Kapitel 92: Chapter 72 : Changes in Body!!
"The Healing Tag?"
The Third Hokage looked thoughtfully at the Seal Tag on the desk, which resembled an explosive tag.
"Yes. This can significantly alleviate the shortage of medical-nin," replied Yakushi Nono, who had been pushed to the forefront, with a serious tone.
"Specifically?" The Third Hokage could see the potential value behind the Healing Tag, but he needed more information to make a clear judgment.
"It can rapidly heal wounds and restore the physical condition affected by injuries. It also helps to recover a certain amount of stamina.
These effects have already been verified on patients in the Konoha Hospital. It functions similarly to the Mystical Palm Technique and is stable enough," Yakushi Nono answered honestly, without exaggerating the Healing Tag's capabilities.
"It can serve as an emergency method for treating wounds on the battlefield. But for cases of poisoning or more complex injuries, medical-nin would still need to examine the patient and apply targeted treatment based on symptoms."
"So it can't replace medical-nin," the Third Hokage noted, focusing on the key point. "What about the cost?"
"Nara Kagetsu improved the production process and materials for making the Seal Tag. According to his calculations, the cost is equivalent to that of an explosive tag," Yakushi Nono responded.
Hearing Kagetsu's name, the Third Hokage's thoughts momentarily shifted.
Among the younger generation in the village, many had already begun to make their mark outside, gradually gaining recognition. Most notably, Namikaze Minato, who had held off a surprise attack from the Hidden Cloud forces at the border.
Next was Nara Kagetsu, who had mastered the Wood Release.
The village's top officials were aware that Kagetsu's Wood Release was a result of his own techniques, but the rumor spread by the Hidden Cloud suggested that Konoha had regained the Wood Release Kekkei Genkai.
As direct disciples of Jiraiya and Orochimaru, both young men were, of course, under the Third Hokage's close watch and guidance.
To him, Kagetsu's talent was remarkably similar to Orochimaru's, frequently coming up with impressive technological innovations.
An explosive tag, huh?
Refocusing his thoughts, the Third Hokage began considering deeper implications.
Although explosive tags were costly, they weren't a significant financial burden for the village. Similarly, the cost of the Healing Tag would also be manageable.
Having come to realize the vital role of medical-nin, he naturally didn't underestimate the impact that Healing Tags could have on the battlefield.
"As long as their effectiveness can be confirmed, the village will consider purchasing a batch of Healing Tags. We'll set the price equivalent to that of explosive tags," the Third Hokage said, biting his pipe as he made the decision.
"Thank you, Hokage-sama!" Nonō Yakushii felt a bit of excitement.
As a part of the Medical Division that needed to provide personnel for making Healing Tags, there was a chance for them to share some of the benefits from the negotiations with Kagetsu.
It was a collaboration between the Medical Division and the Technology Development Department.
...
After some time, the Healing Tags appeared as part of the war reserves, alongside Explosive Tags, in the ninja's equipment.
Of course, only Jonin and Chunin could be allocated a few of them. For Genin, they would have to buy them themselves.
With the Medical Division established by Tsunade, ninjas from other villages started to realize the importance of medical ninjas. However, only Konoha had been able to systematically train medical ninjas up to that point.
Ninjas in Konoha, especially those without a medical ninja assigned to their team, began to highly value the Healing Tags.
In battle, injuries are inevitable, and injuries lead to a decrease in condition. A decrease in condition greatly increases the chance of death.
This was especially true during wars. So, a Healing Tag could be a critical tool to recover and fight back when it mattered the most.
The Technology Development and Medical Divisions assigned special personnel to ensure the production of the Healing Tags.
Ninjas who received Healing Tags would often test them right away. For example, they would find an animal or a fish, cause an injury, and then use the Healing Tag to treat it.
Some preferred to experience it themselves, using kunai to create wounds on their own bodies and then testing the Healing Tag's effects.
In just a short period, the Healing Tag gained more recognition than any other creation by Kagetsu.
[Nara Kagetsu's Medical Series Item: Healing Tag
Quality: Blue
Properties: A ninjutsu sealing storage.
Description: The Healing Tag is made with special chakra paper. It's inscribed with the necessary sealing symbols, which store a healing jutsu and the palm healing technique. To use, simply place it on the wound and activate it with chakra. The seal will release the stored healing jutsu to treat the injury. The paper will be consumed in the process, and the treatment lasts until the seal fades and disappears.
Note 1: The paper disappears with the stored ninjutsu after use.
Note 2: The effect of the Healing Tag varies depending on the stored healing ninjutsu. The paper can hold up to an A-rank healing ninjutsu.
Note 3: This is part of the medical system's tools. It helps reduce ninja casualties.
Recognition: 18,711/50,000
Physical Strength +30, Chakra +2000
New Recognition Feature: Yang-Type Body Trait +1.]
The blue-quality Healing Tag's recognition rate wasn't as high as the purple or gold-quality versions, but due to its large numbers, it still far outpaced other results in the same period.
Aside from the fact that the higher the recognition, the more inspiration it provided for related derivative technologies, the addition of the special Yang-type body trait (+1) was something Kagetsu found both curious and exciting.
If it wasn't for the label he saw on the panel inside his mind, Kagetsu wouldn't have noticed anything unusual about his body.
After self-testing and carefully feeling the changes in his body, he finally understood this new characteristic.
First, his body had become lighter. The Yin chakra put a lot of strain on the body. If the body's physical condition couldn't keep up, and a balance with the Yin chakra wasn't achieved, the body would feel oppressed and weakened. In more severe cases, it could even lead to bloodline diseases.
Now, Kagetsu's Yin chakra was growing rapidly with his age, and the speed of growth was even faster than the development of his physical strength.
So sometimes, Kagetsu could understand why Kakashi, in the future, would always seem so weak because of his Sharingan.
The increase in his Yang chakra allowed Kagetsu to feel a long-lost sense of ease.
According to previous tests, his body's reactions and physical abilities had become faster and stronger than before.
Even the medical ninjutsu related to the Yang chakra was easier for him to use.
This change in his condition made Kagetsu unconsciously think about other chakra attributes.
