Old Physician

Chapter 13: The Old Physician

"ROAR!"

Clearly, this Giant Brown Bear Ninja Beast was not about to just sit back and wait for death.

Even ants cling to life, let alone a Giant Brown Bear Ninja Beast that had already attained sentience.

Faced with the inescapable, omnidirectional assault of Uchiha Shin's six Fire Style: Great Fireball Technique, the Giant Brown Bear Ninja Beast let out a furious roar, swiping its claws repeatedly to unleash two massive, arc-shaped Wind Style slashes.

The Giant Brown Bear Ninja Beast was clever; it clearly intended to use its Wind Style attacks to scatter the incoming Fire Style: Great Fireball Technique, thereby carving out a space to evade the onslaught.

One must know that the fire element naturally suppresses the wind element.

Furthermore, Uchiha Shin's Fire Style: Great Fireball Technique was no ordinary version of the jutsu.

Consequently, the massive fireballs created by Uchiha Shin's Fire Style: Great Fireball Technique slammed violently into the wind slashes unleashed by the Giant Brown Bear Ninja Beast.

Following a thunderous explosion, the massive fireballs from Uchiha Shin's Fire Style: Great Fireball Technique continued their trajectory, their momentum barely diminished as they flew toward the Giant Brown Bear Ninja Beast.

Under the critical hits of the six great fireballs, the Giant Brown Bear Ninja Beast's sleek, lustrous fur was scorched charred and black.

Battered by such explosive attacks, the Giant Brown Bear Ninja Beast was left on the brink of death, collapsing to the ground with its paws clutched over its head, clinging to its final breath.

"Tsk, tsk!"

"This bear's defense is truly high!"

"If this were an ordinary genin, they would already be dead beyond a doubt."

"To think this bear still has a breath left..."

Uchiha Shin looked at the dying brown bear ninja beast on the ground with a look of astonishment, unable to help but speak.

The brown bear ninja beast seemed to understand human speech; the desire to survive forced it to lift its head, gazing at Uchiha Shin with a pitiful look in its eyes.

It was as if it hoped Uchiha Shin would spare its bear life.

Uchiha Shin seemed to understand the pitiful plea for mercy in the beast's eyes.

However, Uchiha Shin shook his head in refusal, a flash of killing intent crossing his eyes.

"It's not that I don't want to spare your bear life..."

"It's that the moment you attacked a member of the Uchiha Clan in the forest next to our compound, your fate was already sealed!"

"If you can attack a member of the Uchiha Clan on our territory today, tomorrow you could gather other ninja beasts to storm the Uchiha Clan's compound."

"The day after, you could lead those beasts to wipe out other ninja clans in the Land of Fire."

"In the end, you would surely establish a village of ninja beasts and call yourself the Bear Shadow!"

"As the saying goes, those who are not of our kind must have a different heart. If I let you go today, I would be a sinner against humanity in the future."

"So, you had better die here today!"

"Even though you are a ninja beast, I am still willing to explain all this to you."

"Because I am a reasonable ninja, and I hope you can understand that!"

"Be on your way, future Bear Shadow. To die at the hands of me, Uchiha Shin, can be considered a death well-deserved!"

Uchiha Shin chattered on, reasoning with the brown bear ninja beast...

As Uchiha Shin continued his lecture, the brown bear ninja beast's eyes widened further and further...

The look in the beast's eyes seemed to be accusing Uchiha Shin: You are actually framing a bear that can't talk?

And a simple, honest bear at that?

"Swish!"

Before the incredulous gaze of the Giant Brown Bear Ninja Beast, Uchiha Shin threw a poisoned kunai, instantly ending the beast's life.

"Whew!"

After finishing off the Giant Brown Bear Ninja Beast, Uchiha Shin took a deep breath.

He then hurried to the side of the injured Uchiha Hana, knelt down, and reached out his right hand to pat her cheek, trying to wake the unconscious Uchiha Hana.

"Hey, wake up!"

"Hey, hurry up and wake up!"

"You fellow, you can't keep sleeping!"

Uchiha Shin tried to rouse Uchiha Hana, but after two attempts, he still couldn't wake her.

A look of worry appeared on Uchiha Shin's face; he knew that if he didn't hurry, this fellow before him would surely perish.

Uchiha Shin bent down, scooped Uchiha Hana up, and rushed toward the Uchiha Clan compound.

I hope this fellow can still be saved...

Uchiha Shin thought worriedly as he sprinted.

Upon returning to the Uchiha Clan compound, Uchiha Shin carried Uchiha Hana and hurried toward the old physician who treated ninja injuries within the clan.

"Hey, old man...!"

"Hurry up and come out!"

"There's someone here, I don't think they're going to make it!"

The moment he reached the door of the old physician's house, Uchiha Shin shouted directly into the courtyard.

"Shin, is it you again?"

"Who is injured this time?"

By the time the old physician stepped out of the house, Uchiha Shin had already reached the eaves, carrying Uchiha Hana in a bridal carry.

"Here, it's this one..."

"I found her in the forest next to the Uchiha Clan compound."

"When I arrived, she was nearly beaten to death by a Giant Brown Bear Ninja Beast."

After Uchiha Shin laid Uchiha Hana down steadily in front of the old physician, he quickly explained the sequence of events clearly.

The old physician stepped forward to carefully examine Uchiha Hana's injuries, then offered Uchiha Shin a reassuring smile.

"This girl's internal organs were likely damaged by a single strike from that brown bear ninja beast, and she has two broken ribs."

"But it's nothing to worry about; I can heal her."

After smiling at Uchiha Shin, the old physician first reached out to set Uchiha Hana's fractured ribs back into place.

Immediately after, the old physician placed his hands in the air, hovering just above the injured areas on Uchiha Hana's body...

Then, the old physician's hands began to slowly bloom with a verdant green light. Under the illumination of this green glow, the injured areas on Uchiha Hana actually began to heal slowly.

The effects of medical ninjutsu are truly incredible!

If I had this medical ninjutsu in my past life, earning a million or ten million a year shouldn't have been a problem at all!

Watching the old physician's movements, Uchiha Shin couldn't help but let his imagination run wild.

Ten minutes later, the verdant green light on the old physician's hands slowly dissipated.

"I have already repaired this girl's damaged internal organs and ribs. As long as she rests quietly for a few days, she should be perfectly fine!"

"I'm absolutely exhausted today, an old man like me!"

"Unlike you young people nowadays, who can't help out at all..."

The old physician stood up and reached out to wipe away non-existent sweat from his forehead, looking at Uchiha Shin with an expression that screamed how hard he had worked.

Uchiha Shin curled his lips; he knew the old man was fishing for a favor.

"Don't worry, don't worry, old man!"

"I'll bring you that fine wine my dad has hidden away..."

Uchiha Shin gave the old man a thumbs-up, signaling that it was a done deal.

"But for these next few days, I'll have to leave this girl with you."

"I'm counting on you, old man."

"Just don't forget about my wine..."

The old physician stroked his beard, wearing an expression of victory as he instructed Uchiha Shin.

"I'll be heading off then."

"I still have to go turn in my mission."

After waving goodbye to the old physician, Uchiha Shin turned and headed straight toward the location where the Uchiha Clan processed mission reports.

However, the moment he turned around, Uchiha Shin immediately wore a pained expression and muttered under his breath.

"Tch, just wait until I learn medical ninjutsu..."

"Don't even think about extorting good wine from me again, you stinking old man."

Hearing Uchiha Shin's muttering, the old physician acted just like a child, a look of smug triumph immediately appearing on his face.
