New Technology Achieves Great Success

Seeing Sarutobi Biwako's expression, Hyuga Ningyuan keenly sensed something was off.

"Is... is there something on my face? Why are you looking at me like that?" Hyuga Ningyuan blinked.

Was I learning too fast?

But there really wasn't much difference between Healing Technique and Mystical Palm Technique—just stronger healing properties and a bit more chakra output.

Sarutobi Biwako didn't answer. Instead, she raised her hand, condensed a Chakra Scalpel, and without hesitation slashed it across her own arm!

"Master, you—"

"Use your Mystical Palm Technique to heal me!" Sarutobi Biwako ignored the bleeding wound, a gentle smile still on her face.

"Uh, okay!" Hyuga Ningyuan nodded, activating Mystical Palm Technique and covering it over Sarutobi Biwako's arm.

Level 5 Arcane Brush Palace and Level 5 Phoenix Genealogy Chart gave Hyuga Ningyuan physical and mental energy far beyond ordinary people.

The Hyuga Clan's bloodline made his chakra quality inherently superior.

And that chakra quality and control had been upgraded multiple times by [Glazed Robe] and [Object Control].

Combined with White Swan [Wings of Truth]'s +40% Qi intensity and +40% healing effect, plus [Benevolent Medical Practice]'s +30% Medical Ninjutsu effect boost.

The Medical Ninjutsu Hyuga Ningyuan released—if not jaw-droppingly miraculous—was certainly astonishing enough to shake the world!

The four-centimeter-long wound, deep enough to see bone, was visibly sprouting new flesh.

In just sixteen seconds, the entire wound had healed completely, leaving not even a scar!

"That's not right—wasn't the fish you healed earlier much faster?" Sarutobi Biwako was puzzled. "There's no way learning Mystical Palm Technique made you slower?"

Sure, human cells were more complex than fish, but the gap shouldn't be this huge!

"Oh, you mean the fish? Want me to show you again?" Hyuga Ningyuan asked.

"Yes!" Sarutobi Biwako, unafraid of pain, switched arms and cut herself again.

This time, Hyuga Ningyuan changed his approach. He pinched the wound shut with one hand, pressing the edges together, while using the other hand to release Mystical Palm Technique.

The healing speed was noticeably faster this time—only two seconds, and a wound of the same size had fully healed!

"The first wound had a big gap in the middle, so cells had to grow and fill it all, which took a lot of time. But if you press the wound together, only a tiny bit of new cell growth is needed, so it's naturally faster!"

"That's a thing?" Sarutobi Biwako was stunned. Was that even a method?

"What else would it be?" Hyuga Ningyuan blinked. "Don't you treat injuries this way?"

Sarutobi Biwako's face flushed. She was genuinely thrown off!

They really didn't treat injuries like that. Normally, they'd just slap Mystical Palm Technique right on the wound and brute-force it.

Hyuga Ningyuan was speechless.

He now realized these Medical Ninjas never pressed wounds together before using Mystical Palm Technique—they just let new cells grow to fill the gap!

After all, human self-healing was pretty strong. On Earth, an ordinary person with a small cut could stop bleeding and heal in five minutes; an appendectomy wound could even get discharged the same day.

Even for big wounds, surgical ones like C-sections, they'd heal in six or seven days.

In the ninja world, people had denser cells, stronger Recovery Power, and even more vitality—there was no reason Healing Technique should take five minutes!

Even if they were using cell activation and division methods, it shouldn't be that slow. A single cell split into two in just one minute, and cell connections formed in an instant.

There was no way it should take five minutes.

So you're telling me using Healing Technique actually made it slower?

It could only mean their technique was flawed!

Don't think this is too trivial to happen.

Wasn't it just pressing a wound together before using Mystical Palm Technique? How could they not think of that? On Earth, wound suturing had been around since 3000 BC.

But different worlds, different circumstances.

On Earth, without supernatural power, every problem had to be solved through technological progress.

In the ninja world, a superpowered realm with chakra, problems were solved through chakra instead, so basic technical development got overlooked.

Many techniques were just flashes of inspiration from certain individuals.

Even without him, Konoha Hospital would probably come up with this technique someday—maybe far in the future, maybe tomorrow.

But for now, the inventor of this technique was undoubtedly Hyuga Ningyuan!

Sarutobi Biwako didn't waste words. She stood up directly. "Follow me!"

"Okay!" Hyuga Ningyuan rose, knowing she was going to find someone to test it on.

Konoha Hospital didn't have many patients, but since they were ninjas, injuries from training—like getting cut by their own Kunai, Shuriken, or even Explosive Tags—were inevitable.

Sarutobi Biwako went to the hospital entrance, checked the admission records, and quickly found a patient who had just been admitted to a ward but hadn't started treatment yet.

His name was Tengjing Ming, 24 years old, a Chunin.

He'd injured his right arm while practicing swordsmanship, nearly severing it completely.

He was lying on the hospital bed, chatting idly with a nurse, looking perfectly at ease—until he turned his head and saw the director of Konoha Hospital walk in.

Suddenly, he couldn't even speak properly.

"D-Director?" Fujii Akira asked in panic. "I just hurt my arm training with a sword, and there's no poison on the blade—I'm not going to die, am I?"

"No," Sarutobi Biwako shook her head. "It's just that Konoha Hospital has developed a new medical technique, and we want to try it on you."

No bonus pay, no death benefits, no insurance contract signed—just that one simple sentence, and the Chunin Fujii Akira nodded without hesitation. "It's my honor to contribute to Konoha's medical progress!"

"Mm." Sarutobi Biwako unwrapped the bandage and examined Fujii Akira's wound.

The gash was still split open, with blood temporarily stopped through Chakra means. But they needed to use the Mystical Palm Technique to close it quickly, or it would damage the nerves.

In the past, an injury like this would require a Jonin-level Medical Ninja to work for about ten minutes.

But now—

Sarutobi Biwako beckoned. "Ningyuan, you hold his wound together. I'll use the Mystical Palm Technique."

"Alright." Hyuga Ningyuan casually lifted Fujii Akira's arm, pressing the wound shut.

"Mystical Palm Technique!" Sarutobi Biwako raised her hand, and emerald-green Chakra instantly enveloped the entire wound.

"Director?" A crowd of people seemed to spawn out of nowhere—other doctors from the hospital.

Sarutobi Biwako rarely treated patients herself anymore, mainly because the patient volume was low, and by not stepping in, she could train the next generation of Medical Ninja.

So when word spread that Sarutobi Biwako had come down, these doctors shared Fujii Akira's assumption—maybe this Chunin was about to die.

Some also noticed Hyuga Ningyuan beside Sarutobi Biwako and guessed that perhaps Fujii Akira wasn't dying, but that Lady Biwako was teaching an apprentice?

"Quiet," Sarutobi Biwako said softly, a hint of joy rising in her eyes.

Because she could see that the Chunin's wound was shrinking at an astonishing speed!

In just sixteen seconds, the wound had healed!

"This is... a miracle!" Sarutobi Biwako's eyes widened, and she turned to look at Hyuga Ningyuan. "Ningyuan, you've made a major contribution!"

Anyone who's watched the anime knows that Medical Ninja performing the Mystical Palm Technique always do it alone—no one else holds the wound closed or retracts it.

Also, the five-minute mark is official canon.
