[Chapter 33: Hope for Limb Regeneration (Seeking Recommendation Votes)]

Konoha Hospital.

Rope Tree has been in a coma for a week.

These past few days, Tsunade has been staying by her bedside without leaving her side. Only after Shiraha and Kushina repeatedly persuaded her did she finally go to rest for a while.

In fact, when Rope Tree came out of the operating room, he was basically out of danger. However, due to excessive blood loss and a slight concussion to the brain, he should have woken up long ago.

The most worrying thing now is what will happen after Rope Tree wakes up?

With injuries of this severity, let alone being unable to be a ninja, daily life would be greatly inconvenient, and he would probably need someone to take care of him.

Can Rope Tree accept this outcome?

Losing something you once had is harder to accept than never having had it at all.

One injury ended all possibilities for the future of Rope Tree, this genius.

......

At noon, after having lunch, Shiraha and Kushina went to the hospital to visit Nawaki and also brought lunch to Tsunade.

Jiraiya, one of the Legendary Sannin, has already gone to the western border, but it is said that the Sand Village has dispatched the Third Kazekage, along with Elder Chiyo and his puppeteer unit.

Chiyo is not only a Kage-level ninja, but also extremely skilled in using poison, which is impossible to cure with ordinary medical ninjutsu.

Konoha is currently unable to cope with the poison from the Sand Village's puppeteers, so it can only hold its ground and not fight, but this is not a long-term solution.

Clearly, Tsunade, the medical expert, had to go to the front lines.

Bai Yu examined the injuries of the poisoned ninjas sent back from the front lines. This was a type of toxin that could directly affect chakra. If an antidote could not be developed, then the "Healing Palm Technique" would have to be used to slowly remove the toxin.

However, as a high-level A-rank medical ninjutsu that combines offense and defense, even within the medical team, very few people can use the Palm Healing Technique.

However, there were quite a few poisoned ninjas, and it would be too late to use the Palm Healing Technique to detoxify them one by one.

Moreover, the Palm Healing Technique requires extremely high chakra control and consumes a lot of energy when used. Even if someone masters the Palm Healing Technique, very few people can use it continuously for a long time.

......

Shiraha and Kushina arrived outside the special care ward.

The gatekeepers were two Chunin, but since Bai Yu and Kushina were not outsiders, they were allowed to pass directly.

"Tsunade-sensei, let's eat first."

Seeing that Rope Tree was still asleep, Bai Yu placed the lunchbox on the small table next to the hospital bed.

Tsunade has been sleeping directly in the hospital room these days so that she can take care of Nawaki at any time.

After saying that, Bai Yu winked at Kushina.

Kushina understood and sat down next to Tsunade, gently holding her slightly cold hand. "Tsunade-neechan, let's eat first. Nawaki-nii is awake, and he'll feel sorry for you if he sees you like this."

Tsunade nodded slightly upon hearing this.

Rope Tree's vital signs have basically stabilized, and he should wake up in the next day or two.

However, with the changing situation on the front lines, she couldn't stay in the village indefinitely. But with Rope Tree still unconscious, how could she leave with peace of mind?

Bai Yu opened the lunchbox for Tsunade and handed her the chopsticks; the aroma of the food instantly filled the air.

Although Tsunade didn't have much of an appetite, she still finished her entire bento box.

After all, examining Nawaki's body also requires the use of chakra, so sufficient energy must be replenished.

Shiraha and Kushina sat quietly beside Tsunade.

Sometimes, words are pale and powerless; it is silent companionship that can offer Tsunade some comfort.

"You guys probably have to go to school later, so go ahead and attend class. I'll take care of things here." After a while, Tsunade came to her senses and said softly.

Kushina said, "It's Saturday today, school's closed. Tsunade-neechan, please let us stay with you a little longer."

"Oh...oh." Tsunade nodded.

About an hour later, Nawaki's eyelids twitched slightly on the hospital bed. Tsunade's body trembled violently as she rushed to the bedside to check on him.

"Nawaki? Nawaki!" Tsunade whispered, "How are you feeling?"

"Sister... Sister." Rope Tree slowly opened her eyes, her voice incredibly hoarse and dry, "My legs... hurt so much!"

Tsunade's eyes reddened, and she forced back her tears as she began to use medical ninjutsu to examine Nawaki's body.

Rope Tree seemed to understand his current situation as well.

His reaction was much calmer than Bai Yu had expected.

Nawaki glanced at Kushina and Shiraha beside him, and smiled bitterly:

"Bai Yu, I'm sorry. If I had listened to you and hadn't been so reckless... maybe things wouldn't have turned out this way."

"Rope Tree, focus on recovering from your injuries and don't think too much," Bai Yu comforted him.

Nawaki nodded, looking at Tsunade and saying, "Sister, don't worry, I feel much better. Where's Orochimaru-sensei?"

"Orochimaru felt very guilty after you were injured. He went to the Land of Lightning a few days ago and came back with serious injuries."

Tsunade explained.

"Napaki, Orochimaru, he..."

"This was all my fault, it has nothing to do with Orochimaru-sensei, you can't blame him. You need to explain this clearly to the clan elders." Nawaki expressed his understanding, "Orochimaru-sensei's injuries..."

"I will." Tsunade nodded. "Orochimaru's injury isn't serious; he'll recover soon."

Bai Yu then thought of a major event that had been circulating in the ninja world in recent days.

Could it be that Nawaki's injury was related to Kumogakure? Orochimaru killed Kumogakure's Eight-Tails Jinchuriki to avenge Nawaki, causing the Eight-Tails to go berserk. Eight elite Jonin of Kumogakure were killed, and dozens more were injured.

How much risk would it take to do that?

It's hard to believe that Orochimaru, who is usually so taciturn and calm, is so protective of his own and has such admirable courage.

Tsunade looked at Shiraha and Kushina beside her, "Shiraha, Kushina, Orochimaru's injury is a secret, I hope you will keep it a secret."

Because Orochimaru's "inadequate care" led to Nawaki's severe injuries and near death, the former Jonin of the Senju clan were all dissatisfied, especially some of the old guys who had not yet given up the Senju name, who kept stirring up trouble and trying to escalate the incident.

The Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju, disbanded the Senju clan on the spot, attempting to eliminate the boundaries between clans and ensure that all ninjas would only have the village of Konoha as their background.

However, after Hiruzen Sarutobi succeeded as the Third Hokage, he did not continue to implement this policy, so some of the original Senju clan ninjas wanted to rebuild the Senju clan.

The rope tree is their hope!

Only if the grandson of the First Hokage does this task can it be considered legitimate and will it encounter the least resistance.

Now that their hopes have been dashed, someone has to bear the brunt of their anger.

However, Tsunade didn't blame Orochimaru; who could have imagined such a thing would happen?

Moreover, Tsunade had seen how Orochimaru treated Nawaki.

"Yes, Tsunade-sensei." Shiraha knew what was important.

As for Kushina, she would never say anything out of line.

"Sister, I want to eat dumplings," Rope Tree suddenly said.

Tsunade was taken aback when she heard this, and gently comforted her, "Nawaki, you can't eat these right now. Once you're feeling better, you can eat whatever you want. I'll have Shiraha and Kushina buy them for you."

She didn't say she would go buy it herself, because the awakening of Rope Tree meant she was going to the front lines.

"Sister, don't worry about me, I'm fine, the village needs you!"

Rope Tree remained unusually calm and smiled as he spoke.

His resilience is truly heartbreaking.

At this moment, Bai Yu suddenly spoke:

"Rope Tree, actually your leg isn't entirely hopeless."

[Chapter 34. The Powerful First Hokage Cells, Orochimaru Arrives (Seeking Recommendations)]

As soon as Bai Yu said this, the eyes of Nawaki, Tsunade, and Kushina all focused on him.

Even Nawaki himself subconsciously avoided talking about his leg injury. It was a despairing topic, but unexpectedly, Shiraha brought it up on his own initiative.

"Are you serious?! Shiraha!" Rope Tree was somewhat incredulous, but her face was filled with hope, and her emotions instantly became complicated, losing her previous composure.

"Bai Yu, what are you saying?!" Tsunade raised an eyebrow, a hint of anger in her voice.

Because she had no way to cure Rope Tree, limb regeneration was almost impossible.

Legend has it that her grandfather, the First Hokage Hashirama Senju, could heal himself from any injury, but she never witnessed it firsthand.

Even if the first generation of cells has extremely high activity, it does not mean that a severed limb can be regenerated.

Even if it were possible, current medical technology is completely incapable of applying first-generation cells to the human body.

Bai Yu's words were an unwarranted hope for Sheng Shu, and his disappointment would only grow stronger, perhaps even turning into despair.

Tsunade noticed her brother's unusual calmness from the beginning, but she couldn't expose him.

She will not give up on treatment, but she dares not make any promises until there is real hope.

Bai Yu understood Tsunade's emotions and explained:

"Tsunade-sensei, I have studied your cells, as well as Nawaki's cells."

The activity of the rope tree cells is even stronger than yours.

In other words, as time goes by and his body is fully developed, his cell activity will be stronger.

Based on my preliminary experiments, theoretically speaking, if his cell activity were to increase tenfold!

There is hope that the severed limb can heal itself.
