Tsunade among the Konoha Sannin.

Chiba Shiraishi, the military leader of the Demon Country.

They are all ninjas who broke this norm.

While they are qualified as excellent medical ninjas, they also have superior combat capabilities to first-line ninjas.

It can be seen that the inherent perception that medical ninjas are weak can be broken.

Is it possible for Sakura to break this inherent perception?

Kakashi didn't know.

He is not a medical ninja, and he has no way of predicting it.

Because whether it is Tsunade or Shiraishi, even if their growth trajectories are shown intact, others will not be able to copy their achievements.

Everyone will break the shackles attached to them based on their own cognition. Everyone’s obsessions and reasons for becoming stronger are also various. All Kakashi can do is to be as good as possible.

It is my duty to guide the Jonin and use my best efforts to help Sakura grow up.

So, the question is, which one to choose?

The only two medical ninjas who broke the stereotype and were representative in the world are still alive today.

In addition, although there are ninjas who have both strength and medical ability, they are much inferior to the above two. As a fallback option, they are good.

Kakashi thought about it and didn't know which one would be better to start with.

There is no doubt that Shiraishi's abilities are more versatile and comprehensive, and the split soul clone can cope with various complex environments.

You can fight on land, in the sky, or on the sea.

But there are more things that need to be prepared. First, you must learn the improved S-level forbidden art of spiritual transformation.

The resources invested later are the biggest problem.

According to Shiraishi's explanation to him, the other party's training resources at that time, including research funds, were provided by the Uchiha clan.

With the support of such a wealthy family, there is no need to worry about training resources.

Alas, the importance of soft rice.

If it were Sakura, Kakashi would not be able to find another wealthy ninja who is as generous as the Uchiha clan.

As for the Hokage, it is impossible to provide such huge training resources for individuals.

In addition, Shiraishi's improved version of the spiritual transformation technique will also involve the mutation and division of the soul, which is a long training process. You must be prepared for a waiting period of ten years or even longer.

Therefore, even though he could get an improved version of the Spiritualization Technique from Shiraishi, Kakashi thought about it and put Shiraishi as his secondary choice.

Shiraishi's growth is inseparable from medical ninjutsu and soul secret techniques, but it is even more inseparable from the support of the wealthy and wealthy Uchiha family behind him. From a practical sense, the help provided by the latter may be greater than the former.

Then, there is only one choice.

Tsunade, one of the three ninjas.

The opponent's fighting ability comes from a technique collectively called "strange power".

It is said that it is the result of improvement based on the secret technique of the Senju clan.

But since it is not limited by blood inheritance, there is the possibility of duplication.

If that still doesn't work, it's not impossible to get a weakened version of the 'strange power'.

At least for Sakura at this stage, even a weakened version of the 'strange power' is enough to be used.

Relatively speaking, if you follow Tsunade's path, you won't be able to deal with various battle situations by splitting clones. But the advantage is that it is relatively simple to cultivate.

It doesn't take too long. As long as you can pass the minimum standard test, you can quickly get started and improve your strength in a short period of time... The most important thing is that the resource consumption will not be as terrible as Shiraishi.

You don’t need to find a financial backer, you can grow through your own efforts.

At least, Kakashi felt that by using his authority as ANBU minister, he could still barely afford to train Sakura who could practice 'weird power'.

"Then let's do it this way, start with strange power..."

After the decision was made, all that was left was to apply to the superiors.

◎

Deciding to put Sakura on the path of cultivating 'weird power', Kakashi headed towards the Hokage Building at nine o'clock the next morning to discuss the matter with the Third Hokage.

When I arrived at the Hokage's office, I saw Hiruzen, the Third Hokage, sitting there working. There was a lit tobacco stick next to him, which caused a faint smell of tobacco to fill the office in the early morning.

Kakashi is not too disgusted with the smoking behavior of ninjas, but he also knows that although smoking is not a forbidden habit for ninjas, it is not a good habit.

"Hokage-sama, good morning."

Kakashi greeted Hiruzen as soon as he arrived.

"It's Kakashi, are you here to apply for a mission so early today?"

Hiruzen was a little surprised to see Kakashi coming so early today.

Compared to other teams, Team 7 has completed more D-level missions, so Hiruzen will not cling to Team 7's mission management.

He usually does not assign D-level tasks to Class 7 in the morning. He will only assign D-level tasks to Class 7 after noon.

The rest of the time, they let Kakashi lead them in practice.

From Hiruzen's point of view, Naruto and Sasuke have accumulated enough experience in the field of D-level missions.

After a while, you can continue to let Team 7 perform C-level tasks to gain more experience.

If it was the previous year, Hiruzen might not have done this.

Because it is June now, and July is the time for the Chunin Examination.

But this year's situation is different. This year, several major powers will jointly hold the Chunin Examination, and the time will be postponed to mid-October, giving each village's ninja more time to prepare for the competition.

There are still more than four months of preparation time until mid-October, so there is no need to rush in time.

"Actually, I didn't come here so early because of the mission. Well, how should I put it..."

Kakashi scratched his head, looking like he was hesitant to speak.

"You don't have to be so outspoken. Just tell me if you have something to do. As the Hokage, I will also seriously consider your request."

Seeing Kakashi being so hesitant, Hiruzen also gave a rare smile, picked up the cigarette rod and took a puff, asking Kakashi to directly explain his purpose.

"Yes, let me speak frankly, Lord Hokage. Actually, the thing is like this, I have some new opinions about Haruno Sakura in the team..."

Kakashi explained Sakura's situation in front of Hiruzen in short and direct language.

After hearing this, Hiruzen nodded and understood what Kakashi meant.

To put it simply, Haruno Sakura, the only medical ninja in Team 7, lost a certain amount of self-confidence as a ninja in the team due to her perceived lack of strength, which was not conducive to psychological growth.

As a mentor, Kakashi hopes to help the other party.

The simplest and most effective way to help the other party is to improve her strength as a medical ninja.

"Generally speaking, villages do not value the strength of medical ninjas. The ratings of medical ninjas are now gradually improved, and the promotion system is slightly different from regular ninjas."

Hiruzen said this.

In the past, because no attention was paid to this aspect, Konoha did not formulate detailed promotion guidelines for medical ninjas.

Including the medical ninja administrative system, the level evaluation is still based on genin, chunin, and jounin.

But this is actually a very crude and crude rating system.

Because medical ninjas are not good at fighting, although genin, chunin, and jounin are administrative position titles, in many cases they are unnaturally linked to strength.

Using genin, chunin, and jounin for the administrative rating of medical ninja is actually a confusing and very imprecise evaluation.

Therefore, after high-level meeting discussions, the medical industry was reformed.

Let the medical ninjas use a promotion system. They will not be graded based on their strength, but will be graded based on their mastery of medical ninjutsu.

And this system is not only used in Konoha, but also in other ninja villages. Including the Kingdom of Demons, this brand-new system is also used. Not only is it easier to manage medical ninjas, but it also allows medical ninjas with excellent medical abilities to not

Because of strength issues, he cannot be reused.

"Yes, I have heard a little bit about this."

Kakashi nodded.

"That's good. But since Kakashi you raised this question, I have thought about it carefully. Maybe it is because of inconsideration. After all... Team 7 is a special team."

The applied promotion template is different. Hiruzen will not be so harsh as to evaluate a medical ninja using the combat ninja rating method.

But now that I think about it, since Kakashi made such a suggestion, it means that as Hokage, he has not considered the matter comprehensively.

As he said, Team 7 is a special group. The orphan of the Uchiha clan, the Nine-Tailed Jinchuuriki, cannot be viewed with inherent thinking.

Then, when dealing with Haruno Sakura's growth model, it is natural to jump out of the original framework and conduct new thinking.

"As you said, this is also the reason for the distress. Haruno Sakura is an excellent ninja, and I hope that Hokage-sama can focus on cultivating her. If possible, just transfer my part of the contribution to Haruno Sakura."

Kakashi nodded seriously.

According to the rules, even the Hokage cannot overstep his authority for personal gain before Haruno Sakura has made a contribution.
