Ninja Ice House

Chapter 545 Aftercare and Treatment

What would you think if someone suddenly told you that the world you live in is fake, that you are just daydreaming, and that you should wake up and face the real world?

Who would feel that their current life is a complete illusion for no reason?

My first reaction would definitely be that I've encountered a mentally ill or crazy person.

Was Jiraiya the kind of person who believed everything he was told?

Having experienced numerous ninja wars and faced life-or-death trials, such an experienced ninja is unlikely to be swayed by biased opinions.

On some harmless matters, Jiraiya may indeed act very casually, and there is even a dark history of him making mistakes because he fell for a "honey trap".

However, when it comes to truly important matters, or matters that cannot be wrong in principle, Jiraiya is never ambiguous. For example, pursuing his teammate Orochimaru in the hope that he would change his mind, searching for the "chosen one" to save the world and guiding him to grow and not go astray, and admiring Tsunade, etc. Which one did he persist in for decades without wavering?

How could a man who seems carefree but is actually mentally resolute and stubborn to the point of almost no room for compromise simply deny his "life" and make him realize that the world he lives in is an illusion?

Just thinking about all this gave Tsunade a headache. Even though she wasn't a medical ninja specializing in genjutsu, yin release, and mental techniques, common sense told her that it would be extremely difficult to accomplish this.

It's perfectly normal to ask for help when you can't handle something yourself.

If Kosugi Bokusui's asking price is too high, Konoha Village may not be able to afford it, or Tsunade may be reluctant to part with it. In that case, it would be best to find someone else or use a different method.

In fact, long-established families usually have a lot of strange and unusual information and secret technique files. The reason they don't use them much is because they are not practical, are relatively outdated, or there are better ninjutsu alternatives.

Within the flourishing system of chakra ninjutsu and extraordinary power, many secret techniques were modified and passed down as ninjutsu secrets.

For example, the Nara clan's Shadow Binding Technique is a set of family secret techniques that can be improved by combining mental curse magic and Yin Release.

The mountain tribe's spiritual arts are even more obvious. With so many remnants of divine servants and divine descent magic, they simply use the same tricks that ancient monks who served the gods liked to employ.

In that primitive era where gods and humans lived together, it's hard to say whether ghosts, such special and strange creatures, existed, but there were certainly similar things.

With even the art of spiritification, anything is possible.

In the past, the Daimyo and Furusugi collected many scrolls of unheard-of extraordinary power systems in order to suppress the influence of the ninja village. Some of them were very powerful and systematic, but most of them were just fragments of words whose authenticity was unknown.

Establishing a "Guardian Ninja" is certainly not a bad approach, but placing one's hopes on others is a bit unsettling. It would be ideal if worldly daimyo could also directly become stronger.

Furthermore, the treasure trove of secret techniques belonging to the Gusugi family is far richer than that of Konoha Village.

The reason for this phenomenon is not hard to understand. For the daimyo and the affiliated nobles, every piece of information represents direct control over powerful forces and the hope of suppressing the ninja villages. However, for the ninja villages, these so-called secret techniques are basically worthless and outdated.

One sees it as a possibility for a turnaround, while the other sees it as a pile of waste ore that is like "finding gold in the shit." The importance they recognize is not on the same level at all.

The Senju family has a vast collection of secret techniques, while the Kosugi family possesses even more bizarre and unusual items.

Tsunade wasn't particularly surprised that such a strange forbidden technique as "Snake Shedding Technique" existed; she was just a little puzzled. For Furusugi and the Daimyo, such a secret technique with few side effects but extraordinary power shouldn't have remained unknown.

Ordinary ninjas might not realize just how powerful this secret technique is, thinking it's just a healing technique with significant side effects.

Only medical ninjas who are experts in life and the body will understand that this thing is not actually a medical ninjutsu, but a kind of reconstruction technique from spirit to body.

Why do snakes shed their skin? It's certainly to remove the "dead skin" that has reached the end of its lifespan and is about to lose its vitality and resilience, so that its metabolism can replace it with a tenderer and more vibrant one. In essence, it's a breakthrough technique that breaks through constraints.

Life is long, and we will experience all sorts of things. Every little thing is both a treasure and a burden.

For example, Mizuki, a senior teacher in Konoha Village, was targeted by Orochimaru due to his eagerness for quick success and was implanted with an immature "Tiger Curse Seal". This thing was a half-finished product, and its power was not necessarily great, but the side effects were quite deadly.

If the "Tiger's Curse Seal" is used for a long time, it will not only change the ninja's physical and mental state, but also severely deplete his potential. In the end, due to opportunism, he will lose the possibility of continuing to climb to the top.

Sasuke Uchiha, who had been tormented by the "Curse of Heaven" for many years, was one of the "saviors" favored by the fate of the era. In the end, he was still tormented to the point of being neither human nor ghost. It was only through Itachi Uchiha's painstaking efforts that the threat of the curse was eliminated by using the Totsuka Blade.

If one possessed the "snake molting technique," one could remove and discard anything that had lost its positive effects and was now only a binding shackle or side effect, treating it all as "snake skin."

Letting go of the burdens of the past, or even just removing a part of them, is good enough. You can start afresh with a lighter load. The rest can be adjusted later; it's not a big deal.

In the treatment of Jiraiya, this secret technique also demonstrated the ability to activate the body's and mind's potential, guiding secondary growth.

Just like a potted plant, exposed to wind and sun, it may "grow crooked" for various reasons. The "snake molting technique" is like a well-timed heavy pruning, removing dead branches and leaves, as well as blind branches and buds that cannot produce fruit, reducing unnecessary consumption, and concentrating nutrients in the areas you want.

The so-called medical ninjutsu healing effect of the Snake Shedding Technique actually works by stimulating the nascent life force to regenerate and actively repair itself.

"If we had had this technique back then, Rope Tree, Broken Will, and the old man could probably have survived. What a pity!"

Jiraiya narrowly escaped death and survived; it was no easy feat for him.

As for the current problem, the truth is that Konoha Village obtained the special medicine, but they didn't spend money to buy the instructions and didn't know how to use it. They figured it out on their own, put together a plan, added things they were familiar with, mixed it together, and thought it wouldn't be a big problem, so they used it.

result……

The consequences of "not following medical advice" can be quite serious. Fortunately, Jiraiya's problem wasn't too serious; it was just a little troublesome and expensive to treat.
