73 [An Unusual Gathering!]
"Afternoon Shizune-san, is Tsunade-sama in?" Sizune-san has already taken over the role of Tsunade-sama's secretary…
'Wonder what happened to the dude who did this before...'
"Right let me chack Tobi-kun..." She left her desk and peaked into the office as Izumo and Kotetsu arrived at the office carrying a bundle of documents each…
"TSUNADE-SAMA!! STOP SLEEPING ON THE JOB!!!"
I let my head hang in shame at hearing that… 'well it is true, never meet your idols...'
Izumo and Kotetsu both shared a glance and their expressions were one of misery and resentment as they went into the room with the huge stacks of documents… Shizune-san returned a second later with an embarrassed expression on her face, "It's alright Tobi-kun you can go in..."
I nod and enter, Tsunade-sama still had a sleepy expression as she regarded me with half swollen eyes, "What is it?"
'Well someone's grumpy...'
"I just came from taking the academy class on Iryo Ninjutsu… The response was good but we'll have to wait for who signs up… I am a little worried about the genin and upper shinobi's though… what I am supposed to tell them, they already know what Iryo Ninjutsu is… why am I even doing this class, I can take missions and contribute that way..."
I was a little frustrated, to be honest at having my ANBU duties put on hold, if I can't do missions I can't gain EXP…
Tsunade-sama sighed and leaned on her hand before looking at me with a serious expression, "It's because of Kisame… you went ahead and took his sword... Although it's tightly under wraps from our side, there is no knowing what a missing-nin would do at having his main hand and weapon stolen..."
'...fuck I didn't think about that...'
"I understand Hokage-sama..." I bow my head and continued, "... but why teaching, I can work in the Konoha hospital..."
She smirked and said, "well you could, but I want you to do this..."
"..."
*blink*
'...Okay??'
"Yes Tsunade-sama, what about the second class?" I was almost dreading the answer, "Come back at 4:00, the lecture will be in the Jounin meeting hall..."
'All for nothing...'
I turn around and made my way out of the office…

'...well at least something'
---------------------------X0X----------------------------
'...well this certainly is an unusual gathering...'
I stood up in front of a gathering of various Shinobi's, I recognized some of them…
[Sakura Haruno]
[Lv- 47]
[Ino Yamanaka]
[Lv- 51]
[Hinata Hyuga]
[Lv-53]
[Sasuke Uchiha]
[Lv-97]
[Iruka Umino]

[Lv- 173]
'...I didn't think I'll see Sasuke here...'
Leaving the known faces aside there was a mixture of Genins and Chunin's with some ANBU's and Jounin's present…
'...most of the higher level ninjas who are here are probably recovering from a recent mission...'
"Alright everyone Thanks for coming, I selected most of you here based on your chakra control skills, the village needs more capable medic nin's and it is my hope that you would step up to the task, Tobi-kun here is a rising star in the medical and when I say his skills are only second to me, as far as I know, I'm not exaggerating… now he'll tell you about the basics of how much results you could expect proportional to the amount of effort you put into this… Tobi take it from here!"
'If only she could have told me these details before...'
I walk a few steps forward and started speaking, "Hello everyone! My name is Tobi Shou, Chunin, I have been practicing Iryo-ninjutsu for the past 4 years, I could provide you with a rough estimate about what you could expect… now I have always felt that the medical ninjutsu is wrongly criticized as just a support branch of Ninjutsu..."
I formed a few hand seals and blue chakra coated my hands…
'Chakra Scalpels Jutsu'
"Medic nin's normally use Chakra Scalpels to perform operations and surgery, now even from a normal shinobi's perspective, just learning this technique could turn your hands into deadly swords… I can cut off your muscles and arteries with just a basic chop..." I strike my hand in a chopping motion to emphasize your point…
"Tsunade-sama was the one to lay down the foundation for Konoha Hospital and its various rules… the most important part of the rules is the passive nature of medic nins and their priority to heal rather than attack, I agree that a medic-nin is more a shield than a sword… but the first thing I always disliked was the use of Chakra Scalpel Jutsu, rather than thinking it as a tool to perform operations, I prefer to think it as an add-on jutsu for my Taijutsu skills..."
I let the chakra fade from my hands and said, "All of you here must have, or the potential to have, the chakra control to learn the Chakra Scalpel jutsu, and even if you decide against learning actual healing techniques, I would like to request that you at least try learning an additional Jutsu out..."
I let my words hang for a bit before continuing, "That was my most important point, now as for the actual healing arts, the most basic healing technique can be performed rather easily and is great for expelling poison if treated early, with just a month of training most of you should be able to expel poison easily, heal basic cuts and scrapes… for those who want to completely focus on being an Iryo-nin then you would need an intense study session of at least 2 years before you would be able to treat mortal wounds in a battlefield..."
I let my statement sink in as I lift my hand up and channeled healing chakra into it…
'Mystical Palm technique...'
"...with at least 4-6 years of training, you should be up to a level when you can heal mid-battle… that is the condition set by Tsunade-sama to those medic-nin's who want to fight on the frontlines..."
I took a kunai and made a cut at the back of my hand, and after channeling medical chakra to it, it started healing while I took a fighting stance and performed a small fire jutsu…
I looked at Tsunade-sama and she was smiling a little before she came forward and said, "That was a good introduction, now I want you to go home and think about what path you want to take and then report it to Shizune tomorrow by 5 PM… Dismissed!"
I breathe a sigh of relief and started to make my way out too when Tsunade-sama said, "I'll need you in my office tomorrow at noon Tobi-kun..." I turn around and say, "Of course Tsunade-sama"
'...guess I'll just have to accept this for some months...'
---------------------------X0X----------------------------
!!!
My senses screamed at me and I flipped up from my bed and stuck to the ceiling while I look at the foreign chakra signature present in my room looking at me curiously…
'...That's the same dress as Itachi and Kisame… what's with the orange mask though...'
