Medical Ninjutsu

Medical ninjutsu ( 医療忍術 , Iryō Ninjutsu , literally meaning: Medical Ninja Techniques) is a branch of ninjutsu associated with healing, as well as the manipulation of their own, or another's body, practised by shinobi categorised as " medical-nin ". The use of medical ninjutsu requires a very advanced chakra control , as well as extensive knowledge on such things as herbs, medicines, the human body and even poisons, and mastering it requires a large amount of chakra.

The knowledge of medical ninjutsu can be used for a variety of purposes apart from simply healing. It can be used to create poisonous gas , deranging the target's nervous system , or directly attacking a target with chakra scalpels . Tsunade , renowned as the greatest medical-nin in the world, was able to apply the extreme chakra control required for medical ninjutsu to create chakra-enhanced strength , an ability she taught to her student, Sakura Haruno .

## Trivia [ ]

- The Creation Rebirth technique is considered to be the absolute pinnacle of all medical ninjutsu, and the ultimate regeneration technique.
- The cells of Hashirama Senju possess an immense Regeneration Ability that requires no hand seals; a feat initially believed to be impossible even for Tsunade, though she was able to emulate it through the use of her Ninja Art Creation Rebirth — Strength of a Hundred Technique .
- In the manga, medical ninjutsu has been shown to be coloured blue, described as bluish white ( 青白く , aojiroku ), as opposed to the anime which depicts them as green. However, the word Aoi ( 青 ) can mean green in certain context, such as when referring to streetlights ( 青信号 ) or bamboo ( 青竹 ). This is because the word Midori ( 緑 ) in Japanese is much more recent, and thus less popular.
- According to Yamato , medical ninjutsu uses either Yin or Yang Release .
- Suggestive of their alignment, all medic-nin with revealed Nature Transformation lists possess Yang Release, which manipulates physical energy and can grant life.
