Chapter 170: Fear of Blood
Tsunade-sama... can't perform surgery anymore!
Although Yuriko was young, she had
a lot of experience. She had been learning medical ninjutsu since she was a
child. When she was in the ninja academy, she showed her talent in medical
ninjutsu and was chosen to become a medical ninja at that time. There was an
urgent shortage of medical ninjas in the village, and as a talented medical
ninja, she received focused training with excellent teachers and considerable
opportunities.
By the age of twelve, she was
already working at Konoha Hospital and had become a qualified medical ninja.
At this moment, she looked at
Tsunade's appearance and made a judgment.
I can't stand it any longer...
Yuriko glanced at the pale-faced
Kiba. The instrument beeped again, a warning that the patient's vital signs
were already very weak.
Can't help it? My chakra is completely drained.
Kiba... is this the end?
Yuriko's vision darkened, but
images filled her mind. She was an orphan, alone since childhood, and had been
bullied by bad boys at the ninja academy. They pulled her hair and called her
ugly.
That day, it was Kushina who
stepped forward and beat the boys to the ground. Yuriko could still recall
Kushina standing in front of her with her red hair fluttering.
"You stinky boys, if you dare
to bully Yuriko, I will never forgive you!"
At that moment, with her hands on
her hips, Kushina said those words with her unique verbal tic. Yuriko knew she
finally had a friend. Kushina was her first friend, and because of her, she met
Minato, Mikoto, Huoma, and Shinsuke.
Kushina's strong figure was
imprinted in her heart. Since then, being strong had become her motto.
No! No, I can't let him die like this!
He was one of Kushina's most
beloved disciples. When meeting Kushina, she often talked about her three
lovely disciples.
If Kiba dies, Kushina will be very sad!
Yuriko gritted her teeth, trying
to squeeze out every trace of chakra in her body. If she stopped the treatment
now, Kiba would die faster. Once the medical chakra was stopped, the scars on
the body surface and the wounds on the blood vessels would take Kiba's life.
She had healed some wounds, especially the burst blood vessels, but if the
treatment stopped, the untreated blood vessels would rupture, and there would
be no way to recover.
But Tsunade looked at Kiba and the
blood on his body, her hands trembling uncontrollably, panic surging in her
heart.
What can I do now? What else can I do? According to
Kiba's medical certificate, there were more than a hundred fractures on his
body, and many blood vessels burst, especially in his hands. Fortunately, no
arteries were injured, but blood continued to ooze from these blood vessels.
Blood... blood...
Thinking of the word blood,
Tsunade almost took a step back, feeling even weaker.
At that moment, memories of her
time with Kiba over the past month flashed in Tsunade's mind. Coincidentally,
although the two looked alike and had different personalities, their focused
expressions were exactly the same.
Nawaki...
Thinking of this, Tsunade took a
deep breath and temporarily suppressed her fear of blood.
There were more than 50 comminuted fractures in the
whole body, but fortunately, the bone fragments did not enter the blood
vessels. They rushed out of the wound along with the blood. As long as all the
bones are connected and a blood transfusion is performed, he can be out of
danger. But it must be quick, or it will be too late.
But...
Tsunade looked at her
uncontrollably trembling hands.
I can't perform surgery anymore! It won't work
without surgery. Now... what else can I do...
At that moment, Tsunade's eyes met
Yuriko's.
True, I can't perform surgery, but here...
A smile appeared on Tsunade's
face.
Isn't there someone who can perform surgery?
"What's your name?"
Tsunade asked suddenly.
Yuriko was taken aback. She was
the only one in the single ward with Tsunade at that time, and the staff was
tight.
"Yuriko," she replied
weakly.
"Very good! Yuriko, I will
direct, and you will perform the surgery! If you can, go back to Kiba. You
really want to save Kiba, right?" Tsunade smiled confidently.
Hearing this, Yuriko was taken
aback. She was already at her limit and couldn't even perform the surgery!
At that moment, she saw Tsunade
raise her trembling hand and slowly place it near her mouth, her eyes full of
shock.
She was horrified. What had made
Tsunade-sama, one of the Sannin, so frightened?
Crack!
Tsunade bit down, blood spilling
from her thumb.
Tsunade's hand trembled even more,
but she closed her eyes and hit the ground with her palm.
Summoning Jutsu!
The tadpole rune array spread out
from her hand, and with a "bang," a cloud of white mist exploded.
After the white mist dissipated, a
slug that reached Tsunade's calf was summoned.
"Lady Tsunade? Have you been able to summon
me?" The slug's voice was gentle but surprised.
The slug knew about Tsunade's
hemophobia and fear of blood. Using blood as a medium for summoning was already
an extremely difficult technique for Tsunade.
"Now is not the time to talk
about this, slug. Split up and heal Yuriko and Kiba," Tsunade said
seriously.
"Yes, Tsunade-sama."
The slug glanced at Kiba and
Yuriko but didn't say much. It immediately split into two slugs, climbing onto
Kiba's body and Yuriko's shoulders.
"Don't worry, this is my
summoning beast. Next, tell me about Kiba's situation, and I will instruct you
to perform the surgery!" Tsunade said.
Yuriko had no resistance against
slugs. When the slug climbed up, she shuddered.
However, she soon showed a look of
surprise. After the slug climbed up, a steady stream of chakra poured into her
body. Although it couldn't replenish her own chakra, it made her feel much
better. The chakra was medical chakra, stimulating the rejuvenation of body
cells exhausted from over-extraction of chakra.
With this, she had the physical
strength to perform the surgery. After all, she was in the hospital, and it
wasn't necessary to use chakra for the surgery. Some tools could achieve the
purpose of the surgery.
The slug's medical chakra was
strong, and Kiba's wounds were already recovering. What needed to be done now
was to connect the bones!
"Yes!"
After her spirit improved, Yuriko
nodded. She knew that Tsunade-sama's method was the best option now.
At that moment, a little nurse
hurried in.
"No... it's not good..."
the little nurse said, out of breath.
"What's wrong?" Tsunade
asked with a frown before Yuriko could speak.
"Kiba's blood type is a rare
RH blood type, and there is no such blood type in the blood bank!" The
little nurse said, panting.
What!
Tsunade and Yuriko's bodies shook
simultaneously. Without matching blood, blood transfusions couldn't be made.
Even the slug's medical chakra couldn't produce blood!
Kiba's bleeding was too severe for
medical ninjutsu alone.
"Are you... are you kidding
me!" Yuriko saw Kiba's face getting paler and the heart rate chart on the
instrument fluctuating very little. She lost her voice.
Now that Tsunade-sama is here and can perform
surgery, unexpectedly... Kiba's blood type is a rare blood type!
Even Tsunade closed her eyes
tightly, her face full of unwillingness and grief.
This time, there's no way to recover! Kiba is
already dead. Even if we find someone with a rare blood type, unless they
appear here immediately, it will be futile. This is the death of Kiba!
"Then, use my blood! I'm also
RH blood type!"
A clear and firm voice came from
the door.
Both Yuriko and Tsunade were
startled. They opened their eyes to see Yukina, bandaged all over, holding a
drip stick, standing at the door.
"Lady Yukina, but you also have a flow..."
Yuriko's expression changed.
Yukina was seriously injured and
had lost a lot of blood. A blood transfusion for Kiba could be
life-threatening!
Yukina was a direct descendant of
the Hyuga family, her status not trivial...
"As long as you can save
Kiba, it doesn't matter how much blood you have!" Yukina interrupted
firmly.
The little girl's eyes were full
of determination.
"Okay! Get ready for a blood
transfusion immediately!" Tsunade looked at Yukina. From her eyes, Tsunade
saw no hint of joking. This little girl was truly risking her life to save
Kiba.
"But, Tsunade-sama..."
Yuriko hesitated slightly.
"Stop rambling. If something
happens, I will take responsibility!"
Tsunade waved her hand, making the
final decision.
