Chapter 147 I said I'd call it Rasengan and Forced Retention
"Damn it!" Yang Ping and Xu blurted out a curse.
Saori covered her mouth in surprise.
Even with his Byakugan activated, Hiyori was trying to see what had just happened.
Only Minato seemed to suddenly understand, clapping his hands happily, "So that's how it is! So that's how it is! Taichi, you're so smart!"
As he spoke, he extended his right hand and began to gather chakra.
The first part went smoothly, with a ball of chakra condensing in his palm. But as Minato began to control the flow of chakra within it, the difficulty began to emerge.
The round chakra ball began to twist wildly, as if it would explode at any moment, but it slowly returned to calm under Minato's control.
This doesn't mean that Minato's chakra control reached the level of Taiichi. Minato's mental strength was also high enough, and it was with the support of his mental strength that he achieved the effect of Taiichi's chakra control.
After a long while, with Minato's continued attempts, the chakra ball in his palm finally stabilized, and the pale blue chakra ball emitted a deep hum.
Everyone stared at Minato, watching to see how effective his technique would be.
Minato didn't disappoint everyone; he found a similar big tree and slammed it down on it.
"Swoosh!" The sound of the chakra ball piercing through the tree!
"Bang!" The sound of a large tree exploding into powder!
"We did it!" Saori exclaimed, and everyone gathered around to congratulate Minato.
Minato was also very happy, but he knew who was really behind it all. "Taichi, thank you so much! If it weren't for you, this ninjutsu wouldn't have been completed so quickly!"
"Senior Brother Minato, you're too modest. You've already pretty much mastered this technique; you just lack a little inspiration for the rest!"
Taiyi remained humble, not taking any credit. He genuinely hadn't expected to succeed so quickly; it seemed he had underestimated the importance of Chakra Control Level 11.
Minato no longer refused. He would remember this kindness in his heart. Besides, they were all fellow disciples, so he wouldn't hold it against them.
"Taiichi, why don't you name this move? Make it something cool, awesome, and mind-blowing!" Minato suggested. "Look, how about 'Super Cool Spinning Light Wheel Taiichi Enlightenment Ball'?"
An awkward silence fell over the room as everyone wondered what a strange name it was.
Taiyi is even more so; how come there are two Taiyi in his name!
To prevent Minato, the naming genius, from coming up with any more outrageous names, Taichi decisively provided the answer.
"Rasengan!"
"What?" Minato didn't react for a moment.
"I said it'll be called—Rasengan!"
"Okay, okay!" The others chimed in, saying it was much more reliable than that super cool spinning Taiichi Enlightenment, and besides, the name Rasengan was indeed quite good.
Thus, the world where only Minato was injured was achieved.
At this moment, he was still muttering to himself: What's wrong with the dazzling rotating Taiyi Enlightenment Pill? I think it sounds great!
After the jokes ended, everyone sat down and chatted again, but this time the conversation revolved around ninjutsu, focusing on questions and problems they encountered in daily life.
Fortunately, there were Jonin masters like Minato and Hizashi here, and they were happy to answer the questions of their juniors!
The next day, after the entire squad had rested sufficiently, they set off again for the front-line camp.
The team didn't reach their destination until noon!
After a thorough identity check, Taiichi and his group finally met Orochimaru, the commander-in-chief of the area.
Orochimaru had actually arrived at the camp only two days earlier than them, and he was extremely busy as he had just taken over the camp.
Previously, the situation at the Konoha camp was not very good. The previous camp commander was just a senior ninja with sufficient experience, but he did not have much leadership ability.
This is of course not a problem in peacetime; he just needs to manage and assign tasks step by step.
But things are different now. His lack of ability has led to chaos in the management of a large frontline camp. Soldiers often don't know their generals, and generals don't know their soldiers. Everything is in disarray until Orochimaru arrives, at which point the situation improves.
Playing with the defense map in his hand, Orochimaru looked at the group of people in front of him, his eyes revealing an undisguised desire.
Minato Namikaze and Hizashi Hyuga, needless to say, were already elite Jonin in the village.
He had heard of the reputation of Taichi's team on the southern border, especially Matsushita Taichi. How come he hadn't realized he was such a genius back then!
"Minato, now that your team is here, why don't you stay a little longer? We're short-handed here anyway," Orochimaru said bluntly.
"This—Lord Orochimaru, we still need to return to the village to report. You see—" Minato hesitated, after all, they had not received any mission to support the northern camp.
"Your mission ended the moment the defense map was delivered to me!" Orochimaru decisively interrupted Minato. "Besides, you don't need to stay too long. I will issue your mission according to the normal procedure."
Hearing Orochimaru say this, Minato knew he couldn't refuse anymore. He looked at Hizashi and Taichi and, seeing that they didn't object, nodded in agreement.
Orochimaru was delighted to see this and immediately began assigning tasks to everyone.
Minato and Hizashi, as Jonin, were directly dispatched to the front lines to sabotage the Hidden Cloud Village's logistics and supplies.
Yangping, Saori, and Xu were formed into a small team and sent out to patrol the border.
Taichi, however, was left behind by Orochimaru and sent to the medical camp in the rear to treat the wounded.
In Orochimaru's own words, "The front line does not lack a Jonin fighter, but the rear urgently needs an excellent medical ninja."
It turns out that, due to the inaction of the previous commander, most of the medical ninjas dispatched by Konoha were assigned to the southern Sunagakure front, which led to a shortage of medical personnel on the northern Kumogakure front.
This can be seen from the fact that Taiichi was personally led into the medical camp by Orochimaru.
"See that, Taichi? Isn't your ability needed even more here?" Orochimaru's tone was cold, but his words warmed the hearts of the wounded before him.
Taiyi was shocked by what he saw. It was not yet a formal war, but only some local conflicts before the war, but the wounded had already filled the entire medical camp.
Many of the relatively minor injuries were simply bandaged and then removed from the camp to make room for the more seriously injured.
"Lord Orochimaru, how—how could this happen? Konoha's medical system—shouldn't be this incompetent!" Taichi's voice trembled; this was utterly disregard for human life.
"An incompetent general can lead to the downfall of an entire army." Orochimaru sighed. "The last commander, who gave reckless orders and concealed the true situation of the camp, has already been sent back to Konoha."
"Damn it, that's infuriating!" Taiyi cursed. "Which bastard did this? How could the higher-ups let someone like that be a commander?"
Orochimaru watched Taiichi cursing with great interest, until Taiichi wondered if he had done something wrong, before finally uttering a casual remark.
"He is a veteran Jonin of the Sarutobi clan, a figure from the same era as the Third Hokage."
Taiyi fell silent for a moment, not because he was afraid of anything, but because he felt mentally exhausted.
Without further ado, he created two shadow clones and they headed towards the medical camp together.
Many of the medical ninjas in the camp had worked at Konoha Hospital and knew Taiichi.
Upon seeing his arrival, they all showed expressions of surprise and delight.
Seeing Orochimaru following behind Taiichi, they naturally knew that Orochimaru had brought them reinforcements.
"Taiyi, you've come to the front lines too!"
"Taiyi, with you here, things will be much easier for us!"
Many medical ninjas greeted Taichi, and Taichi politely responded to each one.
Orochimaru then realized that Taichi had already gained a reputation within Konoha's medical system that was completely disproportionate to his age.
At this moment, Taiyi's shadow clone walked towards the lightly wounded, his hand shining with the light of the Palm Immortal Technique. The entire process from examination to treatment for each wounded person could often be completed in just a few minutes.
Orochimaru, who was following along, quickly observed that Taiichi's medical ninjutsu was on par with Tsunade's, and in terms of healing effectiveness alone, it even surpassed Tsunade's level.
Orochimaru's eyes revealed unprecedented excitement, as if he had spotted a delicious prey and was eager to swallow it whole.
Taiichi's true form arrived at a seriously injured person's location. The medical ninja who was examining the injured person immediately made way for Taiichi's arrival.
Taiichi condensed chakra scalpel in his hand, and with a casual wave, he cut open the injured person's clothes. The nurse next to him immediately helped to clean up the patient's clothes.
Upon seeing a tree-shaped, radiating burn on the patient's left chest near the heart, Taiyi immediately gathered chakra and probed the patient's chest.
Sure enough, ventricular fibrillation had occurred; if it had been delayed any longer, he would probably have died soon. Taiyi acted decisively, scanning the area and finding no professional equipment, he immediately prepared to take matters into his own hands.
A bright green light shone from his left hand as he pressed it against the patient's abdomen to maintain his life. The intense life energy was so strong that even Orochimaru, who was standing behind him, could feel it.
With his right hand hovering above the patient's heart, sensing the heartbeat, Taiyi suddenly clenched his right hand, and a flash of lightning struck the patient's heart.
The patient shuddered, but the heart rate monitor showed that his heartbeat had returned to normal. With the most critical crisis resolved, all that remained was basic internal and external burn treatment, which wasn't too difficult for a medical ninja skilled in Healing Techniques.
Watching Taichi treat the patient methodically, Orochimaru suppressed his shock and left the medical camp.
What a terrifying brat! He can use two chakra natures simultaneously and has such precise timing and accuracy. Even he couldn't do that.
Is this what it means to have completely inherited Tsunade's skills? That's utter nonsense! This is already surpassing her! Sarutobi-sensei's information is ridiculously outdated!
Orochimaru returned to his tent, deeply shocked. He still had many matters to attend to, and he wouldn't have made this trip if it weren't for the importance of the medical camp.
But it was this observation that made him realize how precious Taiyi was. Regardless of his actual strength, his medical skills alone were more valuable than two more Jonin.
At this moment, Orochimaru was already pondering what methods he could use to keep Taichi at the camp. Conventional methods were definitely out of the question, he didn't have much of a relationship with Taichi, and he couldn't compete with Jiraiya. Thinking about it was truly a headache—
Looking down at the numerous documents that needed approval and the tasks awaiting assignment, Orochimaru sighed helplessly. He decided to deal with the immediate matters first.
The large northern camp shouldn't have changed much with the addition of six ninjas, but if four of these six ninjas...
If someone has the strength of a Jonin, then the situation is different.
Many of the backlog of difficult tasks have been resolved, and the wounded in the medical camp are gradually recovering and returning to work.
This freed up even more manpower, and everything in the camp was developing in a positive direction.
On the third day after the team arrived at the camp, Taiyi finally left the medical camp. After three days of intensive treatment, the overcrowded medical camp was finally relieved and was no longer in a state of being full of wounded people when they first arrived.
After three days of treatment, Taiyi established his own prestige. Although he did not hold any official position, everyone who met him would respectfully address him as "Lord Taiyi".
That day, Taiichi arrived at Orochimaru's tent with a long list in his hand. After greeting him, he handed over the tent.
"Lord Orochimaru, these are medical equipment that the medical camp currently lacks. With them, even ordinary people with simple training can perform basic emergency rescue. Please request these supplies from the village."
Orochimaru glanced at the list, which contained medical devices, totaling over a hundred different items in varying quantities.
"So much?" Orochimaru's lips curled into a sneer, then he answered without hesitation, "Alright, since it was you who suggested it, Taichi, then there's definitely no problem. I'll ask the village for these supplies and try to send them with the next supply shipment!"
Taiyi opened his mouth slightly, but swallowed back what he was about to say. He was worried that there were too many supplies and Orochimaru wouldn't be able to handle them all at once, so he specially arranged the required supplies according to their importance.
Taichi was genuinely touched that Orochimaru agreed so readily, realizing that Orochimaru truly possessed a unique personal charm.
No wonder so many people followed Orochimaru even after he defected in the original story.
Seeing that Orochimaru was so easy to talk to, Taichi pressed on and brought up the second thing he had come for.
"Lord Orochimaru, the medical camp is now running smoothly, and I would like to rejoin my squad to carry out some missions together."
Orochimaru raised his head in surprise upon hearing this. To be honest, he didn't want Taichi to go out. What if something happened to such a valuable talent?
However, considering Taichi's identity and his legendary strength, which was said to be no less than medical ninjutsu, Orochimaru agreed.
"Okay, Taichi, but if there's anything else they need help with at the medical camp, you absolutely must go there." Orochimaru added a clarification to his statement.
With Orochimaru's approval, Taichi didn't linger and excitedly went to find his team. He had made an appointment with Yangping and the others yesterday to carry out the mission together today.
Inside the tent, Orochimaru pulled out the mission logs of Taichi's squad from the past two days, a faint smile playing on his lips.
"That's really impressive. A Chunin squad, not only is the captain incredibly strong, but the members are all quite capable as well. I just wonder if our teacher knows about this?"
The Uchiha ninja who has awakened the three tomoe and Saori Furukawa who is skilled in sealing techniques are both talented individuals.
How could such a small team be paired with someone like He Fengxu? Having someone like her in such a team is simply dragging down the team's overall level.
Then, find the report from the previous pursuit mission that Minato submitted earlier; Kazeko's performance was simply terrible.
A familiar atmosphere of conspiracy lingered in the air. Orochimaru raised an eyebrow, and a low, soft laugh echoed from the empty tent.
