Naruto: My setting is above yours

Chapter 8 The Root

Tsunade fell into deep thought.

She understood what the brat meant.

Genma asked this because of Tsunade's condition during her battle with Edo Tensei Madara.

With the Yin Seal broken and the Hundred Healings Technique applied, creation and regeneration can be achieved, allowing any injury to heal rapidly, even one with a pierced heart.

However, this state has a drawback: even very small wounds will heal rapidly through rapid cell division.

This leads to two problems: excessive chakra consumption and shortened lifespan due to excessive cell division.

That is, overtreatment!

So why does this happen?

Is it because Tsunade is unable to control her chakra usage in this state?

This is obviously impossible.

Xuanma believes that the key lies in the intensity of the change in the Yang-element nature corresponding to the Creation and Regeneration technique.

Tsunade was unable to freely adjust the strength of her Yang Release nature transformation, resulting in the overtreatment of minor wounds and the consumption of more chakra.

Furthermore, Hashirama Senju's self-healing without hand seals is likely a passive process, according to Genma's speculation.

It is a sage body originating from the Sage of Six Paths.

This is the same as Karin's special constitution; Karin is also unable to control her own abilities.

Their Yang Escape technique was naturally and consistently at an extremely high level.

Of course, these are speculations made by Xuanma based on intelligence and his own cultivation.

That's why I asked Tsunade this question today.

Tsunade was deep in thought when Shizune whispered, "Using a Yang Release nature transformation at the level of Healing Palm Technique would inevitably require a corresponding amount of chakra, so why not just use Healing Palm Technique directly?"

"Even if the healing technique requires less chakra control, achieving the same level of Yang Release nature transformation as the Healing Palm Technique still requires the same level of chakra control."

That's exactly right. That's why Xuanma's question just now left Shizune completely bewildered. It was utterly unreasonable and pointless.

Genma smiled, then raised his right palm, which glowed with green chakra: "Shizune, this is Yang Release chakra. In terms of nature transformation, is it different from yours?"

Silently examined the sensation carefully, then shook her head.

Genma looked at Tsunade: "Lady Tsunade, can you demonstrate a Yang Release nature transformation stronger than mine in this way?"

Tsunade's gaze towards Genma had changed: this brat was indeed different.

She had to admit that the kid had piqued her interest.

"Not now, but give me some time, it shouldn't be a problem."

Tsunade was very confident in herself.

Shizune, being a clever child, suddenly exclaimed, "If we succeed, will we be able to use the Palm Healing Technique without a seal?"

Tsunade nodded: "It can be performed without hand seals."

But the most crucial point isn't in that aspect, though there's no need to explain it to Shizune now; her comprehension isn't sufficient yet.

When Xuanma heard Jingyin mention hand seals, he immediately thought of Indra, who created them.

What is the purpose of a seal?

To enable ninjas to better perform ninjutsu.

So where does this manifest itself?

Changes in form and change in properties!

Therefore, Genma's repeated questioning of Tsunade was actually in pursuit of the essence of Yang Release nature transformation becoming stronger without hand seals.

Just like the nature transformation of Wind Release.

Tsunade was also intrigued and picked up a scroll from the table, handing it to Genma: "This is a scroll for a chakra scalpel. It doesn't require much in terms of nature transformation; the main focus is on shape transformation and chakra control."

"Mastering this technique will greatly enhance your chakra control."

"I'll teach you what you just mentioned after I've mastered it."

Genma didn't stand on ceremony and reached out to take it, saying, "Thank you, Lady Tsunade."

Tsunade waved her hand, then shooed him away: "Go and cultivate on your own first. If you don't understand anything, come and ask. Go!"

Xuanma got up, said goodbye, and left.

Then Shizune was sent off to train on her own, and Tsunade took a deep breath and began her long-awaited training.

……

"Tsunade is currently the strongest medical ninja in the ninja world; her talent is undeniable. She should be able to handle it, right?"

After leaving Tsunade's house, Genma looked back one last time.

He was really looking forward to Tsunade's results.

Turning his gaze away, Xuanma quickly returned home and entered his study.

He opened the scroll and read it carefully.

The difficulty level of the Chakra Scalpel is A-rank, which is equivalent to the difficulty of a Jonin.

Moreover, this is a ninjutsu without a hand seal.

As Tsunade said, the only difficulty for him lay in shape transformation and chakra control.

"It really suits me."

Xuanma smiled and then began his cultivation with great enthusiasm.

……

Winter passed and spring came. Before they knew it, the spring break of Konoha 43 had ended, and Genma officially became a third-year student at the Ninja Academy.

"You little rascal, you actually had a trick up your sleeve."

Xuanma opened his mouth and exhaled smoke, his hair standing on end.

He was electrocuted.

Kakashi, on the other side, showed no remorse whatsoever, and retorted confidently, "Don't forget, intelligence warfare is also part of a ninja's battles."

He had just mastered the Lightning Release: Nature Transformation, so he tested it on his friend Genma, and it seemed to work well, although he didn't manage to knock Genma out with electricity.

"That's true, since that's the case..."

No sooner had he finished speaking than, two moments later, Genma suddenly appeared behind Kakashi, pressing a kunai against his neck.

A tingling sensation ran down Kakashi's scalp, and his body stiffened involuntarily.

Then he saw Xuanma, whose hair had been standing on end from the electric shock, explode into smoke and disappear.

Kakashi's eyes widened instantly: "Shadow Clone Technique?"

"When?"

Genma took the kunai.

This was the first time he had used the Substitution Jutsu during a sparring match with Kakashi.

Kakashi turned around and saw that Genma had marks left by a lightning attack, immediately overturning his previous assumption.

The lightning attack was indeed aimed at the main body.

So what just happened?

Is it a combination of clones and illusions?

Genma smiled but didn't explain. He waved his hand and said, "That's enough for today."

"Speaking of which, you've already mastered two types of property changes. It seems I need to work even harder to surpass you."

Kakashi retorted, "Is there anyone who works harder than you?"

The two most energetic people of his generation were Genma and Kai, keeping him constantly on the go.

"Besides, you've mastered two nature transformations and just used three genjutsu, while I've only mastered one ninjutsu, Lightning Release."

Kakashi added.

Xuanma became unhappy when this was mentioned: "My illusions are completely useless against you."

This is very awkward.

Kakashi easily saw through the three illusions.

The skill ceiling for illusions is indeed quite low.

Of course, although Kakashi has not yet graduated, his qualities in all aspects are among the best even in the Chunin group.

So low-level illusions are only good for bullying weak opponents?

Seeing his friend's frustrated expression, Kakashi thought for a moment and suggested, "Your talent in genjutsu is higher than your talent in medical ninjutsu, why don't you try developing your own genjutsu?"

Genma raised an eyebrow: "You're planning to develop your own ninjutsu?"

Kakashi twitched his eye: "You're... being too sensitive!"

Xuanma guessed correctly!

Although his father was proficient in Lightning Release, he did not master many Lightning Release ninjutsu, but was good at combining Lightning Release with chakra blades.

Therefore, he had the idea of ​​developing his own lightning ninjutsu.

Of course, the key point is a quote from his father, Sakumo Hatake: "What suits you best is the best!"

Sakumo Hatake believed in his son's talent, which is why he provided this guidance.

After all, Kakashi, who is still young, has plenty of time to try.
