Chapter 79 Origin, Counterattack
"The Mighty Green Miracle" — that title sounds really ominous.
Xingyuan Qianshuo couldn't help but complain in his heart.
"Is it meant to be paired with Minato's yellow flash?"
Despite his complaints, he still turned his attention to the system rewards, a surge of joy rising in his heart.
The "Origin Scroll" has appeared in the rewards for the first time, and just by looking at the name, you know it's extraordinary.
Open your inventory; you'll find a purple scroll and a gold scroll.
The system never provides explanations for the rewards it distributes, so Xingyuan Qianshuo can only speculate from the words: "Origin Scroll" is probably about tracing the origins of existing skills.
According to the setting of "Boruto", ninjutsu is the process of condensing chakra through hand seals to reproduce the phenomena produced by "divine techniques".
Therefore, theoretically, the origin of ninjutsu is very likely divine arts.
Similarly, sealing techniques, immortal arts, and even bloodlines should each have their own origins.
Although I'm not sure if my understanding is entirely correct, it seems difficult to find any other explanation.
He turned to his personal panel, pondering which skill he should use the Origin Scroll on.
Just then, all the skills on the panel suddenly turned gray, except for "Palm Immortal Technique" which remained lit up.
"Does that mean it can only be used on Healing Palm Technique?" Hoshino Senjutsu wondered. "Is it because this reward comes from healing the wounded, so it's limited to medical ninjutsu?"
"But isn't chakra scalpel a form of medical ninjutsu? Or is it essentially just a transformation of chakra, without any real origin?"
He carefully compared the differences between the Palm Immortal Technique and other skills, and gradually came up with a possibility.
Putting aside his doubts for the moment, he decided to use the "perfect roll" first.
After eliminating various skills that were inconvenient to use openly, Xingyuan Qianshuo ultimately chose to use it on the "Shadow Clone Technique".
As the most frequently used ninjutsu besides medical ninjutsu, shadow clones are effective in both daily life and battle.
Unfortunately, apart from the Yin Seal, he currently has no S-rank skills. Otherwise, he wouldn't hesitate to use them directly on his S-rank skills.
As for the idea of keeping the scroll for the time being, he gave up after only a brief thought.
Since the reel will still be available in the future, and we need it now, we might as well use it now.
With a slight thought, the golden scroll quietly disappeared.
A flood of experience regarding the cultivation and application of shadow clones rushed into his mind, as if he had honed the technique countless times.
Then, he looked at his personal panel again and meditated on "Origin Scroll".
Sure enough, the skills that lit up on the panel changed to two: Palm Immortal Technique and Shadow Clone Technique.
It seems that using the Origin Scroll requires two conditions: first, the skill proficiency must reach the "perfect" level; second, the skill itself must have a traceable "origin".
After weighing the options between the Palm Immortal Technique and the Shadow Clone Technique for a moment, Xingyuan Qianshuo finally decided to use the Palm Immortal Technique.
Although he was equally curious about the origins of the Shadow Clone Technique, the Palm Healing Technique was more important to him.
After all, it is the core of medical ninjutsu, and the system rewards depend on medical work.
With another thought, the purple scroll vanished.
A subtle and profound power quietly descended.
He felt as if he had undergone a gentle baptism from body to soul, a cleansing, warming, and vibrant experience.
The feeling was so intoxicating that he almost wanted to stay immersed in it forever.
Unfortunately, it ended in just a few moments.
Upon opening the personal panel, it was observed that the proficiency level of the Palm Immortal Technique had increased by over 20,000 points.
Continuing to look down, a new line of text appears in the panel:
[Origin: Yang Power 32%]
"As expected, it's Yang power—only 32%?" Xingyuan Qianshuo thought to himself.
"If it is indeed the power of Yang, then the proficiency of some related skills should also increase."
He examined the other skills again and indeed found that the proficiency of the Regeneration Technique, Yin Healing and Destruction Technique, and Partial Expansion Technique had each increased by about 5000 points, while the proficiency of the Medical Water Escape Technique had increased by about 3000 points.
He stopped checking the system, formed a hand seal, and a bright green light emerged from his palms.
The green light was gentler than ever before, filled with warmth and vitality, just as he had felt from the depths of his soul.
Xingyuan Qianshuo had no doubt that the healing effect of the Palm Immortal Technique would be two to three times that of before.
His affinity for Yang-attribute chakra probably surpasses that of Tsunade, and even all the medical ninjas from the major ninja villages.
Thinking of this, he stopped his palm strike and opened the system task panel:
Main Quest 1: Become the strongest medical ninja in the ninja world. Rewards unknown, progress 38%.
"38% — the progress is smaller than expected." Xingyuan Qianshuo pondered silently, "Never mind that for now."
He then extracted the last 5000 chakra reward points, his cells were full of vitality, but he felt an empty hunger in his stomach.
I was busy all afternoon and only had military rations to fill my stomach. Now that I have some free time, I realize I'm starving.
He left the tent and headed towards the camp's cooking area.
Seeing that there was also a heated and kept-warm tomato and beef brisket rice, I didn't pick and choose and started eating.
While eating, I extracted various proficiency rewards that I hadn't looked at in detail before. These experiences and memories were integrated into my mind, serving as a perfect "side dish" for eating.
Just as Hoshino was enjoying his meal, Konoha's elite Jonin gathered in the command tent.
Team Jiraiya consists of Minato, Tokai, and Maki Kida, along with elite Jonin Kenki Akimichi, Hideki Nara, Satoshi Yamanaka, Seiran Shirakumo, and Shinku Yuhi.
Jiraiya solemnly surveyed everyone and said in a deep voice, "Shinku-senpai, I'm once again entrusting the camp to you."
"Yes." Kurenai Yuhi nodded, her gaze steady. "I wish you all the best and a triumphant return."
Jiraiya nodded and turned to Minato: "Minato, let's go."
"Yes, Jiraiya-sensei," Minato replied, his eyes sharp as ever.
The next moment, Minato's chakra connected with the seven people inside the tent, and their figures vanished instantly.
In a dark and quiet forest, the eight people appeared and then disappeared again.
Minato led his team to perform the Flying Thunder God Technique five times in a row, finally arriving at a certain place within the Land of Grass.
After the teleportation ended, Minato's forehead was covered in sweat, and he was panting heavily.
"Minato, are you alright?" Jiraiya asked with concern, reaching out to gently pat his shoulder.
"It's alright, I just need a short rest." Minato waved his hand, his breathing gradually becoming steady.
This place is not far from the Hidden Rock Camp, and there is a high possibility that there are enemy patrols.
Instead of resting, Shuimen bent down to touch the ground, closed his eyes, and focused his mind for a moment.
"It's safe. There are no Iwa ninja nearby." He looked up, his tone certain.
"Let's stay here a little longer. Your Flying Thunder God Technique is crucial to this operation, so we must ensure you have enough chakra."
As Jiraiya spoke, he suddenly recalled how the Jonin had replenished Hoshino Senju's chakra that afternoon, and added, "If we each lend you some chakra, it should help you recover faster."
"Alright then." Minato did not refuse and accepted it readily.
The raid on the Iwagakure logistics camp was a tactic that Jiraiya had planned in advance, but he did not expect that the Iwagakure troops would launch the attack first.
Fortunately, the Konoha camp was held.
Jiraiya had to admit that Xingyuan Qianshuo had made a great contribution this time. If it weren't for him leading the medical team to treat the wounded in time and repelling an elite force from Iwagakure, Konoha would probably have suffered heavy losses.
He has confirmed that the Iwagakure Jonin killed by Hoshinogen Chisaku was "Kari," an elite Jonin with the Explosion Release Kekkei Genkai.
Xingyuan Qianshuo was able to kill him with a Rasengan, so his strength should not be underestimated.
The sun had already set, and a magnificent sunset spread across the sky, its crimson glow enveloping heaven and earth, casting a touch of melancholy.
The eight men didn't say much, taking turns replenishing Minato's chakra before each sitting quietly to regulate their breathing.
The fact that an eight-man team raided a camp of a thousand men was somewhat tragic.
However, this is precisely where Konoha's greatest advantage lies – Minato's Flying Thunder God Technique.
They did not seek to annihilate the entire Iwagakure camp, but only to send the clearest warning to Iwagakure through this casualty:
Invading the Land of Fire will bring no benefit, only casualties!
After resting for about twenty minutes, Minato got up, his eyes now clear.
Jiraiya called everyone together and once again used the Flying Thunder God Technique to teleport away.
The next moment, the eight people appeared in a hidden place.
Looking up, the Hidden Rock Camp was already in sight.
Thanks to Minato's prior reconnaissance and marking, they had easily bypassed most of Iwagakure's security forces, but they could only reach this place. Subsequent actions would need to be replanned.
Minato and Yamanaka Satoshi simultaneously activated their senses and confirmed that there were no enemies nearby.
Water Gate's perception range extends further, now covering the Rock Hidden Camp—the camp's size remains around a thousand people, unchanged from the afternoon's reconnaissance.
After confirming that the surroundings were safe, Jiraiya skillfully took out a long telescope and began to carefully observe the layout of the Iwagakure camp.
