There was one slight ge however in that my sensei now had me w alongside her and Shizune healing minor problems like bruising or scrapes. I have to admit that medical treatment even at this level is a lot harder than I realized. If I didn't trol my chakra precisely I could go from helping tht up destroying the part I was w on. I even turned a few peoples flesh cerous on act when I psed in tration for a split sed. It was fixed by my sensei or Shizu that didn't mean I didn't get in trouble for it.-

  "An Iryonin must remain focused and alert at all times Kenzo and sihat is clearly a oint for you I have devised a trainihod to fix this issue." Tsunade said as she attached metal bands to my hands, feet and my neck.

  Each band in irs with the exception of them being covered in Fuinjutsu seals. she pced a ball of fuinjutsu covered iron in my hands and under my feet.

  "Those bands and balls are ected and the balls demand an ever ging and stant flow of mystic palm chakra. If your tration pses for even a brief moment when the signature of the balls ges you will get a rather unpleasant shock by those bands. I have calibrated the output the st ye chakra reserves for exactly three hours. This training will be over when you go that full length of time without getting shocked." she added and I hinking it straight forward enough, I was wrong.

  What she had failed to tell me was that the training didn't reset when I got shocked but tinued like nothing happened despite me having to deal with that pain because the bands were in highly sensitive locations. This meant the first few times I got shocked were pin dreadful as I stopped using mystic palm on the orbs and the shoever stopped until I resumed and if I took too long the pain got even worse. It retty damned obvious what the hidden lesson here was "A mediinja must even ignore paireating a patient". A likely true enough statement on a battlefield or after a battle when I would be injured yet o heal someone else.-

  Knowing that however didn't make the few weeks any easier on me as for three hours everyday I had to gh this training and then to top it off after that I still o spar or heal some people before I was done for the day. Needless to say I was drained most of this time by the end of the day but by the end of it I overcame my short attention span and got to the roublesome matter, medial co.

  "The fmes are too hot for those pnts!" "The medie calls for finely ground monkshood and this cround stuff!"

  There was a lot of harsh criticisms like that when we finally reached the nd of herbs and my sensei got access to a plentiful and cheap variety of pnts to teach me with. Thanks to her reputation as the best healer in the world known far and wide people flocked to the pces we visited and brought rare and valuable ingredients as payment for treatment. Unfortunately my role as her student had been exposed as well and I had to deal with these asskissers trying to cozy up to me since I was clearly learning medical jutsu from my sensei.-

  Unless I died along the way I was clearly on track to bee a highly skilled Iryonin and that meant everyone wanted me in their pocket. The weird thing though was that some of those who came for treatment beloo other hidden shinobi vilges. My sensei's policy was very simple and kinda troversial as well.

  "I will treat anyone who minds their manners and pay for it." she had said proudly when I asked.

  Hidden cloud, Hidden stone, Hidden mist, rogue shinobi, it made no differe all to my sensei and Shizune as they treated everyohat followed her simple rules. One of the craziest patients we had was one of the seven swordsmen of the mist, Zabuza Momochi. He was a stern man who kept his face ed in bandages and he never got far from the eously rge on he carried. He had a boy with him who was not much older than me and was fairly nice if a bit overly curious. They had e in because Zabuza had apparently gotten inflicted with a poison that was hard to get rid of in a ret fight and needed a skilled healers help.-

  The man was dangerous without a single doubt as even while he was totally calm receiving treatment all my instincts were warnio keep my distance. Once his treatment was over he paid before leaving without so much as a word after expining the situation initially. I was gd to see him go as it took a whole lot of effort to stop myself from sending an attack his way to get rid of him. I had nothing against the guy personally but when I was getting stant danger signals it was hard not to want to make them stop with extreme prejudice.-

  I learned something iing in my free time though, shadow e jutsu was inpatible with sage chakra. I don't mean that the jutsu didn't accept the stuff but rather it didn't do anything if I added it. The resulting es were no different from my normal ones as all that ged was that this time the e didn't o gather natural energy on it's own first before using a sage art. I couldn't figure out why this was at first but after a while I uood.-

  Shadow e jutsu worked by splitting ones chakra amongst the es in order to make the es have their own thoughts and ability to execute jutsu indepely of the inal. The trick was that the es were EXACT replicas of the inal with the exception that taking a hit would cause them to disappear. With me being in sage mode all the time my es naturally were also in sage mode when I created them and as a result got nothing from me addira sage chakra to their creation. It kinda sucked but there was nothing for it given the uniqueness of my situation.

  There was a REALLY close call during one of the treatments on a ninja from the hidden stone who had been hunting a rogue from their vilge. See the damage was so bad that my sensei felt the o summon her tracted animal summon and I had to make myself scarce immediately. The damn slug was a sage and I felt it the moment it showed up which had me stilling all intake of natural energy while getting as far as possible away. The thing didn't seem to notice the tray sage self in the air but focused oient thankfully.
