Chapter 138: Treatment
The shocking wound on Kiuchi
Taketo's chest was wrapped in light green chakra, and in this light green
chakra, the wound was slowly healing and closing.
On the other hand, Kiuchi Taketo
looked in surprise at the source of the light green chakra—Kiba, who was
concentrating on healing him.
"You... want to be a medical
ninja?" Kiuchi Taketo said in disbelief.
Kiba didn't speak. At this time,
he was focusing on maintaining the medical chakra. This was the first time he
used medical ninjutsu on a person, and seeing Kiuchi Taketo's injury, if it
wasn't healed now, ordinary bandaging methods might save his life, but it would
slow down their return to the village.
The most urgent task now was to
return to the village and report the fact that the intelligence personnel were
killed and replaced, so the village could respond timely. Otherwise, if
Kumogakure had any plans, the village might be caught off guard.
The Land of Fire occupies the most
fertile land in the entire Naruto world, and Konoha, the ninja village, is the
strongest among the Five Great Ninja Villages, often becoming the target of
enmity. It is not uncommon for Kumogakure to be unfavorable to Konoha.
At this time, Morino Shinsuke was
burying the remains of the four Konoha ninjas on the spot. The current
situation didn't allow him to bring back these corpses. He also glanced at the
unconscious Fujiki Shigeru, frowning.
Then, looking at Kiba again, his
brows relaxed.
Medical ninjutsu?
I always feel it's a pity for this child to become a
medical ninja.
The recent battle made Morino
Shinsuke feel this pity. It had been a while since the battle ended, and he was
still recalling the scene in his mind.
At that time, the three of them
jumped down and used kunai to insert into the cliff with their backhands. After
a while of sliding, they barely stopped by using kunai and chakra on their
soles. At that time, Kiba suddenly said: "After a while, Kumogakure ninja
will definitely come over to check the situation. At that time, we will launch
a surprise attack."
They nodded in agreement, and
noticed Kiuchi Taketo's strange expression. Looking at him, they found a
bloodstain across his chest, with the flesh rolled up, shocking.
Although Kiuchi defended with his
ninja sword, he failed to defend against the strong man's sweeping knife and
was still injured. The wound wasn't shallow, so the situation was not
optimistic.
Kiuchi's injury made the situation
worse. Fujiki Shigeru was frightened and unable to fight. Only Morino Shinsuke
and Kiba could fight. On the opposite side, the strong man's strength should
not be underestimated. The reaction speed to avoid the bird flash and the knife
speed to break the bird flash indicated his strength might be higher.
Additionally, there were five Chunin-level Kumogakure ninjas...
At that time, Morino Shinsuke
planned to drag the few people above by himself to buy time for Kiba to escape,
even giving up on Kiuchi.
But he didn't expect Kiba to say,
"Kiuchi, can you persevere?"
"Of course." Morino
still remembered his disciple's expression, gritting teeth, sweat dripping
down, holding kunai with one hand, hanging from the cliff. The wound had
pulled, it must have been very painful.
"Captain Morino, hand Fujiki
Shigeru over to Kiuchi. The next battle will be carried out by the two of us.
It's not time to give up. If you give up, there's still a glimmer of hope, but
if you give up now, there will be nothing. Your life, my life, Kiuchi's life.
It's not time to give up yet!" At that time, Kiba's expression and words
felt more like he was saying them to himself.
Shinsuke Morino knew that this
seven-year-old boy was also hesitating and fearful, but he didn't give up hope
and was actively looking for a way to change the status quo. The boy's
perseverance surprised him.
Then, Kiba asked if he knew the
Shadow Clone Technique.
The answer was of course yes. The
combination of Shadow Clone and Swordsmanship could be powerful. Although he
didn't learn other ninjutsu, he did learn and master Shadow Clone. It's just
limited by his chakra; he could create two shadow clones at most. Speaking of
which, he learned the secret of the shadow clone technique from Minato.
Hearing his answer, Kiba smiled.
The child's face was suddenly full of confidence, though to Morino, it looked
like the confidence of a gambler. At that moment, he almost felt the child had
learned Master Tsunade's habit of gambling.
He even vaguely heard Kiba
muttering, "Let's take a gamble..."
Then, Kiba revealed his plan.
First, Kiba transformed into
Kiuchi, then created two shadow clones, one of which transformed into Kiba. If
Kumogakure ninjas came to check, Kiba and his transformed shadow clone would
attack, aiming for a kill. Another shadow clone of Morino would ambush one side
of the cliff, and the main body ambushed the other. When the strong man
attacked, the shadow clone would protrude and attack him.
As Kiba explained, they heard the
footsteps of two Kumo nin. They followed Kiba's plan.
Unexpectedly, in the end, those
cloud ninjas were resolved in one fell swoop.
Thinking back, Morino realized
Kiba likely knew the strong man would target him, so he had his shadow clone
transform into himself, becoming bait. Then, he transformed into Kiuchi to make
the strong man relax vigilance. The strong man likely knew the real Kiuchi
couldn't even stop his horizontal cut, so he wouldn't care.
By having another shadow clone of
himself attack, the strong man wouldn't account for Kiuchi's attack. If his
shadow clone didn't attack, the strong man might block the attack of
transformed Kiuchi, reducing the effectiveness and failing to kill the enemy in
one blow.
Unexpectedly, this child even
learned Master Tsunade's strange power. Judging by the strength, he already
obtained Master Tsunade's true inheritance.
After receiving information from
the shadow clone, Morino understood the battle. Kiba let his body ambush on the
other side, not to make up for the strong man but to get rid of the remaining Kumo
nin.
Kiuchi's situation wasn't
optimistic; they needed to resolve it quickly!
So he quickly acted. The
Kumogakure ninjas were stunned by their leader's sudden defeat. The raid was
very successful and simple.
Perhaps, these opportunities that
the Kumo nin could exploit when stunned were also part of Kiba's plan!
Morino turned his eyes back from
Kiba, closed his eyes to mourn the reinforcements. When he turned his head
again, Kiba had already withdrawn his hand, wiped the sweat from his forehead,
and said, "How is it?"
Kiuchi Taketo slowly sat up,
touching his chest. The wound had healed. Although there was still some pain,
it was fine.
Kiba's medical ninjutsu is already so powerful? Only
two months! If he went to learn medical ninjutsu when he disappeared, it would
only be two months now.
Kiuchi Taketo looked at Kiba, his
face pale and stern, but his eyes full of astonishment.
Is this... a real genius?
At this time, Kiba's gaze had
already moved away, as Morino Shinsuke walked past him and picked up Fujiki
Shigeru.
"Hurry back to the village
now!" Shinsuke Morino ordered.
Kiba took a breath. The medical
ninjutsu just now consumed a lot of chakra.
Sure enough, it was correct not to use the shadow
clone. If I did, I might not have been able to heal Kiuchi.
So tired...
However, it seems there's no way to rest! Back to
the village from here...
It will take several days!
Thinking about it, Kiba's face was
slightly bitter as he was about to stand up.
But the next moment, his face
changed, and he maintained a half-squatting posture.
Strange... why can't I stand up?
Legs... legs are weak...
