Chapter 140: Medical Ninjutsu!

Tonari shook off the hand gripping his collar. His other hand still held the scalpel embedded in the patient's heart.

In a firm voice, he said, "If you want him to live, then shut up!"

Naka Anzu froze, realizing her mistake. Interrupting a medical ninja during a treatment process was a serious breach of etiquette.

She noticed faint, thread-like electric currents running from Tonari's hand through the scalpel and into the patient's heart. The current was weak but precisely controlled.

At the same time, a trickle of dark purple blood oozed out from where the scalpel met the chest.

"Anzu, Fine Extraction Technique!" Tonari's voice rang out again.

He maintained precise control over the electric current to ensure the pierced heart remained active and functional.

Naka Anzu didn't hesitate this time. She quickly formed the necessary hand seals and placed her hands over the patient's chest.

Thin streams of blackish-purple fluid began to flow from the heart, collecting in a sphere of tainted liquid in her hands.

The most dangerous toxin affecting the heart was now removed. Although the patient had lost a significant amount of blood, as long as his heart continued to function, his life could still be preserved with minimal blood circulation.

Tonari increased the output of the electric current, stimulating the heart further. Using his chakra, he directed the remaining blood to flow toward the injuries and circulate through the vital organs, ensuring they didn't suffer permanent damage from oxygen deprivation.

As the blood gradually regained its normal color, the patient's face turned pale—almost ashen, resembling a corpse.

Despite his appearance, Naka Anzu could tell the patient's organs were still functioning, albeit weakly. To an untrained observer, the man might look dead, but a blood transfusion could stabilize him.

However, blood transfusion in the shinobi world wasn't simple. The patient was a member of the Uchiha clan, meaning his blood carried their unique traits. Using blood from another clan could result in fatal complications.

More pressing was the issue of the scalpel lodged in his heart. While it was currently sustaining the heart's activity with electric currents, removing it was a delicate operation.

"Who here knows the Healing Resuscitation Regeneration Technique?" Tonari asked, glancing around the room.

"I do!" Naka Anzu responded immediately.

The other medical ninjas exchanged uncertain glances, with some admitting they'd never even heard of the technique.

Tonari frowned. The Healing Resuscitation Regeneration Technique was a complex medical ninjutsu requiring significant chakra reserves and constant focus. Performing it alone would be draining, and mistakes could be catastrophic.

"Naka, how about the Mystical Palm Technique? Are you proficient in that?"

Naka bit her lip before nodding. "I'm not an expert, but I can manage."

"Good. I'll increase the electric stimulation on his heart, targeting the cells to accelerate their activity and healing. When I remove the scalpel, you'll need to use the Mystical Palm Technique to ensure his heart continues functioning. The rest, I'll handle."

He turned to the others. "Treat his smaller wounds immediately to prevent infection and further blood loss."

"Yes, sir!" The medical team sprang into action, inspired by Tonari's leadership and expertise.

When the team finished treating the external injuries, Tonari gave Naka Anzu a signal.

"Three… two… one… Go!"

With precision, Tonari unleashed a burst of lightning chakra through the scalpel before withdrawing it.

Naka Anzu activated her Mystical Palm Technique just as the scalpel left the heart, stabilizing it with practiced precision.

Tonari didn't pause to ensure her success. Instead, he formed hand seals.

"Shadow Clone Jutsu!"

Three identical copies of him appeared.

The lightning stimulation from earlier not only increased cellular activity to speed up healing but also caused residual muscle contractions, ensuring continued blood circulation even without the scalpel.

"Healing Resuscitation Regeneration Technique!" Tonari and his clones began channeling chakra into the patient.

This technique accelerated the production of blood cells and encouraged rapid cellular regeneration. While it would shorten the patient's lifespan slightly, survival was the priority.

"If only I'd mastered Tsunade's Creation Rebirth, this would've been so much easier…" Tonari muttered.

A typical human could lose up to 20% of their blood before entering hypovolemic shock. Any further, and death became likely without immediate intervention.

In the shinobi world, their enhanced physiques allowed for slightly higher thresholds, but even they couldn't survive losing half their blood.

Thanks to the regeneration-boosting pill Tonari had administered earlier, combined with the Healing Resuscitation Regeneration Technique, the patient's condition gradually stabilized as his blood volume reached 70%.

Tonari dispelled his clones, feeling the strain on his chakra reserves.

"Alright, the critical phase is over. The rest is up to you," he said, stepping back.

"Yes, sir!" The medical team nodded fervently, inspired by Tonari's performance.

Naka Anzu turned to him, her expression a mixture of awe and curiosity.

"You're… the new Division Leader?"

Before Tonari could answer, the door burst open.

Two more medical ninjas rushed in, panting. One was a chubby man who immediately shouted, "Anzu, did you manage to hold on? We're here to help!"

The newcomers were Kaito Kinoshita and Tomoko Ueno, leaders of the Second and Third Sub-Groups, respectively.

Tomoko, a mature woman in her early thirties, radiated an air of calm authority. Among the group, she was the most experienced and had been the top candidate for Division Leader before Tonari's appointment.

Anzu's face lit up with excitement as she introduced Tonari. "Tomoko, Kaito! This is our new Division Leader, Tonari-sama. He just saved the poisoned patient single-handedly!"

Kaito and Tomoko froze, their expressions shifting as they processed her words. They were well aware of how dire the patient's condition had been.

Tomoko was the first to recover. She stepped forward and bowed respectfully.

"Tonari-sama."

Kaito and Anzu quickly followed suit.

Despite their initial reservations about Tonari's sudden appointment, his abilities had completely won them over. In the ninja world, power and skill spoke louder than words or seniority.

Tonari waved them off, a warm smile on his face. "There's no need for such formalities. You're all more experienced than me in this field. I'll need your guidance to navigate my new responsibilities."

His humility immediately put them at ease.

After briefing his team on their new assignments, Tonari exited the operating room to find Fugaku still waiting.

"How is he?" Fugaku asked, his voice tinged with worry.

Tonari smiled. "He's stable now. He'll recover with time."

"Thank you, Tonari-kun. Truly, thank you!" Fugaku exhaled deeply, visibly relieved.

"You're welcome. As a medical ninja, it's my duty to help. And as Yoshinari's teammate, there's no need to stand on ceremony."

Fugaku's respect for Tonari deepened. It was becoming clear that this young medic was no ordinary ninja.
