Training: Make way for the doctor
Another day inside the basement of a special building, the general hospital in Iwagakure no Sato. She had been taken under the wing of a special jounin, he had been working at this hospital for months and wanted to find someone he could teach his new found skills and since Amaya was a friend and so eager to train under him he chose her. The man walked next to the chuunin and placed a thick medical book in front of her. The book read
Medical Knowledge 101 Inside this book contained multiple low ranked Iijutsu, the chuunin had read a similar book on her previous adventures. One that took place outside of Iwagakure no Sato, where she had to learn some Iijutsu to save a sick boy in a fisher village.
"
Today you are going to learn one of the most important low ranked Iijutsu, you can't treat a wound without disinfecting it first. Else wise you might as well leave it open, since if you leave it disinfected it will lead to bacteria eating the wound from within and creating various infections which can lead to the point where one must amputate the infected area to keep it from spreading through out the body"
Amaya read the book as the young doctor spoke, she nodded and listened to his every word. Smiling at the thought of starting to work as a doctor as well. At least that could be a backup plan once she finished killing Dai, unless she wished to stay as a ninja. The ninja snapped out of her thoughts and continued reading. The jutsu the chuunin was going to learn was named
Sterilization Technique to start training for this jutsu the ninja needed a wound but before she could find someone to start the treatment the special jounin cut her shoulder with a scalpel. The chuunin jumped out of her chair, taking a deep breath to relieve the pain and before she could open her mouth and shout at the doctor the man smiled and told her.
"
Without a wound there wouldn't be any training for you and since you are under qualified to perform this on a patient i thought that it would be best to try this out on yourself. Don't worry about the shirt i'll pay for a new one"
The chuunin sighed then sat down, taking a piece of paper then proceeded to wipe away the blood from her skin. She then started to perform the set of hand seals written down on the book. Then the chuunin focused chakra on her hands hoping that it would work the first time, she wanted to impress the doctor but not in the "I have a crush on you" way, more in the way of a student that wants to impress her new mentor. The doctor then surprised her once again when he rubbed dirt on her shoulder, this stung even worse than the scalpel cut but it was all for the training. He then nodded once he finished rubbing it, smiling as he saw her hands now glowing in green chakra. She then placed her left hand on her shoulder, watched and amazed at the speed the dirt got eaten away by the sterilizing jutsu. She smiled as she had now cleaned her wound. He patted her on her back then told her to turn to page ten, he held his hands on his back and turned away from her, taking in a deep breath as he waited for her to finish up her reading. He hoped to teach her enough medical jutsu so she as well could start working here on her private time.

*Sterilization Technique
D-Ranked Ninjutsu
As sanitation cannot always be guaranteed in field operations, this technique provides a quick substitute to traditional sterilization methods. After focusing chakra into his/her hands, the user will channel the chakra throughout his/her upper body (torso, arms, hands, face). This chakra will chew away at harmful bacteria and other foreign bodies on the skin, cleansing it until it is thoroughly sterile. Of course, this takes both concentration and time, and in order to sterilize the entire upper body, it will take a duration of one (1) post. Users of this technique can also choose to sterilize certain parts of their upper body or the wounds of another person instead for a lesser concentration period. Once they are sanitized, they remain this way until coming in contact with more bacteria.
The chuunin turned to page fifteen as the doctored ordered, it described how one could sterilize other objects such as scalpels and clothes or anything really. This was not for the user or other peoples skin but for objects so it wasn't the same jutsu although in Amaya's mind it might as well have been but there was no point in complaining. She was here to learn and learn she shall. She sat down and read description of the jutsu and slowly studied the hand seals while the doctor went to his office and came back with a dirty scalpel. It had some blood on it, the blood was dry most likely days old as well. At first this was a disgusting view but the chuunin nodded then looked at the doctor.
"
Yes this is a filthy scalpel but with this jutsu you will be able to clean this up in no time. A ninja on the field might not have the luxury of having a sterilizing equipment or even clean water. Now how would one clean something important as a scalpel or a bandage? Well with that jutsu of course, heh. They say that a scalpel is a doctors pen and the pen is always mightier than the sword. . . Now i know it depends on whom is holding the sword but eh, I'd rather save a hundred lives than take them, not sure if my sanity would allow me to go on living like that"
The chuunin nodded once again then grabbed the scalpel, smiling at the doctor then started forming the needed hand seals to sterilize the scalpel, she closed her eyes and focused on sending out the chakra to the scalpel. At first she couldn't sense if it actually worked, the doctor patted her back and which gave her the false sensation that she had managed to perform the jutsu and once she opened her eyes she realized that she hadn't. She sighed but before she could talk back to the doctor he went on with one of his speeches.
"
This is a very common mistake in the medical field, this is not a regular ninjutsu Amaya. Iijutsu takes a lot more focus and the right amount of chakra control for you to master it, it's not a wham bam thank you mam"
The mans face went read as he said the last sentence as he realized that it might have been inappropriate for a young doctor to bring up a sex reference in this. He quickly turned around and told her to proceed as he left the room leaving Amaya to rise an eye brow since she had no clue what he meant by that nevertheless the chuunin went back to her work and focused harder. She wanted to hit the scalpel with the right amount of chakra and thereby cleaning it from any nasty bacteria, she formed the set of hand seals slower making sure to hit everyone right before applying chakra to the scalpel, watching as she could clearly see that it sterilized the blade. She called in the doctor and with a big smile the man told her to turn to page fifteen, there where no resting in this place. The chuunins smile quickly turned into a frown as she didn't even get time to celibrate her new accomplishment.

*Utensil Sterilization
D-Ranked Ninjutsu
Not unlike the Sterilization Technique, this jutsu focuses on sanitizing key instruments in many operations. However, rather than cleansing the body, it is used to cleanse utensils. After channeling chakra into a utensil in the user's hand, harmful bacteria and other foreign bodies that reside on its surface will be eaten away until it is thoroughly sterile. Depending on the size of the object being sterilized, this will take more or less concentration and time. These objects remain sterile until coming in contact with more bacteria.
The chuunin turned to page fifteen as the doctored ordered, it described how one could create any clothed material into a bandage, with the right hand seals and the right applied chakra to it. But one should be careful since applying a dirty shirt to a fresh would lead to infections as well. The chuunin sighed since she realized that becoming a medic would take a lot of thinking before acting. Something she was used to but not in the "have to be extra careful not to mess up his entire arm" way. This new job had given Amaya a new sense of humor, sarcasm and air quotes. It must have been something she had picked up from the young doctor.
"
Finished reading? Good, now i want you to stitch up your wound then use some bandage to wrap it up. Now if you want to train like a field medic you should use a piece of cloth to get the hang of it since regular bandage is so easy to apply and is mostly bacteria free. I will leave this decision up to you"
The young doctor placed a rolled up bandage and a torn of sleeve next to her, she formed the needed hand seals to stitch up her wound, doing it gently as she didn't want to create more wounds for her to treat and frankly she was still getting used to stitching up skin. Once she completed doing it she read the page once again before starting to perform the needed hand seals. She grabbed the torn sleeve then applied some chakra to it, watching the green chakra eat away the filth that was stuck on the cloth.
"
See, it even works on clothes, well you already knew this but it is fascinating watching it do its magical work and the coolest part is that this is only the low level stuff, you should see what you can do with higher ranked Iijutsu. Stick with me kid and you will become one of the greatest in here, well second greatest because yours truly will probably be the head doctor someday"
He said with a great big smile, he sure was full of himself but he was right about the part where these jutsu where fascinating. To think that these low ranked levels will become a fundamental archive of iijutsu which can save hundreds of lives. She then focused on applying chakra to the cloth, luckily this one didn't need hand seals just high control, she then placed the piece of cloth on her skin and watched it latch on to her skin. She had in essence now cleaned a wound stitched it back up then applied a bandage over it. This was one of the first steps to treating a wound, sure these jutsu would only work on superficial wounds but they could also mix with stronger Iijutsu as well. She smiled once she realized that the makeshift bandage was going to stay up, she then turned to page twenty before the doctor could utter a word. At first he seemed disappointed but then let her have her moment as he stepped out of the office once again.

*Bandage Technique
D-Ranked Ninjutsu
A simple yet vital medical technique, the Bandage Technique provides its users with the ability to create makeshift bandages out of any suitable material they desire. After channeling chakra into an object (such as a leaf, piece of cloth, etc.), the user is able to apply it to the wound of a patient. Once applied, the selected object will adhere to the flesh around the wound, protecting it from bacteria and other harmful foreign bodies. Users of this technique must be wary, as using an object that is dangerous or unsterilized is just as harmful as leaving it uncovered. These bandages will hold on their own for five (5) posts, but the duration can be increased by the user adding more chakra periodically.
Burn Ointment technique, the young chuunin read the title and leaned back. Was she going to burn herself and then treat the wound she thought for herself. How much more damage was she going to do to this perfect body? She had already been cut, stitched and bandaged up and now she was going to get burnt as well. This surely was getting out of hand real fast but that didn't stop the chuunin from finishing up the pages, it described how this low rank jutsu could treat first to second degree burns although anything too large would be ineffective. At least the first and second degree part was good, she flipped the pages and saw that there where a stronger version of this jutsu which was great as well.
"
Isn't that the wrong page, Amaya? I thought you turned to page twenty?"
The chuunin turned around, she had been quiet and had listened to him speak all day and it was finally her turn to speak out.
"
Well, I already read up on first and second degree burns and how to treat them but i was just checking to see if there was any way to treat higher degrees of burnt skin and there was"
She rose from the chair and turned to face him once again, she noticed that he had a patient with him and which shocked her, she wasn't prepared to see the doctor bring in anyone as he had told her that she wasn't ready to treat any patients but it seems as if the young doctor wanted her to treat her.
"
Hmph, okay. Listen this is Hoi, she burnt her hands cooking some food, as you can see she has first to second degree burns all over her hands and since i didn't want to burn you i thought it would be the perfect opportunity for you to try out that skill on someone else and you can train on your people skill"
He said with a big smile and then gently pushed Hoi towards Amaya and before the young chuunin could respond the man walked away leaving them to complete this task all the while the young chuunin crossed her arms thinking that the doctor needed some people skills, crying out loud the man couldn't even make up his mind if she was under qualified or not to treat patients, she sighed and then walked back to the book. Forming the needed hand seals then watched her hands glow green, she slowly placed her hands on Hoi's hand. Applying chakra to the wound and slowly cooling the hot skin, she kept asking Hoi if it hurt or if it got better and to her surprise it did get better. She sighed in relief and then bandaged her hands, giving her an ointment so she could treat the wound at home to further prevent any damage to the hands. Hoi thanked Amaya, smiled and then nodded before left the room.

*Burn Ointment Technique
D-Ranked Ninjutsu
A relatively simple and handy technique to have at hand, Burn Ointment is used to alleviate pain caused by burn wounds. After focusing chakra into his/her hands, the user will hover them above the burn wound. As the chakra is channeled into and around the burn, it cools the area and works to prevent harmful, scar-producing blistering in the affected area. To provide this soothing relief to small areas of first degree burns, it's fairly quick to do. For small areas of second degree burns, it takes one (1) post of concentration to achieve the same effects. This technique is ineffective when applied to larger areas or burns worse than second degree.
The very next day the chuunin proceeded to walk down the hall towards the door where she had spent some time training her Iijutsu, she had been given a white coat to feel more at home, wearing blue gloves and a surgical mask around her neck instead of her hi-ate made her feel more like a doctor than ever before. She smiled on the way to the office but as she leaned to open the door the chuunin could hear someone struggling and a glass bottle hit the ground, the bottle didn't break but it made a distinguishing sound which only glass does when it hits concrete. She burst open the door and rushed in.
Her eyes widened as she could see the young doctor struggling to breathe, he was shaking violently and in front of him was a book which read
Medical Knowledge 102 there was a marker on the book as well, she ignored the book and rushed to the doctor and did her best to help but all he did was push her away and pointed to the book. She complied since this was the first time she had seen him panic and didn't really know what to do, he was the one who usually talked and told her what to do when it came to medical jutsu. Anyway Amaya opened the book and started to speed read the description,
Basic Antidote Technique Her eyes widened even more as she turned around in panic.
"
Basic antidote! Don't tell me that you are poisoned! What the hell doctor!"
The chuunin looked down and picked up the bottle, she read the inscription and then placed it next to the book while the young doctor fell down to the ground. He wasn't out but he would most likely pass out soon. She kept reading trying to focus on completing this jutsu instead of thinking of the doctor, which to be honest was quiet annoying because hearing him struggle and not be there next to him and try to nurture him was hard for her. Amaya picked up the book and then rushed to the doctors side, kneeling next to him. She placed a pillow under his head and then proceeded to open up a medic pack. She pulled out a scalpel but made sure to sterilize it before cutting slicing him on the chest, it wasn't deep but enough to make him bleed. Step one was complete, now all she needed to do was to perform a set of hand seals then place them above the wound and then force the poison out of his blood. The chuunin sighed as she started to perform the needed hand seals, slowly. She focused on controlling the chakra perfectly before trying to channel her chakra into the wound, she closed her eyes and focused on bringing the poison out but she quickly realized that she failed and that didn't mean that the doctor was struggling which made her stress out even more so.
"
Damn it! I can't do this! Hold on let me get help!"
The ninja said but as she tried to leave the doctor grabbed her coat and pulled her back, she sighed loudly and visibly because she knew that he wanted her to complete this jutsu. But truthfully she wasn't sure that she would be able to complete it in time. Nevertheless the chuunin formed the set of hand seals once again, focusing chakra on her hands then rested them over his chest wound. Focusing on removing the poison and this time it seemed to work, the jutsu forced some of the blood to her hand and she reached for a container inside the med pack. Amaya released the blood and the chakra inside the container which would slowly create the antidote while Amaya focused on the doctor. He was starting to sweat and would pass out in any minute now, Amaya grinded her teeth as she waited for the antidote to finish up, the nervously was getting to her.
"
Hang in there doctor, you have to hang in there! Damn it! You shouldn't have done this while i was still in training, i have no clue what the hell i am doing!"
Still panicking the young chuunin grabbed the container then proceeded to open the doctors mouth. He drank the antidote then rested his head back, slowly closing his eyes. Several hours later the doctor woke up, the first thing his eyes gazed upon was a female chuunin sitting in front of him with a book in her hands and multiple containers with his blood inside. It seems as if she tried the jutsu several times but once she heard him caught she turned her attention to him, rushing to his side. The first thing she did was check the response in his eyes.
"
See i knew you would make it, psst im not good enough please don't make me laugh. Also the poison wasn't that bad except for the part where i passed out other then that good job! Hows that for a start?"
The chuunin fell on her bum, she was releaved that her mentor hadn't died and was fully recovered but she was still pissed off.
"
Good now turn to page.."
The chuunin turned the spinning chair to face the book and started reading on page 15 before he could mention it.
"
15 how to create and imperfect cure right"
She said with a monotone voice as if she was mad at him.

*Basic Antidote Technique
C-Ranked Ninjutsu
Prerequisite:User's averaged Wit and Control stats must be 5 or above
A useful, but particularly taxing technique, the Antidote Technique is performed on poisoned patients. After focusing chakra into his/her hands, the user will make a small incision (with a knife, scalpel, etc.) on the patient and then place his/her hands over the new wound. As this chakra is channeled into the body, it extracts the poison out of it and into the user's palm. After one (1) post of the extraction process, the user will remove his/her hand, and place it over a container of some sort (anything that can bear liquid). From here, the liquid poison will be ejected from the hand along with the remaining chakra that was used to extract it. As this chakra interacts with the poison over the course of a second post, its molecules will be rearranged to form the antidote for the poison in question. This works only on C-Rank or lower poisons. The antidote takes a total of three (3) posts to fully rid the body of the poison.
The chuunin kept reading for herself while cursing the doctor under her breath, he had initiated real panic into the young girls heart and it took a little toll on her as she has never let anyone die in front of her. The only ones that did was when she thought of herself as weak and she didn't want to feel that way again. She vowed to herself that she would never let that happen again, she closed her eyes and thought back to the time when she lived a "normal" life or as normal as it could be. The time when it was simpler, when she could have chosen to live a simpler life.
"
I know that you are mad at me for putting you through that but how else are you to prepare for a real live situation where one of your comrades are dying of a foreign poison? If you can't do it here where there are we have all the equipment one needs to save people how will you do it in the battlefield? The level of stress you experienced in here isn't even half of what you will endure out there"
The chuunin sighed as he kept talking, she knew that he was right but he could have done it in a better way. His unorthodox method of teaching is hard to follow, but at the same time the improvisation of his training keeps her on her toes because in life not everything is as easy as up and down.
"
I understand doctor, but next time could you please at least wait until i have entered the building before you try to kill yourself?"
The chuunin said as she began to giggle, she really needed to lighten up. He was alive after all, the doctor began to laugh as well. She proceeded to finish up what she started, closing the book then pushed the chair back so she could stand tall. She walked up to the table next to the doctors bed. Next to him was several containers filled with the antidote. She closed her eyes and started focusing chakra to her hands, placing them over one of the containers. Her gloves where bloody but who wouldn't be after extracting about a pint of blood from a dying man or a pseudo dying man. She focused channeling her chakra to the container, wanting to mix her healing chakra with the antidote to make it more potent and in the end makes his body more resistant to the poison, to the point where it won't be work on him for several minutes. Something that could be really useful in a fight with against a poison user.
"
Good, now don't forget to use the same basic technique that was used to create the antidote since it uses a lot of the same chakra properties"
The chuunin nodded as she continued to poor in more chakra into the container and after a while the chuunin raised her hands to look at it. The doctor did as well but shook his head to show that she had failed to create the imperfect cure. She quickly changed container because she wanted to finish this with the antidote at the same basic levels and not one that had been tried and tested on because in a real life situation she might not have the luxury of changing blood samples. She closed her eyes and focused what was written down on the book.
In order to use this technique, i have to mold my chakra with the older antidote which i created and imbed it with new and fresh chakra to amplify the antidote and in return be able to convert the poison to and antidote and from antidote to a cure. Easy as that, tsck!
She started to apply her chakra into the next container hoping that this would the one, the one which she manages to complete this stupid jutsu so she could hand her idiot doctor the vaccine before he could inject some more poison in his system, the girl chuckled as she thought about it. I mean what kind of idiot would.. before she could finish her thoughts the idiot doctor was shaking violently, it really seems as if he drank the poison once again. Crap, the chuunin thought then forced more chakra into the vaccine before looking at it and determined that it seemed to work, now she had to test it. Since it had both the antidote and the cure it should work as a double combo at least that was what she hoped. She forced the vaccine down the mans throat and then played the waiting game, the man smiled and gave her a thumbs up after waking up again. Rising from the bed and then continued his marry way out of the office as he had things to do, or at least that was what he told her.

*Imperfect Cure
C-Ranked Ninjutsu
Prerequisite: Basic Antidote Technique
Formulated to work in conjunction with the Basic Antidote Technique, Imperfect Cure extends upon the antidote created in the aforementioned technique. Once the antidote has been concocted following the description of the Basic Antidote Technique, the user will begin to channel additional chakra throughout the antidote to make it especially potent. This increased potency not only rids the body of the C-Rank or lower liquid poison that was in the body over the (3) posts it takes to work, but also induces an immunity in the patient which lasts for seven (7) posts.
