Hokage: Ryo's Path

Chapter 42 - Healing Tag

Chapter 42: Healing Tag

What Ryo was working on was a Medical Tag, with the same principle as the explosive

tags.

While reading through Tsunade’s notes, he stumbled across the idea. If such a

convenient to carry medical jutsu was around, Konoha’s Shinobis should have a much

higher survival rate.

If it wasn’t for the subsequent deaths of Nawaki and Dan, Tsunade would have

probably completed making this tag.

In his past life, Ryo saw all types of Tags in several stories. One of the most intriguing

was the explosive tag he found in Naruto.

The explosive tag’s principle is sealing a high grade Fire Jutsu on a special sealing

paper in the form of Kanji. When released, it’s as powerful in impact as a real life re

Jutsu.

“Kid, you’re still working on your Fuinjutsu?” While Ryo couldn’t see any light, Jiraya

appeared.

He had just left the Hokage’s oce.

Recently, there were frequent actions by the Sand

Ninja that really annoyed the 3rd. So he planned on sending someone to inquire.

When it came to inquiring intelligence, Jiraya was the one trusted the most by the 3 .

He was the obvious choice for the mission.

He was intending on leaving the village immediately. While going through the 3

training ground, he heard Ryo. He scratched his head for a while and then came in to

check out what he was up to.

“Ah, hey Jiraya san! I wasn’t practicing Fuinjutsu, I was working on developing a new

technique.”

“Hmm it looks like you’re making a Healing Tag?”

“Jiraya San how did you know?”

“If you’re trying to do that, you still have time to give up kid. People have been trying to

pull this off for a really long time. How would you do it easily? Jiraya patted on Ryo’s

shoulder as he said that.

Hearing Jiraya, Ryo was surprised that the Tag was studied for so long without

success.

“Jiraya san, why did they all fail?” Now that he knew of older studies of the idea, Ryo

wanted to know exactly where they failed and maybe nd

a clue to pull it off himself.

Jiraya took a second to think then said: “Ah yeah! I remember Tsunade said that

Medical Jutsus couldn’t be stored for a long time.”

“What were their techniques used to seal it?”

“That I don’t know. You’re better off asking Tsunade or Orochimaru. This kind of Jutsus

was never my thing. Kid, don’t waste your time with this. Another war is on the way.

Work more on getting stronger!” after saying that, Jiraya went away.

Ryo was never the type to concede defeat so easily. He understood that the failure of

those who tried before him doesn’t mean that he will. Edison failed to invent light bulbs

more than 8,000 times and experimented with more than 7,600 kinds of materials.

(Translator note: 4 number I hear put on the number of Edison’s trials)

Ryo still failed several times.

In the following month, he experimented with various materials that could conduct

Chakra instead of paper and couldn’t nd

anyone suitable for sealing medical Jutsus.

“Kid, you haven’t given up yet?!” When he returned from his mission, Jiraya found out

that Ryo was still working on the Medical Tag.

th

“Jiraya San, you’re back!” Ryo was tired as Jiraya saluted him back.

“Kid, I asked Orochimaru about the material they used to seal medical Ninjutsu before

coming here. He said that they used Jade stones.” As he nished

his words, Jiraya

threw a Jade stone to Ryo.

“Jade?” This came as a great surprise to Ryo. He never expected this. All the years he

spent as a bookworm reading through novels didn’t give him a clue.

Ryo took the piece of Jade that Jiraya threw him. The Evil Sealing Method worked with

Jade as if it was esh.

And he was able to seal Healing in the stone.

Soon after, Ryo couldn’t feel the Healing chakra within the stone. Just like Jiraya

mentioned to him before, it was gradually dissipating from within it.

Medical ninjutsu is different from other types of Ninjutsu.

“Jiraya san, do you think that using natural energy could prevent this dissipation?”

Ryo was thinking of how Sage Mode made Hashirama’s wood release wilder and also

how it accelerated his recovery. Since all healing Jutsus were based on his recovery,

should using natural energy make medical Ninjutsu more stable?

“Well, I’m not sure. You can try it out kid!”

Ryo entered Sage Mode, and used [Healing and then sealed it within the jade stone.

This time, Ryo actually could feel the Medical Chakra being maintained within stone,

and he didn’t feel its levels drop at all.

“Jiraya san, check it out!” Ryo handed th

Jiraya nodded fast. This technique was of great importance to Konoha, and something

that the 3 should denitely

know about.

The success of such a technique means that Ryo doesn’t have to worry that a Konoha

ninja would be injured alone. However, this technique relies on the use of natural

energy, and the only two using Sage Mode in Konoha are Ryo and Jiraya.

Now, Ryo intends on returning to the Yamanaka household, to explain the Healing

Stone to Inoichi Yamanaka.
