Chapter 167 Transition and Planning
It's just an eye transplant surgery, which can only be considered a minor operation for a medical ninja of Tsunade's level.
Xiaonan watched the entire process and in the end, he only had two thoughts in mind: fast and smooth.
Take it out, press it in, and connect the nerves.
Soon, the operation was over.
"how do you feel?"
Tsunade looked at the Rinnegan in Lu Nie's left eye socket and asked softly. Transplanting a Rinnegan into the medicine jar of the Nara clan is really equivalent to slow murder.
"Not bad." After feeling his body, Lu Nie answered seriously.
The burden was indeed heavy, but it was not unbearable. Anyway, he didn't need the Samsara Eye to fight, so as long as he didn't overuse the Samsara Eye's pupil techniques, the consumption and burden would naturally be greatly reduced.
Of course, in terms of adaptability, Luna is definitely not as good as Nagato. That is to say, without adopting other means, and simply using his own talents to accommodate and accept the Rinnegan's eye techniques, he would be slow and far inferior to Nagato.
Fortunately, for Lu Nie, it is enough to use it as a research tool.
"Since you can bear it, do you want to transplant the other one as well?" In Nagato's left eye socket, a blood-red three-magatama Sharingan was spinning inside, as if curious about the ability of the Sharingan. Nagato was getting familiar with the power of the new eye.
Although he lent out one of his Rinnegan, the three-magatama Sharingan did not cause a drastic drop in Nagato's combat effectiveness.
"No. This is just right." Lu Nie thought about it and shook his head. The burden of a pair of samsara eyes was still a bit heavy.
But after the transplant, Lunie mentally evaluated that it was still possible to bear the long-term consumption of a Rinnegan.
After the operation, Tsunade, who was about to leave, took the initiative to say in front of Yahiko and the other two, "Let Konan come with me. During the time when she returns the Rinnegan, I will teach her as much as possible. As for how much she can learn, it's up to her."
"Thank you very much!" Yahiko immediately bowed deeply. Even if the Rain Village could not establish a medical ninja system in the future, it would be a great opportunity for Konan to learn medical ninjutsu from the famous Tsunade.
It’s just like when they met Jiraiya and were taught by him for three years before they are where they are today.
"Don't tell me this! I was just forced, understand?" Tsunade still had resentment towards Lu Ni who decisively sold her out.
He even cursed Orochimaru in his heart for saving her from the depressed days of living a life of idleness and waiting for death.
Looking at Konan packing up and reluctantly saying goodbye to her two companions Yahiko and Nagato, as well as the bodyguard Kakuzu, Tsunade suddenly felt touched.
In these three people, she seemed to see the childhood figures of herself, Jiraiya, and Orochimaru.
"You have a good relationship with them. You even let them borrow the Rinnegan without hesitation." Tsunade calmed herself down, turned her head and snorted at Lu Ni beside her.
As a veteran, she was of course well aware that the willingness of Yahiko and others, including Nagato, to lend one or even a pair of Rinnegan had little to do with the so-called medical ninjutsu system.
The human, material and financial resources required for this system are simply not something that a small ninja village can afford. Even if it puts everything it has into it, it may not succeed. In the end, it may even become a wedding dress for other large ninja villages.
Yahiko, Nagato and the others agreed to lend out the Rinnegan because it was Lune who asked for it. The new Rain Shadow and his companions had an unexpected trust in Lune.
If someone else, even their nominal master Jiraiya, were to do this, it would probably be difficult.
Lu Nie did not answer Tsunade's words.
Tsunade didn't ask any further questions.
After Konan packed up her belongings and said goodbye to Yahiko and Nagato, Kane and the others took her back to Orochimaru's underground experimental base through the black cavity.
After leaving Konan to Tsunade, Lu Nie plunged into the research of the wooden stake.
With the Rinnegan in his possession, Lu Nie unsurprisingly felt that there was some kind of secret connection between his eyes and the wooden stake.
The stake is part of the sacred tree!
Sure!
Under this secret connection and the powerful power of the Rinnegan, the Rinnegan is like the most sophisticated detection instrument, unravelling the secrets of the wooden stake and gradually presenting them to Lu Nie's eyes bit by bit.
For the remains of the sacred tree, the Samsara Eye may be the best observation and analysis tool. It can allow Lu Nie to see things that many other instruments and tools cannot show, nor can they allow him to feel.
This can at least allow Lu Nie to quickly understand everything about the wooden stake and quickly advance the analysis process.
It just consumes more chakra and takes more effort. But these are not impossible to overcome!
Feeling dizzy, Lu Nie took out a tube of green medicine and poured it into his mouth, closing his eyes and waiting for the medicine to take effect to relieve his physical fatigue and mental pain.
Except for Luna who stayed at the underground base all day and night, Tsunade often took Shizune and Konan to the battlefield, performing the duties of a medical ninja while teaching Konan and Shizune medical ninjutsu.
Shizune had been with her since she was little, and even though she hadn't taught her very carefully, she had a very solid foundation as a medical ninja, and was able to master and apply some advanced medical ninjutsu. Even some surgeries that required higher requirements, under her command, Shizune could get started and achieve perfect surgical results.
Although Konan is a little worse than Shizune, her basics are not bad, so Tsunade doesn't need to bother to teach her the basics again. Even in some medical operations, Tsunade saw the shadow of Shennong in Konan's techniques.
However, what Xiaonan is more willing to learn is the knowledge of medical treatment and talisman making. It is good to become an excellent medical ninja, but Xiaonan knows very well that what the Rain Country needs now is not an excellent medical ninja, but a system that can produce healing talismans on an assembly line.
So after confirming Konan's intentions, in addition to taking Konan with him to practice and practice medical ninjutsu, he also took Konan with him to the research project on improving the healing talisman that Lu Nie gave her, and let her act as his assistant.
During war, the number of wounded will never decrease, and Tsunade, an experienced medical ninja, taught Konan and the others how to deal with various types of injuries without reservation.
Tsunade did not preside over any of the operations, leaving all to Shizune and Konan, she was only responsible for guiding them from the side. It was as if her hemophobia had not yet been cured, this was Orochimaru's request.
The Iwagakure army recently attacked the border of the Fire Nation again, resulting in the capture of several border defense stations of the Fire Nation.
At this point in the war, the border of the Fire Nation was actually no longer able to prevent the high-intensity infiltration and invasion of Iwagakure.
If they were not afraid of being attacked from both sides, and had to eliminate all the Konoha troops on the border, Iwagakure would have been able to attack Konoha Village in one go. Tsuchikage Ohnoki would have led his army to Konoha Village long ago. After repelling the main force of Iwagakure again, the Konoha frontline ninjas who had gained some breathing space were treating the wounded while quickly swallowing the soldiers' food pills to restore their physical strength and energy to deal with the next wave of attacks from Iwagakure.
Orochimaru, dusty and bloody, finally appeared in front of Tsunade and the others again.
"Do you need me to help?" Tsunade asked Orochimaru. Having gotten rid of her hemophobia, she could be considered a high-end fighter.
"It's not the right time yet." Orochimaru shook his head, "If you take action now, it won't really play a decisive role.
Your medical ninjutsu and the summoning beast slug have helped me relieve a lot of stress."
"Are you using me to plot against Ohnoki?"
Although it was a question, Tsunade's tone was very certain and unhappy. The master and the disciple seemed to be of the same lineage, both using her as a bargaining chip and using her to death.
The slug was one of her symbols, and Tsunade didn't believe that Iwagakure would be unaware of her presence on the battlefield for so long.
During this period of time, Konoha's ninja casualties have dropped significantly, and Iwagakure will definitely find out the reason. Konoha's top leaders did not hide Tsunade's return in the name of boosting morale, which means that it is not difficult for Iwagakure to obtain the information that she appeared on the battlefield between Konoha and Iwagakure.
It was impossible to use her as a hidden trump card now. After Iwagakure knew her information, they would definitely be on guard against her.
Given her understanding of her partners, there was no way Orochimaru was unaware of this.
"Why not?" Orochimaru didn't care about Tsunade's dissatisfaction. He was a pragmatist.
"You have to know your plan, right?" Tsunade clenched her fists and waved them in front of Orochimaru.
"You haven't been on the battlefield for a long time. Oonoki will definitely find out your movements and intelligence. I plan to leak the information that you suffer from hemophobia."
Orochimaru answered calmly, as if he didn't see Tsunade's threat.
"Using me as bait?" Tsunade immediately understood Orochimaru's plan.
Since it was confirmed that she suffered from hemophobia, Ōnoki would definitely send an assassination team to kill her no matter what.
Being able to get rid of Tsunade would have a huge impact on both Konoha's morale and the outcome of the battlefield.
Whenever a team engages in a battle, they must first eliminate the opponent's medical ninja. If Tsunade herself was not extremely powerful and difficult to behead, she would have died in the Second Ninja World War.
If it were to be revealed that she was suffering from hemophobia and had lost her ability to fight, the cunning and treacherous enemy Ohnoki would never let it go.
"I will keep asking Ōnoki to increase the stakes, and I will ask Minato to leave the front line first. Kane and Shisui will also go there at that time. As a guard, it would not be good if I was not there at that time."
Orochimaru obviously wanted to inflict heavy damage to the elite of Iwagakure. Of course, there were all kinds of games involved. If he wanted the other party to act according to the plan, he had to be comprehensive and well prepared beforehand.
"Minato?" Tsunade, who had overcome her fear of blood, nodded. She had heard the name of Yellow Flash so many times that her ears were calloused. As a powerful weapon against Iwagakure, if Minato Namikaze was not transferred from the front line, Ōnoki and Iwagakure might not dare to launch an assassination attack against her.
By that time, Minato Namikaze will definitely be restrained by the Iwagakure, and it will depend on whether Minato can get rid of it and then use Flying Thunder God to rush back.
"Shisui and Kagane, are you sure?"
Tsunade has no problem with Minato, but she has doubts about Shisui and Luna. One of them is a researcher, and her impression of Luna's strength is still stuck in a few years ago. After returning to the village, she heard the most intelligence about Luna, and it was all about his research talent.
As for the mission, although three S-level missions were completed, judging from the mission report, it was all due to Shisui in the team as the main combat force. Lu Nie's role in it was just a supporting role and brain.
The other party hasn't even truly become a jonin.
But Shisui is now blind. No one can be sure how much strength a blind Uchiha without the Sharingan can maintain except himself.
As for red beans?
As for her behavior of wanting to develop ninjutsu from time to time, which always causes explosions, Tsunade always feels that her role in the team is somewhat similar to Jiraiya. Her real combat ability is questionable.
In order to get rid of her, the assassination team sent by Ohnoki must be the elite among the Iwagakure. Once the battle begins, Tsunade does not want anything unexpected to happen to Shikagawa.
"Don't think of Lu Ni as a pure researcher. He, like us, has mastered the perfect Houyu mode. Even if he is just an auxiliary, his shadow secret technique will surprise you."
Orochimaru gently corrected Tsunade's deeply rooted impression of Kaname.
"Also, where's Luna?" Orochimaru glanced around and didn't see Luna. Finally, his eyes fell on the laboratory in the base.
"In the laboratory." Tsunade's eyes moved to the direction of the laboratory and replied, "He seems to have made a major discovery from the wooden stake he brought back from the Wet Bone Forest recently. He has not left the laboratory for two consecutive days."
"I'm out."
The door of the laboratory suddenly opened, and Lu Nie walked out. His face was tired, but his eyes were exceptionally bright.
When Orochimaru saw the Rinnegan in Kaname's eye sockets, he couldn't help but widen his eyes for a moment.
"Rinnegan?" Orochimaru's voice was hoarse and full of curiosity.
"Ah?" Lu Nie touched his left eye. "It's just a tool for studying the wooden stakes. I have to say, it's very useful. If it weren't for this eye, the research on the wooden stakes wouldn't have been so smooth and fast."
"Tsunade said you made an important discovery on that wooden stake. What did you find?" Orochimaru asked curiously.
"The origin of chakra?" Lu Nie tilted his head.
Orochimaru's expression suddenly became serious, and the smile on his face disappeared, but his golden snake-like eyes became bright, just like Lu Nie's.
The origin of Chakra?
This is really, really makes people feel itchy and curious!
