Fake Fic Summaries, 14/? the Penny Proton edition (2016-05-08)

May 9, 2016 jacksgreysonLeave a comment

I’ll be honest, I don’t actually like The Big Bang Theory series – mostly because I hate how the writers treat their own characters (and I am really disconcerted by Leonard, especially in recent episodes. He’s so skeezy). But my dad enjoys it and occasionally I’ll end up watching some episodes with him; the three that I ended up watching kind of squashed together in my head and I shook out this:

Penny Proton Season 2: Ep. 8 String Theory

Sheldon’s never been impressed by the reboot of the Professor Proton TV series, especially since the titular character isn’t even a professor! But there’s no way he’s going to reject being the scientific guest for the string theory episode.

Or, Penny makes a change, Sheldon takes a chance, and somehow they find love.

Sooooo, basically, maybe a year before the series starts, someone decides to reboot the Professor Proton series but decided that Arthur Jeffries is too old and unappealing to younger audiences. And, since they can just get a scientific consultant for the writers, they don’t need to have the new Professor Proton actually be a scientist themselves.

Enter, Penny – who decides, after the terrible serial killing gorilla horror movie that she’d rather do something that this isn’t going to get her fame so she’d rather have some self-respect – as the “daughter” of Professor Proton, exploring the world through science. And occasionally they have scientific guests when applicable, because… I said so.

Penny and Sheldon clash but not as badly as they do in canon – even if she’s not a scientist, she’s been acting as a scientist and that does give a new outlook on both sides. They’re a step closer to each other than they are in canon, and she’s nowhere near as unhappy (because she has a steady job which is fun, even if it’s not the glitz and glamour that she wanted), and Leonard doesn’t have that bullshit “dibs” (god, he’s soooo skeezy) so it’s easy for them to just kinda… click together.

I’m highly unlikely to write this (given my dislike of the show) but if I were, I’d want the following:

Sheldon is a hilariously big hit (he basically is like a giant grumpy muppet) and becomes a recurring scientific guest – he knows enough about various fields that he can cover different topics.
(Most of) the others also get tapped in to be scientific guests. In order to get over Raj’s “can’t talk to women” problem, the show uses puppets. Which is a thing because I said so. (In the same vein as Good Eats with Alton Brown on the Food Network Channel).
Penny’s friends on the crew totally ship her with Sheldon (though some of them rare-pair ship her with Raj or Amy) and since most of them are also straddling that scientists-but-not line they do get along with the Big Bang crew.
Arthur Jeffries occasionally makes cameos on the reboot (and he is also less depressed since he’s been reminded about how much good this show does even if it did cost him his career/marriage, and lately the show has become more respectable as a way to spread science knowledge to the masses. Fuck elitist scientists! This is the generation that grew up and were inspired by science on TV).

Basically, my brain saw so many problems in the episodes that I did watch that it was like… let me just solve these problems by nudging things slightly to the left or right and then I ended up with this. Also, I’ve been watching Star Talk with Neil deGrasse Tyson lately and Bill Nye is a frequent guest so…

Uh, here’s a fic rec because it’s the only TBBT fic I’ve ever enjoyed enough to reread: The Paladin Protocol by SpaceAnJL

Really love your Shikako/Gaara stuff :) On a world-building(ish) note, if I had to guess why Temari’s marriage was accepted by Suna despite causing inheritance problems I would say it had a little to do with Gaara’s approval, the fact the Konoha was the dominant power, and the fact the the Nara owned farms. A steady, fairly priced source of food has got to be pretty important in the desert even if only as a “for emergencies” option.

1) Thanks, anon 🙂

2) Gaara’s approval and Konoha’s dominance I kinda figured, as well as Temari probably straight up saying she’d marry that lazy, sleepy-eyed weirdo and no group of heckling old men could tell her no. But I never considered that last one–the Nara owned farms–and that’s a fantastic point!

I guess I had been thinking about Temari and Shikamaru’s marriage as a political matter only on the most shallow of levels (I am a little bit ashamed; my sisters would laugh, I am always ranting about political ramifications whenever we watch movies that have princesses/princes getting married).

Because it’s canon (or at least DoS canon) that the clans have holdings/businesses outside of Konoha itself. And while the Nara might not necessarily have farms for foodstuffs, you know the Akimichi definitely do, and probably all three clans function as a single unit (you marry one of them, you marry all of them :P).

I guess given the importance of both Temari and Shikamaru to their respective villages, there would be massive bride price/dowry exchanges. Probably trade agreements, food from the Nara/Akimichi/Yamanaka and… hm… maybe considering those clans are pretty big in pharmaceuticals they’d get glassware from Suna (this is from PolarPanther’s Against the Odds Ch14, which is a fantastic HPxNaruto crossover fic and the only complaint I have is that updates are veeeeeeeery slow) which they probably have given their expertise in poisons. Or maybe they more directly trade for poisons (so that the Nara and Yamanaka can develop cures and sell them to the Konoha hospital).

And since there’s a steady exchange of food and other goods, it’ll need a steady supply of shinobi to deliver/protect that trade. Which, you know, Suna really would appreciate.

My headcanon for the Kazekage line thing was that it wasn’t actually law – the hat had passed through the family because they were actually the most powerful. However precedence combined with Gaara and siblings popularity made the elders worry that the people of Wind, if not the people of Suna, would demand the bloodline continue which could put them in a bind but gave them no legal standing to make demands about Shikadai.

That does sound a lot more practical than what I understood of it. Like, I thought it was a weird monarchy-esque divine right sort of thing. Which is also why Gaara was made the jinchuuriki as opposed to a random baby–it wasn’t a “this is most convenient” + “if I can’t sacrifice my own child what right do I have to ask someone else to do so” like with Minato–because with Gaara it was planned. So they could have put it in a different baby, but I suppose only their bloodline is “strong enough”

And then Temari’s choice to marry Shikamaru and live in Konoha was kinda the equivalent of abdicating? Not that eldest child is first in line or anything but that between her and Kankurou, if anything should happen to Gaara, she’d be the best suited to be Kazekage, since she is more powerful than him. And then kinda in that line, her children–even one born into the Nara clan–would probably be stronger than any of Kankurou’s children?

Or something like that.

Part of me kind likes the idea that Sunagakure is designed more like a monarchy? Because the villages having different laws of succession just seems really interesting to me–the villages probably weren’t created the same way, you know? Like while Konoha was essentially a giant alliance of Fire Nation clans so as not to continuously kill each other, I kinda figure Kiri has always been more cutthroat. Because you have to be pretty damn fearsome to get multiple islands to listen to you rather than each individual island having their own mini-village. Or, in contrast, my headcanon for Uzushio is that it was basically like a university and each island had a specialty and the Uzumaki were basically the only ones who were generalist enough to be objective leaders.

With Suna I kind of imagine that it was originally an oasis that the Sabaku siblings’ ancestors controlled with a (literal) iron fist and that’s why they reign. Obey me and my descendants and you have access to our water. And then the village formed and even though the water disappeared by that point it just became obey me because I am powerful…

Sorry for ranting, anon. ~WORLD-BUILDING IS GREAT~

Well it is canon that the Wind Daimyo and Suna haven’t exactly been on good terms–what if there’s a historical reason for that? Like, they’ve just never been on good terms as much as reluctantly cooperative terms. Maybe the Wind Daimyo’s Court was grown around a second oasis–one whose owners used business and trade rather than raw power to cultivate their control and eventually turn into the nobles. They’re not fully rivals–because merchants need protectors and soldiers need supplies–but they don’t particularly like each other. And as soon as the Daimyo could drop Suna and switch to a different, cheaper source of protection they did so–hence the economic struggles leading to the attack during the Konoha Chuunin Exams.

The Gaara thing was, well, Shukaku wasn’t transferred from jinchuuriki to jinchuuriki–he was sealed in some item (a giant kettle?) and then sealed into the not-yet-born Gaara through his mother’s womb (which… what). According to the Naruto wiki the Kazekage just wanted a jinchuuriki to make the village powerful and couldn’t use Temari and Kankurou because they weren’t compatible. I don’t know how he decided Gaara was, or if they just went ahead with it regardless, but

Konoha I feel like there’s not really an immediate equivalent that comes to mind because the hat wasn’t really limited to certain families. Like, the Yondaime was basically one step up from being a nameless orphan–as opposed to the many clans of Konoha who never had a member become Hokage. I mean, the Senju aren’t even one of the Noble clans of Konoha (Aburame, Akimichi, Hyuuga, and Uchiha) but they’ve had three Hokage while the others have had none.

But, yeah, for the others I totes agree. I also really like your Kumo idea that it’s a straight forward challenge for leadership, or, at the very least, it’s a very out in the open transition from leader to leader so theoretically other people could step up and make an attempt but probably don’t because there’s already an obvious contender in mind (apparently all of the Raikage are named A? And according to the wiki the Nidaime Raikage was the Shodaime’s guard… although the Yondaime was the Sandaime’s son so…). Iwa probably thinks the Sandaime has made a golem of himself which isn’t exactly a problem, since literally no one else is old enough to know what it’s like to not live under his rule, but it’s also very creepy.

My headcanon for the Kazekage line thing was that it wasn’t actually law – the hat had passed through the family because they were actually the most powerful. However precedence combined with Gaara and siblings popularity made the elders worry that the people of Wind, if not the people of Suna, would demand the bloodline continue which could put them in a bind but gave them no legal standing to make demands about Shikadai.

Sorta prompt – I think Shikako would have been team 7 even if Sakura had done better b/c politics, but what if, say, Shikaku was worried about Kyuubi after Naruto discovered it and requested she not be on that team? And arranged for a different, medical orientated sensei for Shikako’s new team. Because when I first skimmer over med au that is what I thought was happening

jacksgreysays:

Team Medic AU is following the very minor and stray thought Shikako had in like… chapter six or something very early on… that if Team One (aka Sakura, Jiro, and Youbirin from the Academy) had gotten a medic-nin as a jounin sensei they might have passed and become another genin team. @kuipernebula and I went back and forth a while trying to figure how that would work, what Jiro and Youbirin would be like, how Sakura would be different from canon, etc (you can check out most of it via the Team Medic tag).

Shikako being on Team Seven instead of Sakura because of politics does make sense, because that’s how it’s set up in DoS and snubbing the Jounin Commander/Nara Clan head’s only daughter is not something a person would want to do. But I do also understand and am interested in Shikako being on a different team specifically because her father asked for it.

Because, okay, you can’t really be an overprotective father as a shinobi but there’s probably a way to mitigate the danger your children might be in somehow. Because from a father’s point of view? Having your only daughter be on the same team with three unstable orphans with more power than sense? Not a good thing. Regardless of Naruto knowing or not.

(I actually think Shikaku would be more okay with Shikako being on the same team as a Naruto who knew about the Kyuubi than one who did not. As a strategist it just seems weird that he’d be okay with one person on his daughter’s team not knowing their own capabilities as opposed to being afraid when he does know? And I like the idea that Shikaku knew Kushina and sees so much of her in Naruto that him being the jinchuuriki isn’t the problem, but rather him not knowing is the problem. It’s like giving a kid a button that will set off a bomb but not telling him it will set off a bomb, just telling him not to push it. And, come one, you know Naruto would be the kind of kid to push a button someone told him not to if the consequences weren’t explained to him.)

With Shikamaru, he trusts that Ino and Chouji has his back because he was teammates with Inoichi and Chouza and he knows both of them raised their children right. But he doesn’t have that security with Team Seven, so why not assign her to a team that would be safer?

And sure, maybe it’s not as prestigious, but he doesn’t have to worry about her being on the a team with a bunch of boys (Kakashi included) whose collective reputation amounts to death and destruction. And you know what? Maybe Youbirin is the Nohara clan heir? It’s not a snub to put her on the same team as him. And Jiro’s backstory (as kuipernebula and I have developed) wouldn’t quite match the two children of clan heads, but it’s not so much better off than Sakura’s civilian family status and from the Academy sensei’s point of view, Jiro and Youbirin have proven to work together well, even if Shikako isn’t actually one of their friends.

So yes, I can see a Team Medic AU!AU of Shikako being on Team Medic instead of Sakura–and I can see her wanting to follow the path of a combat medic–but I also definitely see why Silver Queen did not go for it because she basically would be writing three OCs trying to become friends instead of one OC trying to figure out her place in the universe. Oh, wait, no, also the jounin-sensei; so four OCs. Which at that point is so far removed from the original canon that it wouldn’t be as compelling as DoS.

I think what I like about Team Medic AU (the one with Sakura, that is) is that, given the frequency with which Shikako’s off-hand comments/observations end up coming true, this would have been the first one and also the most major one of DoS. And, more than that, it would be evidence that her existence does have an effect on the world and not just in a bad way (see: Shikako’s guilt regarding Ino being on the Sasuke Retrieval team and Shikamaru’s during the Land of Moon arc).

I honestly feel like having Team Medic exist would make Shikako feel better and put less pressure on herself. Because here is a team of genin that didn’t exist beforehand, that are all learning how to become medic which can only benefit the universe. And sure there are some negatives (Youbirin falling prey to Kabuto’s machinations at least temporarily) but ultimately here is a thing that her existence alone has changed. Not her decisions.

And I think that’s something that’s been weighing on her for the past dozen or so chapters–that the only changes she’s been making recently have been deliberate and have all ended up in someone hurt or something gone wrong. With Team Medic it would be a constantly visible proof of her presence having some good–I mean, Haku might also have the same effect but given he’s in another country entirely, Shikako doesn’t see him as often. (She’s just been really stressed lately, okay, I’m so worried about her emotional and mental health.)

I suppose if there had been an incident early on–like during the Academy, Naruto gets hurt/angry enough to even access a little bit of the Kyuubi’s chakra, to which Shikako noticeably reacts the worst to because of her hypersensitivity–then this would straight up be a medical matter. Because even though Shikako has proved the diagnosis wrong–she can become a shinobi–she’s still not able to be on the same team as Naruto. I’d liken it to having someone allergic to dogs on the same team as Kiba.

I mean this does also bring up the matter of how exactly are teams assembled and how far in advance? According to Silver Queen’s timeline in DoS team placement doesn’t happen until a week after graduation, so if anything it wouldn’t need to be too early. If Shikako had a “relapse” when Naruto uses the Kyuubi’s chakra (does he use it on the night he beats up Mizuki?) then this would definitely be something that marks her as unable to be on the same team as Naruto.

It would make sense as to why Shikaku would put her on a team with other medics to be. Also, one of her earliest skills was the Mystical Palm Jutsu and she was considering going into the Medic Corps if she didn’t graduate anyway, so it’s not like Shikaku is consigning her to a terrible fate.

I guess she’d have to actually deal with The Problem of Kabuto early on, which would make for some interesting drama…

Team Medic brainstorm (2016-05-02)

May 2, 2016 jacksgreysonLeave a comment

Okay so it’s way past when I should be asleep but I had this idea and I wanted to share, @kuipernebula.

So, basically it was Team Medic sort of all getting adopted by Tsunade. Like, Sakura primarily still, obviously as her new actual apprentice but the other two a little bit in asimilar way to Jiraiya giving Shikako fuinjutsu advice.

Because if Jiro’s specialty is genjutsu and healing then wouldn’t it make sense that he would be able to understand how Tsunade wakes up Shikako and Kakashi after watching her do it? And a lot of his lightning-specific ideas are awfully fascinating–there’s not much that surprises her in the medical field. So a lot of it is Tsunade going–why would you do that?–and at first Jiro is like… sorry, am I doing it wrong? I hope not… but eventually his confidence builds up and he’s like. No way, I know this will work, I can totally defend my thesis paper–and he goes on to make innovations in the field of medicine because he basically discovered the human nervous system? Or something?

With Youbirin I think it’d be hilarious if it were something like–okay, so, being the badass she is, she’s never really the first medic on a case, especially not at the hospital. She only gets referred a case if it’s something the Medic Corps can’t handle and they are actually really competent so it’s only the weird ones that get passed to her. And the first medic is always there to describe verbally what they did what the situation is, which is good because medics’ handwriting, as a whole, is absolutely awful. Like the thing about doctor’s having terrible handwriting? That basically applies.

Not Tsunade, though, because she is basically Konoha royalty and probably had calligraphy/handwriting lessons. Which is why she can barely read the scribbles of other medics’ notes. But Youbirin grew up in a clan comprised mostly of medics. He can read literally any kind of handwriting–he is the mythical pharmacist equivalent of this world. So she has him become basically like a mini Shizune back up just so she doesn’t have to deal with all of the shitty handwriting the and at first it seems like it’s just paperwork, but in actuality he’s learning an awful lot especially when it comes to being a diagnostician.

Like Sakura gets everything she does in canon (except sooner) but I kinda like the idea of Team Medic and Tsunade being like House the TV series except Tsunade is far more badass and well-adjusted than House is. With Shizune being a little bit the role of Wilson but more like Foreman after House has gotten a new batch of baby doctors.

…

I also had some feels about Team Medic sharing an apartment together and being sleep-deprived, barely functioning adults but nothing really concrete so…

So while I was procrastinating I did some quick recolors; if a redesign of the hoodie is necessary, I can do that, but I figured I’d start with these.

These are great! I am most fond of bottom left but bottom right is also very good. I’m a bit wary of the top two mostly because of the similarities to Mitsuki might be too prevalent, but the bottom ones are different enough that they’re safe.

Okay but… here are some online dollmaker “photos” of each member of Team Medic as genin and as chuunin.

Keep reading

Wow, that first hairstyle for Jiro is remarkably close! Although I’m disappointed there wasn’t a bandanna option for Youbirin.

Not sure how much I like that haircut for Chuunin!Jiro, though. I don’t mind him getting a haircut, but I don’t think an undercut’s really the look for him. Maybe something like…

Keep reading

Ooh! Yes… your chuunin!Jiro haircut is much better than mine! I’d be hesitant to do the across the nose scar (since it’s very reminiscent of Iruka-sensei… unless that’s what you wanted?). I also kind of…

Do you think Jiro’s new jacket is reminiscent of Masumi-sensei’s? As a sort of homage–also still in line with loyalty to people not a place…

I don’t really know what we want for Masumi-sensei, but maybe something like this?

Keep reading

The thing with the Jacket might work. And I agree with Masumi’s bun, but I pictured her with black hair and glasses. The glasses are absolutely necessary because she needs to the scary maniacal glasses-light-flare-thing. Because she can’t be a mad scientist-type without that.

And I hadn’t really intended him to be Iruka-esque, I was just trying to find alternate placements for the scar and that one wasn’t intrusive. And one over the eye would have been too Kakashi, and over the cheek would almost conflict with the scruff I was giving him. Maybe instead of being across the bridge of his nose it’s diagonal across the middle of his face? Like he dodged backwards instead of to the side kind of scar.

Diagonal across the face works well, I think. Because it invokes a far more desperate situation than an across the nose? Like he didn’t have the ability to do more than a basic healing on himself before going back into the fray–or it was such a chaotic battle that he couldn’t concentrate enough to make it a neat heal. I like the idea that of the three Jiro is the least traditional healer–like, yes he’s still a medic, of course, that’s what he’s trained for, but his genius in the medical field is because he’s such a non-traditional healer. His defibrillator hands? No one would think to electrocute their own patient–who does that?

So while he does pick up the healing jutsu quickly (not as quickly as Sakura, of course) he would rather figure out how to alter it than to complete perfect the original… maybe?

To be entirely fair to Jiro, the idea to electrocute the patient is largely based on the well-known fact that electricity can effect muscle movement, either stimulating it or preventing it. So the logical jump to using it to jump-start the heart is still a jump but not terrible. Or at least, not that terrible.

Later on, his medical focus turns towards the brain, because it’s electrical sparks across billions of neurons in the head. Or, also possible, he finds other ways and methods to do things, like his defibrillator hands. In fact, electrcity can be used for short-term alleviation of pain. Also, I feel like he has to eventually come up with a pacemaker seal. He’s not a sealmaster but having a seal made to help people’s hearts beating with electricity sounds like something he’d do.

Add in some other elements, and you can have Wind to aid breathing, Water to disinfect wounds and distribute medicine… Actually those two are probably the best things, so one or both can finish up his elemental affinities.

Actually, giving him sealing could actually help set his medical practice from Sakura and Youbirin. While his battle style is still heavy lightning, having medical seals – like the pacemaker seal and maybe a similar one for anemic patients using water or earth – could really differentiate him. But that’s just a thought…

Also, now that I have a tiny bit of time:

Keep reading

Chuunin!Jiro and Masumi-sensei look great! 😀

I wonder if, since seals don’t start off as his specialty, maybe he goes to Shikako (or TenTen if you don’t want to intrude too much into DoS) in order to help him–as a joint project. I just really like the idea of a secondary character in one story is the main character of another story (and vice versa).

Or, conversely, if you want to save seals for Youbirin–since it goes well with summoning–then you could probably have Jiro specialize in genjutsu. Because if he doesn’t figure out some way to basically make himself immune to genjutsu by having some kind of counter current in his own brain then… well. Maybe not pre-Shippuden, but as an eventually everything goes to shit and it’s mostly the Uchiha’s fault? That’d be a pretty good Chekhov’s gun. And since all sensations are your brain interpreting information from your nervous system that does go well with his Lightning-medical jutsu.

(I think another reason why he is such a unique force in Konoha medicine is that Lightning nature is horrifically rare as a elemental nature within Fire Country. Like it could be the only ones who do have it beside Jiro were the Hatake clan who were a) a tiny ass clan even before Kakashi became the last one and b) highly offensive battle shinobi. So all the Lightning related medical advances? It’s unique to Jiro. Most medics never find out what their elemental nature is–it’s simply not necessary since they’re usually not on the field–and the few that do usually have water or fire or earth (Wind is very rare, apparently).

… He’s probably my fave, too…

Also, sealing is something that takes a long time to become good at. Whereas genjutsu is something that–once understood–can easily built up. It does mesh better with the timeline of “getting stronger” for both of the boys if Youbirin is the one to get sealing…

That does make sense! In that case, the pacemaker seal could be a joint project between Youbirin and Jiro; Jiro understands how to use electricity to move the heart, and Youbirin, with the help of Tenten, Takama, and Shikako, has some knowledge of seals, and has a specialty in medical seals.

Hmm… In addition to the genjutsu immunity, he could also use genjutsu for psychology? Like, using it to understand the mind, how it works, and ways to help people who have some form of mental illness. It dovetails well into his neuro-science, and uses the genjutsu angle pretty well. This probably means he also has several genjutsu based directly on psychological ideas. Probably not entirely real-world accurate ones because I’m not a psychology major, but some basic things like Id, Superego, Ego, Shadow, Persona, Anima/Animus, etc.

It also balances Team Medic quite well since they’re all arguably ninjutsu specialists (if, for obvious reasons, medical ninjutsu) and then Sakura gets taijutsu, Jiro genjutsu, and Youbirin fuinjutsu. The only other things I can think of is senjutsu (sage/natural chakra), kenjutsu (sword), and shurikenjutsu (thrown weaponry) and while the former might work, the latter two are very against the Hippocratic Oath–not that battle medics follow the Hippocratic Oath, but they probably have something vaguely similar? Like a don’t learn something that is purely offensive? Taijutsu is defending oneself, Genjutsu easily avoids confrontations, and Fuinjutsu has many uses.

Is that how the boys discover Inner Sakura? 😀 Yeaaaaaaaaah?!?!?!

So while I was procrastinating I did some quick recolors; if a redesign of the hoodie is necessary, I can do that, but I figured I’d start with these.

These are great! I am most fond of bottom left but bottom right is also very good. I’m a bit wary of the top two mostly because of the similarities to Mitsuki might be too prevalent, but the bottom ones are different enough that they’re safe.

Okay but… here are some online dollmaker “photos” of each member of Team Medic as genin and as chuunin.

Wow, that first hairstyle for Jiro is remarkably close! Although I’m disappointed there wasn’t a bandanna option for Youbirin.

Not sure how much I like that haircut for Chuunin!Jiro, though. I don’t mind him getting a haircut, but I don’t think an undercut’s really the look for him. Maybe something like…

Keep reading

Ooh! Yes… your chuunin!Jiro haircut is much better than mine! I’d be hesitant to do the across the nose scar (since it’s very reminiscent of Iruka-sensei… unless that’s what you wanted?). I also kind of…

Do you think Jiro’s new jacket is reminiscent of Masumi-sensei’s? As a sort of homage–also still in line with loyalty to people not a place…

I don’t really know what we want for Masumi-sensei, but maybe something like this?

Keep reading

The thing with the Jacket might work. And I agree with Masumi’s bun, but I pictured her with black hair and glasses. The glasses are absolutely necessary because she needs to the scary maniacal glasses-light-flare-thing. Because she can’t be a mad scientist-type without that.

And I hadn’t really intended him to be Iruka-esque, I was just trying to find alternate placements for the scar and that one wasn’t intrusive. And one over the eye would have been too Kakashi, and over the cheek would almost conflict with the scruff I was giving him. Maybe instead of being across the bridge of his nose it’s diagonal across the middle of his face? Like he dodged backwards instead of to the side kind of scar.

Diagonal across the face works well, I think. Because it invokes a far more desperate situation than an across the nose? Like he didn’t have the ability to do more than a basic healing on himself before going back into the fray–or it was such a chaotic battle that he couldn’t concentrate enough to make it a neat heal. I like the idea that of the three Jiro is the least traditional healer–like, yes he’s still a medic, of course, that’s what he’s trained for, but his genius in the medical field is because he’s such a non-traditional healer. His defibrillator hands? No one would think to electrocute their own patient–who does that?

So while he does pick up the healing jutsu quickly (not as quickly as Sakura, of course) he would rather figure out how to alter it than to complete perfect the original… maybe?

To be entirely fair to Jiro, the idea to electrocute the patient is largely based on the well-known fact that electricity can effect muscle movement, either stimulating it or preventing it. So the logical jump to using it to jump-start the heart is still a jump but not terrible. Or at least, not that terrible.

Later on, his medical focus turns towards the brain, because it’s electrical sparks across billions of neurons in the head. Or, also possible, he finds other ways and methods to do things, like his defibrillator hands. In fact, electrcity can be used for short-term alleviation of pain. Also, I feel like he has to eventually come up with a pacemaker seal. He’s not a sealmaster but having a seal made to help people’s hearts beating with electricity sounds like something he’d do.

Add in some other elements, and you can have Wind to aid breathing, Water to disinfect wounds and distribute medicine… Actually those two are probably the best things, so one or both can finish up his elemental affinities.

Actually, giving him sealing could actually help set his medical practice from Sakura and Youbirin. While his battle style is still heavy lightning, having medical seals – like the pacemaker seal and maybe a similar one for anemic patients using water or earth – could really differentiate him. But that’s just a thought…

Also, now that I have a tiny bit of time:

Chuunin!Jiro and Masumi-sensei look great! 😀

I wonder if, since seals don’t start off as his specialty, maybe he goes to Shikako (or TenTen if you don’t want to intrude too much into DoS) in order to help him–as a joint project. I just really like the idea of a secondary character in one story is the main character of another story (and vice versa).
