The Devil of Konoha: Starting as a Medical Ninja

Hongzhi speculated that it might be due to the Palm Healing Technique, or it might be due to the effect of chakra.

However, since there are no specific research cases, Hongzhi does not yet know the exact reason.

However, we finally have a general direction; all that's missing are the experimental materials.

Because of Konoha, Hiroji had no way to find experimental subjects for the time being.

All we can do now is honestly accumulate proficiency and see if we can find any special methods with the help of cheat codes.

As for the scroll on the technique of extracting minor ailments left behind by Kudo Yuya, Hiroji only glanced at it a few times and had no intention of continuing to study it. It wasn't because the ninjutsu was useless, but because it was too simple and had no difficulty at all.

The foundation of a medical ninja is chakra control, which is not difficult for Hongzhi at all. If an explanation is needed, then his proficiency in chakra control is the best proof.

[Chakra Control; Limit Break +4 (7.6%), Precision +4, Stability +1]

Besides requiring superb chakra control, the technique of extracting the thorns also requires a steady hand when using chakra. Otherwise, the thorns will not be extracted and the target will be sent away instead. This is not a problem for Hongzhi.

Don't ask, the answer is that there's a cheat code.

Having mastered the art of diagnosing and treating minor ailments, Hongzhi was immediately immersed in a sea of ​​knowledge, and in this process, his medical skills were gradually improving.

Kudo Yuya came by several times during that period, wanting to say something, but seeing Hiroji's persistent manner, she decisively gave up the idea of ​​speaking.

Half a year passed quickly, and when Hongzhi put down the last medical book, a smile involuntarily appeared on his lips.

I've finally finished watching it. I have to say, it truly lives up to its name as Konoha, the ninja village with the highest level of medical care in the entire ninja world.

Hiroji has read all the medical books available at Konoha Hospital, and has gained a completely new understanding of the problems he had previously encountered. Now he is even more confident in his plan.

Next, we might be able to plan some materials. Of course, we also need to improve some specific abilities, since the only way to obtain valuable materials is by robbing.

"how's it going?"

Just as Hiroji put the medical book back in its original place, Kudo Yuya pushed open the door and walked in.

Kudo Yuuya was under a lot of pressure regarding Hiroji's continued seclusion, since the addition of a medical ninja who could use palm techniques and chakra scalpels would alleviate a lot of the pressure.

If there were no such person, it would be fine, but since there is already such a person, the medical ninjas are somewhat resentful if they don't let him come to help.

Over time, all sorts of opinions emerged, but Kudo Yuya still believed in Hiroji.

“Great, I can’t wait to experiment with what I’ve learned.”

Hongzhi smiled and spoke. Although he had initially intended to treat the dean as an NPC, he was still very grateful for the care he had received over the past six months.

"In that case, come with me. We're a bit overwhelmed right now."

Kudo Yuuya breathed a sigh of relief. Now it was time to test this guy's results. Hopefully, he wouldn't be disappointed.

Chapter 12 The Art of Extracting Subtle Ailments

"what's the situation?"

Hongzhi, dressed in the white uniform of a medical ninja, entered the treatment room, but what he saw was not a patient screaming in pain.

Instead, it was a ninja dog howling in pain.

Moreover, this ninja dog looks somewhat familiar. If I'm not mistaken, it should be Akamaru, Kiba Inuzuka's partner among the Konoha Twelve.

"If you are stung by a venomous bee and the venom is not removed in time, it may affect your sense of smell."

Inside the treatment room, a medical ninja responsible for examining injuries shook his head with a headache. This was Konoha Hospital, and normally they wouldn't be responsible for treating ninja dogs.

However, recently all the more professional personnel have temporarily left Konoha, and it will take about three hours for them to get back.

If it lasts three hours, this ninja dog named Akamaru might have to retire immediately.

With the medical ninja's explanation, Hiroji then noticed that Akamaru's palate and the area around his nose were covered with evenly distributed red lumps, indicating that the swarm of poisonous bees must have been professionally trained.

"It's so miserable."

Hongzhi casually commented, then walked to the side, picked up a syringe, and inserted it directly into the lump, extracting some pus for research.

"Woof...Woof!"

Perhaps because of the pain, Akamaru began to vent his dissatisfaction. Generally speaking, the feelings of patients need to be taken care of, but Akamaru is clearly not a patient; at best, he can be considered a sick dog.

Hiroji wouldn't care what the dog thought, and even if Kiba Inuzuka were standing next to him right now, it wouldn't be a big deal.

After studying the composition of the pus for a while, Hongzhi made a decision. In the current situation, cutting open the abscess to treat the wound and then preparing an antidote should be the best theoretical solution.

This is how medical ninjas typically handle this situation. However, there is an even more direct method: using the Fine Extraction Technique to extract all the toxins and pus from the cells, followed by treatment with the Palm Healing Technique.

Given the current emergency situation, the latter is undoubtedly the safest option, although it places very high demands on medical ninjas.

'So this is why I was brought here? What a boring test!'

After understanding this, Hiroji realized why Kudo Yuya had asked him to come here first; it was simply to see if Hiroji could use the technique of extracting the minor ailment.

The answer is yes. Although Hongzhi hadn't studied the technique of extracting small ailments extensively, his proficiency was nearly maxed out. Even without the added bonus of special abilities, he could definitely use it without any problems.

[Technique for extracting small lesions; 95% success rate]

Glancing at the prompt beside him, Hongzhi's lips curled up slightly. Let this unlucky ninja dog become the experimental material for pushing the limits of the Fine-Disease Extraction Technique!

After identifying the treatment method, Hongzhi quickly began preparing the special medicinal solution needed for the technique of extracting the small lesions.

"Woof...Woof!"

The sound coming from behind him from time to time made Hongzhi feel somewhat helpless. If he didn't need to pay attention to his image, he would have used his Lightning Release to paralyze such disobedient material long ago.

"There shouldn't be any problems, right?!"

Outside the treatment room, Kiba Inuzuka, who still looked somewhat young, listened with some worry to the sounds coming from inside.

As a member of the Inuzuka clan, after spending several years with Akamaru, he successfully unlocked the skill of mastering dog language, and at this moment he can feel Akamaru's pain.

But at this very moment, there was nothing he could do but stand there anxiously.

Inside the treatment room, Hongzhi had already prepared the medicine needed for the Minor Ailment Extraction Technique. After signaling the medical ninja beside him to hold Akamaru down, Hongzhi prepared to start the procedure.

The medical ninja, who had initially been given a hint, didn't realize what was happening, but after seeing Hongzhi's preparations, he understood.

Although he did not know how to use the technique of extracting minor ailments, he still knew the preparation work required for it.

Although he hesitated at first, he obediently began to cooperate after realizing that the man was the dean's apprentice.

Akamaru, who was already suffering from pain, panicked when his hands and feet were suddenly bound by the medical ninja.

"Wow wow wow!"

A string of dog-like words burst out, which had no effect on Hiroji and the medical ninja who couldn't understand it, but Kiba Inuzuka, who was outside the treatment room, immediately changed his expression.

If he hadn't known clearly that this was a treatment room, he would have just rushed in.

When Akamaru was filled with fear, he clearly saw Hiroji walking towards him with a smile. As if sensing that the person in front of him posed no danger, Akamaru's cries subsided.

Hongzhi naturally didn't notice such details. After holding Akamaru's dog head in place with one hand, he put the other hand directly into the prepared medicine.

When he reached out again, he had already condensed a ball of medicinal liquid in his hand, which was still swaying slightly.

Upon seeing this, the medical ninja instinctively held his breath. What followed was a high-level operation; one wrong move and the ninja dog would be crippled.

Under the watchful eye of the medical ninja, Hongzhi slowly moved his hand toward Akamaru's injured area.

"Woof...Woof..."

When the two came into contact, a pungent, tingling sensation immediately struck, and Akamaru, who had still had the strength to howl in pain, gave up struggling.

From Hongzhi's perspective, one can clearly see tears streaming uncontrollably from the corners of his eyes.

Hongzhi completely ignored this point and proceeded with his operation. A few seconds later, Hongzhi slowly withdrew his hand.

The once-transparent liquid was now filled with pus, a clump of purple venom, and black venomous stingers.

The medicine fell back into the wooden barrel, but Hongzhi didn't react at all. Meanwhile, the medical ninja who had been controlling Akamaru began to breathe heavily.

Hongzhi glanced at him with considerable surprise, then looked at Akamaru's palate and the area around his nose, where the swelling had subsided.

The Palm Healing Technique was used to heal the area that was bleeding slightly.

After completing all this, Hongzhi left the treatment room without even glancing at Akamaru on the hospital bed.

It's worth mentioning that the treatment room has two doors, one for the patient and the other for the medical ninja.

It was impossible for Hiroji to encounter Kiba Inuzuka after he left, which was a bit of a regret for him. Although he had been in Konoha for almost three years, he had still met relatively few familiar characters.

But since we didn't get to see each other, let's just leave it at that. There will definitely be opportunities in the future anyway.

After Hongzhi left, Akamaru, who had lost all will to live, was also sent out. At this moment, its physical pain was gone, but its psychological pain seemed to require a long time to heal.

Chapter 13 Youngest and Most Outstanding

"That's wonderful, Akamaru!"

Upon seeing Akamaru without any bandages, Kiba Inuzuka immediately picked him up and spun him around happily.

They didn't notice Akamaru's somewhat resigned look.

Soon the man and the dog left, and at this moment Hongzhi also received a notification.

[Technique for extracting small lesions; Limit Break +1 (2%) Cleanse +1]

The Fine-Disease Extraction Technique was successful because the treatment of Akamaru exceeded its limits. The subsequent characteristics are easy to understand: the Fine-Disease Extraction Technique can extract most of the substances that are harmful to cells, but not all of them.

For example, there was still a small amount of dirty blood left in Akamaru's wound just now, which its own body would normally need to expel.

However, its cleansing properties would allow Hongzhi to extract harmful substances more thoroughly when he uses the technique of removing minor ailments again.

This makes the cells cleaner, which can reduce the recovery time after surgery, and can be considered a good feature.

After letting the notification disappear, Hongzhi didn't rest. Instead, he returned to the training room to continue accumulating proficiency in body tempering and palm immortal techniques.

The surgery performed on Akamaru was a task assigned by Kudo Yuya, and Hiroji is currently not assigned any work, so his job is obviously more relaxed.

It's just unclear how long this situation will last.

When Hiroji finished the surgery and left, several medical ninjas gathered in Kudo Yuya's director's office. They had just witnessed Hiroji using the Fine Disease Extraction Technique.

For these medical ninjas who couldn't use the technique of extracting minor ailments, this was undoubtedly a feast.

It's not that they don't know how to extract the disease, but the consequences of using it are too serious to be effective on the human body.

Even ninja dogs won't do.
