Chapter 24 Doctor Fu Le Appears
"You mean Gaara of the Sand Ninja might be the One-Tail's Jinchuriki!"

After listening to Fu Le's report, the Third Hokage's expression became serious.

"I don't know if he was a Jinchūriki, but the power Gaara displayed at that time was indeed terrifying."

Fu Le said seriously.

A Jinchūriki is a being that has a tailed beast sealed inside of it.

For example, Gaara is the Jinchuriki of the One-Tail, and Uzumaki Naruto is the Jinchuriki of the Nine-Tail.

As for the tailed beasts?

This is an extremely powerful monster with chakra that is enough to destroy a ninja village.

Of course, these are just what people in the ninja village say. Fu Le knows more about the tailed beasts.

But no matter what, the danger of the tailed beasts cannot be ignored.

The fact that the Sand Ninja asked Gaara, who was the Jinchuriki, to come to Konoha to take part in the Chunin Exam was equivalent to transporting a nuclear bomb to Konoha. How could this not shock the Third Hokage?

Although the existence of the tailed beasts is generally a secret in the village, this secret is actually not that hidden.

In the past few decades, Konoha has experienced three Ninja World Wars.

In these wars, the presence of tailed beasts is actually not uncommon.

Especially the One-Tail from the Sand Village.

Every time Konoha faces them on the battlefield, Shukaku can be seen.

Because the Sand Village's attainments in sealing techniques are so poor, Shukaku often has to personally participate in battles.

Therefore, Shukaku, the tailed beast of the Sand Village, can be said to be the tailed beast that the ninjas of Konoha Village know best.

It is also the tailed beast with the clearest records.

However, even so, Fu Le did not mention the name of the tailed beast when reporting to the Third Hokage, but only said that there seemed to be something dangerous in Gaara's body.

He also took the opportunity to tell the Third Hokage what happened when Gaara fought him.

The matter of the tailed beasts was told to Fu Le by the Third Hokage himself.

"I understand. I will send someone to handle this matter immediately."

"But this time it's all thanks to you, Fu Le, otherwise I don't know what the Sand Ninja would do."

The Third Hokage's originally solemn expression gradually relaxed.

Looking at Fu Le in front of him, a smile spread across his face.

Based on Musashi's reports during this period, the Third Hokage also knew that Fu Le had made rapid progress recently.

And he was able to escape after seeing Shukaku display his power, which is a sign of strength in itself.

Seeing such a young hero, the Third Hokage felt relieved.

“These are all my responsibilities.”

Fu Le responded seriously.

"But I have something I want to ask Hokage-sama."

"Oh, what's the matter?"

"It's about the upcoming Chunin Exam. Will we continue to fight as a team or start fighting individually in the next exam?"

"Why do you ask?"

The Third Hokage looked at Fu Le in surprise.

"If it's an individual match, I'm going to give up. If it's a team match, I can still hold on."

Fu Le said with a wry smile.

"That's right. After all, you have experienced a battle with the Jinchūriki. It is impossible for you not to be injured."

The Third Hokage immediately understood what Fu Le meant.

After all, the bandages on Fu Le's body were too obvious.

"Then go to the hospital to recuperate. It will be a one-on-one battle from now on."

The Third Hokage said immediately.

Compared to the title of Chunin that can be obtained at any time, Fu Le's health is definitely more important.

Konoha has been in a period of transition in recent years, which has led the Third Hokage to pay more and more attention to the training of outstanding ninjas.

"Yes, then I will go directly to the hospital."

After getting the consent of the Third Hokage, Fu Le left the Hokage's office.

"That's a relief."

Standing on the street and looking at the blue sky, Fu Le's face was full of smiles.

He had no interest in the individual battles that followed the Chunin Exams.

If he had that time, he would rather devote it to spiritual practice.

Especially medical skills and medical ninjutsu. These are extremely important abilities in his next plan.

"Doctor Fu Le, please come and help!"

"I'm coming."

Hearing the urging voice outside, Fu Le, who was studying medical ninjutsu in the office, immediately stood up and walked towards the operating room.

Although he had only been in this career change for a short time, Fu Le's attainments in medical ninjutsu had been recognized by the entire hospital.

So he soon became the attending physician in the hospital.

Therefore, Fu Le has to perform many operations every day, and sometimes he has to work around the clock.

In short, it's very busy.

With such a high frequency of surgeries, Fu Le's medical skills are also improving rapidly.

"What's going on today?"

Fu Le asked after entering the operating room.

"He was a Genin who was taking part in the Chunin Exams. His left hand and left foot were severely injured, and the bones were almost crushed."

The nurse in the operating room quickly told Fu Le about the situation.

"Oh, is it time for a personal battle already?"

Fu Le suddenly realized.

The second Chunin Exam would last for five days, and Fu Le passed it in one day.

So he has been in Konoha Hospital for four days.

Once Fu Le enters the state of training, he will forget the passage of time, which makes him forget that today is the third final preliminaries of the Chunin Exam.

"It was Lee who took part in the Chunin Exam and suffered serious injuries to his left leg and left foot."

Fu Le walked to the operating table and looked at Xiao Li lying on the table and couldn't help but sighed: "It's really you, Xiao Li."

At this time, Xiao Li had been anesthetized and naturally could not respond to Fu Le.

But the nurses around him were very curious.

"Does Dr. Fu Le know this patient?"

"I know him. Wasn't I an assistant teacher at the Ninja Academy? He can be considered as my student. And didn't I just come back from the Chunin Exam?"

"So this is ah."

The nurses suddenly realized.

After chatting with the nurses for a while, Fu Le focused his attention on Li Luoke's injuries.

"Tsk, this kind of damage is almost irreversible."

"I'm afraid the only one who can perform this kind of surgery is Lady Tsunade!"

Fu Le and another doctor beside him sighed.

Xiao Li's injuries were too serious.

That is to say, only with the existence of chakra in the ninja world and Tsunade, a medical genius, can injuries like this be recovered in the future.

If it were in Fu Le's previous life, this kind of injury would have been amputated as soon as possible.

But Xiao Li is lucky.

Apart from Tsunade who was not present, Fu Le was also confident that he could cure him at this time.

In order to successfully become Tsunade's apprentice, Fu Le undoubtedly invested the most energy in medical skills and medical ninjutsu.

In order to better highlight his abilities, Fu Le even developed some novel technologies based on his own particularities.

And now, these technologies will be used on Xiao Li.

"Dean, leave this surgery to me. I have recently developed some new techniques that may be able to cure him."

Fu Le said to the director of Konoha Hospital.

"You can?"

"No matter whether it works or not, his condition will be better than it is now."

"Then leave it to you."

The dean made a decision immediately.

Although he didn't say it explicitly, the dean was well aware that Fu Le's medical attainments were no less than his own.

And if Fu Le really developed a new technique as he said.

Then his success rate must be higher than mine.

He was willing to believe in Fu Le.
