Eiro's Medical Training

[silver]

Sansokyoukyuu (Oxygen supply)
Rank D
Type: NinJutsu
Description: An easy justu for the Medical Ninja. A ninja uses chakra upon the chest area focusing it to help the body in some ways. It helps the lungs expand easier making the chest and neck muscles become more efficient which allows the airways to expand and pulmonary blood vessels so then the cells of the body may breathe easier.

On one of his many walks through the more scenic areas, Eiro ran into an old man who seemd to have a problem. Eiro was reading his Medical handbook when he bumped into the man suddenly, almost dropping it. He blinked at the concerned-looking old man and asked what was wrong. The old man stammered and wrung his hands nervously, but Eiro was able to make out that the man's grandson was feeling ill and he didn't know what to do.
Eiro beamed at the man and explained.
"I'm a medical nin in training sir! I can help!"

The man stared in suprise at Eiro's enthusiasm, but his face shined with hope. He grabbed Eiro by his wrist and practically dragged him to his small hut in the plains.
He pointed to his grandson, about Eiro's age, lying on a straw bed and covered in sweat. His chest was rising and falling very quickly, taking short and ragged breaths. The boy's face was tight with the effort. Eiro kneeled next to the boy and put his ear to the boy's chest. After a few seconds he checked his medical handbook and determined the problem.
"Sir, your grandson is having extreme difficulty breathing. Is he perhaps asthmatic? Or maybe he has allergies? Has he eaten anything recently that he normally doesn't?"

The man shifter from side to side, so scared, he couldn't make a sound. Eiro sighed, but didn't get angry. he couldn't blame the man. He flipped through the manual again and found a jutsu that would help the boy breathe, but he had never tried it before. Heglanced back at the old man, his face twisted with a dillema. If he preformed the jutsu incorrectly, the boy could wind up worse than he was already. If he didn't do anything at all, he might even die. Eiro bit his lip and decided it was best to at least try.

Eiro clasped his hands together, closing his eyes. he blocked out his surroundings, focusing on a blank space in his mind to concentrate better. He breathed deeply, in...out...in...out, and channeled his chakra into his hands. He focused on positive thoughts, healing and hapiness, trying to convert his chakra into healing energy. it was difficult, but slowly, he felt the chakra in his hands manifest as a cold but pleasant tingle. He pumped more chakra into his hands, deepening the cold feeling. but still it wasn't unpleasant. it was soothing. Eiro hoped it would feel the same way to the boy, his patient.
Eiro opened his eyes and swallowed loudly. He fought his nervousness and gently placed a hand on either side of the boy's chest. The boy gasped loudly, making Eiro and the old man both jump. Eiro gulped again, and dropped back into focus. The soothing cold feeling was still around his hands. He shut his eyes tightly and cleared his mind again. He brought up an image from his medical handbook: a body completely empty, like a shell of wires. Eiro imagined the boy before him as such, empty, but barely moving. He willed his healing chakra to enter the boy, concentrating. THe chakra flowed forth slowly at first, then faster and faster until it was all within the boy. but it wasn't doing anything.
Eiro then willed the chakra to expand throughout the boy's chest, filling it. He imagined the chest organs, heart, lungs, diaphram, slowly appearing in his mind. Having spent so much time in medical texts, he knew exactly where everything should be. Eiro gently moved the healing chakra into the lungs, pouring it like water into a bowl. THe chakra took the shape of the lungs, then flared, suprising Eiro. The boy's lungs spasmed suddenly, then filled with air. The chakra spread from the lungs through the beginnings of the circulatory system, expanding the airways and bringing air into the lungs instantly.
Eiro opened his eyes cautiously, and sighed with relief as the boy breathed easily and on his own. His face eased into a much more pleasant expression. It was obvious breathing didn't hurt him anymore. Eiro removed his hands and took his headband off to wipe his forehead. It had taken more effort then he thought it would.
The old man laughed with glee and knelt next to Eiro. He thanked him again and again, his speech finally cleared up with relief. the old man begged Eiro to take some Ryo for his services, but Eiro waved the offer away.
"No no sir hehe. If I did this sort of thing just for money, I couldn't live with myself. Just your thanks and his health are all I need. n_n"

The old man stared at Eiro, puzzled. Finally he smiled, laying a hand on Eiro's shoulder. Eiro stood and smiled at the man, bowing as he turned to leave the hut and no doubt head home.
"Thank you so much!" The man yelled. "You're such a nice young lady!"

Eiro almost fell on his face. He hung his head and laughed lightly, embarassed.
"-_-' I'm a boy mister...."

Eiro skipped home quite proud of himself. he diregarded being mistaken for a girl. It didn't matter. he had saved a life and that was enough to make young Eiro beam with glee. He reached his house and told his parents all about it. The glowed with the same pride Eiro felt, maybe even more. But Eiro couldn't help but feel that he hadn't quite mastered the jutsu. He thought it was only out of necessity that he had done it so well the first time.
Eiro's parents glanced at each other and smiled. They had an idea.
"Well you know...your father has been having this awful cough...i think it's probably his asthma acting up again. Maybe you can do something about that, Eiro-kun?"

Eiro nearly jumped at the idea.
"Sure thing mom! I'll have dad fixed up in a jiff."

Eiro's father smiled and listened to Eiro explain how the jutsu would work. Eiro told him to lie down on the couch and relax. He did so, though just a little hesitantly. Eiro clapped his hands and closed his eyes. He concentrated chakra into his hands, feeling that now familiar cooling sensation. He brethed steadilly to help his concentration.
Eiro placed his hands on his father's chest and eased his chakra into him. the chakra spread out across his father's chest and into his lungs at Eiro's mental command. His father closed his eyes and relaxed, breathing slowly. Eiro's healing chakra encircled the man's lungs and cleared them, causing a short involuntary spasm that made Eiro's father gasp loudly. But after the gasp, he found himself breathing as if he had never breathed before.
Eiro made sure that the chakra had completely entered his father's body, then took his hands away and opened his eyes. His father sat up and smiled.
"Wow Eiro-kun, i feel like a brand new man! Thanks!"

He leaded over and hugged his beaming son, ruffling Eiro's hair with his hand. Eiro grinned and waved to his parents. He ran upstairs to his room to study his medical books some more.
