Naruto: You Call This A Medical Ninja?

Chapter 526: Chapter 526: Setting Up a Stall Openly



After Kaguya Otsutsuki left, Reiki tidied himself up and exited the hotel.

Once he reached the bustling streets, he retrieved a familiar sign he had used many times before:

[100 yen: Treat any injury, disease, or hidden illness]

[Konoha Medical Ninja: Curing ailments at your fingertips]

The bold, eye-catching text conveyed his purpose directly.

That's right—Reiki intended to gain experience while conducting some low-key investigations. He was also on the lookout for talent and potential leads on the Evil God Cult.

The Land of Hot Springs was a major tourist destination, filled not just with commoners but also with many ninjas.

As he set up his stall, a man who appeared to be a wealthy merchant approached.

"Konoha's medical ninja?" the man asked skeptically. "I've been feeling a little off lately. My waist isn't as strong as it used to be. Can you fix that?"

"Of course. Consultation fee: 100 yen," Reiki replied.

The man handed over 100 yen and sat in front of him.

Reiki grasped the man's hand and immediately began his diagnosis.

It was clear this man's body had been subjected to severe wear and tear. His kidneys were overworked, his spleen and stomach were weak, and his excessive drinking and indulgent lifestyle had left him in poor condition.

If this continued, the man likely wouldn't live much longer. Reiki quickly performed the necessary treatment and handed over a bottle of restorative medicine.

"The internal issues are resolved. These medicines will nourish your body. Take half a bottle at a time and avoid alcohol for a month. This will help restore your strength," Reiki explained.

"Abstain from wine and other pleasures?" the man scoffed. "Hah! In the Land of Hot Springs, any doctor who makes such a demand isn't worth his salt. Forget it. It's only 100 yen—I'll consider it a donation."

The man turned to leave without taking the potion.

"Oh?" Reiki smirked. "In that case, let's try another method."

He grabbed the man's arm.

"What… What are you doing?"

"Treating you properly," Reiki said matter-of-factly.

"No! Let go! I don't want more treatment—"

The man's protests were cut short by a loud scream.

Passersby barely paid any attention to the commotion. In the Land of Hot Springs, people tended to mind their own business.

However, as the man's screams grew louder, a crowd began to form.

The onlookers were intrigued, especially since this man was a wealthy hot spring hotel owner known for his arrogance and domineering behavior. Seeing him brought low was a rare spectacle.

After a few moments, Reiki released the man.

"There you go. Now your body is fully restored and can endure your usual habits for another three years," Reiki said with a smile.

"Three years?!" The man looked startled. As he moved, he realized his body felt noticeably better.

Reiki reiterated, "What I said earlier still stands. These medicines are the best way to sustain your health. But if abstinence is too difficult for you, these potions can be purchased at the Sanada Chamber of Commerce. They come with clear instructions."

With that, Reiki gestured for the man to leave.

The wealthy man, realizing his earlier mistake, pulled out a wad of cash. "I was blind before. Here, take this as a token of my gratitude."

"No need. My stall today only charges 100 yen per person," Reiki replied, declining the money.

Impressed by Reiki's integrity, the man cupped his hands in respect and left.

An hour later, the same man returned—this time accompanied by friends, women, bodyguards, and hired ninjas. He had brought a crowd to see Reiki, effectively drumming up business.

As word spread about the talented medical ninja from Konoha, more people joined the growing line.

Reiki welcomed everyone, using this opportunity to gain experience and further his investigation.

Meanwhile, in a courtyard far from the bustling street, a man sat listening to a report from a kneeling ninja.

"A medical ninja from Konoha?" the man said, his expression darkening.

"Yes," the ninja confirmed. "He has set up a stall, and people are saying he's highly skilled. It could be him."

"Him?" The man's face grew more serious. "This appearance is untimely. The Five Great Nations are preoccupied with their special training camps, which has allowed our plans to progress smoothly. We cannot afford to attract their attention now."

"What should we do?" the ninja asked.

"Test him, but keep your distance. Do not engage directly, and do not reveal anything about us. The Five Great Nations cannot know of our operations yet," the man instructed before retreating into the house.

Back at the stall, Reiki continued treating patients, unaware that he had already drawn the attention of dangerous individuals.

For Reiki, this day was simply a productive start to his journey—gaining experience, helping people, and keeping an eye out for clues about the Evil God Cult.

For others, however, his presence was a potential threat, and the clock was ticking.
