Chapter 17 Wolfhound Girl Inuzuka Tsuru
Seeing that there were no patients for the time being, he wrote an application to learn the A-rank medical ninjutsu "Chakra Scalpel" and prepared to hand it to Teacher Biwako on Monday.
He originally intended to "clear his name" of the ninjutsu rewarded by the system as soon as possible, and asking Tsunade for advice was more about bringing up the topic later.
He genuinely wanted to learn sealing techniques.
The power of sealing techniques is beyond doubt—since the destruction of Uzushiogakure, the most complete and strongest knowledge of sealing techniques in the ninja world has been concentrated in Konoha.
To learn sealing techniques, one must either gain the favor of the Third Hokage, receive help from Kushina Uzumaki, or be instructed by Tsunade.
Xingyuan Qianshuo naturally chose to follow Tsunade's path.
If the system rewards sealing techniques in the future, I can take the opportunity to clear my name; even if it doesn't, it's still good to learn them.
In the afternoon, he treated seven or eight more ordinary civilians, but his efforts yielded little reward, receiving only a few meager sums.
Just when he thought he wouldn't encounter any familiar ninja characters today, the nurse knocked on the door.
Xingyuan Qianshuo followed the nurse to the veterinary room.
The hospital does not currently have a dedicated veterinarian; such cases are usually handled by the on-duty medical ninjas.
In the veterinary room lay an injured adult wolfhound, with three ninjas of sixteen or seventeen years old standing beside it.
The wolfhound had a black back and white belly. The right half of its face was wrapped in bandages with blood seeping out, while its left ear was missing but had no blood, as if it were an old wound.
Beside the wolfhound stood a girl with spiky hair, brown hair, and the Inuzuka clan's signature red inverted triangle facial markings on her cheeks. Her eyes were sharp, dot-shaped vertical pupils.
She was wearing a Chunin vest, and there was a wound on her left shoulder from a claw cut. Fortunately, it wasn't deep and had been simply bandaged.
Behind her stood a man and a woman of similar age, not wearing Chunin vests, so they were probably Genin. They were covered in dust and looked worried, but had no obvious wounds.
"Xia Mei, Zhi Fu, don't worry, it's just a minor injury. We'll go turn in the mission in a bit," the spiky-haired girl reassured her casually.
"Claw, it's all our fault for holding us back," the girl named Xia Mei said in a low voice, sounding guilty.
"Haha, don't worry about it, that's what happens when I'm the captain!" The girl waved her hand heartily, then turned to see Hoshino Senju. "The doctor's here, she'll be fine soon."
Xingyuan Qianshuo glanced at it and it was clear that the wolfhound's injuries were more serious.
He introduced himself simply: "My name is Xingyuan Qianshuo."
"Inuzuka Claw"
"Black Ball".
"Hello doctor, my name is Natsumi Arifuku."
"My name is Tomoo Ichii."
"Inuzuka Tsurugi and Kuromaru... the mother of Kiba Inuzuka, one of the future Konoha 12, and that one-eyed ninja dog. Could Kuromaru's eye injury be from this incident?" Hoshigen Chisaku thought to himself as he nodded to the others and knelt down to examine Kuromaru's injury.
He quickly conducted the examination and then used the system to examine both the person and the dog separately:
Name: Kuromaru
[Condition: Tear and laceration of the right eye, contusion of the right claw]
Name: Inuzuka Tsuru
[Condition: Laceration on left shoulder]
"Everyone, Blackie's right eye has been torn and damaged, and cannot be fully restored. But if you can find a suitable eye, we can consider a transplant."
Xingyuan Qianshuo calmly explained the situation.
"Transplant?" Inuzuka Tsuru paused for a moment, not responding directly, but looking at Kuromaru instead.
"I don't want to use other people's eyes!" Black Maru refused gruffly.
"Although a full recovery is not possible, I can maintain the activity of the blood vessels, nerves, and chakra pathways connecting the eyeball and the brain. This way, you will still have the opportunity for a transplant in the future, and you can make a decision at any time," Xingyuan Qianshuo proposed a compromise.
The eye has a delicate structure and highly differentiated internal tissues, making it extremely difficult to repair once damaged.
However, transplantation is relatively simple—it only requires repairing the connection between the eye and brain.
There are quite a few examples of eye transplants in the original work; Madara Uchiha was even able to make them "plug and play".
There are also cases of directly repairing eyes. For example, Naruto once used the Sage of Six Paths' chakra to perform Yin-Yang Release, instantly restoring Kakashi's left eye, although he himself couldn't explain the principle behind it.
Treating Inuzuka Tsurugi's left shoulder and Kuromaru's right paw injuries was quite simple: clean the wounds and then use palm magic to precisely manipulate the tissues and cells to heal.
Treating the eyeball is quite challenging. To improve the prognosis, Xingyuan Qianshuo even went to Tsunade's office for advice.
Even so, the treatment took nearly half an hour. In the end, Kuroko's right eye could only perceive light and could not see clearly.
Importantly, the connection system between the eyeball and the brain remains normal and does not atrophy, preserving the possibility of future transplantation.
After seeing the others off, Xingyuan Qianshuo had no choice but to sit quietly and rest to recover his depleted chakra.
After resting, he opened the system panel in the examination room and checked the prompts:
[You have healed the laceration on Inuzuka Tsuru's left arm and shoulder, and have received the following rewards: Sensitive Sense of Smell (Proficient), Chakra +20]
[You have healed Blackball's right eye injury and right paw contusion, and have received the following rewards: Agility increased by 10%, and Animal Affinity significantly increased.]
[Due to a significant increase in animal affinity, the following talent skill has been generated: Animal Affinity (Beginner)]
After receiving the memories and information input by the system, Xingyuan Qianshuo carefully sensed them and pondered, "I never thought I could acquire talent skills in this way."
Primary animal affinity is more like a change in temperament and aura; he cannot feel the specific changes for the time being, nor can he cultivate and improve it on his own.
Another unique benefit of treating the Black Orb is the increase in agility, which is no longer due to memory transfer but rather a genuine physical transformation.
It not only optimizes the physiological structure of muscles and tendons, but also enhances nerve control and reaction speed, resulting in comprehensive physical function enhancement.
He felt a tingling sensation all over his body, like a mild electric shock, which lasted for about half a minute.
This modification to the physical foundation also slightly improves the effectiveness of agility-related skills such as physical techniques and teleportation techniques; the specific effects can only be felt during training.
However, he believes that this improvement is similar to an enhancement in chakra control, and that diligent training in the near future can also accelerate the improvement of proficiency in skills such as taijutsu and throwing of hidden weapons.
The "sensitive sense of smell" rewarded by Inuzuka Tsurugi is a family secret technique of the Inuzuka clan, which can concentrate chakra in the nose and obtain a sense of smell tens of thousands of times stronger than that of an ordinary person.
"Fortunately, the system rewards are like something I cultivated myself; my sense of smell has an innate ability to adapt."
Xingyuan Qianshuo tried to concentrate his chakra at his nose, and immediately, all sorts of olfactory information that he couldn't normally perceive came rushing in:
The lingering scents of Kuromaru, Inuzuka Tsurugi and his companions, Tsunade's scent; the nurses' scent in the room, the scent of patients treated that day; the smell of disinfectant, the pervasive herbal aroma...
The odor information is chaotic and elusive.
He filtered out irrelevant scents and focused on sensing the lingering scent of Tsunade on his body.
This is the most attractive of all the scents, as if it recreates Tsunade's image in my mind through its aroma.
This feeling was peculiar, but it also made him a little guilty.
Xingyuan Qianshuo stopped this behavior with his strong willpower—he was really afraid that this ability would twist his mind and cause him to develop some kind of special fetish.
