Chapter 10 Medical Ninjutsu

In the evening, at the Senju clan residence.

Tsunade, Senju Hashirama, Uzumaki Mito, and Senju Tobirama were gathered around the round table, and all the dishes had been devoured by the group.

Full and content, Senju Hashirama patted his stomach and exclaimed, "Wow~ I'm so full! Yuto, your cooking skills are truly impressive. I, Hashirama, must acknowledge you as the greatest chef!" as he gave a thumbs up.

Mito rolled her eyes at Hashirama's antics and then turned her attention to Yuto with a gentle gaze. "Yuto, my dear, I truly appreciate all the hard work you put in today. I'm sorry we couldn't be of much help."

Yuto smiled and waved his hand, "It's alright, Grandma Mito. I'm just practicing my cooking skills. After I succeed in cultivating Shadow Clone jutsu in a few days, I'll have a clone take care of all the cooking."

Hashirama's eyes sparkled with enthusiasm. "That's a great idea! But, Yuto, Shadow Clone jutsu isn't as useful as my Wood Clone. I can teach you that technique. Once you learn it, you can send a clone to our house to cook!"

Yuto was taken aback for a moment, then eagerly nodded in agreement.

"Brother, don't forget that Wood Clone requires knowledge of Wood Style. Yuto won't be able to use it even if he learns it," Tobirama reminded as he sipped his tea.

Hashirama slapped his forehead in embarrassment. "Ah, that's right. Haha, oh well, we'll have to think of something else."

Yuto was a little disappointed, as learning Wood Style jutsu would have been a great opportunity. However, he understood that it wasn't his main goal in coming here.

So, Yuto proposed to Hashirama the idea of learning medical ninjutsu. Tsunade chimed in, expressing her interest in learning as well.

Hashirama accepted the offer, nodded and acquiesced, then stood up and left, returning after a while holding a massive scroll in his hand. He placed it on the ground and looked at the two before saying:

"This is the foundation of medical ninjutsu that has been collected by the Senju family for generations. If you wish to learn medical ninjutsu, you must first master the content in this scroll before I can teach you the next step."

The two were taken aback by the giant scroll, which towered over them. Tsunade couldn't believe it and asked, "Grandpa, this scroll is too thick. How long will it take us to learn?"

Hashirama chuckled, "I thought it took me a whole year to finish it, and no one has beaten my original record since. You two must work hard! How about we make a bet? If either of you can complete the content of this scroll within a year, I will fulfill a request for you. If you lose, you have to promise me a request. How does that sound?"

"It's a deal," Yuto agreed before Tsunade could respond.

Yuto was confident in his promise, thanks to his improved memory after reincarnation. He knew that given a month, he could learn almost all the contents of the scroll. He had to win the bet made by Hashirama, so there was no reason why he should not agree.

Tsunade hesitated when she looked at the scroll in front of her. She would rather spend her time playing outside than bury herself in learning this for the next year. It meant that she would have no time to play in the future. However, she had already agreed to learn medical ninjutsu with Yuto, and it would be embarrassing to refuse. She gritted her teeth and agreed.

That night, Yuto walked home feeling elated.

...

Another significant event occurred in class the next day.

On the podium, Senju Izu watched as Jiraiya stumbled while performing the Three Body Technique. He was surprised when he realized that Jiraiya was able to sense chakra within three days.

"I can't believe it. Another one!" Senju Izu exclaimed. "Although this kid's Three Body Technique looks a bit rough, it's incredible to be able to sense chakra within three days."

After taking a deep breath, Senju Izu gazed solemnly at Jiraiya in the stands, Yuto who was enthusiastically cheering for Jiraiya in the audience, and Orochimaru in the last row who was diligently taking notes without any distraction. He couldn't help but have a premonition.

"These three individuals must have a significant role to play in the future!"

Following class, Senju Izu invited the three of them to his office and taught them a ninjutsu as per their agreement.

Jiraiya, with his fire-earth double attribute, was given the C-level Great Fireball Technique.

Orochimaru, with his wind attribute, was given the Wind Style - Great Breakthrough.

[A/N: Orochimaru has been shown using several chakra natures in the Naruto series just like hiruzen but right now I just use wind as his main elemental affinity]

Yuto asked for the Earth Style - Earth Wall.

Upon leaving, Jiraiya eagerly invited Yuto to join him for some fun, but Yuto declined as he was busy completing his bet early. As he watched Yuto walk away, Jiraiya turned his attention to Orochimaru who was seated next to him.

Although Orochimaru appeared cold and distant, he had only recently joined the school and it wasn't his fault that Jiraiya was busy with other people. Jiraiya decided to take the initiative to befriend him, realizing that Orochimaru was one of the three geniuses and couldn't be ignored.

"Never mind, I'll make the first move," thought Jiraiya as he contemplated his feelings.

However, when he returned to his senses and was ready to approach Orochimaru, he realized that Orochimaru had already disappeared.

"Damn it, this guy didn't wait for me!" Jiraiya muttered under his breath as he hurriedly followed in Orochimaru's direction.

That day, the names of Yuto, Orochimaru, and Jiraiya became the talk of the school, causing an uproar.

Many individuals from commoner backgrounds admired them, while a significant number of ninja families couldn't believe their success and were envious of them.

Having been in their shoes before, these individuals knew how challenging it was to successfully induce Chakra within three days. Such a feat not only allowed them to enter the world of ninja earlier, but also meant that they had a higher Chakra control ability, which would greatly benefit their future ninjutsu learning.

Similar to how two people learning the same ninjutsu at the same time, the one with better Chakra control tends to learn faster and have stronger ninjutsu.

A prime example is the First and Second Hokage Senju Hashirama and Tobirama, respectively. Tobirama's Chakra control is considered the best in the ninja world, which is why his Water Style is known as the strongest Water Style.

Ignoring the outside commotion, Yuto made his way to an open space in the training grounds, silently recalling the details of the ninjutsu he had just memorized. He began to unconsciously form hand seals.

"Tiger → Hare → Boar → Dog or Ram → Dog → Ox → Snake, Earth Release: "Earth-Style Wall!" "

A/N: Although this technique is classified as a B-rank technique in Narutopedia, let's assume that in this current era it is only considered as a C-rank.]

Clapping his hands onto the ground, Chakra flowed quickly along his palms.

In front of Yuto, a small mound of earth rose slowly, barely reaching Yuto's knee before stopping.

"Eh... It seems my Chakra still isn't enough!"

Yuto was helpless in this situation. He had to take into account the healthy development of his body, so he couldn't spend too much time practicing Chakra. Although Yuto's talent in ninjutsu was exceptional, he was held back by the insufficiency of his Chakra, which required patience to improve.

Yuto estimated that he needed to increase the amount of Chakra in his body by about 50 times to successfully release the Earth-Style Wall ninjutsu. Given his current rate of improvement, it would take about a year to reach his goal.

Yuto knew that the Chakra consumption was to be expected. After all, a C-level ninjutsu required a large amount of Chakra. A qualified Genin should be able to release C-level ninjutsu three times with their Chakra. Based on Yuto's current Chakra reserves, it would take a few days just to see an improvement, and it wouldn't be long before a year had passed. It was no wonder Yuto was speechless about this slow speed.

Despite this setback, Yuto had no other choice. He couldn't practice Chakra too hard without causing harm to his physical development, so he had to endure it for the time being.

"Another year... it's really troublesome. I guess I'll focus on theoretical knowledge for now. Maybe I'll be able to solve this problem after I finish learning medical ninjutsu."

Since he couldn't practice ninjutsu for the time being, Yuto decided to focus on physical training. He had recently come up with a good way to quickly improve his combat effectiveness.

[A/N: The three bod technique are: Clone Jutsu (Bunshin no Jutsu) Transformation Jutsu (Henge no Jutsu) Substitution Jutsu (Kawarimi no Jutsu)]
