Chapter 245: How a Ninja World Doctor Handles a Medical Dispute Incident (Part 2)
However, the moment the green light approached the Heavenly Spin, it split into two halves, flying past Neji's defense. Its target was very clear: Shion, who was being protected by the group.
Sasuke, seeing this from the rear, immediately looked at one of the green lights with his left eye. The Mangekyo Sharingan pattern spun, and a bloody tear flowed from the corner of his eye.
On the stream of light that Sasuke was staring at, a jet-black bolt of lightning suddenly appeared, completely annihilating it in an instant.
Subsequently, Sasuke looked to the other side, intending to do it again. However, this time, Sasuke felt a sharp pain in his left eye socket, and his vision became blurry at that moment. The chakra pathways in his body also warned Sasuke with pain.
Sasuke's reaction was half a beat slow under this sudden sharp pain. And in just that short moment, the green light had already reached Shion.
At this very moment, Taruho directly pushed Shion away, using his own body to meet the green light.
...
When Neji helped Sasuke back to the group, this was the scene they saw. Shion was squatting to the side with vacant eyes, constantly muttering to herself, while the others were gathered around Taruho, who had taken the fatal sneak attack for Shion.
At this moment, the entire right half of Taruho's body was covered in a faint green light, and his face was constantly contorted in pain.
"How is he?" Sasuke, being supported by Neji, asked hurriedly.
"He's still alive, but his life force is already quite weak. I've sustained his life with my chakra," Sakura said. "The situation is urgent. Let's operate right here."
"It's useless..." Shion's muttering reached everyone's ears at this moment. "Those whose deaths are foreseen can never escape their predetermined fate."
Everyone frowned slightly upon hearing this, but right now, saving Taruho, who still had a trace of life, was the top priority, so they simply ignored her.
After checking Taruho's physical condition with her chakra, Sakura's brain operated at high speed, and she quickly formulated a treatment plan.
"His symptoms are very similar to a chakra-targeting poison I've seen in medical books. The poison in the book only targets ninjas with chakra. The more chakra the poisoned person has, the more severe the symptoms will be. On the contrary, for civilians without chakra, this poison is useless. The poison currently acting in his body targets a rather special energy; its target is not chakra, but some kind of energy within his body," Sakura analyzed calmly.
"So, Karin, in a moment I will force out a little of this poison. You try to see if you can create a seal that targets this poison and the energy it acts upon. Then, I will cut open the blood vessels on his right side, and you try to use a sealing jutsu to cooperate with me in extracting and sealing the poison."
"Okay, I'll try," Karin nodded.
"Why, why does everyone have to die for me? This ability..." Shion's muttering reached everyone's ears.
Sakura, who had just finished anesthetizing Taruho and was condensing a chakra scalpel in her hand, showed a few traces of displeasure on her face upon hearing this.
"It's useless. The only way to break the prophecy is for me to die myself..." Shion, leaning against a tree, muttered to herself with vacant eyes.
The chakra scalpel in Sakura's hand first trembled, then directly dissipated. As everyone knows, when a person is concentrating on one thing, if someone next to them is constantly releasing negative energy, it becomes very difficult to concentrate.
And at times like these, people tend to become more irritable.
"Someone, go and make that person shut up for me!" Sakura turned her head, a vein popping on her forehead, and then roared at Shion.
The doctors of the ninja world would not tolerate this kind of medical dispute troublemaker. If this were in Konoha's hospital, Shion would have been thrown out the moment she opened her mouth.
Neji at this point also walked up to Shion with a dark face.
Although Neji really wanted to give this person a good punch or two right now—after all, if the information she had given had been even slightly more useful, they wouldn't have had such a difficult time facing the attacking enemies, and Sasuke's consumption wouldn't have been so great. Neji knew what the cost of using the Mangekyo Sharingan's dōjutsu was—but out of basic courtesy from a ninja to a client, he still maintained the most basic etiquette and reminded her in a low voice, "Miss Miko, could I please ask you to be quiet and not disturb your guard's surgery?"
"My ability... rather than a prophecy, I think it's more like a curse..." Shion, facing Neji who had already come before her, still showed no reaction and continued to mutter to herself.
Seeing this, Neji didn't hold back any longer and directly knocked Shion out with a chop of his hand.
"Finally, some quiet," Sakura took a deep breath, re-condensed the chakra scalpel, and after a simple disinfection, began the surgery right there in the wild.
...
Land of Wind.
Naruto took the unconscious Gaara and found a place to set up camp. After saying goodbye to Temari and the others, Gaara slept for a whole day.
It wasn't until Naruto started a fire in the evening that Gaara slowly woke up.
Perhaps because he had slept enough, this time after Gaara woke up, he did not show much aggression. Instead, he sat up with some bewilderment and looked at Naruto, who was busy by the bonfire.
"You're awake?" Hearing the movement from Gaara's side, Naruto also turned his head to look at him, then threw the water pouch from his body over.
"Who are you? And where is this?" After taking the water pouch, Gaara took a big gulp, his brain slowly booting up.
"My name is Uzumaki Naruto. Your sister asked me to take care of you for a while. As for where this is, I don't really know either. But we should be close to the western border of the Land of Wind by now," Naruto said with a bright laugh.
"Brat, kill him!" In Gaara's seal space, Shukaku began to roar again.
Influenced by Shukaku, the killing intent on Gaara's body slowly began to gather again.
"You'd better calm down, or I'll have to use my fists to reason with you. Big Brother Kurama inside me has been wanting me to beat you up," Naruto said with a frown, sensing Gaara's killing intent.
However, at this time, the killing intent on Gaara's body grew stronger and stronger.
"Big Brother Kurama, can you take me into this guy's seal space to have a look?" Naruto asked with a frown at this time.
In the next instant, Naruto's consciousness shifted, and he arrived in a dark space. The Nine-Tails and Shukaku were facing each other across the seal, and Naruto also saw the figure of Gaara not far in front of him, beneath a huge fat tanuki.
"Stinking fox! Who let you in!" The moment the fat tanuki saw the Nine-Tails' figure, the hair made of sand stood on end, and it bared its teeth at the Nine-Tails.
"Hmph, do I need your permission to go wherever I want? You weakling with only one tail," the Nine-Tails said with a sneer.
"Damn you, stinking fox! Brat, kill the person in front of you for me! My power will be yours to use from now on! I won't interfere with your rest either!" Shukaku shouted at Gaara at this time.
However, after Gaara entered this space, he stared deadly at Naruto.
"Are you... the same as me?" Gaara looked at the Nine-Tails behind Naruto, then at Naruto, and the killing intent on his body receded like a tide.
"Yes, I'm also a Jinchuriki," Naruto said with a smile.
"Are you also... a weapon?" Gaara said.
"A weapon? Why do you say that?" Naruto was stunned upon hearing Gaara's words.
"Someone once told me that the meaning of my existence is to be a weapon to eliminate the village's enemies. Are you like that too?" Gaara muttered to himself.
"Which bastard told you that?" Naruto's brows furrowed tightly upon hearing this. He finally understood why among all the Jinchuriki he knew, this guy was the least like a normal person. The education he received was not that of a normal person. What kind of good person would tell a child that the meaning of his existence is to be the village's weapon?
"My father," Gaara said.
"Huh?" Naruto's mouth fell open upon hearing this. Although Naruto had only met his father once in the Nine-Tails' seal space half a year ago, in that short half an hour, the Fourth had left a deep impression on Naruto. Even though the time they met was short, Naruto could deeply feel that although his parents were not by his side since he was a child, they absolutely loved him.
But he had not expected that, also a Jinchuriki, the father of this boy of similar age to him was instilling such thoughts in him.
"Where is he? I have to teach him a good lesson," Naruto said.
"I killed him," Gaara said coldly.
"Oh, then it's fine," Naruto said with a nod.
"You... aren't you a weapon?" Gaara asked in a daze at this time. Although it was only a short contact, the feeling Naruto's chakra gave him was incomparably warm. He found it hard to imagine that the other's identity was the same as his, a Jinchuriki.
"How could I possibly be a weapon?" Naruto laughed and scratched his head, then he reacted and asked, "By the way, what about your mother? With your dad treating you like this, did your mother have no objections?"
"My mother... died when I was born," Gaara's head drooped.
"Uh... sorry about that," Naruto said.
"What are you wasting your breath on him for! Hurry up and kill him!" Seeing the two chatting, Shukaku couldn't help but roar at Gaara.
"Big Brother Kurama, can you make this stinking tanuki quiet down a bit! He's really noisy," Naruto said, turning back to the Nine-Tails.
The Nine-Tails slowly got up at this time, cracked its knuckles, and showed Shukaku a rather cruel smile.
And Shukaku, upon seeing this smile, immediately arched its back and entered its spiny dragon form. From childhood to adulthood, it had seen this smile of the Nine-Tails countless times. Every time Shukaku saw this smile, it meant it was about to get a beating.
"Stinking fox! Have you submitted to humans?" Shukaku roared loudly.
"Submitted? Didn't you hear what this kid called me?" The Nine-Tails said with a cold laugh as it walked towards Shukaku. "Daring to bare your teeth at my little brother, you probably haven't been beaten enough."
"Don't come over here!" Seeing this, Shukaku's hair stood on end. Before, outside, the Nine-Tails' power couldn't be fully exerted due to the seal. But even so, the Nine-Tails using its Jinchuriki's body could still give him a good thrashing. Now, in this space, the full strength of the Nine-Tails was not something he could deal with at his current level, unless his own Jinchuriki brat killed the other's Jinchuriki. Otherwise, he had no chance of winning at all.
But at this moment, his own Jinchuriki was actually chatting with the stinking fox's Jinchuriki!
The Nine-Tails dragged its exclusive punching bag to the side. Screams came from this space from time to time. This also made a strange expression appear on Gaara's face. After all, the monster in his body had always been a terrifying existence. But now, as a Jinchuriki, he was sensing fear from Shukaku.
[Do Tailed Beasts also have things they are afraid of?] Gaara couldn't help but think to himself, looking at the Shukaku being whipped like a spinning top not far away.
"It's alright, no one is disturbing us now. Let's have a good chat," Naruto said.
"What do you want to talk to me about?" Gaara asked.
"Talk about your experiences. I promised your sister I would teach you how to control your emotions. I have to know what you've been through, right?" Naruto said with a shrug.
"My experiences?" Gaara took a deep breath, and then began to recount his life from childhood, from being hated by the villagers to his father, the Fourth Kazekage, constantly assassinating him to test his qualifications as a weapon.
It wasn't until he had finished recounting the events of his nearly 13 years of life that Gaara stopped. Gaara himself had not expected that one day he would be able to speak calmly with someone for so long.
"Your dad really is a bastard," after hearing about Gaara's experiences, Naruto couldn't help but say again. "And the people in your village. So it turns out that the troublesome civilians in every ninja village are all the same."
"These... have you experienced them too?" Gaara asked.
"Uh, my parents also died when I was born," Naruto said, scratching his head. "But I also grew up under the strange gazes of the people in the village when I was a child. But later I met many comrades, so I didn't care much about this kind of thing anymore. And, I'm the young master of our village's Guard Unit Chief's family, the head of the Uzumaki clan. Even if those people don't like me, they can only hold it in."
"Is that so? That's really nice," a look of envy instantly appeared on Gaara's face after hearing Naruto's words.
"Why are you looking at me like that? There are also people around you who care about you very much," Naruto said.
