Konoha: Offer your heart to the Hokage!

"The patient suffered extensive damage to his liver, kidneys, and nervous system, accompanied by nerve paralysis and respiratory failure... He could not be saved."

"Lord Shen'er, what should we do next?"

Shen Er said in a compassionate tone, "Give him a quick death, then dissect his body and conduct pathological research."

Senju Takayuki's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately replied, "Yes!"

Immediately, the poisoned ninja lost all vital signs.

Shen Er frowned, his fingertips forming fine, hair-like threads of divine compassion as he slowly sliced ​​open the deceased's skin, carefully examining the diseased and damaged internal organs, and checking the characteristics of the toxins one by one.

"These poisons were the work of that guy Isobu."

Just as he was focused on testing for the drugs, a lazy voice suddenly rang in his mind.

Isonais?!

Even as if waking from a dream...

If there's one major difference between Sunagakure at this moment and Sunagakure in the original timeline, it's probably the Tailed Beast transformation. Because of Isobu's existence, Sunagakure unexpectedly gained this extremely potent poison.

"What else do you know, Wukong? I need your help."

"I won't help you just like that."

Sun Wukong said arrogantly.

It lent chakra to Jinji before, but that was a transaction! It doesn't mean they became friends who could selflessly help each other. Without becoming friends, they weren't truly perfect Jinchuriki.

The implication is that they want something in return.

Shen Er immediately replied, "Two chapters of Journey to the West."

"Two times isn't enough! Isobu is my brother, my dearest friend and family..." Sun Wukong said slowly.

"Three times! I don't have time for any more."

Telling stories to tailed beasts is a troublesome task. Since the four tailed beasts cannot be released from the body and shadow clones are used to do it, the main body must do it personally.

He said it three times in one go; he'd never been this diligent, not even when handing over grain to the state.

He had already made a mental note of this, and when he was about to completely devour the tailed beasts, he would start with the Four-Tails!

"make a deal!"

Sun Wukong laughed happily, and then explained why:

"Thousands of years ago, Isobu lived in the ocean. I, Old Sun, heard from an immortal that it often ate highly poisonous marine creatures such as poison sponges and Portuguese man-of-war. It also seemed to be affected by natural energy. Once, it got sick from eating something, and then its chakra mutated."

"It can autonomously secrete toxins from its shell that are effective against ninjas. If a ninja skilled in using poison were to extract these, they could probably be developed into what you humans call poison? Poison Ninja Technique?"

“I fought with it before, and I was poisoned by it. I felt terrible for a long time.”

The Three-Tailed Fox has this characteristic too?

Shen Er looked somewhat taken aback. In his memory, the only highlight of the Three-Tails was... it seemed there was no highlight at all. From its appearance to its end, it was either being tortured or on its way to being tortured.

But after listening to Sun Wukong's explanation, it's not hard to understand.

Isobu's poison is unlikely to severely injure physically strong ninjas, and it cannot kill Jonin, only causing short-term discomfort and weakening their combat ability, but not enough to endanger their lives. However, it can exert a strong suppressive effect against ordinary soldiers and lower- to mid-level ninjas.

Shen Er's initial aim was to weaken the military power of Kirigakure and Sunagakure, which is why he manipulated the plan to divide the Tailed Beasts, causing these two ninja villages to receive the Tailed Beasts with the worst compatibility.

Later events unfolded as he had anticipated: the military strength of the two ninja villages was theoretically weakened, people's livelihoods improved, and the military was converted into civilian life.

However, the current situation is that T0 ninja villages have been weakened but there is compensation.

The threat posed by the Three-Tails Jinchuriki to top-tier ninjas is much smaller than it would normally be.

The compensation from Sunagakure was that they obtained this poison with the help of Isobu. Sunagakure was skilled in using poison, and Kirigakure would never have imagined that a tailed beast could be used in this way.

This also indirectly caused a large number of ninja casualties on the Konoha side.

The culprit behind this casualty incident was actually Zen-in-no-Tada!

He only felt guilty for a moment before quickly making peace with himself; he wasn't one to wallow in self-pity. And if Hashirama were there, he would likely have comforted him with, "This isn't your fault."

Having figured out the origin of the Poison Ninja Technique, Shen Er found it even more troublesome, since it involved the tailed beast's chakra and some unknown marine creature.

He didn't care about the lives of these junior ninjas; to him, their greatest value lay in their hearts, which could be used as consumables for his Multiple Shadow Clone Technique. However, Shen'er was already constrained by his identities as the Dean, Elder, and Chief Designer.

We must demonstrate a resolute attitude that "even a genin's life matters."

Ordinary medical ninjas cannot cure this poison, so the villagers don't think there's anything wrong with it.

But who is he?

He is Zen-in Jinji! The ninja god of the medical field!

The villagers of Konoha love creating gods, and are particularly daring to kill them. They project all their best hopes onto one person, elevating them to a divine status, but once that person proves powerless or fails to meet their expectations, they ruthlessly tear down their halo…

This is a very distinct collective mentality among the villagers of Konoha.

Therefore, we must get rid of this poison!

Lend me your power, Wukong Lama!

"Wukong, do you have any way to cure this poison? It's really important to me."

She lowered her stance and said earnestly.

It's like a saint who would negotiate with demons for the sake of all living beings.

Sun Wukong was momentarily dazed, as if he saw the figure of the old man in the feathered robe in Shen'er.

Through its observations over this period, it became clear that this Jinchūriki was very strange; not only was he always conducting all sorts of bizarre research, but he also had five hearts inside him. However, it was undeniable that he had indeed saved many people at Evangelion Hospital.

He's a good person. But so what if he's a good person? Does being a good person give him the right to imprison a tailed beast?

Sun Wukong wouldn't give in so easily. He said, "This is a different price."

"...I'll give you three more bonus chapters."

"Deal." Sun Wukong excitedly pounded the ground: "Back then, some ninjas used Isobu's poison to create poisonous ninjutsu to harm people. I personally saw the Sage detoxify those humans and warned Isobu not to help humans produce raw materials anymore."

"The immortal said that this kind of poison cannot be delayed and needs to be treated on the spot. If it is delayed for too long, the toxin will undergo complex changes and then there will be no cure."

"You need to adjust your chakra into a special form to neutralize the initial poison. Fortunately, the Sage taught me how to adjust chakra. Find those ninjas who have recently been infected with the poisonous ninjutsu, and I can provide you with this chakra."

Monkey King is so reliable!

When you tell it a story, it really takes the detoxification seriously and gets it done.

Shen Er thought for a moment and tentatively asked, "Can only I personally use this kind of chakra?"

Sun Wukong retorted, "Can't I let you have other ninjas become my Jinchūriki?"

"..."

Some long-held "rules" can be broken once and then broken again very quickly. Last time, Shen Er stayed in seclusion for nearly ten years before stepping out of the village, and this time, after only a month or so, he is about to set off for the front lines again.

but……

War, disaster, high-ranking officials, danger, front lines—these keywords combined instantly conjure up a complete, authentic American individualistic heroism story in my mind.

Unsung heroes?

No! They only regard the pursuit of fame and profit as their guiding principle.

This matter must be widely publicized.

Unlike last time, when he needed to keep a low profile to become the Four-Tails Jinchuriki, this time he's leaving Konoha to go to the front lines and become a hero. But simply issuing a public announcement telling the villagers that he's going to the front lines is such a crude and low-level propaganda tactic.

Shen Er instantly devised a four-step strategy in his mind.

Chapter 134 is a hero, and also a master of fulfilling dreams through reanimation.

Five emergency rescue teams emerged from the emergency room one after another.

Except for Shen'er, all of them wore expressions of disappointment. The result was clear: all the poisoned wounded sent back to the village died despite treatment.

Shen Er immediately ordered everyone to continue analyzing the pathology.

Two days later, Gospel Hospital held an emergency medical seminar.

During this time, rumors of the Sand Village's poisonous ninjutsu spread throughout the village, such as the body being covered in pus and certain death upon contact... The entire village was shrouded in a shadow of death.

"Let's start with the first group reporting."

"There has been no breakthrough. The structure of this toxin is too complex, and we have no way to find a solution."

“We studied a large number of desert biotoxins, but none of them matched.”

"Completely clueless..."

The result was as expected. The deadly poison derived from Isobu was in no way inferior to the Salamander poison of Sunagakure. Faced with this new poison ninjutsu, Konoha's elite medical ninjas were completely helpless.

Even though I already knew the answer, I still asked again to create a pessimistic atmosphere.

When everyone is in despair, that is the best time for a hero to step in!

Just as Shen Er was about to step forward and perform a miracle, a small hand suddenly rose from the outermost part of the audience.

All eyes in the room instantly turned to it.

The person who raised their hand was Tsunade.

Senju Takayuki, who was standing to the side, was stunned.

Wait a minute? How did his daughter get into this meeting? This isn't a place for children.

His face darkened.

Normally, it's one thing to indulge Tsunade's mischief, but this is an extremely serious emergency medical meeting, and Tsunade is absolutely not allowed to cause trouble. Even the most esteemed person cannot break the rules!

This is the family tradition of the Thousand Hands!

Longzhi was about to speak to stop him when Shen'er raised his hand to stop him.

Shen Er shook his head at him, then looked at Tsunade, wanting to see what the young Tsunade wanted to say.

This was the first time Tsunade had been stared at by so many eyes in such a serious setting, and she subconsciously felt a little nervous, her small hands clenching slightly.

But when she met Shen'er's encouraging gaze, her anxiety subsided, and she gradually calmed down. She regained the confidence she usually displayed when gambling and began to share her findings:

"My analysis suggests that the toxin originated from marine life. It underwent multiple mutations within the injured ninja's body, and by the time the wounded were sent back to the Gospel Hospital, the toxin had already undergone several transformations, rendering conventional treatment completely ineffective."
