Chapter 135 The Humanitarian Medical Rescue Team of Kirigakure Village

"Where is Shennong? Bring him to me."

After dealing with these trivial matters, Hozuki Shingetsu finally had time to meet the famous figure who had just launched a sneak attack on Konoha and was now rising to prominence in the ninja world.

Indeed, news of the theft of Konoha's home village has spread throughout the ninja world with the help of some unknown enthusiastic individuals. Moreover, the details of the damage to Konoha, especially the complete demise of those Warring States period elders, have been circulated in great detail.

Well, for the sake of information authenticity, the grand pronouncements of those Warring States period elders before their deaths were also widely circulated by enthusiastic individuals.

It was precisely these details, coupled with corroborating evidence from various traveling merchants in Konoha at the time, that convinced the various forces across the ninja world of the authenticity of this information.

Therefore, when this news reached the battlefield of the Land of Rain, the morale of Konoha plummeted, while the morale of Kumogakure and Sunagakure soared.

The more worried the Konoha ninjas were about their wives, children, and parents left behind in Konoha, the more excited the Kumogakure and Sunagakure ninjas on the other side were.

Under these circumstances, even after verifying the authenticity of the information, Onoki couldn't help but break the agreement and once again send troops to the Land of Rain battlefield to join forces with Kumogakure and Sunagakure to attack Konoha.

There's nothing we can do. Konoha didn't deploy Wood Release or Susanoo despite such a devastating attack. What does that prove?

This proves that, just as the leaders of the various ninja villages guessed, Konoha was completely unable to control the Wood Release and Mangekyou Sharingan that suddenly appeared in the wilderness of the Land of Rain!

If that's the case, then what does Iwagakure have to fear?

Why not seize this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and beat Konoha to a pulp?

As for the ceasefire agreement...

For the shameless Onoki, that stuff wasn't even as good as toilet paper.

As a result of this shift in power, Konoha's defenses retreated repeatedly. It is said that even the grandson of Hashirama Senju, the God of Shinobi, perished in this offensive due to a moment of carelessness, despite being under the careful protection of Orochimaru and Danzo Shimura. The dire situation Konoha was in at this time was evident.

According to the principles of relativity, the more wretched and miserable Konoha was at this time, the more glorious and prosperous the reputations of Shennong and Kongnin Villages became, which led them to such a state.

However, it is estimated that no one in the ninja world could have imagined that Shennong, who had only been in the limelight for a few hours, would be captured by people from Kirigakure and become a prisoner.

Clang!

The prison door opened, and Shennong, after several days of living in darkness, finally saw the sun again.

"Are you Shennong?"

Hozuki Shingetsu looked at the middle-aged man who had been brought before her, her eyes filled with a hint of scrutiny.

Although he already knew about Shennong's actions from the original work, Hozuki Shingetsu was still deeply moved when Shennong actually led the Sky Ninja Village to deliver a devastating blow to Konoha.

Compared to Konoha, Shennong's Hidden Village was like an ant before an elephant.

Now, this ant actually took advantage of the elephant's inattention and used a completely new way of attack to bite the elephant hard, causing the elephant to scream in agony. This is truly a unique kind of irony.

"So you really can't underestimate anyone! Otherwise, you might suffer a big setback at any time."

Hozuki Shingetsu silently admonished himself.

"Indeed, I am Shennong. You must be the renowned 'Ninja Demon Fox,' Lord Hozuki Shingetsu?"

Shennong, seeing Yagura standing quietly behind Hozuki Shingetsu with a subtly respectful demeanor, immediately guessed Hozuki Shingetsu's identity.

Have you heard my story?

Looking at Shennong, who had a submissive expression, Hozuki Shingetsu asked with great interest.

This is nothing like what he imagined! He thought Shennong, who had suddenly fallen from a regional ruler to a prisoner, would look arrogant and unruly when he saw him. It seems that his time in the dark room these past few days has made him think things through!

"If a leader of a ninja village doesn't even know the famous 'Ninja Demon Fox,' then that would be a huge failure."

Shennong knelt on the ground, respectfully answering Hozuki Shingetsu's questions.

As for why Shennong was so sensible... it's simple, he was defeated and subdued!

If we were talking about a time before he encountered Yagura Karatachi, when he was basking in the glory of his attack on Konoha, if Shinno had met Shingetsu Hozuki back then, he probably would have acted as Shinno asked him, with an arrogant air, why he didn't bow to him.

But now... he now has a deep understanding of why the Five Great Ninja Villages are called the Five Great Ninja Villages. He was captured by Yagura's subordinates without even seeing his face.

Yagura Karatachi was Hozuki Shingetsu's subordinate, but Kirigakure, where Hozuki Shingetsu lived, wasn't even among the top-ranked of the Five Great Shinobi Villages.

All things considered, his successful raid on Konoha, the strongest ninja village in the world, and his effortless acquisition of what he desired, was truly a stroke of incredible luck, as if the Sage of Six Paths had possessed him. Any smug satisfaction he felt at having managed to steal Konoha's elite forces had completely vanished.

Moreover, he and his fortress have now become prisoners of Kirigakure. Having figured things out during his days of imprisonment, he naturally knows how he should behave now.

"If there is anything I can do for you, Lord Hozuki, please feel free to ask."

"very good!"

Seeing Shennong's sensible attitude, Hozuki Shingetsu was very satisfied. He liked people who knew how to be pragmatic, as it saved everyone the trouble of being spared the punishment.

"In that case, why don't you go to Kirigakure Hospital and become its vice-director? While you're at it, open a medical advanced class at the Ninja Academy, recruit some kids with talent in medical ninjutsu, and teach them medical ninjutsu specifically!"

With a wave of his hand, Hozuki Shingetsu directly determined Shennong's future fate.

Apart from his remarkable medical ninjutsu, Shennong's skills were utterly insignificant to him.

Furthermore, Shennong's medical ninjutsu is quite different from Tsunade's. If Tsunade's medical ninjutsu is more inclined towards "ninjutsu", then Shennong's medical ninjutsu is more inclined towards "medical arts".

As can be seen from the original work, the treatment methods of the Konoha lineage are basically the same. Generally, they use the Palm Healing Technique, with their hands glowing green and placed close to the chest of the patient. Shennong's treatment methods are very similar to Western medicine in his previous life, and you can often see instruments and methods such as scalpels, needles and thread, and sutures.

Although doctors from Konoha also use these things in their treatments, they generally only use them for more serious illnesses. For example, when Rock Lee encountered Gaara during the Chunin Exams, treating his complicated injuries required advanced medical ninjutsu combined with sophisticated instruments.

For minor injuries and illnesses, Konoha ninjas can basically cure everything with a single Palm Healing Technique.

However, its essence is to enhance the cell activity of the recipient and cure the disease by increasing their immunity, which requires extremely precise chakra manipulation.

In terms of promotion effectiveness, Shennong's treatment method, which does not require precise chakra manipulation, is naturally easier to promote.

Moreover, compared to the five great ninja villages, Kirigakure's medical technology is only barely passable.

It's definitely incomparable to Konoha. Konoha has Tsunade in charge and was the first to propose the establishment of corresponding systems for hospitals and medical ninjas. Its level of medical ninjutsu can be said to be far ahead of the other five great ninja villages.

Medical ninjutsu is different from ordinary ninjutsu. Sometimes you can learn ordinary ninjutsu by stealing it, but who can steal medical ninjutsu on the battlefield!

Under such circumstances, one cannot expect the medical ninjutsu of Kirigakure to be particularly advanced. Consequently, the skill level of both the doctors in the hospital and the teachers in the medical skills class at the ninja academy can only be described as barely acceptable.

Therefore, the moment Hozuki Shingetsu met Shennong, he decided to let him use his expertise in the medical field, to teach and mentor others at Kirigakure Hospital, and to teach medical skills to the students in the medical specialty class at the Ninja Academy.

In short, he should forget about the Eight Gates, the Zero Tail, or revitalizing the Hidden Cloud Village for the rest of his life. He should just stay in the Hidden Mist Village hospital, shine in the medical field, and wait for others to exploit all his knowledge.

After all, we can't let down the name Shennong, can we?

Shennong was very unwilling when he heard this order.

He knew that once he accepted this order, it would essentially mean cutting ties with his former self.

From now on, he would no longer live for the Sky Village, nor would he be its leader. Instead, he would be an ordinary ninja or a slightly famous doctor in the Hidden Mist Village, a situation he was undoubtedly unwilling to accept.

However, being at the mercy of others, Shennong had no choice but to submit to their fate, as his life and death were entirely in their hands.

"With renowned instructors, we can now expand our medical skills training program... but where are we going to find so many patients?"

Looking at Shennong, who seemed to have lost his spirit and was walking unsteadily, Hozuki Shingetsu suddenly thought of this.

As an experiential skill, medical skills are inextricably linked to the number of times a doctor practices.

It could even be said that even if someone is slow to develop talent, as long as they have enough patients, they can become a highly skilled doctor.

But now that Kirigakure is free from war and conflict, and the hospital only has so many patients, who will be used for practice among the newly recruited students...?

"Humanitarian medical aid team!"

Suddenly, these words popped into Hozuki Shingetsu's mind.

The term "past life" appears very frequently in places around the world where wars break out. Aside from genuine acts of love and humanitarianism in treating wounded soldiers from underdeveloped countries, whether some countries actually used those patients to hone their medical skills is a matter of opinion.

And if we're talking about patients, where else could there be more patients and wounded than on the battlefield of the Land of Rain, where the four great powers, who fought to the death, were battling it out?
