The First Medical Team's New Member
Land of Rice Fields, Orochimaru's base, in a wide Training Grounds.
Tiger-Rabbit-Dog-Sheep-Dragon—
Wind Release: Wind Cutter Technique
"Whoosh!"
A bandaged youth moved his fingers, looking at the shredded dummy in the distance, his expression deep in thought.
"Orochimaru-sama, how is the adaptation to the new body?" Yakushi Kabuto emerged from the shadows.
The bandaged youth—Orochimaru—looked up and said, "The Chakra control has been permanently reduced. The Chakra extracted from my previous body had a certain amount of uncontrollable natural energy mixed in. Repeated hand seals under the influence of the seal caused the natural energy to spread to my mental plane..."
His tone was surprisingly normal, a thoughtful look on his face. After a moment, he said, "Kabuto, your guess was correct."
"It's a kind of, or rather, five very strange natural energies..." he murmured.
When researching immortality and deeper levels of power, Orochimaru, the cold-blooded pervert, was quite normal.
After a long while, he came back to his senses and asked, "What about that body?"
"Extremely dangerous." Yakushi Kabuto rarely used such words. "When Chakra is injected to control the body for hand seals, it can still trigger the effects of the seal. After a large amount of natural energy is injected, just being nearby can affect the operation of ordinary Chakra."
The two left the Training Grounds one after the other and arrived at a laboratory deep within the base.
The body that 'Orochimaru' had previously used was floating in a tank filled with a large amount of light blue liquid. Its skin was colorful and mottled, giving it a strange beauty. Empty, rainbow-colored eye sockets 'looked' out through the tank.
"With the addition of excessive natural energy, its regenerative ability is terrifying." Yakushi Kabuto introduced. "It must be suppressed with special inhibitors to suppress its activity. Once it is separated from the inhibitors, these natural energies will continue to increase. Once the concentration reaches a certain standard, it will be difficult to destroy."
"The inside of this body has been completely dissolved, leaving only an empty shell, but it maintains a delicate balance with the seal as a fulcrum. Even under the action of inhibitors, those natural energies are still increasing at a very slow rate..."
"Orochimaru-sama, if this thing is not handled carefully, it may destroy the world."
He said this, but his eyes were full of interest, as if it were not an embryo with the ability to destroy the world, but some kind of treasure.
Orochimaru listened, his breathing quickening, and slowly said, "In other words, it is already immortal..."
"Isn't it?"
"If you abandon everything and live purely as a dead thing, like an underground mine." Yakushi Kabuto pushed up his glasses.
"Yes."
...
Konoha Village, Medical Team building, new office.
"...Although you haven't learned medical ninjutsu yet, your Chakra control level is definitely not a problem." The protagonist's Mystical Palm Technique has not been shown.
"Welcome to the youngest member of the Medical Team."
Medical Ninja Bai Cao patted Lin Ke's shoulder affectionately, "I told you that you are most suitable for the Medical Team."
"This is a greeting gift." Saying that, he took out a scroll from the pocket of his white uniform and placed it in his hand, saying, "We are not very busy here. If you have any questions, you can ask someone at any time. Most of the time, someone will be on duty in the building. If you have any medical ideas that require funding, you can apply to me or Han Fang."
"Thank you, Senior." Lin Ke thanked him after accepting the scroll.
Konoha Village originally had Konoha Village Hospital and specialized Ninja Doctors. The Medical Team is mainly a special unit, which means that when a real fight breaks out, they have to go to the battlefield. When something like the Chunin Exams or advanced missions (such as chasing Sasuke) occurs, the Medical Team ninjas also have to go to the front line.
Therefore, daily treatment has nothing to do with the Medical Team. During non-mission times, the Medical Team mainly does medical skills, drug innovation, and research on diseases and the human body. Rather than a medical institution, it is more like an officially permitted medical laboratory.
Occasionally, some members are selected from the Genin at the request of the village, and some tricky injuries that the hospital cannot solve are treated. The rest of the time is quite loose.
As a Jonin in the Medical Team, Bai Cao certainly couldn't be idle. After welcoming Lin Ke, he turned and left.
Medical research is quite time-consuming. Being able to take some time to guide a newcomer is considered a sign that he is optimistic about the newcomer.
It's easier than I thought...
Lin Ke stood in his small office, not knowing what to do. He thought he would be pulled to do all kinds of things on his first day of work—
Just like when he first entered the workplace in his previous life.
Unexpectedly, he only met the Medical Team leader Han Fang briefly, showed his Chakra control ability, answered some medical questions, and became a member of the First Medical Team on the spot.
Perhaps Nara Shikaku also contributed? Anyway, the whole process was extremely smooth. As soon as he was approved, Bai Cao pulled him around the Medical Team building.
Cafeteria, laboratory, team leader's office, library, specimen room...
After turning around for more than ten minutes, he received a white work uniform and a lot of books, and then was sent to his small office on the far left of the first floor.
There was only a desk here, an empty little bookshelf, and even the flower pot only contained soil. It was unclear whether something had been planted and died, or if nothing had been planted at all. Overall, it was bright and clean, well-swept, but there was nothing else.
"Knock, knock~" A knock sounded on the door.
Lin Ke put the scroll, which hadn't even warmed up, on the desk. Without even closing the door, he said, "Come in."
"A newbie?" A young man with a curious expression poked his head in, then opened the door and stood there, saying, "Well, I'm Nan Shi, a member of the First Medical Team."
Lin Ke introduced himself, "Lin Ke, I'm..."
"The new member of the First Medical Team."
"Of course, you're right next door to me." Nan Shi seemed quite straightforward, with a relaxed smile on his face. "If you have any questions, you can come to the room next door to find me."
"See ya (Gana)." He waved his hand casually and left.
Looks like they're all pretty good people...
Lin Ke walked over and closed the door, sat down in the chair, and stayed in the office for a long while. He flipped through the books that had been given to him, all of which were related to medical knowledge. Even the scroll Bai Cao gave him was related to medical knowledge, with no medical ninjutsu.
If he wanted to learn medical ninjutsu, he would have to go to the library to read about it, and it wasn't allowed to be taken out.
Well then, I'll study seriously for a while. He calmed his impetuous heart and made a decision.
