Konoha Hospital, in a corner, the child's parents were already crying uncontrollably, their tears soaking their clothes. The doctors refused to operate on their child, and they were just ordinary civilians in the village, with no power or influence, and no way to seek accountability.
They didn't know that in an operating room somewhere in the hospital, a person named Uchiha Rei was silently operating on their child.
With the Sharingan paired with the Byakugan, two Kekkei Genkai combined with Jonin-level Medical Ninjutsu, there was no one in the entire Konohagakure who could match him at this moment.
And at this moment, Rei, dressed in a hospital gown, stood before the operating table, his movements focused and decisive.
On the operating table was a seven-year-old Watermelon Head Boy. He was severely injured by accidentally triggering an explosive tag, causing severe blockage in his Chakra pathways. If not treated in time, this child's ninja path might be over.
The delicate control of Chakra was the foundation of becoming a ninja, and any physiological defect would become a heavy shackle.
The Nurse standing beside him was so nervous she dared not breathe, her hands tightly gripping the hem of her clothes. She had thought this child was doomed to be abandoned because the doctor in charge was having an affair and had no intention of caring about the fate of this civilian child.
And at this moment, a strange ninja, dressed in a hospital gown, walked directly into the operating room and took over the entire surgery without hesitation.
The moment the surgical lights turned on, the entire room seemed to be isolated from the world, leaving only the child's rapid heartbeat and his faint, almost inaudible breathing.
The surgery began.
Uchiha Rei held a Chakra scalpel, his movements clean and swift, as stable as a mountain. Chakra flowed like a clear stream between every incision, precisely navigating the affected area. He avoided all critical nerves and meridians, his understanding of human anatomy already deeply ingrained.
"It's... it's incredible..." the Nurse exclaimed involuntarily, unable to believe that a ninja without any official position possessed medical skills surpassing all the attending physicians in the hospital.
"Don't make a sound," Uchiha Rei said calmly, not with anger, but with an undeniable authority.
She quickly shut her mouth, staring intently as he continued the surgery.
Time ticked by, a full hour. As the last trace of blocked Chakra was guided out, the child finally fell into a deep, stable sleep. The pain on his face receded, replaced by a long-lost rosy complexion and peace.
Uchiha Rei slowly removed his gloves and leaned down, whispering into the child's ear, "Have a good dream, little ninja."
At that moment, the Nurse remained standing there, speechless for a long time.
She had witnessed a miracle: a tragedy that was destined to be a medical malpractice was elegantly reversed in the hands of this ninja in a hospital gown.
She looked up at Uchiha Rei, his expression devoid of any pride, only calmness and indifference. She didn't know if what she felt in her heart was admiration, gratitude, or that inexplicable flutter.
"You... are so handsome," she said involuntarily.
"Post-operative recovery, follow standard procedures," Uchiha Rei replied calmly, turning around. He then pushed open the door and left the operating room.
In the corridor, the smell of disinfectant was still strong. His footsteps were steady, casting a clear shadow on the faintly gleaming floor. The operating room door closed behind him with a "clang," like closing off a world.
However, he hadn't taken more than a few steps.
A sharp voice suddenly rang out, like a nail scraping across glass:
"Who are you?! Who allowed you to enter the operating room without permission?!"
"Did I approve you to perform surgery?!"
A doctor in a white coat strode over, his face ashen, his tone filled with suppressed rage. The Konoha symbol was etched on his forehead; he was the Chief Doctor of this hospital.
He was also Doctor Xiao Dong, the so-called medical authority who had previously refused to save the child, disregarding life and death.
"I didn't expect it to be over so soon," Uchiha Rei thought indifferently, the scene he had witnessed not long ago outside the lounge still vivid in his mind: the Chief Doctor was pulling and dragging a female nurse in the lounge, devoid of the solemnity and restraint expected of a medical practitioner.
He had initially thought the man would be busy for several hours, not expecting him to jump out and accuse others so quickly. Uchiha Rei wondered if everyone else would think like him.
"Do you know what you just did?" Doctor Xiao Dong's voice rose an octave, his face flushed. "This is practicing medicine without a license! Can you take responsibility if something goes wrong?! Who gave you the authority to perform surgery without permission!"
His gaze was aggressive, filled with condescending arrogance. He was a Chunin in Konoha, and although his status in the village wasn't prominent, he held significant influence within the medical system. As he questioned, he released his Chakra to sense the other person. The faint Chakra of a Genin only deepened the mockery on his face.
"A Genin dares to show off here?" Doctor Xiao Dong sneered, his tone becoming increasingly sharp.
Uchiha Rei didn't respond, merely gazing at him quietly. At that moment, his eyes were icy.
If there hadn't been others around, this Chief Doctor would likely have lost his life long ago.
It had been too long since he had been berated so rudely. In the war years, when he was merely a Chunin, he had killed countless enemies. Now, this doctor, who only knew how to put on airs in the hospital, dared to speak to him like this.
In the silence, the nurse standing beside them couldn't help but speak, her voice soft yet firm: "The surgery was successful. The abnormal Chakra within the patient has been completely cleared."
"Successful?" Doctor Xiao Dong snorted, glaring at her with mocking eyes. "How do you define success? Is it a slight rise in body temperature, or the Chakra flow becoming more stable? Medicine isn't as simple as you imagine! You can't be complacent just because nothing has gone wrong temporarily!"
His tone was cold, and he pressed on: "Your actions are completely against regulations. I will report this immediately, and all responsibility will fall on him!"
The little nurse in the corner finally couldn't stand it anymore. She stood up abruptly, her slender figure straight, her voice clear and resolute: "I was present the entire time, and I made all the surgical records."
"This gentleman only performed emergency treatment when the patient's condition was extremely critical. If we had waited any longer, the patient's Meridian system would have completely collapsed! It was you, Chief Doctor! It was you who refused to operate, almost killing that child!"
Doctor Xiao Dong's eye twitched. He snorted and gave her a mocking glance. "So, you know each other? It seems you're not only speaking up for him but also daring to cover up violations?"
He took a step closer, his eyes filled with slander and contempt. "You don't understand Medical Ninjutsu at all. I think you're just blinded because this Genin is handsome."
"As long as you side with me, he will bear all the consequences!" As he spoke, he pointed his hand at Uchiha Rei, his posture condescending, like a judge passing sentence.
This time, the little nurse's face turned completely red, her voice trembling with anger. "You're wrong! He didn't just cut randomly! I saw with my own eyes how he avoided every critical Chakra line, his operations were astonishingly precise!"
She gritted her teeth and looked at Doctor Xiao Dong, refusing to back down. "Have you ever seen someone perform precise suturing with only a Chakra scalpel, without a surgical knife? I have never witnessed such skilled, calm, and extremely controlled surgical operation."
"His control is stronger than any Medical Ninja I have ever seen!"
The little nurse looked directly at the self-righteous medical director, her tone firm. "If I may be so bold, his Medical Ninjutsu is a hundred times stronger than yours!!"
