Chapter 77
Pharmacist Nonou
I just don't know why Orochimaru got involved in this.
He clearly remembered that during the Jonin Tournament in the original timeline, it seemed that apart from Dan Kato, no one else supported Tsunade.
Why has Orochimaru changed his mind now?
Most likely, things changed because of his arrival, but what exactly made him interested in this matter?
"What I'm about to do will affect more than just the village. The emergence of medical ninjas will definitely change the way wars are fought in the entire ninja world. However, for a new ninja profession to truly play its role, it requires a large number of manpower and financial resources, which is quite difficult."
Especially now, knowing the village as I do, there will definitely be a lot of resistance. With Orochimaru's help, this matter will get more attention and will go much more smoothly.
Tsunade answered softly.
After teaching Uchiha Genjutsu Healing Palm, she went to Orochimaru to discuss it for a while.
Even if he wasn't her own disciple, Tsunade wouldn't want to see such outstanding medical ninjutsu talent go to waste. As Orochimaru was Gen Uchiha's teacher, she naturally had to go and discuss it with him so as not to affect the normal improvement of his strength.
Ironically, this incident became the catalyst for their collaboration.
To be honest, this was also unexpected by Tsunade, because Orochimaru only studied the techniques he was truly interested in in depth, and only learned enough of the other techniques to be of sufficient use.
Orochimaru must have encountered another problem now, requiring more advanced and powerful medical ninjutsu, perhaps even beyond what his current medical ninjutsu can solve, which is why he has become so deeply involved.
Although Tsunade was interested in the problems Orochimaru encountered, she wouldn't deliberately ask unless he mentioned them. In any case, with Orochimaru's help, his amazing talent would definitely be of great assistance to her.
"Then, Lady Tsunade, I will have to trouble you to give me more guidance in the future."
Uchiha Genji was being polite, because apart from his superhuman strength and chakra scalpel, which he could learn directly from Tsunade's character card, he really had to rely on Tsunade to teach him other ninjutsu like Yin Extinction and Healing.
"You're being too polite with me. Come on over. There are new wounded soldiers at the camp every day, so you'll have plenty of opportunities to practice."
Tsunade pointed to an injured ninja who was being carried in from outside.
"He's in your hands now, Nonou. Go and assist Gen."
"Yes, Lady Tsunade! Gen-senpai, there are two more people. Please come with me; there are still empty beds here."
A blonde girl wearing round, black-rimmed glasses jogged over and greeted them.
After establishing a temporary battlefield medical zone, Tsunade selected and recruited a dozen or so genin with talent in medical ninjutsu through Lake Biwa. They were trained as the first batch of medical ninja seeds. Now they can help treat some simple injuries, and in the future, they can be trained to become the backbone of the medical ninja system.
This girl, Nono, who is a year younger than Uchiha Gen and in the same class as Namikaze Minato, is one of them. Moreover, she is one of the more outstanding ones among these dozen or so people. Uchiha Gen has also had several conversations with this girl in the past month.
In the original timeline, within a few years, this girl would have joined Danzo's Root organization, becoming a "walking priestess" and a top-tier intelligence ninja in the ninja world. She would have infiltrated multiple times to deliver crucial intelligence and made significant contributions during the Third Shinobi World War.
Soon, the injured Konoha ninja was carried to the bed.
"Uchiha Gen? Orochimaru-sama's disciple? Does he also know medical ninjutsu?"
The other Chunin who escorted his companion here glanced at Uchiha Gen a few times with some suspicion, inwardly grumbling, but ultimately remained silent and chose to believe him.
He didn't believe in Gen Uchiha, but in Tsunade.
If Tsunade believes that Genji Uchiha can cure it, then he definitely can.
Yakushi Nonou busied herself helping Uchiha Gen.
First, the body was immobilized, then the foreign objects in the wound were removed and cleaned. When a faint green light shone in Uchiha Genchu's hand, and the wounded ninja's condition was stabilized in just a few minutes, the Chunin finally felt relieved.
He was a discerning person and could tell that Uchiha Gen's medical ninjutsu was quite good, almost on par with Sarutobi Biwako's on the other side.
A dozen minutes later.
The green light dimmed, and the condition of the injured ninjas visibly improved. Some of the more serious wounds were now regrowing flesh and blood. Although they had not fully recovered, they had already escaped the state of serious injury.
As for further treatment, that's beyond what the Palm Cultivation Technique can achieve.
The main principle of the Palm Healing Technique is to use chakra with Yang Release properties to stimulate the cells around the wound to regenerate rapidly and restore flesh and blood. This will passively consume a portion of the patient's own life force. Although the healing effect is strong, it also has an upper limit.
"Thank you, Gen-kun."
The Chunin breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing his companion's condition.
"It's alright. The injury is mostly under control. You just need some rest. Just make sure to take your medication on time and get enough nutrition. You can remove the bandage in five days, and you should be fully recovered within ten days."
Uchiha Gen, with bandages wrapped around his face, gave instructions to the Chunin.
Ninjas may seem to have high offense and low defense, but their bodies are strengthened through years of training and the daily use of chakra. While they may not be able to withstand swords, they are much stronger than ordinary people and their recovery speed is not much slower.
Gen Uchiha spent the entire day working in the medical area.
Already somewhat famous as Orochimaru's disciple and a rising star among the Uchiha clan, his reputation spread once again.
Many Konoha ninjas knew of this person, who possessed superb medical ninjutsu and was one of the few ninjas besides Tsunade who had mastered advanced medical ninjutsu.
That night.
As a military fortress, the camp remained brightly lit.
Holding a ninjutsu scroll, Uchiha Gen arrived at a building in the center of the camp and found Orochimaru.
Orochimaru wasn't in good shape at the moment; he was covered in dust and dirt, his breathing was slightly unstable, and there were several bloodstains on his body.
"Orochimaru-sensei, what are you doing...?"
"We encountered that old woman from Sunagakure while on a mission, but we couldn't beat her, so we ran back."
Orochimaru, leaning back in his chair, spoke in a low, hoarse voice.
"Chiyo?"
"Yes, it's him. Luckily, he wasn't poisoned, otherwise it would have been very troublesome. It's fortunate that he only suffered minor injuries."
Orochimaru and his group have not yet earned the title of the Legendary Sannin. Although they are top-tier ninjas approaching the Kage level, they are still a little short of reaching their peak.
