Chapter 33: Improvement Completed
"Tsunade-sama, Hyuga Mirai just asked me for some Sealing Jutsu practice materials."
"Tsunade-sama, Hyuga Mirai has already started trying to improve the Healing Tag."
"Tsunade-sama…"
"I know, Kimura!"
Tsunade angrily slammed the pen in her hand on the table and said to Kimura, "I'm not going back on my word, you don't need to keep emphasizing it!"
"That's not what I meant, Tsunade-sama."
Kimura looked at Tsunade, who was a little annoyed, and couldn't help but smile slightly, then seriously said to Tsunade,
"Tsunade-sama, Hyuga Mirai's talent in Medical Ninjutsu, in my opinion, is almost catching up to yours, Tsunade-sama; I feel that within ten years, Mirai-kun can shoulder the responsibility of Konoha's medical system, if Tsunade-sama you also stay…"
"Don't say anymore!"
Tsunade's face showed impatience as she snapped. Regarding this matter, whether it was the Third Hokage or anyone else who knew about it, they all wanted to persuade her to stay in Konoha.
All they talked about was for Konoha, and no one considered her feelings.
This would only make her increasingly disgusted with the village of Konoha!
Staying in Konoha, besides training Medical Ninja, she would just be treating others' illnesses. Beyond that, she even had to mind her image when having a small drink; the old Konoha was something she wanted to protect, but now Tsunade only felt Konoha was a prison, and if she stayed here any longer, she was afraid she wouldn't be able to bear it.
What's more, with her hemophobia, she couldn't even perform surgeries now. Was she supposed to stay and be a mascot for others?!
Next month, she would let Shizune graduate from the Nin school, and then they would leave this place.
Tsunade thought, having made up her mind; she was leaving, and no one could stop her.
Then, she got up directly and walked outside.
Kimura was startled and asked, "Tsunade-sama, where are you going?"
"I'm in a bad mood, going to relax!"
"But you just decided to handle documents today…"
Before Kimura could finish her sentence, Tsunade had already left the office. Kimura sighed, then picked up the documents from Tsunade's desk, intending to take them back to her own office to finish processing.
Hyuga Mirai's progress was quite smooth. With the scroll on the application of Sealing Runes sent by Kimura, he became even more proficient in improving the Healing Tag.
When conducting research at Konoha Hospital, Hyuga Mirai could eat as much as he wanted to quickly recover his energy. With sufficient supplies, three Shadow Clones plus his main body worked hard to improve the Healing Tag, and soon made rapid progress.
Working day and night on the research and improvement, Hyuga Mirai and his Shadow Clones tried many methods.
On the eighth day, Hyuga Mirai finally perfected the Healing Tag.
"With a three-three-four sealing rune array, the Yang Release Chakra should be perfectly sealed within this Chakra paper."
Hyuga Mirai looked at the palm-sized Healing Tag in his hand and smiled with satisfaction.
If he were to deepen his research, he could continue to improve the Sealing Runes and reduce the use of Chakra paper. From another perspective, it could also be research into attaching Yang Release Chakra to other materials, such as healing ninja uniforms with Mystical Palm Technique, healing headbands, and so on.
"However, internal injuries require a Medical Ninja to guide the Yang Release Chakra on the side. Without a Medical Ninja, it can only heal general external wounds, but that's enough."
With the Healing Tag, Chakra of Medical Ninja can be greatly saved on the battlefield. With only a small amount of Chakra guidance, many healing surgeries can be completed.
This is a huge industry. If developed, it could plunder massive amounts of funds in the Ninja World. At the same time, the development of Medical Ninja tools is a catalyst for war.
When injuries are guaranteed to be treated, ninjas fear war less.
However, these were too far away for Hyuga Mirai. When he had his own forces in the future, he wouldn't mind continuing to deepen the research of Medical Ninja tools. But in the current situation, the perfected Healing Tag was enough to satisfy the Konoha High-Level Executives.
Then, Hyuga Mirai took the improved Healing Tag and the summarized drawing steps directly to Vice Director Kimura's office.
After knocking and receiving permission, Hyuga Mirai pushed the door open and walked in.
The seemingly decisive female director was handling official business behind a mountain of documents. Hyuga Mirai didn't know where a small hospital got so many things to deal with.
Hyuga Mirai directly said, "Vice Director, the Healing Tag has been successfully improved. From yesterday until now, not a single bit of Yang Release Chakra has leaked."
"It's already successful!?"
Kimura stood up in surprise and asked. Only eight days had passed. Although she had always praised Hyuga Mirai's talent, the person standing in front of her was still a boy.
The other team working on improving the Healing Tag still had no news, but the boy who researched alone had already succeeded.
Kimura left her desk and came to Hyuga Mirai, taking the Healing Tag from his hand.
It was much smaller than the half-finished product she saw the first time, only slightly larger than a palm; the Sealing Runes formed a three-three-four enclosure around a large 'Yang' character. If the seal wasn't released, Kimura couldn't feel any trace of Chakra on this Healing Tag.
It was perfect. If she reported this to the Third Hokage, it would be equivalent to the merits of at least three S-rank missions.
If Konoha stockpiled enough of these Healing Tags, it would be like having several medical masters appear on the battlefield.
Kimura looked at Hyuga Mirai with a slightly complex expression. It seemed she had underestimated Hyuga Mirai's talent as a ninja. Perhaps he could be like Tsunade-sama… perhaps he might even surpass Tsunade-sama in the future, who knows.
"Mirai-kun, you and I will go see the Hokage-sama. For researching and improving the Healing Tag, Hokage-sama will definitely give you great merit."
Hyuga Mirai was startled when he heard this, and after some thought, he said, "Okay, are we going now?"
"Right now."
Vice Director Kimura didn't even want to deal with the documents on her desk. She immediately took Hyuga Mirai, along with the Healing Tag and the report in his hand, and rushed to the Hokage Building.
Not long after leaving Konoha Hospital, Hyuga Mirai and Kimura suddenly saw Tsunade walking towards them, her face still flushed with alcohol.
Hyuga Mirai's eyes moved, and he suddenly waved and shouted to Tsunade, "Tsunade-sama, I've accumulated many questions. I'll ask you for guidance tomorrow."
After speaking, he even held the Healing Tag between his fingers and shook it to Tsunade as a gesture.
Then, Hyuga Mirai and Kimura walked towards the Hokage Building, while Tsunade remained in place. After a moment of stunned, she dispelled the alcohol from her body and came back to her senses, thinking,
"That Byakugan Brat, was he provoking me just now?"
The more Tsunade recalled, the more she felt that the Byakugan Brat's provocation was full of meaning. She immediately felt anger welling up in her heart and stomped her foot fiercely.
"Damn Byakugan Brat!"
Hokage Building
Hiruzen Sarutobi looked at the Healing Tag in his hand with great satisfaction. If Konoha stockpiled a large number of Healing Tags, it could make up for Tsunade's absence. Even if a war started in the future, they wouldn't fear that the number of Medical Ninja wouldn't be enough.
What a pity, someone so talented is a Hyuga Branch Family ninja; just the Caged Bird Curse Mark on his forehead made Hiruzen Sarutobi not want him to join the Anbu.
Otherwise, if he was taken into the Anbu and trained, in ten years, Hyuga Mirai would be his loyal and capable subordinate; the loyalty and ability required by the Anbu, neither can be missing, but a Hyuga Branch Family ninja's first loyalty is definitely to the Main Family.
But now, Hiruzen Sarutobi needed to think about other ways to reward him.
