Chapter 102: Monstrous Talent
"Sensei, I've learned those jutsu," Kaida said as he entered the office.
"WHAT?!" Mitsuru was shocked by what she heard, but she composed herself and said, "Kaida, you shouldn't rush. Take your time. Only when you can replicate what I did can we say you've mastered those jutsu."
"I know, Sensei. That's why I came here after I was able to replicate what you did," Kaida replied.
"So you're saying you learned those four jutsu in just seven hours? Do you even realize how ridiculous that sounds? It takes ninjas months, sometimes years, to master these jutsu. Once they do, they're considered support medics and can start treating patients. And you're telling me you did that in seven hours and expect me to believe it?" Mitsuru said, a little angrily, unable to believe someone could be this talented.
"I'm not lying, Sensei. I was able to learn them with the help of Shadow Clones," Kaida explained.
"How can three or four Shadow Clones help you learn the jutsu this quickly?" Mitsuru asked, knowing Kaida was just a genin. Even three or four Shadow Clones would be a lot for him. But since he was a prodigy and from the Senju clan, Mitsuru thought he might be able to manage that many clones.
"Umm, Sensei, I can make more than four Shadow Clones," Kaida said shyly.
"Oh? How many can you make?" Mitsuru asked.
"Around eighty-five if I try my hardest," Kaida replied.
...
"How the hell can you make that many Shadow Clones? That's more than twice what I can make! Come here," Mitsuru demanded, standing up after hearing his answer.
She walked over to Kaida and placed her hand on his back to check his chakra reserves.
'What the hell? I knew the Senju had more chakra than most clans, but how can this brat have *this* much chakra? He could easily be considered a Jonin, maybe even an elite Jonin, based on his reserves—and he still has over twenty years to increase his chakra. This world is too unfair,' Mitsuru thought.
*Cough.*
"So, you've actually mastered all those jutsu. Let me check your progress," Mitsuru said, composing herself once again.
Kaida nodded and took out all the scrolls Mitsuru had given him, thinking, 'Sensei looked kind of cute when she got flustered. She can only make 40-45 Shadow Clones, but I guess my chakra reserves really are something.'
After that, Kaida began performing the medical jutsu.
For the first three jutsu, he perfectly replicated everything Mitsuru had done, like making bandages from soil, sand, water, grass, and leaves, stopping blood, and using the oxygen supply jutsu on the mouse.
"Good, these are perfect enough to use. Now, the last one," Mitsuru said, nodding her head.
Kaida nodded and passed his chakra into the last scroll.
*Poof.*
A poisoned mouse appeared from the scroll. Kaida used his Sharingan to divide his chakra in a 70:30 ratio, with 70% yang chakra. Then, with precise and efficient control, he used his chakra to push out the infected blood and poison from the mouse's body.
After most of the poison was out, Kaida used Healing Palm Jutsu to close the wound.
*Sigh.*
Kaida sighed in relief. After seven hours of practice, the strain on his Sharingan was high. Even though he hadn't kept it activated the entire time and took breaks, the total time it had been active was about an hour and a half.
"You still left some poison inside. If you were any normal ninja training to become a low-level medical ninja, I might have considered this jutsu mastered. But since you're my disciple, I can't overlook that mistake. You need to work on this jutsu more and try to remove all the infected blood and poison from the major infected area. You can extract some normal blood too if it means getting more poison out. Removing a bit of normal blood isn't a problem," Mitsuru said after taking a closer look at the mouse.
"Yes, Sensei," Kaida replied, understanding his mistake. He had been too focused on not removing any uninfected blood, which caused him to leave some poison inside.
"Can I try again, Sensei?" Kaida asked.
"Go ahead," Mitsuru replied.
Kaida once again passed his chakra into the scroll, and another poisoned mouse appeared. He performed the jutsu again, but this time, he aimed to extract as much poison as possible.
This time, he was able to remove most of the poison, but the amount of blood that came out with it was concerning.
"Good, you managed to get out most of the poison this time, but I'm sure you noticed the other problem," Mitsuru said.
"Yes, Sensei. I'll keep working on this jutsu until I master it," Kaida said.
"No need. I was going to give you two weeks to master these jutsu, but you managed to learn them in just one day. There's no need to rush like this. I can see you've put a lot of strain on your chakra reserves and your eyes, so take some rest and continue tomorrow," Mitsuru advised.
"Okay, Sensei. Should I go home?" Kaida asked.
"You can, but given your speed, there's something I need to tell you. Initially, I planned to tell you after two weeks when you mastered the jutsu, but since you did it in one day, this is the perfect time," Mitsuru said.
"If you learn this jutsu, you'll be ready to treat normal patients in the hospital. But for that, you'll also need basic knowledge of bandaging and some general medical knowledge. You want to treat normal patients, right?" Mitsuru asked.
"Yes, Sensei," Kaida replied.
"So, you'll have to learn these things too. For basic medical care and bandaging, you can ask any nurse. For medicines and other knowledge, you'll need to study at least eight books from the hospital library. After you learn these things and the jutsu, you'll have to pass a test. It's usually an interview where a specialist medical ninja checks if you're ready to treat patients. So, practice both the jutsu and the theory," Mitsuru explained.
"Okay, Sensei," Kaida said.
"You can ask the receptionist for help if you need anything. Just tell them I sent you," Mitsuru said before returning to her paperwork.
"Thank you, Sensei," Kaida said.
