Chapter 13 - Learning the Palm Cultivation Technique

Early in the morning, Hatake Kaede arranged for his shadow clones to go to school, while his main body packed a lunchbox and went to Konoha Hospital.

Hatake Kaede went directly to Tsunade's office to wait.

A short while later, Tsunade walked in, yawning and rubbing her messy hair.

"Hey kid, why aren't you at school?Why are you here so early in the morning?"

"Lady Tsunade, I've already sent my shadow clone to school!"

"Oh!You use shadow clones to skip class too!"

"Hmm~ also?"

"Hahahaha." Tsunade laughed awkwardly a few times, and then stopped asking questions.

"Alright!Since you've already arranged for your shadow clones to go to school, you can come and help me during the day!"

"Keep reading the book I gave you yesterday.If there's anything you don't understand, feel free to ask me anytime.By the way, what level of chakra control have you reached now?"

"Third level!"

"Oh, that's pretty good!"

Upon hearing this, Tsunade smiled and raised her hand, pointing to the wardrobe next to her.

"Kid, there are some new coats in there.Find one that fits you and change into it.We'll be busy soon."

Hatake Kaede obediently chose a white lab coat from the wardrobe, put it on, and began his grueling internship under Tsunade.

As a newcomer, Hatake Kaede is prepared to start learning from the basics.

Although it was an internship with Tsunade, essentially assisting her, I still learned a lot.I also gained a direct understanding of the concepts from yesterday's textbook.

That day, Hatake Kaede spent most of his time learning how to properly bandage wounds.

Medical ninjas have limited chakra and stamina, so they can't use medical ninjutsu to treat every patient they encounter.

Suturing and bandaging, and identifying medications are also important skills that medical ninjas need to learn.

The hospital and medical department have many medical ninjas.Their skill level is nowhere near Tsunade's.However, they are capable of handling most common injuries.

Through observation, Hatake Kaede discovered that many medical ninjas did not possess the Palm Healing Technique.

At noon, Tsunade handed the treated patients over to the nurses and wiped the sweat from her brow.

The two arrived at the lounge, and Hatake Kaede opened the bento box he had brought.

The next moment, the fragrance began to fill the air.

At that moment, Hatake Kaede noticed that Tsunade was staring intently at the bento box in his hand.

"How about we grab something to eat together?"

"Ha, that's great.Thank you so much!" Tsunade snatched the bento box from Hatake Kaede's hand without any ceremony and began to eat heartily in front of him, showing no intention of sharing.

Hatake Kaede looked annoyed.He had only been being polite, but he hadn't expected to encounter such an impolite female bandit.

After quickly finishing her bento, Tsunade patted her stomach contentedly and said happily, "That was great, burp~"

After wiping her mouth, Tsunade stuffed the empty bento box back into Hatake Kaede's hand.

"I'm going to take a nap first.We can talk about it when I wake up." After saying that, Tsunade lay down on the bed in the rest room and fell asleep without any regard for appearances.

Hatake Kaede's face darkened; he really wanted to go up and beat her up to vent his anger.But when he thought of Tsunade's current violence, Hatake Kaede calmed his anger down.

When Tsunade woke up and heard Hatake Kaede's question, she took the initiative to explain: "Healing Palm Technique is an A-rank medical ninjutsu.There are very few people in the entire hospital and even the entire medical department who have mastered it!This ninjutsu not only requires precise chakra control, but also a certain amount of chakra as support."

"By the way, if you want to learn, you can look through my cabinet.There are relevant scrolls and books inside.Just put them back after you're done reading them."

"However…" Tsunade slyly tucked Hatake Kaede under her arm.

Upon hearing that he could freely browse through Tsunade's collection of books and scrolls, Hatake Kaede was about to nod in agreement.Suddenly, his entire head was enveloped in a soft embrace.

Hatake Kaede struggled and managed to break free from Tsunade's clutches.

Is this the legendary "facial cleanser"?I almost suffocated.

Hatake Kaede, his face flushed, stammered to Tsunade, "Lady Tsunade, if you have something to say, just say it.Why are you getting physical?"

"Oh dear, oh dear, the little pervert is shy." Tsunade teased Hatake Kaede with a playful expression.

"Wh.what.what little pervert?Lady Tsunade, don't talk nonsense!" Hatake Kaede waved his hands and looked embarrassed.

"Alright, alright, I won't tease you anymore.You can browse through the books and scrolls in my bookcase anytime, but."

"But what?"

"But next time you pack a bento, pack one for me too!The chicken in today's bento was pretty good, and so were the meatballs.Remember, pack me an extra one tomorrow."

Hatake Kaede's eye twitched.He really wanted to give this female bandit a piece of his mind.She stole my lunchbox and now she wants me to bring her one?Making demands?Does she think this is ordering food at a restaurant?

Taking a deep breath, Hatake Kaede suppressed his impulse.With Tsunade's permission, Hatake Kaede decisively selected the scroll related to "Healing Palm Technique".

Tsunade watched quietly from the side, completely unconcerned that Hatake Kaede had secretly learned some of the ninjutsu.

Putting aside the fact that the ninjutsu recorded by Tsunade are all difficult to learn, if Hatake Kaede could learn them all, Tsunade would definitely jump for joy.

Since Hatake Kaede had mastered all these medical ninjutsu, she felt perfectly justified in handing the reins over to him, allowing her to go and dominate the casino.

In the time that followed, Hatake Kaede began a new, repetitive life.

His main body studied medical ninjutsu under Tsunade, while his shadow clones went to school.After that, he continued to develop his Rumble-Rumble Fruit and created his own hand seal-less ninjutsu.

Three days later, Hatake Kaede calmly looked at the vibrant green light emanating from his palm:Is this really an A-rank ninjutsu?

Although it took three days for Hatake Kaede to bring the scroll back, he actually didn't have much time to practice the Palm Healing Technique.

During the day, he had to learn from Tsunade at the hospital, and after get off work, he had to study various books he had read before.Becoming a medical ninja requires a very broad range of knowledge.

He also needed to find time to develop his Rumble-Rumble Fruit, so there wasn't much time left for Hatake Kaede to learn Healing Palm Technique.

The next day, Tsunade stared blankly at Hatake Kaede's hands, her mouth slightly agape, her face filled with disbelief.

Tsunade suddenly remembered her own learning process and asked impatiently, "Boy, tell me about your learning process of the Palm Healing Technique, don't leave anything out."

When Tsunade asked him a question, Hatake Kaede shrugged and replied in a very pretentious manner, "It's just like that!I work at Konoha Hospital during the day, and when I get home at night I read books and scrolls.That's how I learned."

Seeing the smug look on Hatake Kaede's face, Tsunade cursed, "Fuck you!"

Tsunade was fully aware of Hatake Kaede's activities these past few days.During the day, this kid had to accompany her on his internship at the hospital, and after get off work, he would train before going home.Once home, he would read books and scrolls.And then, just like that, he naturally learned it?It doesn't make sense!

Looking at Hatake Kaede in front of her, and then thinking about the medical ninjas in the medical department who were complaining endlessly, Tsunade's mentality completely crumbled.

[Damn, is this what a genius is?At first, I just thought this kid had some talent.I never expected him to be this good.]

[Hey~ no, no, this kid is someone I taught, he's my student.Hahaha, only a great -sensei can produce a great student.I'm so awesome!(Hands on hips)]

"Very good, very good.As expected of a student taught by me, Tsunade." Tsunade looked pleased, then raised her hand and patted Hatake Kaede on the shoulder, solemnly instructing him, "However, don't be arrogant or complacent.There are still several medical ninjutsu waiting for you to learn.Once you have learned them and can use them freely, I can arrange an exam for you."

Hatake Kaede quickly assured her, "Yes, Lady Tsunade, I will study diligently and will not let you down."

"Go and study first.From today onwards, you don't need to assist me anymore." After careful consideration, Tsunade kept Hatake Kaede behind, allowing him to study quietly in the rest room.

After several days of training, Tsunade realized that Hatake Kaede had mastered all the basic medical knowledge.Rather than having him work as an assistant to Tsunade, it was better to let him study quickly and become a formal medical ninja as soon as possible.

Tsunade also wanted to know whether Hatake Kaede was talented or just lucky.
