RNP Chapters 66-67 Free Clinic
Chapters 66-67 Free Clinic
In the afternoon, Xingyuan Qianshuo devoted himself to the preparations for the free clinic event.
This free clinic was initiated and promoted by Hiruzen Sarutobi in the name of Hokage, with the aim of demonstrating the warm care of the "Will of Fire".
As the organizer, Konoha Hospital is responsible for many specific tasks, including venue setup, personnel allocation, and patient reception and treatment.
As the submitter of the report, Xingyuan Qianshuo naturally became the person in charge.
In order to receive a reward from the system, he asked Teacher Biwako to allow him to use his shadow clone to participate in the diagnosis and treatment.
After careful consideration, Biwako chose to trust his abilities and arranged for Hebi, Skui, and Takemaru to assist him.
On Monday morning, the waiting hall on the first floor of Konoha Hospital was newly decorated.
Wooden boards and curtains cleverly divide the space: one side retains a passage for daily patients to pass through, while the other side is set up as a waiting area for free clinics.
Three ropes clearly delineate the queuing lines, each leading to one of the three temporary treatment rooms.
The shortest passage is specially set up for elderly or disabled ninjas, who are guided by nurses to receive priority treatment.
The clinic room was simply furnished: two chairs, a desk, and paper, pens, and basic medical equipment were neatly arranged.
There is a small door at the back for those who have been examined and found to be unharmed to leave, or to guide patients with hidden injuries to the second floor for further treatment.
Behind each desk sat a shadow clone named Qian Shuo, who shared the system's detection function with the main body and served as the "hidden injury screener" for this free clinic.
In the No. 2 centralized treatment room on the second floor, Xingyuan Qianshuo's main body was stationed.
Mild cases are treated on the spot, while severe cases are arranged for hospitalization or follow-up visits.
In addition to medical personnel, there were also two ANBU ninjas sent by Hiruzen Sarutobi on site, who were responsible for supervising the event and maintaining order.
After all, there are many unruly ninjas among those who come for treatment, so ensuring that the scene is orderly is of paramount importance.
Just after 7:30, ninjas attracted by the free clinic's publicity arrived one after another and lined up in an orderly manner in the waiting area according to the instructions.
Xingyuan Qianshuo decided to start seeing patients ahead of schedule.
Shadow Clone No. 2 received its first patient, a middle-aged ninja with a thick beard and wearing a green vest, whose appearance seemed familiar to the ninja.
Name: Sarutobi Taisho
[Condition: Healthy]
"So he looks similar to Sarutobi Daiki from the Ninja Academy, they must be close relatives." Chisaku No. 2 understood, but on the surface he still meticulously completed the inspection.
"Very healthy, please leave from this side."
"Thank you, Dr. Qian Shuo."
Although it was somewhat unexpected that the first subject to be tested was from the Sarutobi clan, Chisaku No. 2 did not think much of it.
At this moment, the other two shadow clones had also begun to treat patients.
Free medical consultations for hidden injuries are like panning for gold in the sand.
As of 8:00 AM, the three shadow clones had received fourteen people and found only one patient with hidden injuries.
Name: Tobiyamaru
[Condition: Recurrent plantar fasciitis, accelerated aging of the fascia]
This Chunin, whose name is similar to "Konohamaru," mainly relies on his Body Flicker speed combined with swordsmanship in combat.
After recording his symptoms, Qian Shuo No. 1 directed him to the second floor.
Faced with this ninja whose fighting habits were already ingrained, Hoshino Senju prescribed anti-inflammatory and blood-activating herbs, suggesting that he soak his feet in hot medicinal water after training to relieve the symptoms.
[Rewards: Basic Swordsmanship (Proficient), Chakra +60]
Learning swordsmanship skills from an ordinary ninja is a good start.
As the number of patients increased, the three shadow clones entered a state of high-efficiency operation.
Just then, a truly "heavyweight" figure appeared in the queue—Akimichi Torifu.
The ninjas who recognized the Akimichi clan chief greeted him respectfully.
Akimichi Torifu is 48 years old. He graduated at the same time as the Konoha high-ranking officials and once served in the Second Hokage's guard unit.
He was also present to witness the historic moment when Tobirama Senju appointed Hiruzen Sarutobi as his successor as Hokage.
The three clans of Ino-Shika-Cho, who received the notification, naturally understood the Third Hokage's thoughts regarding this free clinic.
After discussion, it was decided that Akimichi Torifu would come as a representative, both to show support for the Hokage and to take the opportunity to observe Tsunade's new lover.
The Ino-Shika-Cho trio have always kept track of the activities of Konoha's elite Jonin.
They had high hopes for Kato Dan, who had mastered the "Spiritualization Technique," but unfortunately, he died young.
When Akimichi visited the injured Choza last time, he thanked Tsunade in person, but did not pay much attention to Hoshigen Chisaku.
This time, he intends to see the potential of this young medical ninja for himself.
Seeing the ninjas in front of him moving in and out of the examination room so quickly, Akimichi Torifu couldn't help but wonder: How could the detection of hidden injuries be so fast?
When it was his turn, he made a slight mental movement, gently patted his leg with his right palm, creating a tiny laceration in the muscle fibers, and then walked into treatment room number 2 with a normal expression.
"It is an honor to have Lord Qufeng grace us with his presence."
"Dr. Qian Shuo, you're too kind. I haven't had a chance to properly thank you for what happened to my son last time."
After exchanging pleasantries, the inspection began.
Name: Akimichi Torifu
[Medical condition: Long-term overwork of the heart, high blood pressure; minor tear of the gracilis muscle in the right leg]
While inspecting, Qian Shuo No. 2 pondered to himself.
During their last meeting, he had used the system to examine the other person's physical condition and learned about the symptoms of the other person's heart and blood pressure, but he was troubled by the lack of a cure.
The slight laceration on the other person's leg is highly suspicious.
"Lord Qufeng," he asked with a smile, "that small injury on your right leg, did you perhaps bump into it accidentally just now?"
Akimichi Torifu laughed loudly: "Such keen perception! You saw through me so quickly."
Chishuo No. 2 immediately used the Palm Healing Technique, and the bright green chakra enveloped the wound, healing the "test" in a short while.
After easily treating the minor injury, Qian Shuo No. 2's expression turned serious, and he asked in a low voice about the condition of her heart.
Upon learning that the other party was taking medicine from the Nara family for conditioning, he offered some health advice.
"What you're saying is exactly the same as what Nara Shikabayashi said," Akimichi Torifu laughed. "Looks like I can't deny I'm getting old."
The investigation has concluded successfully—the patient possesses good medical skills and a gentle personality, but their combat abilities remain to be observed.
After seeing the other party off, Qian Shuo No. 2 checked the system notification:
[Rewards: Partial Expansion Technique (Mastery), Super Push Hands (Proficient), Chakra +600]
Although the shadow clone couldn't collect the reward, this gain already made him extremely happy.
Time flew by in the midst of the busy work, and the morning's free clinic proceeded smoothly.
During this time, Teacher Biwako came to inspect the situation. Seeing that everything was in good order, he offered a few words of encouragement and then left.
Tsunade also secretly came by and left a kiss on the face of Xingyuan Qianshuo's main body and three shadow clones as a sign of appreciation.
As noon approached, the number of patients decreased. Xingyuan Qianshuo instructed the nurses to suspend their duties and arrange for everyone to have lunch and rest.
Back in the consultation room, he prepared himself and then deactivated the three shadow clones.
A flood of memories and a feeling of exhaustion overwhelmed him, forcing him to sit quietly and regulate his breathing for a long time.
More than 200 people were examined throughout the morning, and 12 cases of hidden injuries were found.
Except for one case that required multiple treatments, the rest were properly handled by the patient.
In addition to the secret technique reward from Akimichi Torifu and the basic swordsmanship of Hiyomaru, he also received two ninjutsu rewards: "Earth Release: Heart Decapitation Technique" and "Wind Release: Gale Palm".
Other rewards include increased proficiency in existing skills and chakra reserves, far exceeding the rewards of ordinary healing, making them a pleasant surprise.
When Tsunade finished sorting through all the spoils, she came in carrying lunch.
Looking at his lover's bright smile and recalling the memories of those light kisses sent back by his shadow clone, a warm feeling welled up in his heart.
He stood up and embraced Tsunade, expressing his joy and tenderness with a deep kiss.
In the afternoon, after resting, Xingyuan Qianshuo created three more shadow clones to continue receiving the ninjas who came for free medical consultations.
During this time, he met Kurenai Yuhi's father, Shinku Yuhi.
This ninja, who sacrificed himself alongside Akimichi Torifu during the Nine-Tails' attack in the original work, is now thirty-eight years old. He is proficient in ninjutsu, taijutsu, genjutsu, and swordsmanship, and has been appointed by the Third Hokage as a chunin/genin instructor in Konoha.
It's important to understand that not all graduates are able to receive guidance and training from Jonin like the "Twelve Konoha Genin." Most of them are trained and developed by Chunin-level ninjas after receiving unified instruction from their instructors.
Unfortunately, Kurenai Yuhi was in excellent health.
Xingyuan Qianshuo could only exchange a few simple pleasantries with the other party before ending this brief encounter.
Two familiar faces also appeared at the free clinic in the afternoon: one was Kosuke Maruboshi, another "perennial genin" from Konoha, and the other was Koto Mokumo.
At around forty years old, Kosuke Maruboshi's strength was still at its peak.
Although nominally a genin, his actual combat strength has surpassed that of an ordinary jonin, and he has stepped into the elite category.
As usual, Qian Shuo No. 1 examined his entire body, wrote down the results of the systemic examination on a piece of paper as a medical order, and asked him to go to the treatment room on the second floor.
Name: Maruhoshi Kosuke
[Condition: The left heel has degenerated and become stiff due to long-term repetitive stress; it has experienced multiple minor tears that have healed on their own but are prone to tearing again.]
Maruhoshi Kosuke looked at the doctor's orders, his heart filled with mixed feelings.
He only came in response to the Hokage's call, but he didn't expect to actually find out a problem.
In the past two years, he has occasionally experienced pain in his left Achilles tendon after intense training, but he only considered it a minor injury and did not pay much attention to it.
Only then did he truly realize that he was getting old.
Although both Hoshino Senju's main body and his shadow clone were dressed in white robes and wearing masks, experienced ninjas could still recognize them as the same person at a glance.
"Shadow clones?" Kosuke Maruboshi asked casually.
"Please sit down, senior. The downstairs is the clone, and this is the real body." Xingyuan Qianshuo took the doctor's orders and carefully examined his left Achilles tendon.
He then took out a small dose of a cell-enhancing drug, precisely injected it into the Achilles tendon tissue with chakra, and then used the Palm Healing Technique to stimulate cell division.
A few minutes later, the Achilles tendon had regained its strength.
"The Third Hokage is holding this free clinic precisely to protect everyone's health and enable everyone to maintain their condition for longer."
Xingyuan Qianshuo pondered, "However, as we get older, our training methods should shift from enhancing physical fitness to maintaining it, and then to slowing down the decline; in battle, we should rely more on skilled techniques rather than pure physical strength."
"Thank you for your guidance, Dr. Chisaku." Maruhoshi Kosuke humbly expressed his gratitude, still maintaining his status as a genin.
"Your experience is extensive, so I won't say any more," Xingyuan Qianshuo replied with a smile. "If you feel unwell in the future, you can come to me anytime."
For ninjas who possess chakra, minor injuries can often heal quickly on their own.
However, if repeated injuries and healing exceed the body's capacity—especially after the age of thirty—they can easily accumulate into hidden injuries.
For ordinary ninjas to improve their strength, they need to train continuously and hone their skills repeatedly, which often comes at the cost of pushing their bodies to their limits.
Even though Hoshino Sensaku has healed Maruhoshi Kosuke's hidden injury to his left foot, it may still recur in the future.
He can only offer advice from a doctor's perspective; how the other party chooses is beyond his control.
Watching the other person's departing figure, he suddenly remembered: if things had followed their original course of fate, this senior would have lost his left leg and had to get a prosthetic limb.
Thinking of this, he shook his head and chuckled, realizing that there was such a way to "eradicate" hidden injuries.
After seeing Maruhoshi Kosuke off, Hoshigen Chisaku eagerly checked the system notification:
[You have cured Maruboshi Kosuke's atrophied and stiff left Achilles tendon, and have received the following rewards: Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet Technique (Proficient), Wilderness Survival Experience Scroll *1, Chakra +150]
"Wow, this is good stuff!" he thought with delight.
Maruboshi Kosuke's "Water Dragon Bullet Technique" is a B-rank Water Release technique personally taught by Tobirama Senju. It is a simplified version of the hand seals and is far superior to Kakashi and Zabuza's complicated 44 hand seals.
He regretted not choosing this technique when he was promoted to Special Jonin last time.
That "wilderness survival experience" is precisely what Xingyuan Qianshuo, the medical ninja, lacks.
Maruhoshi Kou is extremely skilled in this area, and many Jonin value his outdoor cooking skills, thus recruiting him to join their teams to carry out missions together.
Suppressing the urge to immediately claim the reward, Xingyuan Qianshuo shut down the system and waited for the next patient.
Another "supporting character," Mokumu Kōdō, was someone Hoshino Senshū remembered the name of but had no recollection of his appearance.
It wasn't until the system investigated that he connected the square-faced ninja's image with the name "Komotsu Kōdō"—the teammate who had persuaded Tsunade to cheer up when Kato Dan sacrificed himself.
Xingyuan Qianshuo treated the character who lived in the original work's memories according to procedure and received the reward of "Trap Setting (Mastery Level) and Chakra +100", which was a good result.
After the afternoon clinic ended, Xingyuan Qianshuo recalled his three shadow clones and, amidst waves of fatigue, roughly tallied the numbers: approximately three hundred people had been served, and nine patients with hidden injuries had been diagnosed.
One of them suffered from post-war poisoning and did not receive timely treatment, resulting in lingering organ damage that can only be alleviated, not cured; two others require long-term medication and recuperation; the remaining six were all successfully cured.
Besides Maruboshi Kosuke and Mokume Kōdō, the other seven also brought many rewards, including increased proficiency in Fire Release, Shadow Clone Technique, Basic Swordsmanship, Basic Taijutsu, Body Flicker Technique, and even Summoning Technique.
Xingyuan Qianshuo extracted all the rewards, and a massive amount of experience and memories flooded into his mind.
The "Water Dragon Bullet Technique" given to him by Maruboshi Kosuke requires forming six hand seals: "Rat-Ox-Tiger-Snake-Horse-Rooster". Although it is not as neat as Tobirama Senju's, it is much easier than the 44 hand seals.
After using the "Wilderness Survival Experience Scroll", you will master all the survival skills for forests, deserts, Gobi, swamps and other places - finding food, identifying poison, making fire, setting up camp, cooking... complicated and practical.
From then on, he was no longer limited to eating military rations when he went on missions; instead, he could travel as freely and leisurely as if on a camping vacation, surpassing even the top survival experts of his previous life.
The only problem is that after absorbing these experiences, he inexplicably wants to carry an iron pot with him when he goes out—there are too many techniques in the merged memories that use iron pots.
He quickly suppressed the thought; putting aside the image issue, the phrase "taking the blame" sounded rather unlucky.
The "Master-level Trap Setting" skill acquired by Mokumo Kōdō is perfectly suited for wilderness survival.
Although this technique seems simple, it actually contains many skills. With just this one skill, one can be awarded the title of Special Jonin in Konoha.
Tsunade's younger brother, Nawaki, died during World War II after accidentally falling into an explosive tag trap.
These types of traps are highly effective against inexperienced junior and intermediate ninjas, and are especially useful in field surveillance, border defense, or during major wars.
In addition, there is a new skill called "Summoning Ninja Tools" - which allows you to store ninja tools in a scroll using space-time ninjutsu and summon them at any time.
This technique requires prior preparation of the formula and scroll, and the storage of ninja tools in another dimension.
A master of space-time ninjutsu, capable of continuously summoning ninja tools to attack enemies.
This is Tenten's signature skill in the original work. She can not only store and retrieve ninja tools, but also seal flames, water waves, and even summon the sea and giant ships.
Unfortunately, the version obtained by Xingyuan Qianshuo only includes the functions of sealing and summoning ninja tools, and is not the complete "tool" series of Tenten, but it is already extremely convenient for storing supplies.
After sorting out all the rewards, Xingyuan Qianshuo went out to meet up with the medical staff who participated in the free clinic.
He had already arranged to have dinner at "Yakiniku Q", and the expenses would be reimbursed by Professor Biwako as part of the project.
Tsunade did not go with them; she told them she was going home to be with her grandmother when she got off work.
While Xingyuan Qianshuo and his team were busy with free clinics and gatherings, some changes were quietly taking place in the seemingly peaceful Konoha Village.
Although most of the Anbu were unaware of the specific reasons, they followed the Third Hokage's orders to maintain a relaxed exterior but a tighter interior, quietly increasing their vigilance.
In a sense, this large-scale first medical clinic in Konoha served as an excellent cover—quietly setting the stage for the upcoming "Nine-Tails Jinchuriki handover".
