Chapter – 377 Learn Iryo Ninjutsu?

"Yui… do you want to learn Iryo Ninjutsu?" – Kuroto asked after some deliberation.

"Iryo Ninjutsu?" – Yui was surprised at the sudden question, and said, "I am not sure… I have heard that Iryo Ninjutsu is very difficult to learn…"

Kuroto nodded and said, "You should be able to learn it if you try…"

Yui was thoughtful… she was considering if she should learn Iryo Ninjutsu.

Kuroto thought, 'One more push is needed…', with that, he grinned slightly, and said in a painful tone, "If you learn do Iryo Ninjutsu… and become a good Iryo-nin, then I wouldn't have to worry about my injuries… you can always treat me… besides, having you treat my injuries is better than having some random person treat them, don't you think?

Moreover, if you learn Iryo Ninjutsu your strength will also improve… after all, just treating wounds is not what a medical nin is only capable of… As an Iryo-nin… you will become much more strong than you are now… Tsunade-sama is a very good example…think about it."

Yui's eyes lit, especially on the part where she can heal Kuroto's injury, and she nodded, "Okay, I will apply at Konoha Hospital tomorrow. Hokage-sama has issued those orders anyway… so it should be fine."

Kuroto shook his head, and said, "Don't apply at Konoha Hospital, currently the village doesn't have a good enough Iryo-nin…. Those that are available here do not have the real skills."

Yui asked with a frown, "But if I don't apply to Konoha Hospital, how am I going to be able to learn Iryo Ninjutsu?"

Kuroto said with a smile, "I will find the best Sensei for you."

As Kuroto said this, he thought of a certain Blond Kunoichi, 'In the face of the threat represented by Akatsuki and Amatsukami, Sandaime has been left with no choice but to order for the return of Senju Tsunade. Under Sandaime-sama's order, and because of the danger Konoha is facing, Tsunade-sama will also have no choice but to return… after all, no matter what she may say, she still loves this village… therefore she will return.'

And Kuroto plans to have Yui learn Iryo-Ninjutsu from Tsunade as well as her other Jutsu.

'If Yui does manage to learn even sixty to seventy percent of Tsunade-sama's knowledge, then her strength will increase to the level of a Kage…'

Kuroto doesn't care about much, he just wants Yui to be safe. Being able to protect herself is what he asks her… so that he can be at ease. After all, if by some off chance his identity is revealed, then she will become the first target of all his enemies…

And in such a situation if Yui can't protect herself, then Kuroto will be in way too much trouble.

So improving her strength under Senju Tsunade's tutelage is the best option… Yui excels at Hyuga Taijutsu… then if she also masters many lethal Jutsu of the Iryo-Ninjutsu branch, she will be much, much, much stronger.

After all, Jutsu like 'Ranshinsho' (Body Pathway Derangement), 'In'yu Shometsu' (Yin Healing Wound Destruction), 'Chakra Enhanced Strength', 'Chakura no Mesu' (Chakra Scalpel), 'Sozo Saisei' (Creation Rebirth), 'Shosen Jutsu', (Mystic Palm Technique), 'Byakugo no In' (Strength of a Hundred Seal) and their derived Jutsu, can make up for almost all the weakness that a Taijutsu user may face. And once these Jutsu are combined with Hyuga Clan's Byakugan… then it is possible that Yui might even surpass Senju Tsunade.

Even if not as an Iryo-nin, but maybe as the greatest Kunoichi…

To be honest, Kuroto would much rather help her awaken the Tenseigan. After all, this is the shortest and the easiest way. As long as she survives the Genetic Recombination, and awakens the Tenseigan, her strength will eventually rise to the level of a Super Kage.

However, with the deepening of his knowledge of biotechnology, as well as exploration and development of his own Tenseigan, Kuroto has realized that surviving even a single Gene Combination is no joke, not to mention, to awaken the Tenseigan, many genes need to go through recombination.

It's a matter of luck, at the same time, it's not just luck.

Kuroto can't figure out accurately how, but he has come to understand that the reason he has survived the gene recombination and awakened the Tenseigan is not just a matter of luck… there is another reason behind it, but Kuroto has yet to figure out what exactly is that reason.

Because the percentage of surviving through the gene recombination is as low {(1/33!) x 100}, which is almost equal to zero, Kuroto can no longer believe that it was just his luck that he survived.

Therefore, he doesn't want to bet on such a small probability for Yui… after all, there is no guarantee that she will survive because he survived. And Kuroto doesn't want to risk it.

Humans are strange, they, themselves are willing to risk it all… but when it comes to making their cherished individuals take the same level of risk, they are unwilling to do so.

"Alright, then I will wait until you find someone good enough who will be willing to teach me Iryo Ninjutsu." – Yui nodded after a little bit of thought.

…

The same night, Kuroto's home.

After doubly making sure that Yui was asleep, Kuroto got up from the futon and went to his study.

When Kuroto walked into his study room, another figure came into sight, this was none other than Uchiha Shisui.

As soon as Shisui noticed Kuroto, he asked with a slightly worried tone, "Kuroto-san, is your body okay now?"

Kuroto nodded, and said, "It's alright now… I should be able to take missions after one more day of rest…"

Shisui heaved a sigh after learning that Kuroto's body was fine, then said with a sorrowful and doubtful tone, "Kuroto-san, this time… the losses were too much… so many people died, and we accomplished nothing… did we do correct or…?"

Kuroto waved his hand to interrupt Shisui from completing his sentence, "What happened, has happened, there is no need to dwell on it any longer, whether we were correct or whether we were wrong… I, myself am not so sure… so berating yourself over it is pointless… focus on what's to come ahead, be sure to learn from this experience, and to apply that in the future."

Shisui nodded with a sigh, then asked, "Still… what are we going to do from here on…?"

"First thing on our list is obviously increasing our strength… without that, we can not face Akatsuki… From this raid, I have come to understand that I am still far from being strong enough to be able to kill the leader of Akatsuki… The same goes for you…" – Kuroto said.

Kuroto is indeed strong enough to restrain Nagato, but killing him becomes a bit difficult, especially with Konan, Zetsu, and Obito around. This matter was clearly proven this time. And with the possibility of Nagato being several times stronger than he was this time, Kuroto obviously needs to step up his game, else he might die.

Shisui shook his head and said, "Even if you did not manage to kill the leader of Akatsuki, you were the only one who was able to restrain him… others are all helpless against him. He was even able to absorb the chakra of my Susanoo through one of his puppets… so all the Jutsu we used against him were useless. Therefore, you are the very reason many still survived."

Kuroto smiled bitterly.

He may have had the advantage this time, but Kuroto is not sure for the next time… Kuroto has a feeling that it would be soon… very soon. And Kuroto is not sure if we will be able to restrain Nagato at that time.

With a sigh, he said, "Anyway… all that aside, what is the state of your visual prowess… In the last fight, you were a bit reckless and used too much Ocular Power. I had reminded you several times that Mangekyou Sharingan goes blind per each use… even then…"

Shisui covered his eyes, and whispered slightly, "My visual prowess has decreased too much… I am having trouble even seeing regular things."

Kuroto muttered, "Is it already so bad…?"

Shisui nodded silently.

Kuroto immediately said, "Don't use your Mangekyou Sharingan anymore, for now at least… else you will become total blind."

Shisui sighed, "How can I do so, given the current situation…?"

With how much danger Konoha will be facing, Shisui doesn't feel that he can restrain himself… because he does restrain himself, and if people die, the same people he could have saved if he used his strength… then Shisui will feel sorrowful… with powers comes responsibility… and this a responsibility that he can never back away from.

Kuroto noted Shisui's complicated mood, then said, "Don't worry… It will only be for the time being…"
