Chapter 9 Medical Ninjutsu
Chapter 9 Medical Ninjutsu
"Forced fusion won't work; the 'explosive' nature of the fire attribute is fundamentally in conflict with the 'stable' structure required by the Rasengan."
Genji frowned, realizing that he might have gone astray.
He was too eager for quick success, trying to achieve the goal in one step by combining the mature "Iron-Melting Fire" with the completed Rasengan.
"Perhaps we should try a different approach."
A thought flashed through his mind: "The nature change shouldn't be added after the Rasengan is formed. Instead, it should start from the source, allowing the nature change and form change to occur simultaneously, like weaving a rope, wrapping the fire attribute threads around it from the beginning, so that they can naturally achieve balance during the rotation and compression process."
This is a more subtle method, and one that requires even greater control.
This means he needs to multitask, maintaining the high-speed rotation and compression of chakra while precisely controlling another part of the chakra to complete the transformation of fire attribute, and ensuring that these two energies, which share the same origin but have different natures, find a harmonious resonance point at the moment of their birth.
"It's done in sync, allowing the flame to be born from rotation, rather than being injected into rotation."
Genma's fighting spirit was rekindled.
He stretched out his palm again, and chakra began to slowly gather.
This time, he didn't condense the Rasengan first.
Instead, he divided his mind into two streams: one guided the chakra to rotate in the palm of his hand in a basic manner, while the other simultaneously underwent a fire-attribute nature transformation.
Initially, these two forces were like unruly wild horses, difficult to coordinate.
Either the rotation stops first, or the fire-style chakra erupts too early.
However, under the powerful comprehension and microscopic control of chakra perception brought about by the soul replenishment, Genma adjusted at an astonishing speed.
He slowed down the entire process, as if dancing on the edge of a knife, carefully sensing the subtle balance between the two changes.
The rotation cannot stop, and the fire attribute cannot explode; the two must find a frequency where they can coexist.
Time passed slowly, and Genma's forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat. The burden brought on by the high concentration of his mind far exceeded the consumption of chakra.
However, the energy cluster in his palm began to exhibit a completely different state than before.
A pale blue, slightly unstable chakra sphere slowly emerged, and within it, faint wisps of crimson energy could be seen flowing like blood vessels as the whole rotated. Instead of trying to destroy the structure, they seemed to be injecting this energy sphere with a violent life force.
The surface of the sphere was no longer smooth, and occasionally tiny spike-like energy protruded, emitting a slight "crackling" sound. The surrounding air was distorted due to the high temperature, but the overall structure miraculously remained intact.
"Success! The first step!"
Genji was overjoyed, but dared not be careless in the slightest.
He knew that this was just an extremely unstable prototype, and there was still a long way to go before he could truly master "Fire Release: Rasengan".
It lasted for about three seconds, but the energy ball in the palm of the hand lost its balance due to a slight fluctuation. With a soft "pop," it turned into a small wisp of sparks and disappeared.
But this time, it wasn't an explosion; it dissipated rather peacefully.
Genma looked at the scattered sparks in his palm and a carefree and confident smile appeared on his face.
You're on the right track!
Although the road ahead remains difficult and requires countless practices to optimize and stabilize the integration process, the biggest obstacle has been overcome.
He could almost see a crimson chakra ball, burning with destructive flames and spinning steadily, taking shape in his palm.
That will be his unique and deadly weapon, the true beginning of the combination of form change and nature change, and one of his assets for survival in the perilous Naruto world.
"continue!"
Genma took a deep breath of the cold air, suppressed his excitement, and stretched out his palm again.
The chakra light on the scorched ground shone once more. This time, the crimson flames within the rotating energy sphere seemed clearer and more subdued.
……
As the cold winter fades, Konoha Village welcomes the early spring snow-melting season. The air is still crisp and cold, but the wind carries a hint of damp earth.
Genma's training did not slacken in the slightest due to the changing seasons.
Although the right direction of "simultaneous implementation" has been found, the actual difficulty of operation is beyond imagination.
This requires multitasking and an abnormal level of control over chakra.
Every attempt is like walking on the edge of a cliff. You must be highly focused. If you make the slightest mistake, the energy in your palm will become unbalanced, which may lead to dissipation or even a small-scale explosion.
Progress was slow but steady. Xuanjian could sense that the crimson, unstable energy sphere was lasting longer and longer each time, and the fire-attribute energy within it was becoming more and more docile.
Besides training in ninjutsu, Genma made another decision—he submitted an internship application to Konoha Hospital.
This was not a spur-of-the-moment decision. Genma, who knew the original work, knew that the ultimate form of ninjutsu was "Yin-Yang Release," and medical ninjutsu happened to be related to "Yin Release."
Although medical ninjutsu and true Yin-Yang Release may only have a superficial connection, Genma will not let go of even the slightest possibility.
Thanks to Tsunade's early advocacy and regulations, Konoha's medical ninja system is unique in the ninja world and highly valued.
The village encourages the discovery of students with medical ninja qualifications and provides them with systematic learning and practical opportunities.
The admission test at Konoha Hospital is not complicated, but it is extremely demanding on basic skills.
The examiner pointed to a test fish that had been anesthetized using a special technique and had a standard incision on its abdomen, and said to Genma, "Use healing magic to make it heal."
Genma held his breath and focused his mind, placing his hand above the fish's belly.
He did not rush to output chakra, but first used his chakra perception ability, which originated from Observation Haki, to carefully "scan" every minute structure of the wound. The broken muscle texture and the damaged capillaries were clearly visible in his mind.
He then mobilized his chakra.
Thanks to his long-term tree climbing, wading, and training in Fire Release: Rasengan during this period, coupled with the extraordinary comprehension brought about by the soul replenishment, his chakra control has become unparalleled.
A soft, emerald-green halo appeared in his palm, precisely covering the wound.
Chakra, like the most skillful knitting needle, stimulates cell regeneration and repair with an efficient and stable rhythm.
A look of surprise flashed in the eyes of the Chunin Exam Judge present. He had seen many talented children, but it was rare to see someone like Genma who could output chakra so stably, accurately, and efficiently on his first medical practice, with almost no waste.
In just a short while, the incision on the test fish's abdomen had visibly healed, leaving only a faint red mark.
