Naruto: Starting with Creating a Genius Persona

Chapter 143 Shinichi Knows How to Be a Person

Shinichi went to the front lines as a professional medical ninja, so he naturally followed the medical team to the field hospital.

Deep within the camp, tents stretched out in a dense cluster, medical personnel hurried in and out of the entrance, stretchers moved in and out, and the air was filled with the mixed smells of blood, medicine, and disinfectant.

Inside each tent, a scene of bustling activity bordering on chaos unfolded, with beds lined up one after another, filled with wounded soldiers brought down from the front lines.

Some groaned softly, while others remained unconscious. Medical ninjas moved among them, the green chakra light in their hands almost never ceasing.

Shinichi quickly received his task assignment. He walked through the crowded passage, lifted the tent labeled "Intensive Care Unit 1," and went inside.

Inside, things were just as busy. Seven or eight medical ninjas were treating the wounded in front of them. Some had sweat on their foreheads, while others were whispering to each other.

Shinichi's gaze swept across the tent, then suddenly stopped at a certain spot.

A familiar figure was standing in front of the hospital bed, head bowed, brows furrowed.

She was dressed in the uniform of a medical ninja, wearing round-framed glasses. Her short, light brown hair looked a little frizzy in the dim light of the tent, and her profile was gentle and earnest.

At this moment, she was looking at the wounded man lying on the hospital bed in front of her, her face showing a hesitation as to how to proceed.

"Nonou-neechan".

Shinichi walked over and spoke softly.

Yakushi Nonou paused for a moment, looked up, blinked, and then widened her eyes.

"Eh? Shinichi!?"

A look of surprise appeared on her face as she looked him up and down with some uncertainty: "What are you doing here?"

"You...shouldn't you still be in the village?"

Yakushi Nonou was also a child from that orphanage.

However, she had already become a formal ninja before Shinichi was even born.

It is said that she was very talented. She was spotted by the seniors in the medical department when she was in the ninja academy and began training in medical ninjutsu at an early age. She quickly became a formal medical ninja.

However, she did not work at Konoha Hospital, but instead served as a medical staff member in a patrol team along the border of the Land of Fire.

She never forgot the place that raised her. Whenever she returned to Konoha, she would go back to the orphanage to help out, bringing sweets and snacks, talking to the children, and helping the director with the accounts.

When Shinichi was little, he even received candy from her.

This time, she was one of the earliest medical ninjas to come to the front line as a direct follower of Jiraiya's Konoha Southwest Army.

"I'm a member of the logistics and medical team sent by the village to support the front lines. I just arrived today," Shinichi explained.

Yakushino opened her mouth, wanting to say that she was too young and that it shouldn't be her turn, but she swallowed the words back.

She looked at the boy in front of her. He was much taller than when she last saw him, and the childishness on his face had faded a lot. His eyes were still the same as she remembered, gentle and bright.

But it has gained a sense of calm and reassurance.

Thinking about Shinichi's achievements over the years—independently developing the Rasengan, winning the Chunin Exams in Sunagakure, fighting to a draw with a powerful samurai from the Land of Iron, and giving a speech at the village assembly just a few days ago...

Yakushi Nonou suddenly realized that this child was no longer the little brat who used to accept her candy and whisper thank you, big sister.

"I see."

With thoughts swirling in her mind, Yakushi Nonou finally just nodded, a familiar gentle smile appearing on her face: "With Shinichi here, I feel much more at ease."

Although she was on duty at the border year-round and occasionally had to obey the orders of that adult to act as a spy to gather intelligence on other countries, she could still often hear about the child's deeds and knew that his medical skills were extremely high.

Shinichi smiled, then turned his gaze to the unconscious wounded soldier on the hospital bed, his expression turning serious: "What's the problem?"

Lying on the bed was a young ninja who looked to be no more than twenty years old. His right arm and most of his shoulder were wrapped in bandages, but even through the layers of gauze, it was clear that something was wrong with his arm.

It was much thinner than a normal left arm, and looked as if all the moisture had been drained from it.

The skin that occasionally peeked out from the gaps in the bandages had an eerie, withered brown color, wrinkled and clung to the bones, as if it were a piece of dead wood that had been dried in the desert for many years.

With Shinichi's medical expertise, he only glanced at it and secretly shook his head.

There's no hope. Just wait to die.

Pharmacist Nonou's voice was very low as she quickly explained, "The skin on his right arm and most of his right shoulder..."

The water in the muscle tissue and even bones is completely evaporated, causing the entire area of ​​body tissue to undergo irreversible drying and necrosis.

"I considered emergency amputation to stop the necrosis and potential infection from spreading to the entire torso, but the area of ​​injury is too large. If it is amputated, the wound will be enormous, and he will definitely not survive on the spot due to excessive blood loss. For now, I can only use palm magic to try to maintain the vitality of the healthy areas above his shoulder and try to activate some..."

At this point, Yakushi Nonou sighed and continued, "But... this is just delaying the inevitable. The systemic infection caused by the necrotic tissue is almost certain; he probably won't last more than a few days..."

'

"Shinichi, you..."

After a brief and quick introduction, Yakushi Nonou looked at the boy beside her and asked with a sliver of hope.

"Is there any way?"

Shinichi is a medical genius praised by everyone at Konoha Hospital, and he is also the personal disciple of Tsunade, the best medical ninja in the ninja world.

Perhaps he has a solution?

Perhaps...

In reality, Yakushi Nonou didn't have much hope either. In this situation, even if Lady Tsunade herself intervened, she might not be able to save her fellow countrywoman's life.

I'll try my best.

Shinichi didn't make his statement completely.

He first took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and then opened them again after a moment, his gaze falling on the unconscious young ninja on the hospital bed.

In an instant, the world in his eyes seemed to change.

It was as if a piece of elegant background music was playing in his mind.

The wounded in the hospital bed no longer seemed like wounded in his eyes.

He was just a piece of meat, an ingredient that had a problem.

Just like a top chef examining an ingredient about to be cooked, considering its texture, layers, which parts can still be preserved, and which have completely lost their value and need to be precisely removed.

Then, Shinichi stretched out his hand, his movements very light and slow, with an indescribable elegance.

His fingers began to gently knead the wounded man's palm, his fingertips tracing over each finger and each phalanx, then moving upwards along the wrist, forearm, and elbow, all the way to the withered and shrunken shoulder.

The movements are so precise, it's like measuring something. Sometimes it stops, lingers in a certain spot for a moment, and presses down slightly with its fingertips.

However, this goes beyond routine medical examinations, with an overly meticulous and even seemingly intoxicating approach to the examination.

As the Pharmacist Nonou watched this scene, a strange, inexplicable feeling suddenly welled up inside her.

Shinichi's movements were very serious, focused, and even gentle.

But she always felt that something was wrong.

That feeling... how to describe it...

It's like watching a top chef handle a precious ingredient.

For example, he is now using his fingers to touch and appreciate the marbling and elasticity of a piece of top-grade beef, carefully examining every inch of the texture, thinking about how to cut it and what cooking method to bring out its flavor and nutrition to the fullest extent.

They were clearly preparing to rescue someone, but it looked more like they were preparing to cook.

Yakushi Nonou was startled by her own thought and quickly shook her head.

"The situation is bad, but there might be a way."

Shinichi's finger finally rested on the edge of the necrotic area. After a moment of contemplation, he looked at the pharmacist Nono and calmly said, "Nono-neechan, please go and get me a dose of hematopoietic agent, a hemostatic powder, and a high-concentration nutrient solution."
