"Ka~"
Lin Ke returned to his home to find a letter and a scroll on the table. He glanced at them casually.
First, he cast a Clone Jutsu, ready to lose his head at any moment, then walked over, knocked on the window, and opened it.
Two Anbu, who had been openly following and protecting him from the opposite rooftop without intruding on his life, used Body Flicker Technique into the room.
Lin Ke retreated outside the room. After the Anbu inspected the desk, letter, and scroll, they turned and nodded to him, indicating that there were no problems.
Only then did he enter. The note didn't say who it was from or why, only a time and place to meet.
When he opened the scroll, his heart skipped a beat. It contained the Sealing Jutsu he had applied for last time but hadn't been approved—
And it was a powerful A-rank Sealing Jutsu: Five Elements Sealing.
As expected, I've become useful.
Lin Ke took a deep breath and calmed down. Regardless of whether the scroll came from Orochimaru or Danzo (he felt it was definitely one of the two), he couldn't just take it to study or try to play along with those two old schemers.
He couldn't outsmart them.
And what if the scroll was fake?
"Please give this to the Third Hokage." He restrained his inner desires and handed the note and scroll to the Anbu, saying calmly.
"Yes." The Anbu took the note and scroll and disappeared with their companion using Body Flicker Technique.
The curtains at the window were lifted by the wind of their passing, and Lin Ke was once again alone in the apartment.
"Ka~" He closed the window again, and the shadow that had been gathering under the table returned to his feet.
Earth Release ninjutsu is basically mastered. Next is medical ninjutsu and Summoning Jutsu: Rashomon...
Lin Ke stood by the window for a long time, calming his mind and refocusing on his training.
Among the ninjutsu the Third Hokage had approved for him, he hadn't started training in the Mystical Palm Technique because the name made him feel like it would be a healing ninjutsu even after mutation. The meaning of 'Mystical Palm' had a strong connotation in the medical field, referring to small illnesses. Extracting small illnesses didn't seem very useful, so he had first mastered all the Earth Release ninjutsu.
As for Summoning Jutsu: Rashomon, he had simply postponed training in it because he suspected it would be too powerful.
His Summoning Jutsu already connected to the Pure Land, so he could probably guess what another Summoning Jutsu: Rashomon would do.
In Japanese legends, Rashomon is a gate to life and death, an incredibly strong gate. Later, it became known as the gate between the human world and hell. The meaning of the ninjutsu's name was to borrow the idea of its incredible strength to express its defensive capabilities.
But for Lin Ke...
He strongly suspected that he could not only make a phone call to the Pure Land but also open a hole in it.
But the Sage of Six Paths still exists!
Lin Ke thought for a moment and took out the scroll of Mystical Palm Technique to review it again.
He couldn't avoid trying Rashomon; after all, it was a technique that seemed powerful just from the name. But he would put it last. If something went wrong, at least having more ninjutsu would give him more options for improvisation.
"I remember I let go of a few little rabbits after the last shadow experiment, and they're still in the Seventh Training Ground..."
He thought thoughtfully.
...
Three days later, Seventh Training Ground, morning.
"Squeak, squeak~"
Lin Ke put down the rabbit in his hand, which was struggling weakly because it had been cut and was becoming more and more powerless, with a somewhat puzzled expression.
The training was successful, and it had mutated, but what exactly was the effect? He felt a bit confused.
The original Mystical Palm Technique was used with the Chakra Scalpel to precisely extract toxins from the patient's body. It was a high-precision detoxification ninjutsu.
The prerequisite for completing the training was to sense the chaotic Chakra within the patient, so this ninjutsu not only required Chakra control but also a bit of sensory ability.
What was even more troublesome was that it needed to be used with the Chakra Scalpel, because only the Chakra Scalpel could directly cut cells and provide a channel for the toxins to be extracted.
So, despite its low learning difficulty, the actual prerequisites were very high. However, even if toxins weren't extracted, the first half of the training, using Chakra in the hands, could have the effect of training Chakra control. Moreover, it required studying a large number of medical books, which would be beneficial for subsequent training in the Chakra Scalpel. That's why he was approved for this ninjutsu.
It was essentially giving him a considerable amount of time to familiarize himself with medical ninjutsu and medical knowledge, not expecting him to learn it right away.
But in his hands...
"Where's my Chakra? What did I extract?"
Lin Ke blankly shook the rabbit that was gradually losing its breath. He had successfully released it, but he couldn't see any effect, let alone sense anything.
He increasingly felt that the mutation of his ninjutsu was a bit nonsensical. Other ninjutsu required hand seals, gathering Chakra, and other operations, but the Mystical Palm Technique simply releasing Chakra in the hand could be mutated.
Some ninjutsu were one-time releases of Chakra that ended when it was used up. He mutated it into a continuous release of Chakra. Now, the Mystical Palm Technique was clearly a continuous release of Chakra, but it had become a one-time disappearance of Chakra that ended.
It made him not know what the effect was. The wounds created were not repaired at all. Could it really only target viruses? But patients were easy to find, and sick rabbits were a bit difficult to find. Could he really use other people to experiment? "Boss," Xia and Yuan Wei, whose hand was still bandaged, walked over, "Good morning."
"Good morning." Lin Ke tied up the rabbit and threw it aside, saying, "How is your body recovering?"
"I'm completely fine!" Yuan Wei clenched his fist and shook it. His arm could be almost healed in two or three days.
Chakra, it's amazing, right?
Lin Ke nodded, not wasting any more words with the two of them, and sat cross-legged on the stone to think.
Yuan Wei and Xia didn't say anything either, and after stretching their bodies a bit, they began their daily training.
Anyway, after observing for two days and seeing no harm, let's release it on myself and see.
Lin Ke thought for a long time and decided to try it on himself. He gathered Chakra in his hands, carefully sensed it, and tried to release it—
Mystical Palm Technique.
He pressed his hands, which had no special effects but were imbued with the mutated ninjutsu, onto himself.
A very strange feeling appeared, as if something was being stripped away.
The soreness that had originally appeared due to refining Chakra and appropriately exercising his body was partially erased in a slight tingling sensation...
Lin Ke stood up abruptly, his expression very shocked. As someone who had studied a lot of medical knowledge in detail, he knew what that meant just now.
This Mystical Palm Technique, which he had no expectations for, actually repaired the cell damage that appeared after his body was exercised!
