Chapter 106: Who Is the T0 Medical Ninja of the Shinobi World?
"Looks like we're in trouble!"
On the way there, Asuka grabbed his hair, his expression filled with worry as he stared ahead.
Who would have thought? Who would have thought!
No, it must be Indra's chakra wheel that's cursed.
Hadn't Uchiha Madara already died several times?
The first time he died, shouldn't Indra's chakra have left him?
Even if it hadn't left him the first time, Uchiha Madara had definitely died a second time.
And it still hadn't left?
Remembering something someone had said on a forum, the corner of Asuka's mouth twitched involuntarily.
During the Fourth Shinobi World War, Uchiha Madara and Uchiha Sasuke were both reincarnations of Indra's chakra. So how could they coexist?
[Because after Uchiha Madara was revived, he no longer possessed Indra's chakra. Indra's chakra had already reincarnated into Sasuke's body after Madara's death. The one revived through Edo Tensei was only Uchiha Madara's soul and the power he possessed during his lifetime.]
Uchiha Madara had now been revived twice.
So what the hell was going on?
At that moment.
Asuka looked up at the blue sky, unconsciously recalling the scene.
Originally, Indra's chakra had already left Uchiha Madara's body. It had passed through the wall and flown into the sky, heading toward Mikoto, who was waiting at the hospital to give birth.
But because Uchiha Madara had suddenly been saved by him using a forbidden technique…
Indra's chakra wheel was now stuck in midair.
It didn't know whether it should go to Uchiha Sasuke's corpse or return to Uchiha Madara.
This had also caused Mikoto's difficult labor, leaving many of Konoha's medical ninjas helpless.
Mm!
This was the most logical explanation he could come up with.
When he arrived at the Medical Department, he saw a large group of people anxiously standing in the corridor, completely blocking the passage.
Asuka grabbed a medical ninja and asked,
"How's the situation?"
Seeing Asuka suddenly appear, the medical ninja breathed a sigh of relief, and his previously solemn expression softened somewhat.
As a medical ninja who had interacted with Asuka before, he knew that Asuka's medical ninjutsu was extremely advanced.
Far deeper than what he had displayed on the surface.
This time, when the deputy director nominated him as captain of the medical team, practically the entire Medical Department had raised no objections.
Lady Tsunade had been gone for too long.
Thinking of this, he pointed inside and whispered,
"I heard something went wrong."
Something went wrong?
Asuka stared blankly at him.
I asked you how things are going, and you tell me something went wrong?
If you don't know, just say you don't know.
As though sensing the irritation on Asuka's face, the medical ninja scratched his head and stammered,
"It seems… something is stuck. Only the obstetrics and gynecology specialists know the exact situation."
???
Asuka stroked his chin with one hand, his expression thoughtful.
He had been a "medical ninja" for many years.
Although he wasn't an obstetrician or gynecologist, he had spent some time in that department.
Normally, if the placenta became impacted, the methods used would include an episiotomy, forceps, and abdominal pressure.
In extreme cases, a Caesarean section would be performed.
The obstetricians and gynecologists had far more experience than him.
They must have already tried all sorts of methods.
And yet it was still stuck…
Thinking of this, Asuka pushed through the crowd and squeezed his way to the front.
Seeing Asuka covered in sweat, the deputy director anxiously said,
"You're finally here!"
Looking at the old man's shiny bald head, Asuka instinctively praised him.
"Director, your wisdom…"
"Stop flattering me!"
The deputy director's mouth twitched as he snapped irritably,
"Look at the time."
"Heh~"
Asuka coldly looked at the ungrateful old man and said,
"Sir, I really admire your leadership abilities. You always manage to find something for me to do."
"Why don't you resign and give the position of deputy director to me?"
"We're not discussing that."
With that, the deputy director pulled Asuka aside and lowered his voice.
"This time, something really has gone wrong. Even the obstetricians are helpless."
Hearing this, Asuka's expression became serious as well.
He frowned.
"What exactly happened?"
"Everything was going smoothly, but an hour ago, Uchiha Mikoto suddenly felt a cramping pain in her abdomen."
"Normally, that wouldn't be a big deal. The obstetricians are very experienced."
"It's normal for a pregnant woman to experience pain during labor."
"But the strange thing is, the people inside said that the child in Uchiha Mikoto's womb has chakra."
"Isn't that absurd?"
No.
It wasn't absurd at all.
After all, she was the vessel of Indra's chakra.
Asuka took the white coat someone beside him handed over, pushed open the delivery-room door, and decided to go inside to assess the situation.
"Captain of the Medical Team!"
"You're finally here."
"We were really worried."
Looking at the medical ninjas gathered around the delivery table, Asuka waved at them and walked over.
"Ah~!"
The moment he entered the delivery room, a shrill scream rang out.
Looking at Uchiha Mikoto, who had suddenly screamed, Asuka frowned.
"Why are you screaming?"
"I'm a doctor now. And not just any doctor—I'm the trump card of Konoha's Medical Department."
"Don't treat me like one of your clan members."
Seeing Asuka approach, Uchiha Mikoto instinctively pressed her legs together and frantically searched for something to cover herself with.
"Don't come over."
"Idiot."
The corner of Asuka's mouth twitched.
He stopped and casually picked up a piece of cloth nearby before tossing it to Uchiha Mikoto.
Only after Mikoto covered herself did Asuka approach and ask,
"Lady Mikoto, do you feel anything unusual?"
Uchiha Mikoto saw Asuka looking at her with clear eyes.
She took a deep breath and whispered,
"Just now, I suddenly felt a sharp pain in my abdomen."
"Then I suddenly didn't want to give birth anymore."
"Can we wait two months?"
Listening to Uchiha Mikoto's forceful yet somewhat silly voice, Asuka clicked his tongue and stood up, walking to the side.
Pregnant women's intelligence really does seem to decline.
How am I supposed to put it back?
At this moment, a medical ninja came over and whispered into Asuka's ear.
"Captain, the main problem right now is that Lady Mikoto has two types of chakra inside her body."
"One belongs to the newborn. The other belongs to Lady Mikoto herself."
"There is a strange connection between these two chakras."
"If we force the delivery, it will definitely cause harm to Lady Mikoto."
"We've never encountered a newborn possessing chakra before birth."
Asuka leaned against the wall and looked at the energetic Uchiha Mikoto.
A look of realization appeared on his face.
Two chakra networks.
One belongs to Uchiha Mikoto.
The other must be Indra's, right?
So Indra's chakra wheel has arrived…
He didn't know whether that was the whole story.
After all, if the Nine-Tails could be split into two halves, who knew whether Indra's chakra was complete?
"Heh~"
Since you've already arrived, I don't care whether you want to give birth or not.
With that thought, Asuka called the medical ninjas over and instructed them,
"You all go outside. I'm going to perform a secret clan technique. It's not suitable for you to watch."
"This…"
"Captain, is that really appropriate?"
"It's fine. Yakushi Nonō, stay."
"Okay."
After driving everyone else out, Asuka locked the door from the inside.
Click!
As the lock clicked into place, Uchiha Mikoto looked up.
Huh?
Where did they go?
Seeing that only Asuka and Yakushi Nonō remained in the room, Mikoto frowned and asked in confusion,
"Where are they?"
Asuka casually made up an excuse.
"Oh, they went to eat. Let's have a chat."
Seeing Asuka walk toward her, Uchiha Mikoto warily shrank back.
"I don't need you here. Let Fūgaku come in and stay with me."
"You talk too much!"
With that, Asuka and Yakushi Nonō swiftly tied Uchiha Mikoto's limbs to the delivery table as though they had rehearsed it beforehand.
Before Mikoto could react, Asuka stuffed a piece of white cloth into her mouth.
Seeing the terror in Uchiha Mikoto's eyes, Asuka lifted the white cloth covering her, rolled it into a ball, and placed it over Mikoto's head, covering her eyes.
If you're afraid of me seeing you, I'll cover your eyes.
If you can't see me but I can see you, then it's basically the same as me not seeing you.
Afterward, I'll blame everything on Yakushi Nonō.
Once everything was ready, he looked at Uchiha Mikoto's swollen abdomen and took a deep breath.
"Yakushi Nonō, prepare hot water and towels."
"The baby is about to be born."
???
Yakushi Nonō stared blankly at Asuka.
Is a Caesarean section really that fast?
Before she could voice her confusion, she saw Asuka place his palm on Uchiha Mikoto's abdomen and move it back and forth, as though determining the position of the fetus.
"Do you need help?"
"No."
The moment he finished speaking, Yakushi Nonō saw him gently press two index fingers against Uchiha Mikoto's abdomen.
Then he lightly dragged his fingernail across it.
Uchiha Mikoto's abdomen was cut open.
Slice…
???
Watching Asuka casually cut open Uchiha Mikoto's abdomen, Yakushi Nonō rubbed her eyes in disbelief.
Then she looked again.
She watched Asuka approach her while holding the swollen abdomen in both hands.
Fear filled Yakushi Nonō's eyes.
But her excellent professional ethics made her try once again.
This is genjutsu.
This is genjutsu…
After disrupting her own chakra, she opened her eyes again and looked toward Asuka.
"Ah~!"
A shrill scream rang out.
At that moment.
Yakushi Nonō covered her mouth with both hands, terror filling her eyes as she instinctively took a step backward.
Thud!
Seeing Yakushi Nonō collapse heavily onto the floor, Asuka grabbed her ear irritably.
"Stop screaming!"
"This is medical ninjutsu! Medical ninjutsu!"
"Uchiha Mikoto isn't dead."
As he spoke, as though afraid Nonō wouldn't believe him, he reached over and pinched Uchiha Mikoto's thigh.
Yakushi Nonō stared at the wildly twitching thigh, terror filling her eyes.
Even after being separated from the body, the leg can still twitch…
This is supernatural, right?
Smack!
At that moment, Asuka slapped Yakushi Nonō and calmly said,
"Prepare the hot water."
"Ah~ Ah~"
Yakushi Nonō froze.
She looked at Asuka's calm expression, then at Uchiha Mikoto struggling on the delivery table.
Her voice was filled with confusion.
"She really isn't dead?"
Asuka looked down at the abdomen he was holding in both hands before gesturing backward with his chin.
"She isn't dead."
"This is a medical ninjutsu I developed recently."
"Remember, you have to keep it a secret for me, okay?"
"Ah~"
Yakushi Nonō remained unable to recover for a long time.
She pressed her right hand firmly against her chest and slowly calmed her racing heart.
Is this medical ninjutsu?
It's terrifying.
Looking at Asuka's focused expression, Yakushi Nonō subconsciously swallowed and murmured,
"Lady Tsunade shouldn't be this powerful."
"No. Lady Tsunade absolutely doesn't possess medical ninjutsu this powerful."
Has he already surpassed Lady Tsunade?
Thinking of that indignant little boy who had once stood outside the hospital, he had now grown into such an outstanding person.
What an exceptional member of the Uchiha clan…
Hmm?
She blinked.
Then she looked at Asuka's back again.
A flash of light suddenly reflected off her glasses.
Should I tell Danzo about this?
