Naruto: The Ninja World's Life Buyer

Chapter 30 Diagnosis

8 PM.

The basement of the orphanage.

Sosuke looked at the rabbit in front of him.

The rabbit's hind leg was twisted at an eerie angle, clearly broken. It was tied to a wooden board and trembled with pain.

"Lesson Two," Nono pushed up her glasses, "Diagnosis."

She did not let Sosuke perform the treatment directly.

"Understanding is the prerequisite for treatment."

"How many pieces of bone are broken? Are there any bone fragments embedded in the muscles? Are the nerves damaged?"

"If you blindly input Yang-attribute chakra to accelerate cell division, bone fragments will grow into the flesh, and in the end, this rabbit will have to have its limbs amputated."

Nonou grabbed Sousuke's hand and placed it above the rabbit's severed leg.

It hangs in mid-air by an inch.

"Don't look with your eyes."

"Use chakra to 'touch' it."

This sounds familiar.

Sosuke remembered the "wire sensing" that Genzo had taught him.

In the dark, the hardness and shape of an object are determined by the vibration of a steel wire.

The principle is universal.

The only difference is that the medium has changed from steel wire to chakra.

Sosuke closed his eyes.

Pale green chakra overflowed from his palm, like a layer of soft mist, enveloping the severed leg.

The feedback has come back.

It's very blurry.

It's like looking at flowers through a fog.

He could feel hard objects (bones) and soft objects (muscles), but where the two met, it was a chaotic mess.

"It's too rough."

Nonou's voice came through.

"Your control over chakra is not precise enough."

"I want to turn chakra into needles."

"Put them in one by one."

Sousuke frowned.

High level of mental concentration.

He was trying to compress chakra.

Sweat streamed down his forehead.

Ten minutes have passed.

The rabbit was still trembling.

In Sosuke's mind, the blurry image finally became a little clearer.

He saw a crack.

Tibial fracture.

"I see...it." Sousuke's voice was hoarse. "Tibial fracture, but not a comminuted fracture."

"Anything else?" Nonou asked.

"And..." Sosuke continued probing, "the surrounding muscles are congested and swollen."

"wrong."

A childish voice suddenly came from the corner.

It's Chiba.

He came over carrying that tattered medical book, and I don't know when he arrived.

He pointed to the area above the rabbit's knees.

"The ligaments here are torn."

Chiba's voice was soft, but his tone was firm.

"If you only treat the bone, it won't be able to jump again."

Sosuke was taken aback.

He re-examined the area.

This time, following Chiba's directions, he carefully scanned with his chakra.

really.

Beneath the swollen muscles, a delicate ligament was half torn.

"Such a keen intuition."

Sousuke opened his eyes and looked at Chiba.

"Have you made a diagnosis?"

"No." Chiba shook his head. "I just feel... something's not right. Its posture... if it were just a simple fracture, the leg would hang down a little lower."

genius.

This is a natural-born medical genius, possessing an instinctive understanding of biological structures.

Nono touched Chiba's head, her eyes filled with both pride and worry.

Chiba is very sensitive to these things.

She turned to look at Sosuke.

"This is the most difficult part of medical ninjutsu. It's also why many medical ninjas remain at the beginner level their entire lives."

"Healing wounds is easy, but restoring 'function' is difficult."

Sosuke nodded.

"Talent is something that makes people envious."

He was not ashamed of being outdone by a child who was only a few years old.

On the contrary, his eyes gleamed with the shrewdness of a businessman. When encountering technically skilled individuals superior to himself, there was no need for envy; only one thing needed to be done—

invest.

Sosuke took out 20,000 taels from his pocket.

Chiba.

He called out to the child who was about to retreat into the corner.

Chiba stopped in her tracks, looking at the money with a somewhat bewildered expression, then at Nono.

"This is for you."

Sosuke stuffed the money into Chiba's hand.

"Go buy books. Buy any medical books you want to read."

"If you've finished looking at it, or if you want to buy something more expensive, feel free to contact me anytime."

"Why are you giving me money?" Chiba's voice was soft, carrying a hint of wariness beyond his years.

"Because of your eyes."

Sosuke pointed to Chiba's reflective glasses.

"Your eyes can see things I can't. That's very valuable."

"When you grow up and learn even more powerful medical ninjutsu, just remember to teach me."

Chiba nodded, seemingly understanding but not quite.

But he held onto the 20,000 taels tightly.

In this orphanage, money means food, and it means the director doesn't have to work so hard.

Nono watched this scene unfold but did not stop it.

She knew that Chiba's talent would be wasted if it wasn't nurtured.

The orphanage couldn't provide Chiba with the resources she needed.

Unless Chiba is brought into the "Root" organization and receives professional training.

But that was definitely not what she wanted.

"It seems I not only taught a student, but also found a sponsor for Chiba," Nono said with a smile.

"Mutual benefit."

Sosuke stood up and dusted himself off.

"Today's lesson was very inspiring."

He bowed to Nonou.

"See you tomorrow."

……

early morning.

Waste treatment plant.

After practicing his throwing, Sosuke spaced out.

There was a mannequin directly in front of him.

The dummy was made of tattered burlap sacks and straw, with a rudimentary diagram of the human body's meridians drawn on it—he copied it from Nono's book.

"What are you looking at?"

Yuanzao took a sip of his drink, looking somewhat impatient.

"Looking for the breakpoint."

Sosuke held a shuriken in his hand, with a steel wire attached to the back.

"The book says that the meridians and nerves in the human body are intertwined."

"If the nerves are severed, the flow of chakra in the meridians will also be blocked."

"I'm wondering if there's a wiring method specifically designed for the hands used in 'hand seals'."

Yuanzao was stunned for a moment.

He put down the bottle and looked at Sosuke again with his cloudy eyes.

This kid's thinking is getting more and more insidious.

Normally, when ninjas use tool manipulation techniques, they think about how to slit throats or stab hearts.

But what this kid was thinking about was how to disable the opponent's hand seal ability.

"Wrist." Genzo pointed to the inside of his wrist. "The median nerve."

"And here too." He pointed to his elbow, "The ulnar nerve."

"With these two lines broken, my hands became like chicken claws. I couldn't even hold chopsticks properly, let alone form hand seals."

Sousuke nodded.

He drew two red circles on the mannequin's arm.

"So, a new topic."

Zongsuke stepped back ten meters.

"I want the wire to tie a knot in the air."

Tie a slipknot.

"Wrap it around your wrist, then tighten it."

Genzo chuckled.

"Do you think you're lassoing a horse?"

"This delicate operation requires using the reaction force to make the wire spring back and wrap around the target the instant it contacts the target."

"What's needed isn't strength, but a burst of energy."

Yuanzao picked up a tree branch.

"Look at my wrist."

He flung the branch out.

The branch did not hit the target directly, but grazed the dummy's wrist.

But in the instant it flew past, Genzo's wrist twitched three times rapidly.

The frequency is extremely high.

It looks like a bee flapping its wings.

The steel wire, subjected to the vibration in the air, actually coiled up like a snake and snapped around the dummy's wrist.

Yuanzao threw away the branch.

"This is an advanced technique of tool manipulation."

"Your hands, though calloused and not afraid of being cut, are too stiff and rigid."

"You need to soften your fingers."

Sosuke looked at his hands.

The calluses created by the medication, while providing protection, did indeed reduce the sensitivity of touch.

You can not have it both ways.

"Is there any way?" Sosuke asked.

"have."

Yuanzao pulled a glass marble out of his pocket.

"Take it."

"I usually play with it in my hands when I have nothing to do."

"You have to roll it back and forth between your five fingers without dropping it or stopping."

Sosuke took the marbles.

It's very slippery.

He tried rolling it on his fingertips.

Snapped.

It's gone.

My fingers are too stiff to coordinate properly.

"Practice it."

Yuanzao yawned.

"You'll be able to do it when you can use these calloused hands to play with this marble in a variety of ways."

Sosuke picked up the marble.

He now has another daily task.

In addition to the Three-Body Technique, shuriken throwing, and weapon manipulation, they now also play marbles.

But he was full of motivation.

Because he saw the power of that move.

If you can instantly lock the enemy's wrist and disable their hand seals, then when facing a ninjutsu-type ninja, he will no longer be a lamb to the slaughter.

this day.

In the waste treatment plant, besides the sound of shuriken cutting through the air, there was also the crisp sound of glass marbles hitting the ground.

again and again.

Until dusk.

Sosuke's fingers ached terribly, but he could still make the marble roll three times between his fingertips without it falling.

This is progress.

It is also a process of nerve endings remodeling.

His brain is developing a new set of fine motor skills.
