It was unethical for the twenty-three-year-old doctor to remove little Asami Sato's fire bending ,but given how much danger she will be if Hiroshi Sato were discovered with a bending child, it was for the best .
Noatak -gifted with a talent of blood bending, a medical degree, combat training and surprising luck in building up a revolution - was now the only other mortal who could remove bending.
All thanks to the Hospital Director, Lord Nakamura, who let him read his daughter-in-law's collection of ancient water bending tomes.
The theory had been written by a master healer -who had also invented chi-blocking- with blood bending as strong as his in the days of Avatar Wan.
Chi-Blocking can make an adult's bending become dormant for up to five days according to the tests Noatak -and the former Earth Kingdom Army Lieutenant he spars with- did. Blood bending, according to the theory, could make them a non-bender permanently -and sometimes painlessly- no matter their age.
In the days of Avatar Aang's one-year old successor -whoever that might be- Doctor Noatak -as the radical leader called Amon- can painlessly remove an infant's bending even before it manifests.
So, this is longer than I planned this chapter to be, like 100 words longer… and definitely more Alternative Universe than feasible gaps in canon.
This Lord Nakamura would be the unnamed husband of the Councilwoman and granddad to Misao Nakamura, my OC.
Thank You, Guest, who has left the first review on this fic! I hope I can get you to check out Misao of the Fire Nation and maybe even comment again.
To those who are reading and haven't reviewed, please feel free to do so as most of us aren't really doing much these days.
