Snake's Surprise, and the Invitation to the Advanced Medical Class

"Um?"

Mikami Yu glanced up at Obito, thinking to himself, "Why are you blushing like a teapot?" "Oh, you mean pulling you out of the quicksand? It was just a side thing. After all, Minato-sensei was trapped back then, so having more people meant more strength, and naturally, we had to get you out."

"Is that so?"

"Yes."

Yu Mikami nodded.

At that time, that Earth Release ninja had already been severely injured by his Great Fireball from behind. Anyone could have easily subdued him, so saving Obito and saving Nohara Rin were not much different; it just depended on who was closer.

Conversely, if the opponent still has the ability to fight, he will definitely save Obito.

Obito opened his mouth, but in the end, he simply straightened his chest and said solemnly, "Just this once! I promise I won't fall for it again next time, and I'll even repay you for saving me! Watch me!"

"Oh, good luck then."

……

Two days later.

The weary caravan arrived at Wildfire City, a major town on the southwestern border of the Land of Fire.

The geographical records in the Konoha Library mention this town, which is said to have taken shape during the Warring States period and developed over several decades to reach its current size. Dozens of Konoha ninjas and some militia are stationed in the town year-round, tasked with patrolling the border and suppressing bandits.

At the camp gate.

Akiyama Hayato, a middle-aged ninja with an old scar on his face and wearing a Konoha Jonin vest, greeted Hebi Ji and Namikaze Minato.

"Lord Minato, Lord Serpent, you've finally arrived!"

Akiyama Hayato's voice was hoarse, tinged with weariness: "The situation at the border has been very tense lately. Small groups of troops from the Land of Rivers are constantly harassing us, the Rain Ninja are like groundhogs, and the Sand Village is becoming increasingly audacious; patrols are encountering battles almost every day..."

"The original medical team also had members injured, and there was a severe shortage of manpower, which is why we urgently requested assistance from the village this time."

"Don't worry, Snake Ci is an experienced Special Jonin, and also a disciple of Lord Biwako. He will definitely be able to treat the wounded properly."

Minato Namikaze said.

When you're outside, you can't see very clearly.

However, once inside the camp, Yu Mikami and the others discovered that there were more wounded than they had imagined. In a large space, there were about thirty hospital beds, most of which were occupied. Some had their limbs blown off by explosive tags, while others were covered in blood from being slashed by swords and knives... all groaning in pain.

"My legs... ah—!"

"Hold on! The medical ninjas are on their way!"

"No, the bleeding from the wound won't stop; he'll die soon if this continues!"

"..."

Sheci frowned.

She clearly hadn't expected the situation to be so dire.

Judging from the current situation, about a quarter of the Konoha ninjas at the Wildfire City camp are injured.

Of course, these wounded included a small number of civilians and ninjas brought in from other camps, but the sheer number still illustrates the severity of the situation at the border. It's estimated that Konoha will soon have to send reinforcements to strengthen the defenses.

"Change clothes immediately, clean everyone's wounds, categorize them according to the severity of the injuries, and prepare for surgery for the most serious ones..."

It was clear that the snake had begun to issue commands.

Nohara Rin hesitated for a moment, then subconsciously looked at Mikami Yu.

Mikami Yu understood and immediately took the initiative to say to Snake Ci, "Snake Ci-senpai, Rin and I have learned basic medical knowledge and 'healing techniques'. If you need any help, please feel free to ask."

"Um?"

Snake Compassion also remembered this, and a look of satisfaction appeared on her face: "Good child, we're short-handed. Come with me to change your clothes, and let's get to work right away!"

"Wait a moment……"

Obito quickly raised his hand: "Hey, what about me? I'm also an auditor in the medical training program! My name is Uchiha Obito!"

Snake Kindness: "You don't need to go."

"?"

soon.

Yuichi Mikami and the others all put on white coats.

Snake Ci quickly assigned tasks: she and several senior medical ninjas were responsible for the surgery on the seriously wounded; Mikami Yu and Nohara Rin, along with several other genin, were responsible for taking stock of the wounded, classifying them according to their severity and urgency, and providing basic cleaning, hemostasis, bandaging, and simple treatment to the lightly wounded.

This job isn't too difficult.

Mikami Yu and Nohara Rin exchanged a glance, calmed themselves down, and began to examine, register, stop the bleeding, and bandage...

"Open fracture of the left arm with massive bleeding! Surgery is needed as soon as possible!!"

"Multiple lacerations on the chest, the wounds are deep but have not damaged major organs... Stop the bleeding and observe the situation. If the condition worsens, send the patient to the operating room immediately!"

"Minor burns and abrasions should be treated on-site..."

After the initial tension subsided, the situation gradually calmed down.

Mikami Yu cleaned and disinfected the wound of the Chunin with the injured arm, applied hemostatic powder, and then skillfully raised both hands to activate a ninjutsu:

[Target selected: Healing Technique]

【practise】

A soft green light, imbued with the breath of life, emanated from Mikami Yu's palm, then transformed into a gentle healing force, seeping into the injured person's skin and flesh, stimulating the muscles and blood vessels to slowly undulate, connect, and heal...

During this process, tiny specks of dust were released from Mikami Yu's chakra and quietly spread around the wound. After the surface wound was stitched up, Mikami Yu could clearly "feel" a faint but continuous life energy permeating around the wound.

—Special Features: Healing Brand

This mark will continue to nourish the wound in the days to come, accelerating deep healing until the wound is fully restored.

"Okay, next one."

One, two, three...

Mikami Yu's movements became increasingly skilled; he stopped the bleeding, cleaned the wound, set the bone, sutured, and bandaged—all in one smooth motion. The healed wounded soldiers felt a cool and refreshing sensation from their wounds, and even their fatigue lessened considerably, prompting them to praise him.

"what?"

Snake Ci, who had just finished treating a serious injury, came over, intending to give Mikami Yu and Nohara Rin some pointers. However, when she saw several wounded people who had just been treated by Mikami Yu and were waiting to be transferred, she paused slightly and keenly sensed something was amiss.

She immediately knelt down and carefully examined the knife wound on the leg of one of the wounded soldiers. She gently pressed it a few times with her fingers through the bandage, then peeled back a corner of the bandage to examine the flesh beneath the stitches, her face showing surprise: "Yu, did you treat these wounded soldiers? How did you do it?"

"Oh, right."

Mikami Yu nodded, calmly wiping the blood from his hands: "Basic debridement and suturing, combined with healing techniques. Is there a problem, Serpent-senpai?"

"...No problem, just a pleasant surprise."

Snake Compassion raised her head, her gaze intense: "Yu, your healing techniques are truly outstanding, far exceeding the level of ordinary genin. Even the trainees in the training program can't achieve such therapeutic effects... Would you be interested in joining the 'Advanced Medical Class'?"

"Advanced medical class?"

"Yes."

Snake Ci explained, "That's where Konoha's top medical ninjas are trained. They are personally instructed by Lady Tsunade and Lady Sarutobi Biwako, and they teach even more advanced medical techniques and knowledge. I was awarded the rank of Special Jonin after graduating from that class."

"If you'd like, I can write you a letter of recommendation. With the exceptional healing talent you've demonstrated, I believe the village will value you highly."
