Chapter 259.1: Recuperating From Injuries, Unexpected Joy
The Cloud ninjas retreated slowly under Sandai Raikage’s orders. Soon after that, Namikaze Minato signaled a few Leaf jonin he was familiar with. Taking the hint, these jonin surrounded them while cheering loudly and encircling Uchiha Tonan in the center.
By this ti, Tonan seed to be unable to hold on any longer. He staggered and fell to the ground. Then he spat out a lot of blood as if it cost no money. Minato stretched out his hand to support him and said in a low voice, “Tonan, you must hold on. The dical squad is coming.”
Several jonin from the dical squad rushed into the crowd and ca to Tonan’s side. Then they took out dical instrunts one by one from the storage scroll and began to examine different aspects of his condition.
Tonan secretly used Soft Physique Modification to change the positions of his internal organs and bones, and then said with a frail look, “You all don’t need to worry, I’ll be fine after resting for a while.”
Uzumaki Kushina frowned and said, “Tonan, don’t talk, just close your eyes and rest, alright?” She then turned to the dical ninjas and asked in a deeply concerned voice, “How is it? Is it serious?”
At this mont, the dical ninjas who were in charge of examining Tonan had ghastly expressions. One of the dical-nin said, “Squad leader, the initial examination shows that his internal organs have shifted.”
Another one added, “His blood is flowing in reverse.”
“His bones and joints are also misaligned.”
“His heartbeat rate is low, blood pressure is low, and his respiratory rate is also insufficient.”
The surrounding Leaf ninjas inhaled a mouthful of cold air hearing the dical ninjas’ reports.
“Are his injuries this serious?”
“You all must save Tonan.”
A Leaf ninja who was standing outside the encirclent recalled how he had misunderstood Tonan just a mont ago. He slapped himself hard and with tears overflowing from his eyes, he said, “I’m truly not human.”
The dical squad leader frowned and instructed, “We must operate imdiately. Inject the anesthesia.” The dical ninja in charge of anesthesia ca over with a syringe and stabbed Tonan’s arm. However, the needle didn’t pierce through Tonan’s skin no matter how he tried.
Looking at that dical-nin in charge of anesthesia trying hard for a long ti with his forehead full of sweat, Minato asked with confusion, “What’s wrong?”
That dical-nin answered anxiously, “His skin is too hard. The needle can’t pierce through it.”
The dical squad leader was startled to hear his subordinate’s words. He frowned and asked, “Did he temper his skin to this point? It seems we can’t use anesthesia, so we can only use a chakra scalpel to perform the surgery directly without anesthesia.”
After speaking, the dical squad leader extended his hands and stroked Tonan’s abdon. However, in the next mont, a very serious look appeared on his face. He raised his head to look at Minato and said, “The chakra scalpel doesn’t work either. We are completely powerless to do anything like this.”
Tonan naturally wouldn’t let other people do as they please with his body. Even in front of so many people, what if anyone among these harbored ill intentions? As the saying goes, one should be prepared for unexpected situations. In this world, other than himself, Tonan didn’t believe in anyone else at all.
He coughed heavily and weakly waved his hand. “Don’t worry, I have so dical ninjutsu knowledge as well. I’ll be fine as long as I recuperate for a while. It’s not the first ti that I have suffered this kind of minor injury. I have a lot of experience. I’ll be fine after so ti.”
Tonan had structured his sentence with much thought. He subtly revealed that he had been seriously injured more than once for Konoha. In an instant, his image grew a bit bigger in the hearts of the Leaf ninjas.
Hearing his words, the dical squad leader sighed and nodded his head. He said, “Alright then, I’ll prescribe so dicines for you to nourish your body.”
Minato reached out his hands to hug Tonan on seeing the situation and softly said, “I’ll take you to the command tent to rest.” After speaking, he used the Body Flicker Technique and headed toward the Leaf base camp.
Kushina, Uchiha Obito, Hatake Kakashi, and Nohara Rin followed them. As for the other Leaf ninjas, under the advice of their respective leaders, they continued to carry out post-war missions.
Perhaps, it was because Tonan defeated Sandai Raikage on the battlefield, Kumo’s morale was greatly reduced. The Cloud ninjas continued to retreat from the Land of Hot Water for more than half a month and they didn’t engage in squad battles with the Leaf ninjas either.
In just this fashion, Konoha successfully regained the battlefront of the Land of Hot Water. After this, the battle situation of the two sides returned to how it used to be at the beginning of the war. At this ti, Suna too had already declared its withdrawal from the Third Great Ninja War because it had lost most of its combat power. Suna had already dispatched envoys to have peace talks with Konoha and sign a new treaty.
Tonan pretended to be injured and recuperated for a long ti. When he noticed that it was almost ti, he told Minato and the others that his injuries had already healed completely. This made Minato and everyone else as well sigh in relief.
