Chapter 148: C115(2)
Having reached this scale is already quite impressive.
Moreover, Jōnin are not easy to cultivate. Every Jōnin needs approval from the Hokage personally. Only when they can stand alone in all aspects are they promoted to Jōnin. Considering the short development time Yakushi Nono has had, having seven Chūnin is already very impressive.
"Good job, Nono. For those who really don't have ninja talent, you could suggest they switch to civilian jobs in Konoha Village. Otherwise, they'll die in vain if they go to the battlefield."
Kain looked at the list, noting how detailed it was—recording hobbies, habits, and when they received funding. To have done this well, Nono already had the demeanor of a "wandering nun" from a few years later.
"Nono, your strength can be properly strengthened. You only have medical ninjutsu, and if you encounter an accident, you'll be very vulnerable. Sign this."
Kain took out a Summoning scroll, the solo Summoning scroll of Ichikishimahime. He intended to have Ichikishimahime help Yakushi Nono practice Sage Mode.
Without hesitation, Yakushi Nono signed her name on the Summoning scroll. After she did, Kain immediately used the Summoning Technique.
Boom.
A puff of smoke rose in the room, and once it dissipated, a petite girl appeared.
Yakushi Nono was slightly taken aback. Is the Summoning beast she just signed this girl?
"Ah la la, it took me so long to summon me? Is there no enemy this time?"
Ichikishimahime complained, then looked around the room. When she saw the Summoning scroll with an additional name on it, she added, "A new contractor? You summoned me for just this?"
Ichikishimahime hadn't finished her complaints when her petite nose twitched. She sniffed the air and noticed Kain cutting his finger. Blood flowed from the wound into a small cup.
Without the cover of the skin, the powerful and attractive life energy in the blood made Ichikishimahime long for it, and her stomach growled. Hashirama cells, phoenix and dragon blood—formed by three genes—was simply too wonderful for Ichikishimahime.
Kain said to Ichikishimahime: "Help Yakushi Nono learn Sage Mode and sage arts, and I'll give you some blood in the future."
"That's all? Don't waste it, don't treat it."
Seeing Yakushi Nono about to wipe the blood on Kain's hands with a tissue, Ichikishimahime flew over anxiously, snatched the cup with one hand, and shoved Kain's finger into her mouth with the other. She then took a deep breath.
Kain quickly pulled his hand away, no longer suppressing the Extremis virus with Chakra or magic, allowing the wound to heal instantly.
This person looks like a petite girl, but is actually a snake. Kain then said to Ichikishimahime with a serious expression:
"You are one of the three princesses of Ryūchi Cave, can you stop acting like a hungry ghost?"
Ichikishimahime didn't listen at all.
After Kain pulled his finger out of her mouth, she went to enjoy the blood in the cup, licking it clean after drinking.
Only then did Ichikishimahime say nonchalantly, "We're also snakes. When I become a real sage, you can talk about this again. Is she the one who wants to learn Sage Mode?"
Ichikishimahime drifted over to Yakushi Nono, sniffed her, and then looked disappointed. The new contractor didn't have the scent she expected, but was just an ordinary human.
"I see. When she wants to learn Sage Mode, just summon me. If it goes well, she can complete it in half a month."
Ichikishimahime said confidently. With the help of the three princesses, Ryūchi Cave's Sage Mode would be the fastest to learn in all of the Holy Lands—there was no doubt about it.
Then Kain sent Ichikishimahime back and introduced Ryūchi Cave's Sage Mode and senjutsu to Yakushi Nono.
"Don't be fooled by the snake just now; its strength is still formidable. If you have time, you can ask her to help you practice Sage Mode and Sage Arts. Once you succeed, your strength will be greatly improved."
"I see. I'm very grateful for all your help, Boss."
Yakushi Nono said gratefully. He had funded her to attend ninja School, helped her find Sannin as a teacher, and now was even helping her contact Ryūchi Cave, one of the Three Holy Places. This kindness was truly hard to repay.
Suddenly, Yakushi Nono remembered something. It wasn't very important, but worth considering.
"Boss, the medical class created by Tsunade-sama at the Ninja School has been quite effective. There are many students who are suitable to become medical ninjas. Should we recruit them?"
"Medical ninjas, how's their talent? Compared to you?"
"There are two people in the medical class who are very talented. One is Kato Shizune, but she's a relative of Kato Dan Jōnin, so there's no possibility of her joining us. The other is Nohara Rin, though—she can be absorbed. She comes from a civilian family, and her parents died in the war.
Nohara Rin is very talented in medical ninjutsu. If she's trained well, she should be no worse than me."
Kain looked over Nohara Rin's information, nodded to Yakushi Nono, and said, "If that's the case, let's give it a try. I trust your judgment. If she can be absorbed by us and has this talent, then we'll focus on training her."
A powerful medical ninja in the ninja world can always be transformed into a biological researcher. A powerful medical ninja must have a deep understanding of various organs, tissues, cells, and blood in the human body, which is valuable for cultivation.
