Chapter 78: Hierarchy of hospital
"Also, they may refuse to teach you if you are untalented in this field," Hiruzen said.
"I don't have any problem with that, Grandpa. If I am untalented in this field, it will be better that I don’t waste my time learning it," Kaida said.
"But remember, I will arrange only one chance for you to learn a specialization. If for any reason you are not given another chance, you will still have to wait for at least two years as a genin. Now, are you fine with selecting medical ninjutsu as your specialization?" Hiruzen asked, checking if Kaida was serious about this.
After two minutes, Kaida said, "No problem, Grandpa. I am serious about learning this, and even if I am rejected, I can focus on other things for two years, so I don’t think it will be a bad deal to choose this specialization."
"Hah! Well, if you are this confident in your decision, then go to the hospital after four days. I will make sure they at least give you a chance," Hiruzen said, and then dismissed all three of them.
After the three of them left, Yukihiro looked toward Hiruzen and said, "Lord Third, are you thinking about asking the senior doctors to take Kaida as their apprentice?"
"Yes. You may not understand, but normally all Uchiha focus on Sharingan, ninjutsu, and genjutsu. No one understands how much a Sharingan can help a medical ninja. It can allow them to see things more clearly and follow small movements with the help of the Sharingan.
Also, the Sharingan will help in increasing his chakra control, which will also assist in medical ninjutsu. With his already monstrous talent and Sharingan, he could become a great medical ninja—maybe even comparable to Tsunade. But I don’t want to set my expectations too high, so I will be happy if he can become a specialist within two years."
"Aren’t you expecting him to become a specialist medical ninja in just two years a bit much, considering he doesn’t even have basic knowledge in this field?" Yukihiro said with an awkward smile.
"Well, when you suggest that someone could be a jonin-level ninja before they reach nine years old, people will call you mad, right?" Hiruzen said with a knowing smile.
"Hah, if you put it like that, then I don’t have anything to say. Now, since you’ve taken all my students under your care, what should I do? Do I have to go back to doing solo missions?" Yukihiro asked, thinking about his daughter.
"No need. Since you were able to bring them to such a level this early, you can take a break for two months. But after that, you’ll need to continue going on missions. You know we still have a shortage of ninjas, so I can’t give you a break longer than that," Hiruzen said.
"Thank you, Lord Third," Yukihiro said with a cheerful smile on his face. He was very happy to have some time with his daughter, and he also knew the condition of Konoha. Even though it was stable right now, it was nowhere near its former glory, so Yukihiro was very happy to spend some time with his family.
After that, Yukihiro also left the office and went toward his home.

Kaida decided to research the ranks in Konoha Hospital so he wouldn’t be completely clueless when he got there, so he sent one shadow clone with 30% of his chakra to the Konoha library to look into it.
Normally, the books available to the general public don’t have much detail, but in the section for ninjas, they do have information about the basic hierarchy of the Konoha Village Hospital.
After reading for quite some time, his clone was able to get a basic understanding of the hierarchy, which was:
**Hospital Director:** Tsunade
-> Responsible for the overall management and administration of the hospital.
-> Oversees all medical and ninja personnel.
-> Reports directly to the village's leader or council.
**Chief Medical Ninjas:**
-> Head of the medical ninja staff.
-> Leads medical research, development, and training programs.
-> Coordinates with the Hospital Director on operational matters.
-> Expert in advanced medical ninjutsu and surgery.
**Medical Ninjas:**
**Specialists:**
-> Surgeons: Perform complex surgeries using medical ninjutsu.
-> Trauma Specialists: Handle emergency cases and critical injuries.
-> Diagnostic Specialists: Conduct in-depth medical examinations and diagnostics.
-> Genjutsu Specialists: Treat patients affected by genjutsu-induced illnesses.
**General Practitioners:**
-> Provide primary medical care to patients.
-> Treat common ailments, injuries, and illnesses.
-> Administer basic medical ninjutsu and herbal remedies.
**Nursing Ninjas:**
-> Assist medical ninjas during surgeries and treatments.
-> Monitor patients' conditions and administer medication.
-> Provide emotional support to patients and their families.
**Rehabilitation Ninjas:**
-> Design and implement rehabilitation programs for injured ninjas.
-> Utilize physical therapy and specialized ninjutsu to aid in recovery.
-> Help patients regain strength, mobility, and combat readiness.
There were also additional staff present in the hospital, such as:
**Support Staff:**
**Administrative Personnel:**
-> Manage appointments, medical records, and billing.
-> Coordinate hospital logistics and resources.
**Maintenance Ninjas:**
-> Maintain hospital facilities and equipment.
-> Ensure a clean and safe environment for patients and staff.
**Security Ninjas:**
-> Protect the hospital from external threats and intruders.
-> Maintain order and safety within the hospital premises.
For those who don’t have sufficient skills to perform medical techniques on actual ninjas, they are placed in the division:
**Medical Research Division:**
-> Research new medical techniques, treatments, and medicines.
-> Collaborate with other medical institutions and ninja villages.
-> Develop strategies to combat new illnesses, poisons, and injuries.
Lastly, there’s a division that specializes in medical ninjutsu and participates in everyday operations but is trained to handle emergency situations, such as unexpected attacks or wars. They are also trained in combat and can be mobilized to the battlefield.
**Emergency Response Team:**
-> Specialized unit trained to handle medical emergencies and disasters.
-> Mobilizes quickly to provide aid during natural disasters, ninja conflicts, or large-scale emergencies.
-> Equipped with advanced medical ninjutsu and emergency supplies for rapid deployment.
After gathering all the details, the clone left the library and went toward the training area. The reason it didn’t simply disperse was because it was carrying Kaida’s identification card, which he needed to enter the library.
After reaching the training ground, the clone handed Kaida his identification card and then dispersed.
‘So I will most likely be trained as a General Practitioner or Nursing Ninja at the start, and I will have to gradually rise in rank from Specialist to Chief Medical Ninja.’
‘Well, training is sure going to be fun,’ Kaida thought with a smile on his face.
After that, he went back to training his Body Flicker Jutsu.
After two days of training, they made some improvements, but nothing too massive—just reducing the time it took to use the jutsu, and they gained better control over where they would appear after using it.
Kaida was now able to appear on top of tree branches and uneven rocks easily, thanks to his Sharingan. Yomi and Ryota were still unable to do that, but on the ground, they were able to choose their exact landing spot with ease.
But Kaida was facing a problem...
