"That's right, Lord Orochimaru."
Chiba's mind raced, and almost instantly he came up with an explanation: "What I just used was not the Palm Healing Technique, but a brand new medical ninjutsu that I modified."
"Oh?"
Upon hearing this, Orochimaru showed an intrigued expression and nodded slightly, signaling Chiba to continue.
"Even the gentlest chakra entering another person's body will trigger a 'rejection' reaction, and this is precisely the mechanism of the Palm Healing Technique—it achieves a healing effect by stimulating the activity of cells in the patient's injured area."
"Rope Tree's condition was really bad just now. If we had used the Palm Healing Technique, it might have directly damaged his already fragile circulatory system," Chiba said with a serious expression, spouting nonsense.
"So, I had a sudden inspiration: if I could control the vibration of the chakra input into Nawaki's body and make it match the frequency of the chakra within Nawaki's body, perhaps I could bypass the body's 'rejection' reaction and directly repair Nawaki's injuries."
"I admit, there was an element of gambling involved," Chiba concluded.
"Hiss..."
Orochimaru licked his lips, remaining silent, his golden vertical pupils scrutinizing Chiba from head to toe, making Chiba tremble with fear.
Fortunately, the system's modifications to Chiba were extremely subtle, and Orochimaru, after examining the area, found nothing unusual.
"This is a genius!"
Orochimaru internally gave his assessment of Chiba.
This boy not only has a scientific understanding of the human body system, but his control over chakra may even surpass that of an elite Jonin.
"Chiba, I admire you."
Orochimaru became interested and asked directly, "Would you be willing to become my disciple, Orochimaru?"
"So, I'll become your disciple, and then come back to be sliced up and studied by you?"
Without a second thought, Chiba politely declined, saying, "Lord Orochimaru, I have no plans to become your apprentice for the time being. Could you give me some time to consider it?"
"Hiss."
Orochimaru understood Chiba's implied meaning and laughed: "Not everyone is qualified to become my disciple, Orochimaru. Think it over carefully. My suggestion is valid indefinitely."
A murmur of surprise rippled through the crowd, clearly indicating that many were puzzled as to why Chiba would refuse the opportunity to establish a connection with the Hokage's lineage.
"So, Chiba really just wanted to save Nawaki?"
"His noble character and integrity are beyond my reach..."
"Alas, we were judging others by our own petty standards just now," everyone sighed sincerely.
"Damn it, damn it, damn it!"
Wu Gang, standing to the side, was practically dying of jealousy: "Lord Orochimaru, Chiba is ungrateful! Why don't you choose me as your disciple!"
After the storm.
Chiba didn't even have time to catch his breath before rushing off to the next wounded soldier.
Don't ask, the answer is we're in a hurry to stock up!
[Ding! Treatment successful. Congratulations, host, you have gained good looks... System error! System error!]
[Host's appearance has reached its limit and cannot be increased. The reward has been changed to +1 for length!]
"what?!"
After seeing the system notification, Chiba was a little worried. He was already overweight, how was he going to find a partner if he grew any taller?
[Ding! Healing successful. Congratulations, host, you have obtained "Fire Release: Small Fireball Technique"!]
[Ding! Treatment successful. Congratulations, host...]
After all the treatment, Chiba only received some useless things. He realized with some melancholy that what matters is not quantity, but quality.
"Such powerful chakra control... Such a genius is truly enviable!"
Orochimaru withdrew his gaze from Chiba and made up his mind that he would find a way to get his hands on Chiba after this war was over.
"Holy crap, Chiba, you actually brought him back to life?!"
When Hiroshi Nohara stepped back into the tent, his jaw nearly dropped to the ground in astonishment. However, what surprised him even more was yet to come.
"what?!"
"Lord Orochimaru even offered to take you as his apprentice? And you actually refused?!"
"Such a good opportunity, why don't you cherish it? If you don't want to give it to me, fine," Hiroshi Nohara said half-jokingly.
Chiba scratched his head and chuckled, "Team Leader Nohara, I don't have any grand ambitions. I just want to be a good medical ninja and continue to save lives."
"You kid..."
Hiroshi Nohara patted Chiba on the shoulder, said nothing more, and turned to leave.
"You're Chiba?"
Not long after, just as Chiba was preparing to find his next patient, an arrogant voice came from beside him.
"Ok?"
Chiba frowned slightly and looked up to see a man wearing a Chunin vest walking swaggering towards him.
"I am Inoue Shingen. I've heard you're a good doctor. Come with me; my sister needs your help with her treatment," the man said in a commanding tone.
Clearly, news of Chiba saving Nawaki had already reached other camps.
"This guy……"
Chiba was very unhappy with Inoue Shin'en's arrogant attitude.
However, adhering to the principles of a doctor, Chiba patiently asked, "What is the patient's strength? How serious are their injuries? Do they urgently need treatment?"
"Why are you talking so much nonsense? If I didn't urgently need medical treatment, why would I be looking for you?"
Inoue Madara said irritably, "Just come with me. My sister's face was slashed by a kunai, and we've been waiting for ages without a single medical ninja showing up. I have to come out and find one myself!"
"...What the hell?"
Chiba's mind went blank for a moment: "Besides the wound on your face, does your sister have any other serious injuries?"
"What do you mean by 'besides the wound on your face'?!"
Inoue Maoen was displeased: "A girl's face was injured! Isn't that serious?"
Damn it!
Chiba's face darkened completely: "Inoue Shinen, is it? I don't have time to play your nonsense. Please leave. I still have other patients to treat."
"Kid, how dare you refuse me?!"
Inoue Shin'en never expected to be rejected by a mere teenager, and his voice instantly turned cold: "Do you know what the name 'Inoue Clan' means in Konoha?"
Everyone in Chiba was numb.
What Inoue clan? A clan that didn't even appear by name in the original story, not even worthy of being background characters, what makes you so arrogant?!
"I'll say it again, leave! Don't get in my way of treating the injured who need help more!" Chiba said impatiently, unable to contain himself any longer.
"You bastard, you think I was being too nice to you just now?!"
Inoue Mako's face darkened completely. He pointed at Chiba and angrily rebuked, "How dare you, a commoner without even a surname, speak to me in such an attitude?"
"I think this young man is right."
At this moment, a figure walked up to Chiba's side and looked at Inoue Maoen with a calm expression, saying, "If you have nothing else to do, you'd better leave as soon as possible. Don't cause trouble here and interfere with other people's work."
"you……!!"
Inoue Shinen was about to get angry, but the moment he saw the small flame fan on the other's chest, his arrogant aura vanished instantly.
In Konoha, it's true that the Inoue clan has some influence, but in the eyes of the clan members, they can only be considered an insignificant, low-ranking clan.
"Yes, yes, sir, you are right. I will leave now."
After bowing to the figure, Inoue Shin'en was about to turn and leave when the figure called him back.
"Wait a minute, shouldn't you apologize to this young man before you leave?"
"Yes, yes, you're right. Young man, I apologize for my poor attitude earlier."
Inoue Shin'en hurriedly apologized to Chiba, completely different from his arrogant demeanor just moments before, and then slunk away from the tent.
"Um, you are...?"
Chiba glanced sideways at the figure, and for a moment, he saw the shadow of Uchiha Itachi in the other person.
"Hello, my name is Uchiha Fugaku."
The figure bowed slightly towards Chiba, speaking earnestly, "My friend's injury is rather serious; could you please take a look?"
Chapter 5 Why did you change wives, Fugaku?
Uchiha Fugaku!
The last patriarch of the Uchiha clan, the god of giving away freebies, and the father of a filial son!
"Everyone knows Itachi went easy on her, but no one knows Fugaku gave up so easily... That guy is a ruthless character too!"
Looking at the young man who wasn't much older than himself, Chiba had many thoughts flashing through his mind before finally nodding and saying, "Okay."
“Tell me about your friend,” Chiba asked as they hurried toward another tent.
"My friend accidentally inhaled some poisonous gas during a battle against Sunagakure and has been unconscious ever since. My medical ninjas are helpless... Sigh!"
With that, Fugaku sighed.
He somewhat regretted not taking advantage of his privilege as the young head of the Uchiha clan to bring two skilled medical ninjas from the clan to the battlefield.
"It seems this so-called friend is very important to Uchiha Fugaku," Chiba thought to himself.
"Dr. Chiba, this is my friend, Uchiha Miyu."
Led by Fugaku, the two arrived at another small tent, where only a woman lay unconscious, clearly the person Chiba was there to treat.
"Tsk tsk, a private room, huh? This treatment is truly befitting of the Uchiha clan."
Uchiha Miyu looked to be the same age as Fugaku. She had a gentle appearance and a good figure. Chiba quickly took over and examined her carefully.
The injured person's skin and mucous membranes were cherry red, the pupils were dilated, and the vital signs were weak, which were obvious symptoms of poisoning.
