Chapter 249 Nagato Surgery

Orochimaru's laboratory.

After hearing Orochimaru's plan, Chiyo genuinely felt it was both simple and brutal.

However, Orochimaru said that this way they could extract a lot of experimental data, so Chiyo let him have his way.

Orochimaru summoned Kabuto Yakushi and Nono U to be his assistants.

They also called Mio (Karin's mother) over; she was a very important person.

Seeing Orochimaru inscribing a formation on the ground, Qianyao asked curiously, "Isn't this for healing? What kind of formation is this?"

Orochimaru answered while drawing, "This is a byproduct of reincarnation and reprinting."

"This formation can imprison the soul within the body for a period of time."

"To prevent Nagato from actually dying."

"I didn't expect you to be so thoughtful." Qian Yao was somewhat surprised.

After all, Orochimaru is a cold-blooded person.

Orochimaru simply stuck out his tongue and twirled it around, without saying anything.

After all, Nagato's eyes are the Rinnegan. If Nagato dies, many experiments will be impossible to conduct.

Moreover, once Nagato dies, it's uncertain who will be able to use the Rinnegan.

Therefore, from any perspective, Orochimaru would not let Nagato die.

While Orochimaru was drawing the array, Kabuto Yakushi took out two bottles of water.

One bottle was given to Mio, and the other to Nagato.

These two bottles of water are naturally the water of life.

Following Kabuto's instructions, Mio drank about a third of the liquid.

After drinking the Life-Stopping Water, Mio's body underwent a significant change.

Before Mio came to the Uchiha clan, she was basically half-dead.

After arriving here, although she survived thanks to the physique of the Uzumaki clan, the deficiencies from her early years still left Mio in poor health.

People with insufficient Qi and blood look like they haven't eaten or slept well.

This third of the water of life is poured down.

Mio's face quickly regained color, and her skin rapidly regained its elasticity.

Especially her hair, which gradually changed from light red to dark red.

Mio touched her face in disbelief, where a beautiful and youthful face was projected onto the machine next to her.

"Oh, am I getting younger?"

Her feeling of weakness vanished, and she radiated vitality.

As Kabuto recorded the changes in Mio's body, he said:

"You haven't gotten younger, this is how you are."

Mio stroked her smooth skin, feeling somewhat dazed, as all the teeth marks she had left behind had disappeared.

However, she was drained of her life force every day in Kusagakure, causing her to age drastically. Even after arriving in Uchiha, she could only stabilize her body.

She had forgotten that she was only 19 when she gave birth to Karin, and now that Karin is 10, she is only 29.

Mio's eyes were red, and tears instantly streamed down her face.

But these were tears of joy.

"Thank you, thank you, clan chief."

Mio thanked Chiyo incoherently.

Karin is Chiyo's apprentice, and Chiyo naturally treats Mio with kindness and gentleness.

"We're all family, no need to say thank you."

"You'll need to use your abilities to save this person; he's also one of your people."

Chiyo pointed at Nagato.

Mio nodded; Kabuto had already told her that. She glanced at the bottle in her hand.

Two-thirds of the liquid remained in the bottle, though she didn't know what it contained.

But it's clear that Qianyao is for her to recover her health.

After all, this tribesman has so many black rods stuck in his back, so the treatment he needs will be very intensive.

When she was asked to come today, she originally intended to repay Qianyao for taking her in over the years.

Unexpectedly, Qianyao restored her first before giving her treatment.

"Leave it to me, Chieftain. With me here, he'll be fine."

Chiyo nodded slightly. After all, Nagato had the Rinnegan, and his body couldn't be harmed. It wasn't just Orochimaru who was prepared.

He himself had made preparations for the worst.

Orochimaru had also finished drawing the formation, and then activated it.

Let Mio, Kabuto Yakushi, and Nono step forward.

Orochimaru pointed at the Water of Life in Nagato's hand:

"I will administer this to your body via intravenous drip."

"Because this surgery is special, it cannot be performed under anesthesia, so you will have to endure the pain."

"Mio, put your hand near Nagato's mouth. When I give the order in a moment, Nagato, you must immediately use Mio's ability to heal yourself, understand?"

Nagato, already aware of Mio's abilities, nodded in agreement.

"I see."

Nonou, who was standing next to Nagato, hung up an IV drip for him; the drip contained freshly diluted life-giving water.

Orochimaru had changed into his surgical gown, with Kabuto and Nono standing on either side to assist him.

"Lord Orochimaru, the Water of Life is already taking effect."

"Hmm..." Orochimaru glanced at the indicators on the instrument and methodically disinfected Nagato.

Then, taking the scalpel, he made a direct cut.

Nagato groaned, but Orochimaru showed no mercy, and Nagato was also in pain, his face covered in sweat.

Orochimaru, wielding a scalpel, sliced ​​through the skin and cut into the muscle layer.

Remove any body tissue adhering to the black rod.

With the help of the Water of Life, Nagato's body has been rapidly healing itself.

So Orochimaru acted very quickly, and in just half a minute, a black rod had been peeled off.

*Swoosh!* As Orochimaru tossed the black rod aside, a spurt of blood immediately gushed out.

Orochimaru calmly winked at Nono.

Nonou's hands glowed as she began to heal Nagato.

While repeatedly slicing open Nagato's restored body, Orochimaru took out one black rod after another.

It took about ten minutes to remove all the black rods.

Konan, standing on the outermost edge, looked at Nagato with concern.

She was very confused, but she couldn't help and could only watch helplessly.

After Orochimaru removed the black rod from Nagato's back, he cut Nagato's legs open.

This is the burn Nagato sustained when he was burned by Hanzo's exploding tag fire array.

Without treatment back then, and with Nagato's life force depleted, all the meridians inside him became twisted together.

Orochimaru roughly cut it all off and straightened it, giving instructions as he did so:

"Mio therapy".

At that moment, Mio shoved her hand directly into Nagato's mouth.

A healing power surged towards Nagato's feet.

Nagato was in so much pain that his face was covered in cold sweat, but after such a long surgery, his perception of pain had decreased a lot.

Moreover, the feeling in his feet stirred a certain flutter in Nagato's heart.

"Okay, Mio, let's stop for a moment."

Orochimaru winked at Chiyo: "Chiyo, come up and get ready."

"Hmm." Qianyao stood next to Nagato, runes already appearing on his hands.

He needs to remove Madara's talisman during the time Nagato is dead.
