Medic Au - Tumblr Posts

Did a lil something for @blu3-t3nt4spy-1mp0st0r with Fritz and Dragomedic, they were fun to draw!

Medic Roddy Au (going for a IDW continuity)

After Ratchet left the clinic in the Death End he made a new one in Nyon. He would see a sparkling wonder close, Ratchet would give him energeon so he wouldn't be hungry and bit by bit the Sparkling would come more and more.

After a while the Sparkling would ask to help in any way he could, Ratchet accept and at first only made him give him the tools but after a bit he started to teach him medicine and how to fix bots. After a while he gave the sparkling a name Hot Rod.

After a few more decades then war started, Ratchet decided that the clinic will be for everyone no matter the side of lack of. Him and his newly adopted son will heal everyone they could. Both sides knew that so they never attempt to attack the clinic.

Later Hot Rod is on mission to find alive bots so they could heal them. He finds the third in commend of the decepticons and his cassettes. He manages to take them all and then goes to the clinic. A few days goes by and Soundwave wakes up, his cassettes are already awaken and healthy.

He tries to pay Hot Rod back, giving the clinic energeon, better tools, more funding and other things. He tries as well to convince both Hot Rod and Ratchet to join the decepticons to be protected,they won't force them to abandon other patients but they would be safer.

(Maybe Deathlock/Drift in his time off protect the clinic of bots who want to end the clinic and gets joined by Soundwave later on)

He turned towards the medics, who he'd trained to work at the Dead End clinic. They had all come from the Dead End, wanting to help those around them. They were the only ones who stayed. Unlike those who had the opportunity to go to medical school. Who quickly left for comfier jobs, because they had the luxury. Those who stayed were unable to go to medical school. Their talents wasted until he trained them himself. He wanted them to be the best and he was so proud of the medics they've become.

Over the past few months he's realized he isn't needed here anymore. That the clinic had the best medics possible and it was time to move on.

It was a sad goodbye but also a happy one. Because he knew the clinic was in good hands.

His next location was the city of Nyon which desperately needed his help. He'd already found a building and was working on getting supplies for the new clinic.

When he got there he had a lot of work to do. Especially because he didn't have a lot of help. Most medics didn't want to work in places like this. Which is why they never lasted long in the Dead End clinic.

The only one who followed him was his shadow. A mech named Drift who'd recently begun calling himself Deadlock. He'd saved him shortly after he opened the Dead End clinic. He'd overdosed on drugs and would have died if he didn't bring him back to his clinic. After that Deadlock had stayed by his side. He'd tried teaching him about being a medic, but he'd never been interested. Claiming that he was only good for taking lives which he didn't believe at all.

Sighing he stretched his body as he locked up the clinic for the night. It was so late it was almost morning and he was hoping to catch at least a few hours of sleep in his small apartment.

Walking through town he kept his guard up since Deadlock was busy working. Most people didn't mess with medics but there were always a few desperate enough.

Passing by an alleyway he heard a strange noise coming from inside. His medic instincts tingled and he followed the sound. Finding a sparkling hungrily digging through the trash. Trying to eat anything he could.

He was so tiny with obvious signs of malnutrition. If he was younger he would have tried to take him back to the clinic, but he knows that won't end well. The best thing he can do is give him what energon he has.

He sets it nearby and takes a few steps back. The sparkling eyes him with suspicion but the smell of food calls him. He crawls over and glances at him one more time before quickly drinking all of it. Before he can take a step forward the sparkling runs away disappearing into the city of Nyon.

He sighs, knowing there's nothing else he can do. Grabbing the cube he goes home and falls asleep, trying not to think about the sparkling. He can't help those that don't want it. That's something he's had a difficult time learning.

He didn't see him again until days later, in an alleyway closer to his clinic. The Sparkling was again picking through garbage, although this time he paused when he saw him.

He set the cube down an the sparkling lundged for it, desperate for food and obviously starving. He felt his spark ping in his chest. As the sparkling quickly ran off, once he'd finished all of it.

This kept happening. He'd find the sparkling in an alleyway hungry and desperate for food. He'd give him some and the sparkling would run off. Slowly coming closer and closer to the clinic.

His medic instincts wanted to check him over, but he needed to wait until he trusted him more. Worried he'd push the sparkling away. At least he knows that if the sparkling is getting food from him he's at least eating something.

He was working on a patient who'd damaged their arm and when he looked up. He was surprised to find the sparkling watching him. Of course when he noticed the sparkling quickly ran off.

He didn't see him for a long while and he found himself getting worried, that something happened to him. He thought about asking Deadlock to help him find the sparkling. Until he appeared again watching him through a window as he worked.

During a short break he walked over and carefully gave the sparkling some energon. Expecting him to quickly drink it and run off. Only to be surprised when after drinking the energon the sparkling asked.

"Can I help?"

"What?"

"I've been watching you and I see how you help people. I want to do that too. Can you teach me?"

He found himself nodding. Unable to turn away the eager sparkling.

"Fine. But only if you let me give you a checkup and if you tell me your name."

The sparkling thought about it for a long moment and he nervously watched. Hoping he'd say yes.

"Okay."

He sighed in relief and let the sparkling inside, who looked around in interest. Admiring all the equipment he had and asking questions. Eager to learn everything he could, which made him smile because it reminded him of himself.

The sparkling climbed onto one of the beds and he got to work. Being careful so the sparkling wouldn't be scared off.

"You still haven't given me your name."

"I don't have a name."

"What?"

He looked at the sparkling in surprise.

"What do people usually call you then?"

"Useless, mistake, future shareware, stupid."

He frowned and the sparkling shifted nervously.

"I've been hearing future shareware a lot recently. Maybe that can be my name."

"Absolutely not. That's not a name."

The sparkling huffed.

"Fine, then I don't have a name."

"Then we need to find you one."

The sparkling gave him an unsure look.

"Future shareware sounds good to me."

"That's not a name.

He continued to look him over. Frowning at all the damage he'd endured and angry at whoever called a sparkling shareware.

"How about dropping the future and my name can just be shareware."

"No."

"Fine, then my name's stupid."

"No. Don't call yourself that."

The sparkling through his hands in the air giving him an exasperated look.

"Fine then you name me."

"Are you sure you want that?"

"Yes."

He looked at the sparkling in surprise who kicked his little feet looking nervous.

"Okay... How about... Hot Rod?"

The sparklings optics lit up as he nodded eagerly.

"I like that name."

"It was my first suggestion."

"I don't care I like that name. I think it fits me."

The sparkling kept repeating the name as he worked looking excited.

When he was done he gave the sparkling energon before he ran out. Watching him go he found himself sad that he was leaving, but also happy he was able to help.

"Aw so cute."

He turned around to see Deadlock standing there.

"How long have you been there?"

"Long enough."

"Do you want me to watch over him?"

He thought about it for a moment. Although the offer was tempting he found himself saying.

"No. I don't want him to feel pressured."

"Fine but if that ever changes just let me know."

He didn't see Hot Rod for a long time after that and he became increasingly worried. Wondering if something happened to him. After his shift he'd walk around Nyon searching for him with the help of Deadlock.

Then one day he was waiting for him when he arrived at the clinic. Looking him over, he was somehow even smaller than the last time he saw him. But he didn't see any major injuries.

"Can I help you?"

"What?"

He looked at the sparkling in surprise because he thought Hot Rod had forgotten about that.

"Can I help you with your clinic?"

The sparkling shifted his feet looking nervous and he found himself agreeing. Not wanting him to leave again.

"Okay."

The sparklings face lit up with excitement and he found himself smiling at his enthusiasm. At first he had Hot Rod bring him tools and help clean up.

The sparkling was a hard worker who never complained. Occasionally he'd find him singing to patients, as he worked. In a language he didn't understand but seemed to soothe his patients.

At first he assumed Hot Rod was doing this for money or energon. But when he asked him why he wanted to help he was surprised by his answer.

"I just want to help people. Everywhere I look people are suffering. They've been suffering my entire life, but it doesn't have to be that way. This clinic helps people and I want to do that too."

After that he started teaching him more. Hot Rod was determined and he knew that one day he'd be the best medic on Cybertron.

After watching Hot Rod grow over the past few years. He found himself wanting to adopt the sparkling. Although they lived together, he wanted something official. He'd talked to Deadlock about it wanting his opinion, and had been surprised when he offered to have his name on the paperwork as well. Although he shouldn't have been. Hot Rod had managed to wiggle his way into everyone's spark including Deadlocks. He knew the bounty hunter would do anything for the sparkling.

Getting the paperwork ready. He nervously approached him.

"Hot Rod there's something I have to ask you."

"What is it?"

"I was wondering if I could adopt you?"

Hot Rod jumped into his arms in excitement.

"Yes. Yes. Yes."

He pulled the sparkling into a tight hug the two clinging to each other in excitement and happiness.

"I don't know if you are interested but Deadlock is also willing to have his name on the paperwork if you want."

"I would like that a lot."

"Why don't you tell him?"

He signed his name on the adoption papers and handed them to Hot Rod. Who ran outside to where Deadlock was standing guard.

After that time moved quickly with Hot Rod learning everything he could about being a medic.

Occasionally they would hear whispers of a mech named Megatron. Some people thought he was crazy, while others admired the gladiator. Deadlock had a lot to say about him and seemed to admire the mech. Believing he was the hero they needed.

Then there were whispers of a war breaking out. It made Hot Rod nervous for both the people of Nyon and their clinic. Ratchet tried his best to reassure him. Even though he knew they were no longer rumors.

Deadlock had come to him with the Decepticon badge firmly on his chest. He had joined at the first available opportunity and asked him to join as well.

"The Decepticons need medics."

"I won't abandon the people of Nyon."

"Ratchet... The war has started, soon Nyon will be a battlefield. It won't be safe for you or Hot Rod. Autobots can't be trusted and might try to hurt you two and now that I'm a Decepticon I can't protect you like I could before."

He shook his head refusing to pick a side in this conflict. He was a medic after all not a soldier.

"Please Ratchet. I can't lose either of you."

They both looked at Hot Rod who was helping his patients, having no idea of what was coming.

"He'll be safer here at least for now."

Deadlock sighed knowing Hot Rod won't abandon Ratchet no matter how bad it gets. The only thing he could do was try his best to protect his family.

Soon their clinic was packed full of people who'd been injured because of the war.

Every day it became more and more busy. The two of them never had a chance to rest as they worked on everyone they could. Their clinic never turned anyone away regardless of faction.

Most people knew to respect them and their rules. Never arguing about their policy but some were angry, believing they should take a side.

Deadlock and the people of Nyon usually took care of them. Even though Deadlock was a Decepticon. Everyone knew not to mess with his family no matter what faction you're on. He'd come to make a name of himself. One that struck fear into his enemies, as he quickly rose through the ranks becoming part of Megatron's inner circle. Which allowed him more freedom to visit.

As the war got worse the pressure increased but they both held firm. Deadlock was worried about his family and wanted them to be safe. Which has caused arguments between himself and Ratchet.

Hot Rod was out looking for injured to bring back to the clinic when he found a Decepticon. He was laying against a wall and quickly bleeding out. With a cassette in his arms and another one laying against his side both passed out from their injuries.

He carefully picked the Decepticon up and carried him back to the medbay. Where he spent the night fixing him and his cassettes.

Later, another cassette flew at the medbay almost breaking the window. One of their wings was damaged and he worked on fixing them as well.

The cassettes were the first to wake. There was Ravage, Laserbeak and Buzzsaw and the Decepticon he saved was Soundwave.

The three cassettes seemed weary, worried it was some kind of Autobot trap. Even though they fixed everyone regardless of faction.

Deadlock was away on a mission and couldn't be there to soothe their worries. Although he did mention the Decepticon. None of them thought he'd hang around a place like this.

They were also worried about Soundwave who was in stasis while his body healed. They didn't like how exposed he was. Worried an Autobot would try to attack him. They decided to stand guard.

Since Soundwave couldn't take care of them. He took care of them on top of his other duties. Singing a Nyonian lullaby while he worked. Hoping to make them feel safe so they could recover faster.

When Soundwave woke up a few days later they gathered around his side. Happy he was awake and going to be okay.

He gave them some space as he helped fix others. Checking on them again he gave Soundwave some energon. Looking at his cassettes they were all asleep curled around Soundwave.

"Thank you."

He gave him a surprised look.

"It's my job."

"Most people wouldn't heal me and they definitely wouldn't have bothered to heal them, much less look after them."

"Oh..."

He didn't know what to say to that.

"Here. I have some money for our treatment."

Soundwave reached into his subspace and he stopped him.

"Rest. We don't need your money. We do this for free."

Soundwave laid back and relaxed slightly as though he realized something.

"This is the clinic in Nyon that's always helping people regardless of faction."

"Yes."

Soundwave turned off his optics and fell asleep no longer able to fight his exhaustion.

After Soundwave was released he didn't think he'd ever see him again. Until he started showing up offering them things.

Ratchet thought it was an attempt to get them to join the Decepticons, but Soundwave reassured them it wasn't.

"You saved my life and other Decepticons let us return the favor."

The two of them talked about it at length and eventually decided to accept Soundwave's offers. Since they allowed Deadlock to hang around as well.

When the Decepticon got back from his mission. He'd been planning on surprising Ratchet and Hot Rod. Only to be surprised himself when he saw Soundwave talking to Hot Rod and getting way too close. Optics narrowed he immediately walked inside not wanting Soundwave to flirt with his adopted creation.

"Why are you here?"

"Hot Rod saved me and my cassettes."

He glanced at Hot Rod who nodded.

"Soundwave is dropping off supplies we've been in dire need of."

"I thought you two weren't going to join the Decepticons?"

"We're not. Soundwave is just helping us."

He gave the Decepticon a suspicious look. But with the mask and visor covering his face, it was hard to tell what he was thinking. He didn't like it, but Ratchet reassured him later that it was fine. Soundwave was respectful to their little one and Hot Rod seemed happy. Which seeing him smile had become rarer these days with the war going on.

They both knew Hot Rod was exhausted. He was always working trying to save everyone he could and sometimes that wasn't always possible. Ratchet wanted to believe Soundwave would be good for him. That he'd help Hot Rod have something to look forward to and give him hope. He wasn't so sure and thought Soundwave had ulterior motives.

Although Ratchet and Hot Rod insisted they didn't want to be part of either faction. They were desperately low on supplies with things becoming scarcer as the war got worse.

They both know that eventually they'll have no choice but to close the clinic. But for now they were doing everything they could to keep it open.

The war got worse very quickly. Soundwave would tell him stories in the dead of night, when it was just the two of them. He seemed worried about something but never told him what it was.

On nights like these. They would curl up together in bed just holding each other, enjoying the moment. Never sure if it was there last. Every time Soundwave left. He was always terrified it would be the last time he ever saw him.

The clinic was always busy and it seemed like more people were dying than they were saving. It broke his spark. But he needed to be strong for his patients who were looking at him for help and reassurance.

Even though Soundwave promised he wouldn't. He begged him to leave with him. To join the Decepticons and take Ratchet with him. He promised they could continue doing what they've been doing, but at least now they'll be protected.

It was all things he'd heard from Deadlock who would also ask them to leave. Both of them seemed worried about something. Worried they'd be caught in the crossfire when war reached Nyon.

"I can't. This is my home I must stay here."

Even as he said, it his spark sunk. He knew Soundwave wouldn't beg unless there was a reason, but he can't abandon his people. He won't.

As the war raged people became desperate. Even though their clinic was well respected that didn't stop people from breaking in. Desperate for food and medical supplies. They were usually stopped by Deadlock and Soundwave who patrolled the area making sure they were safe.

Ratchet had gone home for the night and he was staying the night to keep watch over their patients. He'd been singing to himself as he worked. When he looked up he saw someone staring at him. At first he thought they wanted energon or medical supplies, but there was something in their optics. It sent a shiver down his spine.

He'd seen that look before. When he'd go out on patrol looking for the injured. Sometimes if he wasn't careful he'd be jumped in alleyways. They never got far. Either Deadlock or Soundwave would fight them off.

He knew he was attractive. Now that he was older he knew what shareware meant and what they'd been implying when he was younger.

He'd never been interested in anyone before. Not until Soundwave but he's had lot's of suitors in the past.

Looking at the hungry look in their optics as they scanned his body made him shift in discomfort.

He took a step back reaching for the nearest thing he could use as a weapon. Deadlock went with Ratchet and Soundwave was with the Decepticons. From the smirk on their face they already knew that.

His patients were asleep and even if they were awake. They are in no position to fight. He feels a shiver down his spine because it's just him.

He remembered what Soundwave told him and picked up the nearest weapon. His attacker busted open the door and charged at him. He moved away from the patients not wanting them to get hurt.

He swung and hit them on the head. They groaned in pain and lundged at him. He fell to the ground and felt hands wrap around his neck as they snarled down at him.

He reached for his weapon which had gotten knocked out of his hands in the struggle. He saw black spots enter his vision, as he tried to stay awake. Feeling a hand against his modesty panel.

He then heard the sound of a gun going off and his attacker froze. His optics turned off as he fell to the ground already turning gray.

He looked over to see Soundwave standing there looking angry, gun in hand.

"You're back."

He managed to say feeling exhausted and injured. Soundwave helped him stand up and checked him over which wasn't necessary.

"I'm fine. I can check myself over."

Soundwave ignored him as he checked him anyway. Wanting to make sure he was safe.

"You should join the Decepticons. We can keep you safe so something like this will never happen again."

"Soundwave..."

He sighed because they've had this conversation so many times.

"I'm serious. What if I hadn't gotten back early? You know what they would have done to you."

"I'm fine."

He lied trying to hide his shaking body.

"You almost weren't. You'll be safe with the Decepticons. I promise. We'll let you continue helping people."

"This is my home."

"Not for much longer."

He froze staring at Soundwave in shock and confusion.

"What are you talking about?"

"I overheard a meeting between Optimus and Megatron. Nyon is under attack."

"By who?"

"Zeta."

"What!? When is he attacking!?"

"Today. That's why you need to get out of here."

"I can't just leave my patients."

He argued.

"Hot Rod. Zeta Prime is using them as a weapon. He plans to drain their spark energy. Your energy if you don't leave."

"We have to stop him, he can't get away with this. Can you ask Megatron or the Decepticons for help?"

They're trying but the Autobots are stopping them."

"What? Why would they do that?"

He gave him a confused look because they were going to die if they didn't help. Now was not the time to be debating things.

"Whoever helps Nyon gets the people of Nyon on their side."

"Are you serious right now?"

He gave him an incredulous look.

"We're going to die and they're debating how many soldiers they'll get. Do they not realize they'll get nothing if we all die?"

"I know and I'm sorry. There's nothing I can do except save you."

"I'm not going."

He crossed his arms refusing to leave his patients.

"What? You'll die if you stay."

"Then I'll die with my patients. My people and my family."

"Hot Rod don't do this. Don't throw away your life."

Soundwave tried to stop him but he pushed past him, going to check on his patients with trembling hands. They didn't have long and he knew he couldn't get them out on his own.

"Go. You shouldn't be here when..."

He couldn't finish what he was saying. He felt a tear fall and Soundwave put a hand on his shoulder.

"I'm not leaving you."

"I'm not going."

"Then I'm staying."

"What?"

He turned around to look at him in shock.

"But what about the Decepticons? What about your cassettes? They need you."

"They'll be fine without me and so will the Decepticons. If you're going to die here then so am I."

Soundwave took his hand and pulled him into a hug where he broke down shaking in fear.

A moment later and Ratchet burst into the medbay with Deadlock not far behind him. He could hear the two of them arguing about the same things they were.

"What happened here?"

"Someone tried to attack the clinic."

"What?"

Deadlock growled not liking the idea of his adopted creation being attacked. Especially when he wasn't around to protect him.

Ratchet looked him over with a sad frown.

"You know?"

"Soundwave told me."

"There's no reason for both of us to die. You should go with him."

"I'm not leaving."

"Hot Rod."

"This is my home. I was born here and I took an oath. I'm staying."

Ratchet put his hands on his shoulders and looked him in the optics.

"Are you sure about this?"

"Yes."

Ratchet sighed.

"We're probably going to die anyway but I have an idea on how we can get our patients and everyone else out."

"How?"

"First we need to send a message."

He rushed to the tower where Nyons broadcasts come from. When he arrived he told them it was important and a medical emergency. Since he had a reputation for helping people and had even helped people who worked there, they let him through.

With the help of Soundwave they broadcasted the message of Zetas plan and that they needed to evacuate.

"If someone is too injured to move, help them. We must work together if we are to survive. The clinic needs people who can help lift the injured who can't walk. Go to the mountains that surround Nyon you should be safe there."

Immediately everyone rushed into action. He sped through the streets of Nyon helping wherever he could.

When he arrived back at the clinic he was surprised to find it already evacuated.

"How?"

"We've helped a lot of people kid and in return they want to help us."

He hugged Ratchet his spark fluttering with hope.

"Let's make our final rounds around Nyon and then join the others."

He nodded transforming and taking off with Soundwave. He made his usual rounds again helping where he could. They'd just finished up when Zeta appeared.

"We need to get out of here."

"Okay."

With everyone evacuated they went to the mountains, where everyone was waiting. He found Ratchet helping the injured amongst the crowd and he joined him.

They watched as Zeta fired up his weapon, which he'd planned to use on them. Only to be surprised when there was no one there causing his weapon to explode taking him out as well.

They cheered in excitement and he hugged Soundwave because they were safe and the people of Nyon would live another day.

I love this so much

This is probably how most of their study sessions go. I love these dorks so much

ok so like i know the reason is just. sexism but one thing that really irks me about how the post-timeskip naruto manga handled which characters became medic nin bc it makes absolutely no sense to me

sakura's decision to train under tsunade makes sense, and i love that she got a super strength power up, so no notes there, but the other teams.... yeesh

so first off, team ten. we're told that ino decided to follow sakura into mednin land to keep being rivals with her... despite that at no point factoring into their rivalry at all beforehand. ino never showed any interest in that, nor was the yamanaka clan ever mentioned to have anything to do with healing as far as i can remember. it's like going to art school to stay with your bestie when your goal is to become a dentist. why are you there. find other ways to spend time together. it also kinda goes against her family's whole thing as. the guys who do the torture stuff. and it's barely ever relevant anyway

for team ten, i think the team medic should've been shikamaru, and i think this not just bc i think it makes more sense skill-wise (something about the way the nara clan's various shadow jutsu work just screams "you need good chakra control for this" to me), but also bc i think it would make asuma's death a thousand times more painful. bc shikamaru is a slacker. he's not learning medical ninjutsu bc he wants to, he's learning it bc someone on the team has to in order to stick together. they're all chuunin now; one of them has to be a medic. them's the rules. but he doesn't really care that much, even when he is trying to learn, and he's so used to being smart enough to not have to pay attention in lessons anyway that he's not prepared for classes that require his full focus. and then asuma dies and shikamaru is doomed to spend the rest of his fucking life wondering if he could've saved him by paying just a little more attention to those medical ninjutsu lessons (he could not have (but he'll never know for sure))

team eight makes some sense, since giving the girl who struggles with fighting the healing job isn't exactly out of nowhere, but i do feel it was the lazy choice. kiba already had a sister involved in the medical business, even if she deals more with animals, so he could've started learning from her and found that he liked it. plus kiba's goal is to be hokage, and the current hokage is a mednin, so it's not like it wouldn't support his goal. or shino could do it; would add another layer to his character. hinata works fine but. it's just not a very interesting development imo

but what really gets me is team gai. good freaking grief. out of every single team, team gai was the one with the most obvious choice. bc there was only one choice. lee can't do any kind of ninjutsu, and tenten's only real backstory is that her chakra control isn't good enough for her to be a medic nin. so it had to be neji. canon establishes that every team has to have a medic; this is a policy tsunade got passed even before she became hokage, so no way in hell is she going back on it now.

moreover, neji becoming a medical ninja - especially if hiashi encouraged it - would show some development for the hyuuga clan maybe starting to suck a bit less. bc as a medic, neji would be bound by oath to stay alive for as long as possible. imagine a world in which hizashi came back and hiashi was able to tell his brother that not only was their family starting to change, but his son had chosen a path that would prevent him from ever following in his father's footsteps. it would be the first step (of many) to show that the hyuuga clan was freeing itself from its own bullshit.

also it would've made sakura catching the zetsu pretending to be neji a thousand times funnier. like that's her coworker. they've shared shifts at the hospital together. she's seen neji drink vodka straight from a bottle and then crash on her couch after they got out of a twelve-hour surgery on the fucking dumbass chuunin who managed to step on his own boobytrap. she knows him.

- Medic AU -

This au is inspired by a post by @evilkitten3 !

About a year after Naruto's departure with Jiraiya, Shikamaru, Neji, and Kiba find themselves asking for Sakura's help. Their teams need medics, and they're the right men for the job. Sakura gladly takes her friends in and takes them to the best person she knows to train them, the woman who taught her. The fifth Hokage, Senju Tsunade!

After three years of rigorous training and studying, the four ninja (and loveable canine friend), become a secret specialised medic squad that work directly under Tsunade. In emergencies, they work together to run Konoha's hospital and the medical teams on the battlefield

// This is all I got so far, but I'll do more later!

- Medic AU -

A continuation of this post

Konoha's specialised medical unit is a unit that works directly for the Hokage. They are highly advanced medical ninja that are also trained in normal Shinobi arts, allowing them to blend in with other ninja. They are also trained for assassination, if its ever needed on missions. In combination with their medical knowledge and understanding of the human body, they are quite a deadly force.

This unit is a secret outside of the hospital and the staff directly under the Hokage, no one else knows of the capabilities of the unit members. Not even their team, leaders or members. They're sent on regular missions as regular medics, but on occassion they will be sent on more deadly and private ones to gather information or to recover any stolen records or supplies normal ninja can't know of.

The special medical unit also has its own uniform separate from normal medical ninja, a darker uniform that is usually accompanied by a surgical mask. Under the sash is a belt with pounches attached for their tools.

Tsunade, seeing her four most recent students' teamwork and progress in the few years they've been training together, appoints them this role, with her star deciple as the leader.

Each member of the unit specialises in their own field that they work in and teach in.

Kiba specialises in paediatrics. His calming and big brotherly nature fits well in the childrens clinic. A lot of children love Akamaru as well, who helps sick children walk around, listens to them read, and have naps with them. Kiba is also famous for handing out lollipops for every check-up and sometimes for no reason at all. He carries lollipops on him everywhere he goes, even sugar-free ones for kids with dietry needs. On the field, he and Akamaru use their sense of smell and tracking abilities to find anyone who's injured or stuck. He's the jokester of the group, as expected, and he often calls Sakura Tsunade's daughter, noting their similarities.

Shikamaru specialises in diagnosing patients and coming up with strategies on the field. He is very attentive and studies up on everything he can, despite his lazy nature. He's often in the library reading up on illnesses, old and new, and on occasion he and Sakura will study together. He helps develop cures in the lab when he isn't out or with patients. In his career, he has helped with finding multiple cures alongside Sakura and other medics. He's also terrified of Tsunade.

Neji specialises in surgery. He has great skills in finer and more delicate procedures and is regarded as the top male surgeon. On the field, he uses his Byakugan to help find anyone that Kiba's tracking can't. He can also use it to guide medic squads in the direction of groups of injured people. He takes the role of second in command when the captain isn't around, and is often tired due to Kiba's antics. Without his Byakugan, Neji's eyesight is quite poor close-up. So he uses glasses to read reports.

Sakura specialises in toxin research and antidotes. She's the captain of the special medical unit, and in Tsunade's absence, she's the leader of Konoha's hospital. She is highly advanced in most medical fields due to Tsunade's private teachings and her fast learning. She grew a fascination for toxins when the boys joined and took on some of her work in the hospital. She spent months researching venom, poison, and making antidotes whenever she could. Every so often she will take time away to train privately with Tsunade to work on the Byakugō seal and her taijutsu.

Akamaru has a uniform too! On the field, he carries supplies for the unit with his own special harness with four pouches for supplies. In the hospital, he has a far simpler harness with only one pouch that's full of lollies and candy for the children he visits. He also wears the bandana Sakura gave him.

Together, they work hard to keep Konoha safe and the medical department running smoothly.
