Analyzing the Ninja World Starting from Konoha

"I want to register."

Aoba went directly to Araki to get the application form.

Araki-sensei was also surprised, never expecting that Aoba would want to learn medical ninjutsu.

Because of the legendary Sannin, Tsunade is admired by many female ninjas, so medical ninjas are mostly female.

"This course is not open to just anyone. It requires passing a rigorous theoretical screening and chakra control test. Only those who pass the test will have the opportunity to enter the experimental class for specialized training."

"No problem, teacher. My theoretical grades have always been excellent, and as for chakra control, I do have some insights."

Aoba rambled on in a serious tone, "A ninja needs not only the power to destroy, but also the compassion to protect. I want to use these hands to save my comrades, not simply to create carnage."

Seeing that Aoba had such a high level of awareness, Araki-sensei handed him the application form.

"Huh? Aoba, you're applying to the experimental class too?"

Seeing Aoba filling out the application form, Kurenai asked with some confusion, "Aren't you the one who hates trouble the most? Medical ninjutsu requires memorizing a lot of books and dissecting frogs and rats, which is disgusting."

"Red, that's where you're wrong."

Aoba pushed up his sunglasses and then repeated the "correct" principles he had just told Araki to Kurenai.

Hong blinked her large, ruby-like eyes first, then her face showed disdain.

Others might believe this, but how could she not know Aoba's situation? There must be other "fun" things she doesn't know about.

After thinking for a moment, she also went to find Mr. Araki to get the application form.

Red's application form was much simpler than Aoba's; Araki handed her the form as soon as she asked.

When Aoba saw that Kurenai had also taken an application form, she shook her head helplessly.

A poor student definitely won't pass.

The battlefield first aid course was scheduled for the afternoon activity period and was taught by a medical ninja who had retired from the front lines.

Obito felt a pang of reluctance as he watched Rin leave. He regretted signing up for the experimental class as well. However, when he saw Aoba leaving with him, he immediately became unhappy and angrily ran to Araki-sensei to complain. As a result, he was scolded for the entire afternoon.

The classroom was packed with people during the first class.

Aoba and the others arrived relatively late and could only sit in the last row. Hong sat next to him, while Lin and Jingyin sat in the front row.

I glanced at them and saw that most of them were older students, with only a few second-year students, and they were mostly girls, with boys making up less than one-tenth of the class.

With so many girls around, it's even more lively than a vegetable market, with all the chatter.

"Quiet."

The instructor walked into the classroom. She was a female ninja who looked to be in her thirties, wearing a white coat and with short hair that made her look extremely capable.

"My name is Hana Yamanaka, and I will be in charge of your battlefield first aid course starting today."

The instructor began her self-introduction; her voice was calm, yet carried an air of authority.

"First, I want to tell you a harsh truth—on the battlefield, most ninjas do not die from enemy attacks, but from excessive blood loss and wound infections."

The classroom was completely silent.

"Therefore, learning basic hemostasis, bandaging, and wound treatment is more important than learning a fancy ninjutsu."

Shan Zhonghua glanced at the whole class and, seeing that everyone was listening attentively to her, nodded secretly.

"Next, I will teach you the most basic battlefield first aid knowledge. Whether you can learn it or not is not only your own business, but also related to the safety of your comrades in the future."

The course content was more tedious, or rather, simplistic and crude, than Qingye had imagined.

It's not just rote learning; it's cramming.

A wealth of theoretical knowledge, human anatomy, wound types, hemostasis methods…

Many people find it like listening to gibberish, and can only anxiously copy down notes; some even start to doze off while listening.

Qingye understood that this was a screening process, and there would definitely be further assessments afterward.

With so many people, it's impossible for them all to enter the experimental class.

After all, training a qualified medical ninja requires a huge investment of resources. With so many people entering the experimental class, not only is the finances insufficient to support it, but the higher-ups also wouldn't approve it.

Aoba could understand, so he was relatively relaxed and even had time to observe the situation of the others.

Jingyin listened very attentively, clearly having a solid foundation, while Lin struggled more, her pen flying across the paper as if she wanted to write down every single word the teacher said.

As for red...

My eyelids started to droop, and my eyes were swirling around.

Hey~

He'll just let Hong be eliminated normally. He wouldn't dare cheat her; that wouldn't just be a matter of being a quack, it would be tantamount to disregarding human life.

Fortunately, a list of medical books was distributed after class, encouraging everyone to read and learn more, instead of condemning everyone outright.

Otherwise, if we teach in this way, the pass rate will definitely be worrying.

Even so, for most students, those obscure meridian diagrams and herbal medicine knowledge are simply like heavenly books. Now it's all about who is more self-disciplined and can endure more hardship.

As for Aoba, oh, he had already read those books.

The data has already been pre-loaded into the chip system; all that's needed is to take out the books from the warehouse as a token gesture.

The assessment is scheduled for one month from now.

Compared to Shizune, Nohara Rin was more nervous.

Aoba knew that Rin not only passed the test, but also later joined Minato's team as a medical ninja.

Rin's medical talent has already been showcased in the anime; her ability to successfully perform an eye transplant on the battlefield surpasses that of many medical ninjas.

Aoba doesn't interfere too much; he just does what he's supposed to do every day, with a great attitude.

That big idiot Hong followed suit and lay down with Aoba.

I would go there every afternoon as a kind of lunch break.

As the exam date drew closer, Shizune seemed to be affected by Rin and became somewhat nervous. The two, who had been talking together, gradually lost their confidence and went to Aoba for help.

Aoba did not refuse; she not only provided the answer but also clarified their thinking.

The two were increasingly surprised as they listened. Although they knew that Aoba's theoretical scores had always been the best, they did not expect that he also had such extensive knowledge of the medical system.

In the days that followed, whenever the two had free time, they would come to ask Aoba for advice. Obito once again turned into a jealous person, cursing Aoba behind his back.

Aoba sneered.

Kurenai started beating up Obito, who, in order to maintain his image in front of Rin, didn't dare to fight back and could only be chased by Kurenai, running away with his head in his hands.

The exam time is fast approaching.

Unlike regular assessments, this exam consists of two parts: theory and practical skills.

The theoretical topics cover dozens of categories, including human meridian theory, basic pharmacology, chakra nature identification, and emergency hemostasis and bandaging. The complexity and obscurity of the content leave most students, who haven't even memorized all the basic ninja theories, feeling hopeless.

The actual exam questions were subtly hinted at by the instructor during class, but everyone was more focused on the content and ignored the instructor's digressions.

He wasn't sure if others had listened, but Qingye had. Before the exam, she even went over these key points with Jingyin and Lin.

After leaving the examination room, everyone gathered in twos and threes to check their answers.

Only Aoba and Kurenai didn't care at all; the former was confident in his own strength, while the latter had already given up.
