In the Sand Village, the clones are everywhere, and the Arkham game begins

Chapter 342: The Tsuruga Clan

"I see."

Qingshui nodded slightly and walked upstairs.

An injury that even Chiyo can't cure is indeed tricky.

Arriving at the intensive care unit on the second floor, Shimizu saw Chiyo sitting by the bed and performing medical ninjutsu on Rasa.

At this time, Luo Sha was lying on the bed with a painful look on his face, his upper body naked, and a spider-patterned tumor appeared on his chest where his heart was.

This is……

"Qingshui, you are here."

"Shimizu-kun! Please save Luo Sha!"

The Third Kazekage saw Shimizu and moved aside slightly.

After seeing Shimizu, Jialuo, who was waiting on the other side of Luosha, also shouted with tears in his eyes.

"Tell me what's going on first."

Qingshui took a look at Luosha's current state and spoke.

"It's from the daimyo's side."

The Third Kazekage spoke at this time.

"Daimyo?"

Is it possible that the Daimyo also has a master who can force a strong man like Rasa, who has already stepped into the threshold of Kage level, to this point?

"They are not ninjas from this country, they are from the Suginoku Country."

The Third Kazekage said.

"The daimyo is dissatisfied with our long-term inability to completely eradicate the rebel forces. He may have suspected that we are secretly supporting these rebel forces. Coupled with the instigation of those businessmen and nobles who are jealous of the canal, production line, and chakra energy, the daimyo decided to directly cancel the military expenditure on the Sand Village.

One purpose is to try to force us to submit, but now the village's economic revenue capacity and development speed have entered a positive cycle. Even if the daimyo's military support is cut off, it will not have any impact on the stability of the village. It will only slow down the village's development speed to a certain extent.

The real problem is that they intend to start over and re-establish another military force belonging to the Kingdom of Wind."

Qing Shui frowned slightly and made a comment:

"Silly idea."

Re-establish another military organization belonging to the Kingdom of Wind?
Don’t you see which force in the ninja world is capable of competing with the Wind Country?

Except Konoha, no!
If the other three large ninja villages want to deal with the Sand Village, they can only say that they are good at defense but not aggressive enough. If faced with an attack from the Sand Village, they will most likely be able to barely defend their territory. If they want to attack back, they will have no chance of winning without joining forces with other large ninja villages!
Just like in the original time and space, in every Ninja World War, Konoha was the one fighting against many.

Part of the reason is that the resources there are so abundant that everyone who sees them wants to take a bite. Another reason, isn’t it because they can’t defeat them and have to fight side by side?
The current ninja world is in a situation where Sand Village and Konoha are competing for supremacy. Except for any other force other than the five major ninja villages, as long as Sand Village can fight, it will be easily defeated!

This is true even for the Hidden Rain Village with Hanzo and the Land of Iron with an admiral who has Kage-level combat power.

How can one or two Kage-level warriors defeat a group of them?
The fact that the Daimyo of the Wind Country did this only shows that he is not familiar enough with the power of ninjas and does not understand enough about the strength of the Sand Village.

"Although I think so too, they have the confidence to do this. Without some ability, Luo Sha would not be like this. Yesterday afternoon, Luo Sha received intelligence that a group of wandering ninjas from Sugino Country who were recruited by the daimyo had entered the country, so he led an Anbu team to intercept them, but in the end, he was the only one who came back."

The Third Kazekage said in a serious tone.

Is it Rosa rapa?

He is considered a relatively newbie among the Kage-level warriors. Although he has learned breathing techniques to make up for his shortcomings, he is actually quite resistant to this special ninjutsu nominally developed by Shimizu in the early stages. It was not until most of the senior ninjas learned the breathing techniques and their strength was improved, and even the Third Kazekage had practiced it to a certain level, that he realized how good it was and started to learn it.

But that was among the Kage-level strongmen. No matter what, Rasa's strength was still at the top of the pyramid in the ninja world.

The opponent already has the power to threaten or even kill a Kage-level warrior!
He is a Kage-level warrior with an Anbu team.

Rasa's abilities are highly consistent with those of the Third Kazekage. If the other party has the ability to turn Rasa into this appearance, it is very likely that he can also turn the Third Kazekage into this appearance.

"The enemy is a bug user similar to the Aburame clan and the Kamisui Ryu clan, but the bug control technique is more bizarre. They manipulate flying insects that are only the size of cells to invade the enemy's body. These flying insects will absorb chakra in the enemy's body to grow. When they grow to a certain size, the chakra of these insects will change in nature and explode together with the nitrate secretions in the insects' bodies."

Chiyo withdrew her hand, her face serious, and then looked at Shimizu.

"Compared to other ANBU members, Rosa's chakra is of higher quality, and the bugs are more difficult to digest. The chakra in his body can also suppress them for a certain period of time, so he won't explode and die on the spot. But at the same time, the power of this explosive bug will be more terrifying. I no longer dare to use medical ninjutsu to suppress the bug's chakra, because if the operation is wrong, it will explode prematurely. The explosive bug and tumor removal surgery must be performed as soon as possible.

If it were just this, it would be no big deal and I could remove it right now. However, there is more than one bug in Luo Sha's body, and because this bug has just laid eggs and bred other bugs, I am worried that it will cause other chain reactions. Once I remove this detonating bug and allow the other larvae to leave their current position and lose their positioning, it will be much more troublesome than it is now.

So I need a ninja who has the ability to perceive and do things at the cellular level, and who can accurately locate those larvae from the trillions of cells in the human body."

Qingshui used his transparent world to sweep Luosha's body and immediately understood.

The situation is exactly as Chiyo said.

However, he felt that Chiyo actually had a chance to solve the trouble with Luosha.

According to his judgment, if Chiyo were to act on her own, the probability of success would be about 40%.

On the one hand, he wanted to increase the chances of the operation being successful by calling me along so as not to risk Luo Sha's life, but on the other hand...

If I become Luo Sha's savior, then if Luo Sha wants to compete with me in the future, he will be inferior to me by nature.

No, Luo Sha has learned the breathing technique and has become a head shorter.

That means he is two heads shorter!
"Is that group of ninjas called Xuanyuanzhong?"

Luo Sha's current situation is very similar to the methods of the Xuanyuan people in his imagination, but the enemies he encounters seem to be stronger.

However, the Xuanyuan people happened twenty years later. They might not be the same group, but they definitely have a deep relationship.

The Third Kazekage spoke at this time:

"No, that's an old man. According to the intelligence, he seems to be ten years older than me. He is from a small insect-controlling ninja clan in the Warring States Period, called the Tsurugaya clan. But before the establishment of the ninja village system, they had been severely damaged by the ravages of war and were almost wiped out. Before that, no one was known to have survived. Now it seems that some of them hid in the Suginoku Country and have just come out."

The Third Kazekage is in his early fifties this year, about ten years older than him, which means he is around sixty years old, about the same age as Hanzo.

At this age, before the establishment of the ninja village system, he was actually already a dozen years older. "Prepare to move to the sterile room, Chiyo-sensei."

"Great! I'll ask the doctor to make arrangements!"

Jialuo released the hand that he was holding tightly on Luosha's hand and hurried out the door.

"Tell me about your treatment plan and see which one is better, yours or mine."

Chiyo said to Kiyomizu.

"First, use the sealing technique to block the explosive bug and the surrounding area, then directly cut off the larvae and the piece of flesh, and then replace it with a mechanical heart made with puppetry..."

"A mechanical heart can never be compared to a physical heart. Shimizu, if you do this, Luo Sha's strength will be much weaker in the future. Before he is replaced with a heart with stronger power and more stable position, he may not be able to maintain high-intensity exercise and continue to be a ninja.

My plan is to use the sealing technique to block it, but only perform a small-scale operation on the heart. Then you and I will cooperate with three other outstanding medical ninjas to perform the healing and regeneration array to repair Luo Sha's heart. In this way, the success rate can be close to 60%, but if it fails, Luo Sha will die completely. "

Chiyo said to Kiyomizu.

Compared to Shimizu's drastic approach, Chiyo's is more delicate, but carries a higher risk of death, but has a greater chance of preserving Rasa's strength.

Of course, if the repair is not perfect, Luo Sha’s heart might still have some minor problems.

Luo Sha, who was wailing on the bed, looked a little pale when he heard Qing Shui's words. After hearing Chiyo's words, he suppressed the pain and uttered a few words with difficulty:

"I...I choose...the second...one..."

The Third Kazekage stood by the window with his arms folded across his chest.

He could understand Luo Sha's thoughts.

It was already embarrassing for Luo Sha to let his rival Shimizu save his life.

If he lost his power again, it would be torture for Luo Sha.

However, the Third Kazekage could also understand Shimizu.

Although it is now basically certain that Shimizu will become the next Kazekage, Luosha still poses a threat. If we can avoid bloodshed at this time and use a reasonable method, we can both destroy Luosha and save his life.

Moreover, there is no need to worry about the operation failing and Rosa dying, which would lead some conspiracy theorists to spread rumors that Shimizu deliberately killed his competitor Rosa.

If it were the Third Kazekage himself, he would most likely make the same choice.

However, the Third Kazekage felt that this seemed a little different from Shimizu's previous style of doing things.

He thought Shimizu would choose a similar option as Chiyo.

Because he doesn't seem like the kind of person who would care about such things.

But in reality, Shimizu just had a better solution.

"Teacher Chiyo, you misunderstood."

Qingshui shook his head.

"The function of the mechanical heart is only to temporarily supply blood to Luo Sha after removing his own heart, to maintain his life. After removing the detonating insects, we can slowly check out the larvae of the heart and reinstall it on Luo Sha.

This would be less risky, ensure Luo Sha's life would be mostly out of danger, and would give him a good chance of recovering his full strength.

Of course, the prerequisite is to ensure the activity of the heart and ensure that the reinstallation process is accurate enough to reactivate the heart.

As for methods with less risk, there are actually some.”

Chiyo nodded slightly.

This method is good, but it will be more difficult to operate.

Moreover, is there a way with less risk?
"Qingshui, what you mean by a less risky method is..."

"It's very simple. I can just use the Creation and Regeneration Technique to create another heart, right?"

Chiyo:……

I usually think from the perspective of an ordinary medical ninja, and almost forget that Shimizu's chakra level has reached the tailed beast level, and he can create regeneration techniques almost without any burden.

But in this case, her assessment of her apprentice's ability would be a little higher.

The Third Kazekage also understood this.

A few minutes later, Luo Sha was quickly transferred to the sterile operating room.

Jialuo looked nervous, sitting outside the door with his hands clasped tightly.

"Teacher Chiyo, you will make the mechanical heart. Luo Sha, I will use sealing techniques to suppress the explosive bugs and inhibit their chakra activity, so your heart will feel stuffy and painful, not to mention the subsequent heart replacement surgery, which will be even more painful.

During the whole process, I need you to mobilize the chakra complex to suppress the explosive bugs and transport the chakra to the corresponding position, so you must remain conscious and cannot use drugs for anesthesia. However, I will block some nerves to relieve your pain, but you must maintain perception of the corresponding parts, so it is only a part, not all of it, and it will still be very painful.

I need you to endure it and try to keep your body stable to avoid making the operation more difficult. Of course, there are also devices to stabilize your body."

Shimizu looked at Luosha lying on the bed, handcuffed his torso, limbs and neck, and spoke.

More than twenty minutes later.

A spider lying on a heart that has not stopped beating, wrapped in a special sealing cloth, like a dumpling. The sealing runes on it keep moving, and finally stabilize, suppressing the activity of the detonating insects.

"The Sealing Evil Seal can ensure that the Detonating Bugs will not mutate further within twelve hours. Before that, we must find the Detonating Bugs larvae and analyze the entire process of their growth into adults to find a way to crack this ninjutsu."

Chiyo looked at the explosive bug samples sealed in the box and said to Shimizu.

"It's okay. Next time if you encounter a ninja from the Tsuruya clan, just let me deal with him. My perception ability is fine enough even at a distance of a thousand meters. I can directly use other methods to eliminate him remotely. Even if he really invades the body, my chakra can suppress the Detonating Bug longer than Rasa's. I can directly use the Fine Extraction Technique to take him out of the body. As long as that person appears within my perception range, he will not survive."

Shimizu withdrew his hand from Rasa's chest, retracted the medical ninjutsu, and spoke calmly.
