Chapters 59-60: Itachi, Dai, Immortal Talisman
Chapters 59-60: Itachi, Dai, Immortal Talisman
The two finished their lunch together in a sweet and intimate manner. Xingyuan Qianshuo stayed until the afternoon when it was time for work before rushing back to the clinic.
There were no familiar faces among the patients in the afternoon.
He suppressed the urge to go to Tsunade's office and snuggle up to read books on pharmacy.
Although the system rewarded him with many medical ninjutsu techniques, professional medical knowledge is still a weakness he needs to improve.
Especially in the field of pharmacology, his foundation was weak—even the medicine used to treat Might Guy's hidden injuries was prepared under Tsunade's guidance.
Around 4 o'clock, the nurse asked him to set the bone and immobilize the wound for a patient with a broken leg.
On his way back, he caught a glimpse of a familiar figure—Uchiha Fugaku.
It has been about ten days since the last mission to heal "King Nekoarashi".
Today, the Fugaku clan chief is dressed in a loose green robe, and beside him is not the smell of medicine, but a beautiful woman.
Her eyes were as black as ink, her hair flowed like a waterfall, her temperament was gentle and quiet, and her demeanor was dignified and graceful, possessing the gentle and beautiful style of a traditional woman.
Xingyuan Qianshuo naturally wouldn't miss the opportunity to obtain system rewards, and quickly stepped forward to greet him, "Clan Chief Fugaku, we meet again. Is there anything I can help you with?"
"Hello, Chisaku," Fugaku Uchiha replied.
"Who is this?" Xingyuan Qianshuo had already recognized her; it was Uchiha Mikoto—the future mother of Itachi and Sasuke.
She is still very young, with delicate features, and her demeanor already exudes a gentle and domestic charm.
"This is my wife, Uchiha Mikoto," Fugaku introduced.
"Greetings, Madam Chief. My name is Hoshino Senju. I once served on a mission with Chief Fugaku." He introduced himself proactively.
"Hello, Dr. Chisaku." Mikoto Uchiha greeted him with a smile.
"What brings Chief Fugaku to the hospital this time...?" Hoshino Chisaku asked tentatively.
"Hmm... I'll accompany my wife for a medical check-up." Fugaku Uchiha's tone was slightly hesitant.
He was unsure whether he should reveal the details to Qian Shuo, since the other was a male doctor who was not yet twenty years old.
Xingyuan Qianshuo sensed the hesitation in his words, but for the sake of the system reward, he still looked at Uchiha Mikoto, whose cheeks were slightly flushed, and with a thought, activated the system's investigation:
Name: Uchiha Mikoto
[Symptoms: Early pregnancy, implantation bleeding, mild abdominal pain]
"Huh?" Xingyuan Qianshuo was slightly surprised, but his face remained expressionless.
He quickly pondered: "Itachi Uchiha could indeed be born in the next few years, but will it be next year? Did my contact with Fugaku trigger a butterfly effect?... Putting all that aside, the key point is that I'm really not suited to treating this kind of condition."
"It seems we should congratulate Chief Fugaku and his wife," Hoshino Sensaku said with a smile, still deciding to try and obtain the reward.
"Chisaku, you figured it out?" Uchiha Fugaku asked in surprise.
"It's mostly speculation. I'll take you to see Professor Biwako; she's very experienced in this area." Hoshino Senju ultimately didn't have the heart to suggest examining it himself.
Hearing him say that, the two of them breathed a sigh of relief.
Fugaku Uchiha quickly thanked him, "Thank you very much. I'm really sorry to trouble you this time, Lord Biwako."
They had hoped to have the elder, Sarutobi Biwako, examine them, but they hesitated to disturb her because she was the Hokage's wife.
Now that Xingyuan Qianshuo is introducing us, things are naturally much more convenient.
At the entrance to the dean's office, Xingyuan Qianshuo asked the two to wait a moment while he knocked on the door and went in to explain the situation.
Although it was somewhat presumptuous, Biwako did not object and readily agreed to inspect it herself—it was just a small favor for her.
She herself had no prejudice against the Uchiha clan, and since the other party was the clan head and his wife, it was worth her personal intervention.
After leaving her office, Biwako met with Fugaku and his wife, then led them to the gynecology clinic. On the way, she had Hoshino Sensaku call over Snake Jai and Skui, never forgetting to guide her juniors.
Fugaku Uchiha and Chisaku Hoshino were left outside the clinic, where they sat down on a bench in the corridor and chatted.
Xingyuan Qianshuo learned that they had been married for nearly a year and had been hoping to have a child. When she discovered signs of pregnancy, she rushed to the hospital to confirm it.
He expressed his understanding of this—after all, the Uchiha were a major clan in Konoha, and as the clan head, the succession of his descendants was indeed important.
But the more he thought about it, the more suspicious it seemed: according to the system's investigation, the fertilized egg had just implanted, which happened right after he and Fugaku completed the Cat Castle mission.
In other words, if the child is born successfully, he will have indirectly played a role in the process.
Under normal circumstances, the union of different sperm and eggs will result in children with different appearances and personalities.
So, will this fertilized egg develop into the future "filial son" Uchiha Itachi? It would be interesting if it were a girl?
After a period of random thoughts, Xingyuan Qianshuo decided to believe in the corrective power of the Naruto world.
Otherwise, wouldn't all the unborn Konoha 11s be completely different?
This is practically a clash between biomedical and corrective forces in the Naruto world, and Hoshino Senju is very curious about which side will gain the upper hand.
The examination in the consultation room did not last long; it mainly involved explaining some precautions for early pregnancy.
A dozen minutes later, the group came out.
Mikoto Uchiha wore a joyful expression, clearly confirming her pregnancy.
After offering their congratulations and thanks, Fugaku Uchiha and his wife left Konoha Hospital.
Xingyuan Qianshuo was equally pleased—he had indeed received a system reward and couldn't wait to return to the consultation room to check:
[You assisted in examining Mikoto Uchiha's pregnancy and provided guidance on precautions during early pregnancy. Rewards: Magical Illusion: Naraku Sight Technique (Mastery), Uchiha Physique Fragment *1, Chakra +200]
"Wow!" Hoshino Senju exclaimed inwardly, "A fragment of the Uchiha physique? Is this the prelude to awakening the Sharingan?"
"The Sharingan is powerful and has enormous potential, but it requires intense negative emotions to awaken. My greatest emotional bond right now is Tsunade; I can't lose her."
"To awaken one's eyes through the emotional turmoil of losing loved ones is simply an evil path. As a Yin Release technique, the key should be spiritual power. If one can transform strong spiritual power into eye power, one should be able to awaken it as well."
He doesn't intend to give up his Uchiha physique, but he also doesn't plan to take the path of awakening his Sharingan through negative emotions.
After all, the system has previously rewarded basic attributes such as chakra control, agility, and neural reaction speed, so it is very likely that it will reward improved mental strength in the future.
In the world of Naruto, dominated by the Otsutsuki bloodline, the Uchiha physique, being a descendant of Indra, the son of Hagoromo Otsutsuki, is undoubtedly a ticket to becoming a powerful figure.
Moreover, since the Uchiha physique can be rewarded, there will inevitably be other powerful physiques to be rewarded in the future.
If he can possess all of these qualities, his potential and ceiling will be greatly enhanced.
Xingyuan Qianshuo opened the system inventory, and a blood-red crystal appeared inside.
He tried to remove the fragments, but the system did not respond.
"It seems this is just a display form in the inventory; it cannot actually be taken out."
He thought to himself, "The system is a bit stingy. Couldn't it just give me the complete Uchiha physique directly? Why do I have to collect fragments? This isn't a game."
The system did not specify how many fragments were needed, nor did it indicate under what circumstances treating Uchiha clan members might yield them.
He wasn't even sure if the reward came from Mikoto Uchiha or from Itachi Uchiha, who was still a fertilized egg in her womb.
"Forget it, let's just take it one step at a time and let nature take its course."
Xingyuan Qianshuo stopped thinking and, with a thought, extracted his first illusion skill.
Memories of past experiences with Yin-attribute chakra nature transformation and the "Naraku-sight Technique" flooded my mind.
This is a basic illusion technique that uses chakra to interfere with the target's nervous system, forcibly triggering the physical manifestation of deep-seated fear memories in the brain.
This is also the earliest illusion technique to appear in the original work.
When Team 7 was trying to steal the bell, Kakashi used it on Sakura;
During the Chunin Exams, Orochimaru, disguised as a Grass Ninja, also used this technique to exert mental pressure on the entire Team 7.
This technique relies on the caster's mental strength and is a type of illusion that suppresses the weak by the strong.
At this moment, Xingyuan Qianshuo remembered that he already possessed seven chakra natures, and then opened his system personal panel to check:
Name: Xingyuan Qianshuo
Age: 19
Chakra: 12479
[Attributes: Fire, Wind, Thunder, Earth, Water, Yin, Yang]
……
"Recently, I have acquired the A-rank Shuriken Shadow Clone Technique, the Four Symbols Sealing Technique, and the Yin Healing and Destruction Technique, as well as two secret techniques, the Partial Expansion Technique and the Tracking Chakra Needle. I have mastered at least one of each of the Five Elements Ninjutsu."
"With my chakra exceeding 10,000 and mastery of the Rasengan, I should now be considered to have stepped into the threshold of elite Jonin."
Xingyuan Qianshuo felt slightly satisfied, but then he realized that he still couldn't stop Minato's Flying Thunder God Instant Kill, and his emotions quickly calmed down.
He calmly reflected on his actions:
"Most of my offensive ninjutsu are only at the proficiency level. Although I am proficient in the Rasengan, it is a close-combat type, and I especially lack an S-rank trump card."
"Overall, I can now easily deal with Chunin and defeat most ordinary Jonin, but it's difficult to defeat elite Jonin."
After analyzing the personal data, he opened the task panel:
Main Quest 1: Become the strongest medical ninja in the ninja world. Rewards unknown, progress 18%.
"Great progress, almost at 20%. Last time, I got three Senzu Beans as a reward for 10%, I wonder if there will be another reward for 20% this time, it's something to look forward to."
After closing the system panel, Xingyuan Qianshuo saw four or five more patients before clocking out.
He couldn't wait to go to Tsunade's office, wanting to invite her to dinner.
Unfortunately, it didn't work out.
In the morning, Tsunade keenly noticed that her grandmother's mood was a little strange, but she didn't pay much attention to it at first.
But throughout the day, that intuition continued to urge her on.
So she decided to go back and keep her grandmother company.
Although Xingyuan Qianshuo was rejected, he didn't think much of it and instead offered compensation—he took her hand all the way home.
As they left Tsunade's office, Hoshino Senju took Tsunade's delicate hand with a smug look on his face.
When he encountered his colleagues, he nodded in greeting with a calm expression.
Seeing this, Tsunade rolled her eyes at him, but still accompanied him all the way to "assert her dominance".
Outside the Thousand Hands Mansion, in a secluded corner.
The two lingered intimately for a long time, shared a deep kiss, and reluctantly parted.
as a result of,
A night of longing, a spring dream lingering.
The next morning, Xingyuan Qianshuo changed his clothes and took a shower.
After a quick breakfast, he headed to Konoha Hospital.
Shadow clones continued to provide medical consultations, while the real body studied sealing techniques in Tsunade's office.
In terms of sealing techniques, he began to learn some non-core sealing techniques of the Uzumaki clan, including the Evil Sealing Seal and the Fire Sealing Seal.
The former was used by Kakashi to seal Sasuke's Heavenly Curse Seal;
The latter was used by Jiraiya to seal the black flames left by Itachi Uchiha's Amaterasu.
These non-core sealing techniques are mostly B-level, and they are extremely difficult to learn on your own without relying on system rewards.
Even though Xingyuan Qianshuo has integrated the basic experience scroll of sealing techniques, it is still difficult for him to master it in a short period of time.
Around 10 a.m., Matt arrived at the hospital, panting heavily.
He had just finished a genin mission and rushed over to receive his final treatment for his hidden injuries.
The shadow clone, Qian Shuo, consciously summoned his main body to heal him.
Since the medicine had been prepared in advance with Tsunade's assistance, the treatment was not difficult and was successfully completed after half an hour.
Xingyuan Qianshuo saw off the profusely grateful Matt Dai and told him to take good care of his health and to come to the hospital for a check-up every six months.
He wasn't sure if Dai would listen, but it didn't matter—if they met again in the future, he could use the system to check on him at any time.
Patients like Matt Day, who are considered "VIPs," deserve his long-term attention.
Back in the consultation room, he eagerly checked the system notification:
[You have healed 15 hidden injuries on Might Guy's body, and have received the following rewards: Muscle Strength +20%, Tendons and Bones +20%, Stamina +20%, Eight Inner Gates "Third Gate" (Mastery), Leaf Whirlwind (Mastery), Chakra +500]
"Wow, what a bumper harvest!" Xingyuan Qianshuo exclaimed with delight.
"It's a pity they only gave me the first three gates of the Eight Gates. But even if they had given me the complete set, my current body wouldn't be able to handle it."
"The first three gates are a safe zone. They can improve the speed of physical attack and defense without damaging the body, making them a suitable trump card at this stage."
"Leaf Whirlwind" is a taijutsu technique frequently used by Might Guy and Rock Lee in the original work.
Xingyuan Qianshuo couldn't remember whether Kai created it himself or learned it from his father, but that didn't matter.
As a basic taijutsu technique, it is comparable to the kunai thrust, and it is effective against weaker opponents, but its effectiveness is limited against stronger enemies or ninjas of the same level.
Muscle strength, musculoskeletal strength, and endurance all increase by 20% simultaneously, a significant improvement.
He had previously received a 20% increase in chakra control, two 10% increases in agility, and a 20% increase in neural reaction speed.
Although these attributes are not displayed in the personal panel, their importance as basic physical abilities is self-evident.
Chakra is the core of a ninja's fighting power, and a strong physique is also the foundation.
Regardless of the fact that chakra and physical strength can be converted into each other, taijutsu, as one of the three major systems of "ninjutsu, taijutsu and genjutsu", is indispensable.
Ordinary ninjas have limited chakra and can use very few ninjutsu in battle, relying mostly on taijutsu, swordsmanship, ninja tools, traps, and explosive tags to fight.
Furthermore, the numerous ninjutsu techniques developed based on taijutsu have significantly expanded the upper limit of taijutsu's lethality.
Even when facing Six Paths Obito, Six Paths Madara, and the Otsutsuki clan, who can absorb ninjutsu chakra, only Sage Mode and Taijutsu are effective; ordinary ninjutsu would only aid the enemy.
Xingyuan Qianshuo extracted the experience memories of the "Three Gates" and "Leaf Whirlwind" of the Eight Gates Formation in turn, and finally extracted the three physical enhancement rewards.
"hiss--"
The tingling sensation spreading throughout his body made him gasp, feeling as if he were in heaven.
Fortunately, he was the only one in the examination room; otherwise, if word got out that he looked like this, he might have suffered social death.
The tingling sensation lasted for a minute or two, but it felt like an hour or two had passed.
When he stopped, he was panting heavily, his body drenched in cold sweat.
After a short rest, Xingyuan Qianshuo stood up and clenched his fist, displaying a powerful and energetic manner, showing that he had indeed become much stronger.
He even had the illusion that his body was several times stronger, but he understood that this was just a perceptual distortion caused by the sudden enhancement.
Looking at his medical gown soaked with sweat, he closed the door and took out spare clothes from the wardrobe.
After taking off his clothes, his skin was soaked with sweat, revealing his clearly defined muscles.
He clenched his fists and exerted force suddenly, his muscles bulging, his contours smooth and powerful, exuding a powerful beauty.
"Not bad, the improvement in these few minutes is equivalent to a year of hard training." Xingyuan Qianshuo nodded in satisfaction.
Suddenly, a strong feeling of hunger struck.
It seems that this physical enhancement has consumed a lot of stamina and chakra.
He took out two high-grade soldier ration pills from his ninja tool bag, threw them into his mouth, chewed and swallowed them to relieve his hunger.
I've had strange sensations when I've improved my agility and reflexes before, but never this intense.
Although it relieved the hunger, it did not provide any sense of fullness or satisfaction.
Xingyuan Qianshuo was about to leave work early for dinner when he suddenly noticed another notification from the system:
[Main Quest 1: Become the strongest medical ninja in the ninja world, progress 20%, reward: Sage Talisman *1]
"Huh? The reward is actually a Celestial Talisman?" Xingyuan Qianshuo was surprised. This was just as unexpected as the Celestial Bean reward for the 10% progress last time.
An extra talisman has appeared in my inventory.
With a thought, the talisman appeared in his hand.
It looked unremarkable—a talisman slightly larger than the palm of your hand, with the character "仙" (immortal) written in the center, surrounded by small runes, and large, twisted runes on the outer edge.
Even Xingyuan Qianshuo, who had already integrated the basic experience of sealing techniques, couldn't understand these runes at all.
This was not any of the ones he remembered; perhaps it was an ancient tradition from Mount Myoboku.
Having been familiar with the Naruto storyline, he remembered all the treasures that appeared in the series.
The Immortal's Talisman appeared in the recap of the story, and he remembered it vividly.
A thousand years ago, when Hagoromo Otsutsuki was determined to rebel against his mother Kaguya, Gamamaru gave him the rare treasure of the Toad Kingdom—the only Sage's Talisman.
It was Hagoromo who used a talisman to revive his younger brother Hamura, who had been killed by Kaguya.
According to the plot, that card should have already been used.
In this way, the one in Xingyuan Qianshuo's hand is the only one of its kind in the world.
The talisman contains profound Sage Chakra, which can infuse the user with powerful Sage Power, replenish the consumption of Sage Mode, and also has the effect of bringing the dead back to life.
However, if used to save lives, the talisman will be consumed in one go.
Xingyuan Qianshuo tried to sense the power within, but even holding it in his hand, he couldn't detect anything special about it; it was as if it were just an ordinary talisman.
Injecting chakra might activate it, but he restrained the impulse—
Firstly, the environment is unsuitable, and it would be troublesome if it caused any unusual activity; secondly, the talismans are too precious to be used lightly.
Furthermore, the Sage Chakra sealed within is somewhat dangerous to him now; if he were to accidentally absorb it into his body, he might very well turn into a toad statue.
Xingyuan Qianshuo carefully examined the runes on the immortal talisman, pondering in his heart:
"If only I could learn these runes, they wouldn't be needed to bring the dead back to life. Just being able to store and release chakra would be extremely valuable."
When Xingyuan Qianshuo obtained the Senzu Beans last time, he wanted to try planting them, but Senzu Beans are ultimately products of another world and may not be able to adapt to the local environment. In addition, there were only three, which were too precious, so he did not put it into practice in the end.
Now that he has obtained the Immortal's Talisman, he naturally does not want it to be used merely as a one-time resurrection item.
However, Gamamaru once claimed that it was the only treasure in the Toad Kingdom, so it must have been extremely difficult to make.
He suppressed his reverie, and with a thought, put the talisman back into his inventory.
