Chapter 34: Treating the Aunt's Illness

After school in the afternoon, Hinata Neon held Kurenai's hand, and the two skipped and hopped all the way to Kurenai's house.

Kurenai Yuhi hadn't returned yet; only Kurenai's mother, Kazuko Yuhi, served her a cup of tea.

Her face grew paler and paler, and she looked as if a gust of wind could blow her over.

"Auntie, are you alright?" Hinata Ningyuan asked with some concern. "Have you seen a doctor?"

"I've seen doctors, but they didn't find any obvious symptoms..." Yuhi Kazuko clutched her lower back and forced a smile. "It's probably an old ailment from the battlefield. A little rest will do the trick!"

If I had gotten enough rest, my health wouldn't have gotten worse these past few days!

The medical ninja system was only established during World War II, and it's only been a few years since then.

They can heal wounds and detoxify, but they may not be good at replenishing bodily deficiencies.

Let me see if I have a solution!

Hinata Ningyuan sat down in a chair, took a sip of tea, then closed his eyes and entered the Arcane Pen Hall.

"Give me a medical book!" Hinata Ningyuan only remembered watching some videos made by marketing accounts or biology textbooks, but he didn't remember reading any medical books.

However, give it a try. Maybe you've seen it before, but it's just been forgotten deep in your memory!

call.

A thick book floated out from the bookshelf and landed in front of Hinata Ningyuan.

"There really is one!" Ning Yuan was taken aback, then looked at the cover again: Barefoot Doctor's Manual!

"When did I ever read this!" Ning Yuan looked blank. After taking the book, memories of reading it years ago automatically surfaced in his mind.

When he was seven or eight years old, he was frail and sickly since childhood, and he treated the village's traditional Chinese medicine clinic like his own home.

Moreover, my family was poor when I was a child and couldn't afford to burn coal briquettes, so the clinic was always warm and cozy, making it a good place to keep warm.

At that time, there was only one book on the old doctor's desk, which he flipped through once.

"That's true." Hinata Ningyuan was speechless. He probably wasn't studying medicine back then, but rather learning to read or looking at paintings.

At the age when they were just learning to read, they naturally read all kinds of books with words on them.

Ning Yuan is indeed a person who loves reading. He never expected that the tree he planted in his previous life would provide shade in his next life. The things he did when he was seven or eight years old would benefit him after he transmigrated.

Opening the book, the first page bears the sentence: "Focus on medical and health work in the countryside"—Mao.

Ning Yuan was immediately moved to tears, realizing that even after transmigrating, he was still receiving kindness from him.

Turn to Chapter Three, which explains how Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) diagnoses illnesses.

Seeking a diagnosis.

Hinata Neon opened his eyes and looked at Yuhi Kazuko in front of him. Her face was pale, mostly due to weakness.

"Auntie, could you let me see your tongue?" Hinata Ningyuan asked. "I'll examine you!"

"You can also treat illnesses?" Yuhi Kazuko asked curiously.

"Just a little bit!" They're still at the stage of flipping through medical books.

"Alright, then I'll show you!" Yuhi Kazuko didn't believe it, but since her son wanted to play, she would play along.

She stuck out her tongue, and Hinata Ningyuan examined it closely before turning to say, "Red Wolf, stick out your tongue too and let me see!"

What did you call me?

"Ahem, Little Red!"

A light fist came flying at me: "They have names!"

But in the end, he still stuck out his tongue.

"Hmm, Auntie's tongue is lighter in color than yours, and the coating on her tongue is whiter!" Hinata Ningyuan said.

"Is there a problem?" Kurenai blinked and asked.

"This is one of the symptoms of the disease!" Hinata Ningyuan asked, "Auntie, do you have any other symptoms? Anything that's different from what a normal person would have!"

"This," Yuhiko paused, then looked embarrassed. She did have symptoms, but they were all things she found difficult to talk about.

"I'm a doctor now, what's there to be embarrassed about saying in front of a doctor!" Hinata Ningyuan said. "The clearer you are, the more accurate my judgment will be!"

Although "this" still doesn't believe in Hyuga Ningyuan, it's true that the logic behind this statement is correct.

Let's talk about something unimportant then.

"Hmm, does not feeling like eating count?" Yuhi Kazuko asked.

"Loss of appetite, of course!"

"And another thing is that I always feel weak!" Yuhi Kazuko continued.

"Is it a lack of strength in the body or the limbs?" Hinata Neon asked.

"Body!"

"That's fatigue, anything else?"

"I always feel cold in my stomach and want to vomit, but I can only vomit clear water..."

I feel cold in my abdomen and am vomiting clear water.

I've found the symptom!

"Do you still have bloating in your stomach or swelling in your feet?" Hinata Neon asked.

Yuhi Kaori's eyes lit up: "Yes, yes, yes, there is this!"

"And she has diarrhea!" Kurenai added from the side, "My mom has diarrhea!"

Yuhi Kazuko glared at him: "What nonsense are you spouting!"

Hinata Neon glanced at Yuhi Kurenai and thought, "You really are a good daughter to your mother."

However, this is indeed a very obvious symptom, and it's something that Hyuga Neon was too embarrassed to ask about, but thankfully Yuhi Kurenai revealed it.

"I think I know what the symptoms are!" Hinata Neon said decisively, "This is due to insufficient Qi and weak spleen Yang!"

"Wh-what?" Yuhi Kazuko blinked. Hinata Ningyuan spoke in Chinese because he didn't know how to say it in Japanese, so Yuhi Kazuko didn't understand!

"There's a vital energy in your body that sustains life, but yours is running low!" Hinata Neon explained. "The main problem lies with your spleen!"

Yuhi Kazuko's eyes widened: "You could tell I was injured here?"

"I'm a doctor!"

Looking at the confident Hyuga Ningyuan, Yuhi Heko was already somewhat convinced, and then asked, "Is there any way to cure my problem?"

Konoha Hospital really can't cure this disease, because there's no China in this world, and people can't steal Chinese medicine prescriptions to modify into Kampo medicine, so of course there's no prescription that matches the symptoms.

"Yes!" Hinata Neon said, "With dried ginger, psoralea corylifolia, nutmeg, atractylodes macrocephala, and long pepper, eh?"

"What's wrong?" Yuhi Kazuko asked.

"Hold on!"

The medical books only list what medicines to use, but they don't explain how to use them!

"Let's make some brown sugar water and ginger soup first, and drink some every day!" Hyuga Ningyuan thought again that the names of the Chinese herbs in this barefoot doctor's manual might not be the same as those in the ninja world, and he might not be able to find the medicine by these names.

Fortunately, ginger is a seasoning that can be bought at the market.

"Let me learn some medical ninjutsu first, and then I'll treat Auntie!" Hinata Ningyuan said.

"Oh, no need, no need!" Yuhi Kazuko quickly said, "You're destined for great things, you should focus on learning ninjutsu, taijutsu, and genjutsu, why bother learning medical ninjutsu!"

"If I don't learn medical ninjutsu, am I just going to watch Auntie grow weaker in front of me?" Hyuga Ningyuan shook his head and said, "If I really can't do it, so be it. But I clearly have the ability, so why not give it a try!"

Yuhi Kazuko has been watching Yuhi Shinku teach Hyuga Neon these past two days, and has indeed gained some understanding of Hyuga Neon's learning speed.

If he could learn medical ninjutsu this quickly, maybe it really would work?

After all, it's the child's way of showing filial piety, and learning more is never a bad thing.

She stopped trying to persuade her.

So, after returning home, Yuhi Shinku taught Hyuga Neiyuan two more basic genjutsu techniques and then heard Hyuga Neiyuan's request.

"Father-in-law, if I wish to learn medical ninjutsu, do you have any connections?"

"Why do you suddenly want to learn medical ninjutsu?" Yuhi Shinku asked curiously.

"I feel I have a strong learning ability, but there isn't much to learn each day, so a lot of time is wasted!" Hinata Ningyuan said, "Studying medicine is both to cherish time and for Auntie's sake."

Hinata Neon turned to look at the thin, pale-faced Yuhi Kazuko: "Perhaps after studying medicine, I'll have a way to treat Auntie!"

"This..." Yuhi Shinku looked at his wife, who had remained ill since giving birth to Yuhi Kurenai, and tears instantly welled up in his eyes.

The ninja world doesn't have a tradition of governing the world with filial piety, but it is still a traditional virtue. So at this moment, Yuhi Shinku, who already recognized Hyuga Neon, felt even more fortunate.

Fortunately, I was patient and tested him.

Otherwise, if I were to drive such a good child away, I would probably regret it to death!

"It's good that you have this intention, but a person's energy is, well," he meant to say that a person's energy is limited, but Hyuga Ningyuan seemed to be an exception.

Illusion techniques are always easy to learn; the reason you can't learn them is because you don't have enough chakra, not because ninjutsu is too difficult.

So for a genius, it would be a waste not to learn more!

Besides, the child meant well, didn't he?

"I'll ask around for you tomorrow!" Kurenai Yuhi said earnestly after thinking for a moment.

"Mmm!" Hinata Neon nodded emphatically.
