Naruto: You Call This A Medical Ninja?

In the blink of an eye, ten days had passed.

After Reiki completed his treatments, he indulged in a long-overdue rest—eight days of uninterrupted sleep. It had been ages since he felt this refreshed.

However, stepping out of his room, he noticed something odd: the ninja station was significantly less crowded. To make matters stranger, Shisui was the only one left assigning tasks for the special training camp.

"Shisui, what's going on here?" Reiki asked, confused.

"You're finally awake," Shisui muttered, exhaustion evident in his voice. "Here, take over. I'm at my limit. My eyes are on the verge of going blind."

Without waiting for a response, Shisui disappeared in a flash, leaving Reiki standing there, bewildered.

Reiki didn't try to stop him. The dark circles under Shisui's eyes were proof enough that he needed the break. While Reiki could have healed him, he understood the value of natural recovery—it gave the body time to repair itself fully.

As Reiki settled into his role, a ninja from Hidden Sand Village, Shami, approached him.

"Reiki Medical Ninja, are you in charge of today's training?" Shami asked eagerly.

"Yes. What's the current training regimen?" Reiki inquired, curious about what had been happening during his absence.

Shami explained, "The previous instructors rotated in turns. The training was simple—actual combat. Our mission was to defeat the instructors."

"Wait, what?!" Reiki blinked in disbelief. Isn't this the same crude training method I invented in Konoha to gain experience?

He cleared his throat, trying to maintain composure. "Ahem. Alright, let's change things up a bit."

The ninjas gathered around him, intrigued by the new direction.

Reiki announced, "From now on, training will be team-based. Form groups of your choice, and we'll have mixed battles. The last three teams standing will earn rewards.

"Additionally, you can request potions from me for your fights. Medical ninjas, be prepared to assist any team in need, but prioritize your safety. Teams that are aided by medical ninjas will also receive additional rewards."

He sat back with a confident smirk. When you have resources, you can afford to be generous!

The crowd buzzed with excitement. The mention of rewards—and more importantly, potions—ignited a fervor among the trainees. They quickly began forming teams and submitting their potion requests.

As the preparations began, Yuhi Kurenai approached Reiki with a worried expression.

"Reiki, isn't this method a bit... excessive? What if they become too reliant on potions? In real battles, they might not always have you around," she said cautiously.

Shizune joined her, nodding in agreement. "She's right. Over-reliance on these potions could weaken their real-world combat effectiveness."

Reiki chuckled, appreciating their concern. "You both make good points, but think about it—using potions is our strength. Why wouldn't we train to maximize that advantage?

"If they don't learn how to use these resources effectively now, they might fumble even if they're fully stocked in a critical battle. This is just as much about strategy as it is about skill."

The two women exchanged glances, unsure how to counter his logic. As unorthodox as Reiki's reasoning was, it had its merits.

Just then, a confident voice broke the tension.

"Reiki Medical Ninja, here's my team's potion list," the ninja announced. "I'm Mei Terumi, from Kirigakure. Can we be friends?"

Reiki looked up to see a young and strikingly beautiful Terumi Mei.

"Of course," Reiki said, shaking her hand briefly before letting go—his waist was already aching from the intense glares of Kurenai and Shizune.

Taking the list, Reiki retrieved the requested potions from his system space, sealing them into a scroll. "I'm looking forward to your performance. The prizes this time are excellent, so give it your best."

"Thank you," Terumi Mei replied with a warm smile before leaving.

As she walked away, Terumi Mei couldn't help but feel relieved. She had initially thought Reiki would be difficult to approach, but he turned out to be surprisingly easygoing. She even noticed the subtle but playful rivalry between the two women trailing behind him, which made her chuckle quietly.

Back at Reiki's side, Kurenai and Shizune exchanged glances again.

"Reiki, I want…" Kurenai began.

"…me too," Shizune added.

Before Reiki could react, both women pounced on him simultaneously, tackling him with playful determination.

The training session began soon after, with teams battling fiercely and medical ninjas darting around to provide aid. Reiki's system continued to supply him with valuable experience as he distributed potions, mentored participants, and monitored the battles.

For Reiki, this chaotic but rewarding environment was a testament to the power of resourcefulness and strategy—a reminder that even unconventional methods could yield extraordinary results.
