Chapter 118: Official Start

The next day, Kiba went early in

the morning to collect his fixed salary as a ninja but was met with complaints

from the chunin in charge of distributing the salary. The chunin grumbled that

Kiba was supposed to collect his salary a month ago and only showed up now.

Kiba noticed that this chunin

seemed to have a dislike for him, wearing a sour expression the entire time and

scolding him before finally giving him his salary. It was clear to Kiba that

the chunin did this on purpose.

However, Kiba didn't pay him any

mind, took the money, and left directly. In fact, when the chunin was scolding

him, Kiba was already recalling the training plan he had set the previous day.

Although the salary of a Genin

wasn't much, it was more than enough to cover basic needs. Even though Tsunade

said it could barely feed him, Kiba estimated that by saving a little, he could

stretch it to meet his food intake and even save some money.

After collecting his salary, Kiba

headed straight to the rocky training spot, which was also Tsunade's designated

meeting point.

Seeing him run off, the chunin who

distributed the salary gritted his teeth in frustration.

This brat didn't hear me at all! No! He totally

ignored me! How hateful! A son of a traitor, just because he shone a bit in the

Chunin exam, what is he so proud of? It's no wonder the Third Hokage gave him a

Chunin qualification to retain; this kid is so arrogant!

The chunin looked at Kiba's back

and snorted disdainfully.

Although Kiba shone in the Chunin

exam, and even the Third Hokage and the Sannin favored him for special

training, many ninjas were dissatisfied with him. Whether it was because of his

status as a "traitor's son" or other reasons, many were more

dissatisfied with him than before.

However, these opinions didn't

affect Kiba. He quickly entered his training state, and his heart was full of

fulfillment every day.

Now that the money problem was

resolved, Kiba felt much better.

Soon, Kiba arrived at the rocky

terrain. Today, without Tsunade leading the way, Kiba realized how hidden this

place was. Without her guidance, he wouldn't have found it.

When Kiba arrived, Tsunade was

already waiting for him. Seeing her slightly haggard face, Kiba narrowed his

eyes slightly.

Tsunade must have been drinking yesterday. She

should be in a hangover state now...

In fact, Tsunade was indeed

hungover. After Namikaze Minato left yesterday, she and Jiraiya continued

drinking. They had initially called Orochimaru to join them, but lately,

Orochimaru had been acting mysteriously. After refusing, he hurried away.

Orochimaru, I don't know what he's been up to

lately...

Tsunade complained inwardly, then

saw Kiba approaching. She checked the time—Kiba was only slightly late.

"Tsunade-sama," Kiba

greeted, stopping in front of her.

Tsunade nodded and got straight to

the point, "From today onwards, you'll train according to the method

outlined here."

With that, Tsunade handed a scroll

to Kiba.

Kiba took it, replied with a

"yes," and began reading. The scroll detailed how to manipulate

chakra into medical chakra for medical ninjutsu.

As Kiba read, he couldn't help but

feel impressed.

I used to think Sakura's chakra control ability was

excellent but not outstanding. It seems I misunderstood. Her role wasn't very

likable, so many people disliked her online, and I seemed influenced by that. I

thought she was a weak and flamboyant character. However, now it seems Sakura's

chakra control talent is outstanding! She is a very strong ninja, both in

technique and willpower!

After reading the scroll, Kiba

deeply felt how high the threshold for medical ninjutsu was. To complete the

transformation of chakra into medical chakra was a significant test of a

ninja's control over chakra. If not careful, the transformation could fail,

wasting chakra. Moreover, this transformation had to be continuous during

treatment, consuming both chakra and energy.

"From now on, you don't need

to train strange power on the rock pillars. You'll focus on practicing medical

ninjutsu and spend at least 3 hours daily learning theoretical knowledge. Don't

underestimate medical ninjutsu; it is extremely difficult," Tsunade

instructed Kiba.

Better to cancel the strange power training... This

kid's approach is too reckless.

Hearing Tsunade's words, Kiba was

slightly taken aback.

Cancel the strange power training? Why?

"Follow me," Tsunade

said. "The practice of medical ninjutsu will be done here. And your new

strange power training."

With that, she walked on.

New strange power training? Didn't it mean one punch

to smash a pillar before proceeding to the next stage? Why are we moving on so

soon?

After a moment's hesitation, Kiba

followed, puzzled.

Following Tsunade, Kiba soon

reached the edge of the rocky area, where a wide stream flowed with clear

water. Pebbles and schools of fish could be seen in the water. Across the

stream was a lush forest.

"Kiba, your training objects

for medical ninjutsu are these fish. Besides the scroll's method, you need to

use strange power to injure the fish and then heal them," Tsunade

explained by the stream.

Kiba frowned slightly upon hearing

this.

But Tsunade continued, "Pay

close attention, control the strange power, the point of the punch. You can't

kill the fish, and you can't disrupt the stream's flow pattern. This is also a

kind of training!"

Saying this, Tsunade punched into

the water.

"Boom!"

The moment her fist entered the

water, a jet of water burst out, sending several live fish flying out and

landing on the shore, flopping around.

"Clatter!"

The water jet splashed and fell

onto Tsunade, but she didn't seem to care. Turning to Kiba, she asked, "Do

you understand?"

The corner of Kiba's mouth

twitched. Tsunade's demonstration completely overturned his image of her as a

figure of unparalleled power and violence. The punch she displayed was

precisely controlled, with the right amount of chakra refined instantly, creating

the water column and displacing the fish.

Compared to Tsunade, Kiba was far

behind. His strange power required accumulating chakra in advance and then

relying on ultra-fine control to maintain it for a while before releasing it

instantly.

But like Tsunade's instantaneous

refinement and explosion, Kiba couldn't do it yet. From this punch, Kiba

realized Tsunade's chakra control ability was no less than his own!

Incredible! My talent came from transmigration, but

Tsunade actually cultivated to this level through hard work!

The point of the punch landed

exactly on the water surface. The strange power was an explosive physical

skill, meant to damage the opponent maximally at the point of contact. It

required precise judgment of the attack point and timing.

His current strange power needed a

little time to explode after contact, making it slightly slower and less

powerful.

It's like pushing something with

full force directly, whereas he pushed halfway first and then exploded with

strength in the latter half, losing much of its power.

His strange power was too

imperfect. With the same amount of chakra, Tsunade's strange power was probably

twice or even three times more potent!

Indeed, this kind of strange power training is much

better than training with rock pillars!

"I understand," Kiba

said.

Tsunade nodded and threw the

flopping fish back into the water. She kept one dying fish on the shore and

walked up to Kiba.

"I'll demonstrate the healing

technique once. You'll be fine after seeing it." Tsunade lifted the fish

to Kiba's face and pressed it with her other hand.

Kiba felt a strange chakra

fluctuation. A light green chakra emanated from Tsunade's hand, gathered into a

ball, and surrounded the fish. After a while, the fish jumped up, struggling in

Tsunade's hands.

"See?" Tsunade asked.

Kiba nodded, but he was extremely

surprised.

Is this medical ninjutsu? Amazing!

"Now, try it," Tsunade

instructed.

"Yes!" Kiba responded.

He walked to the stream, gathered

a bit of green chakra, and punched.

"Boom!"

The water column rushed up,

pebbles and fish flew randomly, and the water rippled and splashed.

Indeed, it's difficult!

Kiba immediately became a soaked

mess, with pebbles hitting his body. It hurt.

"The control of strength and

landing point is insufficient! Try again!" Tsunade scolded.

"Boom!"

Kiba adjusted his posture and

punched again.

"The force is too weak this

time! The landing point is off! Try again!"

"Boom!"

"No, no, no! Find the right

feeling! Try again!"

...

I must master medical ninjutsu as soon as possible

and reach the level of treating muscle injuries!

Kiba punched again and again,

unprecedented concentration on his face.
