Hokage: Ryo's Path

Chapter 40: Ryo’s Spring!

The next day, Ryo took the mission given to him last night and went to work in

Konoha’s Hospital.

Over the past two years, there were no major changes to the hospital.

This is year 42, and the relationships between villages were getting more and more

intense. Even Konoha was under strain. So most of the village’s money went to fund

war supplies; with nothing to spare for repairing the hospital.

Ryo entered the oce

of the chief of staff. Although the latter hasn’t seen him in 2

years, he instantly recognized him. The memory of the little genius was still fresh in his

mind.

Ryo was put in the 1 aid department. There was where all the ninja coming back from

the borders were delivered.

st

Every now and then, so injured people were sent to the hospital. Ryo was still on point

with his Medical Ninjutsu.

After he saved Sakumo, the news was circulating around the village, that a 5 year old

had comparable medical skills to those of Tsunade.

If the only criteria were skill with surgery and injury treatment, that statement wouldn’t

be too far from the truth.

After all, Ryo has accumulated 5 years of surgical expertise in his past life, with

extensive medical studies along with his innovative addition of Ice transformation to

the usual Medical Ninjutsu procedures.

But in other respects, Ryo and Tsunade were heaps and bounds away from each other.

The greatest difference maker was her Antidote expertise.

Naruto’s world was different from Ryo’s original world. Here there is the Sand village,

with the Sand ninja being masters of using poison in warfare.

Ryo acceptance of working in here is partially due to his willingness to learn about their

poisons.

During the last world war, Ryo’s mother Chinse was on the frontlines detoxifying injured

Konoha Shinobi. Ryo was planning on learning about detoxication

with his mom after

learning about the poisons in the hospital.

The 3 Ninja world war was about to erupt. Ryo need to master all aspects of his

medical Ninjutsu before it starts. If possible, Ryo wants to learn even more to be fully

prepared to all he might meet.

For the next few days, Ryo didn’t get any ninja coming from the Borders of the Sand.

After asking one of his seniors, he understood that the poison was so terrible; most of

those who do get poisoned never actually make it to the hospital.

On his sixth day in Konoha’s hospital, Ryo nally

saw the 1 ninja to return from the

border of the Sand village.

This one was treated on the spot by accompanying medics, so the toxins didn’t spread

and they managed to save his life.

In his past life, when he was at collage, Ryo knew little about poisons. He only knew

that they were divided into categories. When considering their mode of action, they can

be divided into Neurotoxins and Blood toxins. When dividing them by the obviousness

of symptoms, they can be divided to explicit and hidden poisons. And if you judge them

by the speed of action, they can be divided into acute and chronic toxins.

Most of the poisons used by the puppeteers of the sand were acute explicit ones. If the

poisoning is not treated within a certain period, the one poisoned will end up dying.

Ryo and his superior worked together for hours before nally

saving the wounded

ninja’s life. His blood contained blood toxins, so as blood ew

through his body, toxins

quickly spread to his body.

Later, Ryo leaned from chatting with his seniors that most of the sand poisons had

similar effects. So Ryo determined that they were mainly blood toxins.

When he learned that, Ryo was relieved. After all, freezing the body with his Ice anity

will prevent it from owing

through the body will give him time to remove the toxins.

In the next few days, he learned even more about the [Healing] Jutsu. Actually, it can be

altered to achieve a detoxication

affect.

After being busy for a long period of time, Konoha’s hospital was suddenly idle and the

atmosphere in the village became more and more imposing. Every day, ninja were

rushing in and out of the village.

And Ryo spent half a month practicing medical ninjutsu

Ryo can swear to gods in heaven that he was no Lolicon. But he just happened to like

this Loli.

Ryo’s virgin heart that has been silent for 41 years sprouted. In the 32 years he spent in

his previous life, he never cared about any girl. After spending 9 years here in the

Narutoverse, he still didn’t feel different about the beauties of this world.

That lasted until this day. Ryo’s violent heartbeat told him loud and clear, that he has

fallen in love with this purple haired Loli that he just met today for the 1 time.

“Hey, my wrist sprained while practicing Taijutsu today. Ninja-san, can you help me

treat it?” The little Lolita stretched out her right hand. Her voice was soft, and Ryo felt

like he was listening through it to her heart.

Ryo put on the face of a kind older brother, comforting the little Lolita while softly

whispering and healing her hand.

Under the effects of [Healing], the sprain in her hand was gone.

“Thank you Ninja-san!” The little loli was very courteous and thanked Ryo politely.

“You don’t have to be so formal, what’s your name little sis?”

st

“My name is Yugao Uzuki”

It turned out to be her! Ryo remembered her, and that while her appearance in the

Manga was not frequent, she was lacking on popularity. On one hand, because of her

beauty, being one of the most beautiful Shinobi in the story; and on the other hand,

because of her name.

Her name actually meant: “Moon ower”.

Evening owers

are symbols of eternal love.

Most of the female characters in the Original story had their spouses. Hinata was with

Naruto, Sakura with Sasuke, Ino with Sai, Kurenai with Asuma... Tsunade and Yugao

were exceptions.

Tsunade didn’t have anyone to be with after Jiraya sacriced

himself for Konoha in the

Village Hidden by Rain.

And Yugao’s boyfriend Hayate Gekko died young at the hands of Baki of the Sand.

This is Ryo’s 1 time liking a girl. But he was never a coward, he’d face everything in the

world to get what he wants. Same went far the girl he likes.

“Yugao, that’s a beautiful name! My name is Ryo Yamanaka, so you don’t have to call

me Ninja-San. Just call me Ryo Nii-san.” Ryo decided to build friendship with her as

soon as possible. (Translator note: Brother, and friendship? Really bro?)

st

“Then let me call you Ryo san! My father taught me to be polite and not call strangers

with their names straight.”

It was indeed her 1 time seeing Ryo. So he was a stranger, even though he’s given her

a very good 1 impression.

Ryo chatted with Yugao, learning that she was 4 years old. Today was her 1 day

practicing Taijutsu and she accidentally wounded herself.

Ryo remembered her ne

swordsmanship in the manga and said: “Are you planning on

practicing Kenjutsu later on in the evening?”

“Yes, how did you know?”

“It doesn’t matter. What really matters is that I can nd

someone to teach you.”

“Really? Who is it?”

“Yes really. Tomorrow come the hospital and then you’ll nd

out who he is.” Ryo hid

who he was thinking about as he had someone in mind already.

“Okay Ryo san, I’ll see you tomorrow!
