With a bunch of thoughts swirling in my mind, I arrived at the hospital, ready to put my medical skills to work.
I knew that to make sure most of my demand was to be Jonin, then mastering the Mystic Palm jutsu was crucial.
I had already been using this jutsu in my time in hospital, and the AI proved to be a simple path to master it. The vast amount of knowledge was directly sent into my brain with a sacrifice of a few chakras exhaustion.
Then, with abundant practice from the various shinobi injured in skirmishes, it is a piece of cake.
So, here I am, treating the patients. You can find all kinds of injuries here.
"AHHHHH."
For example, there is a young shinobi who had suffered from a severe third-degree burn.
[Genin no. 567The burn marks covered a substantial portion of the shinobi's arm, causing excruciating pain and tissue damage.
Probable cause: Explosive tag or Fire Ninjutsu
AI-generated master image]
Looking at the red, yellow and green marks in the generated image, I got to work. It shows my experience that I did not even flinch at the sight of a half-burned eye and charcoal-burned dick.
As for legs, I am sorry for this dude, but they no longer exist.
With a focused mind, I started the Mystic Palm jutsu, channelling my chakra through my hands. The Chakra flowed smoothly, enveloping my hands in a gentle, healing aura.
I began by gently placing my hands over the burnt area.
My fingertips contacted the scorched flesh, and I could feel the intense heat radiating from the injury. Yep, Chakra-induced burns to the mix. Fucking wonderful.
As I continued to apply the Mystic Palm jutsu, the yang energy started its work.
It began by cooling the burned tissue, soothing the agonizing pain.
"Oh,"
On scanning the tissues with the Mystic Palm, my AI sprang into action, providing real-time feedback. The AI's voice echoed in my mind, its prompt clear and concise.
[Chakra Burn found. Recommending treatment. Initial step: Apply Sox 9494 Herbal paste.]
Taking the AI's advice and using my experience, I adjusted my chakra flow to ease the patient's severe pain. The numbing effect worked, but then something unexpected happened with the paste.
The Mystic Palm technique offers more than just easing pain.
My chakra, guided by my medical skills, began using the paste's ingredients to heal the burnt skin.
The AI provided me with a map of the patient's burns: three areas needed treatment.
[2 cm deep on the palm,
1 cm on the tibia, and
2 cm on the scapula.]
With this info, I could focus my Mystic Palm jutsu more precisely.
The AI's detailed readings helped me treat each burn later accurately. As I applied more energy to the second layer of skin, the burns faded and healthy skin grew.
Minutes later, the patient's severe burns were reduced to mild ones, and the pain was gone. I removed my hands, knowing the rest would heal naturally.
With a smile, I told the patient, "You'll need some time to fully recover, but you should heal well. Follow the care instructions and come back if you notice anything unusual."
The patient thanked me gratefully, and I felt satisfied knowing I'd helped them.
I checked my progress: Mystic Palm jutsu was now at 49/1000. Mastering this technique would let me heal my muscles quickly after training, speeding up my growth and making it possible to become a chunin in a few years.
As I thought about my meeting with Orochimaru, I felt peaceful about helping people. A nurse called out, "Hey Kyudo, are you going to see your kid?"
I laughed and replied, "Haha! I'm only 7 and a half years old! But sure, I'm going."
"Yeah, but the kid's really attached to you."
I chuckled, "Got it. I'm going. See you later and good luck on your date tonight. Don't be late in the morning, Granny."
The nurse, a 40-year-old, choked on her tea as others looked over.
I walked into the room and saw a 5-year-old boy excitedly call out, "Kyudo-nee!"
I went to his bedside and asked, "Hi Yuta, how's your day?"
He replied, "It's fine, and the pain is much less today."
I always saved him for last because his condition was the most challenging.
I nodded and used Mystic Palm to send healing chakra throughout his body to both diagnose and treat him.
The leukemia was controlled, but the boy was severely undernourished and deficient in vitamins.
[Patient no.9494: Yuta Yamashiro
BMI: less than 10% of the required.
Tickets: 70% healed.
Xerophthalmia: Night Blindness
...]
The list went on and on. I could only say if it wasn't for chakra, his youthful body might have gone into shock any day.
I heard his father has been doing back-to-back missions to cover the cost of the treatment.
Well, there is a limit to the family allocated medic insurance for a chunin.
You will be surprised that for a Jonin, the benefits are much more. Even his family has the cost of treatment fully borne by the village. This is just in the hospital. According to some random Jonin who came for pizza, the benefits are much more in other fields.
I was broken from my thoughts by little Yuta, who said, "Big bro Kyudo, can you bring me another pizza to eat?"
I sighed and said, "The last time was a onetime thing. Your body can't be more stressed at this moment."
I saw that got him depressed. Sigh, he may eat nothing from today. Such is the treatment schedule. The alternative is a full-blown treatment that costs millions of Ryo and requires multiple Senior Medic Nin and Chakra specialists all covered with special chakra herbs.
So, I took my seat and said, "How about a story? Once upon a time, there lived two kids, each from the enemy clans..."
"...they didn't have each other's surnames..."
"... but fate had an original plan in mind..."
"... the day he awakened his clan Bloodline limit..."
"...with his brother's death, the conflict all but exploded..."
"... still, their childhood dreams won out, and a village was founded."
Under the curious gaze of the 5-year-old, I concluded my story.
"Those two kids were Senju Hashirama and Madara Uchiha."
After leaving the hospital, I went to the administrative office to get my medic-nin apprentice card.
I had been studying medicine at the hospital with Dr. Tanaka's help, but this card would officially recognize me as a medic-nin in the Leaf Village.
The card was very important, like the Konoha headband.
It gave me the same status and access as a genin, including to the Shinobi Library and medical facilities.
With this card, I could access useful information on Genjutsu victims, which would help me improve my Genjutsu skills. The AI would use this data to boost my training and speed up my progress.
I approached the administrative desk where a friendly receptionist greeted me. "Hello! How can I help you today?"
"I'm here to get my medic-nin apprentice card," I replied.
Recognizing my name, she smiled and said, "Dr. Tanaka spoke highly of you. I'll prepare your card."
After a brief wait, she handed me a small, laminated card with my name, photo, and the title "Medic-Nin Apprentice."
"Congratulations," she said.
I thanked her and put the card into my pouch.
The Shinobi Library was now open to me, offering vast knowledge and resources.
Even though the card only provided access at the genin level, it was sufficient for my needs.
As I continued my medical studies and training, two major pieces of news shook Konoha, which I had been expecting.
First news, war was looming.
Skirmishes along the borders had turned into a full-blown conflict. The Sand Village had announced that their third Kazekage was missing and blamed Konoha for the kidnapping. The Kazekage's gold release had been crucial for their economy, making this accusation serious, hence the blow out that lead to war.
Of course, shouts were gone from Konoha condemning that. But the evidence shown by Sand is Damning. The last location of Kazekage island of Rice where he fought with Sakuma Hatake.
Yep, Papa Hatake's last mission ended with a clash with the Kage. While the info was hush till now, in fact, it is still hush-hush with not even a hint of mission details being given. That is a given when given the thought Konoha is a shinobi village.
Still, with Sakumo's reputation in Sand and the circumstances, we have the third great Ninja war.
It's official- The World is at war.
The problem is that Konoha is the one at fault, according to most people. Well, the world is getting ready to feast on Konoha and the Land of Fire. Alliances with other villages were drawn with sand to get involved in a war with a legal cause.
Of course, the fragile alliance may not hold for the rest of the war, but this is enough to put Konoha in a dire state. Well, we have termination of contracts, price hikes etc from the civilian side led by various Daimyos. Even minor nations like grass, rice etc are boycotting Konoha.
The prospect of war where Konoha is alone, surrounded by the world, sent shivers down the spines of every citizen in Konoha.
War was no longer a distant threat but a harsh reality that had come knocking on everyone's doorstep with food hoarding, fear-mongering, etc.
Amidst the shadows of war, a ray of hope pierced through the darkness as the second piece of news to the downed citizens.
It was the announcement of Kakashi's promotion to chunin, and it sent ripples of excitement and safety through the shinobi forces of Konoha.
His promotion to chunin was more than just a personal achievement; it was a symbol of hope and reassurance. It signified that even in these trying times; the village was producing exceptional talent, and that there was still room for growth and progress.
I can already see the message- another S-rank shinobi that can win wars by themself, is about to rise.
But it wasn't just a message to Konoha; it was a message to our enemies as well. It served as a warning that Konoha's strength continued to grow, that there was shinobi within our ranks who could take on armies on their own even with the suicide of an S-rank. After all, Konoha never lacked S-ranks.
"Run, Run, Run, Run. Fucking Run bitches."
WHOOSH WHOOSH
I jumped to avoid the shurikens.
POOCH
Obito, who got stabbed, screamed out, "AH! "
All he got in response is, "Get up you bitch, otherwise you are fucked, " and a kick to the stomach that sent Obito rolling across the ground.
Obito's love interest stepped forward reprimanding, "Sensei, you are being rude."
Well, the appointed chunin screamed at her with spit flying out, "What? Do you expect the Iwa scum to hold your hands and nurse you up? Or the Kumo freaks from fucking you? Wake up, girl. You will be on the battlefield in a couple of years. So, shut the fuck up."
With that, he punched her in the stomach.
GASP
The news of war cast a shadow over the once familiar halls of the academy, transforming our training into a gruelling and relentless regimen.
The peaceful days of theory and lectures came to an abrupt halt as the urgency of the situation became apparent.
Instead, the focus shifted entirely to practical combat and chakra control, as we prepared ourselves for the inevitable moment when we, the students, would be thrust onto the battlefield.
The urgency in our instructors' voices was felt as they pushed us beyond our limits, knowing that time was not on our side.
The sparring sessions, once friendly and competitive, had transformed into brutal encounters.
The only condition was that we could not inflict fatal harm intentionally on our fellow students.
It was a simulated reminder of the harsh reality we will face–that in war, there were no rules, and survival was paramount.
As far as I know, other classes in the academy faced similar things. They were even worse. The entire student body was pushed to the point of exhaustion, both mentally and physically.
Even the hospital, where I had spent countless hours training as a medic-nin apprentice, was not immune to the effects of the impending war. The number of patients streaming in from the front lines had exploded. The war had not yet escalated to a full-scale conflict, but the opening skirmishes were taking their toll.
The medical staff worked tirelessly, often late into the night, to treat the wounded and provide whatever solace they could.
A positive view is that the tireless days spent treating patients in the hospital not only honed my skills in the Mystic Palm jutsu , but also introduced me to the world of delicate surgeries, chakra scalpel techniques, and poisons.
With each surgery, my chakra control improved a side effect of the precision required to perform intricate medical procedures.
As months flew by, I achieved mastery over the Tree Walking Exercise, allowing me to defy gravity and move effortlessly on vertical surfaces.
With that milestone achieved, I began my training in the Water Walking Exercise, further refining my chakra control to stay atop the water's surface.
Still, overall, my initial plans for strength worked out
With my progress in the Mystic Palm Jutsu, I now possessed the ability to not only heal but also actively shape and manipulate tissues. This newfound control allowed me to use the jutsu for more than just mending injuries. For example, I could finally use them for their main purpose- to digest chakra pills faster, enhancing their effects.
I could now directly influence muscle growth, something I previously just supported with chakra. Instead of merely aiding the body's natural healing, I could actively command the tissues to adapt and strengthen more efficiently.
So, my goal was accomplished, and I leapt through the strength levels with them
Guy and I pushed ourselves to train with weights, strapping 10 kg to each limb and adding a 50 kg vest for the torso. It was not crippling only because of our Genin-level physique. It is now official that I and the guy surpass the others in Taijutsu.
In Taijutsu, I progressed to the Advanced Konoha Taijutsu level.
Unlike the intermediate stage, where the focus was on Chakra augmentation, the advanced stage of Taijutsu had me incorporating jutsu seamlessly into my combat forms, creating a deadly combination.
