Chapter 257 Happy New Year!
"This ninja world is changing so fast, I feel a little unfamiliar with the village."
After parting with Kabuto and the others, Obito was still a little dazed as he walked on the road. Was it because his energy and attention were too focused on Rin and Kakashi that he neglected a lot of things?
"What do you mean, Obito?" Lin looked at Obito, who was somewhat skeptical of his life, with amusement. "If you have a chance, you can go to the Wind Country to take a look. I heard that the changes there are even greater."
"Hmph, what's so good about a place full of sand!" Obito said stubbornly, but in the blink of an eye he turned his attention to the knife on Kakashi's back.
"You are so cunning, Kakashi! You actually lied to me and said that this sword was left to you by your father! It was obviously made using the technology of the Technology Development Department!" Obito pointed at Kakashi and said angrily.
"This knife is indeed the one my father left me. Haven't you seen it before?"
In response to Obito's routine brain attacks, both Rin and Kakashi remained calm and were not affected by the other's words at all.
"The Technical Development Department simply reforged this sword using it as a carrier. It's fine if you say it's a new sword, but it's also fine if you say it was left to Kakashi by his father." Lin explained patiently to Obito.
"Damn it! Why can Kakashi own such a ninja tool?" Obito was a little envious. As a ninja, who doesn't want to own a special and powerful weapon?
Aren't the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Hidden Mist Village famous for their seven special swords? He didn't think so before, but now that he knows the specialness of Kakashi's sword, Obito's desire to compete with others suddenly arises.
At least, he should have what Kakashi has too!
"In fact, Konoha's hospital already has some healing devices engraved with ninjutsu for testing," Lin paused and spoke softly.
"Can we tell you this?" Obito and Kakashi, one from the Police Department and one from the Anbu, immediately looked at Lin.
"It's okay, it's not a confidential project. They have all been tested and are being deployed in large numbers in hospitals." Lin waved her hand, indicating that it was okay. As the conversation started, and with two close friends around her, Lin's desire to talk and share was unprecedentedly high at this moment.
Seeing that Obito and the others were very interested in these topics and did not seem impatient, Lin continued, “These instruments can lower the threshold for healing the wounded.
Even those who don't know much about medical ninjutsu can provide simple medical treatment to injured patients as long as they can operate the equipment. Although they can't replace medical ninjas, they can free them from some repetitive busyness.
If you get injured next time, Obito, as long as it's not too serious and there are no medical ninjas to treat you at the hospital, you can try those medical devices."
"As I remember, medical ninjutsu has very high requirements. Can instruments really replace it?" Obito felt that what Lin said was in conflict with his understanding.
As we all know, the release of ninjutsu requires hand seals, and medical ninjutsu has extremely high standards for the ninja's chakra attributes and chakra control.
It was hard for Obito to imagine any instrument that could replace a medical ninja.
"It's impossible to replace everything. Some complex surgeries and diseases still require medical ninjas to do it themselves. But if there are enough cases and the solution process is unified, then there will be no problem using those medical instruments for treatment. As long as we continue to add cases and solutions to the instruments in the future and provide good energy, the instruments can free medical ninjas from some repetitive and less demanding diseases.
In the words of Teacher Tsunade, there may be auxiliary instruments for surgery in the future, which may be able to assist medical ninjas in performing medical operations far beyond their capabilities.
Under the right conditions and environment, even an excellent medical ninja might be able to reach the standard of successful surgery that only Tsunade-sensei could perform. ” Lin explained to Obito.
"Is this really okay? For a medical ninja?" Obito was a little confused. He instinctively sensed something that made him uneasy, but he was too clumsy to express it in words.
"Are you worried that the emergence of equipment will eliminate medical ninjas?" Lin quickly guessed what Obito wanted to say and asked as if to confirm.
Obito nodded vigorously upon hearing this. This was exactly what he wanted to express! Kakashi on the side also narrowed his eyes, and seemed to be very interested in Lin's answer.
"Someone has asked Teacher Tsunade the same question!" Lin said with longing: "They said, if these instruments can do everything that medical ninjas can do, then what is the meaning of medical ninjas' existence? Is it to strive to be eliminated by them?
Tsunade's answer at the time was that it would take a long time for the equipment to replace the medical ninjas. The greater possibility was that they would achieve a symbiotic relationship with the medical ninjas.
It liberates medical ninjas from some simple repetitive work, which is equivalent to giving medical ninjas more time to learn and master it, and learn more medical knowledge, covering more medical fields.
It will lower the threshold for medical ninjas to enter, and will also increase the upper limit of medical ninjas. If it can be rolled out, it will be able to change the medical environment in the future and truly popularize medical methods!
The number of medical ninjas is still too small, and it can help medical ninjas save more people in need of healing!
If one day medical ninjas are eliminated by instruments, it must be that all difficult and complicated diseases have been conquered, and the world will no longer need them to exist in front of people.
In that case, as a medical ninja, Tsunade-sensei said she would be very happy. She would have other things to do. "
Kakashi and Obito were shocked by the smile on Lin's face and fell into silence. They even thought that if one day the ninja profession was no longer needed by the world and was eliminated, then where would they go?
"But this situation is unlikely to happen. Because the equipment is still too bulky, it can only perform some basic medical methods. It can solve more problems than the healing talisman, but it is still far from being able to perform well compared to a skilled and excellent medical ninja.
The emergence of diseases is endless. At that time, perhaps the medical ninjas will only need to focus on gathering together to overcome and solve those problems, and then leave the healing to the instruments. That would be good. But thinking about this now is too far-fetched. "
Lin spoke again.
"Yes, it's too far away. These problems are not what we should think about. I just want to know now, can I go to the technical development department to customize a ninja tool engraved with ninjutsu?" Obito nodded repeatedly and looked at Kakashi and Rin with anticipation.
"Speaking of relationships, shouldn't the relationship between Uchiha and the Technology Development Department be closer? I think someone inside Uchiha should have obtained the ninjutsu engraving series of ninja tools?" Lin guessed, tilting her head.
PS: I wish all readers a bulging wallet, full of smiles, and everything they encounter is beautiful and what they get is what they wish for in the new year of 2025! Happy New Year!
