Palm Rotation

When these people saw a fresh new intern arrive,

and realized he could take over part of their workload, their eyes immediately lit up.

The hospital conducted a comprehensive evaluation of Hyuga Qingchuan and found that he was indeed exactly 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 Qingchuan was entrusted with an important duty.

First and foremost, he had to serve as a humanoid X-ray machine.

With medical resources stretched thin, wounded patients kept arriving one after another.

The Emergency Department prioritized its equipment for severely injured patients, leaving those with less serious injuries constantly pushed back in line.

So the hospital first put Hyuga Qingchuan's Byakugan to use as an emergency measure.

Patients who were not critically injured came to Hyuga Qingchuan for examination first.

Based on the results, the hospital would then decide on the next stage of treatment.

Occasionally, if there were no internal injuries involved, Hyuga Qingchuan directly treated the wounds on the spot with the Healing Technique.

At first, Hyuga Qingchuan interned at the hospital on Saturdays and Sundays while attending classes normally from Monday to Friday.

Later, the hospital simply sent someone to ask Inoue Lingyue for an extended leave and kept Hyuga Qingchuan at the hospital.

In his previous life, Hyuga Qingchuan had not started working until he was in his twenties. In this life, he had become a workhorse at the tender age of eleven.

He worked at the hospital during the day, then trained with Might Guy after getting off work.

During that time, he also found Hyuga Yata, the Hyuga Clan elder in charge of instruction, and learned Palm Rotation from him.

When the old man first saw the utterly unoriginal exquisite kunai he had brought, his face remained expressionless.

Only after Hyuga Qingchuan brought out the beer he had brewed himself did the old man's expression turn warm.

Only then did he learn that the old man was a lover of fine liquor.

But the same old shochu and sake had long since lost their appeal.

Although the beer Hyuga Qingchuan brought was not particularly strong, it was novel.

After taking a few sips, Hyuga Yata exclaimed in delight.

He immediately declared that as long as Hyuga Qingchuan brought beer with him,

even if he failed to learn Palm Rotation, he could keep coming to ask him for guidance.

After several visits, the two became familiar with each other. Whenever Hyuga Qingchuan's workload was light,

he would bring beer to Hyuga Yata's place. Before long, he successfully learned Palm Rotation.

More than half a month passed like this.

Konoha Hospital.

Because of Hyuga Qingchuan's arrival, and for his convenience,

the hospital specifically marked out an empty area for him in the corner by the Emergency Department entrance.

It was fully equipped with hospital beds, tables, computers, medicine, lamps, and everything else he needed.

It was like a small operating room.

Hyuga Qingchuan withdrew the glow of his Healing Technique and said to the patient on the bed:

"All right. You have no internal injuries, and I've already healed the wound. Just rest for a few days and you'll be fine."

"Thank you, Doctor! Thank you!" the patient said gratefully.

"You're welcome."

Watching the patient leave with a smile, Hyuga Qingchuan 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 a few groaning patients toward him.

These nurses were ordinary civilians, not ninja.

They possessed some medical knowledge but had no chakra-related skills.

They mainly handled assisting duties and patient care, making them an important supplement to Konoha's medical system.

"Lord Qingchuan, please examine their injuries first."

A medical worker pressed her hands together as she pleaded.

Hyuga Qingchuan 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 trapped in a vortex beneath the left costal arch."

"Understood!" The medical worker thanked him repeatedly and pushed the patient away.

Hyuga Qingchuan scanned the next one.

"Shuriken fragments are embedded in the scapular muscle group. The surrounding tissue has formed pearl-like calcified sacs."

"There are three rupture points along the sciatic nerve..."

"..."

Hyuga Qingchuan scanned them one by one, while the medical workers wheeled the patients away one by one in grateful relief.

He had only just finished examining them all

when several more medical workers arrived with several more patients.

"What's this?" Hyuga Qingchuan asked, noticing that these patients did not seem to be from the Emergency Department.

"Lord Qingchuan, please take a look. These are patients here for follow-up examinations," a medical worker said.

"Why are follow-up patients coming to me too?" Hyuga Qingchuan frowned.

"The Emergency Department borrowed the Inpatient Department's equipment, so it can't be used right now." The medical worker sounded utterly helpless.

"Fine. So it's my own department's mess."

Hyuga Qingchuan could only force himself to focus. He picked up the patients' medical records and, after reading them,

examined them again with his Byakugan.

"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 Qingchuan 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 blood flow is stable. Congratulations."

"Doctor, is it a boy or a girl?" the pregnant woman asked happily.

Hyuga Qingchuan smiled and shook his head.

The pregnant woman understood what he meant, thanked him, and left.

He turned to the next patient:

"The meridian recovery is unsatisfactory. Chakra is obstructed around the third lumbar vertebra. I recommend drawing up a new physiotherapy plan."

"Bone recovery is good. The bone line is blurred..."

"..."

Hyuga Qingchuan quickly completed the examinations for these patients.

He slumped into his chair in exhaustion.

At last, he understood why medical personnel in his previous life had such terrible attitudes.

If he had to endure this intensity every day for more than a decade,

his temper would not be much better either.

Fortunately, there were still gains to be had.

With Intermediate Medical Knowledge and the Delicate Illness Extraction Technique, combined with the Healing Technique, he could now be considered a medical ninja of some skill.

Suddenly, a clear voice rang out.

"Qingchuan, why are you here?"

Hyuga Qingchuan turned to look and saw a lovely red figure enter his field of vision.

Yuhi Kurenai?

She was still wearing that red-and-white outfit, with bandages wrapped around her fair thighs and forearms.

Her red eyes were clear and bright.

The moment she saw Hyuga Qingchuan, her face broke into a smile as she waved at him in greeting.

She stood on one foot, while her other foot barely touched the ground, one hand resting on Yuhi Shinku beside her.

She did not seem to be in very good condition.

Seeing this, Hyuga Qingchuan stood up and walked over.

He first nodded to Yuhi Shinku. "Lord Shinku!"

Then he asked with concern:

"Kurenai, what happened to you?"
