The Devil of Konoha: Starting as a Medical Ninja

The three medical ninjas today were not the same three as yesterday. They were quite interested in this stranger, Hongzhi, but after a brief observation, they found that he was just quietly spacing out, so they shook their heads and left.

Many people come here just to coast through life, but they won't last long and will eventually leave, especially since this person is only a low-ranking ninja.

Although he doesn't have a fixed team, he can still make a living by taking on some D-level missions on his own.

As it turned out, these people misjudged him; half a month later, Hongzhi was still standing there in a daze.

It wasn't exactly spacing out; occasionally, it would extend its palm, seemingly practicing the release of healing magic.

The medical ninja in charge of the area was somewhat surprised to see this, since Hongzhi had remained motionless, leading many to believe that he hadn't fully recovered from the grief of losing his teammates.

Hongzhi naturally noticed that someone was watching him. After retracting his right hand, Hongzhi looked up and saw that there were now less than ten people in the training room.

Only two or three people are still diligently trying to master the healing technique.

In the past two weeks, seven people, including the one who succeeded from the beginning, have successfully learned the healing technique, and four of them are already genin with fixed teams.

The vast majority of the remaining people left, clearly having completely given up on the path of the ninja.

'Plans can't keep up with changes. Most of the remaining people probably don't have the talent to become medical ninjas. The higher-ups aren't stupid...'

After a brief moment of thought, Hongzhi extended his right hand again and began to unleash the healing spell.

"Even if I start training seriously now, it's impossible to learn healing magic within three days..."

Seeing that Hongzhi wanted to try, a medical ninja shook his head helplessly, clearly not optimistic about Hongzhi, as learning any ninjutsu takes time.

If he hadn't been daydreaming before, but had been seriously thinking and exploring, then there would still be a chance for success. But looking back at that blank stare, it didn't look like he was thinking at all.

However, the next second, the confident medical ninja felt a slap directly on his face.

A green light emerged from Hongzhi's hand; this was clearly a healing spell.

"I see!"

As the healing spell was successfully cast, Hongzhi's lips curled up slightly, revealing a healing smile.

He then turned to look at the medical ninja who was closest to him.

"I guess I can say I've succeeded!"

Hongzhi's calm voice completely stunned the medical ninja who hadn't even reacted yet.

"Congratulations, you succeeded."

Just as he was lost in thought, a clear voice rang out, and the female medical ninja who had handed the healing scroll to Hongzhi earlier slowly walked over.

"Thank you, teacher."

Hiroji nodded shyly, and upon hearing this, Shibata Rie's expression improved even more. Who could refuse a polite student!

"Now that we've succeeded, come with me!"

Rie Shibata's voice continued to come, and Hiroji smiled and nodded, following the medical ninja who had seen quite a bit.

As he left the large training room, Hiroji clearly noticed that everyone's eyes were on him.

Shocked, stunned, and unwilling to accept it.

This may be what these people were thinking, but it has nothing to do with Hongzhi anymore.

After walking down a long corridor, Shibata Rie led Hiroji to another training room. Before even entering, Hiroji smelled a fishy odor.

Based on the smell, Hongzhi roughly understood what this place was for; it was most likely another stage of training in healing magic. After all, successfully learning healing magic and being able to use it to save people were different.

In a fleeting memory from her past life, the best tool for practicing healing techniques at Konoha Hospital was a fish.

Just as expected, this training room is a bit smaller than the previous one, and it contains these six platforms.

Four of the tables on the shore were being used by people; these were undoubtedly students who had successfully learned healing techniques, but none of them were those who had become genin.

All four of them were using healing magic to try to save the fish that looked like they wouldn't live much longer. They were all red fish, and Hongzhi didn't know what they were called.

However, it is certain that about four fish will lose their lives today, which is the minimum number.

Next to each pair of shore tables, there was a medical ninja in charge. Although it was still not a one-on-one teaching session, it was undoubtedly much better than before.

"You can continue your training here for the next phase."

Rie Shibata went to a platform near a window, took out a scroll, spread it on the table, and then turned and left.

Hongzhi stood obediently behind the platform and waited. Everyone around him looked at him with curiosity.

The two medical ninjas were just caught off guard; it won't cause any serious consequences.

The four students who were performing the healing spell to save the fish's life successfully sent the fish away from their hands because they were looking at Hongzhi.

"Be serious."

The medical ninja, who had turned his gaze away, twitched at the sight. If these guys were to try to save someone directly, they would most likely just send them away.

"Yes Yes Yes!"

The four students nodded quickly, and the two medical ninjas got up and left, obviously to get some fish.

When only the students remained in the training room, the other four people all looked at Hongzhi.

"You're already a genin, why are you here?"

A boy not far from Hongzhi looked at the Konoha headband on Hongzhi's forehead and asked curiously.

"Because all my teammates have sacrificed themselves."

Could Chapter 5 be a genius?

His simple words revealed the cruel truth: for Hongzhi, who had killed all his teammates, he naturally felt nothing.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have taken action personally. But for the four who weren't even qualified to be genin, it was like an anesthetic being injected directly into their bodies.

It silenced them completely.

My condolences.

A moment later, the guy who asked the question spoke up somewhat embarrassedly, clearly feeling that he had touched a nerve with his senior.

"What's wrong with you guys? Aren't you even talking to each other?"

When the situation became somewhat awkward, Rie Shibata, carrying two nearly dead fish, pushed open the door to the training room.

Seeing the quiet training room, she felt a little uncomfortable. People who could train here would almost certainly stay at Konoha Hospital in the future, barring any unforeseen circumstances.

Logically speaking, this age should be a time of great activity, so why is the atmosphere here so somber? Anyone who didn't know better would think this was a funeral!

"This is your training goal. First, find the injuries inside the fish, then use healing spells to heal them. When you can get the fish back to life, you'll be considered qualified."

Seeing that no one responded, Shibata Rie didn't say anything more, but simply placed the fish in her hand on the shore in front of Hiroji and then gave her explanation.

"clear."

Looking at the dying fish, Hiroji suddenly felt a pang of envy for the Hyuga clan's bloodline limit. If he possessed the Hyuga clan's Byakugan, finding the fish's wounds would be incredibly easy.

Using healing techniques tentatively, Hongzhi began to use the green chakra transformed from the healing technique to slowly explore the fish's injuries, starting from its head.

As Hongzhi began his training, the entire training room quieted down. Soon, the two medical ninjas who had left earlier returned with eight fish.

The training proceeded slowly. After a few minutes, Hongzhi found the wound inside his subordinate Yu's body, but just as he was about to use a healing spell to treat it...

The fish is dead; it has no chance.

"Well done, the examination was very thorough. If it doesn't have any fatal injuries, you'll pass the test. But you need to know that only if the target is alive will they have the opportunity to receive more detailed treatment."

Seemingly noticing the remarkable precision with which Hiroji manipulated chakra, Shibata Rie commented as she placed the dead fish aside.

"I understand."

Hongzhi nodded, his attitude very sincere.

Seeing this, Shibata Rie placed another fish on the bank, signaling Hiroji to continue practicing.

During this process, Hongzhi discovered something quite interesting: the fish seemed perfectly fine when it was in the hands of the medical ninja.

But when it was placed on the shore, it looked like it was on the verge of death, obviously having been treated with healing spells.

This seems to make no problem, after all, the fish are training material, and you can't just watch them die.

However, Hongzhi suddenly discovered a blind spot: the fish had been out of the water for some time and were still alive, which was really absurd.

However, he wouldn't inquire about that matter. Regardless of how these medical ninjas kept the fish out of water for so long, his focus now was on reviving the dying fish.

Having learned from his previous experience, Hongzhi first used the chakra injected by the healing technique to roughly examine the wounds inside the fish's body.

When the chakra traveled through the meridians to the fish's abdomen, Hiroji clearly felt the interruption.

The fatal injury was right there. Once he realized this, Hongzhi immediately used a healing spell to heal and repair the wound.

Rie Shibata, who had witnessed all of this, had a bright look in her eyes. Compared to the previous four guys who could make up for their lack of talent through hard work, this time it seemed that a genius had arrived.

Five minutes later, the wound on the fish's abdomen gradually healed. Hongzhi continued to check the fish's body parts. This time there were not many changes. All the minor wounds were treated by Hongzhi.

During this process, Shibata Rie took a spray bottle and sprayed some water on the fish.

Upon seeing this, Hongzhi understood the secret to how fish could live for so long.

As the healing spell's light faded, a smile appeared on Hongzhi's face. He had finally succeeded!

However, before Hongzhi could even look around, the fish on the shore died once again.

"You've done a great job. It's impressive for a beginner to have reached this level, but Yu'er has already reached her limit. The essence of healing techniques is to use chakra to activate the cells of the target wound, causing them to divide and thus repair themselves."

During this time, our chakra is responsible for accelerating this process, but you must understand that the number of times any living cell can divide is limited. Your treatment just now was perfect, but the drawback is that it was too perfect. A fish that has been used multiple times has reached its limit.

The doubt in Hongzhi's eyes gradually turned into understanding. Clearly, as a teacher, the female medical ninja in front of him was quite qualified.

Hongzhi hadn't expected Konoha Hospital to reuse the fish. He wondered if the fish was lucky or unlucky.

"Try it a few more times. If you can do it perfectly every time, you can learn how to treat wounds from me in a few days."

Rie Shibata's voice came again, and the two medical ninjas who had been observing their respective students turned around at the same time, their eyes falling on Hiroji.

"what's the situation?"

One of them asked curiously, "Logically speaking, a student who has just learned healing magic should need at least a month to learn how to treat wounds. This is only the fifth day they have been watching him, and this guy seems to have just come in half an hour ago."

"Exquisite chakra manipulation skills."

When asked by her colleagues, Shibata Rie smiled slightly. She hadn't noticed it at first, but after observing the student's chakra manipulation level a second time, she felt somewhat ashamed.
