Witty Naruto Life

Chapter 158 Mingying: Who told us to act so cool? (4K)

Chiyo was slightly stunned and looked at Uzumaki Naruto who was gently holding her shoulders.

The young man smiled at her, and for some reason, Chiyo suddenly felt the huge rock of depression in her heart crumble, but it only lasted for two or three seconds until Naruto released his hand from her shoulder.

Maki was stunned, a little surprised that Temari was traveling with them, but the entire medical team was instantly excited and they all stood up.

If they had come to modern society and surfed the Internet, the first thing they would say would be: I'm so tired!
Konoha's chief psychological counselor and the first captain of Konoha's medical team both arrived at the Sand Village!

What a magical combination!
Yamamoto stared at the two of them blankly, his face as if filled with three words:
impossible.

Why do you two look so young?!
This is not Yamamoto's fault. He had just joined the medical team not long ago. Apart from seeing many photos of Naruto and occasionally seeing a beautiful photo of Sakura, most of his understanding of Naruto and Sakura came from discussions with his predecessors.

Even if it was a photo, what he saw were photos from his youth a long time ago.

In Yamamoto's imagination, Naruto and Sakura should be the powerful combination of a mature uncle and a plump and beautiful woman, which would be the Return of the Condor Heroes in modern times.

No, to be precise, the two of them had not left Konoha for long... Yamamoto soon realized that the achievements of the two were so dazzling that he unconsciously imagined them as uncles and aunts, and he even believed it.

But this will not diminish the halo of the two. On the contrary, their youth has become a plus point, making the halo even more dazzling!

Finally, the squad leader was the first to react. He strode forward and shook hands with Ming Ying and the others. "I didn't expect you two to come. That's great. Both of Sunagakure's patients have been saved."

"Well, let me check on Kankuro first." Sakura said calmly, motioning everyone to make way so she could check on Kankuro.

"Kankuro!" Temari hurriedly ran over, but Sakura stopped her with her hand, signaling her not to shout.

On the other side, Chiyo came to her senses. She admitted that the term "hospice care" was indeed very humane and advanced. Coupled with the unknown set of tricks, she instantly stabilized her mind. Chiyo admitted that Naruto had fooled her just now.

Every word and every action is like this, the style of a king.

But she still stared at Kakashi, her eyes were like torches, and the hatred in her eyes condensed again. Then, she jumped up and pounced on Kakashi, whose dead fish eyes widened into peach blossom eyes!

"boom!"

Chiyo's pupils shrank as she found that her powerful punch was blocked by Naruto with one hand. The latter continued to release warmth, which made Chiyo's expression relax.

"Don't get excited, old woman, he's not the White Fang of Konoha, he's the son of the White Fang."

Maki on the side also reacted and explained repeatedly. Chiyo then realized that Konoha White Fang had died a long time ago, and she had cried for a long time because of this incident.

The feeling of not being able to take revenge with her own hands was too painful. Thinking of this, she felt a little uncomfortable in her heart again. Then Naruto held her hand again, and she felt much calmer.

It was not until then that Chiyo really began to take this young man seriously. His method was extremely cunning.

"What kind of ninjutsu is this? I have never seen it before." Chiyo looked at Naruto and asked in a deep voice.

"A new technique for treating psychological wounds. You can think of it as a new kind of medical ninjutsu."

The squad leader took a deep breath and looked at what the hell was emotional intelligence? How could they translate obstacles into wounds?

Although the word "wound" still has a derogatory meaning, it is much better than the hearing impairment.

The squad leader even felt like he was witnessing history. Perhaps in the near future, psychological barriers will be used in internal training, and psychological wounds will be used in external communication with patients.

Maybe it will become a new industry norm.

"A brand new medical ninjutsu... What's your name?"

"My name is Uzumaki Naruto. That person just now was Tsunade's apprentice Haruno Sakura. She was responsible for treating Kankuro's poison wound."

Naruto deliberately did not mention his name, appearing very humble. Chiyo nodded after hearing this:

"One heals the body, the other heals the mind. If I'm not mistaken, the two of you should be the backbone of Konoha's medical field, right?"

This evaluation is very high, but it is not an exaggeration by Chiyo. The main reason is that Mingying's performance just now was too professional, it was like a dimensionality reduction attack.

"Of course, you two are the future of our Konoha... I'm sorry!" Yamamoto couldn't help but raise his voice a little, but then realized that he was too noisy and quickly covered his mouth.

The squad leader had a sullen face and ordered his colleagues to pull him to the door and ask them to serve him tea and water.

Naruto didn't get annoyed after seeing this, and smiled at Chiyo, saying, "Energetic younger generations are also a necessary component for the development of the medical industry."

Here's an interesting detail: Naruto is currently about five years younger than Yamamoto.

"That's right." Chiyo agreed, noting that Naruto's choice of words was very chosen, not like a professional scholar, but more like a politician.

But Naruto's identity is more special than Chiyo thought: he is all of them.

Everyone remained silent, watching Sakura's actions. Next, it was her turn to perform.

She just observed it briefly, put it close to her chest and listened to her heartbeat, and then she made a preliminary judgment.

"All of you gather around."

After hearing this, the medical ninjas gathered around, and Chiyo also followed to watch.

Approaching Kankuro, the smell of disinfectant mixed with rust hit her face. Sakura said in a serious atmosphere:
"We all know that the poison he was poisoned with this time was a modified toxin. Can anyone tell me what the toxin's ingredients are that we can currently identify?"

Everyone was silent. The squad leader hesitated for a moment and said, "There should be rock spider eggs that block the flow of chakra, acid bacteria that corrode internal organs, and..."

"Ricinine, slows down metabolism," Sakura added, and everyone nodded slowly.

Chiyo looked at Sakura quietly, feeling a little surprised. This young girl was actually testing everyone?

"However, as a modified toxin, its composition is more complex, and it has already shown symptoms of hemolysis. Look, the cyanosis on his body has spread to his collarbone..."

Sakura analyzed Kankuro's current injury to everyone, then she listed twelve kinds of medicinal herbs and asked the Sunagakure doctor to take a look to see if there were any omissions.

Judging from the original work, there should be no shortage of it.

"...So, the hemolytic toxin must be blocked first. Do you understand?"

"I understand." All the doctors said in unison, and at the same time they had a sense of clarity, just like a teacher commenting on a math test and the students below suddenly exclaiming, "Oh~" that everything is clear.

They are not completely blind, but they are hesitant on some key details, but it is these details that determine the success or failure of excellent doctors and mediocre doctors.

The doctors carried out their work in an orderly manner. Some were responsible for checking the medicinal materials in the medicine garden, some were responsible for cleaning the operating table, and some were discussing the details of the upcoming operation with Sakura.

The surgical method is the same as in the original novel, using a special liquid to draw out the toxins in Kankuro's body and then neutralize them.

Seeing everyone like this, Maki felt relieved. He was still under a lot of psychological pressure. Gaara's abduction was bad enough, and losing Kankuro would definitely make him the one to blame. Meanwhile, Naruto was also feeling some doubts. It was more like he understood everything the moment he saw Chiyo.

Naruto himself is able to sense malice, and the warmth he just passed to Chiyo's hand was also thanks to him.

However, the original body can only suppress negative emotions, but cannot eradicate them, and he also has to spend energy to suppress the psychological shadow of traveling through Ming.

But no matter what, the so-called target of psychological treatment is undoubtedly Grandma Chiyo.

Her identity just fits the bill: [Not that important, but if people from other villages find out, Sunagakure will lose face.]

Don't make it seem like Sunagakure is abusing a centenarian.

"So, should we change the original plot next..." Naruto knew very well that if Chiyo died at this point, the negative emotions left after her death would become nourishment for the Black Hand, which he could never allow.

Speaking of which, he had clashed with Black Hand more than once in these years, especially a year ago. For some reason, the frequency of his activities suddenly increased, as if he had encountered some unexpected changes.

But this is not important. What is important is that Naruto now needs to clear Chiyo's inner demons.

"It's better not to let Chiyo die... As everyone knows, Chiyo's death is due to Gaara's death, so we just need to recapture Gaara before Deidara and the other two."

"I still have some confidence in this."

"But how do we break the inner demons of Chiyo?"

By this time, Naruto and Sakura have reached a unified consensus on how to eliminate the psychological trauma of the natives/time travelers.

The treatment options can be roughly divided into three levels:
The first level: directly use conventional psychological treatment methods (the same ones on Earth) to resolve the patient's psychological problems, such as Naruto persuading Gaara through letters and conversations;

The second level: weaken the inner demon based on persuasion, and use the fragments to enter the memory space to solve the problem, such as solving Tsunade's hemophobia;
The third level: directly enter the memory space and fight hard, such as Naruto alone in the Sakura copy, which has the highest risk and the greatest damage.

The first level is undoubtedly the most perfect and has the lowest risk, but the difficulty is hard to say and depends on the situation.

After much thought, Naruto felt that there were too many factors to consider, and it would be better to focus on persuading Chiyo to accept treatment for the time being.

I just noticed her reaction and she seems to be somewhat resistant to psychotherapy.

Chiyo also looked at Naruto and asked casually, "Do you in Konoha often see patients with various mental disorders now?"

Naruto smiled and nodded, then immediately asked, "Granny, are you interested in this?"

He didn't just say 'please treat me', that would have been too rude.

But it's a good thing that she is willing to understand, which shows that she is not the kind of person who sticks to the old ways.

"Well, I'm a little interested. I just heard a lot about that guy next to me." She nodded to the side, and Yamamoto immediately stood up and smiled apologetically, looking a little embarrassed.

I just said too many wrong things. I don't know if Naruto-sama will scold me later... But the squad leader will definitely scold me...

"Ah, I see..." Naruto nodded without comment.

Chiyo laughed: "I thought you were going to officially defend psychological treatment again. That guy just said a lot of wrong things."

You see, although Qian doesn't express her opinion on the surface, she actually knows everything. This may be the top consciousness of an old and powerful person.

Unexpectedly, Naruto smiled and shook his head: "I think anyone can discuss psychotherapy. It's fine for them to think about it in any way. All we have to do is let the correct voice take over the mainstream."

"Letting correct voices lead the mainstream doesn't mean extinguishing other views. Perhaps those views also have their own rationality."

Just like many people think that girls from Sichuan and Chongqing are fierce, in fact most of them are very gentle, but you cannot deny that both fierce girls and gentle girls objectively exist.

Chiyo was a little surprised. She thought that as the chief advisor, Naruto would seriously refute those opinions that sounded bad. Unexpectedly, his ideas were so open-minded.

This quality is rare. Often, it is precisely the inclusiveness that allows one to learn from many others, while those who stick to their own ways will be left stranded on the beach.

But Chiyo also realized that this so-called psychotherapy could only be done with the help of the young man in front of her who seemed to have a high level of thinking.

Immediately, her evaluation of Uzumaki Naruto rose to a new level.

"...Tell me about it." Chiyo was silent for a long time, and suddenly said.

"say what?"

"My illness."

Naruto was stunned at first, then laughed and said, "You should be the one telling me. The key to psychological counseling is for you to talk and we are responsible for listening."

"Is it really that simple just to listen?" Chiyo raised her eyebrows.

"Of course it's not that simple, but only after we hear your story can we prescribe the right medicine. However, these 'medicines' are not ordinary medicines."

"For example?"

"For example, if a young person has been lonely and empty for a long time and is blocking himself off from the world, we would suggest that he get a pet or go out and see the world."

“…it sounds more like chicken soup for the soul.”

Naruto smiled, "If all patients' troubles were this simple, I would also hope that all 'medicine' was as simple as chicken soup for the soul."

"What if it's serious? Do I have to seal my memory?"

"It's not that simple and crude. Often we will use some real medication to supplement the treatment, but this also means that the patient's condition is very serious."

After hearing this, Chiyo looked a little dejected: "So this is my current situation... a late stage mental illness?"

Naruto felt a little moved. This powerful man who had been famous for many years left nothing behind in his later years. His son was dead and his grandson was about to die.

If the plot continues as it is, she herself will soon become the firewood of Sunagakure, burning herself to illuminate Gaara and become a stepping stone for the legendary Kazekage.

It sounds so sad.

Naruto hates the phrase "XXX's family is full of loyal heroes", especially after traveling through the ninja world.

It's so disgusting.

Thinking of this, Naruto looked at Chiyo again.
