The torture continues for the next two weeks as I have to memorize a plethora of knowledge.
The herbs and medicines are entirely different from my previous world because of the involvement of Chakra. Though some of their effect are almost the same, but more potent.
For various diseases, there is not much knowledge recorded. Shinobi continues to wage war and during warring periods, hardly anyone lived past Thirty. This reminded me of Itachi's disease.
Kishimoto has a knack for killing overpowered characters in a very unconventional way. Sakumo dies by suicide, Shisui dies by suicide, Itachi dies from an unknown disease. Nagato sacrifices his life, Grandpa Madara is backstabed by Black Zetsu.
Moving on to poisons, similar to medicinal herbs, poisons are also enhanced by Chakra. As for medical Ninjutsu's history, there are lots of incomplete text and record. Only after the formation of Hidden Villages did the shinobis start to compile them.
There is still a lot of knowledge buried within the depths of various clans record which they refuse to pass to others.
I found no records of anything related to 'Sage of Six Paths'. He is considered more of a fable than an actual person. Guess Black Zetsu did a good job of eliminating any trace of him.
'After this boring session of book reading, today we are finally about to start on our first lesson on Medical Ninjutsu, I suppose.'
I had doubts about the authenticity of Tsunade's words when she convinced Shizune and as expected Tsunade appears before us as she speaks,
"Before we start our lessons in Medical Ninjutsu, I would like to see your Chakra control.
Tsunade place jars in front of us. The jar has milk and coffee mixed within it.
"To test your Chakra Control, I would like you to separate milk and coffee in different layers. This is a simple test I came up with after pondering for a while. The faster and smoother you can do it, the better your Chakra control is."
She shakes the jars to further mix the milk and coffee.
"Now start! You have half an hour to separate the mixture."
I have good Chakra control. Beside my ninjutsu training, I practiced Chakra Control a lot. The situation turned even worse after the 'Sin Seal'. I have to micro-manage my Chakra consumption in order not to trigger the seal. I infused Chakra more than the necessary amount, the seal would start to suck me dry. So, my Chakra control improved further from this handicap.
I still miss those days when I could spam Jutsus non-stop and dominate anyone with my power. Now, even throwing a Lightning Release Rasengan will trigger the seal and leave me dry. I should pay a visit to Uzumaki Village sometime soon. Anyway, this test will be a breeze for me.
I concentrate Chakra in my hands as I redirect it inside the mixture. I start to fine control my Chakra as it interacted with Coffee and Milk particles. Slowly, step by step, I separate them based on their densities as small layers of milk and coffee form.
Tsunade looks at my mixture and nods.
"You are doing great, Izuna. Looks like your chakra control is quite good. Shizune, milk, and coffee have different compositions. Try to separate them according to that. We can also apply this lesson to extract poison from the body."
I separate milk and coffee in a few more seconds and after a while, Shizune also completes the process.
"Izuna your Chakra Control is up to the standard of a Medical-Nin. As for you, Shizune, you need to train hard in your Chakra control. You can still improve further." Tsunade remarks on our abilities.
"Next step is the 'Healing Technique'. You have to gather chakra in your palms in the shape of an orb and move it over injured areas to accelerate healing. There is also an advanced form of this technique called 'Mystical Palm Technique'. Only a few medical-nin can use this technique."
Tsunade presents a dummy doll to both of us.
"This doll is made up of special materials. Whenever you apply healing jutsu on this doll, the material of the doll starts to expand. There is a small cut on this doll. Your task is to use the 'Healing Technique' to close the split wound. Keep in mind, if you applied too much of the healing Chakra; the doll will inflate and blow from over-expanding due to excessive Chakra."
Both Shizune and I start to use the 'Healing Technique' taught by Tsunade. It is quite easy for me as I copied the entire process with my Sharingan when Tsunade demonstrated the technique. I have also copied the advance version 'Mystic Palm Technique' during the war, but I will improve step by step according to Tsunade's instructions.
In a few minutes, I easily closed the tear and handed the doll to Tsunade. Tsunade checked the doll and nodded,
"You have a good aptitude for Medical Ninjutsu, too bad you are more of a combat-oriented Shinobi. Your fighting skills are more useful than Medical skills."
After Shizune completes the process, Tsunade moves to the next step. She hands over Sakura buds to both of us as he demonstrates the next step,
"During an emergency, you can save a wounded partner or friend, if you can skilfully apply Chakra to their injuries. For this step, you need to bloom this Sakura bud with your Chakra."
'So, I have to provide enough nutrition to the buds to make them bloom. Chakra is versatile as we can use it in several ways.' I ponder over the nature of Chakra energy as I start to apply Chakra over Sakura buds.
After a short while, the Sakura buds bloom with pink flowers as I present them to Tsunade. Tsunade is surprised to see my progress. She praises me,
"Your medical skills are quite good, Izuna-kun. It would be a waste to let them rot in combat. Why don't you become a Combat medic?"
I shook my head and reply to her,
"Tsunade-san! I want to grow strong enough to not even allow my friends and family to get injured. I am learning medical ninjutsu to improve my Chakra control and as a precautionary measure for emergencies."
Tsunade sighs as she looks at Shizune. Shizune is struggling to bloom the bud as her expression is quite strained due to concentration.
Shizune ultimately fails as Sakura buds fail to bloom in the time limit. Tsunade consoles Shizune,
"It's alright. You need a little more practice and you will succeed. After this basic course, the next part will be the handling of Chakra tools. You should be able to infuse healing Chakra in scalpels and other tools while operating on a person.
Healing Techniques can only heal the external wounds, for internal injuries you need to operate on the patient to effectively treat him. We will start on that only after you completely master the basic course and effectively heal people in hospitals.
Izuna, you are ready for treating external injuries of patients. From tomorrow onwards, you can start to practice on patients in infirmary."
"Yes! Tsunade-san."
---------
I spent the next month practicing medical ninjutsu under Tsunade's guidance. Tsunade was surprised to see my proficiency with medical equipment as I handled them like an expert.
After just a week, I even completed a minor surgery which greatly shocked Tsunade.
"Kid! I really hope for you to practice Medical Ninjutsu. You can save countless lives during a battle." Tsunade tries to convince me again.
'If I have enough strength, then there would not be any need for battle. I can suppress my enemies with my strength alone, there will be no injuries or casualties.'
Such thoughts ran through the mind as I once again rejected her idea.
'Maybe I wasn't fated to be a doctor. The day I graduated from my masters and was free to practice; I lost my life on that very day. But still in my days as an intern, I saved plenty of people to earn enough Karma to reincarnate in this world with some cheats. I suppose!'
I even demonstrated the 'Mystic Palm Technique' to Tsunade, much to her surprise. In just two months, I have mastered nearly all the Medical Ninjutsu courtesy of Shadow clones.
I have no interest in Tsunade's 'Creation Rebirth Seal' since I have a healing factor. Her technique is flawed. Creation Technique doesn't repair the old cells instead it hastens the creation of new cells through the 'Cell Division'.
A body's cells can only split and divide only a certain number of times; after it reaches the limit, the body doesn't create new cells anymore. This is the reason why Tsunade's actual appearance was much older than her age. This technique also shortens the lifespan of the user, Tsunade could live so long because of her Uzumaki heritage.
Maybe in the future, I can perfect this technique and help Tsunade preserve her beauty. It is such a waste to let her turn into an old hag.

Inside the Hokage Office,
Izuna and his team listen to the details of their latest mission as Minato and Hiruzen explains to them,
"Konoha has received a backup request from Takigakure. According to the intel, The Hidden Waterfall Village is under attack from a group of unknown shinobis. In this crisis, the Village Head Hisen of Takigakure sent a request mission to Konoha.
Since this mission involves conflict between nations after the Third Shinobi War, we can't deploy normal shinobi teams to handle the situation. It may cause unrest if they discover the involvement of Konoha. So, I am assigning this task to your team. Help Hidden Waterfall deal with the crisis."
Hiruzen passes an intel scroll to our Team Leader. All of us flicker out of the Hokage Office, but Hiruzen stops the Captain.
"I have a task for you. Hidden Waterfall Village has a specialized liquid called 'Hero Water'. It is produced once every Hundred years and has some special properties. Try to negotiate with the Village Head for this water when you ask for compensation."
-------
All of us gather at the outskirts of Konoha as we march towards Takigakure. Takigakure is a hidden village in the Land of Waterfalls. It borders with the Land of Stone and Land of Fire as major Nations.
Takigakure isn't a major hidden village, since it doesn't have an official Kage. But it survived previous wars and is still standing after three wars.
The most notable shinobi of Takigakure is Kakuzu, a missing-nin who was ordered by the higher-ups of the Village to assassinate First Hokage, Hashirama Senju. He failed to complete his mission and returned to the Village only to face the harsh stigma and punishment on the failure of his insurmountable mission.
Kakuzu came to hold a violent hatred Takigakure and escaped from his imprisonment. Before he escaped, he violently massacred the Elders of the Village and plucked out their hearts. He fled the village, not before stealing one of the most prized 'Kinjutsu' of the village.
After the first war, Takigakure signed a peace treaty with Konoha, and since then it has been in a non-aggression pact with Konoha.
I skimmed through the intel provided by our captain on Takigakure. Not much detailed information is available regarding Takigakure, as my clearance level is not enough.
The flourishment of Takigakure is credited to its high number of Jounins. It has never been successfully invaded despite being surrounded by four other countries, a feat they are very proud of.
I can't seem to recall much of the information of Takigakure from anime. I only know about Kakuzu, since that guy was popular.
Our journey lasts for an entire day as we reach the borders of Takigakure. We reached near a very large tree, which easily dwarfs nearby trees. A large waterfall flows near the tree. We have reached the meeting spot assigned by Takigakure as we wait for our guide.
I sense a gaze on our team.
'Probably, they are monitoring us to confirm our hostility.'
The Captain walks up to the tree; he takes out a whistle from his pocket and blows it. The whistle produces some inaudible sound. This is the signal given by Takigakure to prove us as a friendly force. After waiting for a while, a team of Takigakure Jounins walks out from behind the tree.
'They have probably used a secret passageway to reach here.'
One of the Jounin walks to over Captain and stretches his hand. The captain passes a scroll to the Takigakure Jounin and waits for his response. The Takigakure jounins read through the scroll and used some sort of seal to check its authenticity.
After a while, he nods to us and leads us to the waterfall. The Jounin makes some hand signs and touches the waterfall. The water screen shifts a little, and a large stone with some seals appears in front of us. The jounin makes some more hand signs and slaps his hand in the center of the seal.
The boulder shakes as it moves from its position to reveal a passageway. One of the Jounin walks inside the passage and the other signals us to move inside.
Our team follows them inside, but all of us were on high alert for any suspicious activity. Some Jounins stay behind as they make some hand signs and the boulder covers the entrance once again.
"It is for safety measures. We don't want any invaders to infiltrate our village." The Jounin reassures us as we closely follow him.
The entire passage is an underground cave system with many passages and dead ends just like a maze. If not for the Takigakure Jounin leading us, our team might get lost in the maze. Using Ninjutsu to blow this place won't be a good idea, as the entire passage will collapse on top of us.
After walking for a while, we reached near a large water reservoir which has a barrier to isolate the water. We entered inside the barrier and swam toward the surface. After swimming for a while, we reached in the middle of a large lake.
We stood atop the water and followed the Jounin. The lake is in the center of the Village. There is a gazebo in the center of the lake. The jounin leads us to it. We could spot a man sitting in the center of the gazebo.
"Welcome friends from Konoha. I am pleased to see you here, I hope Hokage-sama is doing fine."
"There is no need for such pleasantries, Village Head Hisen-sama. Hokage-sama received your message, and he immediately deployed us to help you. Since it is a secret mission, we can't reveal our identities. Here is a message from Hokage-sama." The Captain passes a scroll to the Village Chief.
I scrutinize the Village Chief of Takigakure.
He had short smooth brown hair that greys on outside with only top maintain the brown color. He wore a black Takigakure forehead protector around his forehead and his hairs hang over the left and right side of it and he also had brown sideburns. He had small black-colored eyes and a small brown-colored goatee.
I could sense an enormous amount of Chakra from him, but if I were to rate him in strength, then he can be considered slightly weaker to Sannins.
'I think that's part of the reason why Takigakure doesn't have a Kage yet. Their strongest shinobi is quite weaker compared to other Kages.'
I assumed him to be the strongest shinobi of Takigakure. Well, you need strength to be accepted as Village Head by all shinobis of the Village.
After exchanging pleasantries with Captain, he directs the conversation to the main issue,
"Recently, just after the end of the Third Ninja War; a group of unknown shinobis starts to attack Shinobis from our village. Whenever they spot a team of Shinobis on a mission, they would attack and slaughter them.
We sent a team to deal with them, but they were strong enough to repel our efforts. The situation escalated when they forced one of our genins to reveal the location of the village. Since then, they would frequently assault our village in the wake of night and would kill lots of innocent civilians.
We haven't been able to figure out their motive. Our village stayed away from the previous two Ninja wars and we have maintained a friendly relation with other Nation after the First Hokage Incident."
The Village Chief Hisen sighs as he explains the details of attacks to us.
"I have requested Iwagakure and Konohagakure for the aid, but Iwagakure denied our request because of lack of personnel on their sides because of the war. Thankfully, your people from Konoha arrived to help us."
He points to a nearby jounin as he continues,
"Suien will help you with your lodgings, we will need your help during our night patrol. From the recent attack pattern of enemies, they are most likely to strike us today."
Suien had long spiky hair, small dark eyes, and a goatee. He wore a dark blue jacket, grey pants, black shinobi sandals. He wore his forehead protector like a bandanna on his forehead.
'This guy has the aura of a villain.' Somehow, this Suien guy gives me the vibes of a villain of some small arc. I ignore this feeling as I follow him to our lodgings.
The Village Head has reserved quite a luxurious inn for us near a large waterfall. After we are settled in the inn, I explored the Hidden Waterfall Village and I ask Captain for permission.
"As long as you don't break the protocol, you are free to do anything. However, keep your guard up in the village."
I change my appearance using Transformation Jutsu and walks out of the inn to tour the village.
The village had Southeast Asian Aesthetics to it. I sightsee various places in the village as I enjoyed the local cuisines.
'It seems more like a holiday, then a top-secret mission to me.'
