Chapter 37 Serving Minato While He Sleeps
The battle that took place on the border did not disrupt the peaceful life of Konoha Village.
In the consultation room, Xingyuan Qianshuo maintained a pleasant mood throughout the afternoon.
Although Tsunade no longer allowed him to hold hands when they left the reservoir, this did not affect his mood.
They are currently in the early stages of developing feelings for each other, but their relationship is not yet fully established.
Given Tsunade's sensitive and fragile mental state, Hoshino Senju could not launch an overly aggressive offensive.
However, once it happens the first time, it will happen again, and then...
As he was about to leave work, he was preparing to invite Tsunade to dinner when Snake Ci came to inform him of an urgent medical mission.
Hoshigen Chisaku followed Snake Ci to the No. 2 centralized treatment room and saw Teacher Biwako, Senior Mutsuki, Skui, and Takemaru.
On the hospital bed next to him lay a ninja with his right thigh wrapped in bandages and a haggard face.
Xingyuan Qianshuo bowed to Teacher Biwahu, and then nodded to the others.
Since they were already familiar with each other, they skipped the formalities.
He didn't interact much with Takemaru. Takemaru was the same age as Skui, only 15 years old. Although he had great talent as a medical ninja, he was introverted and not good at speaking.
Seeing that everyone had arrived, Biwako spoke up, "This is Jonin Mimura Yomaki."
"Thank you all for your help," Ye Juan said weakly.
Biwako nodded slightly, her expression serious, and said:
"Ye Juan's right leg was pierced by an Earth Release ninjutsu."
"Hushan has conducted a preliminary examination and cleaned the wound. The puncture was performed at an upward angle, with a depth of about 15 centimeters. Multiple internal tissue structures were damaged."
"If only the Palm Healing Technique is used for treatment, it will be difficult to fully recover, and it will affect his future leg strength."
While Teacher Biwako was describing the injuries, Xingyuan Qianshuo also quietly used the system to investigate.
【Name: Mimura Yomi】
[Condition: Right leg puncture wound, 15 cm deep, with severe tearing at the incision site. Significant damage to leg muscles, tendons, nerves, and bones. Damage to a branch of the femoral artery. Bleeding has stopped.]
The system's information was basically consistent with the description of Biwa Lake. Xingyuan Qianshuo glanced at it and then continued listening.
Biwako continued:
"I've decided to use the 'Healing and Regeneration Technique' to heal Leaf Roll's wounds this time."
"Perfect timing, your skill level has reached the point where you can learn this ninjutsu."
"Currently, only Hushan has experience. Hushan, could you please provide guidance on the precautions?"
Mutual kindness senior is a 23-year-old medical jonin, whose experience far surpasses that of the juniors present.
The group listened attentively to his instructions.
The "Art of Healing and Regeneration" is rated as difficult (Level A), but it is not that difficult for every participant.
This time, all they need to do is use the existing techniques, continuously output Yang attribute chakra under the guidance of Biwako-sensei, and follow her instructions for precise control.
This was of moderate difficulty for the medical ninjas present; the key was to cooperate with each other and control the proportion of different tissue cells during wound regeneration.
When treating severe injuries, this technique takes an extremely long time and requires multiple medical ninjas to take turns performing it.
However, Mimura Yoru's injuries were relatively simple, and the group of them could handle it.
With Biwako-sensei's mastery of the Palm Healing Technique, she could easily treat Jonin Yoru-no-Kami on her own.
Her move was more about taking the opportunity to let the people present participate in and become familiar with the "art of healing and regeneration," with the intention of cultivating and training the next generation.
After the explanation was completed, Teacher Biwako arranged for Jonin Yoru to be transferred to the No. 7 centralized treatment room—where the special "Healing and Regeneration Technique" formula was drawn.
On the way, they happened to encounter Minato Namikaze, who had come to visit Ye Juan's injuries.
Minato looked travel-worn and exhausted, as if he had just gone through several fierce battles and his body was completely drained, and he could collapse at any moment.
Unaware of the situation, Hoshino Senju felt a surge of joy upon seeing the future Fourth Hokage, instinctively thinking, "Could it be that Minato is also injured and needs treatment?"
Upon arriving, Minato inquired of Sarutobi Biwako, "Lord Biwako, how is Jonin Yoru's injury?"
"Minato, don't worry. Yoru's injuries aren't too serious; she'll heal quickly."
Biwako replied gently, her tone full of an elder's concern for an outstanding junior, "You've had a long journey, go back and rest. Choza has Tsunade to treat him, so you can rest assured."
Upon hearing this, Hoshino Chisaku deduced that it was Minato who brought Yoru and Choza to Konoha Hospital.
Both were injured, and Choza was being treated by Tsunade.
He couldn't help but worry about Tsunade, after all, she had hemophobia.
But then I thought about Professor Biwako's arrangements, and it should be fine.
The thought flashed through his mind, but his attention returned to Minato in front of him, and he used the system to investigate almost instinctively.
[Name: Minato Namikaze]
[Condition: Muscle strain, with strain in multiple muscles including the legs, arms, shoulders, and back]
"Huh, there really is an illness?" Hoshino Senju was secretly surprised.
For ninjas who possess chakra, the daily training volume is enormous, and ordinary fatigue can be recovered after rest, usually not constituting an "illness".
Minato Namikaze is currently showing signs of muscle strain, indicating that he has been far beyond his limits.
The number of medical ninjas in Konoha Village is limited, and the number of Jonin who have mastered advanced medical ninjutsu is even smaller.
During peacetime, no medical personnel are permanently stationed at the border.
After consulting with the current border defense commander, Minato Namikaze ordered Shikaku, Inoichi, and their two teammates to continue patrol duties.
He took Leaf Roll and Choza and rushed back to Konoha at full speed to treat them.
The "Flying Thunder God Technique" has no distance limit in theory, but its actual use is limited by the user's chakra reserves and their ability to perceive the technique's markings.
With Minato's current chakra reserves and jutsu proficiency, he is not yet able to sustain long-distance teleportation with two people.
He used the Shadow Clone Technique, with his main body and a shadow clone carrying Choza and Yejuan respectively, and traveled swiftly for half a day, returning to Konoha Village from the northwestern border of the Land of Fire.
Such intensity was beyond his physical limits, and he had to rely entirely on his mental will to sustain it.
Upon hearing Biwako's assurance, Minato felt a sense of relief, and his exhausted body swayed precariously.
Xingyuan Qianshuo quickly stepped forward to support him and said to Biwako, "Teacher, Minato is extremely tired. I'll take him to the inpatient department to rest first."
"Okay, that's fine." Biwako nodded in agreement.
"Thank you, uh—" Minato wanted to express his gratitude, but he didn't know the other person's name.
"My name is Xingyuan Qianshuo."
"Thank you, Dr. Xingyuan," Minato continued to express his gratitude.
"Just call me Qian Shuo." Xingyuan Qian Shuo said as he helped Shuimen walk towards the inpatient department.
Muscle strain can be relieved through stretching, massage, and warm water baths.
Of course, for Minato at this moment, the best way to recover is through sleep.
On the way to the ward, Xingyuan Qianshuo thoughtfully asked Shuimen if he was hungry or thirsty.
I learned that he had taken some military rations and was not hungry, only a little thirsty.
After placing Shuimen on an empty hospital bed, Xingyuan Qianshuo turned to pour warm water.
Upon returning, they found that Minato had fallen into a deep sleep.
He placed the water glass on the bedside table, silently observing the blond boy, who was about his age, and pondered to himself:
"Could ten of me, even if we all attacked together, defeat the Water Gate?"
"I'm afraid that still won't work; I might get instantly killed."
"With the Flying Thunder God Technique combined with his superhuman reflexes, dealing with ordinary ninjas is like cutting melons and vegetables; it can't be compensated for by sheer numbers."
As he drifted off into thought, he thoughtfully drew the curtain between the hospital beds, gently closed the door, and left.
He secretly hoped that the system would reward him after he rested and recovered.
Just after he left the ward, Minato, who had been fast asleep, slowly opened his eyes.
Even though he was extremely exhausted, he still woke up alertly when Xingyuan Qianshuo approached the hospital bed.
He propped himself up, drank a few sips of warm water from the bedside table, and lay down again.
Within ten seconds, it fell asleep again.
