Skill #3 // Special

Special: Medical Jutsu/Mystical Palm Technique
Skill Game 15 // Day 120, morning
Form: puppy-shaped turquoise icecube


This medical ninjutsu allows the user to speed up the body's natural healing process by sending chakra from their hands 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 highly 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. [...]

By sending an excess amount of chakra into the patient's body, the user can overload the patient's normal circulation, trapping them in a comatose state.

Considerations &c
OH THANK GOD IT'S SAKURA'S HEALING, although it will be a surprise to her, because up until now she hasn't had any idea she was a healer. For some reason I had these separated into two, but it's just... one skill that I had named two different things. 8|a

But regarding her most recent thread with Lloyd: Sakura has a lot of problems with knowing how to help her friends, especially if they are already injured. Knowing she can heal them will really help her out, mentally. It's a thing she can do for them!!!!

Powercap wise, since this is a jutsu dependent on her chakra control, her skill at healing will keep pace with her chakra. Right now her control is... decent, but weak. She will be able to heal small injuries; more serious injury she could probably slow bleeding and help mitigate damage, but not fix entirely. I guess video game wise she's probably at "cure" level. As she gets more of her chakra control, she will be able to handle more serious injury.

Likely she will never be able to push the powercap enough to actually put somebody into a coma, but with enough intent she might be able to put them to sleep for a few hours. It is also theoretically possible to heal someone from a short distance away, but she would need to buff up a lot to be able to manage that.
