I Just Wanted to Slack Off, But I Was Forced to Become Hokage

Chapter 82: Yang Release! Water Release! Sealing Jutsu!

Under Tsunade's guidance, the two arrived at the so-called "workplace."

Nara Keisuke scanned the place where he had lived for more than ten years, feeling completely speechless. This "workplace" couldn't be said to be unrelated to the "Nara Medical Research Institute"; it was simply one and the same. Even the person in charge of receiving Tsunade and him was the director of the institute.

"Lady Tsunade, for the time being, I'll be leaving the institute in your hands." Nara Shūsuke, wearing a white lab coat, was neither servile nor overbearing.

"Director Nara, you're too kind," Tsunade replied politely. "The Medical Department is only temporarily borrowing your Nara clan's research institute. The village will certainly provide adequate compensation."

"It's no problem. These are special times, after all." Nara Shūsuke nodded lightly, skipping past the polite nonsense. His gaze shifted to Keisuke beside Tsunade. "Little Kaku, you've grown taller."

Little Kaku?

Tsunade's ears suddenly perked up. She had just noticed that this handsome, middle-aged Nara clan uncle and Keisuke looked somewhat alike. Now it seemed...

"You look more like an adult," Shūsuke said, before Keisuke could reply. "So when are you coming back to inherit the family fortune? I think it's about time I retired..."

Nara Keisuke opened his mouth, then swallowed the words "thanks to Sister Nono'o's care" back down. "I think you can keep going for another few decades."

"What a pain." Nara Shūsuke rubbed his head, his expression troubled. "Isn't what's mine, yours? The sooner you take over the family business, the sooner I can retire."

"I don't want to... I'm not very interested in the current medical and pharmaceutical industry." Keisuke shook his head. He remembered the [Body Pathway Derangement] he had obtained yesterday and changed the subject. "But, can you give me a copy of your previous 'research data'?"

"Ha! That saves me some trouble!" A happy expression appeared on Shūsuke's face, and he took a key out of his pocket. "Go get it yourself later. It's in the cabinet in my office. Oh, right, Keiko and I will be moving to the village soon. We'll help you look after the house in our spare time."

Director Nara left cheerfully. Tsunade looked over. "Nara, that was?"

Keisuke sighed. "I believe I've mentioned that my old man is the director of the Nara Medical Research Institute."

"But your relationship?" Tsunade remembered Keisuke had mentioned his family situation before, but she hadn't expected it to be like this. "You're more like old friends than family..."

"This is my family environment," Keisuke said with a shrug. "Of course, it might also be because I matured too early... Anyway, since I was very young, my parents haven't treated me like a child."

Tsunade didn't know how to respond and finally just said, "Oh..."

The two went to a room in the institute. This was not Shūsuke's exclusive office, but an office that had been temporarily opened up after receiving the village's request.

Leaning against the desk, Tsunade took out a scroll from somewhere. "Nara, take a look at this."

"A taijutsu scroll?" Keisuke took it curiously and learned it with one click.

[D-rank Technique: Hemostasis Technique]

"It's not taijutsu, but the simplest, most basic medical ninjutsu: the Hemostasis Technique," Tsunade explained. "By using Yang-nature chakra, you can alter the clotting factors in blood plasma to accelerate blood coagulation."

Keisuke opened the scroll in his hand and scanned it briefly. "But Sister Tsunade, didn't you say you wanted me to learn taijutsu from you?"

"Learning medical ninjutsu can help increase the precision of your chakra control—well, if you have Yang-nature chakra," Tsunade reminded him. "Didn't I give you a ninjutsu scroll called [Super Beast Scroll] before? I found it by accident in the old man's office and felt it was somewhat similar to your Nara clan's shadow techniques, so I gave it to you. However, the [Super Beast Scroll] involves very profound use of Yang Release chakra. I was originally planning to guide you personally, but then the incident with Sunagakure happened... I imagine you probably haven't found a way to learn it yet, right? You can first try to see if you can learn the [Hemostasis Technique]. If you can, I'll take you to learn the [Super Beast Scroll] together."

Faced with Tsunade's frank generosity, Keisuke really didn't know what to say. Should he tell her that he had not only mastered the [Super Beast Scroll], but had also researched the [Shadow Beast Scroll], and even the [Shadow Transformation Technique]?

Tsunade didn't know Keisuke's inner thoughts. She continued, "If you can't learn the [Hemostasis Technique], it means you don't have an affinity for Yang Release, and you'll have to regretfully give up on learning the [Super Beast Scroll]. I will... in short, you try to learn it first. It's never a bad thing to learn more."

For the next two days, Keisuke spent his days at the research institute, learning medical ninjutsu and taijutsu techniques from Tsunade. At night, he returned to the Kikyo Orphanage, accompanying Yakushi Nono'o in studying herb-pounding techniques and sleeping postures.

After successfully learning the [Hemostasis Technique], Keisuke confirmed his chakra natures to be Yin, Yang, Water, Earth, Wind, and Fire. He was only one "Lightning" short of the legendary "all seven natures." Although it was a bit of a pity, possessing six natures at birth already surpassed the vast majority of ninja.

Taking the opportunity to learn medical ninjutsu from Tsunade, Keisuke also learned three more advanced medical ninjutsu from Nono'o and mastered them all through the panel's "one-click learning" function. These were the B-rank [Delicate Illness Extraction Technique], the A-rank [Mystical Palm Technique], and the A-rank [Chakra Scalpel]. Aside from his slightly insufficient chakra reserves, Keisuke could now be considered a decent medical ninja.

But only he himself knew this. In Nono'o's eyes, he was just learning medical ninjutsu from Tsunade; and in Tsunade's eyes, he was still constantly trying to learn the most basic [Hemostasis Technique].

This day.

Keisuke was just about to inform Tsunade that he had successfully learned the [Hemostasis Technique] when a message from the old clan head happened to arrive at the research institute. Leaving the institute, Keisuke quickly rushed to the clan head's house.

"Keisuke, these are the two types of ninjutsu you specifically requested," Nara Shikano said, pushing a small stack of scrolls in front of Keisuke. "Come and check them."

Keisuke glanced at the number of scrolls in front of him; there were at least five or six stacked together. "Clan Head, are these all Water Release and sealing jutsu scrolls?"

"Yes, all of them," the old clan head nodded. "The collection process was quite smooth. There are three each of Water Release and sealing jutsu."

Keisuke placed his palm on the many scrolls, and a stream of messages flowed across the panel.

[C-rank Sealing Technique Detected: [String Light Formation], learn?]

[C-rank Sealing Technique Detected: [Finger Engraving Seal], learn?]

[...B-rank Sealing Technique [Fire Sealing Method]...]

[...C-rank Water Release Technique [Water Prison Technique]...]

[...B-rank Water Release Technique [Water Dragon Bullet Technique]...]

[...B-rank Water Release Technique [Water Collision Waves]...]

Nara Shikano didn't know that Keisuke had already, through his special means, one-click learned the Water Release and sealing jutsu he had collected over the past few days. He was still explaining the origin of the six scrolls. "Sealing jutsu are relatively difficult to obtain. In these few days, the family has only collected two basic ones, and one special fire sealing jutsu. You can learn them as you see fit. As for Water Release, the Second Hokage-sama taught many ninja the water jutsu he had researched and improved himself. Among these three, besides the C-rank [Water Prison Technique], both the [Water Dragon Bullet Technique] and [Water Collision Waves] are techniques improved by the Second Hokage-sama. The number of hand signs is relatively much smaller."

Following the old clan head's instructions, Keisuke found the [Water Dragon Bullet Technique] scroll from the stack and opened it for a look.

Normal version of the Water Dragon Bullet: forty-four signs.

Senju Tobirama's Water Dragon Bullet: four signs.

That's what you call the Second Mizukage of Konoha Village~ (leans back smugly)

Keisuke closed the scroll and sincerely thanked him, "Thank you, Clan Head."

Konoha had an endless stream of geniuses, and a myriad of strange ninjutsu. But this did not mean that acquiring ninjutsu from outside was a simple matter. Even on the black market, B-rank ninjutsu could be considered high-end and rare. For Shikano to have collected so many C-rank and B-rank sealing and water jutsu in such a short time showed the effort and importance he had invested.

"What's there to be polite about." The old clan head waved his hand, then took out another stack of scrolls and handed them to Keisuke. "These were sent by Inojin. He originally intended to bring that Yamanaka Rin to apologize to you in person, but you weren't in the clan at the time, so he temporarily left these scrolls, planning to visit another day."

"What are these scrolls?" Keisuke took them and asked curiously. "Are they the Yamanaka clan's secret techniques?"

"Are you still interested in the Yamanaka clan's secret techniques, Keisuke?" the old clan head asked, stroking his beard. "If you really are, I can go directly to Inojin and make him bleed a little more. A Yamanaka attacking a Nara... I've lived for so many years, and this is the first time I've encountered such a thing!"

"No, no need." Keisuke waved his hands repeatedly. He had already obtained the Yamanaka clan's B-rank secret technique [Sensing] and had little interest in their other techniques. The vast majority of the Yamanaka's secret techniques, while their power could not be ignored, their clunkiness also could not be denied.

"According to Inojin..." Nara Shikano pointed to the stack of scrolls. "This is the research data on the brain's nervous system and chakra pathway system that the Yamanaka clan has accumulated over many years."
