Chapter 119: Transfer
"Boom!"
With a punch, a jet of water was
blown up, splashing everywhere, and several live fish were thrown and fell onto
the shore.
"Huh la la!" The water splashed onto Kiba's already
soaked clothes. He turned his head and looked at the flopping live fish on the
shore, his eyes settling on one motionless fish.
This time, just this one!
With the sound of the water, Kiba
walked up to the bank of the stream step by step, picked up the motionless
fish, and threw the lively fish back into the stream.
Holding the live fish in his hand,
the fish looked at him blankly with its bulging eyes. Kiba stretched out his
other hand and pressed it down.
Strange strands of chakra emanated
from his hand, forming a light green ball of chakra that slowly surrounded the
live fish. Ten seconds later, the fish's eyes became brighter, and after
another five seconds, it started to flap its fins energetically.
Letting out a long breath, Kiba
put the live fish back into the stream, making a "plop"
sound. Then he stepped aside and sat down.
It's been two months, and this is my progress? It
still takes over 20 seconds to completely heal a live fish. Compared to
Tsunade, I'm far behind. She can heal a fish almost instantly upon activating
her medical chakra.
It can't be compared at all!
Kiba sighed.
In the past two months, he had
been fishing in the stream every day and healing the wounds of the fish. From
the beginning, when it was completely chaotic with fish and stones flying
around, to after a week when he could control the strength and accurately judge
the force of his punches. During this week, he gradually mastered the
transformation of chakra into medical chakra. After three weeks, he was
proficient in transforming medical chakra but still couldn't treat live fish.
It took a month of Tsunade's formal training before he could treat a live fish.
Another month later, he was very proficient in transforming medical chakra, and
it now took just over 20 seconds to treat a live fish.
During this period, Tsunade's
guidance played a significant role. Before Kiba could treat live fish, Tsunade
spent almost all her time by his side, patiently explaining, demonstrating, and
discussing any problems he encountered. When Kiba was able to treat live fish,
she set a task for him to treat fifty live fish every day, without rest until
he completed it.
However, since Kiba managed to
treat live fish, Tsunade had rarely appeared at the stream. She assigned the
task but left its completion to Kiba, only inquiring daily about his progress.
It was a laissez-faire state.
Kiba grew accustomed to the boring
training alone. He didn't cut corners in his daily tasks and sometimes added
extra challenges, such as treating ten additional fish. This monotonous,
repetitive healing practice, along with occasional added challenges, rapidly
advanced Kiba's medical ninjutsu. The time needed to heal a fish constantly
shortened, from one minute initially to fifty seconds, then to forty-five
seconds...until now, just over twenty seconds.
If a medical ninja saw Kiba's
progress, they might look up and lament that it would take at least a year, or
even two or three years, for others to reach this level. It seemed unreasonable
and unbelievable!
However, it was normal for Kiba.
He had an extraordinary fine chakra control ability, far exceeding the standard
for learning medical ninjutsu. Combined with his diligence, no matter how
difficult the medical ninjutsu was, progress couldn't be slow.
At the same time, after daily
medical ninjutsu training, Kiba continued other daily training. His taijutsu
training never stopped. But because he conducted a lot of medical ninjutsu and
strange power training every day, the Life Gate mode was always on. Therefore,
his monster power punches and monster side kicks weren't included in his daily
training. Even his daily physical training was reduced to 500 punches, 500 side
kicks, 500 squats, and 500 push-ups to avoid affecting the next day's training.
During these daily trainings,
Kiba's mind wasn't empty. It was filled with medical knowledge. He even made a
shelf to hang the scrolls while doing daily training to remember and think.
In the past two months, Kiba
abandoned toxicology and general medical theory, focusing solely on medical
knowledge related to muscle tissue. Now he had a good grasp of human muscle
knowledge. With daily fish treatments, Kiba felt he could already treat muscle
tissue injuries.
In other words, the development of
the gate of pain mode could officially be on the agenda.
However, Kiba was still cautious.
He had no experience treating human muscle tissue. Although he had been
treating fish, fish were different from humans, and human situations were much
more complicated.
Therefore, today Kiba intended to
seek advice on treating human muscles.
The person he planned to ask was
the medical ninja Yuriko, who had treated his injuries before. Kiba, who had
learned medical ninjutsu, clearly knew Yuriko's medical skills were powerful.
Although not as good as Tsunade's, she was an elite medical ninja and had
experience treating the muscle damage from opening the four gates. Knowing and
asking her for advice was much more convenient.
As for why Kiba didn't ask Tsunade
directly, there was a reason.
Because Tsunade was off gambling
somewhere, and he couldn't find her...
Washing off the fishy smell from
his hands by the stream, Kiba picked up his weight-bearing props, put them on,
and walked back to the village step by step.
Meanwhile, at the Hokage's office.
"Did you come back so early
today? Is something wrong?" The Third Hokage looked at the crystal ball,
taking a leisurely puff of his cigarette.
The scene in the crystal ball
showed Kiba wearing his weight-bearing props.
Hehehe... I didn't expect this young Kiba to choose
to become a medical ninja. He also has extraordinary talent in medical
ninjutsu. After watching Tsunade's demonstration for the first time, he could
immediately transform chakra into medical chakra. It lasted a second.
When Tsunade reported this matter to me, her
expression was surprised. It's unimaginable for Tsunade to show such an excited
expression.
Afterward, I occasionally looked at Kiba's situation
when I found time. The resilience and perseverance of this child made me
realize he wasn't simple.
"However, we can't let him go
on like this forever." The leisurely look on the Third Hokage's face
slowly solidified into a dignified look, with some hesitation and
consideration.
"His teammates, Yukina and
Hirohiko, have already started missions. Yukina was allowed to participate in
missions above C level a month ago, and Hirohiko has been performing missions
with Jiraiya for two months. Although this kid will become a medical ninja in
the future, he can't be completely inexperienced in missions, let
alone..." The Third Hokage exhaled a puff of smoke and called out,
"Homura, please call in Genma. I want to change the personnel arrangement
for that mission."
Homura pushed the door open and
entered. After hearing the request, he immediately went to notify Genma.
At the same time, Homura was
puzzled.
Strange, do the Third Hokage still need to make
personnel arrangements? Is there anyone who can complete the task of the real
number now? Or do you want to make a replacement?
However, there is no one in the village who can
replace him! The necessary defense forces can't be mobilized, and the mission
personnel can't be mobilized, as they are all on missions...
