Yoruha suddenly appeared beside Naruto, looking at him lying on the ground. Shizune eyed Yoruha cautiously, but since she knew he was a ninja from Konoha, she didn't take any action.
Ignoring Shizune, Yoruha walked over to Naruto. "He's pretty badly hurt, huh?" "Looks like Kabuto went for the kill."
Observing the scars still lingering on Naruto's body, his clothes stained red with blood, Yoruha noted that most of the wounds had already healed.
Thanks to the Nine-Tails' regenerative abilities and the Uzumaki clan's constitution, Naruto's wounds healed much faster than an ordinary person's. Yet, a lot of blood had indeed been lost.
Shizune approached Yoruha and said, "We administered some drugs to him and Lord Jiraiya earlier, which disrupted his chakra. Otherwise, with his strength, even if he wasn't a match for that ninja by Orochimaru's side, he wouldn't have been hurt this badly."
After speaking, Shizune looked at Yoruha. "Do you know Naruto?" Yoruha chuckled, "Of course, we're classmates, and we were even on the same team once."
Shizune suddenly understood. "I see, your team is really strong."
She had witnessed Yoruha's strength earlier and even thought that neither Jiraiya nor Tsunade could match him. But if Yoruha was Naruto's classmate, didn't that mean Yoruha was only 12 years old?
The thought left Shizune stunned. "Oh my god, what kind of monster are you!?" "And you even have the Three-Tails as your summoning beast. How did you manage to tame it?"
"Tail Beasts don't easily become a human's summoning beast." Yoruha crouched down, gathering chakra in his hands. Soon, a green medical chakra appeared in his palms.
"Palm Healing Jutsu!" Shizune covered her mouth, looking at Yoruha in disbelief as he used the Palm Healing Jutsu to treat Naruto. It's known that only a select few medical ninjas can master this technique.
Yoruha didn't look like a medical ninja at all, yet he could perform such an advanced medical ninjutsu. And he was only 12 years old.
Mastering medical ninjutsu requires extensive theoretical knowledge and a lot of time spent studying medical books, along with rigorous training to use it precisely.
But for someone as young as Yoruha to be so proficient in the Palm Healing Jutsu was simply astonishing. Yoruha paid no mind to Shizune's amazement.
In no time, Yoruha withdrew his chakra, having already healed Naruto. In less than a minute, he used the Palm Healing Jutsu to mend all of Naruto's injuries.
Not only was his technique exceptionally advanced, but his chakra was also brimming with vitality, making it far more effective than ordinary medical chakra.
After healing Naruto, Tsunade and Jiraiya arrived. Seeing Naruto with his eyes open, Tsunade was taken aback. "What's going on?"
Jiraiya approached Naruto, puzzled, and asked, "Shizune, your medical ninjutsu has improved a lot, huh?" Jiraiya assumed it was Shizune who had healed Naruto.
Shizune quickly waved her hands, "It wasn't me, it was him."
Tsunade looked at Yoruha. "You know medical ninjutsu?" Before Yoruha could respond,
Shizune interjected, "Not only does he know medical ninjutsu, but he also knows the Palm Healing Jutsu, and his technique is extremely refined."
Tsunade was utterly shocked.
It's understandable to be amazed by Yoruha's powerful ninjutsu, though not entirely beyond comprehension.
After all, while Tsunade had never encountered such a genius, she was well aware of how formidable her grandfather was.
Yoruha's talent was simply higher, though his strength hadn't reached her grandfather's level yet.
So, Tsunade was merely surprised, but the fact that Yoruha could also perform medical ninjutsu was truly hard to believe.
Medical ninjutsu isn't something you can just learn casually. It requires extensive training, studying numerous medical cases, and mastering a vast amount of medical knowledge.
How old was Yoruha anyway? How could he possibly have had the time to do all that? Tsunade didn't know that Yoruha had the ability to fully grasp something with just a glance.
So she was unaware that the medical knowledge that took many people years to master, he had learned in just a few days.
Moreover, his understanding was much deeper than the average person's. Even though he couldn't perform Tsunade's Creation Rebirth technique, his regeneration ability was comparable, if not more terrifying, because it consumed chakra instead of life force.
And it triggered automatically, without Yoruha needing to activate it. Seeing Tsunade's predatory gaze, Yoruha felt a chill down his spine. "Lady Tsunade, why are you looking at me like that?"
Tsunade examined Yoruha, her hands moving up and down his body. Yoruha was startled, "Lady Tsunade, although the Third Hokage assigned me as your bodyguard, he didn't say anything about providing other services."
Hearing Yoruha's words, Tsunade blushed and snapped, "What nonsense are you spouting? I'm just trying to see if you're even human. You're practically not human!"
"Lady Tsunade, can't you just speak normally? Why resort to insults?" Tsunade released Yoruha, her eyes fixed on him.
"You're really not human. How could a human possess such monstrous abilities?" Yoruha was speechless.
Shizune was momentarily stunned. She looked at Tsunade and asked, "Lady Tsunade, did you say he's your bodyguard?" Without looking at Shizune, Tsunade continued to scrutinize Yoruha and nodded, "That's right.
The Third has already promoted him to Jonin and appointed him as my bodyguard." Shizune sighed in relief, "That's good. Finally, some good news. With his strength, your safety won't be an issue."
After all, he could even defeat Orochimaru; there were probably few in the entire ninja world who could match him. Shizune had been worried about Tsunade's safety in the Leaf Village.
After all, Tsunade hadn't returned to the village in a long time, and her combat instincts weren't as sharp as they once were.
Kabuto had personally verified that. Tsunade didn't respond to Shizune. Her eyes were still locked on Yoruha. "How did you manage it?
I won't even mention those forbidden techniques you've mastered, as others have done that too, but being proficient in medical ninjutsu is just too unbelievable.
You must understand that mastering medical ninjutsu requires comprehending a vast amount of medical literature." Yoruha glanced at Naruto, who was recovering, and said, "I've read through all those medical books and spent a long time mastering them."
But as soon as Yoruha finished speaking, Tsunade knocked him on the head. "Nonsense, you're so young. How could you have mastered so much medical knowledge just by reading through it once?" Tsunade simply didn't believe him.
"What can I do if you don't believe me? And I did spend a long time, several years, in fact."
But Tsunade sneered, "As far as I know, many medical books require the Hokage's permission to access. You're saying you spent several years mastering them, meaning the Third Hokage valued you even back then?" Yoruha's mouth twitched.
He had forgotten about that. He could only brace himself and say, "I've been interested in medical ninjutsu since I was young, so I read many medical books in the public library."
"As for the more advanced medical texts, I only borrowed them recently, but because I had a good foundation, they weren't as difficult to understand."
Tsunade sneered again, "Really?" She might not know about other ninjutsu, but who in the entire ninja world could understand medical ninjutsu better than her? Yoruha was lying.
