Naruto: The Strongest Medical Ninja in the Shinobi World

Chapter 184 Sparring and Playing

Chapter 175 Sparring and Playing

Xingyuan Qianshuo did not rush to collect the reward, but sat down again.

"Qian Shuo-kun is truly a medical master. His refined Yang Release power is truly breathtaking."

Abbot Kongwen sincerely praised him, picked up the teapot again, and personally poured tea for him and Tsunade.

"Konoha and the Fire Temple have always been on good terms. If your temple ever encounters any intractable illnesses in the future, you are welcome to come to Konoha to find me and Tsunade at any time." Hoshigen Chisaku took a sip of tea, his tone gentle yet resolute.

"Thank you again, Tsunade-hime and Sensaku-kun." Abbot Somon clasped his hands together, his expression sincere.

He then took the initiative to talk about his past experiences in Konoha and inquired about the village's current situation.

After chatting for a while, Xingyuan Qianshuo took the opportunity to speak, "Abbot Kongwen, I've heard that the Fire Temple has a secret technique called 'Talent of the Immortal Clan.' I wonder if we'll have the honor of witnessing it today?"

"Of course," Abbot Kongwen readily agreed.

"Talent of the Immortal Clan" is the core inheritance of the Fire Temple, and its cultivation is quite difficult. It is fine to just observe it.

So, Kong Wen got up and led the group out of the reception room and into the training ground inside the temple.

"Abbot." Tianyan, who was instructing the young monks, greeted them respectfully with a single hand gesture upon their arrival.

"Tianyan, let's pause the training for now," Kong Wen said gently. He then introduced the Konoha group to him and explained their purpose. "Why don't you demonstrate?"

""

"Yes, Abbot," Tianyan replied.

Xingyuan Qianshuo suddenly spoke up: "Abbot Kongwen, how about I have a spar with Master Tianyan?"

"This—" Kong Wen hesitated. He was unsure of the young doctor's abilities and worried that he might accidentally injure him.

Seeing this, Xingyuan Qianshuo smiled and explained, "I'm just itching to show my skills. I'm quite confident in my abilities."

Firstly, his strength has improved significantly recently, and he really wants to test his skills; secondly, the previous treatment was a "favor," and this sparring session is a small test of his abilities, which can be regarded as a "show of power."

Abbot Kongwen turned to look at Tsunade, who nodded slightly, and said, "Alright then. Tianyan, you and Qian Shuo spar a bit, but stop when you've made your point."

"Yes, Abbot." Tianyan replied calmly and walked into the arena.

The two arrived at the center of the training field and stood about ten meters apart.

The four girls watched their teacher's figure with expectant eyes, but also with a hint of worry in their hearts.

The young monks from the Fire Temple also gathered around, their eyes filled with excitement—Tianyan rarely fought with anyone, so it was a rare opportunity for him to spar with a Konoha ninja.

Following ninja combat etiquette, Xingyuan Qianshuo formed a contrasting hand seal. Tianyan, on the other hand, offered a respectful salute with one hand, his expression solemn.

Immediately, Tianyan closed his eyes, his face devout and solemn. He raised a single finger of his left hand and pressed his right hand, palm down, gently in front of his abdomen.

In an instant, Xingyuan Qianshuo seemed to hear faint Buddhist chants, and a golden, majestic image of Guanyin with a thousand hands suddenly appeared behind Tianyan.

"Is it less than ten meters?" Hoshino Senju thought to himself.

"Talent of the Immortal Clan" can be learned by many ninja monks in the Fire Temple, but due to differences in talent, the size and power of the Thousand-Armed Guanyin formed by them also vary.

He remembered that in the original story, the Guanyin of the Earthly Realm was about twenty meters tall, while the one of Asma was only three or four meters tall.

He was not careless. With a slight thought, he activated the Yang Release Chakra Mode and charged forward.

At that moment, the Guanyin statue behind Tianyan suddenly changed color, its golden light turning crimson, transforming into an angry Vajra. A crimson chakra fist slammed fiercely towards Xingyuan Qianshuo!

Xingyuan Qianshuo neither dodged nor evaded, but raised his hand and threw a punch to meet the attack. The chakra gathered on his fist exploded instantly, shattering the materialized chakra with a single punch.

However, this is just the beginning.

More red fists came from all directions—front, back, above, and below—unpredictable and incredibly fast, each strike enough to severely injure a Chunin.

But Xingyuan Qianshuo remained calm, his fists and feet flying, shattering each of those attacks.

Tianyan frowned, then his mind stirred again, and the red, angry-eyed Vajra suddenly turned golden, transforming into the Thousand-Armed Guanyin, and roared, "Welcome! Thousand-Armed Kill!"

Countless golden fists came crashing down from the front, three or four times faster than before!

"Is this an abandonment of unpredictable attack direction in exchange for speed?" Xingyuan Qianshuo's thoughts raced, and he instantly unleashed the Wind Release: Body Flicker Technique, using his superhuman reflexes and perception to dodge the dense barrage of punches at the last second.

His steps did not stop; he moved slowly forward while dodging, getting closer and closer to Tianyan.

The closer they are, the more punches they receive, and the faster they come.

When he reached within three meters, he finally dodged backward and withdrew from the attack range.

He has too many ways to defeat Tianyan, but there's no need.

Even in a purely defensive posture, his composure and ease were enough to shock the monks of the Fire Temple present. They had never imagined that someone could approach the "Talent of the Celestial Race" head-on, and with such grace.

"The talent of the Immortal Clan is indeed extraordinary." Xingyuan Qianshuo, who had retreated, sincerely praised.

"I never expected Qian Shuo-jun to be so powerful," Abbot Kong Wen exclaimed in admiration.

Tsunade, however, knew perfectly well—Chisaku possessed far more powerful ninjutsu than these. Wind Release: Rasengan, Flying Thunder God Technique,

Wood Release, Five Elements Ninjutsu — but she rarely saw him use such a swift Body Flicker Technique and reaction speed.

At this moment, Tianyan walked over with a heavy expression.

He was one of the most outstanding "Celestial Talents" among the young and middle-aged generation of the Fire Temple, yet at this moment he felt a deep sense of frustration.

He had considered that the other party would use ninja tools and ninjutsu to defend or counterattack, but he never expected that the other party would make him feel helpless with just taijutsu and body sleight of hand.

"Thank you for the demonstration, Master Tianyan." Xingyuan Qianshuo nodded slightly, his tone sincere.

"We should thank Lord Qian Shuo for showing mercy." Tian Yan took a deep breath, suppressed the turmoil in his heart, and regained his composure. "It is truly a blessing for the Land of Fire that Konoha has such a talented successor as Lord Qian Shuo."

After some pleasantries, Xingyuan Qianshuo continued, "Abbot Kongwen, Master Tianyan, my four students are accompanying me on this training trip. I wonder if it would be possible for them to exchange skills and techniques with the monks of the same age in the temple?"

Tianyan's gaze swept over the four eight- or nine-year-old children—two boys and two girls. The most eye-catching one was the boy with the white eyes, who should be a descendant of the Hyuga clan of Konoha.

He also had the idea of ​​getting back at them, and turned to look at Abbot Kongwen. Seeing the abbot nod slightly, he picked out four young monks from the side.

Among them are land and earth.

Xingyuan Qianshuo's lips curled up slightly. Dilu and the other three were of similar age, and with his talent, he was bound to be one of the best among his peers at the Fire Temple, so his selection was expected.

The younger generation's sparring went relatively smoothly.

The four members of Shizune have only learned some basic C-rank ninjutsu, while the young monks of the Fire Temple mainly focus on taijutsu, staff techniques, and mental training.

Han Fang and Lin gained the upper hand with their ninjutsu; Jing Yin, on the other hand, faced a tall monk who was about eleven or twelve years old. After a fierce battle, they were locked in a stalemate, which was stopped in time by Xing Yuan Qian Shuo.

Through his deliberate arrangement, Hyuga Tetsuya faced off against Jiraiya.

After several exchanges of blows, Hyuga Tetsuya activated his Byakugan and unleashed Gentle Fist: Eight Trigrams Thirty-Two Palms, injuring Jiraiya.

Xingyuan Qianshuo immediately stepped forward to treat Dilu. Afterwards, the system notification sounded as he had hoped—he had obtained "Talent of the Immortal Race (Proficient)".

Whether it was his sparring match or the four of them, it always carried a hint of "challenging the opponent's dominance".

So, he used the system to detect the hidden injuries on three monks in their thirties and forties, and treated them one by one to ease the atmosphere.

Around 3 PM, the Konoha group took their leave.

Abbot Kongwen offered them a place to stay at the temple for the night and have a vegetarian meal, but they politely declined.

Sixty kilometers north of the Temple of Fire lies the City of Fire; fifty kilometers southwest lies Tanzaku Castle.

After discussing a few words with Tsunade, Xingyuan Qianshuo decided to change course and head to Tanzaku Castle.

The group was not in a hurry and planned to arrive by evening.

On the way, Xingyuan Qianshuo retrieved the two rewards he obtained at the Fire Temple: Unsealing Technique (Mastery) and Immortal Talent (Mastery).

The Unsealing Technique is a secret art that uses prayer beads as a medium to convey spiritual intention and cast spells to break through the sealing runes.

In the Naruto world, monks and priestesses all possess unique sealing powers. For example, Bunpuku, the Jinchuriki of the One-Tailed Beast from the Land of Wind, and his disciple Hoichi are both skilled in sealing barrier techniques; the same is true for Miroku and Shion, the priestesses of the Land of Demons.

The traditions of monks and priestesses are ancient, even predating those of ninjas. This further convinced Hoshigen Chisaku that sealing techniques were an inherent power of the ninja world, unrelated to the Otsutsuki clan.

However, after merging the experience and memories of the "Talent of the Immortal Clan", he felt a little regretful.

Although this secret technique contains the word "immortal," it has nothing to do with immortal arts or immortal modes, and it does not involve natural energy.

It is a special ability formed by refining spiritual energy through extreme spiritual practice, with Yin Release chakra as the primary source and Yang Release chakra as the secondary source.

For Xingyuan Qianshuo, once he mastered this technique, he wouldn't even need to have a devout faith in Buddha, Guanyin, or Vajra.

With his profound Yin and Yang escape abilities, he can completely use himself as a form to create a phantom, turn the phantom into reality, and launch an attack.

Tanzaku is a historic and cultural city, and Tanzaku Street is the most bustling street in the city, lined with casinos, taverns, and arcades, where people revel day and night.

This is the place where the three legendary Sannin reunited after the Konoha Crush plan in the original story.

Upon entering this place, Tsunade became energetic, her eyes shining, and she exuded a spirited aura ready to unleash her full potential.

The group first found a hotel to stay in and booked three double rooms.

Afterwards, we found a local sukiyaki restaurant and had a lively dinner.

After the meal, Xingyuan Qianshuo created a shadow clone to escort Jingyin and the other three back to the inn.

Meanwhile, the main body accompanied the impatient Tsunade as they plunged headlong into the casino in Tanabata.

For five consecutive days, everyone stayed here.

Xingyuan Qianshuo's shadow clones accompanied Shizune outside the city to cultivate during the day, while his main body accompanied Tsunade to gamble and sleep every night.

In order to enjoy the thrill of gambling more, they didn't bet large on each bet, and each night they only won about five million taels.

For five consecutive nights, they visited five different casinos, and the legend of the "Miyo Duo" spread throughout Tanabata.

With Tsunade's iron fist as a deterrent, the casino dared not turn them away.

In the end, the bigwigs behind the casino couldn't sit still any longer. They personally hosted a banquet for the two men, offered them 20 million taels of silver as "travel expenses," and said all sorts of nice things before reaching a "canceling the gambling" agreement.

After leaving Tanabata Castle, the group headed to the City of Fire.

The City of Fire is too close to Tanabata City; their "legends" had already spread here beforehand.

Some casinos, defying the odds, deployed sensory ninjas to monitor the entire operation, but they were still unable to detect any cheating methods employed by the two.

Unfortunately, just two days later, before they could continue winning money, the Daming Prefecture sent people to warmly invite them to visit their residence.

Xingyuan Qianshuo had already sensed the Fire City using Kagura's Mind's Eye.

There are more than twenty people here who have reached the Jonin level, including four elite Jonin.

The most concentrated area of ​​Jonin is the Daimyo's residence—two elite Jonin and six ordinary Jonin.

However, there is likely a barrier that blocks perception, and what we can detect now is only the visible guard force.

The remaining Jonin, Chunin, Genin, or samurai were likely subordinates privately kept by nobles, or possibly guards or ninjas dispatched by Konoha to carry out missions.

The Daimyo's Mansion in the Land of Fire was the most magnificent and splendid mansion that Hoshigen Chisaku had ever seen in the ninja world.

The daimyo of the Land of Fire, Enichi Tetsuya, was also the most pretentious nobleman he had ever seen.

Fortunately, the daimyo and his wife, Shijimi, were relatively polite to him and Tsunade, and did not outwardly display any superior attitude.

Perhaps it's more because of their status as top-tier medical ninjas.

They enjoyed a banquet in Daming Prefecture, conducted physical examinations and treatments for Daming, his wife, and their children, and finally took away a reward of one million taels of silver.

However, as soon as they stepped outside, a trusted confidant of the daimyo came to "kindly" remind them that the casinos in the City of Fire were not suitable for their style of play.

Upon hearing this, Tsunade snorted coldly, turned her face away, and left.

"Qian Shuo, gambling is really boring," she said listlessly. "You can only lose money, you can't win money, and in the end, it all comes down to the power behind the casino."

Xingyuan Qianshuo calmly said, "The rules and mechanisms of casinos are inherently designed to ensure that the house profits in the long run. Gamblers may win occasionally, but as long as they keep gambling, they will eventually give the money back."

"However," he changed the subject, a slight smile playing on his lips, "Tsunade, your luck in gambling is exceptional, making you a one-of-a-kind gambler in the ninja world."

Tsunade's lips curled up slightly, clearly enjoying the description of her as a "one-of-a-kind gambler."

But after a moment, she sighed again: "But if I keep winning money, it doesn't feel very interesting anymore."

Xingyuan Qianshuo shook his head and chuckled, never expecting that winning money might actually help Tsunade quit gambling.

"Shall we continue?" he asked with a smile.

"Continue." Tsunade said without hesitation, her fighting spirit rekindled in her eyes. "Before the news spreads, let's use the Flying Thunder God Technique to quickly travel to other cities."

"Haha." Xingyuan Qianshuo couldn't help but laugh when he saw her shake off her gloomy mood.

Take a night's rest.

The following day, Xingyuan Qianshuo made arrangements: the shadow clone would lead Shizune and the other three on separate journeys, while the main body would travel with Tsunade to various casinos in the ninja world.

The shadow clone led Shizune and the other three southwards, preparing to head to the Spirit Island of the Sea Kingdom.

Firstly, we need to find suitable summoning beasts for them—with their current chakra reserves, they can only contract small summoning beasts for the time being.

Secondly, they were searching for another member of the Uzumaki clan, Honoka Uzumaki.

To prevent the shadow clones from accidentally dissipating, Xingyuan Qianshuo left a Flying Thunder God mark on each of the four students' arms.

These marks will be removed after the trip.

Time flies, and ten days have passed in the blink of an eye.

The shadow clone, Chisaku, led Shizune and the other three from Izuku Port, the southernmost point of the peninsula where the Land of Tea is located. They passed through Jiro Island, the main island of the Land of the Sea, and Taro Island, and finally arrived at the Island of Spirits.
