Chapter 35: **Chapter 35: Unlocking the Yin Seal**
Jiraiya left under the cover of night, as he often did. For someone like him, missing a few nights of sleep hardly mattered.
But for Hattori, things were different.
Now that his MP was over 800, the standard ration pills, which only restored 100 MP each, barely covered his consumption.
He had to rely on sleep.
With a full night's sleep, he could recover over half his MP. Another nap in the afternoon, and his MP would nearly be restored completely. This was far more efficient than relying on ration pills!
So, after Jiraiya left, Hattori crawled into the tent left behind and quickly drifted off to sleep.
As for the risk of a sneak attack, he wasn't worried.
Right now, Konoha and the Sand Village were in a standoff, so a large-scale conflict was unlikely. Plus, this was Jiraiya's chosen camp—naturally, it was secure. Otherwise, he wouldn't have left for Konoha so easily.
Though carefree, Jiraiya wasn't the type to be reckless with the safety of his comrades and village.
Hattori was certain of that.
The final reassurance was that as he entered the tent, he noticed an entire squad of ninjas standing guard outside, likely assigned to ensure his safety.
Thanks to all this, Hattori slept soundly, undisturbed until morning.
When he finally stepped out of the tent the next day, he was greeted by a group of men in white robes, which caught him by surprise.
"Uh... who are you guys?"
"Good morning, Lord Hattori!"
One of the men stepped forward and bowed respectfully.
"We're from Konoha's medical corps. We heard you're Lady Tsunade's apprentice and came by to confirm!"
"Oh!" Hattori nodded. "Got it. So, how do you want to confirm it? Need me to do anything?"
The medic chuckled and waved his hand. "No need, sir! Since you're staying in Jiraiya's tent, that's proof enough for us!"
"Well, that's great!"
Relieved to avoid any hassle, Hattori was especially glad since they were from the medical corps—just what he needed.
"I actually came here to lend a hand to my fellow villagers. While I may not be the best in all areas, I'm pretty confident when it comes to medical jutsu and healing!"
As he said this, Hattori's confidence naturally showed in his smile.
"If possible, please take me to the medical unit. I might be able to help."
The medics were initially concerned about his young age, but with his confidence and the endorsement of being Tsunade's student, they couldn't find a reason to refuse.
They were also curious to see the skills of Tsunade's apprentice.
"Alright, Lord Hattori, please follow us. Our medical unit is nearby."
"Sounds good!"
Hattori followed them toward the medical unit.
Unlike the Sand Village's setup, Konoha's medical unit was almost at the front lines. Although riskier, this positioning allowed them to treat injured ninjas immediately.
When Hattori arrived, he saw medical staff dressing wounds and many bandaged ninjas moving in and out.
Seeing so many injured people left Hattori stunned.
"Wait... there are so many casualties? Are Sand's forces that relentless?"
"Not exactly," replied a medic beside him, shaking his head and explaining.
"Sand is our primary opponent, but we also face Rain and Grass. Especially Rain—they're quite powerful under Hanzo's leadership, rivaling the Five Great Nations."
"Oh…"
Hattori understood the situation better now, realizing the immense pressure on Konoha.
"Guess that's the price of holding such prosperous lands… But that's not my problem—I'm just here for the experience!"
With that thought, he refocused and immediately bit his finger, formed a seal, and activated his technique.
"Summoning Jutsu!"
With a low shout, a massive slug, nearly ten meters tall, appeared in a puff of smoke.
This sight left the medical ninjas around him, and everyone nearby, utterly speechless.
But Hattori paid them no mind. After summoning the slug, he gave it an order.
"Katsuyu, split and heal the wounded!"
"Yes, Lord Hattori!"
At his command, Katsuyu split into dozens of smaller slugs, each about the size of a person, and crawled toward the injured.
They moved quickly, reaching many of the injured before they even realized it. By the time they felt the slugs moving away, they were astonished to find their wounds had healed.
The surrounding ninjas finally snapped out of their shock and began shouting excitedly.
"It's Katsuyu… Lady Tsunade's Katsuyu!"
"That's right! This is Lady Tsunade's incredible healing technique—the Katsuyu Technique!"
"No, it's not… That boy just used it! Who on earth is he?"
Excited whispers spread like a tide around Hattori, but they didn't distract him in the slightest.
His attention was fixed on the rapidly scrolling purple notifications:
**[EXP +100]**
**[EXP +100]**
**[EXP +100]**
**[Level +1]**
**[EXP +100]**
**[EXP +100]**
Every time one of the slugs used a healing jutsu, it drained 25 MP from Hattori, and each time they healed a wounded ninja, he gained experience.
Within minutes, his 800 MP was completely drained. Had he not canceled the summoning, he likely would have fainted from MP exhaustion.
But the rewards were well worth it. After healing so many, his level shot up to 35—
**[Name: Hattori]**
**[Title: Puppet Tyrant]**
**[Level: 35]**
**[HP: 368/368]**
**[MP: 62/862]**
**[EXP: 10/350]**
**[Specialties: Medical, Puppetry]**
**[Combat Power: A-]**
At the same time, he unlocked a new skill.
**[Unlocked — Yin Seal: Creation Rebirth]**
**[Yin Seal: Engrave a Yin Seal on yourself, creating a chakra pool equivalent to 10-100 times your MP. Every day, it stores 10-100% of your MP.]**
**[Creation Rebirth: Once the chakra pool is full, unlock the seal to spread its markings over your body, temporarily increasing your MP limit by 1-10 times, significantly enhancing the power of all ninjutsu until the chakra depletes.]**
Seeing this new skill, Hattori was momentarily stunned. When he finally processed it, his face lit up with sheer joy!
"Hell yeah, I've hit the jackpot this time!"
