Chapter 19 Wood Release Scroll
"Because I have mastered Wood Release."
Xuanma was calm and serene.
Tsunade's pupils dilated in shock upon hearing this. She slammed her hand on the table, her body instantly straightening, her breasts heaving: "What?!"
Genma met Tsunade's gaze and said, "Lady Tsunade, I have mastered Wood Release, although it was done through a trick."
Tsunade glared at Genma: "Kid, if you dare lie to me, I'll make sure your butt gets a good beating."
Genma's eyelids twitched, then he stood up: "Come with me!"
The two went out one after the other, and Xuanma found a deserted grove of trees and went inside.
There are plenty of leaf-covered trees in this area, so you don't necessarily have to go to remote places.
Stopping in her tracks, Tsunade crossed her arms and looked down at Genma: "What was that shortcut you were talking about?"
Genma reached out and placed his hand on the trunk of a large tree: "This..."
He refined Wood Release chakra, and blue eyeshadow appeared.
Tsunade's pupils constricted sharply, and her arms involuntarily fell to her sides: "What... what's going on?"
Xuanma did not destroy the tree; he only extracted a portion of it.
He explained to the shocked Tsunade, "As you can see, I combined my spiritual power with the cellular power of plants to extract Wood Release chakra."
Tsunade instinctively took a step forward, exclaiming in surprise, "How is this even possible?"
Genma smiled and injected the Wood Release chakra he had refined into the large tree beside him, which had almost lost all its leaves and whose power he had just extracted. The tree immediately seemed to have entered spring again.
Tender buds sprout from the branches and quickly grow into lush green leaves, standing out from the other trees.
Tsunade stared blankly for a while before turning her gaze to Genma, who had already stopped and whose eyeshadow had disappeared: "How did you do that?"
Genma shrugged: "Since chakra can be extracted from human cells, it's reasonable that plant cells can too, right?"
That little rascal really deserves a beating!
Seeing Genma like this, Tsunade felt a little itchy and her fists hardened.
However, she held back, afraid that she might accidentally kill someone.
Taking a deep breath to calm herself, Tsunade looked at the tree: "So, your Wood Release can only be used with chakra extracted from plants?"
Xuanma nodded: "That's how it is for now."
"However, my body is being affected by this power and is constantly being improved."
Tsunade seemed to understand Genma's underlying meaning.
She didn't ask any further questions and simply turned around: "Let's go, I can give you the Wood Release technique."
Genma blinked: "Eh, doesn't Lady Tsunade want to learn?"
Tsunade turned her head: "No normal person could possibly learn something this abnormal."
Something seems off about the script!
Xuanma followed, muttering to himself, "To draw conclusions without even trying is too hasty."
"What if I learn it?"
Upon returning home, Tsunade immediately retrieved the Wood Release scroll.
The scroll was small, but when Genma opened it, he found that the contents were very rich, all of them were Wood Release secret techniques left by Hashirama Senju.
From the Wooden Ingot Wall to the Wooden Dragon Technique, and even the True Thousand Hands that require Sage Mode to perform.
Genma was overjoyed: "Thank you, Lady Tsunade."
Tsunade waved her hand, a hint of melancholy in her voice, and said, "Anyway, no one else can master Wood Release except you."
As Genma put away the scroll, he said, "Theoretically speaking, there isn't much difference between extracting chakra from our own cells and extracting it from the cells of plants and other animals."
"From my own experience in cultivation, the most difficult part is sensing the energy of plant cells."
"Once you perceive it, the refining process will naturally follow."
"Of course, you should also be careful not to overdo it. It's best to keep your mental strength, physical strength, and plant cell strength in a 1:1:1 ratio and not exceed your own chakra limit, otherwise there is a risk of becoming petrified."
Tsunade gave Genma a slightly strange look, then waved her hand: "I understand, I'll try it when I have time."
"However, you shouldn't casually reveal cultivation methods."
Genma smiled and said, "I only said that because Lady Tsunade is one of us."
Tsunade gave a soft hum and remained silent.
But there was still some joy in my heart.
Genma didn't stay at Tsunade's house for long. Having mastered the ninjutsu, he had to focus on training.
Time passed day by day.
After a period of rest, Sakumo Hatake became busier than ever before.
This clearly indicates that Xuanma's viewpoint was accepted, and that this method should be used to compensate for the losses from the mission's failure.
Fortunately, both Genma and Kakashi are very self-disciplined and do not need constant supervision.
Autumn passed and winter came in the blink of an eye, and then spring came again.
Konoha Hospital.
After the surgery was completed, Xuanma took off his white protective suit in the changing room and waited in the corridor for a while before seeing his mother and Shizune come out together.
"Genma, are you planning to have lunch at the hospital?"
Yufeng Lixiang asked, expressing her wish that her son and Shizune would eat with her at the hospital.
She adores Jingyin.
Genma glanced at Shizune and said, "Shizune and I are going to Lady Tsunade's place."
Ritsuka said with a hint of regret, "Alright, then you can go. Don't keep Lady Tsunade waiting."
Goodbye, Mom!
Goodbye, Auntie!
Waving goodbye, Genma and Shizune walked out.
They were all assisting in today's surgery; Yufeng Ritsuka was the one leading them.
This is Konoha's newly launched medical ninja training program, hosted by Tsunade.
Of course, Tsunade doesn't personally get involved.
Genma knew the reason, but still asked Shizune, "Shizune, do you know why Lady Tsunade hasn't come to the hospital?"
Shizune thought for a moment and said, "Maybe it's because they need to develop new medical ninjutsu?"
Tsunade has to work as long as she doesn't leave the village, but she's not needed on missions. However, Hiruzen Sarutobi would be heartbroken if a powerful medical ninja wasn't put in the Konoha Hospital.
Tsunade compromised and, on Genma's advice, initiated this medical ninja training program.
It consists of night school plus mentorship programs.
Students who already have a certain foundation in ninja can enroll at the Ninja Academy and receive instruction from Konoha medical ninjas at Konoha Hospital on evenings when they don't have classes.
Then, on weekends, they would observe the medical ninjas at the hospital or practice directly.
Genma and Shizune's medical ninjutsu was already quite good, so they directly participated in practical exercises.
Like her companion, Nohara Rin was still in the night school training phase.
It's currently the weekend, and Nohara Rin should be in the training room playing with small animals.
"Even if they develop new techniques, surely they'll have time to come to the hospital?"
"If Lady Tsunade personally mentors the students, it should attract more people to become medical ninjas."
"I think she's slacking off."
Genma planned to use this excuse to see if he could expose Tsunade's hemophobia.
It's easier to treat if you break the skin first.
However, although Shizune also felt that Tsunade was showing signs of slacking off, she still defended her, saying, "Perhaps Lady Tsunade needs to concentrate fully!"
"Besides, when it comes to teaching students, it doesn't really matter whether Lady Tsunade is there or not, right?"
"The requirements for becoming a medical ninja are even more stringent, and many people don't meet them!"
Hearing Shizune's words, Genma sighed, "Well, it seems I can't persuade Lady Tsunade."
Shizune chuckled a little sheepishly, then cleverly asked, "Genma, do you have some other purpose?"
What a clever girl.
Genma secretly praised her, then thought for a moment and said, "I just feel that Lady Tsunade seems to have some unspeakable secret."
Shizune exclaimed in surprise, "Oh, you have this?"
"I don't think I noticed it at all."
