Konoha: Starting with Sage Mode.

Chapter 47 Medical Class

In the morning, at Konoha Hospital, in the internal medical class, Kirito was attending class diligently. He memorized everything the medical ninja on the podium said, filtered out the irrelevant information, and copied the key points into his notebook.

This is his fourteenth day in the medical class. He has now fully adapted to the pace of the class and, thanks to his excellent learning ability, is quickly catching up with the instructors' teaching progress.

The medical class curriculum is similar to that of the ninja academy, divided into practical and theoretical classes.

However, compared to the Ninja Academy, this place places more emphasis on theoretical classes, with very few practical classes.

That's for sure. Medicine is a profound and complex discipline. If your theoretical knowledge isn't up to par, it's impossible to get into real-world practice.

Those who study medicine must have sufficient reverence for life.

The medical class has a large number of theoretical courses, which can be roughly divided into Medical Ninja Code, Pharmacology, First Aid, Human Anatomy, Biological Research, Toxin Research, Cell Research, and so on.

Of these courses, Kirito was most interested in pharmacology, human research, and cell research.

In these classes, he learned a lot of valuable knowledge that he couldn't learn outside. The only pity was that much of the knowledge in these classes was taboo, and the teachers would not teach it to him in private. If he wanted to acquire it, he would need to gain a high position in the medical system.

To this end, he has already participated in the hospital's pharmaceutical work, making solid contributions to Konoha and accumulating experience in the hospital.

There is only one practical course, and that is learning the Palm Immortal Technique.

This medical ninjutsu is classified as an A-rank ninjutsu, so you can imagine how difficult it is to learn; it's probably even more difficult than the Rasengan.

Because medical ninjas need to use it to save lives, in addition to possessing Yang-attribute chakra and excellent chakra manipulation skills, they also need to have sufficient understanding of the physical structure of living beings.

Before Kirito came to the medical class, he had not mastered the Yang Release chakra nature, but the medical class had a very mature method for cultivating the Yang Release chakra nature, and he successfully cultivated the Yang Release chakra nature in just one week.

After that, Kirito began to train in the Palm Healing Technique.

As expected of an A-rank ninjutsu, the Palm Healing Technique was not easy for him to master. Unlike the Lightning Release, Yin Release, and Water Release ninjutsu he had learned before, which he could master and use skillfully in a day or two, it was not easy to learn and use it proficiently.

However, his learning of the Spirit Transformation Technique progressed very smoothly, and he found it easy to cultivate.

Because he didn't have a thorough understanding of the fish's anatomy, he killed more than ten fish before successfully reviving one using his palm magic, which took him two days.

However, using the Palm Healing Technique to revive a fish is only the first step in learning the Palm Healing Technique. He is still far from truly mastering it. He will need to practice on animals such as cats, dogs, and birds until his supervising medical ninja deems him qualified to perform treatments on humans and succeeds. Only then will he be considered to have truly learned it.

In the afternoon's practical lesson, Kirito will practice on a white cat with an injured leg.

Before using Healing Palm Technique, he needs to clean the wound and then infuse chakra into it to determine the severity of the injury and which areas need immediate repair. After that, he activates Healing Palm Technique, using Yang-attribute chakra as needles and threads to reconnect the severed muscle tissue and blood vessels, thus accelerating the healing of the wound.

This process requires the practitioner to have a high degree of concentration and excellent chakra manipulation skills.

In about two minutes, Kirito, with a slight sweat on his forehead, finished the treatment. Then, he tapped the cat's head with his finger, injected chakra, and dispelled the genjutsu on the cat.

The next moment, the white cat lying on the bed regained consciousness. When he saw the unfamiliar Kirito, he was startled and immediately stood up, then tried to jump out the window to escape.

Unfortunately, as soon as it jumped off the bed, it stopped moving.

A sealing array appeared on the ground beneath it.

Sealing Technique: One-Lineage Lamp Array

"Not bad, you're learning the Palm Healing Technique very quickly. I estimate it won't be long before you'll be able to perform the surgery."

At that moment, a female medical ninja with severe dark circles under her eyes came to Kirito's side, patted him on the shoulder, and praised him.

Upon hearing this, Kirito humbly replied, "You flatter me. It's all thanks to your excellent teaching, Master Ciyun, that I've improved so quickly."

Senju Jiyun is a medical jonin of Konoha, a master of medicine, the highest-ranking person in the medical team, and also the head of the pharmacy department in the hospital.

This mature woman, whom he had only met a few times in the Senju clan's territory, was the medical ninjutsu teacher that Mito had found for him, and also his strongest protective force in the hospital.

Like Tsunade, Jiyun was also a very capable ninja, one of the few elite Jonin in the Senju clan.

It was thanks to her private tutoring that Kirito was able to catch up with the medical class's learning progress in just ten days and even start to overtake them.

"I've already told you not to call me teacher, call me sister, it makes me sound old."

Ciyun vigorously rubbed Tongren's head with her hands and said with a smile.

She really liked Kirito, who was smart, quick-witted, and sensible. In terms of chakra control, he was the best student she had ever seen, only slightly inferior to her. Moreover, he had remarkable medical skills at such a young age.

She could tell that Kirito's medical skills had improved rapidly under her special guidance because he already possessed considerable medical expertise. He caught up with the medical class's learning pace in just ten days.

If Kirito weren't already Mito-sama's disciple, she would have wanted to take him on as her own.

She might only encounter one genius like this once in her entire life.

"She's already thirty-five, and she's still not the youngest."

Kirito was patted on the head yet again, his hair was ruffled, and he muttered under his breath, a little annoyed.

"What did you just say?"

Ciyun's ears twitched slightly as he looked at Kirito with a benevolent expression.

"I just said that you are very beautiful, Sister Ciyun."

Upon seeing this, Kirito broke out in a cold sweat and chuckled awkwardly.

Ciyun wasn't going to let Kirito get away with it so easily. She grinned mischievously and said, "Kirito, the archives haven't been cleaned for a while. Since you've finished your classwork so quickly, why don't you do the cleaning? The capable should do more."

Upon hearing this, Kirito's face immediately fell, and then, amidst a kind smile and his classmates' gloating expressions, he got up and left the classroom.

But as soon as he left the classroom, the distressed expression on his face disappeared, replaced by a happy smile.

Kirito had long wanted to visit the archives, a place filled with various medical records and data, but he had never had the opportunity. Moreover, the hospital was heavily guarded, and as a medical intern, he couldn't move around freely.

Ci Yun's actions just now, though seemingly a punishment, were actually a reward for him.

"Sister Ciyun, you are such a kind person."

Kirito thought to himself with a smug smile as he made his way to the archives room on the basement floor.

Soon, he arrived at the stairwell leading to the basement.

Just then, a man with messy hair, pale skin, and golden eyes came up the stairs.

When Kirito met this person's eyes, he immediately felt as if he were being watched by a venomous snake.

In an instant, the scene before him changed, and a giant snake actually appeared before him, staring at him, this tiny human, with its cold and merciless huge snake eyes.

It's tough for a new author to get ahead, so I hope all my fellow readers will visit often to increase the readership. After you finish reading, I hope you'll vote for this book and invest in it. If you could give me some monthly tickets and rewards, I would be extremely grateful. It's so hard for a new author and a new book.
