Naruto: I'm Not a Pokémon

Chapter 15 Hoshigaki Kisame

My name is Hoshigaki Kisame, I'm 12 years old, and I'm a new Chūnin of the Kirigakure Village.

A few days ago, I was on a mission with my Jōnin sensei and two teammates to escort merchants from the Land of Fire back to their country.

Unexpectedly, this businessman actually concealed the fact that he was competing with his own brother for the position of head of the family.

Not long after we set foot in the Land of Fire, we encountered the ninjas that the merchant's brother hired to kill him.

I just don't know what kind of promise his younger brother made, and the person he invited was Pakura, the "Scorch Style" of Sunagakure Village.

Obviously, there is a huge gap in strength between the sensei, who is also a Jōnin, and Pakura, who has already made a name for herself.

The Land of Fire merchant died on the spot because of his stinginess.

And Pakura, who was using 'Scorch Style', seemed to have other tasks and did not want to reveal her whereabouts.

After killing the target of the mission, she also wanted to silence our team.

Without much words, endless orange fireballs came one after another, and my Sensei's water-style ninjutsu could hardly do anything to effectively block them.

Fortunately, Pakura's perception ability seems to be relatively poor, and her main focus was the sensei who is a senior ninja.

Even so, I was finally hit by a fireball and I managed to escape with the help of the Hidden Mist Jutsu.

In the end, with the help of the Hoshigaki clan's talent, I replenished a large amount of water and was able to escape back to the village alone with my seriously injured body.

After reporting the information about Pakura's "Scorch Style", I was immediately sent to the Kirigakure Hospital for treatment.

But, who can tell me?

Why is my primary doctor a 9 year old kid???

Five minutes ago.

Mirukawa Kaito is observing and learning in operating room No. 3.

A fruit stall owner was resting in his shop when he was hit on the head by a tile accidentally kicked off by a ninja running across his roof. He is currently undergoing surgery to stitch his wound.

Kaito, who has been interning at the Kirigakure Hospital recently, has already mastered several medical ninjutsu and has a solid foundation in basic medical knowledge.

In addition, although he is a ninja, he is not arrogant and is kind to others, so he is very popular in the hospital.

There are often some ordinary doctors who do not have chakra mastery, and they ask him to come as an assistant when they are performing surgery to treat the wounded, and use medical ninjutsu to solve some more troublesome problems.

Kaito can also use this opportunity to accumulate medical experience, which is a win-win situation.

Just when Kaito was still marveling at this unlucky boss, a nurse rushed in, saw Kaito just watching from the side, and immediately spoke.

"Doctor Mirukawa, A ninja has been sent to the hospital with severe burns and dehydration. The director is in another operation. I want you to go and stabilize the patient first."

Upon hearing this, Kaito stood up immediately. He thought that Aunt Keiko must have believed that the Water Style: Aqua Ring Jutsu had a strong therapeutic effect on external injuries and burns, but there were too few people in the hospital who were proficient in this Ninjutsu, so she let him go first when she was busy.

Just like that, Kaito, wearing a custom-made mini white coat, hurried into the ward and was seen by Kisame, who just learned that his attending physician would be here soon.

Kaito naturally had no idea about Kisame's complicated psychological activities at this time, and even if he knew, he would not care.

In the past, some patients would even directly question his identity, but most civilians would immediately shut up after knowing that he was a ninja.

After entering the ward, Kaito was slightly surprised after taking the form recording the patient's condition.

"Kisame Hoshigaki was injured by Pakura's Scorch Style. Wow, they are all celebrities!"

Although the Hoshigaki clan is a small ninja clan with very few members, their physique is special and their body structure is slightly different from that of ordinary people.

Moreover, Pakura's scorch attack method and the damage caused are very special, so this information will be recorded in advance to facilitate doctors to understand the condition of the injured.

Kaito didn't waste any time. After briefly checking Hoshigaki Kisame's injuries, he asked the nurse to bring a bucket of water and began to form seals with his hands to perform ninjutsu.

"Water Style: Aqua Ring"

Two streams of water flew out of the bucket in an instant, floating on Kaito's left and right palms to form Aqua Rings.

In fact, Pakura's Scorch Style mainly causes burns on the outside of the body, dehydration, and respiratory system damage is due to the inhalation of high-temperature air.

However, since Kisame did not die on the spot and has survived until now, it should not be too difficult to treat him.

However, lung treatment requires more precise and detailed chakra control.

Kaito placed his left hand just above Kisame's body to treat the external burns.

His right hand was placed above Kisame's mouth and nose, ready to guide the water into his body.

"Don't worry, this is a healing jutsu. Open your mouth."

Kisame was lying on the bed at this moment and was staring at Kaito with his little eyes.

Although this doctor looks young, he performs ninjutsu very skillfully.

And for some reason, when Kisame saw him forming hand seals and performing Water Style, he felt inexplicably familiar with him.

So he opened his mouth obediently.

However, when he saw Kisame open his mouth, Kaito was a little hesitant.

After thinking about it carefully, he divided the water in his hand into several more streams, which flowed to the gills on both sides of Kisame's cheeks and left and right shoulders.

"Treatment of respiratory burns. Fish gills are also considered respiratory tract, right?"

Kaito was distracted while treating the patient and almost choked Kisame, the shark-man who could breathe underwater. He quickly focused his attention on the treatment.

Kisame immediately felt a hint of coolness from the water and the unique warm healing power of the yang-attribute chakra flowing through his burns at the same time, quickly relieving the pain caused by the Scorch Style.

During this period, when Nakamura Keiko arrived, she found that Kaito had already started the treatment, so she did not interrupt him.

She just pointed out some precautions with some relief, then asked the nurse to get some targeted burn medicines, and instructed her to help Kisame apply medicine and bandage after Kaito's treatment was completed, and then left the ward directly.

Half an hour later.

"Okay, after the initial treatment, the injury has stabilized. All that remains is to change the bandage on time and observe in the hospital."

Kaito wiped the sweat from his head and said to Kisame.

This is how healing ninjutsu works. Although it consumes a lot of physical strength and chakra, it consumes more mental energy because of the need for meticulous control.

Kaito looked at the external ointment prescribed by Nakamura Keiko, wrote down his own medical instructions, and prepared to leave.

"Doctor, what is your name?"

Kisame forced a smile and asked, but his sharp teeth were exposed when he opened his mouth, which scared the nurse who was preparing to apply medicine next to him so much that she took a step back.

However, Kaito knew the true character of Hoshigaki Kisame.

Moreover, in the original work, Kisame is an honest character that he likes, so he can ignore his hideous appearance.

"My name is Mirukawa Kaito, and I'm a medical ninja."

Kaito gave Kisame a thumbs up and gave him a faint smile.

In the next few days, Kaito often came to Hoshigaki Kisame's ward when he was in the hospital to inquire about his recovery.

After all, he is Kisame's actual attending physician.

Later, Kisame learned that the Aqua Ring was actually a ninjutsu created by Mirukawa Kaito.

During the period of recuperation, Kisame, who had nothing to do, began to frequently discuss some water-style ninjutsu and hand seal techniques with Kaito.

Kaito also gained a lot in this regard.

After a while, the two of them became friends who could talk to each other.

In this way, Kaito practiced in the hospital and exchanged ninjutsu with Kisame during the day, and practiced with Terumī Mei in the training ground at night. His level in all aspects was improving rapidly.
