Chapter 53: Might Guy!

"What's the fourth point?"

Nawaki took a sharp breath, his anticipation building up. The three points mentioned earlier were complete restraints for him. Under such constraints, he couldn't unleash his own character traits. It didn't align with his style of combat!

Nawaki believed that he was a powerful warrior who could charge into the front lines, but now he had to engage in the uninteresting task of standing behind others and providing medical treatment.

If there were other options available, he wouldn't be acting so timidly.

"The fourth point!"

Tsunade solemnly extended her fourth finger, placing it directly in front of Nawaki. Her entire demeanor exuded an unprecedented seriousness.

In an instant, Nawaki's curiosity reached its peak.

"Only a medical ninja who masters the Ninja Art Creation Rebirth — Strength of a Hundred Technique is allowed to break all of the aforementioned rules!"

Tsunade spoke with a resolute and forceful tone.

"Hiss..."

Upon hearing these words, Nawaki audibly gasped. He never expected that the final point would allow the breaking of the previous three rules.

It was simply too cool!

A strong yearning instantly emerged within Nawaki's heart.

It was a fresh feeling, akin to discovering a new continent, something he had never thought about before. He had always been so close to the world of medical ninjas, but had never seriously contemplated the matters concerning them.

Now, through this brief encounter, he suddenly realized that there were many aspects of being a medical ninja that he had previously overlooked.

It sparked his desire for exploration.

"Sis, what technique are you talking about? Why haven't I heard of it?" Nawaki immediately asked.

"It's normal that you haven't heard of it. Even I haven't fully mastered it!" Tsunade shook her head and replied. As she spoke these words, Araki finally noticed that Tsunade's forehead was smooth without the diamond-shaped mark.

During the interview, Tsunade's forehead was covered by the forehead protector of Konoha village, so Nawaki didn't notice it.

Now it makes sense...

Tsunade should be in the stage of accumulating chakra!

That's right!

It must be like this!

The battle of the three legendary ninjas against Orochimaru's teammate, Jiraiya, happened not long ago.

Even if Tsunade had the Yin Seal back then, it was probably used up and she needed to accumulate it again.

"..."

Nawaki fell silent at that moment. It seemed that even his sister hadn't mastered the technique she mentioned. It was like painting a pie in the sky, a pie that couldn't be tasted.

"However..."

Tsunade suddenly changed her tone, with a slight smile on her lips and a meaningful expression on her face. She stared at Nawaki and said, "As long as you strictly train according to my requirements, you can master it. I firmly believe in that!"

"Uh... Okay..."

Nawaki's mouth twitched fiercely. He was willing to believe his sister's words. After all, she wouldn't deceive him. However, he still felt that this kind of thing was somewhat unreliable. But out of consideration for his sister's reputation, he kept these thoughts to himself.

In the next moment, a thought crossed Nawaki's mind.

He turned his head abruptly towards Araki, who was beside him.

"Araki, why don't you learn it too?" Nawaki enthusiastically invited. He was still a child, fond of being in groups and without much cunning. He wanted to share anything interesting or challenging with his friends.

At this moment, Araki had become a good friend to Nawaki.

Although they had known each other for a short time, Nawaki felt an incredible connection between them, a rare understanding.

Moreover, they shared a common secret.

Especially in the study of medical ninjutsu, besides Araki, there were hardly any others who could study together with Nawaki.

"I won't learn it!"

Araki shook his head almost without hesitation and immediately rejected Nawaki. He continued, "I think these three guidelines are pretty good."

"..."

Nawaki felt helpless at that moment. It was not the outcome he had expected, but he didn't dwell on it.

Ever since he revealed his dream of becoming Hokage...

He understood that he was different from others in many choices!

He acknowledged that Araki was his friend and respected his decision. He wouldn't force Araki to comply just for the sake of having a companion.

"Araki, are you really not going to learn?" Tsunade turned her head and asked in confusion. She had intended to cultivate Araki by saying those words in front of him.

But Araki's reaction surprised her as well.

Aren't all medical ninjas supposed to have a desire for close combat?

"My parents died on the battlefield. Honestly, even if you laugh at me, I'm afraid of going to the battlefield." Araki admitted his fear.

"I understand."

Tsunade nodded and carefully looked at Araki's resume after the interview. She learned some things about Araki.

It must be said...

Medical ninjas and Araki are quite compatible!

First, you don't have to go to the battlefield.

Second, you can make your own contribution.

Indeed, it's a good dream!

Tsunade contemplated silently in her mind. She suddenly realized that Araki had made a quite accurate decision regarding his future path and had a clear understanding of his own position.

...

The three of them chatted about other things for a while, and unintentionally, the sky darkened, and the night enveloped the sky over Konoha village.

Araki bid farewell to Tsunade and Nawaki, the sibling pair, and left Tsunade's place alone. Tsunade kept Nawaki behind, fearing that something might happen to him after foreseeing that kind of future.

"Phew..."

After leaving Tsunade's house, Araki couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. The gamble had come to an end at this moment, and he had won big time.

It's time for daily practice again!

Araki was a bit tired tonight. He didn't have enough rest during the day. In the morning, he was questioned by the Uchiha clan's security department, and in the afternoon, he went through the game with Tsunade and Nawaki. Now, he suddenly felt a strong sense of fatigue engulfing his body.

"How about skipping training today and getting a good night's sleep at home!"

Araki rubbed his slightly heavy forehead. Due to long nights of training, sleep had a minimal impact on him.

In simple terms, he had adapted to this rhythm.

In the ninja world, everyone has chakra in their bodies, which to some extent enhances their fatigue resistance.

It's not uncommon for many ninjas to go days without sleep while on missions.

Thinking of this, Araki headed towards his home.

However...

As he passed through the central area of Konoha village, in an open park, he faintly heard counting voices.

"Two thousand seven hundred and ninety-eight..."

"Two thousand seven hundred and ninety-nine..."

"Two thousand eight hundred..."

"Two thousand eight hundred and one..."

"..."

These voices were filled with determination and perseverance, exuding strong expectations and passion, evoking a sense of struggle that easily stirred up emotions in others, as if they would never tire.

"What is this..."

Araki widened his eyes, his pupils slightly contracted. He gathered his spirits, suppressing the drowsiness that had appeared on him, and took steps toward the direction of the park.

From a distance, he could vaguely see a figure shining with green, doing one-handed push-ups.

Getting closer...

Araki was astonished to find that it wasn't one-handed push-ups but rather the finger handstand, doing push-ups with just one finger.

"Might Guy!"

This name immediately appeared in Araki's mind. He never expected to encounter Might Guy, the legendary figure, at this particular time, and his heartbeat accelerated significantly.
