On the ground, six injured Konoha ninja lay scattered, their wounds varying in severity.
Among them, one had suffered the most severe injury—an arm had been completely severed.
Fortunately, the limb had only been cut off by a Kumogakure Chūnin rather than destroyed. The detached arm had already been retrieved, aning it could be reattached.
That's right—he could now successfully reattach severed limbs.
Ignoring the others for the ti being, Seii approached the injured ninja. He first cleaned the wound, then picked up the severed arm and pressed it against the injury.
"Mm—"
Despite being unconscious—knocked out beforehand to prevent unnecessary pain—the Konoha Chūnin still let out a muffled groan.
Seii glanced at him to ensure he remained unconscious, then imdiately ford a hand seal, activating an A-rank dical ninjutsu—Mystical Palm Technique!
Thin, thread-like strands of Yang Release chakra erged from his hands, resembling serpents as they followed the pathways of the injured ninja's chakra network and seeped into his system.
Closing his eyes, Seii carefully guided the Yang Release chakra to the ninja's severed left arm, using his heightened perception to analyze the state of the chakra pathways.
Soon, a dense and intricate network—akin to a nervous system—appeared in his mind's eye. He could clearly "see" the severed pathways, fragnted and disordered.
If he were to simply reattach the arm without addressing these damaged chakra pathways, the limb would heal, but it would be useless—little more than decoration.
Since Seii intended to make a na for himself, he had no desire to do a half-baked job.
For nearly fifteen minutes, he ticulously examined and adjusted the severed chakra pathways. Then, he ford another set of hand seals and activated another dical ninjutsu—Delicate Illness Extraction Technique!
While this jutsu was primarily designed for toxin removal, dical ninjutsu required adaptability. Seii had previously used it for Byakugan transplants, so applying it to realign a damaged chakra network wasn't much of a stretch.
At its core, Delicate Illness Extraction Technique allowed for intricate, precise dical procedures, making it the perfect tool for this situation.
Before he knew it, another half-hour had passed.
By the ti the team responsible for pursuing the remaining Kumogakure forces returned, Seii had finally finished restructuring the severed chakra pathways.
Now, he only needed to stimulate regeneration.
For Seii, this final step was relatively simple.
Once again, he ford a hand seal and activated Mystical Palm Technique.
A surge of highly concentrated Yang Release chakra materialized in his hands before being directed into the ninja's body, aggressively stimulating the growth of new tissue at the severed area.
If one had the ability to see inside the patient's body, they would witness the broken chakra pathways on either side of the severed arm rapidly growing and reconnecting.
Monts later, the process was complete.
Now, the reattached limb looked entirely natural—aside from appearing slightly thinner than before, there was no visible sign of the previous amputation.
"Whew—"
Letting out a soft breath, Seii finally opened his eyes.
A flicker of exhaustion crossed his gaze.
Even for him, such a procedure was no simple feat.
If not for the fact that both his Mystical Palm Technique and Delicate Illness Extraction Technique were mastered to perfection, and that he had recently imrsed himself in studying human anatomy to further refine his healing abilities...
If not for his chakra control, which had reached Level 6 (peak), approaching Level 7, granting him an extraordinary degree of precision...
And if not for his 22-point ntal Strength attribute, which played an indispensable role...
Then performing this surgery would have been impossible.
Even Tsunade, renowned as the greatest dical ninja, would not have been able to accomplish this procedure using the sa thod.
While she could certainly reattach a severed limb, her approach would be entirely different. The sa applied to Orochimaru and others with high-level dical expertise.
This was a skill unique to Seii alone.
That said, he had still concealed so of his true abilities.
For instance, his Mangekyō Sharingan had granted him a special ocular technique—**"Man of Dominion"**—which allowed him to exert complete control over his own body.
This power enabled him to manipulate every aspect of himself, from organs and tissues down to individual cells and consciousness.
Initially, he had assud this ability could only be applied to himself.
But as his Mangekyō Sharingan continued evolving, he discovered that it could also influence others—albeit at a slightly reduced effectiveness.
With this power combined with his perfected Mystical Palm Technique, reattaching a severed limb was trivial.
Unfortunately, this ability was not sothing he could reveal to others, forcing him to use a more conventional approach instead.
Even so, what he considered a "clumsy thod" was nothing short of miraculous in the eyes of onlookers.
They had just watched a severed arm go from detached to fully functional before their very eyes.
Their expressions were filled with nothing but astonishnt.
As they turned their gazes toward Seii, a mixture of admiration and reverence filled their eyes.
After all, on the battlefield, no one was immune to injury.
With a dical ninja of Seii's caliber present, their chances of survival increased dramatically.
How could they not revere him?
And this was precisely the outco Seii had intended.
By demonstrating his value, he ensured that others would be reluctant to move against him.
Moreover, when trouble arose, those with vested interests in his survival would be less likely to remain silent.
While this political maneuvering didn't an much to him personally, it certainly spared him unnecessary complications.
Thus, he didn't mind spending the extra ti on this.
"Captain, did it work?"
A voice broke through Seii's thoughts.
One of the Konoha Chūnin—his tone slightly anxious—stepped forward.
Seii glanced at him and quickly recalled his background.
He and the injured ninja had been comrades since their Genin days—no wonder he was so concerned.
Nodding, Seii replied, "The arm has been successfully reattached. Avoid any strenuous movents for a month, and after that, he'll be fine."
Upon hearing this, the Chūnin's face lit up with gratitude, and he bowed deeply.
"Thank you, Captain!"
Seii rely nodded before turning to treat the remaining injured.
As for the outco of the pursuit against the Kumogakure remnants, he didn't bother asking.
The expressions on the returning ninja's faces already confird their success.
Even without that, Seii could have predicted the result—after all, the Konoha pursuit team was led by Jōnin, while the escaping Kumogakure ninja were rely Chūnin.
Under such circumstances, unless an external force intervened, there was no way they could have failed.
And external forces…
Seii had already scouted the area beforehand.
There was no one else around.
Victory was inevitable.
So why waste ti asking unnecessary questions?
