Chapter 243 [Physical Healing]

The Island of Oblivion, the Core Laboratory.

Rows of huge cylindrical glass culture chambers stood under the dim blue light, and pale humanoid bodies were immersed in the light green nutrient solution.

These bodies have no facial features and their surfaces have a texture like plant fibers. They are White Zetsu clones cultivated by Aoba using the island's cloning technology.

"The progress is still too slow —"

Aoba stood in front of the control panel, looking at the data flashing on the screen, and frowned slightly.

The island's cloning technology is still in a very rudimentary stage. It is based on the data left by Professor Oak and is even struggling to clone summoned beasts, let alone humans.

Fortunately, due to the special properties of White Zetsu, cloning White Zetsu is relatively simple.

This biological weapon, born from the divine tree, is essentially more plant-like in nature.

Provided with enough chakra and nutrients, their cell division rate is astonishingly fast, and the requirements for cloning are not as stringent as those for ordinary organisms.

Aoba's purpose in cloning White Zetsu was to use White Zetsu's body as a sacrifice for the Impure World Reincarnation.

That's right, he's preparing to use the Impure World Reincarnation technique again.

The target is Kato Dan, and to revive Mr. Dan!

He was not chosen by fate. Even Naruto was on the verge of death before Tsunade was able to overcome her hemophobia.

Since it's a psychological problem, we should treat the symptoms directly. Once Kato is cured, his hemophobia will naturally heal itself.

With Tsunade's strength restored, she has gained another powerful combatant, which will also facilitate the next plan.

However, how to revive them is another question.

Because the quality of the offerings directly affects the upper limit of the user's strength after being resurrected through the Impure World Reincarnation.

Aoba only has one flawless Mangekyou Sharingan, and only one chance.

The Sharingan Reincarnation Technique is the only resurrection ninjutsu he currently possesses.

But he didn't understand the resurrection mechanism.

Is the resurrection based on the state at the time of Edo Tensei, or is it a direct restoration to the state before death?

Aoba can only make judgments based on the plot of the anime. The old man with age spots was modified by Kabuto Yakushi in the Edo Tensei state, and he also maintained his youthful appearance after being resurrected.

Therefore, to be on the safe side, Aoba decided to restore Kato Dan's strength during the Edo Tensei stage as much as possible.

This way, no matter which resurrection mechanism is used, there won't be any problems.

Aoba checked the data again, then turned and left the lab.

The Island of Oblivion is much more lively now than before.

If you look closely, you'll notice that there are quite a few more people with red hair on the island.

The Whirlpool Clan.

Since taking control of Gato, Aoba has used Gato's vast shipping network to search extensively throughout the ninja world for the lost Uzumaki clan members.

Most of these people lived in anonymity in the corners of various small countries. Some became merchants, some became ordinary farmers, and many more struggled to survive amidst displacement and hardship.

So far, more than a dozen people have been found.

"Lord Aoba, you've arrived!"

"Greetings, Lord Aoba!"

People kept greeting him along the way, and Aoba smiled and nodded in response to each one, showing his approachable nature.

People from the Uzumaki clan, the Blood Pool clan, and even the children Aoba had helped greeted Aoba with great respect and gratitude.

After all, it was a real investment of money, which not only provided safe housing but also ample food and living supplies.

They knew very well who had given them their happy life, and everyone respected and was grateful to Aoba.

Of course, it's also necessary to give subtle "hints" from time to time, since there are quite a few ungrateful people who will turn on you even if you don't give them enough.

Just then, a commotion arose in the distance.

"Quick! Support him! Don't touch the injury on his leg!"

"What's going on? Why did they go to the southern region again?"

Following the sound, Qingye looked and saw two young men supporting a red-haired youth as they walked quickly out of the forest path.

A long gash was torn open on the outside of the man's thigh, and blood was flowing down his trouser leg. Judging from the shape of the wound, it was probably caused by the claws of some kind of spirit beast.

Aoba did not step forward.

This level of injury is not fatal.

Although a large number of the summoning beasts on the island were devoured after the Ultimate Summoning Beast incident, quite a few remained.

These guys all have their own territory. If a stranger trespasses, getting a swipe of their claws is the least of their worries.

Honoka used to be in charge of dealing with summoning beasts, but now that she is the leader of the Forgotten Island, Aoba instructed her that some things must be delegated to her subordinates.

Learn to delegate.

As long as it's not life-threatening, getting a little injured is no big deal.

How can one grow without tempering?

Furthermore, Aoba required everyone on the island to learn how to refine chakra.

Of course, learning to refine chakra does not mean you have to become a ninja.

This way, they will have the ability to fight back in case of another major crisis, a point that Honoka strongly agrees with.

As for how to help ordinary people extract chakra, especially for researchers who are already adults or even elderly, Aoba still used the old method.

He diluted the leukemia cells and added them to the island's residents' daily drinking water and food.

Over time, these people's bodies will gradually adapt to the White Zetsu cells, their meridian system will be activated little by little, and they will eventually have the basic conditions to refine chakra.

At present, researchers have already successfully extracted chakra at a relatively fast pace.

Although the amount is small, roughly equivalent to that of a ninja academy student, once you have chakra, you can gradually increase it through training and nutrition.

As for practical training, the territorial spirit beasts on the island are perfect sparring partners.

Of course, there are still safety guidelines. Honoka has designated a training area, and warnings have been set up for some dangerous summoning beasts.

"I'm sorry, it was my carelessness that led me astray into that giant bear's territory—"

The injured red-haired youth gritted his teeth and said with a face full of guilt.

"Alright, enough talk, let's stop the bleeding first." The person next to him hurriedly took out a bandage.

Just then, a red-haired woman carrying a child hurried out of the wooden house next door.

She first handed the child she was holding to a fellow clansman next to her. The child was a little girl with red hair, a little over a year old, who was looking around curiously with her round eyes.

Then, the woman quickly walked to the red-haired youth's side, squatted down, and examined his injuries.

"Bite me."

She rolled up her sleeves and held her fair arm to the young man's mouth, her tone calm yet firm.

"Shiori-nee-san, no need, I—"

The red-haired youth looked at the woman, and a hint of reluctance flashed in his eyes as if he had thought of something.

"Hurry up, the wound will get infected if it's not treated soon," Shiori urged.

The red-haired youth was silent for a moment, then whispered "I'm sorry," and bit her arm.

The next second, a miraculous scene unfolded.

The terrifying, deep wound on the young man's thigh, which exposed bone, began to heal at a speed visible to the naked eye.

In just a few breaths, not a single scar was left on the wound!

Those around them were clearly unfazed by this scene, and some even whispered a sigh of admiration, "Shiori is really amazing."

Aoba, standing some distance away, had a somber expression.

"Shioori".

The sound wasn't loud, but it carried an undeniable sense of pressure.

The people around fell silent and all turned to look at Qingye.

He strode forward, and the surrounding crowd automatically parted to make way for him, and Aoba came to stand in front of Shiori.

When Xizhi saw Qingye's gloomy face, her body trembled violently, and her originally gentle face immediately showed a panicked look of helplessness.

"Lord Ao-Aoba————"

Shiori lowered her head like a child who had done something wrong.

Qingye didn't say anything, but directly reached out and grabbed her arm.

His fair arms were covered with teeth marks of varying depths!

Some have scabbed over and turned into light pink scars, while others are still fresh red, clearly formed in the last few days.

"Shioori".

Aoba stared straight at her, her tone calm but carrying a barely perceptible hint of anger.

"How many times have I told you? Don't let anyone bite you again. Have you been ignoring me?"

Shiori lowered her head, twisting the hem of her clothes like a child who had done something wrong.

"But—everyone is badly injured, and blood is still flowing—"

"Then use hemostatic drugs and bandages."

Aoba interrupted her, "Where did you learn medical ninjutsu? Can't you even use basic medical ninjutsu?"

Shiori lowered her head even further, her voice barely audible: "Still—not quite there yet."

Aoba took a deep breath.

He knew this would be the outcome.

Uzumaki Shiori, a descendant of the Uzumaki clan brought back from the Land of Grass by Ryoichi.

Accompanying her back was the red-haired little girl, Uzumaki Kaoru, who was currently being held in her companion's arms, staring at them with wide, curious eyes.

In the original timeline, the mother and daughter would wander all the way to the Land of Grass. In order to integrate into the Hidden Grass Village and secure a stable environment for her daughter to grow up in, Shiori would deliberately reveal her [Physical Healing] ability.

As a result, she was treated as a expendable resource by the Hidden Grass Village, her life force being sucked away day after day, and she was eventually drained to death when Xiangling was still very young.

After witnessing her mother's tragedy, Xiangling resolutely betrayed Kusagakure and was later taken in by Orochimaru.

Now, Aoba has intercepted the mother and daughter ahead of time and taken them to the Island of Oblivion.

When they first arrived on the island, Shiori was extremely nervous, like a frightened fawn, ready to run away with her child at any moment.

But after seeing so many of her kind on the island, and having a stable place to live and food, she gradually felt at ease and settled down.

Initially, she carefully concealed her abilities.

Until one day, a Vortex Clan member was seriously injured during training and was carried back covered in blood.

Seeing the pained faces of her fellow clansmen, Shiori finally couldn't hold back anymore.

She proactively revealed her "physical healing" abilities.
