Chapter 20: Acquiring Medical Knowledge!

As they left the Hokage building, an ANBU member wearing an animal mask appeared in front of Uchiha Takashi and his companions.

"This is the secret medicine!"

"This is the chakra refining technique!"

"And this is a borrowing certificate, which you can use to borrow related books from the hospital library!"

The ANBU handed the items to the three of them.

After they each stored their items, the ANBU warned, "Neither the secret techniques nor the knowledge can be taught to others!"

The cold tone made it clear that this was no joke.

Due to the importance placed on this by the major ninja villages, the leakage of ninjutsu was indeed rare.

After the warning, the ANBU ninja turned and left.

"I'm heading to the hospital first!"

Uchiha Takashi waved the certificate in his hand and left.

Medical knowledge isn't the same as medical ninjutsu; it can't be fully contained in a single scroll and requires systematic learning.

The hospital!

It's essentially Konoha Village's money-making tool.

Many nobles and merchants come here, attracted by its reputation.

Thanks to their contributions, Konoha Village has been able to train so many medical ninjas.

Every official medical ninja is worth more than their weight in gold. Even on the battlefield, medical ninjas usually work in the camp or rear and are protected.

Uchiha Takashi's desire to learn medical ninjutsu wasn't a spur-of-the-moment decision; it was because he knew his chakra nature.

Earth, Water, Fire, Yang!

Though not as impressive as the Third Hokage or Kakashi, who possess all chakra natures, it still offers a decent potential for development.

Yang nature! That's Uchiha Takashi's confidence in learning medical ninjutsu.

Without Yang nature, it's impossible to learn medical ninjutsu.

Compared to the five main natures, Yin and Yang natures are much rarer.

The Uchiha clan mostly possesses Yin nature, while the Senju clan has the most Yang nature.

However, with the Senju clan nearly extinct, there aren't many with this nature.

If not for this limitation, even if medical ninjutsu were difficult to learn and expensive, Konoha, the leading village among the five great ninja villages, would have more than just a hundred medical ninjas.

Before long, Uchiha Takashi arrived at a large, elongated building with the character "医" (Medical) above the entrance.

Villagers could be seen coming and going.

The pungent smell of disinfectant immediately identified the place.

In terms of medical conditions, Konoha is undoubtedly the strongest.

Even the capital of the Land of Fire can't compare in medical conditions.

It's not about hardware! It's the "software" that can't compare.

Because there, medical ninjas don't exist.

In medical ninjutsu, Konoha is far ahead, as this field was organized and pioneered by Tsunade.

Soon, Uchiha Takashi found an administrative ninja.

Administrative ninjas specialize in administrative tasks; some don't even have chakra, which isn't surprising.

Originally, if lying low and passing the assessment wasn't an option, Uchiha Takashi wanted to become such a ninja.

But because of Danzo's interference, he lost that opportunity.

Danzo really is a menace! While thinking this, Uchiha Takashi wore a warm smile and asked the administrative ninja in front of him:

"Senior, I'd like to borrow books related to medical ninjutsu. How should I proceed?"

What he couldn't understand was why other transmigrators always seemed to have a sour face when asking for favors.

Maybe it's because those transmigrators don't see others as people.

Anyway, until Uchiha Takashi has the power to overturn the table, he doesn't mind following this world's rules.

Perhaps that's the difference between anime and reality.

"Looking to learn medical ninjutsu?" The middle-aged man in a ninja vest first glanced at the certificate in Uchiha Takashi's hand, then explained, "You can borrow basic books, but medical ninjutsu can't be taken out. The hospital also has free training rooms…!"

Konoha Hospital is a money pit, not just because of salaries.

That's just a small part! The main cost is the resources needed to train medical ninjas.

Not to mention other aspects, just the resources for practice can bankrupt an ordinary ninja.

But the certificate in Uchiha Takashi's hand allows him to use some resources in the training room.

Without asking, one might not know these unspoken rules.

### Chapter 20: Acquiring Medical Knowledge!

"Thank you, senpai!" Uchiha Takashi expressed his gratitude before heading to the library.

The library within the hospital is only accessible to internal personnel.

Just like the library in the Ninja Academy, which is only open to academy students.

Knowledge is incredibly precious in the ninja world, not to mention ninjutsu, which is considered top-secret.

To prevent the leakage of ninjutsu, ninja villages would even go to war.

The library is located on the rooftop.

Although there were no guards in sight, Uchiha Takashi knew very well that this was because he had the credentials; without them, there was no way he could get up here.

If it were that easy to enter, medical ninjutsu wouldn't be so limited to a few practitioners.

This is only possible in Konoha.

In other ninja villages, obtaining medical ninjutsu is no easier than acquiring forbidden techniques.

The massive library was filled with rows upon rows of bookshelves.

**[Detailed Explanation of Human Meridians!]**

**[Battlefield First Aid Handbook!]**

**[Medical Ninjutsu: From Beginner to Mastery!]**

...

See, this is the knowledge related to medical ninjutsu.

Although Uchiha Takashi had already read quite a bit, there were many books not available in the school library, which he could only learn from here.

An ordinary person might instinctively shy away from so much information.

But not Uchiha Takashi! Because what he saw wasn't obscure and difficult knowledge, but a means of self-preservation and a guarantee for a laid-back future.

Living a laid-back life has always been his dream, and it hasn't changed.

However, to achieve this dream, he needs power, and power requires effort and hard work.

At the same time, he wasn't without his cheat methods.

Without them, no matter how much of a genius he was, he couldn't have quickly mastered the basic knowledge from the school library.

Clarity Elixir! Another byproduct of his research.

It's just that he always makes it on the spot and never keeps it in stock.

Its effect is quite ordinary.

Calm and focus!

Many ninja clans have similar items, such as incense, rituals... various methods can achieve this, so it's not surprising.

But the Clarity Elixir that Uchiha Takashi concocted is several times more effective than those methods.

It's just that it puts a strain on the mind, and the ingredients are hard to gather (he previously didn't have the time or place to collect materials), otherwise, he would definitely use it continuously.

You could say, if brains aren't enough, you can always spend money to make up for it.

In terms of brains, he naturally couldn't compare to geniuses like Orochimaru, but with the tools he created by spending money, it's not like he has no chance of catching up.

Besides these basic knowledge, there are three D-rank medical ninjutsu he can learn.

Hemostasis Technique, Healing Technique, and Detoxification Technique!

The Palm Healing Technique seen in the anime is considered an A-rank ninjutsu.

Only medical jōnin can master it.

In other words, mastering this ninjutsu allows one to directly advance to jōnin without any assessment.

The reason is simple.

This A-rank ninjutsu is too complex, and medical ninjas are too scarce, which is why this rule exists.

Just know that less than a handful of people in the entire Konoha have mastered the Palm Healing Technique.

Uchiha Takashi didn't rush to learn medical ninjutsu.

The reason is simple: he hasn't even mastered the basic knowledge yet, and trying to learn directly...

Does he think he has protagonist-level luck?

So he picked out ten books to take back and study.

The borrowing process was smooth, and with his credentials, he could register and take the books.

Ten dictionary-thick books are just the introductory knowledge for medical ninjas, not to mention that learning advanced ninjutsu requires even more. It's clear how difficult this path is, and it's no wonder so few are willing to become medical ninjas.

However, Uchiha Takashi is confident that he can learn these in a short time and step into the field of medical ninjutsu.

He doesn't even need to master medical ninjutsu; just this knowledge alone will yield significant benefits.

As he was leaving with the books, something unexpected happened.
