Attribute Panel

As Hinata Tianyi looked at the data panel floating before his eyes, his heart pounded like a drum in his chest.

After the initial excitement faded, he gradually calmed down.

The grenades and bulletproof vest he had were trump cards, but they did not change the fact that he had 3 Ninjutsu, 4 Taijutsu, and 4 Genjutsu.

His overall evaluation was Genin. In this high-risk world where ninja techniques clashed at every turn and people unleashed their ultimate moves—

Especially in the midst of the Second Shinobi World War, this little strength, plus a few grenades and a bulletproof vest, was still not enough.

If he were thrown onto the front lines or encountered elite enemies, his chances of survival would still be pitifully low.

He absolutely could not go to the battlefield. At least, at this stage, he absolutely could not be passively sent there!

He needed time, room to grow, and a relatively safe environment in which to absorb the knowledge he had brought from the modern world.

He also needed to establish more solid ties with the nation.

How could he avoid being immediately sent to the front lines?

What reason did a Genin recovering from severe injuries have to remain in the relatively safe rear of the camp?

His gaze moved rapidly across the data panel before finally settling on two lines of information:

[Mastered Skills]

First Aid: Beginner

[Available Skill Points: 2]

A plan instantly took shape in his mind.

That was it—a medical ninja! Although medical ninjas in this world also had to go to the front lines—

They were usually stationed behind the battle lines or accompanied teams to provide support.

Their danger level was far lower than that of combat ninjas who charged into the fray.

More importantly, medical ninjas were extremely scarce, heavily protected, and usually selected from people with special talents.

Such as precise chakra control.

And he happened to possess the Byakugan!

These eyes could see through the human body's meridians, blood vessels, and bones, while perceiving the subtle flow of chakra.

They were practically a top-tier medical support cheat by nature!

He had no idea why the Hyuga Clan had not produced a single medical ninja in the original story.

What a waste!

If I combine modern First Aid knowledge with the Byakugan's insight—

Then properly learn this world's medical ninjutsu...

I would have every reason to apply for a transfer to, or work in support of, the medical unit!

Perhaps he might even become a medical expert like Tsunade one day.

Not only could he minimize the risks of direct combat, but he could also legally and reasonably gain access to more advanced medical ninjutsu knowledge.

That would lay the groundwork for his future growth and for resources the nation might need.

Then using skill points to strengthen this path was feasible!

He focused his thoughts and decisively selected [First Aid: Beginner].

Invest 1 skill point to upgrade First Aid.

Having received a clear command, the number beside [Available Skill Points] on the floating data panel flickered from 2 to 1.

At the same time, the word Beginner after First Aid rapidly rearranged and changed.

[First Aid: Intermediate]

(Description: You are now capable of independently treating most severely wounded patients in a battlefield environment and performing emergency surgical intervention.)

The instant the text finished changing, a vast and systematic torrent of information flooded into the depths of Tianyi's mind!

Anatomy, physiology, pathology, pharmacology... countless frameworks of modern medical knowledge.

They became clearer and more organized, while somehow blending with the rudimentary knowledge of the human body he had encountered at the ninja academy.

In an instant, he gained a basic understanding of emergency trauma treatment, disinfection, hemostasis, bandaging, and immobilization.

He also gained a basic understanding of the human skeletal system, muscles, major organs, circulatory system, and nervous system.

He even began to understand the principles behind chakra's role in cell activation, tissue regeneration, and toxin neutralization.

Tianyi then lowered his head and looked again at his left shoulder, wrapped in bandages.

Through the Byakugan's perspective, compared with before, he could now see the condition inside the wound clearly.

He could determine the precise extent of the torn muscle fibers and the state of capillary regeneration.

He could also see the distribution and potency of the residual medical chakra.

He could even roughly judge how long it would take to heal completely at the current rate of recovery.

The feeling was like someone who had once only known how to operate simple tools by following an instruction manual—

Suddenly fully understanding the tools' design principles and material properties, and being able to apply that knowledge to more complicated situations.

Intermediate First Aid... combined with the Byakugan... Tianyi finally felt reassured.

This ability should already surpass the level of an ordinary Genin medical ninja, or even an average Chunin medical ninja, shouldn't it?

Then for the remaining 1 skill point, should he continue strengthening his medical skills, or improve some basic attribute that could save his life?

After weighing it over and over, he decided to keep the point for now.

For one thing, Intermediate medical skills should be enough to draw attention and accomplish his goal in the current camp environment.

For another, he still did not know how skill points could be obtained. If he needed one later, keeping it in reserve would be wise.

Or perhaps it would be more effective to use it when he needed a crucial skill.

He lay back down and closed his eyes to rest, but his mind began racing.

How should he demonstrate his medical abilities to the person in charge of the medical unit tomorrow?

And how should he explain such a sudden change?

If someone familiar asks when I learned medicine, how should I answer?

And those ANBU members were also a hidden danger. He needed to find a suitable powerful backer too.

Tsunade? Jiraiya? Or Orochimaru! Tianyi remembered the way Orochimaru licked his lips.

Forget it, forget it. Not Orochimaru.

Even if he was not that extreme yet, who knew what he would become in the future?

The night gradually deepened, and the campfires in the distance occasionally sent a few sparks bursting into the air.

Tianyi's breathing gradually steadied, while the injury in his left shoulder recovered rapidly.

After today, he was no longer merely a transmigrator fleeing for his life in panic. He now had hidden trump cards.

Nor was he simply a Hyuga Branch House Genin, left to be bullied by anyone.

Most importantly, I have my homeland backing me now!

In modern society, that would at least count as an iron rice bowl, right?
