Botan Gozen

[Sandy]

EQUIPMENT

Botan's medical kit contains numerous tools for conducting everything from splinting a sprained ankle to field surgery. Though the contents often change based on the nature of the mission, Botan typically carries with her several rolls of gauze, sterile scalpels and hypodermic needles, adhesive bandages, a saline bag, antiseptic wipes, suturing material, and hemostatic agents.

To facilitate the use Kiten Kyōgawa, Botan always carries with her a beautiful, hand-crafted set of stainless steel acupuncture needles. The complete set contains exactly 177 needles, as well as one large hollow needle for use in tracheotomies.

Because of Tsuma's mentoring, Botan has extensive knowledge of herbal medicine and poison. She carries a mortar and pestle and can mix up a variety of ointments and triturations at a moment's notice.

TECHNIQUES

Kobayashi no Jutsu 『 Ninjutsu, C-rank 』
The Determined Glutton Technique (果大食の術) allows the user to rapidly metabolize an ingested food pill, allowing them to fight even after heavy blood loss and exhaustion. A skilled iryōnin can perform this technique on others as well, enabling an entire battalion to continue fighting sooner and for longer.

Kiten Kyōgawa 『 Ninjutsu, C-rank 』
Yellow Emperor's Inner Canon (黃帝內經) is the fundamental practice of acupuncture, and one of the most rudimentary forms of medical ninjutsu. Though it is outclassed by the Mystical Palm Technique, it remains useful as a stress reliever, and should more advanced techniques be unavailable, short-term care with this jutsu can spell the difference between life and death.

Sakuya Kiyasurō 『 Ninjutsu, B-rank 』
The Soothing Touch of Sakuya (気休弄木花姫) allows the user to alleviate great pain with a touch. Once the victim is comfortable, a mild electric shock is administered, numbing the tissue and preventing the pain from returning for several hours. This jutsu goes beyond treating physical injuries; it is also capable of easing psychological trauma.
