Capítulo 37: **Chapter 37: Medical Skills Maxed Out**
Looking at Hattori with that "Guess all you want; I'm not telling you" expression, Chiyo's mouth twitched before she coldly spat out a line.
"Hattori, I'll say this one last time. No matter how much you protest, I'm not sending you to the Summoning Realm, so give it up!"
Hattori: "╭(°A°`)╮"
Huh? Summoning Realm? What's that?
Hattori was momentarily stunned by Chiyo's words, taking a few seconds to process it.
"Oh, right. A while back, I made a big deal about wanting to summon Slugs properly. I even made a fuss with Chiyo, demanding to go to the Summoning Realm to sign a contract with them. She probably thinks I'm trying to blackmail her by running away!"
Seeing her firm, uncompromising expression, Hattori realized he'd guessed correctly.
This left him a bit amused.
"Seems I was overthinking it. As impressive as Chiyo is, she couldn't possibly know I slipped away to Konoha these past days and then snuck back again. She must just think I'm hiding out to pressure her."
Having figured this out, Hattori decided to "play along."
He dropped his uneasy expression, wrinkling his brow, pouting, and showing a face of grievance mixed with indignation.
"(￣３￣) Sensei, you're so unfair. I only wanted to sign with the Slugs and become a medical ninja surpassing Tsunade! Why are you stopping me?"
Just to sign with the Slugs? Surpass Tsunade? Only that?
Listening to Hattori's bold words, Chiyo was taken aback at first but then gave a bitter smile.
"Such naive courage… Not even I, your teacher… Never mind, you wouldn't understand now. You'll get it when you're older. This isn't the place for you to stay; go back to the village tomorrow."
Without waiting for Hattori's response, she turned and left the tent.
"Uh…"
Seeing this, Hattori blinked, then a smile crept onto his face.
"Perfect!"
Currently, his Yin Seal was forming, draining a large amount of MP daily. Based on how things were going, it would take at least a hundred days to complete!
Although this was faster than Sakura's process in the original storyline, for Hattori, not being able to use MP freely for a hundred days was a real disadvantage.
Especially during wartime, if he encountered enemies, he'd face MP shortages, reducing both his combat and survival abilities.
That's why he called this period his "weak phase."
In this case, hiding out in the village until this phase passed seemed wise. Even if Chiyo hadn't brought it up, Hattori would have found a way to suggest it himself.
Now that she mentioned it first, he didn't even need to make excuses, so he lay down happily.
"Wish granted! Time to sleep; let my XP accumulate on its own!"
With that, he pulled up the blanket and fell into a deep sleep.
**[EXP+5]**
**[EXP+5]**
**[EXP+5]**
…
The next morning, when Hattori woke up, he was surprised to find that he'd leveled up five times in his sleep! His personal stats had also changed.
**[Name: Hattori]**
**[Title: Puppet Tyrant]**
**[Level: 40]**
**[HP: 418/418]**
**[MP: 271/905 (Yin Seal: 866/90500)]**
**[EXP: 0/400]**
**[Skills: Medical, Puppetry]**
**[Combat Assessment: A]**
Hattori: "()"
Lying down to gain experience is the way to go!
Too bad that after exceeding the level cap for skill unlocks, there's no more XP. Otherwise, he felt he could practically defeat Kaguya just by lying around!
Though slightly disappointed, Hattori was content overall. Being able to level up from 35 to 40 in a single day was plenty satisfying.
Plus, his combat assessment had upgraded from A- to A, meaning his overall strength had reached the Jonin level.
What's there to complain about?
The only minor regret, Hattori thought, was not taking the chance to boost his **Puppet Control** skill while lying around.
"There was so much happening yesterday that I completely forgot, but no worries. I'm sure there's a new skill unlocked at level 40, so I'll still have ways to earn XP!"
Thinking this, he quickly set aside that little regret and focused on his newly unlocked skills.
But as he glanced, he froze.
Instead of the usual purple notification for a new skill, he saw a golden prompt:
**[Specialty: Medical has reached max level. You've earned the "Tsunade-Style Medical Ninjutsu Graduation Package." Would you like to accept it?]**
**[Yes/No]**
Max level for Medical? And a "Tsunade-Style Medical Ninjutsu Graduation Package"?
Staring at the message, Hattori was stunned but quickly chose **[Yes]**.
The familiar purple skill unlock prompt appeared the moment he confirmed.
**[Unlocked Forbidden Jutsu: Creation Rebirth]**
**[Unlocked Technique: Superhuman Strength]**
**[Unlocked Special Ability: Sure Loss at Gambling]**
Below were the details for each of these new abilities.
**[Forbidden Jutsu: Creation Rebirth]**: Usable once Yin Seal is activated with the Byakugou no Jutsu. Restores all HP, removes all bleeding and fatal effects, and regenerates organs and limbs. Each use costs 1000 MP.
**[Note: As long as MP holds out, I am the First Hokage!]**
**[Technique: Superhuman Strength]**: An ability from the Senju Clan that allows precise chakra control, concentrating chakra in any body part to unleash a powerful force. A punch can shatter walls, and a stomp can break the ground.
**[Note: Don't get hit by me, or you might not live.]**
**[Special Ability: Sure Loss at Gambling]**: Tsunade's unique skill; in any form of gambling, success is impossible. Every game ends in utter bankruptcy.
**[Note: Do you think I love money? No, I love spending it—like the ultimate jackpot.]**
Hattori: "Σ(っ°Д°;)っ"
The first two are fine, but what's with the **[Sure Loss at Gambling]**?
Even if I'm inheriting Tsunade's powers, did it have to include her bad luck, too?
At that moment, Hattori made a silent vow.
"If it's the last thing I do, I'll never gamble!"
Resolving this, he looked at his MP bar, still less than a third full and steadily decreasing, and closed his eyes, lying back on the bed.
Replenishing MP took priority!
But before he could fall asleep, a familiar voice reached his ears.
"Hey, you annoying brat. Chiyo sent me to escort you back to the village. Let's go!"
"Huh…"
Hearing the voice, Hattori opened his eyes and saw the familiar face of Rasa standing outside the tent, looking very impatient.
Seeing this, Hattori rolled over, facing away from Rasa, and raised an eyebrow at him.
"_(:ι」∠)_ I'm asleep. Whatever it is, we'll talk when I wake up. You can leave."
Rasa: "(╬￣皿￣)"
You little—this is too much!
