Aokawa stood at the edge of the massive crater, holding the soft, fragrant Kurenai Yuhi in his arms.
He calmly raised his other hand and pointed into the Void Realm toward Nii Yugito at the bottom of the pit.
"Gentle Fist: Rain of Light."
Countless Chakra needles as thin as cow hair appeared around his fingertips.
As the Chakra needles shot out rapidly from his fingertips, the surrounding needles also burst forth in unison, falling like a sharp Rain of Light. They accurately struck various vital points on Nii Yugito's body, completely sealing the remaining Chakra within her.
Kurenai Yuhi's small hands were still covering her own eyes, not daring to look at Nii Yugito's exposed body at the bottom of the pit.
Aokawa didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He performed a small Earth Release to cover Nii Yugito's sensitive areas, then said helplessly, "Alright, you can let go now."
Kurenai Yuhi peeked through the gaps in her fingers. After confirming that the snowy-white skin was tightly covered, she finally let go, her face flushed red.
Her cheeks were still burning hot, like ripe apples. "How can she be so thin yet so big in there? Even her two tips came out... it's just too embarrassing!"
At the thought of this, she subconsciously covered her blushing cheeks in embarrassment, but accidentally pulled at her wound.
"Hiss!" Kurenai Yuhi sucked in a breath of cold air.
"I'll help you handle the wound simply first," Aokawa said, feeling distressed as he saw the bloody, mangled wound on her abdomen.
He carefully set Kurenai Yuhi down. A green light emerged from his hand as he began to treat her.
A moment later, the bleeding from Kurenai's wound had stopped.
Just then, a series of coughs and the sound of spitting out water came from not far away.
Kakashi, Asuma Sarutobi, and the others were moving their bodies awkwardly. They lay on the ground, soaking wet, with messy hair, looking indescribably comical.
The two of them smiled at each other upon seeing this and walked over one after the other.
"Cough, cough... Aokawa, you bastard..." Asuma Sarutobi was about to flare up when he saw Aokawa's face, which was as pale as paper, and the obedient look of Kurenai Yuhi behind him.
The rest of his words got stuck in his throat, unable to be spoken.
The battle just now was practically a natural disaster. This 'dead last' whom he had looked down upon since they were students, this pretty boy who only had a handsome face...
Now, by his own strength alone, he had head-on crushed an enemy that their entire team couldn't contend with, including a Tailed Beast in its complete form.
This visual and psychological impact caused a storm in his heart. A mixture of jealousy and resentment was blended with shock and frustration, various emotions intertwining to an extreme complexity.
"Cough... Aokawa, next time you save someone, could you use a gentler method?"
Seeing Aokawa walk over, Kakashi complained while spitting out the sand and mud in his mouth.
That giant wave had come too suddenly; he felt like he had been tumbled in a washing machine dozens of times.
"Exactly!" Uchiha Tetsubi, who was nearby, spat out a large mouthful of water and said weakly, "Actually, I think I could have run away by myself just now."
"Right, you couldn't even move, and you're talking about running." Aokawa knelt down and began using Medical Ninjutsu to treat Kakashi's injuries. "It's good enough that you're alive, yet you're still being picky."
Among the group, Kakashi's injuries were the most severe, so he prioritized treating him.
In medical practice, deciding the order of treatment based on the severity of the injury is the most basic principle.
Kakashi looked at the fine beads of sweat on his forehead and said with a raspy voice, "Your Chakra..."
After successive battles with that level of intensity—various large-scale Ninjutsu, Chakra Arrows, and finally that terrifying barrier Formation...
Given the Hyuga Clan's Physique, his Chakra must have hit rock bottom long ago.
"It's fine. I'm just simply stabilizing your injuries first, otherwise you won't last until we reach the camp for treatment." Aokawa's voice was flat, but his movements didn't hesitate in the slightest.
Pure and precise healing energy surged into Kakashi's body, prioritizing the repair of damaged internal organs and blood vessels, while other non-fatal injuries were ignored for now.
His Chakra reserves were insufficient now, and the Konoha group were all injured. He could only allocate resources based on the principle of saving lives before treating wounds.
Gradually, Kakashi's body, which had become cold due to excessive blood loss, began to warm up.
Seeing this, Aokawa stopped the treatment and walked toward Rin Nohara.
"Hey! Aokawa, it's my turn." Uchiha Tetsubi started shouting when he saw this.
"Didn't you just say you could run?" Aokawa quipped without stopping his pace.
"But the pain in my body is making me realize that I'm actually not that tough."
"A real man shouldn't be afraid of pain."
Uchiha Inabi scolded Tetsubi upon seeing this, then turned to Aokawa. "Aokawa, treat me first so I can get up and stand guard!"
"Tsk!" Uchiha Tetsubi spat disdainfully.
"Enough, you guys!" Aokawa waved his hand. "I'm going by the severity of the injuries. I'll treat yours after hers. I know what I'm doing."
He knelt beside Rin Nohara as planned, and the green energy in his hand slowly flowed into her body.
"Nn... this is..." The latter gradually woke up under the stimulation of this warmth.
Feeling the green energy from Aokawa's hand precisely repairing her damaged organs, the light in Rin Nohara's eyes grew brighter and brighter. "So... so amazing..."
Born with a love for Medical Ninjutsu, she stared obsessively at every detail of Aokawa's technique.
She could clearly feel Aokawa's Chakra dividing into countless tiny units—some responsible for stopping bleeding, some for stimulating cell regeneration, and some for connecting severed nerves. The division of labor was clear, and the efficiency was terrifyingly high.
This skill was even more powerful than the team leader who had been in charge of teaching them during her internship at the Hospital.
She completely forgot the pain in her body, her mind filled only with that miraculous Medical Ninjutsu, her eyes shining as she watched.
That look of admiration caused an indescribable sense of bitterness and jealousy to surge into Uchiha Obito's heart.
He opened his mouth but didn't know what to say.
Should he interrupt Aokawa from treating Rin?
In the end, he could only lower his head in silence.
By the time Aokawa had performed preliminary treatment for the Konoha ninja one by one, his Chakra was almost depleted.
Kurenai Yuhi looked at Aokawa's pale face with eyes full of concern. She placed her hand on his and said softly, "Are... are you alright? You've consumed too much Chakra, take a rest quickly."
"I'm fine." Aokawa shook his head. He took out a silver metal cylinder from his Ninja Tools bag, unscrewed the cap, and held it in his hand.
The silver cylinder wasn't just for attacking; the high-concentration energy within it was extraordinarily effective for recovering Chakra.
Unlike ration pills, which required body cells to convert heat into Chakra, the silver cylinder could directly replenish it. The effect was much better than ration pills and had no side effects.
The only thing was that replenishing it was inconvenient; the high-concentration Chakra needed to be released and absorbed bit by bit in the hand.
If poured directly into the mouth, the Chakra would release instantly in the body, and the meridians simply wouldn't be able to withstand it.
Just then, text appeared before his eyes.
