Konoha Medical Corps

"Ah, Lord Hokage!"

Many medical ninjas bustled through the hall, dressed in white coats and wearing white caps.

They were busy and overwhelmed, but upon seeing the Third Hokage enter, they stepped forward one after another to salute and greet him.

"No need for formalities. Hane, come with me to the medical ward and take a look."

With that, the Third Hokage strode forward and pushed open the doors to the medical ward, with Hane following close behind.

Once inside.

Hane's eyes were met with nearly a hundred injured ninjas lying on white hospital beds.

Over a dozen medical ninjas had faint green light radiating from their hands, using the Healing Technique to treat the wounded.

"This is the medical ward of the Ninja Hospital. They are all ninjas from our Konoha Medical Corps."

"All these injured ninjas were transported back from the front lines yesterday."

After scanning the room, the Third Hokage spoke in a low, heavy voice to give Hane a brief introduction.

Seeing such heavy casualties among Konoha's ninjas, the Third Hokage naturally felt a sense of oppression in his heart.

Hearing this, Hane nodded, then felt a stir in his heart and walked over to a medical ninja who was currently treating a patient.

He looked at the wounded man on the bed and said in a low voice, "Let me try."

"Try what?"

The medical ninja, who was fully focused on treating the patient, was taken aback by the request.

He looked up at Hane, who was only six or seven years old, and a trace of impatience immediately appeared on his face. "We're busy here! Go play somewhere else, kid, and don't get in the way of saving lives!"

"Let him try."

Just as the medical ninja was about to stop him, a low, authoritative voice rang out, and he saw the Third Hokage beside him give a slight nod.

"Lord Hokage!!"

Only then did the medical ninja notice the arrival of the Third Hokage, and he quickly stepped aside.

Mystical Palm Technique!!

Once the medical ninja stepped aside, Hane quickly inspected the patient's injuries and formed hand seals in a blur.

A mass of soft green chakra instantly enveloped Hane's entire palm, which he pressed against the patient's wound.

Under the gaze of everyone present.

The wound on the patient's body began to recover at a speed visible to the naked eye.

In the blink of an eye, the shocking gash transformed into smooth skin, as if the injury had never existed at all.

As the treatment finished in an instant, the injured ninja's tightly furrowed brows gradually relaxed. He regained consciousness, opened his eyes, and murmured in confusion, "Where am I? Am I not dead?"

Seeing this miraculous scene, a gratified smile appeared on the Third Hokage's face.

The surrounding group of medical ninjas in white all wore expressions of astonishment.

"Who is this boy?!"

"That was the Mystical Palm Technique! That's an ultra-high-level medical ninjutsu!!"

"What's going on? Such a severe injury healed in an instant?!"

Seeing this six or seven-year-old boy perform an ultra-high-level medical ninjutsu and heal a comatose patient in the blink of an eye, the surrounding medical ninjas were all left dumbfounded.

"As expected..."

"Hane, assigning you to the Medical Corps is truly the most appropriate choice."

Ignoring the surprised gazes of all the medical ninjas in the room, the Third Hokage looked at Hane, who had displayed such astonishing medical talent, with a satisfied smile.

Hemostasis and the Healing Technique were basic medical ninjutsu that most members of the Medical Corps could use.

However, the Mystical Palm Technique—an A-rank, ultra-high-level ninjutsu—was rarely used, or even nearly extinct, due to its extremely high requirements for chakra control. Even within the Medical Corps, those capable of using it were few and far between.

"Lord Hokage, who is this?"

Seeing the top-tier medical ninjutsu Hane had displayed, the medical ninjas in the room looked curiously at the Third Hokage, hoping he would introduce the identity of this white-haired boy.

"Ahem, let me introduce him to everyone."

Seeing their gazes, the Third Hokage gave a light cough and began to introduce him. "His name is Yakushi Hane, a genin who just graduated from the Ninja Academy."

"Starting today, I will be assigning him to work here with all of you in the Medical Corps."

"Nani? Yakushi Hane?!"

"Is he that genius everyone in Konoha has been talking about lately..."

"I never expected him to possess such superb medical ninjutsu."

"To have this kind of strength right after graduating from the Ninja Academy... he truly lives up to the name of Konoha's number one genius!"

After hearing the Third Hokage introduce Hane's identity, the medical ninjas in the room immediately began to whisper among themselves.

Clearly, after that special graduation exam, the title of Konoha's number one genius had become the focal point of everyone's gossip throughout the village.

"I am Yakushi Hane. Please treat me well."

Facing the astonished gazes of the crowd, Hane stepped forward and gave a slight nod, his etiquette impeccable.

"Very well, Hane."

"From today on, you will work diligently here."

After arranging Hane's assignment in the Konoha Medical Corps, the Third Hokage patted Hane's shoulder earnestly. "Do not let me down."

"Rest assured, Lord Hokage."

Feeling the expectant gaze of the Third, Hane nodded silently, turning his head to look at the Konoha Medical Corps, which had already returned to its busy routine.

It seems... I will be spending a long time here from now on...

Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, three months had passed.

"Rumble... rumble..."

Constant, massive commotions erupted from the mountains behind Konoha.

"Water Style: Hard Vortex Water Blade!!"

Following Hane's soft shout, a Vanishing Rasengan instantly condensed in the palm of his right hand.

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!!"

After injecting the nature transformation of water-style chakra, a deafening, roaring sound of rushing water echoed out.

The Vanishing Rasengan in Hane's hand underwent a violent transformation, and a highly compressed water spear formed in his right hand.

It covered his entire right hand like a spiraling water tornado, emitting a shocking roar as if he were holding an entire, highly compressed waterfall in his grasp.

"Finally... it is complete!!"

After three months of arduous training, seeing this S-rank ninjutsu, known as the ultimate Water Style, finally perfected in his hands, a flash of excitement crossed Hane's amber eyes. He exerted his strength and hurled the roaring, high-pressure water spear forward.

"BOOM!!!"

An incredibly exaggerated tremor shook the ground, and to Hane's shock, the high-pressure water spear he had thrown expanded instantly, forming a massive water tornado.

It continuously sucked in the surrounding trees and earth, shredding them into fragments before tossing them into the air!

"This... what terrifying power!"

Seeing the catastrophic scene caused by his new technique, even Hane could not help but be startled.

The power appeared even more exaggerated than the Wind Style: Rasenshuriken completed by the protagonist, Naruto, in the original story.

"I really can't do anything about you, kid... so you actually finished this technique?"

Without any warning, the Demon's voice echoed in Hane's ear.
