Hospital Life

A week later, Training Ground 83.

Haku looked at Hyuga Riko and Uchiha Yu before him and spoke of his next plans.

"Our squad won't be assigned any missions by the village for now. The next time we go out on a mission should be in about three months, so we have three months to improve our strength."

Hyuga Riko directly stated his plan.

"I'm going home to undergo special training with my clan. Next time we go on a mission, I won't be so useless. Besides being able to use the Byakugan to take a look, I basically couldn't help at all."

After finishing, he seemed a little unhappy about not being able to train with Haku and lowered his head silently.

"Because our squad's Jonin leader is Lord Orochimaru, even though I didn't become Lord Orochimaru's student, the clan still gave me a lot of resources and a few precious ninjutsu."

Uchiha Yu touched her right eye.

"Also, I should be able to reach Jonin level in three months."

Haku looked at Uchiha Yu's action and understood the abnormal speed at which her Sharingan was improving. It wasn't a sudden burst of growth, but rather a steady strengthening over time.

Seeing that both of them had their own plans, Haku let go of the last trace of shame he felt for having to stay at Konoha Hospital for three months and not being able to train with them.

"I'll be staying at Konoha Hospital for these three months! You can find me there if you need anything."

The two girls knew that Haku had gotten a position at Konoha Hospital through Tsunade's recommendation, so they weren't surprised when Haku said he would be staying there for three months.

"Then, let's make the ninjas of other villages tremble in three months!"

"Then, let's make the ninjas of other villages tremble in three months!"

"Then, let's make the ninjas of other villages tremble in three months!"

The three young souls began to burn.

From that day on, Haku began his life at the hospital. During the day, he was at the hospital, learning medical knowledge and practicing medical ninjutsu on patients. His progress in medical ninjutsu was quite pleasing.

At night, he practiced chakra control and Taijutsu at Training Ground 83. Haku believed that after three months, he wouldn't fall into the water anymore.

At first, the hospital mainly treated villagers, but after a week, more and more ninjas began to come to the hospital for treatment.

From these ninjas, Haku learned that the front lines were becoming increasingly tense. Although there hadn't been any large-scale conflicts, skirmishes in small squads were constant.

Furthermore, Konohagakure had begun conscripting ninjas to form a unit to support the front lines against Kumogakure. Haku knew that it wouldn't be long after this unit departed that it would be their turn to transport supplies to the front lines.

One day, in the physician's office at Konoha Hospital. Haku, having mastered a skilled Healing Technique and being able to use the Delicate Illness Extraction Technique, had secured his own exclusive office at the hospital.

"Knock, knock, knock!"

"Come in!"

"Physician Haku, a ninja has been seriously injured with multiple fractured bones. We need you to treat him."

Hearing the nurse who entered say that a ninja needed treatment, Haku followed without hesitation.

"Alright! Take me to see him!"

Haku had experienced similar situations many times at Konoha Hospital recently, but this patient caught him somewhat off guard.

Looking at Might Guy, who had fallen unconscious before him, Haku instantly felt the cruelty of the ninja world war and felt how close war was to him.

During their last mission, although the three members of his squad had sustained injuries to varying degrees, those were injuries that wouldn't affect their future.

Looking at Might Guy's injuries this time, Haku knew at first glance that Duy would no longer be able to be a ninja. Even with such injuries, Haku himself couldn't guarantee that he could completely heal Might Guy.

Although Haku wasn't confident, he knew he had to try. He was the only one at Konoha Hospital who could use the Delicate Illness Extraction Technique.

Only by using the Delicate Illness Extraction Technique to expel the shattered bones from Duy's body and then using the Healing Technique could he save Might Guy's life.

Sighing, Haku began treating Duy.

As he delved deeper into treating Might Guy, Haku also understood how Duy had sustained these injuries.

These were the consequences of activating the Eight Inner Gates Formation Technique, where his body couldn't withstand the rampant chakra, leading to its collapse. He must have opened the Seventh Gate, the Gate of Shock, and likely for a considerable amount of time.

It seemed the enemy he encountered was at the Elite Jonin level. A regular Jonin wouldn't have pushed Might Guy this far, but he hadn't opened all eight gates, so the enemy likely wasn't numerous.

However, speculating now was useless. He would ask Duy when he woke up, though he probably wouldn't have a chance to avenge him. If he could return after opening the seventh gate, it meant the enemy had likely been dealt with.
