Chapter 121 Treatment, Reward
During the conversation, Hoshino Senju's shadow clone had completely healed Hatake Sakumo's injuries.
Such a rapid healing process made Ebizo, who was observing from the sidelines, sigh inwardly once again: "Konoha has truly gained another outstanding talent."
Seeing that the negotiations between the two sides had been completed, Xingyuan Qianshuo's other two shadow clones also squatted down and began to treat the two Sand Ninja who had been severely injured by him.
The two people, who had previously been controlling a centipede-shaped bone spike ninja tool and a black cat doll respectively, were now covered in wounds cut by wind blades, bleeding profusely, and their faces were as pale as paper.
Seeing that Hoshinomoto Chisaku was beginning to treat the wounded, Ebizo manipulated his spider puppet to slowly descend into the open space behind the Sunagakure team, and then released the restraints on the two Konoha ninjas.
Still shaken, the two looked at Ebizo, who nodded slightly, before hurriedly running back to their base.
"Senior Sakumo, should I send my shadow clone to treat the other two from Sunagakure?" Hoshigen Chisaku asked.
Sakumo Hatake pondered for a moment, then nodded in agreement.
Then, the shadow clone that had just treated Sakumo stepped out of the group and slowly walked towards the Sunagakure camp.
Several Sand Village ninjas stared indignantly at the approaching Hoshino Senju—fortunately, they knew it was just a shadow clone, and defeating it would be pointless.
"Lord Ebizo." The shadow clone, Senju, bowed slightly.
"Konoha truly produces a wealth of talent." Ebizo nodded in response, his tone gentle.
His calm demeanor and remarkably composed tone made it seem as if he were looking at an outstanding junior rather than an enemy.
The shadow clone, Senju, said no more, and first glanced at Rasa, who was standing quietly to the side.
The future fourth Kazekage had a solemn expression and his thoughts were unfathomable.
Name: Luo Sha
[Condition: Right chest cut by a sharp blade, lung injured]
Then, he looked at Yecang, who had been lifted to the ground and was lying down, unable to get up.
Her face was pale and her breath was weak, but she still clenched her teeth and did not utter a groan.
She was not unconscious at this moment, and knowing that it was the Konoha ninja who had injured her who had come to treat her, she had mixed feelings.
I wanted to open my eyes and glare angrily, but I felt powerless, so I simply closed my eyes and remained silent.
Name: Ye Cang
[Condition: Severe abdominal trauma, organ damage and displacement, internal bleeding]
Of the two, Ye Cang's injuries were clearly more severe.
The shadow clone, Qian Shuo, crouched down, forming hand seals, and a vibrant green light covered his palms.
Hemostasis, repositioning, and healing —
The pale moonlight filled the valley, and the mountain breeze carried the chill of the autumn night.
Whether from Konoha or Sunagakure, the ninjas on both sides remained silent, their gazes fixed on the emerald light emanating from the palms of the three shadow clones—a gentle, vibrant light that seemed to emanate warmth simply by looking at it.
Ebizo's eyes were as still as an ancient well. Sensing such pure Yang-attribute chakra up close, he was even more shocked. Compared to his rudimentary medical ninjutsu, it was worlds apart.
Xingyuan Qianshuo's treatment was quick. Even with an intentional slowdown, it was completed in just over four minutes.
Yekura had opened her eyes at some point, her gaze complex as she looked at the Konoha ninja who had first seriously injured her and then healed her.
Xingyuan Qianshuo met her gaze, a gentle and sincere smile appearing on his lips.
Ye Cang met his gaze for a moment, then looked away.
Xingyuan Qianshuo's smile wasn't due to lust, but because he had seen the system notification:
[You healed Yekura's severe abdominal injury, and have received the following reward: Bloodline Limit: Scorch Release (Proficient), Chakra +180]
After receiving the reward, he didn't linger and got up to walk towards Luo Sha.
Luo Sha remained expressionless, showing neither smile nor anger.
Xingyuan Qianshuo didn't care about his attitude, and the green light in his hand lit up again.
The treatment was completed three minutes later.
[You have healed Rasa's chest cut, and have received the following reward: Bloodline Limit: Magnet Release: Gold Sand (Proficient), Chakra +320]
congratulations!
Having acquired two bloodline limits in succession, the shadow clone Chisaku was overjoyed. Even while in the Sand Village's ranks, he couldn't help but show a delighted smile.
While this shadow clone was treating the wounded, the other two Sand Ninja had already been healed and returned to their team.
Xingyuan Qianshuo obtained "Puppet Technique: Bone-Splitting Centipede (Proficient), Chakra +50" and "Secret Technique: Puppet Imitation Technique (Proficient), Chakra +40" from them.
Perhaps healing enemies better embodies the "benevolence of a healer," as the system even rewarded the two unfamiliar ninjas with skills.
The reward for healing Hatake Sakumo was "Wind Body Flicker Technique (Mastery)," increasing his nerve reaction speed by 20%.
"Chakra +420".
After the treatment, the shadow clone did not dissipate or return; instead, it remained with the Sunagakure team.
"Lord Ebizo, a doctor's heart is benevolent, and saving lives is like putting out a fire. Now that the daimyo of the River Province is still seriously ill and unconscious, shouldn't we set off immediately?" The shadow clone, Sensaku, asked gently.
The Sand Village members, who had just felt a little relieved because their companion had been treated, fell silent again.
They never expected this Konoha ninja to be so "shameless" as to dare to stay.
"A doctor's heart is benevolent; these are very good words. Let us set off then," Ebizo replied calmly.
In the group, Rasa looked at Ebizo, hesitant to speak.
Ebizo simply shook his head slightly.
The shadow clone, Qian Shuo, took in the entire scene, a faint smile still on his face, but several thoughts were already running through his mind: "That Luo Sha guy—his mind is indeed sinister. He's only just recovered from his injuries, and he's already plotting to turn against me."
"Ebizo, on the other hand, was calm and rational enough. Seeing that his plan had failed, he knew that continuing the fight would only increase casualties, so he decided to cut his losses in time."
"Although Konoha initiated the peace talks, he probably already had the intention to stop the war when he captured two Konoha ninjas earlier."
As the shadow clone's mind and emotions fluctuated, Ebizo took out a scroll, formed hand seals, and retrieved the enormous spider puppet.
Upon closer inspection, the puppet is remarkably lifelike, resembling a real giant spider.
"Could this be a modified real spider?" the shadow clone thought to itself. "Sunagakure has a history of creating human puppets, so creating animal puppets seems quite reasonable."
Before he could think any further, Ebizo had already called the Sand Village members to head towards the capital of the Land of Rivers.
On the Konoha side, the ninjas who had just finished the battle breathed a sigh of relief.
Tsunade looked relaxed, her eyes filled with admiration as she gazed at Chisaku. She hadn't participated in the previous battle, only treating two poisoned Konoha ninjas.
This actually made things better. Seeing that Qian Shuo was strong and acted with composure, she felt more at ease.
"Senior Sakumo, my shadow clone is left with the Sunagakure team in case they change their minds," said Hoshigen Chisaku.
"Yes, that's much safer. Thank you for your hard work, Chisaku," Hatake Sakumo said with appreciation.
He had already spotted the Sand Village troops beginning their march. Resolving this mission through negotiations was already a rather good outcome.
Without Chisaku and Tsunade traveling together, he might have had no choice but to abandon the mission.
Immediately afterwards, Hatake Sakumo also called on the Konoha group to set off.
Under the moonlight, the two teams from Sunagakure and Konoha walked silently, one in front of the other, about fifty meters apart.
Intentionally or unintentionally, the Sand Village team slowed down to almost the pace of a normal person.
If the daimyo of the Land of Rivers can be delayed until his death, then the eldest son, Minamoto no Kō, who is currently in the palace, can directly request to succeed him, which would be more advantageous for Sunagakure.
Seeing this, the shadow clone Chisaku felt rather helpless. After a moment's thought, he said, "Lord Ebizo, traveling like this is too slow. Why don't you summon that giant spider, and we can ride it to the capital of the River Country?"
"I'm old. I used up too much chakra before, so I can't use it anymore," Ebizo said without batting an eye.
Shadow Clone Qian Shuo muttered to himself, "I don't believe you for a second. This old guy is shameless!"
He added, "Lord Ebizo, as a medical ninja, I cannot bear to see patients suffer. Even if someone from another village is injured, as long as it is not during a mission conflict or war, I am willing to help."
"The daimyo of the land of Kawano is currently suffering from illness, and as a physician, I am extremely anxious and wish I could fly to the capital immediately."
"How about I, a medical ninja from Konoha, go ahead and treat the Daimyo?"
The shadow clone, Chisaku, also made up a story in a serious manner, subtly mocking Ebizo by mentioning his recent treatment of the Sunagakure ninja.
Upon hearing this, Ebizo couldn't help but sigh inwardly: This young man is already well-versed in the "art of shamelessness" at such a young age, and his future is promising—but it's a pity he's a junior from Konoha.
Further delay is just a petty scheme; this kid might actually get there first, or even just send a shadow clone.
After a moment's thought, Ebizo urged the Sand Village members to speed up.
The Konoha team behind them had been muttering about the Sunagakure's slow pace, but when they saw the other side suddenly speed up, they hurriedly followed, though they didn't know why.
An hour later, around 8:30 p.m., the two teams could see the capital of the River Country.
Under the moonlight, the city was silent and dark, with only a few lights flickering.
Unlike Konoha, which has gradually been electrified, this place still mainly relies on oil lamps for lighting.
After nightfall, most families eat dinner early to save money, or chat in the dark, or rest early, as they still need to work hard to make a living the next day.
The arrival of the two groups aroused the vigilance of the night patrol. After a cautious search, they quickly let them pass.
Upon entering the capital, Ebizo made no attempt to conceal his presence, immediately ordering Rasa to lead a small team away from the main group.
"Is this to inform the eldest son of the daimyo, Genjuoka Hide?" The shadow clone, Senju, pondered to himself.
However, he still did not voluntarily dispel the shadow clones. As long as Sunagakure did not turn against him, he would continue to follow.
The Konoha team behind them also saw the Sunagakure squad leaving.
After a moment's thought, Hatake Sakumo ignored him and led the team onward.
