Training to be a Medical Ninja

As the sun started to rise a small metallic buzz started to reverberate in the dark room, a shaft of sunlight shining between a small gap in the curtains, a shape moved under the blankets. As the form moved the man would toss the blankets sideways off of the bed, with a large yawn Kairashi would turn slightly and turn off the rather annoying alarm clock. Scratching the back of his head he would slowly crawl out of bed grabbing fresh clothes before stumbling off to shower and take care of everything. Stepping out of the small bathroom he would adjust the handkerchief that hung from his left pocket, a symbol of Tengakure emblazoned on the outward facing side with the symbol of Kirigakure in a small corner of the handkerchief, it would serve as a reminder of where he had come from and where he was now. Walking across to his desk the man would scoop up his jacket and fasten it quickly into place, giving it a tug to flatten out any creases in the fabric. Heading for the door the man would grab his top hat from its hook, locking the door behind him before dashing off down to the ground floor, taking the stairs to keep on schedule. Tipping his hat slightly to the person working behind the counter he would flash a smile before firmly placing his hat on his head and walking out into the morning sunlight, the shafts of light reflecting off of the buildings and the excess steam that hung in the air. Making a beeline for the small bakery he had discovered the day before he would remove his hat upon entering selecting a small basket of fresh rolls to take with him to offer to the other people who would be working in the hospital today to learn more about medical jutsu. Replacing his hat Kairashi would make his way back down the street following the instructions he had received the night before from the owner of the hotel. I suppose today I'll be learning all sorts of things about medical services, lets just hope anyone else working today is competent and we can just put in our hours, have a little bit of fun around lunch or at least a decent conversation. Smiling he would walk into the hospital, taking off his hat before entering, the emotion seeming to drain from his face a little but still he would keep the smile on his lips. Addressing the nurse behind the desk he would look around before looking the person in the eyes, "yes hello I'm here today for my appointment for medical training." The woman behind the desk would motion for him to follow along the left hand corridor until he got to Conference Room 2b, he was also informed that he could leave his hat and jacket there and don some fatigues for his day of work. Looking around the room he would give a little shrug before sitting at the far right side of the table, setting the rolls closer to the middle of the table, but taking one to snack on while he waited for it to be time for work.

As the sun arose from the sky and the morning dew shined on the ground and made it glitter like a young girls art project. A cracking noise had been heard early in the morning. Had it of been another wolf roaming in the morning for food. To feed off of its sleeping prey. Surely not it had not been this dark beast but a more harmless in the eyes of other humans. A young boy who's hoodie covered his face as much as his hair did. Making his way through the plains of the skyscraper village. The frown on his face seen from distances away. As the young boy strolled through the plains and listened to the last of the crickets leave the area and rest for their day he saw something strange. A young cat in the distance. "Kitty...." He would utter as he began to run to the animal. Reaching it he saw as it had been torn to pieces by a wild animal, but still had the strength to call for him. Sora took off his hoodie and wrapped the poor thing in it. As he made his way to the village. Giving the kitten words of hope. "It'll be okay. I'll take you to the hospital and they'll fix you right up." He said as he walked through the plains with the bleeding kitty. This only took him about half an hour to get to the doors of the great skyscraper village. Entering it the ninja of the village stared at the new child. As he wore his black head back, with the symbol of the bloody lightning village. Walking up to what had been a lonely civilian he asked. "Excuse me..... C-c-can you p-point me to the h-hospital." He said stutering as the main point down the main road to the large facility with the Red Cross upon it. Bowing to the man he made his way t the hospital.

As he entered it he noticed all of the village workers running around as they showed up and showed out for the call. "Whoa!" He said as he stood in front of the receptionist desk. Unable to be seen because of his height. As the woman yelled out trying to find out who had been there. "Sora, ma'am." He said as he looked up the desk but couldn't see over it. Backing up from it he waved then came closer and sat the cat onto the desk. "Take care of her please. She dying. I-I don't want he to b-be like my m-m-mom." He said to the woman as the breeze came through and he became a bit cold. Holding his arms and rubbing them. The woman sighed and told sora to find a storage room and got him a shirt from it. Sora nodded as he made his way deeper into the hospital. As he got deeper a smell of food hit him as he began to follow it to a room. Entering it he noticed a man sitting with food. Drooling from his mouth the young boy sat in one of the chairs and took four rolls. Eating them within minutes. After two minutes had passed sora began to speak. "H-H-Hi I'm S-Sora Ametsuchi!" He said with a small grin as he took yet another roll and ate it. The boy was young and skinny by the looks of his body. As if he had never eaten a day of his life and his skin pale as if he was a ghost here to haunt. "Why are you I-in here?" He said stuttering a bit. As he looked around for more information on the area. Upon the adults he had just been a frail seven year old who had wandered and made his way to this destination. A small sneeze occurred as he looked down. "Oops" he said as the mess was made on the table. Whipping it off with his hand he just smiled at the man.

[TWC: 666]

The man looked up slowly, watching the boy wolf down the rolls as if he was starving. The boy seemed a bit malnourished, his skin was a rather pale shade almost a sickly see through color, he had obviously not been out in the sun for very long. Smiling politely Kairashi would make a motion as if tipping his hat in greeting, "nice to meet you little Sora my name is Kairashi Zennousha, pleasure to meet you. I'm in here waiting to start a day of training to learn about being a medical shinobi, if you like their should be room for you to stick around and learn a few things yourself. It is important to learn at least basic first aid as a ninja, so tell me Sora where did you come from, what village?" Smiling politely Kairashi would stand, the boy had sneezed causing a slight mess on the table. Stepping over before he could wipe it up with his hand Kairashi would produce another handkerchief from his left sleeve and pass it to the boy, "here use this instead." Turning away for a moment the man would step over and select a small size set of fatigues for the boy to wear over his clothes, "here go ahead and put these on, you'll be recognized as a volunteer and be invited for simple cases and maybe if we are lucky there will be an operation in the operating theater we can watch." Setting the fatigues down he would slide the basket of rolls back towards the boy, "here eat up it'll be a busy day if you decide to stay, and bread makes a wonderful breakfast. If you like after work I'll take you to buy some new clothes, the ones you currently own look a bit worn, and if you do well and behave I'll let you wear my hat around town." He smiled tapping the top of his hat that sat on the table on top of his jacket.

[TWC 872]

Sora looked at the man as he whipped up his snot and saliva. Still waiting for the right time to answer his invading question. Staring at him for minutes to past he had no answer. As he really didn't know where he was from, he only know of where he lived. But his answer had not been a pleasant one for the man. "Fuck off!! You aren't my father and I don't have to tell you anything. I'm not called sora for no reason. I'm the son of the raikage and I don't have to answer a goddamn thing from you. And I can pick my own clothes to wear! Fucking stranger." He said as a reply. Grabbing the clothes handed to him and quickly putting them on his body. He sighed and turned back to the man. As he stuck his hand back in to the basket and grabbed handfuls of rolls to snack on. The boy had nothing more to do but wait for the kitty which he knew would take forever for the thing to actually be healed. The touch of death had long ago touch the thing. Continuing to stare at the man, sora raised an eyebrow. His seemingly closed eyes opened to show his light blue eyes. Looking at the man even more as he analyzed. "You said we were gonna do something and I've been waiting forever! Come on I'm of here for shit." He said as he stood up and walked up to the door. He looked back and then continued on out of the room.

[TWC: 929]

A small smile tugged at the corners of the mans mouth, letting out a small sigh he would wonder who had taught such a young boy to be so aggressive. Shrugging Kairashi turned around slightly to fix the boy in a one eye gaze, "so you are from Kumo, interesting you'll have to tell me about your home someday. For now why don't you turn and look down the hallway the doctor should be on his way here now, the operation should be starting in ten minutes, which means I have to go to the operating theater so I can get a good seat." Walking out the door the man would turn down the hallway and walk further into the hospital, following it down to the operating theater as the doctor who had been sent to retrieve him followed ten steps behind. As he entered the room Kairashi would look over the empty seats and take one of three that seemed to be about half way up the auditorium but still close enough to get a good view of the operation. Looking down at the operating floor a few details would jump out from the bland coloring, a very nervous man stood among a flock of nurses who all seemed to be trying to convince him he had the operation in hand. Smiling he would focus his gaze on the patient, a rather young man to be needing a discetomy, but accidents happen.

The doctor stepped out into the center of the stage next to the table that held the sleeping young man who was suffering from a herniated disc, the young man had been suffering for more then a few months with the symptoms, it was obvious now that surgery was going to be necessary. Taking a deep breath the doctor smiled up at the assembled crowd, "Ladies and gentlemen welcome to the demonstration of the discetomy, you are in for a real treat as this surgery is a rather rare occurrence. See the man is suffering from a herniated disc, which we are now going to remove." Turning back to the table he would select a scalpel and make the first incision going into the area where the herniated disc was located, standing so that the audience would be able to get a good view of his actions. As he cut down it was obvious where the pressure was building up, a small section of the bone was pressing in on the spinal canal, "see here how the bone is pressing into the spinal canal, this is where our problem lies." Selecting a smaller instrument the doctor would start to work on removing the section of the bone that was causing the issues, a daunting and difficult task for even a skilled surgeon such as himself. As he worked the nurses stepped forward, one dabbing at the sweat that continued to build up on his forehead, the sponge was already starting to feel damp, had the surgeon really been this nervous. With a slight sigh of relief the doctor managed to remove the section without any serious problems, holding it up for a second before setting it in a small pan on the tool table next to the operating table. "Now does anyone have any questions?"

Kairashi watched the surgery with great interest, the man was so precise with his tools, it wasn't that big of a surprise to his eyes when the doctor finally managed to pull the bone from the incision, "yes I do have one question, if there had been other complications after this surgery what is the best treatment you would have been able to offer to this young man?"

The doctor looked up as the question rang through the room, "well for this patient the only thing we could do now if the condition doesn't get better or even gets worse would be to do a spinal fusion. Any other questions?"

As the room applauded and thanked the surgeon for his wonderful performance Kairashi would step out of the room, and head back along the hallway towards the conference room to retrieve his jacket and hat. Stepping into the room the man would look around rather unconcerned as he stripped out of the fatigues, the funny cloth still smelling of the mint cologne he wore. Folding the the clothes back up he would set them on the table next to the basket of now cold rolls. Grabbing his hat he would set it down for but a moment as he pulled his jacket on, tugging the material to smooth out any creases that had developed. Heading out of the hospital he would wave to the nurse that sat behind the counter, as he stepped out onto the street the man would place his hat atop his head and look around. Walking off down the street he would head towards the bakery again, it was nearing dinner time and he wanted a nice loaf of bread to go with the pasta he was planning to make tonight on the hotels rather sparse kitchen. The air outside was still warm from all the excess steam that always seemed to hang low in the air. His thoughts drifted back to the surgery he had the pleasure to watch this afternoon, the surgeon had been concentrating so much that Kairashi could see the sweat dripping off of the mans face it was the same sort of concentration he had put into working on puppets. I wonder if I'm ever going to be a good enough surgeon to do surgeries in the operating theater someday. I suppose that means I'll need to practice a bit more. On his way into the building Kairashi would notice a small boy holding his arm and crying, it seemed like a simple fracture but no one had bothered to help him. With a slight sigh the man would approach pulling his large handkerchief from his pocket and slinging the broken appendage in a way that it wouldn't hurt so bad for the boy, he would smile reassuringly, "why don't you get on down to the hospital, tell them to put it on Kairashi's tab he'll settle up for you in the morning."

Stepping into the small hotel he would tip his hat to the owner before removing it from his head, standing on the stairs he would think for a minute before heading up the stairs instead of down to his work space. Walking slowly up the stairs the man would seem a little lost in thought as he walked with one hand tracing a pattern up the wall, his hat balanced on the other rather precariously, he had a long day at the hospital it had given him a lot to think about, the bag with his bread hung from one wrist. Unlocking the door and stepping in he wondered if he would meet the rather aggressive boy again someday or perhaps he'd meet the boys father soon, seeing as the boys father was the Raikage. Shrugging to clear his mind for a moment the man would step into the small kitchen setting up a large pot of water to boil on the stove, Kairashi would wait patiently by thinking back on the surgery again, the doctor had mentioned that if this treatment didn't work the young man would need to have his spine fused. Wondering how that procedure would work he would set about finishing up his dinner for the night, boiling the pasta noodles and straining them before adding a couple of diced tomatoes into the tomato paste, dropping in some browned hamburger and seasoning with garlic and maybe a sprig of rosemary. He made extra to reheat for his lunch tomorrow.

[TWC 2166]

The boy growled at the man as he made the suggestion of a surgery that was going to happen soon. He'd roll his eyes as he waited for his friend to lead the way to the surgery. Of more of his so called friend at this point. He walked behind him as if he was a pet as he became amazed by all the equipment in the hospital he couldn't help but touch it and cause it to beep over and over again. "Whoa this place is amazing I wonder if I could work here one day. It's like gigantic and shit. I wonder if papa has one in his own village too. It's be so awesome to see it too. It's probably better then this one hehe." He said as he continued to follow the man to the surgery room as they got there early enough to pick which ever seat they had wanted to sit in. This made things even better in the eyes of sora as he rain through the place looking for the perfect seat. He had finally picked on that had been the closest to the surgery area as he wanted to notice every detail that he could. As he watched the people get ready and put what they had to together. A boy laying in the middle of the whole place didn't make a move what so ever has he just later there as if he had been dead. Sora stared at the man hard as he looked his body over and analyzed him. Till it hit him. Maybe he had just been sleeping on the cold table in the surgery area.

A young lady came into the room sitting next to sora as she smilies at him and then looked forward. Sora made a face as if he was questioning what was going on. "That man should move. It's too cold to be on that table like that. And he should put a shirt on too." Sora said to the lady as she laughed a little. Sora had obviously became angry at the woman. As he raised his left eyes brown and opened his left eyes looking at here with malice and hate. "Fucker...." He said as he got up and scooted away from the woman as a way to keep his calm. With only minutes to spare for the surgery to start, sora made note of everyone that had been in the area to watch the surgery. A mental note, it had been. The surgery had begun with the opening from what had been a man who seemed to be nervous but had that been seen by everyone else he would have to quit early. He spoke to them talking about shit like any other person. The doctor stepped out into the center of the stage next to the table that held the sleeping young man who was suffering from a herniated disc, the young man had been suffering for more then a few months with the symptoms, it was obvious now that surgery was going to be necessary. Taking a deep breath the doctor smiled up at the assembled crowd, "Ladies and gentlemen welcome to the demonstration of the discetomy, you are in for a real treat as this surgery is a rather rare occurrence. See the man is suffering from a herniated disc, which we are now going to remove." Turning back to the table he would select a scalpel and make the first incision going into the area where the herniated disc was located, standing so that the audience would be able to get a good view of his actions. As he cut down it was obvious where the pressure was building up, a small section of the bone was pressing in on the spinal canal, "see here how the bone is pressing into the spinal canal, this is where our problem lies."

The doctor had finally stopped babbling about the procedure and began to pick up what had been a small piece of medical supplies. He was gonna go into the young man who sora had though was sleeping and take out what needed to be taken out. A section of bone that seemed to be causing some issues in the back of the young man. It had been a strange thing to watch from Dora's point of view as he became very interested in what the man had been doing. "He's inside of him. And I don't mean all nasty like." He said softly to himself as his mouth dropped from the procedures continuation. With a slight sigh of relief the doctor managed to remove the section without any serious problems, holding it up for a second before setting it in a small pan on the tool table next to the operating table. "Now does anyone have any questions?" Sora looked at the doctor talk as he waited for someone to ask him about the whole thing. But it had seemed no one had the straight guts to do it. It had been sad that not anyone was interested in it. Suddenly a man spoke the same man who had notified him of this procedure. "yes I do have one question, if there had been other complications after this surgery what is the best treatment you would have been able to offer to this young man?" The doctor listened and processed the question in his head as he could do nothing but smile at the fact that someone was interested like so. Answering him he said. "well for this patient the only thing we could do now if the condition doesn't get better or even gets worse would be to do a spinal fusion. Any other questions?" With only minutes to spare the surgery was over and the boy wanted to see what he himself could do as he walked toward the outside of the building he found what had been a wounded bird and looked at it closely as he took off the clothing that the man had given him and wrapped the bird in it. He began to tape him and bandage up what he could. "It's okay buddy. It'll be okay." He said as he walked away leaving the bird with the clothing as it rested. Though the truth behind what had happened to the bird was gruesome. As it died the same day. Sora headed home from the long day of learning yet another new skill for his life as he could thing of the many ideas that passed through his brain as to what to do with his new medical specialty as this had been his first one. His main one.
