Chapter 2 Tsunade Forced to Work
Xingyuan Qianshuo extracted the system reward.
In an instant, a wealth of experience in cultivating and using the Hidden Shadow Serpent Hand entered his mind.
Hidden Shadow Snake Hands is Orochimaru's signature ninjutsu of the Snake School. It allows him to summon and release several large snakes from his sleeves for use in attacking, intimidating, restraining, or binding enemies.
This is an extremely excellent mid-to-long-range attack ninjutsu, which can be quite effective even in Kage-level battles.
The hand seals for Hidden Shadow Snake Hand and Hidden Shadow Multi-Snake Hand are the same: Yin-Zi-Si-Zi-Yin.
Essentially, this is a space-time ninjutsu similar to a summoning technique.
The difference is that it does not require signing a spiritual contract through a blood pact.
Instead, a summoning seal is pre-engraved on the caster's arm. After forming the seal, the giant snake can be summoned, and its actions can be precisely guided by chakra.
In terms of difficulty of mastering, Hidden Serpent Hand is grade C, while Hidden Serpent Multi-Hand, which can summon more giant serpents and is more complex to control, is grade B.
Xingyuan Qianshuo estimates that if the Hidden Shadow Serpent Hand can be raised to the Proficiency level, it should be able to comprehend the Hidden Shadow Serpent Hand on its own.
"Unfortunately, this multi-functional ninjutsu cannot be used." Hoshino Sensaku sighed inwardly.
This is not only because the origin of ninjutsu is inexplicable, but also because it requires the prior preparation of a giant snake with sufficient power and intelligence.
He is neither Orochimaru's successor nor has he signed a summoning contract with Ryuchi Cave, so he has no way of obtaining a suitable serpent in the short term.
Shaking his head, Xingyuan Qianshuo temporarily put this ninjutsu out of his mind.
The key to this achievement lies not in the ninjutsu itself, but in verifying that healing important characters from the original work can indeed directly grant ninjutsu rewards.
He used to be just an ordinary medical chunin, but now that he has mastered the A-rank medical ninjutsu "Healing Palm Technique," he can at least be considered a medical ninja with some talent.
Next, he needs to contact and heal more named characters from the original work in order to quickly improve his strength.
Xingyuan Qianshuo stopped thinking, looked up at the closed door, and silently counted "three, two, one".
When the count reached one, the door creaked open.
"Senior Qian Shuo, I've arrived."
A furtive head peeked through the crack in the door, looked around, chuckled, and then slowly shuffled into the room.
"Sheci, how many times have I told you to knock first?" Xingyuan Qianshuo was quite helpless about Sheci's rash behavior.
Sheci is 16 years old this year, and has a carefree and somewhat boyish personality.
However, she has a good talent for medical ninjutsu and is the wife of the Third Hokage and a formal disciple of Sarutobi Biwako.
Sarutobi Biwako currently manages the Konoha Medical Department and also serves as the director of Konoha Hospital; essentially, it's "one team, two names."
In name, Xingyuan Qianshuo also received her guidance and can be considered her student.
However, he had not yet awakened his memories, nor did he have a system to rely on. His talent was mediocre, so he was unable to formally become an apprentice.
"I know, Senior Qian Shuo, hehe~" She Ci replied casually.
The two were just ordinary senior and junior colleagues in the past.
However, recently, Xingyuan Qianshuo has mastered two advanced medical ninjutsu and has become famous in Konoha Hospital.
The naturally outgoing Sheci quickly became acquainted with him under the guise of seeking his advice.
"Senior Qian Shuo, is there really no other trick to using the Palm Healing Technique?"
Following Xingyuan Qianshuo's instructions, Sheci has been practicing the Palm Immortal Technique with dying fish lately, and her body has a faint fishy smell.
"It's all about practice."
Xingyuan Qianshuo was somewhat speechless; he couldn't very well assign her a system as well.
"Hmph~" She Ci was convinced that Senior Qian Shuo must be hiding some unique secret.
Snapped!
She slapped her forehead suddenly and exclaimed, "Oh right! The teacher sent me to call you over! Lady Tsunade is there too!"
"Why didn't you say something so important earlier?" Xingyuan Qianshuo glared at Sheci and immediately got up to pay his respects.
Thump~ thump~ thump!
"Enter!"
From inside the dean's office came Sarutobi Biwako's slightly stern voice.
Xingyuan Qianshuo pushed open the door and entered, only to see Teacher Biwahu sitting behind his desk.
Meanwhile, on a nearby sofa, Tsunade, the princess of Konoha, sat leisurely.
"Biwako-sensei, Tsunade-sama." Hoshino Senju bowed respectfully.
This was in Konoha year 44, three years after the end of the Second Shinobi World War.
In my memory, during World War II, in the Konoha medical camp, Hoshino Senju was one of the medical ninjas under Tsunade's command.
At that time, he was just a medical ninja, spending his days doing auxiliary work such as stopping bleeding, bandaging, and assisting in preparing medicines.
Later, Tsunade developed hemophobia after the death of her lover, Dan Kato, and for reasons of secrecy, she was basically in a semi-retired state.
Even when they occasionally step in to provide guidance on solving major medical problems, their visits are always brief.
"So it's you, kid. You've really gotten bold, daring to give me work to do?"
Tsunade recognized Xingyuan Qian Shuo, raised an eyebrow, and questioned him.
Now in her thirties, Tsunade has long since shed the tenderness she had when she was in love with Dan Kato.
Perhaps pain makes people grow, and there was a hint of the future Fifth Hokage's majesty between her brows.
She had long, light yellow hair tied in a loose ponytail, bright brown eyes, pink lips, fair skin, and a graceful demeanor.
His proud and magnanimous heart is truly a gift from heaven.
However, the blue-purple diamond-shaped mark on his forehead was missing, suggesting that he had not yet mastered the Yin Seal, which could store chakra.
"Lady Tsunade, you flatter me. I am merely reiterating your suggestion from back then," Hoshino Senju replied calmly.
Before coming here, he had already considered the reason why Professor Biwako had summoned him, which was most likely because of the two recommendation reports he had submitted.
During World War II, Tsunade's younger brother, Nawaki, accidentally fell into an explosive tag trap and was seriously injured. However, there were no medical ninjas in the squad, so he was unable to receive timely treatment and died.
Therefore, Tsunade proposed at the Jonin meeting that each four-person team going deep behind enemy lines should be equipped with a medical ninja.
This proposal was rejected by the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, on the grounds of insufficient manpower, technology, and resources.
Now, three years after the end of World War II, Konoha has recovered and has sufficient resources.
The Third Shinobi World War will break out in a few years.
Xingyuan Qianshuo believes that Konoha already has the ability and the need to expand its medical ninja force.
Therefore, in order to test the reward mechanism of the "Healer's Benevolence System", he submitted a proposal to expand the recruitment of medical genin.
The system then rewarded the user with the B-rank medical ninjutsu "Small Ailment Extraction Technique (Proficient)".
With his initial success in mind, he pressed on and submitted a proposal to expand the business of Konoha Hospital.
The plan is to establish a branch in the capital of the Land of Fire in the future, and gradually expand to major cities.
At the same time, we will vigorously develop pharmaceutical-related research and development and production to generate revenue for Konoha.
He even drew on his past life's experience to plan detailed departments, proposed training non-ninja doctors, and established a professional title system of physician, doctor, attending physician, associate chief physician, and chief physician.
The proposal was evaluated by the system as "greatly promoting the development of the medical industry in the ninja world" and was awarded the A-rank medical ninjutsu "Henjutsu: Palm Technique (Proficient)".
Sarutobi Biwako ignored Tsunade's complaints and looked at Hoshino Senju with a gratified expression.
This child went from being ordinary to showing his talent, always being earnest and down-to-earth, and what's even more remarkable is his foresight.
In her view, Konoha's medical cause has a promising future, and although the two proposals are not perfect, they are highly feasible.
The old man in the family praised him repeatedly after seeing the boy, believing that he had the talent to be the "Hokage's assistant".
She took the proposal to Tsunade, and after a heart-to-heart talk, she finally persuaded the strongest medical ninja in Konoha to return to Konoha Hospital.
Originally, Tsunade was supposed to take over as the director of Konoha Hospital.
Unfortunately, after losing Nawaki and Kato, she developed hemophobia, which is almost fatal for a medical ninja.
Although this matter was a top secret in Konoha, Sarutobi Biwako, as the Hokage's wife and the hospital director, naturally knew about it.
She believes that getting Tsunade involved in her work is the best way to combat mental illness; if she spends her days idly, she is more likely to dwell on the past.
"Chisaku, the Third Hokage has agreed to expand the recruitment of medical genin at the Ninja Academy. Tsunade will be in charge of this matter, and you will assist her," Sarutobi Biwako instructed directly.
"Yes, Professor Biwako," Hoshino Senju replied respectfully.
"Hmph~" Tsunade snorted coldly and said no more.
Since she has already agreed, she will not go back on her word.
However, she will have to find an opportunity to properly "guide" this kid sooner or later.
"Your proposal to first open a medical specialty class is excellent. We will proceed accordingly, and arrange basic medical knowledge training every Saturday morning."
Sarutobi Biwako continued her deployment, pausing briefly before adding, "This recruitment will prioritize commoner ninjas as much as possible. Tsunade will guide you on the specifics."
"As for your other proposal, the plan to establish a branch of Konoha Hospital is also very insightful, but this plan is too far ahead. The future of peace in the ninja world is uncertain at present, so let's focus on the present."
"Yes." Xingyuan Qianshuo did not refute at all and humbly accepted the instruction.
These two proposals, in addition to being a reward for testing the system, represent Xingyuan Qianshuo's first step towards aligning himself with the Third Hokage's lineage.
With the system at his disposal, his "talent" is bound to be difficult to completely conceal; at the very least, his talent as a medical ninja must be revealed.
Only in this way can he have the opportunity to come into contact with and heal more important characters from the original work, thereby obtaining system rewards.
However, Shimura Danzo, known as the "Darkness of Konoha," still exists in Konoha.
The ambitious Danzo is collaborating with Orochimaru to research Hashirama cells and conduct human experiments using Wood Release.
If I were to stand out, I might be coerced or lured into becoming a member of "Root".
Actively presenting one's ideals and values to the Third Hokage and entering his field of vision is equivalent to "winning the Emperor's favor."
This is the confidence to refuse Danzo when necessary.
Furthermore, ninjutsu and secret techniques are the foundation of ninja clans. Even though Konoha vigorously cultivates commoner ninjas, the teaching of advanced ninjutsu is still strictly managed.
Xingyuan Qianshuo cannot hide the ninjutsu rewarded by the system forever. Showing his talent and value is paving the way for these ninjutsu to be used "openly and legitimately" in the future.
Of course, Tsunade's appearance was an unexpected bonus.
With this camaraderie built through working together, his future plans may proceed much more smoothly.
