Chapter 241

Kitazawa left the Ninja Academy and arrived at the office of the director of the Hidden Leaf Hospital.

"Lady Tsunade and Shizune haven't arrived yet."

Yakushi Nono thought for a moment and said, "If Itachi don't mind, I can teach Itachi."

"How could I possibly mind?"

Kitazawa shook his head quickly and asked, "Will it interfere with your work as director?"

"Itachi don't need to call me director. Just call me senior, like Shizune does."

Yakushi Nono said softly, "A long time ago, I had the honor of attending Lady Tsunade's lectures."

Kitazawa was slightly stunned, then he understood.

During the Second Shinobi World War, Tsunade proposed adding a medical ninja to every ninja squad to reduce casualties.

But due to limited conditions and the extreme difficulty of training medical ninjas, the proposal was not passed at the time.

Later, the Hidden Leaf Village established an experimental class for medical ninjas to begin training them.

Before leaving the Hidden Leaf Village, Tsunade had taught classes in that experimental medical ninja class.

"I can teach Itachi medical ninjutsu while I work."

Yakushi Nono smiled gently and said, "It won't cause any delays."

"Alright."

Kitazawa heard the confidence in her tone. "Thank Itachi, Senior Nono."

"Follow me."

As she walked, Yakushi Nono said, "The probability of ninjas being poisoned is very high. Another special jonin came in today."

"What kind of poison is he suffering from?"

Kitazawa asked curiously.

"A type of snake venom."

Yakushi Nono paused and said, "It was smeared on senbon."

Senbon are one of the common ninja tools; simply put, they are elongated iron needles.

To increase their lethality, they are often coated with poison.

The two of them chatted as they arrived at the operating room.

"Why are Itachi here? Senior Shiranui."

Kitazawa pushed open the door, saw the poisoned special jonin, and couldn't help but ask in surprise.

Of course, this Shiranui is not that Shiranui.

His name is Genma Shiranui, and he once served as a guard for the Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze, and even learned the Flying Thunder Formation Jutsu.

The Flying Thunder Formation Jutsu is equivalent to a weakened version of the Flying Thunder God Jutsu, requiring three people to perform it simultaneously.

Because there are too many restrictions, it cannot be used in combat at all and can only be used to transport supplies or ninjas when there is no interference.

But that was his past glory.

Since the death of the Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze, Genma Shiranui has become an ordinary special jonin.

The reason Kitazawa calls him senior is because Genma Shiranui is one year older than him.

"Aba aba."

As soon as Genma Shiranui opened his mouth, he uttered unintelligible sounds.

"Is your mouth poisoned?"

Kitazawa took a look and asked.

Genma Shiranui nodded.

"Itachi can chat after the treatment is finished."

Yakushi Nono reminded him.

"We can't chat right now anyway."

Kitazawa spread his hands and asked, "What do I need to do?"

"Go get the serum."

Yakushi Nono directed him while putting on medical gloves. "It's on the medicine shelf over there, serum number seven."

"...?"

Genma Shiranui's wide eyes were filled with confusion.

What is going on with this Kitazawa?

Isn't he a teacher at the Ninja Academy? Why is he working as an assistant in the Hidden Leaf Hospital?

But what happened next left him dumbfounded.

"Kitazawa, do Itachi know the Anesthesia Jutsu?"

Yakushi Nono walked in front of Genma Shiranui and said, "If Itachi do, anesthetize his mouth and tongue."

"I do."

Kitazawa reached out his hand and performed the Anesthesia Jutsu.

"How do Itachi know medical ninjutsu?"

Although Genma Shiranui couldn't speak, his face was already full of question marks.

Kitazawa said nothing, just kept maintaining the Anesthesia Jutsu.

"Prepare the Hemostasis Jutsu."

Yakushi Nono said with a smile, "The procedure is the same as yesterday's, Itachi don't need to be nervous."

I am nervous!

Genma Shiranui's pupils contracted.

He finally understood; he had become a teaching aid.

What is going on?

Kitazawa isn't teaching, he's learning medical ninjutsu?

Half an hour later, the surgery ended successfully.

"That suffocated me! I can finally open my... hiss!"

Genma Shiranui sat up, but halfway through his sentence, he clutched his mouth in pain and gasped.

"Itachi just finished surgery, Itachi still need to rest for two days."

Kitazawa reminded him.

Medical ninjutsu is not omnipotent.

It is more like emergency treatment; although it looks healed, the body's depletion cannot be recovered in a short time.

This is also why many people are still hospitalized at the Hidden Leaf Hospital.

"I... hiss... I'm fine."

Genma Shiranui couldn't suppress his inner curiosity and asked, "How do Itachi know medical ninjutsu?"

"I learned it."

Kitazawa said as if it were a matter of course.

"...?"

Genma Shiranui's mouth twitched.

Why does medical ninjutsu sound so simple coming from Itachi?

Among all ninjutsu, sealing jutsu, medical ninjutsu, and genjutsu are undoubtedly the most difficult to learn, especially the first two.

"Kitazawa is a genius at medical ninjutsu; he only learned it for half a month."

Yakushi Nono smiled and added.

"What?!"

Genma Shiranui was completely stunned.

"How did Itachi get poisoned?"

Kitazawa changed the subject and asked, "I remember that senbon are your specialty. Why would Itachi be injured by senbon?"

"This... it's a long story."

Embarrassment flashed across Genma Shiranui's face.

"Then make it a short story."

Kitazawa's curiosity was piqued.

"Fine."

Genma Shiranui coughed lightly and said, "I accidentally poisoned myself with my own senbon."

Kitazawa understood immediately.

Genma Shiranui likes to keep a senbon in his mouth.

He could probably imagine the scene: "This senbon of mine is coated with poison, slurp."

"Itachi two can come in."

Yakushi Nono opened the door to the operating room and called out.

Two nurses walked in immediately.

"Kitazawa."

Before being wheeled away, Genma Shiranui asked curiously, "Are Itachi learning medical ninjutsu from Director Nono?"

"No."

Kitazawa shook his head and said, "I'm learning from Lady Tsunade."

"???"

Genma Shiranui was completely dumbfounded.

Although he didn't know the full story, he knew Kitazawa would definitely rise to greatness.

Genma Shiranui couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

He once had this opportunity too.

Under normal circumstances, becoming a Hokage guard meant becoming part of the Hidden Leaf Village's high-level leadership.

For example, the current two Hokage advisors, Homura Mitokado and Koharu Utatane, were once guards for the Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju.

But good times didn't last; after the Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze, died, Genma Shiranui lost his position of importance.

After all, the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, had returned to office.

The ninjas he trusted were naturally his old partners.

"I'm late, sorry."

Shizune ran into the operating room in a hurry and said.

"It's fine."

Kitazawa shook his head and said, "I understand."

Itachi don't have to think to know who caused the problem.

Shizune couldn't help but feel moved.

After so many years, someone finally understands her.

After Shizune arrived at the Hidden Leaf Hospital, Yakushi Nono stopped teaching Kitazawa and went to attend to her own business.
