Suddenly, a wealth of knowledge appeared in Shimizu's mind, filled with extensive information about medicinal herbs.
Along with it, more refined knowledge of chakra control continued to surface in his mind. His body felt like it was immersed in a warm ocean, and he became much more energized.
"Looks like the amount of chakra I can use will also increase."
Chakra is the total of mental energy and physical energy, also known as physical strength.
In essence, it's a combination of Yin and Yang forces, which refine chakra.
A person's chakra can be increased through training, but there is a limit.
Some people have stronger bodies, others have stronger mental resilience. Those who can refine chakra more efficiently have much more chakra than ordinary people.
The Uzumaki clan and the Senju clan are typical examples; they have enormous life force, so their descendants generally possess a large amount of chakra. They are inheritors of Yang Release, naturally possessing Yang attributes, which represent physical strength.
In contrast, Yin Release is represented by the Uchiha clan and the Nara clan.
The Sharingan and Shadow Techniques are products of Yin Release, representing mental strength, and they are naturally endowed with Yin attributes.
To release a jutsu, chakra must first be converted from physical energy.
For example, if a jutsu requires 20 points of chakra, but you refine 30 points of chakra, 10 points will be wasted.
Unless one has a Jonin-level chakra control ability, one cannot freely convert the excess back.
Improving chakra control means reducing waste, and as a result, the usable chakra will increase.
The overall result is that more jutsu can be released, and endurance will be higher.
"Tomorrow, I should check if Medic Ninja Nono Yakushi is still in the hospital."
According to the simulator's prediction, on the fifth day, he will visit the hospital to treat a wound on his forehead and meet Medic Ninja Nono Yakushi.
Shimizu hasn't forgotten her reputation.
He recalled the information he had on Nono Yakushi in his mind.
With shoulder-length golden hair and emerald green eyes, what stood out the most was her nun-like attire. Beneath the white headscarf, her slightly baby-faced, tender and compassionate expression stood out.
However, her body below was voluptuous, full of womanly charm, even described as provocatively so...
Shimizu shook his head, trying not to let his thoughts wander.
"A Walk-in Priestess... A title like that shows she's no ordinary person."
Nono Yakushi is the leader of the medical team, with impressive espionage skills, though that's just one of her sides.
Shimizu felt excited. If he became a medical ninja, he wouldn't need to fight on the front lines and could apply to be assigned to logistics instead.
"However, I need to prepare first."
Looking up at the sky, Shimizu set off towards a particular location within the Uchiha compound.
Konoha Hospital.
For the next few days, Shimizu went to the hospital after school, waiting.
On the first couple of days, he didn't see Nono Yakushi, but his patience paid off. He finally spotted her.
He had to seize the opportunity to learn from her medical skills before Nono Yakushi went to the orphanage.
"Hello, can I help you with something?"
Nono Yakushi stopped the people around her and looked curiously at Shimizu, who was shorter than her, asking gently.
"Big sister, my pigeon is hurt. Can you help me?"
Shimizu said, looking pitiful as he presented a pigeon.
It was a pigeon raised and trained by the Uchiha clan, along with some other birds like crows. Shimizu bought one from a clan member and then made a small cut on the pigeon's foot as an excuse to approach Nono Yakushi.
The wound was deep, but with the recovery ability of ninja beasts, it would likely heal in a few days.
"No problem."
Nono Yakushi glanced at the pigeon, recognizing the injury as minor, likely from a training accident.
She squatted down, gently took the pigeon from Shimizu's hands, and a faint green light appeared around her hands as she healed it.
If it were any other doctor, they might have declined, citing the busy nature of the hospital, which was meant for healing humans, not ninja animals. They might have told Shimizu not to be so reckless.
But the compassionate Nono Yakushi was moved by Shimizu's care for the little creature.
She assumed he must have come urgently to the hospital after seeing the pigeon's injury, not noticing the depth of the wound.
"It's all better now."
Nono Yakushi said in a gentle, big-sister tone, as she handed the pigeon back to Shimizu.
From Shimizu's angle, he couldn't help but notice the powerful aura she gave off.
Perhaps it was because her ninja armor usually obscured her form, but the power she radiated was undeniable.
"Thank you, big sister, but..."
Shimizu smiled as he took the pigeon, clearly about to say something else.
The pigeon stared at its owner with a silent gaze, flapping its wings and flying up to land on Shimizu's shoulder.
"Is there anything else?"
"Captain, we still have a lot of research to handle."
One of the members of Nono Yakushi's medical team reminded her.
At the moment, Konoha's medical technology and equipment were advancing rapidly, with many theories and techniques being updated regularly.
They still had to work on a research paper about the impact of chakra on the meridian system and couldn't afford to spend time playing with a kid.
"It's fine, you go ahead. I'll catch up."
Nono Yakushi dismissed them, signaling them to leave.
The medical team, who respected Nono Yakushi greatly, exchanged looks and decided to leave her to deal with Shimizu.
"Come on, tell Big Sister what's on your mind."
True to her role as the future orphanage director, Nono Yakushi helped without expecting anything in return.
Nono Yakushi cared for children deeply, but she was much colder to adults, as the "Walk-in Priestess" had secretly eliminated many targets along her spy missions.
Shimizu took a deep breath and said, "I want to learn medical ninjutsu."
This was his real goal for the past few days.
He couldn't rely solely on the simulator, as it was all random.
He'd drawn good rewards twice, but could he guarantee that every time?
If he kept drawing bad rewards, would he be stuck in place?
Time wasn't on his side.
Shimizu understood the harsh reality of the world. As time passed, the events in Konoha would only escalate.
The Third Great Ninja War was just the beginning.
There would be the Nine-Tails attack, the Uchiha massacre, and Pein's destruction of Konoha, reducing everything to rubble.
Even if he survived these, he'd still face the Infinite Tsukuyomi.
Only someone like Sasuke, with the Six Tomoe Rinnegan, could unlock the complete Susanoo and avoid the Infinite Tsukuyomi, much like how the Six Paths Naruto survived by hiding within Susanoo.
