"It's almost time to cultivate in the Small World again."
At night, after seeing Wanda fall asleep, Li Chuan opened his panel and clicked the button to enter the Small World again.
Having completed the previous mission, he had already acquired the Healing Palm Technique and an additional two months of time in the Small World.
Currently, he had a total of eight months to cultivate in the Naruto World, and if things went smoothly, his strength would make considerable progress upon his next return.
After a dizzying sensation, he opened his eyes again and found himself back in the Prince's Residence in the Land of Fire.
"Kinoe, come in for a moment!"
"Your Highness, do you have any other instructions?"
Kinoe returned to the room, looking somewhat puzzled.
In her perception of time, she had just handed the soldier pills to Your Highness and left the room, only to be called back again after a few steps.
"Send someone to buy more fish, live ones. We'll deliver them to the temple together later."
Li Chuan thought for a moment and said.
"What kind of fish do you want?"
Kinoe blinked twice.
She thought Li Chuan wanted to buy fish to give to the monks of the Fire Temple. Although the Fire Temple was a temple, it did not prohibit alcohol or meat, and fish could also be eaten.
"Any kind will do, preferably slightly larger ones with strong vitality."
Li Chuan waved his hand.
He wasn't buying fish to eat, but to practice the Healing Palm Technique.
The reason the Healing Palm Technique was classified as an A-rank Ninjutsu, as Li Chuan summarized after reading the scroll, was twofold: first, it required extremely strong Chakra control, otherwise it would not have any healing effect.
Second, it required extensive medical knowledge, or more precisely, an understanding of human anatomy, cells, meridians, and so on.
Therefore, to become a qualified Medical Ninja, one didn't need a massive amount of Chakra or combat talent. The most important things were Chakra control ability and the capacity to learn medical knowledge.
This is why many powerful Jonin do not learn medical Ninjutsu and only use bandages when injured.
They simply do not have the time or effort to learn such complex and difficult-to-understand medical knowledge.
Moreover, many powerful Ninja possess strong combat intelligence and Ninjutsu talent, but are academically poor in normal studies, such as the protagonist Naruto.
As a martial artist, Li Chuan had, in fact, learned a great deal about Traditional Chinese Medicine from his master since childhood, in addition to practicing martial arts.
Medicine and martial arts are inseparable; if a martial artist doesn't learn some medicine, how can he save himself after getting injured? Furthermore, he often got injured fighting death matches abroad, so he had also studied some Western medicine.
Therefore, regarding human medical knowledge, he had no problems at all. What he needed to focus on was practicing more precise Chakra control.
And for this, following Tsunade's method of using fish for training was the most suitable.
Li Chuan's practice of precise Chakra control was not just for learning the Healing Palm Technique; it itself could play a significant role in combat.
More precise Chakra control allows for better control of Ninjutsu, reducing unnecessary Chakra waste when performing Ninjutsu, and enhancing the power of Ninjutsu.
As a novice who had only been refining Chakra for five months, Li Chuan's Chakra reserves were similar to those of a normal Genin. To perform Ninjutsu multiple times, he had to learn to control Chakra more precisely.
After staying at the Prince's Residence for most of the day, Li Chuan returned to the Fire Temple in the afternoon with a large quantity of live fish.
"Chuan, why did you buy so many fish?"
Chiriku looked at the barrels of live fish being carried into the temple by Li Chuan's subordinates, also showing a puzzled expression.
Clearly, his thoughts were the same as Kinoe's earlier; he thought Li Chuan bought the fish for the monks in the temple to eat.
So, Li Chuan explained his idea of using fish to practice precise Chakra control and his desire to learn medical Ninjutsu.
"There's such a clever method!"
Chiriku praised inwardly, then said:
"Wait a moment, I'll go find you some scrolls."
As a temple, although the Fire Temple did not have as complete a system of medical Ninjutsu information as Konoha, nor as many powerful medical Ninjutsu, it still knew some ordinary healing Ninjutsu.
Mainly, Sage Art Chakra itself had a certain bonus for healing, and the Ninja Monks of the Fire Temple would sometimes treat minor illnesses for people who came to worship Buddha.
When Chiriku returned, he had several more scrolls in his hand, which contained records of the Fire Temple's medical Ninjutsu and related theoretical knowledge.
"I'm not skilled in healing Ninjutsu; you'll have to rely on yourself."
After handing the scrolls to Li Chuan, Chiriku patted him on the shoulder encouragingly.
And after receiving the scrolls, Li Chuan, combining them with the Healing Palm Technique learning scroll from the mission space, once again entered a mode of intense study and cultivation.
The Fire Temple's healing Ninjutsu was very crude, at most D-rank, and the theoretical knowledge was also very disorganized and unsystematic.
But it played a very important bridging role for Li Chuan's study of the Healing Palm Technique.
The understanding of the human body also varied slightly between different Worlds. The Traditional Chinese and Western medical knowledge in Li Chuan's mind, when translated to this World, would certainly have many differences in terminology and expression.
Moreover, it involved the miraculous energy of Chakra, which further evolved many new things.
If Li Chuan had to understand these solely by himself, it would be very difficult, but with some theoretical knowledge from the Fire Temple as a transition, it became much easier.
So, as time went on, with his efforts, he finally began to slowly master the Healing Palm Technique, an A-rank healing technique.
Of course, in addition to the cultivation of the Healing Palm Technique and Chakra control, Li Chuan did not neglect his cultivation in other aspects, such as learning the cultural theory classes taught by Chiriku, and integrated combat training of Ninjutsu and Taijutsu.
In this World, there were no high-tech products like surveillance or satellite positioning. He could find an open space near the temple and practice Ninjutsu freely.
If there was anything he didn't understand, he could also go to Chiriku for guidance.
Time flew by, and five months passed.
Inside the forest outside the Fire Temple, Li Chuan formed hand seals:
"Wind Release: Scattering Flower Dance."
A whirlwind spontaneously generated around him, causing the surrounding leaves to rapidly spin around his body. After a few seconds, the whirlwind disappeared, and the leaves fell.
"It uses the spinning of leaves to cause damage. The power isn't high, but it can disrupt the enemy's vision, allowing me to close in and use Taijutsu. It's decent enough!"
A long time ago, Li Chuan had Kinoe send people to the underground exchange to heavily reward Ninjutsu, and now he had gradually gained quite a few rewards.
The D-rank Wind Release Ninjutsu just now was one of them.
However, the Ninjutsu that could be bought with money were basically common and not very powerful, at most D-rank. Up to now, he hadn't even bought a single C-rank Ninjutsu.
