When these people saw a fresh new intern appear,
who could take over part of their workload, their eyes immediately lit up.
The hospital then conducted a comprehensive assessment of Hyuga Seisen and found that he was indeed just as the training instructor had described.
After repeated discussions, they stuffed this newly arrived workhorse into the hospital under the guise of internship training.
That very day, Hyuga Seisen was entrusted with an important responsibility.
First and foremost, he was to serve as a human X-ray machine.
With medical resources stretched thin and wounded patients arriving one after another,
the emergency department prioritized its equipment for severely injured patients, leaving those with less serious injuries continually bumped down the line.
So the hospital put Hyuga Seisen's Byakugan to use as an emergency measure.
Patients who were not critically injured came to Hyuga Seisen for an examination first.
The next stage of treatment would then be decided based on the results.
For the occasional patient without internal injuries, Hyuga Seisen directly treated their wounds on the spot with the Healing Technique.
At first, Hyuga Seisen interned at the hospital on Saturdays and Sundays while attending classes normally from Monday through Friday.
Later, the hospital simply sent someone to Inoue Lingyue to request an extended leave of absence and kept Hyuga Seisen at the hospital.
Thus, Hyuga Seisen, who had not started working until his twenties in his previous life, had become a workhorse at the tender age of eleven in this one.
He worked at the hospital during the day, then trained with Might Guy after work.
During that time, he also found time to learn Rotation from Hyuga Yata, the Hyuga Clan elder in charge of instruction.
When the old man first saw him carrying an unremarkable, exquisitely made kunai, his expression remained blank.
It was not until Hyuga Seisen brought out the beer he had brewed himself that the old man's face warmed up.
Only then did he learn that the old man was a lover of fine drink.
But after drinking the same old shochu and sake over and over, he had long since grown numb to them.
Though the beer Hyuga Seisen brought was low in alcohol content, its novelty made up for it.
After a few sips, Hyuga Yata cried out in delight.
He immediately declared that as long as Hyuga Seisen brought beer with him,
even if he failed to learn Rotation, he could keep coming to ask for guidance.
After several visits, the two grew familiar with each other. Whenever Hyuga Seisen's workload was light,
he would bring beer to Hyuga Yata's place. Going back and forth like this, he successfully learned Rotation.
More than half a month passed like that.
Konoha Hospital.
For Hyuga Seisen's convenience, the hospital had specially set aside an open area at the entrance corner of the emergency department for his use.
It had everything: hospital beds, desks, computers, medicine, lamps, and more.
It was like a small operating room.
Hyuga Seisen withdrew the glow of the Healing Technique and said to the patient on the bed,
"That's all. You have no internal injuries, and I've already healed the wound. Rest for a few days, and you'll be fine."
"Thank you, Doctor! Thank you!" The patient was overflowing with gratitude.
"You're welcome."
Watching the patient leave with a smile, Hyuga Seisen found a chair and leaned back.
It was nearly noon, and he had not had a moment to rest since morning.
The moment he sat down, several nurses pushed several groaning patients over to him.
These nurses were ordinary civilians, not ninja.
They had some medical knowledge but possessed no Chakra-related skills.
They mainly handled assistant work and nursing care, making them an important supplement to Konoha's medical system.
"Lord Seisen, please examine their injuries first."
One of the medical staff clasped their hands and pleaded.
Hyuga Seisen sighed helplessly, activated his Byakugan, and scanned them one by one.
As he observed the conditions inside the patients' bodies, he spoke.
"A subcapsular splenic hematoma. Chakra flow is pooling in a vortex beneath the left costal arch."
"Understood!" The medical staff repeatedly thanked him and pushed the patient away.
Hyuga Seisen scanned the next one.
"Shuriken fragments are embedded in the scapular muscles. The surrounding tissue has formed pearl-like calcified cysts."
"There are three rupture points in the sciatic nerve..."
"..."
Hyuga Seisen scanned them one after another, while the medical staff gratefully pushed the patients away one by one.
After great difficulty, he finished examining them.
Then several more medical staff brought several more patients over.
"What's this?" Hyuga Seisen looked at them. They did not seem to be from the emergency department.
"Lord Seisen, please take a look. These are patients here for follow-up examinations," one medical worker said.
"Why are follow-up patients coming to me too?" Hyuga Seisen frowned.
"The emergency department borrowed the inpatient department's equipment, so they can't use it right now." The medical worker looked helpless.
"Fine. So it's my own department's mess."
Hyuga Seisen could only force himself to perk up. He picked up the patients' medical records, read through them, and then
examined them with his Byakugan once more.
"Postoperative recovery is good. Chakra circulation around the wound is smooth. You can recuperate on your own."
"Yes, thank you, Doctor," the patient said.
He looked at the next patient and his eyes widened.
She was actually a pregnant woman.
"What's going on? Why is a pregnant woman here too? Did the emergency department borrow the ultrasound machine as well?"
The medical worker nodded awkwardly.
Hyuga Seisen could not help rolling his eyes.
Fortunately, the medical knowledge Stone Gate had given him was comprehensive enough.
He let out a long breath and examined her with his Byakugan.
A moment later, he said, "The fetus is developing normally, and the umbilical cord blood flow is stable. Congratulations."
"Doctor, is it a boy or a girl?" the pregnant woman asked happily.
Hyuga Seisen smiled and shook his head.
The pregnant woman understood what he meant, thanked him, and left.
He turned to the next patient.
"Meridian recovery is unsatisfactory. Chakra is blocked around the third lumbar vertebra. I recommend drawing up a new physiotherapy plan."
"Bone recovery is good. The bone lines are blurred..."
"..."
Hyuga Seisen soon finished examining these patients.
He slumped into his chair in exhaustion.
Now he finally understood why medical workers in his previous life had such poor attitudes.
If they had to keep up this intensity day after day, year after year, for over a decade,
his temper would not be any better either.
Fortunately, there were gains to be had.
[You have successfully taken your first step toward healing the sick and saving the dying. You have received a blessing.] [Intermediate Medical Knowledge *1] [Healing Technique Experience *1] [Healing Technique has advanced to the Proficient level.] [Energy Crystals *20] [You have participated in surgical observation and healing multiple times. You have received a blessing.] [Yang Release Chakra Nature Transformation has advanced to the Proficient level.] [Delicate Illness Extraction Technique (Proficient) *1] [Energy Crystals *20]
With Intermediate Medical Knowledge and the Delicate Illness Extraction Technique, along with the Healing Technique, he could now be considered a medical ninja of some skill.
Suddenly, a clear voice rang out.
"Seisen, why are you here?"
Hyuga Seisen turned and saw a graceful figure in red enter his field of vision.
Yuhi Kurenai?
She was still wearing that red-and-white outfit, with bandages wrapped around her pale thighs and forearms.
Her red eyes were bright and clear.
When she saw Hyuga Seisen, her face immediately blossomed into a smile, and she waved to greet him.
She stood on one foot, while her other foot hung unsteadily in the air. One hand rested on Yuhi Shinku beside her.
She did not seem to be in very good condition.
Seeing this, Hyuga Seisen rose and walked over.
He first nodded to Yuhi Shinku. "Lord Shinku!"
Then he asked with concern,
"Kurenai, what happened to you?"
