"Kid, what's your dream?"
"Dream?"
Aoba also fell into brief contemplation because of this question.
He didn't really have a specific dream he wanted to achieve. Making more money in the future, becoming stronger, and then marrying a few more wives—did that count?
But it seemed like the Ninja World didn't have a strict rule that a person could only have one wife. It was just that most ninjas tacitly accepted monogamous relationships.
This trend wasn't good. It had to be changed. Otherwise, he might face a lot of side-eyes in the future.
Even if he didn't care, what if Ino and the others did?
As he thought about it, Aoba already had an answer in his heart.
"I am a man who will become Hokage!"
In the village, the Hokage's power was limitless. As long as he became Hokage, he could decide everything about the village.
"Are you sure you want to be Hokage?"
Tsunade frowned. The expression and look in Aoba's eyes just now didn't seem like those of someone who truly wanted to be Hokage.
"That's right!"
Aoba, who had already made up his mind, had an extraordinarily firm gaze. So firm that it was just like those who aspired to join the Anbu.
A trace of doubt flashed through Tsunade's eyes, "Then why do you want to become Hokage?"
"Do I need a reason to want to be Hokage?", Aoba asked back in confusion.
"..."
"Forget it."
Tsunade curled her lips and changed the topic.
"You've already been learning from Sukui for a while now. You should have a solid understanding of many ninja basics by now, right?"
Aoba nodded, indicating that he understood.
"Then you should also know the three major principles of medical ninjas, right?"
The so-called three major principles of medical ninjas were actually set by Tsunade herself, precisely to ensure the safety of medical ninjas during missions or on the battlefield.
At the same time, they were also meant to ensure that medical ninjas could effectively support and heal teammates during battles, reduce casualties during missions, and improve mission success rates.
The principles were as follows:
1. Never abandon treatment before a teammate's death.
2. Never stand on the frontlines of battle.
3. Never die before any member of the squad.
Sukui had explained these on the very first day, and Aoba recited them fluently.
Tsunade nodded lightly, but soon, her gaze became sharp again, "These three principles apply only to ordinary medical ninjas. But for me, and for someone as talented as you, there's a fourth rule."
"A fourth rule?", Aoba was taken aback and became even more serious.
"That is—medical ninjas who have mastered the Forbidden Jutsu 'Creation Rebirth: Strength of a Hundred Technique' are allowed to break all of the above rules."
Shizune, who had been listening from the side, suddenly felt a little lost. This was because her talent wasn't particularly great. She could only learn Tsunade's basic medical ninjutsu.
She couldn't even master the foundation of the Strength of a Hundred Technique, the Yin Seal, so she had no way of following the fourth principle for medical ninjas.
"Many basic medical ninjutsu can be learned from other medical ninjas. What makes me different from them is that I can teach you my original medical jutsu and share some of my personal experience."
After Tsunade finished speaking, Aoba nodded seriously, "Teacher, I will study diligently!"
"Good!"
Tsunade was quite satisfied and quickly reverted to her usual lazy demeanor.
Leaning back on the sofa, she rested her arms on the couch, revealing her fair skin.
At the same time, she crossed her legs, her round toes twitching slightly.
"You should also know about chakra attributes by now, right?"
Aoba kept his gaze steady as he answered, "Chakra attributes are divided into Fire, Water, Wind, Lightning, Earth, Yin, and Yang."
"And only chakra with the Yang attribute can be used for medical ninjutsu."
Tsunade nodded in satisfaction and continued.
"It looks like you've also learned about chakra nature transformation and form transformation?"
"Besides Yang attribute chakra, I also have Wind attribute chakra, and I've already grasped the basic transformation of Wind chakra."
"What?"
Tsunade and Shizune both looked at Aoba in shock. They had assumed his medical ninjutsu talent was impressive enough, but now it turned out he was also highly skilled in elemental chakra control.
"It seems you truly are a remarkable genius," Tsunade couldn't help but sigh.
"Thank you for the compliment, teacher."
"Hmm, since you already understand chakra nature and form transformation, the things I'll explain next will be much easier for you to grasp."
Since this meant she wouldn't have to explain things in painstaking detail, Tsunade was in a great mood.
"First, most medical ninjutsu involve Yang chakra nature transformation. Some also involve Yang chakra form transformation, such as the Chakra Scalpel."
Tsunade continued, "Mastering both transformations primarily depends on chakra control. Without precise control over chakra, medical ninjutsu won't be as effective as they should be..."
Tsunade explained medical ninjutsu knowledge in detail, relying on her years of experience traveling the world and her firsthand experience from battlefield medicine.
In many ways, her explanations were much clearer than those given by Sukui before.
Aoba listened attentively. Since he could understand things clearly the first time, he didn't see the need to waste time reviewing them later.
After "blabbering" on for over half an hour, Tsunade felt her throat getting dry, "Did you understand everything?"
Aoba nodded seriously, "I understand everything. Thank you, teacher."
"It seems your talent is even greater than I expected. You grasp things instantly, so I won't waste too much breath."
Tsunade turned to Shizune, "Shizune, go get a fish from the kitchen."
Hearing this, Shizune immediately got up and headed to the kitchen.
Aoba asked in confusion, "Teacher, I've already learned the Mystical Palm Technique. Do we still need a fish?"
"I'm going to teach you the Chakra Scalpel next."
"Is the Chakra Scalpel practiced with fish as well?"
"Not exactly. Normally, the Chakra Scalpel can be practiced directly, but this method will help you master it more effectively. Plus, it will improve your proficiency in the Mystical Palm Technique as well."
"?"
Seeing Aoba's puzzled expression, Tsunade elaborated further.
"The Chakra Scalpel, when chakra is concentrated in the hands, can cut through any part of the body for medical procedures, organ transplants, or even sever opponents' muscles and tendons in battle."
"By practicing on fish, you can use the Chakra Scalpel to cut open the fish's body or its internal muscles and tendons. As long as the fish isn't dead, you then use the Mystical Palm Technique to heal it."
"This way, you can practice the Chakra Scalpel, the Mystical Palm Technique, and chakra control all at the same time."
Aoba: 'I see.'
Fish: 'This is the real Grim Reaper.'
This reminded him of a news report he had seen in his previous life.
A
female medical student stabbed her ex-boyfriend 36 times, precisely avoiding all vital points. The result? The court ruled it as 'minor injuries'.
Tsunade was even more terrifying. She didn't even need to avoid vital points. As long as you weren't dead and still breathing, she could heal you—only to stab you again.
As Tsunade explained, Shizune had already placed a water basin with a fish on the table.
"I'll first teach you the Chakra Scalpel."
Tsunade's right hand was enveloped in blue chakra as she reached into the basin—
Thus began the fish's miserable fate of being half-dead, over and over again.
