Now back to some less practical things, but maybe something you'd like to know in terms of knowledge? I don't think I've ever referenced something from this particular class but... then again, this wasn't the style of med-school I had to grind through xD

Kin'yō Shippai Soshite Chiryō (Vital Faillure and Treatment)​

This would be the equivalent of a Trauma class in a real medical or nursing school. You'd learn all about trauma, injuries, etc and how to deal with patients in those situations. However, this is narutobase RPG and, unlike myself, you don't have medical training. As such, it would be highly confusing, lengthy and overly complex to explain all of this. Instead, we opted for a simplified approach by giving you the knowledge of basic things and how they make the bridge between reality and the RPG.

There are vital functions our bodies need to ensure in order for us to function normally and, well, live. Someone is sick when, due to a plethora of reasons, these functions aren't working as intended. Your job, as a medical ninja, is to assess which ones and fix them. To do so you need at least rudimentary knowledge about the most common vital functions and the most common issues associated with them.

Vital Signs:

These are various parameters that are measured in oder to evaluate how your body is functioning. They are 6

• Heart Rate/Pulse - Measured by putting your finger in either the radial artery or the carotid artery and counting how many "pulses" are felt in a minute OR by evaluating the electrical current in the heart. Since the heart beats based on electrical impulses that trigger the muscle reaction to contract the heart, each impulse is equivalent to a heart beat. With diagnosis it can be measured by detecting both the electrical impulses but also the pulses in the arteries. Measured in beats per minute.
  
  
  Bradicardia = low heart rate. Normally, anything beneath 40 to 30 bpms is bad. The normal is around 60 to 70.
  Taquicardia = high heart rate. Normally anything above 150 while not doing exercise is bad.
  Arrhythmia = abnormal/irregular heart rate. In a minute, the heart can beat sometimes fast, sometimes slow.
  Assytole = no electrical current in the heart muscle.
  Fibrillation = short circuit in the heart. Normally, what happens is that theres a lot of electrical activity in the heart but its not producing heart beats. The impulses happen and travel into the muscle but don't trigger a muscle response. There is no pulse but you can feel the electrical currents in the heart.
  ​
• Blood Pressure - Measured by diagnosis. Its the pressure the blood exerts on the blood vessels. It has 2 values: Systolic (max value, when the heart contracts and sends blood flowing) Diastolic (when the heart is released and not exerting pressure). Measured in mmHG. Its influenced by blood volume, diameter of the blood vessels and osmosis balance.
  
  
  High blood pressure or hypertension = blood pressure is high and can make weak vessels (like in the brain or eyes) rupture, leading to hemorrhagic strokes. Highly associated with stress, anxiety and nervousness. Pain and general distress might have that effect.
  Low blood pressure or hypotension = blood pressure is low and can make it so that blood doesn't heave enough strength to reach all the minor vessels further from the heart. Blood loss leads to hypotension. If the tension is too low, the person will lose conscious.
  ​
• Temperature - We already talked about this. Measured by a thermometer or diagnosis. Values are either degrees ºC or ºF.
• Breathing Frequency - How many ventilations are done in a minute and its characteristics. Breathing can be normal (around 20 to 30 cycles per minute), rapid, slow, superficial (when there is barely movement of the lungs and the ventilation as a result becomes shallow) or difficult (when the lungs have trouble ventilating). You can also have other charateristics like coff (normal sympton of irritation of the lungs/throat), secretions (normal sympton of infection in the lungs), etc.
• Pain - Pain is a vital sign, one that can be measured by diagnosis but is generally measured by the patient himself in a scale from 1 to 10, with 10 being the worse pain. If pain is high enough, it can make the person shut down and faint. Different people have different tolerance to pain.
• Suffering - A vital sign associated with the emotional distress brought upon the body. Its linked mainly to terminal patients and extreme physical pain.

Other aspects to consider as vital are:

• Consciousness - If the person is conscious or not. If he isn't, he might be easily awoken or not. If he isn't, even with painfully stimuli, you call it a coma.
• Orientation - if the person, while conscious, has normal grasp of time and space (if he or she knows where and when he or she is). If they don't, its normally considered that the person is confused.
• Body Integrity - basic aspect to look at when you asses a patient and a vital portion of a patients health. It basically means to check if the patients body is complete and without external visible injuries or changes. Wounds, abnormal angulation of bones and limbs, growths or edema (swelling), skin color, having all body parts one had, etc etc.
• Elimination - this basic means both feces and urine excretion. These need to happen normally in a frequent basis.

These are the main aspects you'll look for in a patient to assess if something is wrong with him in narutobase RPG. This is very very very basic and somewhat dumbdown so you can look up some aspect in the web to use in battles or for creating customs.

Main Problems, Conditions and Diseases in Narutobase RPG:

• Skin and Soft Tissue Trauma - simple to understand. It pertains to bruises, hematomas, cuts, stabs, etc. Basically, any wound on the body, both internal and external. You need to heal the wounds and treat their consequences (blood loss, pain, infection).
• Blood Loss - Loss of blood and all that comes with it. You'll need to help the body restore the blood, prevent more from escaping or replenish the blood.
• Infections - bacterial and viral infections, normally after your wounds getting infected. You need to fix the cause and treat the bacteria/virus. Don't forget the fever.
• Bone Fractures - heal the surrounding tissue and whatever lead to the fracture, treat the pain, set the bone and heal the bone. Normally, it goes toe and toe with wounds and other injuries, internal or external.
• Poisonings - stabilize the patient, remove the poison, identify it, produce the antidote, administer it.
• Chakra Flow Disturbances - detect the origin, negate it and restore normal chakra flow.
• Mental Trauma - if trauma isfrom a technique, release it or end it and if not, just move on to the next step which is to administer medicine to calm the patients mind and keep him sedated until the mind heals itself with time.
• Severed Limbs & Body Parts - same principle as with normal wounds but with more focus on containing blood loss before attempting to re-attach or heal the injuries.
• Heart & Breathing Faillure - detect the issue, keep blood flowing with CPR, fix the issue, keep blood flowing with CPR, use Thunder Hands to restart heart.
• Allergic Reactions - detect the cause, remove it, administer adrenaline, monitor reaction and vital signs.
• Extreme Fatigue - administer medicine in order to more rapidly restore the patient to normalcy levels of stamina.

 

[ZK]

I mean... damn, this is a lot of detail, all things considered. I've never even seen most of things mentioned, much less used in an actual RP context. It's not that I don't appreciate the general knowledge here, but I think there's a fine line between due diligence and... this.

 

[Shinta]

There is indeed a line between due diligence and this, however the line is rather broad O__O'

To summarise, everything you need to know to diagnose a patient/yourself, you can deduce from the jutsu/poison's effects or via general knowledge.

Karada Tensū Jōran (Important Body Points Disturbance) & Chakra Jōran (Chakra Disturbance)​

Any medical ninja knows that one of the key aspects of healing a patient is to ensure his body is in balance. Though, in narutoverse, this goes into close proximity with ones chakra. As such, any disturbance to one, disturbs the other.

Our body has important key points to ensure this balance. These points are associated with important nerves in our body which are, by extension, closely associated with our chakra system. By disrupting nerves you can achieve a multitude of effects, from the practical "numbness" and "paralization" of a given area to loss of conscience to disturbances to your heart rate to loss of conscience.

Only Medical Ninjas receive training in this area in hand to hand combat. Knowing the weak spots in the body as well as what happens when you attack them is essential in both treating ninjas and defending yourself. There are various weak points and we won't list them as most of them are common knowledge (eyes, groin, heart, throat, etc etc) but some, specially those that require anatomical knowledge and pressure point knowledge as well as the effects that trigger from them are your upper hand in a fight. Some are in that image, others, like the occipital ridge or the vagus nerve will require you to do some homework.

There is currently only a few techniques that take use of this knowledge:

The Ranshinsho is a ninjutsu technique where the ninja turns their chakra into an electrical pulse which is transmitted into an enemy's body by striking the base of their neck. The electrical impulse travels up their brain stem and disrupts the flow of electricity in the nervous system. The brain cannot work like this, thus all communication between the brain and body are confused, causing a person to move their arm when they should be moving their leg, and generally debilitating them. Only an unusually skilled ninja would be able to overcome such a handicap.

Finally a combat jutsu, eh? lol. It's important to point out that this isn't Juuken in any aspect. Juuken uses chakra to disrupt chakra lines, Ranshihsho is a lightning based jutsu which makes the nerves go wild; and it can only be used in the way that is described above, variations aren't possible.

(Iryo Ninjutsu: Ranshinshou) Medical Technique: Chaotic Mental Collision
Type:Supplementary
Rank:A-Rank
Range:Short
Chakra Cost:30
Damage Points: N/A
Description:
Manipulating the chakra in their hand, the user can create an electric field to disrupt the target's nervous system. Because the brain and body communicate using electrical impulses, the user can use the field to disrupt the target's ability to move. The result is the commands to move one body part being relayed to another, making it near impossible for the opponent to move unless they have high skill and understanding of the body or with time. This effect can be achieved by making contact with the enemy, preferably near or directly on his spine (neck, lower back, etc). Contact with a single limb or body part will affect only its symmetric counterpart. The effects last for 10 turns unless countered but are short live in high level taijutsu users (Jyuken users, EIG users), which have an unparalleled awareness of their body movement, quickly adjusting themselves to their new nervous arrangement and in medical ninjas, who possess a high level of awareness of their own bodily functions, achieving the same effect by pure control and adaptability.

Another use of this knowledge is to achieve local anesthesia or numbness through a simpler application of the same concept:

(Iryō Raikō Ninjutsu: Shinkeikei Konran no Jutsu) Lightning Medical Technique: Skill of Nervous System Confusion
Rank: B-Rank
Type: Supplementary
Range: Short
Chakra cost: 20
Damage: N/A
Description: The user charges electrical chakra into his index finger and hits the opponent. Doing so temporarily neutralizes all feeling to the targeted area for a limited amount of time, essentially anesthetizing it (by overloading and numbing the nerves with the electrical discharge), allowing the medical ninja to perform minor surgery or sutures without the patient having to endure the pain or being able to move his body part. This type of local anesthesia is very effective on the limbs and superficial tissues and, depending on which nerve cluster/pressure point/body area its applied to, can even leave a whole limb anesthetized. In battle, this skill can be used with free form taijutsu to great effect, though, due to the rapid contact, will produce a shorter effect.
Note: Lasts 5 turns for medical uses but only one turn if used offensively

But this knowledge doesn't stop here. As one learns medical ninjutsu, one gains knowledge of the chakra, chakra system and tenketsu throughout the body. While one can't, without the Byakugan, seen these minute details, a medical ninja is knowledgeable enough to, through the use of Diagnosis, know the location of each person's tenketsu as well as his chakra lines when performing said skill. While closing a tenketsu requires jyuuken mastery, opening one requires either that or medical mastery. Through a medical technique, you can re-open closed tenketsu and chakra lines. A medical ninja also becomes able to feel and evaluate the Eight Inner Gates of a patient, if they were opened or not before, if they are healthy or not and if they, if opened, will burst and kill the user or not. They can't, however, manipulate from the outside, these gates to neither forcefully open or close them. They can't, either, heal damaged Inner Gates.

While this knowledge is essential for diagnosing the problems, it can be extremely important when restoring missed body parts, doing surgery or treating the result of various techniques, like the aforementioned Jyuuken but also the result of opening the Eight Inner Gates, etc etc.

Finally, some battle skills and techniques resort to damaging a tarks chakra system either by damaging the chakra pathways or by disturbing ones chakra flow. Genjutsu is a good example of this. Because patients like these exist, Medical Ninjas needed to learn how to treat them and as such developed techniques to help in this task.

There are a few things that can't be done though, like healing the Eight Inner Gates. But there are many more that can. For example, restoring chakra, calming the chakra flow and restoring it to normal, opening up closed tenketsu, rebuilding missing chakra lines and finally, purging mallicious chakra or energy from a patients body.

All of this is done through these techniques that revolve around chakra, chakra pathways and chakra flow:

(Iryo Ninjutsu: Kūgeki no Tenketsu) Medical Technique: Open Tenketsu
Type: Supplementary
Rank: A-Rank
Range: Short
Chakra: 30
Damage: N/A
Description: The medical ninja, once having diagnosed the patient as having a Tenketsu traumatically closed, will press one of his palms on the vicinity of the Tenketsu affected and use his own chakra to open it. While one can open several Tenketsu with one use, if the patient has more than half of his Tenketsu closed, the technique will need to be used again. The final core tenketsu (#361) cannot be opened if closed.
Note: Can only be used by medical ninjas

(Iryo Ninjutsu: Modosu Heikō) Medical Technique: Restore Balance
Type: Supplementary
Rank: S-Rank
Range: Short
Chakra: 40
Damage: N/A
Description: When facing a patient with a chakra disturbance or an abnormal chakra flow, the medical ninja will place his hand on the patients chest and use his chakra to calm and retore the normal flow of chakra of the patient. This technique can essentially dispel chakra abnormalities and allow for healing techniques to work better. The result is leaving the patients chakra in a calm and healthy flow. Additionally, as a side effect, this technique leaves the patient complete calm and relaxed, without pain or stiffness. It can also be used to dispel Genjutsu the patient might be under the influence of, including Doujutsu Genjutsu and pure Yin Release techniques. The medical ninja, however, cannot use this on himself.
Note: Can only be used by medical ninjas.

(Iryo Fuuinjutsu: Setsuzoku no Chakra) Medical Sealing Technique: Chakra Link
Type: Supplementary
Rank: S-Rank
Range: Short
Chakra: 40 (-100 per turn for the user, +100 per turn for the patient)
Damage: N/A
Description: An otherwise simple technique in concept, it stands as a very complex technique. The medical ninja, when facing a patient with depleted or near depleted chakra, will link his own chakra flow with that of the patient, sharing some of his chakra with the patient. Because not all ninjas have the ability of chakra transfer, medical ninjas developed a sealing technique to allow this. The user will take 2 small paper tags with a seal inscribed containing one the kanji for "Donor" and the other the kanji for "Recipient". He will place the respective tags in their place on the chest (one on him or a donor, and the other on the person that needs the chakra) and do the Horse+Hare+Tiger handseal, triggering the technique. The seal on the paper tag will expand and spread across the targets body. The donor seal and the recipient seal are connected to each other and as such make it possible to link both chakra networks. Immediately, the chakra will start to flow from the one with more chakra to the one with less chakra. Without medical knowledge and mastery, one wouldn't be able to link both chakra networks without hurting both targets but without chakra transfer abilities of their own, a medical ninja needs the seal to mediate the transfer. Once the transfer is under way, it can be cancelled by doing the same handseals in an inverse order or let it take it course as the seal has a safeguard to prevent death. The seal will only serve to, at most, equalize both targets chakra levels, never allowing the donor to drop below the recipient. For example, if the donor has 1002 points of chakra and the recipient has 2 points, the technique will end when both are left with 502 points of chakra. A drawback of the technique is that both participants need to have their chakras calm and undisturbed. If one is under the effect of a genjutsu it will pass to the other and if one has natural energy mixed with his chakra and the other is incapable of dealing with it, he will petrify. A big vantage of the technique is that while one needs the ritual to trigger it, once it starts, both parties no longer need to be near eachother, allowing the medical ninja to treat other patients while donating his chakra or even go to another battlefield to help in another front. Additionally, the seal is refined enough to filter Natural Energy and other harmful energies that might be coursing inside the donors or recipients chakra system, allowing the use to cause no harm to either side due to those factors.
Note: Can only be used by medical ninjas with sealing mastery.

(Iryo Ninjutsu: Saiken no Keiro) Medical Technique: Rebuilding Chakra Pathways
Type: Supplementary
Rank: S-Rank
Range: Short
Chakra: 100
Damage: N/A
Description: A simple technique designed solely to help rebuild and regenerate lost or destroyed chakra pathways. In essence, its a more advanced and highly specific form of Mystical Palm in which the user will focus large amounts of chakra (orange in color) on his palms and, through it, helps rebuild chakra pathways on a patient. This technique, despite being Medical in nature, actually has a very strong Yang component. The user needs to visualize the chakra pathway and will it to regenerate back to its former form. The technique is very hard to use, requires lots of concentration and focus, consumes a lot of chakra and takes a lot of time. To rebuild the chakra pathways in an area like the patients hand, the user will take 3 or 4 turns of continous use. This technique cannot rebuild Eight Inner Gates nor destroyed Tenketsu.
Note: Can only be used by medical ninjas.

(Iryo Fuuinjutsu: Chakra Kiyomeru) Medical Sealing Technique: Chakra Purge
Type: Supplementary
Rank: S-Rank
Range: Short
Chakra: 70
Damage: N/A
Description: A sealing technique designed to purge mallicious or harmful chakra from a patient. The user will place a small paper tag with the kanji "Purge" on the patients chest and do the confrontation handseal with his other hand. The tag will activate, spreading a circular sealing formula on the chest of the patient. The seal will then draw onto itself all the harmful and external chakra that might be present in the users path way. This can work to revert incomplete jinchuriki transformations, curse mark transformations, sage mode, etc. As long as there's an external chakra or energy that isn't the patients native one coursing through him, this seal will draw it in and purge it from the patient. Once the seal does its job, the tag becomes pitch black and crumbles into ash.
Note: can only be used by medical ninjas with sealing mastery.

So another class that teaches you some jutsu, though are all healing and you are unable to learn the Fuuinjutsu ones unless you have advanced (formerly medical) fuuinjutsu permission. Even then, they'll just be taught to you in that training.

 

[ZK]

Advanced fuuinjutsu is on the prize list. If I'm fortunate enough to earn a price I might pick that. It seems pretty cool.

I like this. The anatomical knowledge doesn't really provide any numerical boost, just a little bump upwards. It allows you some freedom in wording Taijutsu CJs, or any custom that make use of this knowledge. These are the kind of abilities I really value; the small passives that have an impact on your baseline, however humble.
Shame that we can't do anything about damage caused by the EIG; but I guess that could get pretty game-breaking, haha. But, all in all, a very interesting lesson.

We'll start with these:

( Iryō Ninjutsu: Chakra No Ito ) - Medical Technique: Chakra Threads
Type: Supplementary
Rank: B
Range: Short
Chakra Cost: 20
Damage Points: N/A
Description: This jutsu makes threads of chakra that the user weaves around the target, somewhat similar to those used by puppet users. The threads then embed themselves into the target and connect both the user's chakra flow and the target's chakra flow directly by the tenketsu surrounding their hearts and in that area. Because of this, the heart rate and chakra frequency of both ninjas equalize and become in-sync in the areas surrounding their hearts. Upon doing this, any alteration between the chakra flow of one ninja will affect the other in the same manner. If one ninja dies, so does the other. These threads are unbreakable unless you use a strong cutting jutsu (A-Rank and above). The technique can also be used to keep an ally alive by sharing with him ones life-force and forcefully making his heart beat as it feeds off the users own heart. This technique only affects the heart but as it's the primary organ to sustain life, it can easily affect the targets and user's life.
Note: Only Medninja or Fuuma Clan members can use this jutsu.

We saw this used a long time ago in the anime @__@

I think the description covers what I need to say, though do ask any questions.

Spoiler

( Iryō Ninjutsu: Masui Sejutsu ) - Medical Technique: Secret Anesthesia Technique
Type: Supplementary
Rank: B
Range: Short
Chakra Cost: 20
Damage Points: N/A
Description: The user will charge a special chakra into one of his hands manifesting it as an ethereal pure chakra familiar, resembling a snake. It will then bite the patient, injecting chakra into him. This chakra is designed to render a patient unconscious. The effect takes some time to establish and the patient needs to be still for it to be successful but is very useful to perform surgery, suturing wounds, setting bones straight, etc as it effectively sedates the patient and acts as a general anesthesia. While it can be used in battle, its almost impossible to do so because of the time it takes for the sedation to work and the need for the connection to remain intact until it does work.
Note: Lasts 2 turns

Not really useful in battle unless they are already paralysed, but in terms of medical operations it has its use. Your chakra will take on the needed properties and you'll shape it into a snake of which bites and holds onto the target until they are asleep. They'll stay asleep for two turns.

Interesting. The secondary ability of the first tech; "The technique can also be used to keep an ally alive by sharing with him ones life-force and forcefully making his heart beat as it feeds off the users own heart. This technique only affects the heart but as it's the primary organ to sustain life, it can easily affect the targets and user's life." Can than be used in an isolated way, simply using the tech to keep another individual alive despite monstrous injuries?

 

[Shinta]

It can be, though if your attacked patient has no way of keeping blood in their own body, you'd just be pumping them dry of whatever blood remains. So as long as you patch major wounds, you can keep an essentially broken body alive with this as long as you need/want to... almost to a torturous extent now that I think about it...

( Iryō Ninjutsu: Chakra no Mesu ) - Medical Technique: Chakra Scalpel
Type: Supplementary/Offensive
Rank: D - A
Range: Short
Chakra Cost: 15 - 30 ( per turn )
Damage Points: 30 - 60
Description: Chakra no Mesu is a special Ninjutsu technique used by medical ninjas. The ninja will focus chakra to their hands. This medical technique then enables the users chakra to transform into small, sharp blades. This can then be used for highly accurate incisions necessary for surgeries and anatomical dissections. Unlike regular metal scalpels, the chakra scalpel can make cuts inside the body without actually creating an open wound, limiting the risks of an infection (although it can also be used to cut the external tissues as well). The chakra scalpel can also be used offensively, although it requires great precision to be effective. Because of this requirement, using the chakra scalpel offensively is highly unusual. In heated combat, even the greatest medical-nin won't be able to exert the precision needed to make fatal cuts, but it can still effectively cut muscle tissues and tendons, rendering the target immobile. Adding to the technique's blade like quality, it also appears to give the user an increased level of durability over their chakra clad hands. The strength and effects of the technique are determined by how much chakra is put into it and how much skill and focus the user has in the technique. Its effects vary according to the targeted body though to cut through strong tissues such as bone, great skill, focus and chakra is needed. The effect can be sustained while the user focuses chakra into it.
Note: Can only be used by Canon Medical Bios or NB Medical Ninjas.

Varies in rank and strength depending on the chakra you put into it, ranging from D-rank to A-rank. In surgeries, you can see the use for this and will have the ability and focus to make prevision cuts. In combat, aiming for certain tendons or blood vessels will be extremely difficult, not to say you wouldn't be able to sever a hamstring but aiming specifically for the spinal-cord between vertebrae would be extremely difficult. This remains active so long as you maintain focus and pay the chakra cost per turn.

( Iryō Ninjutsu: Iryō Mōdo ) - Medical Technique: Medical Mode
Type: Supplementary
Rank: A
Range: Short
Chakra cost: 30 ( -30 per turn active )
Damage points: N/A ( Heals up to 40 damage per turn )
Description: After forming 4 hand seals, this mode envelops the user in a flowing blue chakra and allows them to constantly heal themselves in the midst of battle while at the same time boosting their stamina and vitality as it replenishes their strength and health. The limitation of the technique in terms of healing is its low speed and inability to heal complex injuries (complex fractures, lost body parts, tissue loss etc), though it can heal superficial and medium injuries in a quick fashion. Over time, this mode consumes the user's chakra until it finally wears off by itself. The technique lasts for three turns before deactivation.
Note: Must have medical training.

The famed Mode of Medical Past... used to be a little more OP and Overused by certain individuals until it became what you see now. Good for healing kunai/shuriken wounds, blunt force trauma (not fractures) and the like but only to a max of 40 chakra points for turn.

The famed Mode of Medical Past... used to be a little more OP and Overused by certain individuals until it became what you see now. Good for healing kunai/shuriken wounds, blunt force trauma (not fractures) and the like but only to a max of 40 chakra points for turn.

Now this is what I'm talking about. With a little extra chakra you can keep these puppies going for a while; just passively inflicting more damage in Taijutsu and healing small to medium damage. I guess, for a question, how exactly is it determined if an injury can be healed by the Medical Mode? Like, I see the restrictions, but the 'type' and extent of a given injury is hard to determine exactly, right? So it's there some wiggle-room here, for those set on 'maximizing' (finessing) the technique's abilities?
And, uh, what comes next? I can't imagine I'm considered a Doctor yet, lol

 

[Shinta]

Aside from the written restrictions, you would be free to finesse the technique as far as you dare to do so. In reality, instead of it being fully re-worked, the abused components of it I feel were simply cut out without thought for how the jutsu would then operate.

Well, there are some pills we can go over?

Spoiler

(Heishi Piru) Soldier Pills
Type: Supplementary
Description and Background:Soldier pills are a more combat aimed variation of the military ration pill. Upon ingesting the pill, your chakra supply doubles, but burns at a greatly accelerated rate due to the "pressure" involved. Upon ingesting the pill, any ninjutsu you use gains +15 damage and any taijutsu gains +10 for 4 turns. Upon expiration of the effects you must use an extra 10 chakra for every technique afterwards for 5 turns with no enhanced effects due to the fatigue setting in meaning you have to force your techniques more, and thereby adding to the toll it takes on your body. These pills are a basic medicine medical ninjas use in combat and are essentially black small round pills which are swallowed and absorbed through the mucosa in the stomach, made off of various ingredients and medicinal herbs as well as stimulants. Can only be given out to up to 4 times, excluding the user's use.
Description of Side Effects:
-Upon using a second pill in a conflict the additional chakra cost after expiry rises to +30 until healed
-Upon taking a third pill, the medical ninja will suffer cardiac arrest upon expiry of the pill.

(Hyōrōgan) Military Ration Pills
Type: Healing
Description and Background:Military Rations Pills (兵糧丸, Hyōrōgan) are special pills that replenish one's chakra and nourish the body. It is made up of powerful stimulants and nutrients, said to allow the user to keep fighting for three days and three nights without rest. Replenishes 50 percent of the user's maximum chakra supply per pill taken, along with pumping stimulants into the body to alleviate tiredness. These pills are a basic medicine medical ninjas use or distribute in combat and are essentially dark brown small round pills which are swallowed and absorbed through the mucosa in the stomach. Can only be given out to up to 4 times, excluding the user's use.
Description of Side Effects:
-Taking two pills in a conflict results in hyper-stimulation of the cardiovascular system. The users heart rate and blood pressure increase to the point they become painful for 6 turns after taking the pill.
-Taking 3 pills in a conflict pushes the user's cardiovascular system to breaking point, resulting in heart failure after 4 turns.

(Ketsueki no Zōka Piru) Blood Replenishing Pill
Type: Healing
Description and Background: Contains high concentrations of amino acids, iron and mitosis inducing enzymes designed to turbo boost the production of erythrocytes from haematopoetic stem cells in the human body. This pill alleviates and cancels the symptoms of blood loss after one turn. These pills are a basic medicine medical ninjas use or administer in combat and are essentially dark red small round pills which are swallowed and absorbed through the mucosa in the stomach
Description of Side Effects:
-Taking 2 pills leads to increased blood pressure, and increased likelihood of blood clots forming, specially through trauma.
-Taking 3 pills over stresses the cardiovascular system and causes aneurysm after 4 turns.

but after those... yeah, your medical training is complete. The world of being a Medical Ninja isn't really something all that special any longer, just a list of other techniques you can learn/use. Though it is supposed to grant you some extra wiggle room with submitting cj's, being that you can target physiological aspects more accurately, there is really nothing else too Medjutsu. Poison is separate and so is Advanced Fuuinjutsu now.

These all seem pretty straightforward. And they can all be taken passively?
Well, okay then... I don't really feel like a medical professional, but I guess I'm ready to go cut open some people.

 

[Shinta]

Yes, to the best of my knowledge they are passive. Please note that two of those pills can only be given out four times per event. Also note that clones are inclusive of your 3 pill limit. For example, if you take a pill to regain chakra and so do your two clones, once those clones disperse, the side effects will stack back on you and you'll suffer the overdose of the pill.

Also, the pills are passive because they are not considered a technique, as stated in the Medical Custom Jutsu Thread:

Rules Of Custom Medicine Pills

-You are allowed to submit 3 pill recipes. 1 Healing, 1 Supplementary and 1 Poison. These do NOT count towards your custom limit as they are not techniques.
-You are allowed to use medicine on yourself a maximum of 5 times per individual battle. Taking More constitutes an overdose and will severely damage you.
-Using a pill requires the posting of the recipe template, but does not take up one of your 3 moves a turn

 

[ZK]

Well there we go. Where do I go from here?

 

[Shinta]

Well, now you can go heal people in the Hospital or Ninja World. If you want, it's not a requirement xD

You can now submit medical CJ

You must be registered for see links

that include submitting your own medicine/pill. The first post of that thread should give you enough info as to what you need.

Can it be a requirement that the pills must be taken as a suppository?

Well, if you want to give them to people and say that's how they work, I won't stop you. Not like I'm on the medical ethics board or something xD

Fair enough, lol. Thank you for the training, though. It's been a pleasure!
