This ninja in Naruto is unscientific

Chapter 30 Pharmacist Nonou

The medical area of ​​Konoha's front-line headquarters is already overcrowded.

Although Hanzo's frantic counterattack was a last gasp, it still caused huge casualties to Konoha.

Stretchers were carried in and out like flowing water, the screams and the smell of blood mingling together to create a picture of hell.

A week has passed since that surprise attack.

Nishikawa Tetsu recovered quickly from his injuries, thanks to Tsunade's personal treatment and his not-too-weak physique.

Although they are not yet capable of engaging in high-intensity combat, they can walk without any problems.

He didn't choose to lie in the tent and get moldy.

"This is a hemostatic agent. Apply pressure for three minutes. Give the guy with the broken leg half a syringe of anesthetic; don't let him suffer excruciating pain."

Nishikawa Tetsu, wearing a slightly oversized white medical gown, moved among the wounded.

Although he wasn't a formal medical ninja, his medical knowledge from his previous life, combined with his recent studies, made him more than capable of handling some external injuries and providing first aid.

"Thank you... thank you." A Chunin whose arm had been blown off looked at him gratefully.

Nishikawa Tetsu skillfully tied the knot and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

Just as he turned to go to the next bed, a petite figure came into his view.

She was a girl who was about ten years old, with long, light blonde hair and wearing round glasses.

She was struggling to carry a box of bandages, and it looked like she was having some difficulty.

"careful."

Nishikawa Tetsu reached out and helped her catch the suitcase that was about to slip.

The girl looked up, and through her thick glasses, she revealed a pair of gentle yet resolute eyes.

"Ah... thank you." The girl's voice was soft, carrying a reassuring strength. "I'm here to help. My name is Yakushi Nonou."

Nishikawa Tetsuya was taken aback.

Yakushi Nonou?

The one known as the walking shrine maiden, the future director of the orphanage, and also Kabuto Yakushi's adoptive mother?

I never expected to run into her here.

"My name is Nishikawa Tetsu." Tetsu took the box. "This is so heavy, let me carry it."

She was too thin and frail; Nishikawa Tetsu was afraid she wouldn't be able to hold her up.

"It's okay, everyone here is working their hardest." Nono smiled, her face still covered in dust, but her smile was like a daisy blooming on a rainy day. "I want to do everything I can, even if it's just handing over a roll of bandage."

"They...are all heroes of Konoha. We cannot let heroes go without the treatment they deserve."

Although the girl's voice was very soft in the noisy environment, her determined gaze made Nishikawa Tetsu feel a little heartbroken.

Among the wounded around me were children of the same age as me. This world is truly a mess, sending such young children to the battlefield.

Over the next few days, Nishikawa Tetsu and Nonou became temporary partners.

On the front lines where medical resources were extremely scarce, Nono demonstrated remarkable medical talent and meticulous care.

Although she doesn't possess advanced medical ninjutsu, she is exceptionally skilled at identifying herbs and bandaging wounds.

Nishikawa Tetsu used his memories from his previous life to improve the fixation method of the simple splint and also formulated a more effective hemostatic powder.

"Nishikawa-kun, your ideas are really brilliant."

During a break, Nonou looked at Nishikawa Tetsu's sketches with admiration in her eyes. "If this could be widely adopted, it could save a lot of people, right?"

"Maybe."

Nishikawa Tetsu put down his pen and looked at the continuous rain outside the tent. "But even the best medical skills can't save everyone. As long as the war continues, the wounded will keep coming in."

Nono fell silent. She lowered her head and gently stroked the medical kit in her hand: "So... we must try our best to live on and wait for the day of peace."

"Peace...?"

In this cruel ninja world, peace is never something that comes by waiting, but something that is fought for.

……

In addition to helping treat the wounded, Nishikawa Tetsu also had to take care of two seriously ill patients.

Minato Namikaze's recovery ability is amazing; he's already able to get out of bed and do some simple rehabilitation exercises.

Although his right shoulder was still wrapped in thick bandages, he remained optimistic and even helped the nurses deliver meals to other wounded soldiers.

He moved through the crowd, bringing his sunny and cheerful side to many people, and the nickname "Little Sun" had already spread among the wounded.

The troublesome one is Uchiha Fugaku.

Since that night, Fugaku has become taciturn. Although he was not talkative to begin with, he now seems to have become withdrawn.

His eyes were always covered with gauze, and Tsunade specially placed a sealing jutsu on them to prevent him from using his eye power recklessly.

"How are you feeling today?" Nishikawa Tetsu asked as he carried a bowl of medicinal porridge into Fugaku's tent.

"It's very noisy."

Fugaku leaned against the headboard. Although he couldn't see, he still accurately turned towards Nishikawa Tetsu. "There are screams all over the place. Has Hanzo not retreated yet?"

"Soon."

Nishikawa Tetsu placed the porridge on the bedside table. "Yesterday's battle report shows that Sunagakure has withdrawn its troops. Hanzo is now all alone and won't last more than a few days."

Fugaku nodded, reached out to grab a spoon, but knocked over a water glass.

"Smack."

The water glass fell to the ground and shattered.

Fugaku's hand froze in mid-air, and his face instantly turned extremely ugly.

The sense of defeat—the feeling of losing power and being unable to even take care of oneself—made this proud Uchiha clench his fists tightly.

"Don't rush, senior."

Nishikawa Tetsu calmly picked up the shards. "Lady Tsunade said that damage to the optic nerve is reversible. As long as you rest for a month, you will be able to see again."

That's not what I'm worried about.

Fugaku took a deep breath, his voice low, "You know what I'm worried about, those eyes... Once I get back to the village, those old guys definitely won't stay peaceful."

"Then let them come."

Nishikawa Tetsu interrupted him, his tone carrying an undeniable confidence, "Senior, I've said it before. Fear comes from the unknown. When you turn these eyes into an indispensable deterrent force for Konoha, they won't dare to touch you, and they'll even have to worship you."

"Deterrence?"

"That's right." Nishikawa Tetsu leaned closer and lowered his voice, "I already have a plan on how to use these eyes to gain the greatest political leverage for you and for the Uchiha."

Fugaku remained silent for a long time.

"Have some porridge, it won't taste good when it gets cold."

Nishikawa Tetsu shoved the spoon into Fugaku's hand.

"Fugaku-senpai, I'm going to change your dressing now." Minato Namikaze walked in carrying a tray, his tone light and cheerful.

"...Let someone else do it." Fugaku's voice was muffled, his eyes covered. "Let a nurse do it, or let Che do it. You're too strong; last time you almost tied my bandages into a knot."

"Oh, it was an accident." Minato wasn't angry. He sat on the edge of the bed and skillfully unwrapped the bandages from Fugaku's arm. "Besides, I've sent all the nurses away. You're a secret of Konoha now, so we can't let too many people see you."

Fugaku remained silent, letting Minato tend to his wounds.

After a while, he suddenly whispered, "Minato."

"Um?"

"How's the weather outside?"

Minato paused for a moment, glanced at the long-awaited sunlight outside the tent, and a smile crept onto his lips:

"The rain has stopped, senior. Although there's still a bit of a muddy smell, the sun is out, and it feels warm and cozy on my skin."

"Is that so..." Fugaku tilted his head slightly, seemingly imagining the scene. "Unfortunately, I can't see it."

"Don't say that," Nishikawa Tetsu interjected, who was adjusting the medicine nearby. "Once your eyes are better, the three of us can watch together and watch to our hearts' content."

"Ah...and barbecue!" Minato added, "Don't forget the barbecue!"

The mission was successfully completed, and the rating is very high.

"Okay, okay." Fugaku waved his hand impatiently, but his tightly furrowed brows relaxed a little under the gauze. "You two are really...so noisy."

......

As he stepped out of the tent, Nishikawa Tetsu glanced back.

Yakushi Nonou was bandaging a crying child's wounds not far away, Namikaze Minato was helping people move supplies, and Uchiha Fugaku was quietly drinking porridge in the tent.

This brief tranquility was like a moment of peace before the storm.

Nishikawa Tetsu gripped the chakra scalpel tightly in his hand.

The medical support he received during this period was not without its benefits. He not only learned the basics of palm magic, but more importantly, he gained a deeper understanding of the human body's meridian system and chakra flow.

This will be an important cornerstone for his future development of "biotechnology" and "human modification".

"Soon."

Nishikawa Tetsu looked at the sky in the distance, which was gradually clearing up.

The day to return to the village is approaching.
