Naruto: The Abstract Strategist of the Akatsuki

Chapter 47 still didn't use Shadow Clone Technique.

"It failed."

Watching Bai Mo's figure disappear around the corner, Naruto and Konohamaru deactivated their transformation jutsu and leaned against each other dejectedly.

"At least there's a consolation prize. Konohamaru, come on, I'll treat you to ramen."

Naruto looked at the banknotes in his hand, and his mood returned to normal.

"Forget it, Naruto-nii-san, I'm going home for dinner."

Konohamaru, however, was not happy at all.

After all, he already had a lot of pocket money, so he didn't care about the little bit that Heitu gave them.

After parting ways with Konohamaru, Naruto took the money and prepared to treat himself to a deluxe ramen at Ichiraku Ramen.

Halfway there, I was stopped by someone.

"Young man, your ninjutsu just now has shown me your exceptional talent..."

Who are you?

Naruto, who was full of ramen, glared at the person who had stopped him.

"Good question. I am the legendary Sannin, the Toad Sage of Mount Myōboku—"

-

Bai Mo was unaware of Naruto and Jiraiya's premature encounter.

Of course, even if I knew, I wouldn't care.

He and Konan came to Konoha with only two main objectives.

One option is to re-absorb Orochimaru into the organization.

Another one is some of Konoha's "resources".

Besides that, there are allies, Kurotsuchi and Mei Terumi, who need to practice their skills in the Chunin Exams.

Kurotsuchi brought Shiramo and Terumi Mei to her residence.

As Kage, Kurotsuchi and Mei Terumi naturally have top-notch arrangements.

After entering the house, Heitu began to undress.

After taking off his upper body, leaving only his undershirt, Heitu took a bottle out of his pocket and tossed it to Baimo.

"You really want me to apply it?"

Bai Mo took the bottle, opened it, and smelled of herbs.

"Oh right, I remembered you know medical ninjutsu. Let's do it then."

Heitu misunderstood, turned around, took back the medicine bottle, and plopped down on the table, sticking his head out at Bai Mo.

"Medical ninjutsu?"

Mei Terumi looked at Bai Mo in surprise.

She had never seen Bai Mo make a move, and now that Kurotsuchi said this, she wondered if Bai Mo was a medical ninja.

"Yes, back then, the Seven-Tails Jinchuriki had his skin burned by the Tailed Beast's chakra, but he just touched it and it was fine."

This level of medical ninjutsu is many times better than even the best medical ninja in our Iwagakure village.

After Kurotsuchi finished speaking with Terumi Mei, she turned to look at Bai Mo in confusion, "What's wrong? Why aren't you moving?"

"I don't think I ever said I was a medical ninja, did I?"

Bai Mo smiled helplessly, took the medicine bottle back from Hei Tu's hand, poured out the ointment into his palm, patted it onto Hei Tu's waist, and began to apply it.

"what!"

Kurotsuchi trembled slightly after being patted by Bai Mo, but she didn't pay attention to Bai Mo's action. Instead, she asked curiously, "You're not a medical ninja? Then how did you treat the Seven-Tails Jinchuriki back then?"

"I only repaired Fu's body. If I had been there when you were injured, I could have restored you immediately, but that's not possible now."

As Bai Mo explained, he helped Heitu apply the medicine and then reached out his hand to Heitu.

"What?"

Heitu was still pondering what "repair" meant when he saw Bai Mo's actions, but he didn't react in time.

"A new, clean gauze bandage? Didn't you bring it with you?"

"Oh, yes, yes, it's over there. Could you please get it for me, Mizukage?"

Kurotsuchi pointed to a small bag she had left on the corner of the table, reached out, but couldn't reach it, so she had to ask Mei Terumi for help.

Mei Terumi got up, walked over, picked up the small bag, and handed it to Bai Mo.

After Bai Mo finished treating Hei Tu, Hei Tu put on his clothes and patted his waist: "This should be the last time I change the dressing. I'm almost healed."

After saying that, Kurotsuchi sighed, "If only our Iwagakure had a medical ninja like Tsunade."

As the pinnacle of medical ninjas in the ninja world, Tsunade not only possesses powerful support abilities, but more importantly, she has passed down her knowledge and skills.

The medical ninjutsu techniques that can be named are all quite difficult.

Healing Palm Technique is an A-rank ninjutsu that requires precise chakra control and is as difficult to learn as the Rasengan.

The remaining type, which simply emits green light from the hands, is used by ordinary medical teams and can only serve as an auxiliary measure such as stopping bleeding and prolonging life.

If medical ninjas could heal directly like priests in online games, then the major ninja villages wouldn't have hospitals at all.

Even with medical ninja treatment, injuries like those suffered by Kurotsuchi and Mei Terumi still require other forms of supplementary treatment.

"Your words have reminded me. What do you think about setting up an advanced ninja research academy?"

Bai Mo stroked his chin as he spoke.

"Advanced? Academy?"

Mei Terumi and Kurotsuchi exchanged a glance.

In the past, they would definitely have questioned the rationality of Bai Mo's idea.

But now they've all been...educated by Bai Mo.

The ninja village system and the ninja academy system were both learned from Konoha. Why can't they take the initiative to propose new systems for Konoha to learn from?

Just like the dual military and political system they are currently implementing, which Kumogakure is learning from in a similar way, Konoha will have to change sooner or later if it doesn't want to be left behind by the times.

"Tell me more about it."

Mei Terumi looked at Bai Mo expectantly, while half-unbuttoning her clothes to reveal the bandages wrapped around her shoulders and back. She took out a box of ointment and gestured for Bai Mo to apply it to her while she spoke.

Bai Mo unwrapped Mei Terumi's bandages and gauze, applying ointment while explaining:

"To put it bluntly, the current ninja academies are just to give kids who know nothing the most basic ninja skills and raise the upper limit of genin, but that's only for genin."

My vision of an advanced academy is to raise the bar for Jonin, or rather, geniuses.

After leaving the ninja academy, if a genin wants to improve their strength, they either need to train on their own, rely on the guidance of the jonin leading the team, or be lucky enough to find another teacher.

If you're unlucky, you can only keep learning the basics.

There's a saying: "A good horse is easy to find, but a discerning eye is rare."

If a genin with medical ninja talent follows a jonin who is skilled in fire ninjutsu, then, barring any unforeseen circumstances, their talent will be buried for quite some time.

Of course, his talent will eventually show.

But when you reach the Jonin stage, you'll get stuck again.

Just like Heitu said, at this point, there are some things that simply no one can teach you.

Let's think about it another way.

If we could invite Tsunade to be the instructor for medical ninjas.

She doesn't need to treat these students as disciples and impart all her knowledge to them. That would be better than the situations I mentioned above, right?

Whether it's a young genius whose talent is being overlooked, or a Jonin whose strength has been stagnant for a long time.

After saying all that, Bai Mo had already re-bandaged Terumi Mei's bandages and even helped her put her clothes back on.

"There are no problems between us. It's like the 'Economic Mutual Alliance' has expanded its scope. In addition to helping each other in economic development, it also includes mutual assistance in ninjutsu exchange."

But what about Konoha in the Land of Fire? They didn't join us. Would Tsunade, whom you speak of, choose to impart her knowledge to us, her enemies?

Mei Terumi raised a crucial question.
