--------------------
The old man regretted it instantly.
He had seniority. He had prestige. Even without snatching this credit, he could continue enjoying his cushy position. There was absolutely no need to follow this kid Qianyu into madness!
…He had no confidence he could save these two. He just wanted to roll the dice!
At this thought, the old man's attitude softened instantly. He looked at Qianyu with feigned sincerity.
"Young man, healing the sick and saving lives is no game. This old one merely wished to offer you some guidance earlier. There's no need to be so… aggressive."
Without waiting for Qianyu to reply, the old man turned and bowed slightly to Sakumo.
"Lord Sakumo, since this young man possesses such confidence, I shall yield this rare opportunity to the youth. He needs it more than I do."
Hah. Scared and running, but wrapped in such lofty words. Disgusting.
Qianyu sneered. "Old sir, since you're so concerned about us juniors, why not stay and oversee the procedure? If any mishaps occur during the treatment, you can step in and guide us."
At Qianyu's words, a look of contempt flashed across the old man's face.
My status. Your level. You want me, to assist YOU? What a beautiful dream.
He was about to refuse. But a glance at Sakumo's expressionless face beside him made him shudder. He immediately changed his tune. "No need for you to say it! This old one intended to do just that!"
"Heh."
Since his goal of scaring off the old man was achieved, Qianyu couldn't be bothered with him further. He turned to Sakumo.
"Lord Sakumo, please give the order to prepare. Coordinate with me fully later. I intend to treat both of them simultaneously."
Just as Qianyu said earlier, performing 'Healing Regeneration' separately risked the other patient not holding on. So, he'd save them both at once.
"Qianyu… are you truly certain?" Sakumo asked again, his expression grave.
It wasn't unreasonable for Sakumo to worry. Qianyu was too young. Sakumo hadn't seen his medical skills firsthand. He genuinely felt uneasy.
He's certain of nothing! The old man internally cursed.
This was the 'Healing Regeneration Technique'! Even trying his luck, he'd only dare one at a time. This brat wanted to do two? Was he insane? And you believe him?
Qianyu smiled. "Lord Sakumo, the reason I said 'ninety percent' is because this technique requires a sliver of luck. But my confidence in my own ability is one hundred percent."
"…Alright. I believe you."
Sakumo looked deeply at Qianyu for a moment, then nodded without hesitation.
Sakumo had a keen eye for people. Just like in the original timeline, where he saw Gai becoming Kakashi's future rival at a glance, he could see Qianyu's genuine, rock-solid confidence.
If you doubt someone, don't use them. If you use someone, don't doubt them. That was the way of a leader.
"From this moment, during the treatment, everyone follows Qianyu's command," Sakumo ordered.
"Yes, sir!" The assembled medics, including the reluctant old man, responded in unison.
"Yosh!"
Qianyu strode into the center of the dark, inky seal array. He clasped his hands together. Strands of chakra flowed from his body into the ground like water dripping into an inkstone, stirring ripples that connected with the array beneath his feet.
Fizz… Hiss…
Under Qianyu's chakra infusion, the black seal script writhed to life, crawling across the floor. Then, like tendrils, they snaked into the bodies of the two men lying at the array's center.
Qianyu closed his eyes. His perception extended along the seals. The internal conditions of the two patients became crystal clear in his 'mind's eye.'
"Everyone, follow my guidance! Pour in the vitality! Don't stop!" Qianyu commanded.
"Yes!" Green light erupted in the room as various medical ninjutsu were unleashed.
With their support, Qianyu began meticulously cleaning the internal wounds and stimulating cellular regeneration at the damaged sites.
It was going to be a long, grueling process.
…
Time lost meaning. The medics were still pouring their efforts. The green light in the room had become so thick it was almost tangible.
For the reward. For the REWARD! AAAAAAH!
The assisting medics had been rotated out several times. But Qianyu, the core of the entire technique, had no replacement. He could only grit his teeth and endure.
"HEALING — REGENERATION!!"
With a roar, Qianyu expelled the last dregs of his chakra, pouring everything into the array.
At the same moment, flesh buds writhed at the wounds of the two men in the center. Healing. Visible to the naked eye.
"Hah… Hahhh…"
Once the wounds were completely sealed, Qianyu couldn't hold on any longer. He collapsed onto his backside, gasping for air, his lungs burning with a fiery sting.
[Ding! Treatment successful! Congratulations, Host, for obtaining: 'All Medical Ninjutsu +20% Effectiveness (Permanent)'!]
[Ding! Treatment successful! Congratulations, Host, for obtaining: 'Sunagakure's Hundred Poison Secret Arts'!]
The system's prompt chimed. Instantly, Qianyu felt his back stop aching, his lungs stop hurting. He felt rejuvenated!
"A 20% permanent healing boost! And Hundred Poison… Huh? Hundred Poison Secret Arts?!"
Qianyu was stunned. Countless memories flooded his mind: breeding venomous creatures, crafting poison sacs, employing hidden weapons—over a hundred techniques in total.
"Wait, I'm a medical ninja. Why are you giving me this?!" Qianyu internally complained.
The system's rewards were miraculous, directly internalized. Meaning, Qianyu was now a master poisoner.
Sigh. A medical ninja. What use do I have for these skills?
[Ding! Host has achieved 'Resurrection from the Brink of Death' through personal ability for the first time! As an achievement reward, Host has obtained one-time use of the skill: 'True Resurrection'!]
"There's an achievement reward too?"
Qianyu was startled, quickly pulling up the skill description.
['True Resurrection': Use this skill on a deceased person whose time of death does not exceed two hours and whose body remains intact. Can bring the target back to life. Host is guaranteed to obtain a High-Quality Reward!]
"Holy shit, System, you're for real? Actual resurrection?!"
After reading the description, Qianyu slapped the floor in excitement.
This skill was insane. Not only did it give someone close to him an extra life, but it also guaranteed a high-quality reward!
Last time's high-quality reward gave him Senju lineage and perfect chakra control.
A reward for bringing someone back from the dead couldn't be worse than that, right?
"No wonder… no wonder…"
Watching Qianyu excitedly pound the floor, Sakumo nodded thoughtfully.
Finding joy in saving lives, overjoyed at pulling someone back from death's door… No wonder this child possessed such superb medical skill at such a young age. This was the so-called 'healer's benevolent heart.'
"Holy shit, this kid!"
The old man nearby almost popped his eyeballs out.
He had stubbornly refused to rest, staying in the room precisely to witness Qianyu's failure… Who could have imagined the brat actually saved both of them?
This was absurd. Even Lady Tsunade might not be able to save both at once!
"…Sigh."
Life wasn't a novel. The old man wasn't some brainless villain. He'd only clashed with Qianyu over potential benefits.
Now, having witnessed Qianyu's terrifying potential, he offered a bitter smile and joined the other medics in praise.
"This old one was blind earlier. You truly possess skill far beyond your years. I am ashamed. Each generation births its own talents… One really can't fight getting old…"
Sakumo, noticing the old man's awkwardness, spoke up.
"Alright. Everyone except Qianyu, out. Call the guards at the door. Have these two restrained."
"Yes, sir!"
Following the other medics, the old man left the room, his spirit utterly crushed.
"Qianyu, you've truly rendered a great service this time!"
Once everyone was gone, Sakumo looked at the two men in the array's center, a rare hint of genuine pleasure on his face.
