Chapter 189: Rin Suspects Something
That ninjutsu is the A-rank medical ninjutsu, Mystical Palm Technique.
It's considered the most widely applicable medical ninjutsu, but unfortunately, very few learn it.
With Mystical Palm Technique, one can use the power of chakra to heal the patient's injuries.
The principle is to output chakra from the palm, which can enhance the healing ability of the affected area.
The difficulty lies in adjusting the chakra output according to the severity of the injury.
This greatly tests the practitioner's insight and experience, so there aren't many ninjas who know how to use it.
In addition, excessive chakra output can disrupt the patient's normal circulatory system, causing the patient to fall into a coma.
But Mystical Palm Technique can effectively treat not only external injuries but also internal diseases.
"Thank you, Nono-sensei."
Kiyoshi was secretly delighted.
This is the first A-rank ninjutsu he has obtained.
Once mastered, he might be able to upgrade [Medical Chunin (Blue)], which would give another bonus.
It also means that Kiyoshi's medical ninjutsu is ready to be put into practice. Many ninjas engaged in the medical profession do not know this kind of ninjutsu.
"It's nothing."
Nono shook her head and gave Kiyoshi several more ninjutsu scrolls.
Their difficulty was not as high as Mystical Palm Technique, all being at the B-rank, such as Delicate Illness Extraction Technique.
Afterward, Nono took Kiyoshi out for a simple meal, then went home to rest.
Kiyoshi knew that the next time he sees Nono, it will probably be at the orphanage.
He was not in a hurry about this matter. He was determined to save Nono.
However, if Nono voluntarily helped him improve his pupil power, Kiyoshi wouldn't mind.
…
The next day
"When are we going to Kushina-sama's house?"
Obito asked, pillowing his head on his arms.
The three-man squad was walking on the streets of the village.
Minato knew space-time ninjutsu, which was extremely useful for transmitting information and launching surprise attacks on the battlefield.
At this moment, he was still far away, actively engaged in battle on a battlefield thousands of kilometers away.
"Let's go tomorrow night." Rin said softly.
When they had come back, Minato had asked them to go to Kushina's house to check on Kushina.
"Alright."
Kakashi's expression was indifferent, and there was no fluctuation in his eyes.
"If there's nothing else, I'm going back." Kakashi said.
He had heard of Kiyoshi's outstanding performance in escorting intelligence on the mission and felt the pressure.
He vaguely remembered that Kiyoshi was once weaker than him. He didn't know when it had started, but he had lost to Kiyoshi time and time again.
Whether it was swordsmanship or other aspects, he seemed to be lagging behind Kiyoshi.
Ninjas prioritize completing missions. But Kiyoshi still trained diligently day after day without any slack.
How could he himself be lazy?
Kakashi turned and jumped onto the densely packed roofs.
For ninjas, these roofs are another faster and more agile road.
They can continuously run without worrying about pedestrians on the road.
"Kakashi…"
Rin wanted to call out to Kakashi, but Kakashi had already gone far away.
"Don't worry about that guy," Obito pouted.
He carefully adjusted his yellow goggles. He still hadn't "awakened" his sharingan.
However, Obito believed that it wouldn't be long before he could awaken the sharingan and then greatly increase his strength.
The reason why he always seemed inferior to Kakashi and Kiyoshi was just because he hadn't discovered his true potential yet.
"…Obito, I'm going back first too." Rin said softly.
She felt a little hot and bothered and just wanted to go home and take a hot bath.
This phenomenon had been going on for some time.
It seemed that this symptom had appeared after she began to learn Lightning Release under Kiyoshi.
According to Kiyoshi, this was normal. Her body was adapting to Lightning chakra.
"Okay, see you tomorrow."
Obito had no choice but to wave goodbye and walk home alone.
Rin decided to go home and wash up, then go to find Kiyoshi.
…
The afternoon sun was very strong, and the scorching sunlight passed through the sparse branches and leaves of the tree in the yard, casting shadows on the ground.
The white snake curled up in the shade under the tree, taking a nap.
It squinted its eyes to watch its master train, occasionally spitting out its bright red tongue, looking lazy.
"Gave me a new trait."
Kiyoshi looked at the trait panel.
A new Trait was displayed on it, named [Medical Jonin (Purple)].
The requirement to fully acquire it is to completely learn two A-rank medical ninjutsu.
Kiyoshi had only just browsed through Mystical Palm Technique once, and with his profound knowledge and chakra control, he had gained a considerable understanding.
The overall progress bar had reached 1%.
"It seems that if I learn more B-rank medical ninjutsu or perform surgery on patients, I should be able to obtain a blue trait and then fuse the blue traits to advance to a purple trait."
Kiyoshi explored the upgrade rules of the trait panel.
At present, learning an A-rank medical ninjutsu has resulted in the appearance of a purple trait without the need for synthesis.
This shows that only by learning high-difficulty ninjutsu can he unlock higher-rank traits.
This is faster than synthesis, but the disadvantage is that it requires more.
"The next step is gold?" Kiyoshi guessed.
Unfortunately, he only has one complete purple trait at present, and is still far from being able to obtain a gold trait.
Each time a trait is advanced, the upgrade requirements increase drastically.
The effect of the purple trait alone is powerful enough. Kiyoshi was looking forward to how strong the higher-rank trait would be.
"Kiyoshi, are you there?"
Samui's voice sounded outside.
Kiyoshi's eyes were calm. He had already guessed that Samui would come.
He closed the panel and opened the door. What came into hus view was Samui in casual clothes.
Her lower body was covered by a skirt, and she wore a white short sleeve shirt on her upper body.
She looked youthful and beautiful.
Kiyoshi glanced at her a few more times and then made a please gesture to Samui.
Feeling Kiyoshi's gaze, Samui's cheeks flushed. She clenched her hands, and suppressed the urge to cover herself.
She followed Kiyoshi in with her head buried.
"Samui-san, you are more beautiful now than you were in the past."
Kiyoshi smiled and sat in front of the low table.
Samui followed suit and knelt, her calves pressed on the tatami mat, and her thighs crossed over her calves.
The kneeling posture caused Samui's skirt to move up, revealing a little thigh.
Faintly visible on the round thigh was a healthy muscle line, giving a sense of fitness.
The men of Kumogakure have good physical talent, and the women are not far behind.
With a little exercise, they can have a body with exaggerated curve proportions.
"After all, it's been several years since we had first met."
Samui continued from Kiyoshi 's opening remarks.
The current Kiyoshi no longer looks weak like a few years ago.
He has grown taller and stronger, and his eyebrows are filled with a heroic and extraordinary temperament.
He doesn't exude the arrogant, paranoid, or gloomy feeling like other Uchihas.
Just as Samui continued to secretly observe Kiyoshi's changes, Kiyoshi reached out into the kitchen.
The teapot and teacup in the kitchen all flew to the low table.
Kiyoshi's hand made Samui's eyes widen.
