Chapter 8:- Medical Ninjutsu
-------------------
Natsuki sat in the quiet, well-lit medical training room, surrounded by a few other students. Medical ninjutsu wasn't something that many aspired to learn—it required precision, patience, and a steady hand, skills that not everyone possessed or valued. But for Natsuki, it was essential, and he understood the power and utility that this training could bring him in the world of shinobi.
Plus, He was a doctor in his previous life, and he was curious how he would develop his Medical Skills Further by Using the Knowledge That This World Provides.
Across from him, Sensei Takeda, a skilled medic-nin with years of field experience, observed the class with her usual calm expression. She was known for being strict but fair, emphasizing that every technique they learned here could mean the difference between life and death.
"Today," Sensei Takeda began, "we'll practice Chakra Scalpel, a fundamental skill in medical ninjutsu. It allows you to make precise internal incisions without damaging the skin. It's invaluable on the battlefield to avoid extensive injuries—or to handle delicate surgeries without conventional tools."
Takeda's eyes landed on Natsuki, noticing his intense focus. She had observed him before, working harder than most of her students, and it was clear he wasn't here for shallow reasons.
"First, concentrate chakra into your hand," she instructed. "But remember, the challenge lies in keeping it both sharp and steady. Too much, and you'll harm the tissue; too little, and it won't cut at all."
Natsuki nodded, carefully raising his right hand. He closed his eyes, mentally cycling through the knowledge he had gained from reading and his understanding of chakra control. His hand began to glow faintly as he visualized his chakra forming into a precise, controlled blade.
He hovered his hand over the practice dummy—a soft, layered training tool designed to mimic human tissue. As he focused, he felt the chakra forming into a small, concentrated edge at the tips of his fingers. He adjusted, trying to maintain a steady flow, and lowered his hand, attempting his first incision.
It was imperfect—his cut was shallow and a bit shaky. But Takeda nodded, Content with what he had shown. "Good start. You'll find that control is key. Let's see if you can deepen your cut without breaking focus."
Natsuki tried again, breathing deeply to remain calm and focused. He guided the chakra more carefully this time, balancing strength with finesse. The blade was sharper, and his cut cleaner.
Takeda smiled slightly, her approval evident. "Impressive, Natsuki. It takes practice to master the Chakra Scalpel, but you're on the right path. This technique might be invaluable for you one day."
After the session, Miss Takeda gave All the students a scroll-
As Natsuki Opened The medical scroll, It contained several comments and insights from medical ninjas, which would save Natsuki from taking many detours If he tried to Practice The skill by himself.
While Natsuki has extensive Knowledge about Human Body Due to His Past Experience As A Doctor, he Knows What To Do. But, With The Inclusion Of Chakra which removes all the equipment that WERE necessary before are useless now. All Natsuki has to do is Learn Medical Ninjutsu.
As Takeda dismissed the students, she stopped Natsuki as he prepared to leave.
"You seem to understand the importance of control in medical ninjutsu, Natsuki," she said. "If you keep this up, I might have you try Healing Hands soon. But remember, these skills aren't just about power or talent. They're about purpose—and compassion."
Natsuki nodded thoughtfully. "Thank you, Sensei," he replied, bowing respectfully.
As he walked away, thinking to himself. While the only reason he is learning Medical Ninjutsu is because of his curiosity with the subject thanks to his previous life, He Knows He is Not gonna be using it due to Compassion or something.
But, It was a skill he was determined to master.
--------------------------------------
After The Mandatory Extra Lesson, The School ended. and Natsuki, knowing his commitments, decided to invite both Ayane and Ruri to join him In Training.
He Promised To Help Ayane Get Stronger as much as possible,and Given Ruri's expertise and keen insight into advanced techniques, he thought having her along would enhance the session, especially for the sparring part.
"Ayane?" Ruri Looks towards Ayane in Surprise, while Ayane Looks the same. so, I decided to fill in the missing Context. Ruri's expression turns from Surprise to Understanding, And I Note she seems to be a little eager for today's sessions. Ayane Though.....Pouts?
"You guys seriously had Personal Training sessions, and didn't invite me? Am I Not your Friend?" She especially Looks at me, and I try to answer. but only one thing comes to mind-
"Ayane forced me into this, blame her!" I point towards Ruri, immediately throwing her under the bus, which makes both Ayane and Ruri look towards me, their expression dead-pan.
"Alright," he began, addressing them both, trying to move on from this Awkward Conversation. "I thought we'd start with some sparring and move on to chakra control. Ruri, if you could, give some comments that you feel would help us. Ayane, don't hold back.."
Natsuki stepped back to watch. He wanted to analyze Ayane's approach and Ruri's defense before it was his turn.
Ayane Nodded and took her stance, a look of fierce concentration And Determination in her eyes. She knew this was a test to her skills, and she intends to use everything she got. Ruri, meanwhile, looked as if this was routine, but Her eyes showed that she was going to go all-out.
Ruri waited, letting Ayane come to her. The clash of their initial moves was intense, with Ayane trying her best to keep up with Ruri's speed and precision. Ayane's Taijutsu was Really hard to counter and get ahead off, and even with Speed, Through Ayane's Byakugan, she wasn't able to Come closer-
Lest she wanted to get hit by Gentle Fist, The ability that every Hyuga Clan Member knows, even the Branch Members. After a few rounds, Ruri ended the match, giving a curt nod of approval toward Ayane. Ayane, though catching her breath, seemed pleased that she'd managed to gain some recognition.
"Natsuki, your turn," Ruri called, motioning him forward. Her tone was sharp, and he recognized the look in her eye—she was here to push him. After a couple of minutes of rest, Both Of us stood in our respective stances.
The two of Us faced off, each gauging the other's stance. They'd sparred countless times, so Natsuki was familiar with Ruri's techniques, but she always found a way to catch him off guard. They began with straightforward moves, gradually increasing speed, until they were nearly a blur of motion. He could feel the weight of her strikes, each one testing his defenses.
After several intense exchanges, Natsuki suddenly shifted tactics, He Suddenly burst in a fit of speed, coming through Ruri's Defenses and Striking Her In One Of Her Tenketsu Points, especially the one in the arm, disorienting her enough For Natsuki to Throw a Jab at Ruri's Jaw, Knocking her down-
Winning the match.
"You Targeted The Tenketsu Points?" Ayane asks in Surprise, and I nod, scratching my head a little, trying to act like I got caught in the act of stealing.
"Yeah, During Our Mandatory Extra Classes, I learnt about Tenketsu Points and How it is connected to the Chakra Pathway System, So I Figured on using it, Similar to You Ayane." She looks Surprised, but Then nods in Approval. She doesn't care If i imitated or not, since she doesn't respect the Rules Of The Hyuga's Any More.
Ruri Got Up, Her usual stoic expression softened briefly, a flicker of approval crossing her eyes. "You've improved. But don't get complacent, that Trick OF yours is temporary. I Will Defeat you Next Time!"
"Sure, But until then, I am In Lead." Natsuki shrugged, Grinning at Ruri, annoying her and rubbing it in her that He defeated her.
With that, the three continued their training late into the afternoon, each one gaining new insights and pushing their limits in different ways.Eventually, The Three of them started Training our Chakra Control, exhausting ourselves and pushing our limit.
All three of us say GoodBye and Leave for our respective Homes.
THE END
