Chapter 7: Chakra Needle, Dominating Surgery

Chapter 7: Chakra Needle, Dominating Surgery

"After enhancing my perception, my chakra control has become much clearer."

With these words.

Hai, Chou, Inu, Ne...

Chiba slowed down the speed of his hand seals, one after another forming in his hands. His chakra was mobilized within his body, and then, he successfully used the Chakra Scalpel again.

No difficulty at all.

However, he dissipated the chakra and began to change the hand seals.

Replaced two of them.

Then, with a little help from chakra control...

After a series of hand seals, a chakra conglomerate resembling a needle appeared in Chiba's palm. The high-density chakra formed a nearly tangible state.

He tested it with a kunai.

Clang!

He effortlessly blocked it.

"As expected, these hand seals can assist in chakra condensation, making it easier for my chakra to gather. Of course, powerful chakra control is still necessary; otherwise, it won't work."

Chiba pondered for a moment and began to write in his notebook.

Chakra Needle, difficulty A+.

Effect: Can touch solid objects, lethality to be verified.

Optimization direction: Refinement, increased quantity, durability, reduced difficulty.

"At the moment, it's not a ninjutsu that can be widely used."

But it doesn't mean it's useless.

The Chakra Scalpel is widely used in surgeries, but it cannot be used in every operation. For example, in cases of damaged tendons and bones, the Chakra Scalpel's precision cutting ability is difficult to achieve.

But the Chakra Needle can.

"I need to try its practical application."

Chiba got up and walked towards the office.

As a newcomer and an ungraduated child who didn't know medical ninjutsu, if he wanted to participate in surgery, he had to get the approval and supervision of his teacher, Yamanaka Sato.

Yamanaka Sato had already forgotten about the incident at the Pleasure Paradise.

The medical class was too busy.

Even though it wasn't a time of war, and there weren't many wounded, training, learning, and surgery still occupied most of her time. She had no spare energy to worry about those matters.

But...

When she saw Chiba coming in, she couldn't help but recall the embarrassing scene.

After a moment of silence, Chiba spoke first, "Teacher, I just tried to incorporate the Chakra Scalpel into the technique I've been researching."

"???"

Yamanaka Sato looked at him in confusion, with an expression that seemed to say, "Are you kidding me?"

Haven't you just learned the Chakra Scalpel?

Damn it.

He really did it!

Her attitude towards him changed slightly.

After a few seconds of silence, she asked, "What technique?"

"I call it the Chakra Needle."

Chiba quickly performed hand seals, then extended his right hand, and a Chakra Needle condensed into shape. "I enhanced its form-changing ability, so it has a tangible effect."

"This technique..."

Yamanaka Sato widened her eyes. Although she had only recently joined the medical class, she had accumulated a lot of medical experience over the years, and naturally saw through the purpose of this technique.

She immediately thought of a past surgery.

She turned around and searched, then took out a medical record.

"Teacher, what is this medical record for?"

Maruishi Kusuke.

That person who was a lower-level ninja but had elite Jonin-level strength.

Could it be...

"This senior Kusuke had a severe fracture in his left leg during a mission, and although it was bandaged in time, there were too many bone fragments, and the medical class, after Lady Tsunade left, didn't have the ability to treat it, so he ended up having his leg amputated."

Yamanaka Sato sighed, "If there were techniques like yours back then, perhaps there would have been a chance to save him."

"Are there similar surgeries? I want to try and participate."

"Surgeries like this happen every once in a while; just wait for it."

Chiba didn't have to wait too long.

The next day, Yamanaka Sato took him to the operating room.

Of course.

This time, she didn't let him perform the operation, just let him go in and observe, get used to the environment and situation of the surgery, to avoid being nervous and clumsy if he suddenly faced it.

However, many people objected.

For example, Hanpo—

He was the class leader of the medical class, one rank higher than Yamanaka Sato. But due to her connection with the Hokage, he had to agree to let Chiba follow and learn.

After a few surgeries, his senses towards Chiba improved.

Although quite embarrassed, Chiba had at least developed a certain respect for life. His movements were very agile, and by the second surgery, he was able to help out without affecting their procedures.

Half a month later, the surgery that Chiba had been waiting for finally came.

A mid-level ninja from the Nara clan, also a member of the Intelligence Division, was hit by an enemy explosive tag during a mission, resulting in severe bone fractures in his left hand. Moreover, due to the explosion, various impurities were present in his skin and flesh.

The surgery's difficulty was extremely high.

"With such fragmentation..."

"Perform the surgery simultaneously, or it won't be in time."

Yamanaka Sato said.

She looked at Chiba, wanting to say something but hesitated.

"Teacher, let me help."

"You?"

Hanpo frowned.

Chiba was a genius, but he had never actually participated in surgery. Dealing with such a dangerous patient, if he couldn't heal him, it would be a significant blow to the child.

He thought for a moment and said, "The difficulty is too high; you should help maintain the technique."

"I want to help remove impurities and correct the bone fragments."

"Alright, I'll assist you."

Before Hanpo could say anything, Yamanaka Sato decisively made the decision, but it was met with a death stare from Hanpo.

Yamanaka Sato didn't explain much because she had discussed this technique with these people, and everyone had similar conclusions—

A technique with great potential.

Chiba was assigned to work on the thigh.

He didn't mind and quickly got into the surgery.

Hand seals, surgery.

The Chakra Needle appeared in his hand.

Hanpo was silent for a moment before joining the surgery.

The patient's injuries were severe, and there wasn't much time left!

Focusing his mind and chakra, Chiba found that he seemed to feel the impurities' positions more clearly. With precise hand movements and chakra control, he quickly removed some of them.

Time passed, and in no time, he had already worked from the foot to the left waist, with the Chakra Needle in his right hand and chakra in his left hand seemingly never stopping.

Hanpo and Yamanaka Sato were dumbfounded.

He's so fast!

After observing for a while, they were even more shocked.

This...

The left hand was the Chakra Scalpel they had talked about before, and the right hand was more akin to the Gentle Fist's ability to remove impurities. The difference was that Chiba was just using the Chakra

to draw them out, not actively pulling them out like the Gentle Fist.

The operating room fell silent.

Everyone exchanged glances, then quietly made way.

Unknowingly, this surgery had become Chiba's lead. The Chakra Needle in his right hand moved among the bone fragments, cutting off the flesh and removing the impurities.

The others helped assemble the bone fragments.

After a long time, all the bones were pieced together, and under the medical ninjutsu's treatment, the shattered bones gradually fused and recovered, and the wounds that were cut open by the needle quickly healed.

"Alright, kid, take a rest. Leave the rest to us."

"Huh?"

Chiba came back to his senses after hearing this, then felt a wave of dizziness.

"The most severe part is the left side, and you've removed most of it already. Leave the rest to us; besides, your chakra is insufficient."

Hanpo said gently.

If earlier he treated Chiba kindly because of his genius, now it was out of respect.

It's a pity he couldn't learn medical ninjutsu.

Otherwise, this child might become another Lady Tsunade.
