Chapter 75
[Check this fic: Pokémon: Master of the Rain Team]
A few more days passed, and both Rone and Megumi had fully mastered tree climbing and water walking.
Even on rough, rushing rivers, the two could now run freely across the surface. Their chakra control had clearly taken a big step forward.
And the benefits were obvious—future learning of ninjutsu would be twice as effective with half the effort.
The two of them were thrilled by their growth and eager to learn even more.
After discussing with Aoba, Natsuki made a decision.
"Megumi, since your chakra nature is water, I'll teach you some Suiton (Water Release) techniques, and also two techniques from Rokushiki: Geppō (Moon Step) and Rankyaku (Storm Leg). That should be enough for you to reach chūnin level. Also, since girls tend to be more meticulous with chakra control, I recommend you learn Iryō Ninjutsu (Medical Ninjutsu)."
"Medical ninjutsu...?"
Megumi was naturally excited about learning Suiton, but she seemed unsure about the suggestion to study medical ninjutsu.
While it was true that precise chakra control made it easier to learn medical ninjutsu, that didn't mean she had to learn it, right?
Seeing her hesitation, Natsuki decided to persuade her. "Actually, having a medical-nin in a squad was once a recommendation by Tsunade-sama herself. But after she left the village, it kind of got shelved. That said, wartime data shows that teams with a medical-nin have a much higher survival rate."
That got Megumi's attention.
