This technique is established as your core skill for healing injuries and lesions on your patients. It allows you to basically do anything you wish with few limitations when it comes to healing. However, such a versatility comes with a price as otherwise we wouldn't need to learn all the other methods if we could do it all with a simple technique without drawbacks.
(Iryō Ninjutsu: Shōsen Jutsu) Medical Technique: Mystic Palm Technique
Type: Supplementary
Rank: S-Rank
Range: Short
Chakra: N/A (2X the amount of damage healed)
Damage: N/A
Description:
This medical ninjutsu allows the user to speed up the body's natural healing process by focusing mainly Yang chakra onto their hands, forming an aura of greenish healing chakra which he then sends into a wound or afflicted body part. This allows the user to heal a patient without the need for medical equipment or surgery, making it very useful on the battlefield. It can be used to treat both external and internal injuries. It is vital to match the amount of chakra used to the severity of the affliction or injury. This requires a great amount of chakra control. Because of this, only a few highly skilled medical-nin are able to use this technique. The limitation of the technique is that it cannot regrow missing body parts or deal with poisons or toxins, though it can heal its damage. Additionally, perhaps its more severe drawback is the chakra cost, which, as the technique stands as a jack of all trades in terms of medical ninjutsu, is much higher than any other medical technique. For each damage point the user of the technique wishes to heal he needs to spend twice as much chakra. Basically, for X amount of damage the user needs to spend 2X amount of chakra to repair/heal. The user can also use this technique on himself and it can be used with one hand or two and even in two targets at a time or while using another technique with the other hand. The speed of the healing is fast but not instant, specially in internal injuries.
Lets start by how it works. This technique basically infuses vitality (or, in other words, Yang Nature chakra) into your patient. This forcefully makes his tissues and body heal up from any lesion. Highly effective against traumatic damage. You can make the cells divide rapidly and fill in missing tissue in small quantities. You can repair bones, minor peripheral nerves, necrosis, etc. Pretty straight forward.
Not all pink and fluffy though. This technique requires a lot of chakra (for example, to heal the equivalent of an A-Rank technique's damage, you'll need 120 chakra points), concentration/focus and time. Yes, time. Its a very slow technique which means that your patient needs to be somewhat stable to last long enough for you to use it for the time it takes to heal him. It also can't cure poisonings nor mental damage. It can cure the damages left behind by poisons and toxins but it won't remove them or leave them inactive. It can heal up your brains tissue but it won't bring back memories or fix mental damage. It can't also grow missing body parts though, if a remnant of an organ still exists, it can make it regrow.
Its important to know though that, lets say you take a Chidori (A-Rank, 60 damage) to your shoulder. While you'll receive that damage initially and you still have tons of health left, the result is not only 60 damage for you to heal. Each turn/20 minutes that passes, your tissues will get further damaged, your blood loss will lead to further tissue damage and, after the equivalent of 3 or 4 turns, the damage will have multiplied by that same amount.
Basically, when it comes to a medical ninja calculating how much he needs to heal and how much real damage a patient has:
Also, yes, Mystic Palm can be used on you but, because its unlikely you'll be able to perform correct primary care on yourself, it will take long and cost a lot of chakra.
As a benchmark in terms of time, getting pierced in the shoulder by a Chidori, leaving a gapping hole but avoid major organs, requires, in battle, 4 turns of none stop healing. You spend the 120 chakra points (assuming you start right after the injury) and need to continue performing the technique through those 4 turns, with focus and concentration. Cuts will be easier to heal than a fractured organ. But the worse are combinations of both external damage (like cuts) and internal damage (like fractured organs), similar to the example of the Chidori wound (which is both internal and external damage).
When its done in a healing thread or, after a battle has ended, before you go into a new battle as your final action, you don't have this time issue but you also don't necessarily have turns. So, how does it work? You'll post a single post with the detailed method through which you heal the patient (or yourself if its applicable) and stating time. In medical terms in our RP, 1 turn equals roughly up to 20 minutes or so of medical treatment.

Basically, when it comes to a medical ninja calculating how much he needs to heal and how much real damage a patient has:
- B-Rank techniques and bellow - damage to be healed is in the same amount that the technique does though 30 damage can be as lethal as 90. For example, if you cut someone carotid artery with a C-Rank wind technique, the damage to repair will be 30 but the wound itself can be fatal.
- A-Rank techniques and above - the technique does an initial damage that, by the end of 2 turns, has multiplied by 2 for practical medical effects. So, for example, an A-Rank damage, at the end of the 2 turns will have transformed into 120 damage due to pain, blood loss, suffering, etc. The damage continues to multiply, doubling every 2 turns until something is done to stop its progression. That why some injuries that aren't immediately lethal can lead to death. Others, despite doing, imagine, 60 damage, might cause immediate death. The health pool of ninjas in our RP serve only to asses how long they can survive after receiving non-immediate lethal damage. Nothing else and only has a value for medical ninjas, being of no use in battle assessments.
