Chapter 89 Healing Vortex Kana
Chapter 89 Healing Vortex Kana
The corridors of Yunjuan Hot Spring Inn are covered with thick tatami mats, making it silent underfoot.
But for Tsunade, every step was exceptionally heavy.
She carried the deposit given to her by Nishikawa Tetsuya in her arms; it was a heavy silver note, and also the shackle that bound her to her promise to save people.
As she got closer to the room, her breathing became rapid, and fine beads of cold sweat appeared on her forehead.
"Hey, kid."
Tsunade suddenly stopped and grabbed Nishikawa Tetsu's shoulder, her nails almost digging into his flesh.
"Are you sure...that patient just has organ failure? No external injuries? No...bleeding?"
Her voice trembled, and her once unwavering hands were now icy cold.
Shizune watched Tsunade with concern, while the little pig in her arms, Tonton, sensed the oppressive atmosphere and dared not make a sound.
"I assure you, Lady Tsunade."
Nishikawa Tetsu stopped and looked at her calmly, his eyes carrying a soothing power.
"The patient was weak due to extreme hunger and illness. There were no open wounds and not a drop of blood was outside. I have cleaned the scene very thoroughly."
Upon hearing this, Tsunade's tense shoulders relaxed slightly.
"That's good...that's good."
She took a deep breath, pulled out a flask from her bosom, and took a big gulp, using the numbing effect of the alcohol to suppress the fear in her heart. Then she slapped her cheeks hard, forcing herself to get into the zone.
"Lead the way."
……
As I pushed open the door, a faint smell of medicine and the aroma of hot porridge wafted out.
Mizuki Uzumaki was standing guard by the bedside. Upon hearing the noise, she jumped up like a startled fawn and protectively shielded her younger sister. But when she saw Toru Nishikawa, her tense nerves relaxed.
"Che-jun..."
Tsunade ignored Mizuki; her gaze immediately fell on the small figure on the bed.
There was no blood.
There were only clean bedding and a little girl who was so thin she looked unrecognizable and had a pale face.
Tsunade breathed a long sigh of relief; the urge to run away at any moment had finally dissipated.
She strode to the bedside, about to reach out and check, when her gaze suddenly froze on the girl's dry yet still striking red hair.
"That hair color..."
Tsunade's hand froze in mid-air, a hint of surprise and nostalgia flashing in her eyes.
She turned to look at Mizuki next to her, who also had red hair.
"The Uzumaki clan?"
Tsunade's voice became somewhat hoarse as she thought of her grandmother, Mito Uzumaki, who was now in her twilight years and far away in Konoha.
Those were some of her few remaining relatives in the world, and these two children were actually her relatives?
"Yes, Lady Tsunade."
Nishikawa Tetsu added at the opportune moment.
"They are orphans who wandered from the ruins of the Land of Whirlpools, and they are the people I must save this time."
Tsunade remained silent.
The perfunctory attitude that was originally just for money completely disappeared at this moment.
Instead, there is a sense of responsibility as a descendant of the Senju clan and as a medical ninja.
"Get out of the way."
Tsunade's voice regained its usual competence and authority.
She sat on the edge of the bed, her hands glowing with emerald green chakra, and gently placed them on Kana's chest.
Chakra seeped in like silk, like a finely woven net, instantly scanning the girl's entire body.
A few minutes later, Tsunade withdrew her hand, her brows furrowed.
"The situation is worse than I imagined."
Tsunade looked at Nishikawa Tetsuya, her tone serious: "While your previous emergency treatment saved her life, many of her organs are on the verge of collapse. Ordinary medical ninjutsu can only repair the surface; it cannot revive the functions of the already damaged cells. If this continues, she will at best live like a vegetable."
"What should we do?" Mizuki was so anxious she was about to cry.
"Don't rush."
Tsunade stood up and paced back and forth in the room, her mind racing.
"For an ordinary person, this level of exhaustion would be enough to prepare for the afterlife, but..."
She looked intently at Chanel on the bed.
"She is from the Uzumaki clan, a clan whose members possess life force that is unimaginable to ordinary people, which gives us an opportunity for radical treatment."
Tsunade turned around and looked at Nishikawa Tetsu with sharp eyes:
"I'm going to use a special technique."
"By simulating the principle of 'creation and regeneration,' and using high-intensity Yang Release chakra, we forcibly activated the dormant cells in her body to undergo rapid division."
"This will deplete a portion of her future vitality and may even shorten her lifespan. But it is the only way to regenerate her necrotic internal organs in a short period of time."
Creation and regeneration.
That was Tsunade's S-rank forbidden technique, and also the core of her Hundred Healings Technique.
Nishikawa Tetsuya was startled.
He never expected that Tsunade would be willing to use such a high level of medical ninjutsu for a complete stranger.
"She's from the Uzumaki clan, so her lifespan is naturally longer than average," Nishikawa Tetsu calmly analyzed. "Living a few years less is better than dying now. This is a very worthwhile trade, don't you think?"
He turned to look at Mizuki Uzumaki, who, in principle, was the "guardian" of Kana Uzumaki, a child who looked even younger than himself.
Mizuki nodded nervously. As long as she could survive, she could worry about the future later.
"it is good."
Tsunade no longer hesitated.
She rolled up her sleeves, formed a complex hand seal, and then pressed it heavily onto Kana's abdomen.
It didn't have the earth-shattering impact I had imagined.
Only a vast, heart-stopping surge of chakra, like a gentle tide, continuously flowed into Kana's withered body.
The green light was grand and dazzling, illuminating the entire room.
In that light, Chanel's originally ashen skin began to regain its rosy color at a visible speed, her weak breathing gradually became stronger, and even her shriveled cheeks puffed up a little.
That was a miracle of life.
Ten minutes later.
The light dissipated.
Tsunade swayed weakly, her forehead covered in sweat, and Shizune quickly stepped forward to support her.
Although Chanel was still fast asleep on the bed, her chest rose and fell steadily and powerfully, and color finally returned to her face.
"alright."
Tsunade wiped her sweat, looked at Kana, and a relieved smile appeared on her face.
"With just another half month of rest and some good nutrition, he'll be back to his old self."
"Thank you! Thank you so much!"
Mizuki knelt on the ground, sobbing uncontrollably, and kept kowtowing to Tsunade.
"Alright, alright, stop kowtowing." Tsunade waved her hand impatiently, but the smile in her eyes was impossible to hide.
Nishikawa Tetsu stood aside, quietly watching this scene.
He saw the light in Tsunade's eyes.
That's the sense of accomplishment a doctor feels when saving a patient's life, and the satisfaction of seeing a patient saved.
"Lady Tsunade, your medical skills are truly the best in the ninja world."
Nishikawa Tetsu handed over a hot towel, his tone sincere.
"Hmph, do you even need to tell me?" Tsunade arrogantly raised her chin, took the towel, and wiped her face.
"I've already taken the money and saved the person, so we're even."
"Even if we settle accounts?"
Nishikawa Tetsu silently said in his heart:
"No, Lady Tsunade. The deal has only just begun."
"To thank you for saving Kana's life, and also for the sake of the Yin Seal's principle..."
Nishikawa Tetsu looked at Tsunade's relaxed expression, which showed no signs of bloodshed, and a subtle smile appeared on his lips.
"Now, I'll help you overcome your hemophobia."
"After all, I'm someone who believes in equal exchange."
