Chapter 33
Hemostasis
A faint smile immediately appeared on Tsunade's face.
Clearly, Gen Uchiha's answer pleased her.
Then, those bright and beautiful eyes turned their gaze to the test paper that Uchiha Gen had made, and quickly scanned it.
Have you studied any related medical knowledge before?
Tsunade suddenly asked.
"I only learned about human anatomy in class, and I know which parts of the body are most effective for killing, and how to perform emergency bandaging when I am injured and bleeding on the battlefield."
Gen Uchiha answered truthfully.
"It seems Orochimaru was right when he said you have a talent for learning theoretical knowledge."
Tsunade nodded slightly and put down the test paper.
"Basically all correct. At least every answer is a standard answer derived from the teaching materials I gave you. Although it will definitely be different in actual practice due to the circumstances, I am quite satisfied. Come with me. This afternoon I will tell you about the subsequent training methods for medical ninjutsu and prepare some materials. After I am gone, you can study on your own, but as before, leave all your insights from the learning process."
Soon after, Gen Uchiha and Tsunade left the room and went to another place filled with medical equipment.
After folding and arranging things, Tsunade set up a table and then hurriedly ran out.
Not long after, he came in carrying a rabbit by its ears.
"I just bought a rabbit, so I'll use it as a teaching aid today. Watch carefully, today I'm going to teach you the most basic and practical hemostasis technique. This technique is only C-rank in difficulty and doesn't require any particularly special chakra. Pay attention!"
Tsunade's style, from childhood to old age, has always been so decisive and efficient; she started demonstrating as soon as she entered.
"On the battlefield, anesthesia is often not used when using this technique to avoid affecting subsequent combat effectiveness. However, since we are teaching, the necessary anesthesia process is still required to prevent this rabbit from moving around and affecting the teaching. Of course, if your perception is sensitive enough and you have mastered an A-rank medical ninjutsu called Chakra Scalpel, you can also directly sever the nerves around the wound. However, that is still a long way off for you. Let's start with the basics first."
Tsunade took out a reagent from the side and used a syringe to draw a tube of anesthetic into it.
"The formula for this anesthetic was mentioned in the exam paper you just wrote. I won't go into the details of how to prepare it. First, we do this..."
After the needle pierced the ear vein, Tsunade began to instruct Gen Uchiha to judge the rabbit's condition by observing its corneal reflex and muscle relaxation, based on the rabbit's reactions.
Next, the hair was removed, and then a small incision was made to demonstrate the details of the hemostasis technique.
Uchiha Gen had already quietly opened his Sharingan, the tomoe in his eyes rotating, clearly capturing every movement of Tsunade.
The Sharingan needs to reach the two tomoe stage to be considered a clone eye, but even with only one tomoe, it still has a decent effect on replicating action-type techniques. When it comes to the direction of chakra, it's better than nothing and still has some use.
Within seconds, the bleeding from the rabbit's wounds had stopped.
"After that, bandages are usually used. The tightness of the bandage depends on the severity of the injury and the effectiveness of hemostasis. The wound can also be sutured before hemostasis is applied to enhance the hemostasis effect. This can also reduce the difficulty of applying hemostasis and reduce the risk of the wound reopening. Suturing is generally necessary when dealing with large incisions."
Tsunade quickly picked up the scalpel next to her and made a long cut on the rabbit's body.
"Like this."
This rabbit is obviously a bit pitiful, because after receiving Tsunade's demonstration, it still has to go through Gen Uchiha's practical training.
Tsunade's skills were extremely high. Apart from losing a little blood, the rabbit was healed on the spot by Tsunade's medical ninjutsu after the demonstration.
However, when it came to the actual training with Uchiha Gen, things became much more complicated.
Even during the second experiment, Gen Uchiha accidentally increased his chakra output and burned his wound—although this could be considered a form of hemostasis.
"Try again."
Tsunade seemed to have noticed something and frowned.
At this moment, Uchiha Gen also had a sudden thought. He remembered that in the original timeline, when Sarada was demonstrating how to treat dead fish to Sakura, she seemed to have gone even further than he had, directly grilling the fish.
Having read through the original manga several times, and considering my own experiences over the years in the Naruto world, I don't think I've ever heard of any Uchiha who is skilled in medical ninjutsu.
Is it because of the chakra nature?
Medical ninjutsu is ultimately a form of Yang Release ninjutsu. If the Yang aspect of chakra cannot function, other properties will naturally manifest.
Both he and Sarada are Uchiha, and Yin Release and Fire Release account for a large proportion of their chakra attributes. Even though everyone has both Yin and Yang, the Sharingan is the representative bloodline of Yin Release. When the nature of Yin Release overwhelms the nature of Yang Release, the nature of Fire Release will naturally begin to appear.
The fact that he didn't roast the rabbit directly shows that he has excellent control over his chakra.
With that thought in mind, Gen Uchiha removed the character card of young Madara.
[Uchiha Madara (young) has been removed.]
Sakura Haruno (Ninja Academy) is equipped!
Since this wasn't the first time equipping this character card, no recruitment animation appeared.
Uchiha Gen felt that the strength of his body and chakra had decreased by several percent, but he also vaguely grasped something else.
"Yes, Lady Tsunade."
Gen Uchiha used a scalpel to make a small incision on the other side of the rabbit's body, then the green light in his palm flickered and he pressed it onto the rabbit's wound.
This time, the hemostasis technique was much more effective than before.
Although it was far inferior to Tsunade's, after a few minutes of loosening, some scabs had already appeared on the edges of the wound.
Gen Uchiha breathed a sigh of relief.
This can truly be described as a situation where, after seemingly reaching a dead end, a new path opens up before you do.
Fortunately, it worked.
I originally thought that after I had basically digested Sakura Haruno's abilities and drawn the character card of young Madara, this card could be put away and gather dust in the warehouse except when I was studying the theory. I didn't expect it to have another use now.
Upon seeing this, Tsunade's brows relaxed, realizing that her previous guess had been wrong.
"Not bad. Your foundation is solid enough, and your chakra control is also quite good. I can't say how far you'll go in the future, but at least you can learn most of the basic medical ninjutsu without any problem."
