Analyzing the Ninja World Starting from Konoha

Chapter 309 "Jugo's" Sage Mode (Revised)

"You two just need to stand on the sidelines and observe."

Kimimaro nodded and walked directly to the operating table.

Shigego was a little confused and scratched his head, seemingly at a loss.

"Do I want to watch it too?"

"Yes, you watch too."

Aoba smiled and said, "Consider it as getting familiar with things beforehand."

Although Jugo didn't quite understand, he still obediently stood to the side of the operating table.

While preparing the surgical instruments, Aoba instructed Kimimaro, "After the surgery, if you have time, you can try to see if you can control other people's bones using chakra."

"Controlling the bones inside someone else's body? Yes, Lord Aoba."

Kimimaro had no doubt about whether he could do it; to him, if Lord Aoba said it was possible, then it was definitely possible.

"Try not to touch your bones in the future, and never remove your spine casually."

Aoba reiterated, then explained, "There is a limit to bone age. Constantly pushing your bones to grow is equivalent to constantly overdrawing your life."

"The 'corpse bone vein' works by controlling its own osteoblasts, osteoclasts, and calcium concentration to deform or harden the bones within the body; it's not that it can't extend outwards!"

"I don't want you to die so young, you know?"

Aoba looked at Kimimaro, who paused for a moment and then nodded.

Orochimaru, standing nearby, pondered the feasibility of this idea in his mind.

"Chakra absorption technique?"

"Um.

""

Qingye nodded.

Of course, he wasn't just making things up; the most classic example is the First Hokage's Wood Release: Wood Splinter Technique.

"The wooden spikes pierce the enemy's body, absorb the enemy's chakra, and continue to grow, causing continuous damage."

"If wood can grow inside someone else's body, there's no reason why bones can't."

Aoba turned to Kimimaro again and smiled, "If you can do that, not only can you destroy the enemy's bones from the inside, but you can even—you can use it to repair your comrades' broken bones and become an outstanding medical ninja!"

Kimimaro remained silent for a moment, then nodded solemnly.

"I understand, Lord Aoba."

Orochimaru glanced at Kimimaro, then at Jugo, and then at Aoba.

I don't understand some of it.

In his view, both boys possessed exceptional fighting talent.

Kimimaro's Shikotsumyaku is an extremely rare bloodline limit, combining offense and defense, making him virtually invincible in close combat.

Needless to say, Jugo's Sage Body is an abnormal physique that can absorb natural energy from birth, making him a mobile killing machine on the battlefield.

But look at Aoba's actions——————

They actually want to train these two to become medical ninjas?

Orochimaru couldn't help but speak up, "Aoba-kun, your arrangement—is truly unexpected."

"Whether it's Kimimaro's Shikotsumyaku or Jugo's Sage Body, which allows him to spontaneously absorb natural energy, they both clearly possess extremely outstanding combat talent."

"But from what you're saying, it seems you want to train them both to be medical ninjas?"

Aoba glanced at Orochimaru and said matter-of-factly, "Who says medical ninjas can't fight?"

"Besides, how can one become a top-tier ninja without a certain level of medical expertise?"

Orochimaru was taken aback, and upon reflection, it seemed to be true.

"Combat and healing are not inherently contradictory, and for a genius, this is not a difficult task."

Aoba withdrew his gaze and refocused his attention on Nagato. "Alright, enough chit-chat, let's prepare to begin the surgery."

""

Aoba took out a bottle of pale blue water of life from the sealed scroll and hung it on the shelf as an IV drip.

With the aid of the Water of Life and Aoba's medical ninjutsu, Orochimaru quickly began to remove the first black rod.

laugh----

With a soft sound, the first black rod was completely pulled out.

Blood gushed from the wound, but under the combined effect of the Water of Life and Healing Chakra, the wound healed at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"First one, done."

Orochimaru placed the black rod aside and moved on to the next one.

The second root — the third root — the seventh root —

The surgery went extremely smoothly.

The tailed beast chakra replenished within Nagato's body provided ample life support, and coupled with the miraculous healing effect of the Water of Life, the wounds healed almost instantly after each black rod was removed.

Kimimaro, who was watching intently from the side, memorized every detail.

Although Jugo didn't quite understand the specific medical procedures, the pale green healing light and the scene of the wound healing rapidly moved him inexplicably.

It turns out that the power of ninjas can also be used to heal others.

Time passed by, second by second.

When Aoba took out the eleventh black rod, his movements finally stopped.

When only the last black rod remained, Orochimaru suddenly stopped moving.

The black rod is located extremely deep inside.

Orochimaru frowned. "This is troublesome."

Because this last one connects to the heart, it is not only inserted the deepest, but its tip is also connected to the aorta of the heart.

Orochimaru simply tugged at it, and the talisman in his heart reacted.

"If this black rod is pulled out rashly, it will definitely trigger the spell instantly, causing the heart to explode."

Aoba: "It's okay, just pull it out."

"Oh?! A cloned heart?"

As soon as the words left his mouth, Orochimaru immediately rejected the idea.

Even a heart cloned using Nagato's own cells would be absolutely incompatible with his current body!

This method might work for ordinary people or ninjas with less skill.

But not Nagato!

Because he is too strong.

A new, untrained heart simply couldn't handle his powerful body!

Once he receives a cloned heart, his heart will burst instantly due to the unbearable pressure if he uses even a little chakra!

Orochimaru knew this very well, so Aoba couldn't possibly be unaware of it.

He followed Aoba's gaze and it landed on Jugo.

"he?"

"That's right."

Qingye nodded.

"oh?!"

Orochimaru became increasingly curious about what Aoba was going to do.

Aoba looked at Jugo, "Jugo, do you know what the true nature of your ability is?"

Jugo shook his head; all he knew was that he would lose control and become a monster.

"Your body can spontaneously absorb natural energy and convert it into bioenergy."

Aoba explained, "This energy not only strengthens your physical body, but more importantly—it can be transferred to others."

"Transfer?"

Jugo was stunned.

"right."

Aoba nodded. "If you can perfectly control your power, then you will become—the strongest medical ninja."

"Me? I can become a medical ninja?"

Shigeo found it hard to believe.

He never imagined that the power he possessed could save lives.

He was kind by nature, and even felt guilty for stepping on an insect.

He loathed fighting and was even more afraid of losing control and killing people.

If I could really use my own power to save lives and become a medical ninja, just like what Lord Aoba said, that wouldn't be bad!

"sure."

Aoba gave him a definite answer.

In fact, Aoba was definitely not joking.

In the original timeline, Jugo is definitely a super medical support character who is severely underestimated by the entire ninja world!

Many people's impression of Jugo is that of a berserker who goes crazy at the drop of a hat, turns into a monster, and smashes people everywhere.

But actually?

Jugo's medical skills are simply phenomenal!

In the original story, when Sasuke led Team Taka to capture Killer Bee, the Eight-Tails.

Two-Saint's attempt to show off failed, and he was pierced through the chest by Killer Bee's "Lightning Blade," which shattered his internal organs. The anime version made a change to cover it up.

If it's a comic book version, it's much clearer.

That level of fatal injury is not much different from the one that broke back then; even Tsunade couldn't have helped.

The results of it?

Jugo activated the cursed seal, separating a portion of his body and a large amount of chakra, and forcefully repaired Sasuke's shattered internal organs, pulling Sasuke back from the brink of death!

At that moment, Xiangling was shocked by the look in Wu's eyes, and even Yama was dumbfounded.

This ability to directly repair cells and even reshape internal organs out of thin air is absolutely unique in the entire Naruto medical system!

Even Tsunade, who is known as the number one medical ninja in the ninja world, could not achieve such an absurd physical reconstruction.

Of course, Aoba won't work either.

Unfortunately, Jugo's medical skills, which can be described as divine, were overlooked by everyone because of his ferocious fighting performance.

He even defined himself as a monster who only knew how to kill.

"Mr. Orochimaru, don't let his ferocious fighting style mislead you into thinking he has the true power."

Upon hearing this, Orochimaru seemed to be pondering something.

Qingye didn't keep them in suspense and asked directly, "Why do those giant snakes and toads in the three holy lands call themselves 'immortals'?"

There was no need for Aoba to say anything more; Orochimaru naturally understood.

"I see—natural energy and the immortal body are indeed very valuable!"

Orochimaru stuck out his tongue and washed his face, his eyes shining brightly. "Aoba-kun, I always get unexpected gains when I'm with you."

Some things should be left unsaid.

Aoba turned to look at Jugo, who was still somewhat excited.

What he just said was true, and it was one of the reasons that made him lower his guard.

"Shigego, don't resist for a moment. I will temporarily take control of your body."

Jugo was taken aback for a moment. Although he didn't know what Aoba was going to do, he wasn't so opposed to it now and immediately nodded in agreement.

"Okay—okay."

Aoba formed a very special hand seal with both hands.

Spiritualization Technique!

The spirit leaped out from Qingye's head, hum!

An invisible wave of soul energy surged from Aoba's body and entered Jugo's brow.

This time, instead of pulling Jugo into the mental world, they directly controlled his body.

Jugo felt a blur before his eyes, and instantly lost control of his body, becoming a mere bystander.

Immediately afterwards, Aoba's voice rang in his mind.

"Don't be nervous, watch carefully, and feel how I guide this power."

"Spiritualization techniques?"

Orochimaru watched this scene with great interest. He was very curious about what Aoba would do by controlling Jugo's body.

Then, Jugo slowly closed his eyes and clasped his hands together in front of his chest.

Snapped!

The black curse mark spread rapidly, threatening to cover the entire body.

The next second, the black curse mark receded rapidly like a tide, disappearing without a trace.

Instead, a light blue chakra cloak covered his body as if it were a tangible substance.

At the same time, a strange blue facial pattern appeared on Jugo's face, and two short horns slowly grew on either side of his forehead.

Kimimaro stared at "Jugo" in shock. He knew that it was Aoba-sama controlling him, but he never expected that the two of them would use the same power in such completely different ways.

Orochimaru narrowed his eyes, observing carefully so as not to miss any detail.

"Jugo" slowly opened his eyes. He raised his hand, touched the special horn on his forehead, felt the power within his body, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

"Is this what a naturally gifted immortal body looks like? It's a truly unique physique, so much so that it doesn't even need to consciously balance the proportion of natural energy it absorbs."

Aoba, controlling Jugo's body, turned to look at Orochimaru.

"After all, it's not my own body. This state can only be maintained for five minutes. I have to hurry."

Orochimaru's lips curled into a wicked smile.

"Hehe, five minutes is enough."

At this moment, Aoba's true form (whose body was taken over by the auxiliary chip) stepped forward, placed his hands on Nagato's chest, and unleashed the Palm Healing Technique.

Orochimaru grabbed the last black rod.

"It's time to pull it out!"

laugh!

Orochimaru exerted his strength and pulled out the last black rod!

Just as the black rod left Nagato's body.

At Nagato's heart, the black talisman hidden there suddenly lit up.

Nagato, who was previously unconscious, suddenly coughed up blood, and his face turned pale instantly.

Even with the life-giving water hanging from his arm, Nagato's life was already on a countdown.

Orochimaru flicked his finger, slicing open Nagato's chest and revealing his shattered heart.

"Now!"

Jugo, who was in Sage Mode, moved and reached out his hand.

The tip of the arm rapidly liquefied, transforming into countless fine, flesh-colored tubes!

These catheters, as if they were alive, pierced directly into Nagato's shattered chest cavity.

Catalyzed by natural energy, the originally broken heart began to "repair"!

Ventricle, atrium, aorta, blood vessels —

A brand new and powerful heart is being rebuilt at a speed visible to the naked eye!

"Thump—thump—"

Less than ten seconds later, his heart resumed beating.

"I see—I see!"

Orochimaru finally understood why Aoba had said that Jugo was more suited to be a medical ninja than anyone else.

This ability to conjure up even a core organ like the heart is beyond the medical system of the ninja world!

It's not about breaking away, it's about subverting!

Aoba, who helped Nagato create the heart, did not exit Sage Mode. Instead, she slowly let go, guiding Jugo to gradually take over, or rather, to experience the current state.

However, whether it was due to consuming too much natural energy or Jugo's lack of control, Sage Mode was quickly deactivated.
