Chapter 55 - 55 (2/2)

The old monk ignored him and did not say anything else. He closed his eyes like he fell asleep.

After listening to Bunpuku, Rasa became pretty much sure that the technique Jiraya has used was Sage mode. Its effects on Jiraya's performance went hand in hand with what how Bunpuku described Sage mode.

On the other side, Ryo and Jiraya were discussing the power that the Sand Ninja have shown. Konoha now has a good understanding of Rasa's ability.

Of course, Ryo was had some credit. In the Manga, Rasa didn't show much of his power, but now that he saw him in battle, Ryo was really impressed, his power was scary.

In his past life, when he saw the Gold Release used in the anime, Ryo thought that only a Mad Tyrant would want gold as a weapon. He also thought that a user of such skill would never be short on money!

Ryo explained Rasa's ability in the meeting. His explanation reminded Jiraya of Fukasaku's words on Rasa's attack.

But even after determining what kind of special gold Rasa was using, Konoha's camp was still in a pinch. Even when knowing that it was Gold Dust, they still can't find a way to counter his ability as long as he's fighting in the yellow sand desert.

After the discussion, Ryo returned to his team. The medical team had a great role in this battle. If it weren't for them, no one would know how many of Konoha's Ninjas would have been lost to the Sand's poison.

Over the course of the following few days, both camps stayed on the safe side. The Sand Ninjas were afraid of Jiraya's Sage Mode, and Konoha's Ninjas couldn't find a way to counter Rasa's Gold Dust. Both sides were cautious and did not want to act rashly.

During those days of rest, Ryo was thinking about both Medical Ninjutsu and modern medicine from his world. One of the things that he's always wanted to do was to improve the Narutoverse Medical Ninjutsu system.

Here, medical Ninjutsu relies mainly on Chakra. Once a medic is out of Chakra, medical Ninjutsu is no longer usable. Should a ninja in that case just watch as his companion bleeds to death?

Ryo wanted to pass on the modern medicine knowledge he had learned in his previous life to the medics of Konoha's hospital so they could save people regardless of their Chakra levels.

However, because of his inability to explain the origin of such knowledge, Ryo gave up on that idea. But now that he's on the battlefield, and there's this severe need for more medical knowledge, Ryo decided to pass on some basics to his team.

In the area where Konoha's Medical Squad was located, Ryo established a teaching area. In the beginning, the medical ninjas did not have much interest in Ryo's modern medical knowledge.

In their view, if this knowledge doesn't allow them to quickly heal an injured ninja and restore his ability to move, then it's of no use.

But as Ryo went deeper into the topics he was teaching them, they started realizing that what he was talking about was not so simple.

As days passed, the Sand couldn't just keep watching and they started to harass Konoha's once again.

Sakumo took countermeasures against the Sand's little tricks. There shouldn't be much risk in doing that, as any poisoned Ninja will now have a medical team to save him.

”Sakumo San! Jiraya San has made an ambush and just caught a Sand Ninja.”

The sand Ninjas were harassing the camp for many days, and this is the 1st time one of them is caught. Sakumo quickly informed Ryo.

For a Yamanaka like him, the enemy's brain can give so much information!
