade even had the character for “gamble” embroidered on the back of her coat.
“Your luck isn’t bad—you got your hands on these two techniques as well.”
Renegade Qingyuan spoke up.
Every ninja can only master a limited number of techniques.
The requirement for becoming a jonin is also mastering two chakra nature transformations.
Most ninja only have a handful of techniques they can use.
He had spent all his time running around outside, serving as Orochimaru’s black glove, and everything he had learned was combat-oriented ninjutsu.
He really knew nothing about medical ninjutsu.
“I wonder if I can learn them in the next few days.”
Qingyuan looked at the sloppy handwriting on the page.
Fortunately, he could still make it out if he examined it carefully.
“That’s enough. I can guide your chakra.”
Renegade Qingyuan said he could help Qingyuan train in these two most basic medical techniques.
These two techniques did not require Yang nature, so Qingyuan, who possessed only Wind and Lightning natures, could learn them as well.
“All right.”
Qingyuan nodded and continued walking down the street.
The communication between him and Renegade Qingyuan could take place entirely in his mind, just like Naruto talking with the Nine-Tails.
The outside world could not hear the two of them conversing.
“Hopefully the money I have left is enough to buy a good piece of armor.”
Qingyuan thought to himself.
A ninja’s chakra was limited, so everything had to be carefully budgeted.
That was why shuriken, kunai, and similar ninja tools were essential equipment in the ninja world.
“Fire Style: Great Fireball Technique” might not necessarily burn someone to death, but being stabbed with a kunai was basically fatal.
So Qingyuan was not going to buy shuriken, nor was he going to buy kunai.
What he wanted to buy was armor!
Although only chunin were qualified to wear the green ninja vest, Qingyuan could still buy a decent chain-mail shirt and wear it beneath his clothes.
At a critical moment, being able to block some damage would be enough.
After completing his purchases, Qingyuan also bought some tools commonly used by ninja, and even bought an extra bag of lime powder.
But because of that, he had almost no money left.
Qingyuan returned home carrying several large and small bags and asked.
When it came to making the forbidden drug, only Renegade Qingyuan could handle it.
Qingyuan himself was completely clueless about that sort of thing.
Qingyuan was not worried that Renegade Qingyuan would harm him, either.
If he followed the original course of events and went to reinforce Minato Squad, he would probably have a hard time surviving.
Rin Nohara would be captured, Kakashi would lose an eye, and Obito would have half his body crushed.
Even if Qingyuan survived, there was no telling whether he would lose an arm or a leg.
He might as well trust his future self.
“I’ll possess you to complete this step. The heat is very difficult to control.”
Renegade Qingyuan said.
“But every time I possess you, it accelerates my dissipation, so there isn’t much I can do.”
With that, Renegade Qingyuan’s spirit entered Qingyuan’s body.
Qingyuan’s current sensation was very strange.
He watched as his own hands and feet began moving of their own accord.
But he could also feel that, if he wanted to, he could take back control of his body directly.
Chapter 8: Don’t Jerk Off to Rin’s Photo
Soon, several days passed in a flash, and the final day arrived.
After Renegade Qingyuan had fussed over it for a while, he sealed some brown medicinal liquid into clear bags.
Qingyuan looked at the bags and felt that they inexplicably resembled the traditional Chinese medicine from his previous life…
“After you take these, they’ll strengthen your body, which will in turn increase your chakra reserves. Conservatively, they should double what you have now.”
Renegade Qingyuan said.
If your base mana bar is low, then raising it is very simple.
“Double, huh? Not bad.”
Qingyuan was even more satisfied with the effect.
That way, even though his rank was only genin, his strength would still count as formidable among the chunin.
As long as he had enough chakra, techniques did not matter—overwhelming force would solve everything.
For example, Six Paths Naruto was a pure stat build: a Sage’s body + tailed-beast chakra + sage art strengthening his body + Six Paths power strengthening his body.
With that whole setup, all he had to do was keep cranking out Rasengan after Rasengan.
“I remember Takinigakure also has a forbidden drug called ‘Hero’s Water.'”
Qingyuan said.
In the anime’s Takinigakure arc, a forbidden drug called “Hero’s Water” appeared.
Drinking it could increase one’s chakra tenfold!
“It’s not bad. Drinking a small amount could save your life, but Takinigakure also has the Seven-Tails stationed there.”
Renegade Qingyuan shook his head.
Did he think Renegade Qingyuan had never considered that?
Simply put, his strength was not enough.
Even a fighter at Kage level would not dare claim to be certain of defeating a tailed beast.
A tailed beast could casually fire a Tailed Beast Ball and level a mountain, which was why the nations treated tailed beasts as weapons of war.
Hashirama Senju also believed that if the tailed beasts were distributed and a so-called balance among them achieved, all the nations could enjoy permanent peace.
But just as the Qin dynasty perished in its second generation, war erupted in the shinobi world immediately after Hashirama Senju’s death.
“Right.”
Qingyuan also felt that he was getting a little carried away.
As long as he had the Last Testament and kept fusing with other versions of himself from other timelines, he could become a stat monster too.
“Let’s do it.”
Qingyuan used a kunai to cut a slit in the sealed plastic bag, then downed it in one gulp.
Bitter!
That was Qingyuan’s first reaction.
Then came a splitting headache, as if his brain were about to explode.
No—wait.
Renegade Qingyuan had said it would cause a headache, but he had not said it would hurt this much!
Qingyuan clutched his head and crouched down, enduring the pain.
“Your chakra reserves are rising now. The headache is your brain producing chakra.”
Renegade Qingyuan said.
This kind of forbidden drug used the principles of Yang Release chakra.
Through a reaction between certain medicinal ingredients and the human body, it produced a special kind of chakra, which then nourished the body.
Once the body’s energy increased, the ninja’s chakra reserves increased along with it.
Sure enough, after the initial pain passed, Qingyuan could feel a warm, cozy sensation throughout his limbs and bones.
It was like going ten days without bathing and then suddenly soaking in a hot spring.
After the drug’s effects had mostly worn off, Qingyuan clenched his hand.
Brand-new power!
Then Qingyuan went to the courtyard and formed hand seals with both hands, still using the three seals Dog, Horse, and Rooster.
