Chakra Medical Ninjutsu

The inability to walk in sunlight was a weakness Muzan could not avoid. There were no blue spider lilies in the Naruto World to repair genetic flaws, so he could only save himself.

He studied medical knowledge diligently and improved his chakra control in order to become a medical ninja.

"Director Harano agreed to let you work as a doctor's assistant, on the condition that it doesn't interfere with your classes. You can only intern at the hospital on Saturdays and Sundays."

Nobi Wei laid out his terms. He could learn Medical Ninjutsu if it would help Muzan become a powerful ninja like the White Fang of Konoha, but it could not take up too much time. Otherwise, if his former superior called him to account, his position as principal of the Ninja Academy would be finished.

"I can intern? That's not bad either."

"Muzan, you need to be prepared."

Seeing the anticipation on his face, Nobi Wei felt he should not disturb the boy's dream. But when he thought of the hospital, he still spoke with a heavy heart.

"The hospital isn't as wonderful as you imagine. Medical ninjas hold a low status in the Hidden Leaf Village. If not for Lady Tsunade, Konoha would never have deliberately developed medical ninjas."

Muzan already knew this. Konoha's Medical Ninjutsu had been vigorously promoted by Tsunade while she was in the village. After the Third Ninja War ended, Tsunade left the village, and even later on, Medical Ninjutsu remained much the same.

Moreover, medical ninjas required precise chakra control, so even fewer people were willing to study it. With that time, they might as well learn several powerful ninjutsu.

Among Konoha's famous ninjas, only Tsunade could be considered half a medical ninja. She was better known for the terrifying Monster Strength Fist and the combat power of the Strength of a Hundred.

"Thank you, Teacher Nobi Wei. I believe I can bring Konoha's Medical Ninjutsu to a new level."

Fulfilling days accompanied Muzan.

On Saturday and Sunday, he was the first to report to the hospital, but unfortunately, no doctor was willing to take him on as an assistant.

If Muzan had not been Lord Sakumo's child, he would have been thrown out long ago. Later, Muzan found Director Harano, and only then did Harano arrange a doctor for him.

"You can just stay by the side."

He cursed his bad luck. Of all times, he had run into Muzan in the director's office. Since he was Lord Sakumo's child, he could not be too harsh, so the task had been handed to him.

He had no desire to look after some little brat. He also had a surgery to perform, so An Yunqingtian pointed toward a corner.

"Don't make a sound while I'm operating."

It seemed Muzan had been underestimated. Fortunately, Nobi Wei had prepared him for it in advance. Otherwise, he might have thought the man was deliberately targeting him.

As the operation progressed, a fine layer of sweat appeared on An Yunqingtian's forehead. He needed to stitch the patient's wounds with extreme care, and later, out of habit, he called out:

"Prepare the blood bag..."

After the operation, An Yunqingtian was panting heavily from exhaustion. Only then did he remember that his assistant today was Muzan. When he looked down and noticed the bloodstained Muzan, his attitude immediately changed.

"You have a solid foundation in medical knowledge. You're more than qualified to be an assistant. Stay by my side and learn for the time being."

A qualified medical ninja needed more than just Medical Ninjutsu. They also needed to know how to use all kinds of medical equipment. Especially on the battlefield, the requirements for medical ninjas were even harsher.

Practice was the best test of one's results. Although An Yunqingtian was only a Chunin, his medical skill ranked among the best in the hospital, making him a great help to Muzan.

The morning passed in a flurry of activity. Besides assisting with operations, he also had to record various issues.

"Whew! Good job, kid."

After washing his hands, An Yunqingtian saw Muzan's exhausted appearance and handed him some food, along with a book.

"Recover your strength properly. This afternoon, try practicing Medical Ninjutsu. These are the hospital's basic ninjutsu, so nothing should go wrong."

When Muzan opened the book, it contained records of basic Medical Ninjutsu.

The Chakra Scalpel and Hemostasis Technique. In truth, most doctors only mastered basic Medical Ninjutsu. As for the latter two techniques, both required powerful control abilities.

They also required a certain amount of chakra. An operation could last several hours. Even though the Chakra Scalpel consumed very little chakra, it was still not something an ordinary ninja could sustain.

He was given the afternoon off to practice Medical Ninjutsu behind the hospital. Fortunately, he had done his homework. He caught a rabbit nearby and used chakra to stimulate the regeneration of its flesh.

"No wonder there are so few medical ninjas."

He had to control the chakra flow with extreme precision, stimulating the surface of the rabbit's wound. If the chakra flow was too weak, the wound would split open again. If he used too much chakra, the wound would rupture from healing too quickly.

Muzan spent the entire afternoon practicing Medical Ninjutsu. The flowing chakra could stimulate wounds to heal, and he finally saw some results.

He learned step by step. As for his genetic defect, he needed Konoha's vast collection of information. Medical materials were piled up in the hospital, and during his noon breaks, Muzan went there to read books about cells and related subjects.

"Tsunade truly is a genius."

The author listed above was Senju Tsunade, but her research focused on stimulating cells to grant wounds the ability to heal in a short time.

If Muzan wanted to research his own genetic defect, he could draw on part of her experience, but he could not blindly follow Tsunade's path.

"I don't want anything to do with that slimy snake."

When it came to genetic research, only Orochimaru had reached the forefront in all of Konoha. But considering his personality and Muzan's own cellular abilities, Muzan felt Orochimaru would have improper thoughts about him.

Just as Muzan was considering whether to approach Orochimaru, An Yunqingtian suddenly pushed open the hospital room door.

"Hurry, Muzan. There's an emergency operation that needs your help."

He hurriedly dragged Muzan into the operating room, where Muzan finally saw the miserable scene inside. A large number of people had been injured, and several were still being rescued by doctors. It seemed every doctor in the hospital was fighting to save lives.

"What happened? Why did so many wounded arrive at once?"

"You haven't experienced war, so you don't know how terrifying it is. This squad was carrying out a mission when they were attacked by Sand Ninja and severely injured."

An Yunqingtian did not explain further, pulling Muzan into the operation.

After several hours of strenuous effort, most of the doctors were exhausted and needed the doctors behind them to take turns treating patients. An Yunqingtian stumbled and fell to the ground, only then realizing that his chakra had run dry.

"I can't hold on anymore. There are still so many patients who need treatment. Damn it!"

Just as he cursed his lack of chakra, Muzan immediately stepped forward.

"I'll do it. I've already learned Medical Ninjutsu."
