Konoha: Offer your heart to the Hokage!

Due to the urgency of the situation, he was immediately taken to the Gospel Hospital and handed over to Shen for personal treatment.

The ninja files indicate kinship relationships, stating that Shimura Heizo was Shimura Danzo's third uncle.

Simultaneously.

The file specifically notes that Heizo Shimura had signed an organ donation pledge.

"Shimura..." Jin murmured to himself, "Give me your heart."

He casually closed the medical record, walked to the operating table, and raised his hand: "Tianci Line!"

Black lines pierced his palm, cutting open his chest cavity and revealing his damaged, weakly heaving heart.

Shen Er gazed quietly at that beating heart.

The Shimura clan is famous in the ninja world for its Wind Release technique; almost all of its members possess Wind Release chakra, and Shimura Heizo before them is no exception.

A genuine Jonin-level Wind Release heart was a great temptation for him.

Currently, of the five heart slots in his body, only one was taken from the Fire Release heart of an Uchiha Jonin, and there is still a great deal of room for improvement in the other slots.

He could have easily stood by and watched as Heizo Shimura's life force waned, then pushed open the operating room door and announced that he had done his best. Then, it would have been perfectly logical to hand over the body to the Evangelismos Hospital for disposal…

The Shimura family should thank him.

But Shen Er did not choose to do so.

Ninjas with damaged hearts are rare, making this the perfect opportunity to plant a parasitic seal deep within their hearts. Opportunities to seize hearts will plentiful in the future, but chances to complete the parasitism without leaving a trace are few and far between.

The Byakugan's ability to see through things isn't absolute, but it's certainly possible to see the "Heavenly Compassion Line" inside an injured person's body.

This has been repeatedly verified in more than two years of clinical practice. If abnormal chakra lines suddenly appear in a heart that should be healthy, it is too conspicuous and easily arouses suspicion.

That's why targeting a ninja who already has a heart injury is the safest course of action. The wound, sutures, and parasitic seals are all mixed together, so even if the Byakugan glances at them, they will only be mistaken for medical chakra traces left after surgery.

Hashirama and Tobirama are still alive, and they are extremely cautious in their actions.

But what if the two pass away...

Given his current prestige and status within Konoha's medical system, even if he were to openly plant parasitic seals on injured individuals in the future, and even if the Hyuga clan noticed something amiss and raised questions, it would not shake his resolve.

By then.

The entire Gospel Hospital will become Shen's living heart bank.

He then pulled himself back to his senses.

First, they took a small part of Shimura Heizo's body.

Then, the damaged heart was wrapped with Heavenly Compassion Thread, and deep suturing was performed at a speed far exceeding that of conventional medical ninjutsu.

At the same time, a tiny, almost imperceptible black thread silently burrowed into the deepest part of the heart, and was perfectly stitched up and covered along with the wound, leaving no trace of anything unusual.

Sensing the resentment and anxiety within his heart, even the corners of his mouth curled up almost imperceptibly.

Parasitism, complete.

If he so desired, he could simply inject chakra into the parasitic seal within Shimura Heizo's body, and that person would instantly become his puppet. Even betraying the village was within his grasp.

A powerful Jonin at the peak of his career had his future cut short, becoming a ticking time bomb that could be detonated at any moment.

Shimura Heizo's breathing gradually became steady, and his vital signs stabilized.

"untie."

He even formed a hand seal with one hand.

As he moved, Shimura Heizo's eyes rolled back, forcibly waking him up, but his empty, cold gaze revealed that his body had been taken over by the Earth Grudge.

After verifying the integrity of the parasite, Shimura Heizo withdrew his chakra and lay back down on the bed.

During the period of being parasitized, the target will lose consciousness.

She then turned and walked to the sink, slowly washing her hands.

After finishing the procedure, he walked out of the operating room, removed his mask, and announced to the Shimura clan members waiting outside:

"The surgery was a success. Jonin Shimura Heizo survived, but he will need to recuperate for at least a month."

"Thank you so much, Lord Shen!"

At this time.

Yakushi Yaju approached and said, "Dean, all your other surgeries this morning have been postponed and will be performed by us. The Hokage wants you to attend a meeting at the Hokage Building."

problem occurs!

Chapter 36 Hashirama Leaves the Village: The Source of the Tragedy (Please Read Further)

Shen Er put down what he was doing and went to the Hokage Building.

In a small conference room.

Hashirama, Tobirama, Uchiha Chiri, and several heads of important departments of the Hokage Building have all arrived.

Shen Er knew from this situation that things were not simple.

"So you've arrived." Hashirama nodded in acknowledgment. "Please sit down."

Uchiha Chiri pulled out a chair for Shinji.

In the conference room, Hashirama sat at the head of the table, Tobirama to his left, Jiri to his right, and Shinobu to the second seat on the right.

After sitting down, she subtly glanced at Hashirama.

He had considered that the battle at the Valley of the End would one day break out. After the battle, should he take advantage of the opportunity to heal Hashirama and plant the Parasitic Seal in him?

After careful consideration, she eventually gave up on the idea.

Earthly parasites are not omnipotent.

The Yin-Yang Release technique is powerful, and those with special physical constitutions or those who have mastered taijutsu to the extreme are its natural enemies.

If he makes a mistake, even the slow-witted Hashirama will notice something is wrong.

Then everything will be exposed.

It's better to wait until Hashirama dies, take his heart, and then peacefully use the Impure World Reincarnation technique.

Seeing that everyone had arrived, Hashirama, who was in the main seat, slowly began to speak: "Let me start with the most important thing, everyone. I will be leaving the village for a while."

A word stirred up a thousand waves.

Even Shen Er was somewhat surprised.

Why did Hashirama Senju leave the village at this time? Did the battle at the Valley of the End break out prematurely?

Sarutobi Sasuke quickly asked, "Hokage-sama, where are you going?"

“A very remote training ground.” Hashirama’s expression was serious. “If everything goes smoothly, I might be back in ten days to two weeks. If something unexpected happens, it might take a year or two.”

"In short, during my absence from the village, Tobirama will temporarily assume the position of Hokage and handle daily affairs. The other departments will continue to operate as usual and perform their respective duties."

As he spoke, Hashirama glanced at Shen.

After entrusting this important matter, he specifically emphasized that in his absence, it was imperative to ensure the normal operation of both the Gospel Hospital and the Ninja School.

Improving both education and healthcare are fundamental aspects of people's livelihoods that Konoha residents care about most.

Hashirama presided over the meeting and finalized the remaining trivial matters one by one.

After the meeting, Hashirama kept Shinji behind alone.

The closed-door talks began.

Hashirama Senju asked, "So, have you ever practiced Sage Mode?"

"When I traveled through the ninja world, I heard some related legends, but I don't know the specifics."

"I see." Hashirama laughed heartily. "I thought the longevity of the Zenin clan might be related to Sage Mode energy, but it seems it's just a matter of physical constitution."

Instead of continuing the discussion with Hashirama on this topic, she asked, "Has something happened that made you suddenly decide to practice Sage Mode, Hokage-sama?"

Then he realized that Hashirama was going to practice Sage Mode.

He had previously fallen into a misconception.

He believed that Hashirama Senju, the God of Shinobi, had mastered Sage Mode long ago. But the reality before him contradicted his understanding.

This ninja god, now over forty years old, is unmatched except by Madara Uchiha. He is a powerhouse in the ninja world, yet he has still not reached the limit of his own power.

He continues to grow stronger!

This also reminded Shen'er of a classic entrance poem mentioned in a Chinese animation she had seen in her previous life.

You may be the protagonist of this work, while he may be the protagonist of that era.

As long as Hashirama is still alive...

Can't I have other thoughts on my mind?

"It's nothing much. Actually, I should have gone to learn immortal arts a long time ago, but I kept putting it off because the village needed me. Now that the village is on the right track, I don't need to worry about everything, so I have some free time."

After explaining, Hashirama slowly began, "I called you here mainly to ask you for a favor..."

"Is it about Tobirama?" Shinji immediately guessed the answer.

Hashirama nodded: "Yes."

“After I taught Tobirama a lesson last time, he did behave a lot better. But as his older brother, I know his personality all too well. He can still restrain himself a bit when I'm around, but once I'm gone, I'm afraid no one will be able to control him.”

Tobirama, the number two figure in Konoha, is still like a child in Hashirama's eyes. Even though Tobirama is indeed his younger brother, it's still too embarrassing to hear.

"My biggest worry about leaving the village this time is Tobirama. I'm afraid he'll rekindle his old desires and go back to human experimentation."

“I know your character, and you abhor human experimentation, which is an insult to life. So I want you to keep an eye on him, both openly and secretly. If he has any such thoughts, you…”

Hashirama thought for a moment, seemingly considering that Shinobu was no match for Tobirama: "You should report this to Mito. No matter how outrageous Tobirama is, he still has to listen to Mito."

Even the worst-case scenario was raised: "What if it's Mito-sama's turn, and Tobirama doesn't listen either?"

"I will have Mito carry out my orders and work with Uchiha Chiri to secretly take down Tobirama, and then I will deal with him when I return."

Hashirama's expression was very serious. "I will not let even Tobirama off the hook for anything that harms the village."

The atmosphere in the room gradually froze.
