Chapter 39: Vitality, all things compete (seeking monthly ticket)
AI Model: gemini-2.0-flash
Xuan Yi, who was observing the cells, turned his head and smiled, "I do have that idea, but it depends on whether the matching can be successful."
Tsunade naturally understood, "Even with a blood relationship, it's very difficult to get a complete match, not to mention two people without a blood relationship; the possibility is minuscule."
Xuan Yi, of course, knew this and smiled, "What if it does match?"
"Anyway, it's just a waste of a little time."
Tsunade looked at Xuan Yi, puzzled, "Why are you in such a hurry?"
Xuan Yi paused, then smiled, "If a youth doesn't strive, he will be sad in old age!"
"If I don't strive now, should I wait until I'm twenty to strive?"
"Adolescence is the period of fastest learning efficiency and the right time to strive."
"If one doesn't achieve a certain level of accomplishment before twenty, then they will most likely live an ordinary life afterwards."
If one hasn't become a Jonin or possessed Jonin-level strength by the age of twenty, there won't be much progress later on.
Fame should be achieved early.
Learning and cultivation are the same.
Which of the famous Ninja in the Ninja World didn't achieve something at a young age?
And let alone the Ninja World.
In his previous life, most of the world-renowned scientists achieved their greatest successes when they were young.
Late bloomers exist, but they are a minority!
If you can't do it when you're young, can you do it when you're old?
If so, it means you didn't work hard enough when you were young.
Looking at Xuan Yi's vibrant, positive face, Tsunade couldn't help but be stunned.
This made her think of her younger brother, Nawaki, and her lover, Dan.
They used to be like this too!
But...
A look of pain flashed in Tsunade's eyes, and she said in a low voice, "Being ordinary is also good."
"Ninja is not a good profession."
Xuan Yi knew Tsunade's experiences, so he could understand the underlying meaning of her words, and he smiled, "But we are already Ninja, Lady Tsunade!"
"Since we have become a part of it, of course, we must do our best to be the best."
"This has nothing to do with whether or not one is a Ninja; even ordinary people always have to engage in some profession to survive."
"Just like a chef, isn't it natural to constantly improve his cooking skills?"
Tsunade's heart was shaken by his words.
If Jiraiya or Orochimaru had said these words, perhaps they wouldn't have been so moving.
But it was Xuan Yi.
A seven-year-old Genin kid.
A child from a commoner family.
That positive, optimistic, vibrant, and competitive spirit and realm, like a warm current, invaded her shattered heart.
Her hands trembled slightly, and her chest surged.
Images of her brother and lover dying flashed in Tsunade's mind: "You... aren't you afraid of death?"
Xuan Yi tilted his head slightly, a clean smile on his face, his black eyes clear to the bottom, reflecting Tsunade's face: "This question is a bit profound, but who doesn't die?"
"Even if you don't become a Ninja, you'll die sooner or later."
"Perhaps it's from illness, or drowning during a swim, or something else; in short, there are too many accidents in this world, aren't there?"
"We are alive now, why should we think about whether we will die?"
"Death is certainly terrifying, but its arrival never tells you in advance, so why fear it in advance?"
"Let's wait until the moment of death arrives to be afraid, to be reluctant to leave this world."
"And now, we should live diligently, live well, and do what we want to do."
"That way, when the moment of death comes, there won't be so many regrets and reluctance."
Tsunade turned and left, not letting Xuan Yi see her tears streaming down.
Dan had died right before her eyes.
She still clearly remembered how reluctant Dan was at that time.
He had too many things he hadn't had time to complete...
Seeing Tsunade suddenly turn and leave, Xuan Yi was stunned for a moment, then smiled and turned back to continue his work.
He was someone who had died once, so what he said just now wasn't just empty words, but what he truly believed.
Therefore, even with the Overdraft Panel in hand, he still had to work hard.
Otherwise, if he were to die one day, he would definitely regret not having worked harder back then.
Keep going, keep going!
Xuan Yi put Tsunade out of his mind and lowered his head to continue working.
At ten o'clock, Shizune also came to help.
Meanwhile, on the Hokage Rock, Tsunade stood, her golden hair dancing in the wind, her robes flapping loudly.
She gazed down at the entire Konoha, watching it gradually quiet down from its bustling state.
And in her mind, the faces and voices of Senju Hashirama, Senju Tobirama, her younger brother Nawaki, and her lover Dan constantly appeared.
Finally, everyone said the same thing.
It was what Xuan Yi had just said.
...
Inside the laboratory.
Xuan Yi sighed slightly, and Shizune, beside him, asked with concern, "It's not working?"
Xuan Yi nodded, "That's right."
Then he smiled, "But it's okay, it was a very small probability to begin with."
The matching failed, which means a bone marrow transplant cannot be performed.
Unless there is a special physique like Yakushi Kabuto.
Of course, he could try through Overdrafting the Future.
"Let's go, home!"
Xuan Yi packed his things.
Although the matching failed, today was not without any gains; at least his research experience improved a lot.
The next day.
After breakfast in the morning, Xuan Yi packed his things and went out to Kakashi's house.
His teacher, Sakumo Hatake, was not home, so Xuan Yi and Kakashi went out by themselves.
Upon reaching the location.
Xuan Yi said to Kakashi, "Kakashi, use Earth Release to build a high wall for me!"
Kakashi nodded, without asking what for, and immediately performed the hand seals: Earth Release: Earth-Style Wall!
He pressed his hands to the ground, the earth vibrated, and then a high wall quickly rose.
Standing on the high wall, Xuan Yi performed hand seals: Water Release: Waterfall Basin Technique.
Boom!
Water surged out from behind him, then cascaded down from the high wall, forming a waterfall.
Xuan Yi had specifically learned this technique from Sakumo Hatake during a previous mission.
With the waterfall formed, Xuan Yi leaped down and performed hand seals again in front of the waterfall.
First, he partially released the Yin Seal, then cast the Shadow Clone Technique, creating nine Shadow Clones.
The Shadow Clones lined up in front of the waterfall, palms pressed against the waterfall, and began to train in Wind Release nature transformation.
After resealing, Xuan Yi turned around: "Kakashi, we can begin."
Kakashi, however, asked, "You're using a waterfall to train Wind Release nature transformation?"
Xuan Yi nodded, "Yes, I can already cut leaves, but it's not enough, so I need to train further."
His Wind Release nature transformation was achieved during his second Overdraft of the Future.
But his progress during the third Overdraft of the Future wasn't too significant; it still wasn't enough to cut through a waterfall.
While Wind Release itself wasn't a primary training goal, his inherent talent not being great was also an important factor.
Now with the Yin Seal, he could open another Shadow Clone cheat.
