Naruto: My setting is above yours

Chapter 7 Yang Escape

"This technique has four hand seals in total."

Yu Fenglan also taught diligently: "Son, guide your chakra according to the hand seals, imagine yourself as a tree, and then use the chakra as branches to grow outwards and continue to extend."

"Remember, chakra must be condensed, and the branches of that condensation must be strong; otherwise, it cannot extend far enough, which will make your perception range very short."

"The length of the branches determines your perception distance, and the number of branches determines your perception range and accuracy."

"However, since you're just starting out, first condense a single tree branch of your senses, one meter long. Once you're more proficient, you can increase the length and number of branches."

Xuanma nodded.

Just then, Ritsuka appeared at the door: "Genma, honey, breakfast is ready. We'll continue later!"

Yu Fenglan immediately patted Xuanma: "Let's go, you need to eat well to have the energy to cultivate."

Xuanma nodded and stood up.

Breakfast was plentiful, and while eating, Genma was thinking about the Sensation Ninjutsu, Thousand Branches Spirit Touch.

Yu Fenglan and Lixiang saw this and felt both gratified and heartbroken, so they both put delicious food on their son's plate.

After eating and drinking his fill and saying goodbye, Genma got up and returned to his study to continue studying ninjutsu.

Before they knew it, it was 10 a.m., and the sound of silence outside startled Xuanma awake.

I got up and went to the living room window to look out, and I saw Jingyin standing downstairs.

"Wait a mininute!"

After being called out, Xuanma immediately changed into a blue and white hooded trench coat and went downstairs.

"Xuanma, why didn't you go to the hospital today?"

"Silently asked."

Genma quickly apologized, "I'm sorry, I was studying at home today, so I didn't go."

Shizune immediately waved her hand to indicate that she didn't mind, then smiled and said, "Genma, Lady Tsunade is still waiting for us, let's go together!"

Genma was startled: "Lady Tsunade intends to teach me medical ninjutsu?"

Shizune nodded, then spoke up for Tsunade: "Lady Tsunade may look a bit fierce, but she's actually a very nice person. Um... please don't mind her."

Genma chuckled upon hearing this: "I don't think Lady Tsunade is that fierce."

Yeah, actually, she's quite fierce.

You can't even see their faces.

Banishing the negative thoughts in his mind, Genma said to Shizune, "Let's go!"

Shizune nodded, and then, with Genma in tow, the two of them walked through the snow to Tsunade's house.

Genma was struck by the grandeur of Tsunade's residence; it wasn't a typical multi-story house, but rather a massive courtyard.

But the courtyard also had a sense of decay and lacked human presence.

When Genma met Tsunade, she was sitting at a table on a carpet, with writing brushes, ink, and scrolls on it, and a fireplace next to her to keep out the chill.

Upon seeing the two brats enter, Tsunade said, "Kids, I heard you're practicing medical ninjutsu to train your chakra control?"

Genma paused for a moment, then immediately realized that he knew this from Shizune, and nodded, saying, "That's right."

"Because I have no other means to further train my chakra control."

"In my opinion, chakra control is the most basic ability for a ninja, second only to chakra refinement."

"My strong control over chakra will make learning other ninjutsu much easier in the future."

Tsunade raised an eyebrow slightly upon hearing this: "Did your parents teach you this?"

The ninja academy definitely doesn't teach this.

Genma shook his head: "Not entirely."

"Chakra is the foundation of a ninja. Ninjutsu, genjutsu, and taijutsu are all, in the end, the application of chakra by a ninja."

"Application equals control."

"Just like when we eat with chopsticks, we can eat smoothly only if we can control the chopsticks skillfully."

Upon hearing this, Tsunade immediately became less nonchalant.

It's truly remarkable to have such insight at this age.

Even in the ninja world, many Chunin are unaware of these things.

He's definitely a very clever kid.

After thinking for a moment, Tsunade asked, "What kind of technique do you want to learn from me?"

Can I choose any option?

Genma was a little surprised, but he also understood Tsunade's underlying meaning.

She doesn't take on apprentices.

Genma thought for a moment, then instead of answering immediately, he sat down opposite Tsunade and asked, "Lady Tsunade, where do you see the difference between my current medical ninjutsu and yours?"

Tsunade frowned: "What do you mean?"

Genma pondered for a moment, then changed his approach and asked, "For example, with healing techniques, if we use the same amount of chakra to treat wounds of the same size and depth, will the results be different?"

Strange idea.

Is such a comparison meaningful?

This was Tsunade's subconscious thought.

However, since she was going to teach something, she thought about the problem and said, "Although you have set conditions, it is not enough."

"Although I haven't witnessed your medical skills yet, you probably can't reach my level in terms of chakra control."

"You should know very well that the precision of chakra control has a great impact on the treatment outcome."

Genma nodded, then asked, "What about under the same level of chakra control precision?"

Tsunade seemed to be thinking for a moment, then said, "If it's a limited ninjutsu, there's no difference."

Shizune sat down next to Genma and asked curiously, "Why make this comparison?"

Genma didn't answer Shizune, but looked at Tsunade and said, "So it's the technique itself that limits Lady Tsunade's performance."

Tsunade nodded: "You could say that, so I no longer use healing techniques, but rather the more powerful Palm Healing Technique."

"You're asking these questions because you want to know the level of Yang Release nature transformation between us, right?"

Xuanma nodded.

Putting aside other factors, the Wind Release nature transformations he is familiar with have very clear strengths and weaknesses.

Cutting leaves and cutting waterfalls involves more than just the difference in the amount of chakra.

Moreover, the difficulty of ninjutsu is generally judged in two dimensions.

One is a change in form, and the other is a change in property.

For example, the Rasengan doesn't change its properties; it's purely a change in form, or perhaps it has reached an extremely profound level in this aspect.

The Wind Release: Rasengan is an extension of powerful form transformations, incorporating the ultimate Wind Release nature transformation.

Therefore, even a half-finished product is of S-level difficulty.

Since Wind Release has such differences in its nature, then Yang Release must also have them.

However, none of the three medical ninjutsu that Genma currently possesses involve gradient changes in nature transformation.

In other words, the requirements for nature transformation are the same for hemostasis techniques, healing techniques, and the technique of extracting ailments; the only differences are the chakra output, the precision of control, and the form transformation.

Genma also possesses some information regarding the relative strengths and weaknesses of the Yang Release nature transformations.

Hashirama Senju, Karin, her mother, and the Sage of Six Paths.

Let's not even talk about the Six Paths Immortal.

Hashirama Senju's ability to heal without hand seals allows Karin to be quickly healed from a bite and have her chakra restored.

Having mastered the Yin Seal and combined it with the Hundred Healings Technique, Tsunade, who can perform Creation Rebirth, also possesses the ability to heal herself without seals.

However, Madara's assessment was that Tsunade in this state was still inferior to Hashirama Senju.

Is it because my chakra is inferior?

If that's the case, Madara Uchiha definitely wouldn't have made that assessment.

While the amount of chakra certainly affects the effectiveness of a technique, Genma keenly observed the contrast in the strength of their Yang Release nature transformations by comparing these individuals.

So this is what Genma wanted to learn from Tsunade.

Tsunade realized his purpose and said, "If you want to deepen your training in nature transformation, you can learn the Palm Healing Technique."

"Mastering this technique will allow you to further advance your Yang Release nature transformation."

Genma immediately asked, "Lady Tsunade, is there no other way to directly cultivate nature transformation?"

Tsunade scoffed, "Do you have a more direct way to train your chakra control?"

Okay, that makes sense.

Genma nodded, then asked, "Then, Lady Tsunade, can't you use a Yang Release nature transformation of the same level as Healing Palm Technique to cast a healing jutsu?"

Silent was completely bewildered.
