In Konoha: I will spread the will of conquest throughout the ninja world.

A day at Konoha Hospital is busy.

With a permanent population of six figures and a large transient population, the ninja settlement is frequented mostly by ordinary people suffering from minor ailments.

These people are received by ordinary doctors, and only occasionally will medical ninjas come out to examine and treat them.

But a medical ninja's day is anything but easy.

Konoha supports a large number of ninjas, including those in the ninja ranks and private soldiers kept by various families. Ninjas can also catch colds and fevers, and if they are not careful while practicing ninjutsu, they may injure themselves. The former can be treated by buying medicine themselves, while the latter can only be treated at the hospital unless they know medical ninjutsu or know a medical ninja.

Even after dealing with these medical ninjas, they can't relax. Medical ninjas are different from ordinary combat ninjas. They not only need extremely high talent in medical ninjutsu, but also need to read a lot of books and personally practice to accumulate experience.

So, the first thing Yu Ge did upon arriving at the hospital was to pick up the massive tome that could kill someone and start flipping through it page by page, interspersed with some theory and practice.

"Can I really get started?"

Looking at the hammer in his hand, Igor hesitated slightly before glancing at Yukino Kagura, who was making no attempt to hide her smile.

I've only been here for one day, is it really appropriate for me to do the manual labor?

I could see the look of shock, anger, and fear in the eyes of the patient lying in bed.

Yukino Kagura squinted, smiling like a snow fox.

"Of course you can. Everyone starts learning to become a medical ninja from this step. A good doctor is one who dares to take action. On the battlefield, the enemy won't give you much time to prepare."

The working environment at Konoha Hospital is only theoretically the best operating platform that can be provided for medical ninjas. In reality, most medical ninjas inevitably have to go to the battlefield during times of war.

War doesn't show you any mercy. A highly mobile ninja can rush in at the slightest opening. Not every medical ninja is Tsunade. The first lesson a medical ninja learns is to perform surgery as quickly as possible.

As for the aftereffects of the surgery, that's not something a medical ninja should worry about. Anyway, those who survive will find a hospital on their own.

"Are you kidding me? You've already healed me!"

The Chunin, lying in his hospital bed, yelled.

"This kid is only a few years old, how dare you let him do this? Has he even been weaned?!"

Before Yukino Kagura could speak, Isogen Yoka's eyes narrowed, his resolve was made, and he raised his hammer high with both hands.

boom!

Click.

"Awoo~!"

A wolf's howl, still lingering in the air, and the sound of bones breaking suddenly rang out at the same time.

The commotion was so loud that even Yukino Kagura was startled.

Having finished all this, Yuuko Igarashi slightly raised her head and said in a normal tone, "Is this alright, Yukino-sensei?"

Yukino Kagura looked at the cute little boy, then turned to look at the Chunin lying on the bed, gasping for breath.

Because the bone in the emergency treatment for the injury grew out of place and needed to be broken and regrown, he can now be discharged from the hospital after a period of rest and proper follow-up treatment.

"Very good." She nodded.

It's hard not to praise the fact that such perfect striking force and angle didn't damage any other parts of the body.

After praising him, she looked at the howling chunin with a slightly disdainful gaze.

"You're such a grown-up, and you can't even bear this little bit of pain?"

The middle-aged ninja said, "...This kid's strength doesn't seem to be for his age."

"Tch." Yukino Kagura curled her lip.

Sometimes language isn't enough for communication; a hammer is more useful.

[Gained Yin attribute +0.3, Yang attribute +0.4]

The information about the attribute points being entered into the account made Ishigaki very satisfied.

Sure enough, the hospital was my paradise during my early development.

After inspecting the area, Yukino Kagura said to Igarashi Yuuka, "Watch my movements."

"Calming Healer Technique!"

The luminous green chakra exuded a reassuring aura. Fine beads of sweat appeared on Yukino Kagura's forehead. After a long while, she stopped what she was doing and let out a long sigh.

"Alright, you can be discharged now."

The middle-aged ninja breathed a sigh of relief, quickly got up and ran away. Before leaving, Yukino Kagura shouted a complaint at him and turned left downstairs.

"Are there many complaints about the hospital?" Yuge asked curiously.

Yukino Kagura pursed her lips and said helplessly, "There are many, how can there not be many? Sometimes I really don't know what those villagers are thinking, treating the hospital like a wishing well."

Because of the influence of the great ninja god, Hashirama Senju, the First Hokage of Konoha, Konoha treated civilians extremely well throughout the entire ninja world. Villagers could even bully powerful ninjas without any burden. After the Konoha Hospital was built, the doctors suffered even more. The doctor-patient relationship is a major problem that is difficult to solve worldwide.

Wu Shixian felt a pang of sympathy for these medical workers.

As expected, these are troublemakers from Konoha. It's no use being polite to these people; we must strike hard!

"Let's not talk about these unpleasant topics. Did you remember everything I did just now?"

"I've got it." Isogen nodded.

"Very good." Yukino Kagura was extremely satisfied. Taking on students is time-consuming, laborious, and mentally taxing, but she was taking on a cute little cutie who looked like a snow doll. She was also humble, eager to learn, and would take the initiative to ask questions. When she had nothing to do, she would read books in a corner or observe other doctors treating patients. She also knew how to pay attention to details and learn on her own.

You couldn't find such a good student even with a lantern.

Although they are not actually teachers and students.

"What I just used was the A-rank ninjutsu Palm Healing Technique, which uses chakra output through the palms to accelerate wound healing. It can treat not only internal injuries but also external injuries and diseases."

"However, this ninjutsu is very difficult to learn. Even if you learn it, you need a lot of practice to master it, so there aren't many people who know it. I was lucky enough to get some guidance when Lady Tsunade was still in the hospital, which allowed me to get started."

Wu Shixian Yuge nodded to indicate that he was listening.

When Yukino Kagura used the Palm Healing Technique just now, she felt a clear blockage. It's easy to imagine how difficult it is to master an A-rank ninjutsu, especially a medical ninjutsu that requires a lot of medical knowledge.

Then Yukino Kagura explained the key points of the Palm Healing Technique one by one, and Igarashi listened attentively and took good notes.

There are generally three ways to learn ninjutsu.

Apprenticeship, money, and grueling training are necessary, but not the only options.

Ninja villages place great importance on ninjutsu. Generally, ninjas who teach ninjutsu to students need to report to the village. However, there are always exceptions to the rule, and the development of the ninja world today is certainly not due to rigid adherence to the rules.

The existence of ninja clans, a clan with a long history and rich collections, has led to wars that have made ninjas strive to improve themselves in order to survive. As a result, many BCD-level ninjutsu techniques are now indistinguishable in terms of who taught whom.

So as long as it's not a powerful and distinctive technique, it's fine to release it, provided the village doesn't take it too seriously.

Back to the hospital.

Yuuko's adorable appearance paired with her earnest expression made Yukino Kagura's heart flutter.

"Seeing Xiao Yuge after a long day at the hospital makes all my fatigue disappear."

The hand that was taking notes on the fifty strings of Yu Ge paused slightly, and then quickly wrote the conclusion below.

[People who study medicine are generally not mentally stable] (crossed out)

[Studying medicine can easily lead to mental instability] (crossed out)

[Try to drive the patient to a mental breakdown]

The third sentence wasn't crossed out; instead, a few words were changed.

If you have to choose one of the two, you must choose the one that causes the patient to become mentally unstable.

Closing her notebook, Yuuko Ichigen let out a soft breath, slightly raising her head. Yukino Kagura, who had just finished explaining a long list of precautions, was drinking tea.

His nostrils flared slightly, and the enhanced Yang attribute made all five senses more acute. He smelled the sweet, cloying scent emanating from the water glass.

It tastes a bit like...soda, but chilled.

High-intensity activities that drastically deplete energy do indeed require the replenishment of sugar.

"Do you drink orange flavor?"
