"If we use the Resurrection Technique to treat them, how many more people are needed?" Hiruzen Sarutobi displayed the composure and calmness befitting a Hokage.
"We're still short two people. Normally, four people would be enough, but the patient's organ loss is too severe. One group isn't enough. We need two groups to rotate back and forth to successfully complete the entire treatment process." Fujita gave the answer without hesitation, clearly already aware of these issues.
"I'll find you one more person, making it seven people. Will that be enough to complete the treatment?"
Everyone was surprised, because the Resurrection Technique was no simple ninjutsu. The lack of applicable scenarios, coupled with the extremely high learning difficulty, made ninjas who knew this technique exceptionally rare.
These people all work at Konoha Hospital. Where would Hiruzen find another person? Could he possibly bring Tsunade back? Even if he could, there wouldn't be enough time, and besides, Tsunade—
While the senior executives were lost in their own thoughts, Fujita, disregarding all that, pondered for a long time before saying rather conservatively, "We can give it a try. If it really doesn't work, we can reduce the treatment effect. It's better than death."
At this moment, she could already picture the scene of Yamaguchi Masasuke's two kidneys, one big and one small, but there was nothing she could do. There weren't enough hands, and it was already good enough that she could complete this step.
"Alright, you guys prepare the treatment area now." With that, Hiruzen Sarutobi turned to look at the cat-faced ANBU member beside him. "Go and find Taichi Matsushita. You can also explain the situation here to him and tell him to come and save people as soon as possible."
""
The ANBU were ordered to leave, but everyone else in the room was shocked. Everyone here knew Matsushita Taichi, but no one expected that his medical ninjutsu had reached this level.
The Hokage wouldn't explain anything to them. He couldn't very well say that when he saw Taiichi use the telescope technique to perform Resurrection, he was so shocked that he almost exclaimed "Holy crap!"
Meanwhile, Taiyi, whom they were talking about, was at home studying sealing techniques.
On the right side of the desk was a thick stack of manuscript paper, covered with densely packed runes, clearly used for calculating sealing techniques. There were seven or eight more stacks of such manuscript paper in the corners of the room.
Currently, his sealing technique level is only Lv4, which is 2 levels away from being able to create a sealing talisman with multiple light arrays. Naturally, he needs to work harder, since he can't always trouble Kushina to help him make them.
It was only during my last trip to Daimyo Prefecture, when I gave Saori the sealing talismans, that I learned that making these sealing talismans not only requires superb sealing skills but also various precious materials. The ten sealing talismans that Kushina made back then were estimated to have cost 1 million ryo in terms of cost alone.
This left Taiyi with no way to shamelessly ask for help again.
Fortunately, the book "Detailed Explanation of Sealing Technique Structure" that I brought back from the Daimyo Prefecture Library was quite helpful. After studying it for a month, my Lv4 experience points are almost up, and I believe that my sealing technique will reach Lv5 in the next day or two.
Just as Taiichi was engrossed in a difficult problem, a series of urgent knocks came from the door.
"Bang bang bang bang"
Taiyi frowned, his eyes flashing with annoyance, clearly displeased. Anyone would feel this way if they were interrupted at a crucial moment.
The knocking continued, and instead of stopping, it became increasingly urgent.
"Who is it? Coming!" Thinking to himself, Taiyi put down his paper and pen and walked toward the door.
"Matsushita Taichi, urgent mission." An unfamiliar voice came, but it made Taichi immediately quicken his pace.
The door opened, and when Tai saw the ninja attire of the person standing at the door, his heart sank – it was an Anbu.
"What mission?" Taiyi cut to the chase without beating around the bush.
"Save your captain! He's at Konoha Hospital. Come with me!" The cat-faced ANBU member was decisive, without uttering a single wasted word. After giving his instructions, he turned around, leaped onto the roof, and headed towards the hospital.
Taiyi was stunned by the message he conveyed.
The captain is injured. What kind of injury is it that Konoha Hospital can't treat? He needs to go and get treatment himself.
Seeing the cat-faced ANBU members already running far away, Taiichi quickly closed the door and chased after them.
On the way, Taichi finally learned what had happened from the cat-faced ANBU. When he learned that the hospital was short-staffed and that the Hokage had specially recommended him to participate, he was surprised by the Hokage's courage, but it was also possible that he was just trying anything.
At the hospital entrance, nurses were already waiting. Upon seeing Taiichi's arrival, they quickly led the two to the treatment area. Along the way, they continuously explained the details of Yamaguchi Seisuke's injuries to Taiichi, while also handing him a medical report.
All of this indicates one thing: the situation is extremely urgent.
Sure enough, when Taiichi arrived at the treatment room, the field technique inside had already been activated, and four medical ninjas were using their full strength to perform healing and regeneration techniques in the four corners of the room.
Taiichi's arrival clearly startled the people waiting outside, and Director Fujita was the first to come over.
"Director, has the injury become this serious? Why start treatment before everyone is here?" Taiichi asked, puzzled. The conditions for performing the Resurrection Technique are very demanding. It requires not only the assistance of a large-scale technique, but also that the participating medical ninjas be familiar with the injury and cooperate fully with each other.
The current situation looks like something was forced into a situation, extremely rushed.
"Sigh, don't even mention it. They had a massive hemorrhage during the transfer, and there wasn't enough time to wait for you to arrive. We had to let the first group go first." Director Fujita was also helpless. It was really bad luck; they could choke on a sip of water. "I stayed behind to explain the details to you."
Tai nodded to indicate that he understood, "Then please speak."
"Originally, there should have been two groups of people taking turns, but now there are only 7 people, which means we have to go on stage early and replace those who are short of chakra one by one, so that the people who come out first have enough time to recover their chakra."
Upon hearing this, Taiyi frowned deeply; the situation was worse than he had anticipated.
As expected, Director Fujita continued, "However, frequent personnel changes will cause instability in the field spell, so we need to maintain it for as long as possible after the second group enters. We originally wanted to arrange for you to enter in the first group, but we didn't expect it to be too late."
"Director, don't worry, I might be a little stronger than you think." Taiichi could only encourage Director Fujita at this moment: "I'll be the first to go in for the substitution later, so I can buy you guys some more time."
"That's the only way to arrange it." Director Fujita was also a little unsure of himself at this moment, but Taiichi didn't say anything more.
He believed that his Lv6 level healing and regeneration technique would be a big surprise for everyone, since this ninjutsu was not used often, and medical ninjas naturally had little practice with it.
However, Taiyi can continuously improve his abilities thanks to his stats. While his current level may not be comparable to Tsunade, it is more than enough to surpass most of the medical ninjas in the hospital.
At this moment, the Konoha F4, who had been observing from the side, also stepped forward after the two finished their conversation.
Hiruzen Sarutobi is alright; after all, he was the one who recommended Taiichi, so he still has some confidence in Taiichi.
Danzo, however, spoke with skepticism: "Taiichi, how confident are you? I heard you were able to contact Tsunade, is it through summoning jutsu? If not, why don't you bring her back?"
question?
A test?
I bet they all are. You know Tsunade has hemophobia, so what's the point of bringing her back in this situation?
"No need for Lord Danzo to trouble himself. In the current situation, how can we wait for Tsunade-sensei to return? I believe that the medical ninjas present are all doing their best to save her." As he spoke, he glanced at Chief Fujita and another medical ninja.
Seeing the two nod in response, Danzo didn't say anything more, leaving behind the words, "I hope so," before turning and leaving.
However, Koharu was very friendly to Taiichi, and Taiichi had also made her proud in the Daming Prefecture, so she knew Taiichi's character.
At this moment, Taiyi was also keeping a close eye on the situation within the field spell.
Captain Yamaguchi lay in the center of the surgical site, his body cleaned up, with numerous wounds of varying sizes on his skin. The most serious was the missing part of his right waist, as if a large spoon had been used to cut a deep chunk out.
It's truly a miracle that he didn't die on the spot from such injuries, not to mention that he managed to escape back to Konoha.
Looking at the time, the treatment had been going on for almost half an hour, but the reconstruction of the body's tissues had not yet begun. A large portion of the time and chakra had been wasted, which was obviously due to the four medical ninjas who performed the technique being unfamiliar with ninjutsu.
Ideally, this type of ninjutsu should be performed by a ninja with a large amount of chakra and skilled in ninjutsu, who can oversee the entire process, with others assisting around them.
Looking at the people present, they can only be described as pure medical ninjas. Their chakra control is certainly up to standard, but in terms of quantity, it is somewhat disappointing.
That's true. If she had a huge amount of chakra, she would have become a combat ninja long ago. After all, not everyone is like Tsunade, who is a top-notch medical ninja with equally formidable combat power.
This is not the later Konoha. The reform of the medical ninja system has only been implemented recently. Most of the people who can become medical ninjas are not suitable to be combat ninjas, so you can imagine the quality.
"Let me do it." Taiichi couldn't help but feel anxious, and thought it best to take the initiative: "I see that the ninja on the east side is already sweating."
Director Fujita looked at him in surprise, then checked the time: "Isn't this too fast? He could have lasted at least another half hour."
"We can't wait any longer. Their chakra reserves are too low, and the recovery time will be longer as time goes on. Besides, their efficiency is too low." Taiichi explained earnestly to Director Fujita, "That's my captain. I won't joke around with his life."
"This—" Director Fujita was still hesitating. Her impression of Taichi was still based on her internship experience, and she didn't know him well enough.
At this moment, Hiruzen Sarutobi, who was observing from the side, also saw Fujita's predicament. Although he was not clear about Taichi's level of medical ninjutsu, Hiruzen Sarutobi believed in Taichi's character and that he would not act recklessly in such a matter.
"Let Taichi go. I'll take responsibility if anything goes wrong." At this moment, Hiruzen Sarutobi fully demonstrated the courage and responsibility of a Hokage. "Taichi, go for it. I believe in you."
The words "I believe in you" filled Taiyi with emotion. Just for those words, he was determined to use up his attribute points today rather than disappoint the Hokage.
With permission, Taiichi approached the ninja on the east side, indicating that he was ready to take over.
The ninja visibly breathed a sigh of relief, slowly receding his chakra before getting up and leaving his post.
The moment he left, the previously stable technique immediately began to fluctuate. This is one of the reasons why the success rate of the resurrection ninjutsu is so low; each change of personnel is a huge risk.
Fortunately, Taiyi quickly took over and stabilized the spell with hand seals.
At first, Taiichi's chakra was only working in tandem with the chakra of the other three to promote the reconstruction of Yamaguchi Seisuke's own tissues. No wonder it was so slow. This was the most conservative treatment, aiming to avoid mistakes rather than achieve any results.
However, regeneration is a highly interventionist ninjutsu, and this treatment method itself violates the operating principles of ninjutsu, so it would be strange if it were effective.
Having become familiar with the methods of the other three, Taiyi no longer wanted to wait: "Everyone, please cooperate with my actions from now on."
Without waiting for the other three to answer, he unleashed a burst of chakra and instantly took control of the entire technique.
The other three were initially surprised that Taiyi could still spare the energy at this moment. When they understood the meaning behind Taiyi's words, they were either disdainful, surprised, or doubtful, but none of them believed him.
Until Taiyi's chakra erupted, the powerful chakra swept away the control of the technique from their hands with overwhelming force. The ferocity of the eruption and the precision of the control created a contradictory feeling that filled them with awe, as if they were seeing another Tsunade presiding over the technique.
The three were momentarily stunned, then willingly cooperated with Taiyi's actions. The onlookers were equally astonished, staring in disbelief at Taiyi's chakra, which far surpassed that of a typical Jonin.
Moreover, this seemingly surging yet finely flowing chakra gave them a sense of déjà vu.
On Taiyi's side, he was completely focused on manipulating chakra, abandoning the method of letting the body repair itself, and directly reconstructing the missing tissues in the most direct way.
On Yamaguchi Seisuke's right waist, with the medium as the core, new tissue was being generated. At first, it was inconspicuous, but as time went on, everyone could see from its shape that it was a small kidney.
As the kidneys are just forming, the surrounding blood vessels and nerves grow rapidly, slowly climbing up the surface of the kidneys and connecting and fusing with the blood vessels and nerves that were previously present within them.
As blood flows through the blood vessels into the kidneys, the kidneys, which were originally slightly pale, become vibrant at a visible speed.
Another 20 minutes passed, and the kidney had grown even larger. After some observation, Taiyi announced with satisfaction: "The blood vessels are clear, the glomeruli and renal tubules are functioning normally, and the kidney treatment is complete."
The announcement not only boosted the confidence of the medical ninjas present, but also reassured the Konoha F4 who were watching from the sidelines.
"This is amazing! She's just like Lady Tsunade!"
"Who is he? Does our hospital have someone like that?"
"This is someone the Hokage himself found; how could he not be powerful?"
The whispers outside did not disturb Taiyi's work at all. At this moment, he controlled the rhythm of the entire treatment. When he sensed that the other three were already running out of chakra, he decisively ordered: "Change to the next group, one by one. Make sure to ensure a stable chakra output."
The two people, including Director Fujita, who were already prepared off the field, along with the medical ninja who had left the field earlier, quickly got ready.
Under Taiyi's supervision, the procedure ran smoothly, allowing the other three to take turns performing the procedure at their leisure.
Once all the staff were ready, a new round of treatment began.
Compared to the complete loss of the kidneys, the intestines are only partially missing, which is much easier than creating new kidneys out of thin air. Taiyi, through the transformation of a medium, catalyzes the growth of a new section of intestines that rapidly grows at the edge of the rupture.
After about another hour of treatment, the two sections of intestine were finally fused together. At this point, the main trauma was considered to have healed, and the whole process took about three hours.
As the last muscle and skin of the right waist were regenerated, the dense green light in the field technique gradually dissipated, and this extremely critical rescue finally came to an end.
People outside the field rushed to the center to take care of the injured, help the exhausted doctors, and clean up the scene, all in an orderly manner.
The Hokage and the three advisors and elders went straight to Taiyi, since everyone present could clearly see who had contributed the most to the treatment.
"Taiichi, how are you? Do you need to rest?" Hiruzen Sarutobi was the first to ask about Taiichi's condition. He was truly a talented person. After this incident, everyone knew that his future was at least on par with Tsunade.
The key point is that this is his grand-disciple, a true member of the Hokage lineage.
Hearing Hiruzen Sarutobi's concern, and looking up at the gaze that held a mixture of joy, relief, surprise, and finally, a hint of wariness and hostility, Taiichi forced himself to stay alert. "I'm fine, I can hold on. Hokage-sama, I have fulfilled my mission!"
"Good, good, as expected of Tsunade's disciple, you have completely inherited her mantle." Hiruzen Sarutobi smiled smugly, his face wrinkled up, and he slapped Taichi's shoulder hard with his right hand, looking at the three people behind him as if showing off his grandson.
Mitomon Homura and Utatane Koharu just smiled, while Danzo kept his head down and remained silent. No one saw the malice in his eyes. The more outstanding Taiichi was, the more he hated him. He was originally the one who had his eye on him, but he was too slow and his progress was slow!
"Matsushita Taichi, when will Yamaguchi Seisuke wake up? I think his injuries have already healed." Seeing that Sarutobi Hiruzen was about to show off, Mitokado Homura couldn't wait any longer. "The information in his mind is too important; we must get it as soon as possible."
"Well—depending on the recovery, it'll probably take at least a day."
"That won't do, it's too slow!" Danzo immediately interrupted. "His injuries have healed, we can use genjutsu to wake him up now."
The eyes of everyone present turned to Danzo.
