Naruto: The Wind Calamity - Chapter 643: Medical Ninjutsu
Chapter 643: Medical Ninjutsu
“Compared to the inevitability of death, fate is rather cute.”
Hearing Fujin’s words, the genins became quiet. A few seconds later, Lee’s shoulders dropped. In a depressing tone, he said, “That’s right. No matter what we do, we won’t be able to escape death!”
Naruto added sadly, “Yeah… Even if I become the Hokage, I’ll eventually die.”
Sakura thought, ‘I never thought of it. Someday I’ll be separated from my Sasuke and there’s nothing I can do to stop it.”
Seeing their depressed students, Kakashi and Guy panicked. Guy placed his hand on Lee’s shoulder and said, “Don’t worry about that now Lee. You are still young. Now is the time to enjoy your youth and not worry about old age!”
Kakashi immediately followed up, “That’s right. Instead of worrying about dying due to old age, you should focus on getting strong so that no one can kill you before that. You don’t want to end up regretting not fulfilling your dreams just because of this, right?”
Hearing their words, Lee, Naruto and Sakura snapped out of their thoughts. Lee said, “Ah, that’s right! My flames of youth are still burning!”
Sakura thought, ‘That’s right. I’m still just a young girl! Why am I getting worried about my old age?’
Even Naruto realized the same. Fujin said without taking his eyes off the fight, “What are you guys getting so depressed about? I just meant that just because you’ll eventually die, doesn’t mean that you’ll commit suicide today, right? In the same way, stop worrying about fate.
Look at Hinata fighting despite knowing that she’ll lose while you three are getting depressed about something that’ll happen decades from now.”
Fujin’s words immediately made them feel embarrassed. At the same time, they felt better about their future. Even though their paths wouldn’t be easy, they felt better, knowing that at least there was a path in front of them.
“But you’re wrong, cousin Neji. I can see it now that even more than me, it’s you who are torn and suffering… Caught between the main and branch families of our clan!” Hinata replied to Neji’s neverending taunts.
Her words caused Neji to lose control of himself! He rushed at Hinata fully intending to kill her! Fortunately, the jounins took action. Guy appeared behind him and grabbed him, Kakashi grabbed his arm, Hayate appeared in front of him and was ready to knock him out if he continued while Kurenai would have knocked out his legs had he continued!
Neji said, “Well, why are the other Jounins getting involved? Special protection for the Main family, eh?”
Guy immediately said, “Enough Neji. You swore that you wouldn’t drag your issues with the main family here.”
As they were speaking, Hinata’s heartbeat faltered. She immediately coughed out blood and dropped to her knees, before lying on the ground.
Naruto and Sakura immediately went to check on her. Seeing Naruto, she wondered as her eyes closed, ‘Naruto… I wonder if maybe I managed to change just a little bit…’
She fell unconscious. While Naruto was looking at her, Neji said, “Hey, you, Mr. Failure! A couple of words of advice. A true shinobi would have too much class to make a spectacle of themselves by cheering during a serious match.
And one more thing. You may as well accept who you are. Once a failure, always a failure!”
Under normal circumstances, Naruto would have felt insecure by Neji’s sentence even though he wouldn’t show that openly. However, thanks to the talk he just had with Fujin, Naruto just felt that Neji was a giant idiot!
However, he was still pissed about how Neji treated Hinata. He asked, “You wanna try me?”
Neji just chuckled in response. Naruto was about to charge at Neji when he heard, “Cool it, Naruto.”
Naruto was surprised and looked behind him to see Fujin standing there. He didn’t sense Fujin’s moment at all. Even Neji’s smile disappeared as he hadn’t seen Fujin’s movements either. However, he wasn’t too disturbed as he had seen Fujin do that thousands of times.
However, one particular ninja had terror in his eyes, though he did well to hide it. Baki thought, ‘I didn’t sense him move! It was as if he appeared out of thin air! He’s fast, ridiculously fast! No, it wasn’t entirely his speed. He moved when everyone was paying attention to those two kids. That’s why I didn’t feel his movements at all.
However, this is even worse. If he’s able to grasp such opportunities during battle, I’ll have a very difficult time surviving against him! The news propagated by the Hokage wasn’t false. He really might have defeated Orochimaru!
I need to inform Lord Kazekage. No, I need to inform the entire council! We may need to call off this entire invasion. Otherwise, the consequences will be dire!’
No one noticed Baki’s panic. Neji saw that Fujin was looking at him and became puzzled. He asked, “What is it?”
Fujin casually replied, “A true shinobi may or may not cheer during a match, but they surely don’t lose control of their emotions during a battle. One false step could mean your death on the battlefield. Keep it in mind the next time.”
Neji frowned on hearing Fujin’s words but didn’t argue back. After all, Fujin’s words were true. Hinata’s last sentence had made him lose all control. Had he been fighting a stronger opponent, he could have paid with his life.
Suddenly, Hinata coughed a lot of blood despite being unconscious. Her face had become very pale. Kurenai immediately checked on her and thought grimly, ‘Oh no, she’s going into ventricular fibrillation! He really intended to kill her!’
“Kurenai, move aside.” Kurenai had just glanced towards Neji when she heard Fujin’s words. She became confused and asked, “What is it? Hinata needs medical care immediately!”
Fujin replied, “That’s why I asked you to move aside.”
Fujin extended his palm towards Hinata’s chest and released Yin chakra to check the state of her injuries. His action caught nearly everyone off guard. Many wondered, ‘Fujin is a medical ninja? Since when?’
Kurenai, on the other hand, became a bit nervous and thought, ‘Is he good at Medical Ninjutsu? Hinata’s condition is bad.’
She subconsciously glanced towards the medics, who noticed her gaze and moved towards her. However, none of them disturbed Fujin due to his reputation and the fact that he was inspecting Hinata properly.
Fujin inspected Hinata’s injuries and thought, ‘Tsk, that guy was ruthless. No wonder she didn’t recover from these injuries even after a month…’
He withdrew his Yin chakra as he stopped inspecting Hinata. He used Mystical Palm jutsu and began healing her. The medics immediately became respectful on seeing that jutsu and thought, ‘His technique is good. He inspected properly and his healing technique is very powerful.’
As Fujin continued healing Hinata, the medics realized that none of them were as good as Fujin at healing! Hiruzen thought, ‘Not bad. Yoshi, Isamu and others did a good job.
Even though Fujin drained them so much that I had to give every Jounin rank Medical ninja in the hospital a couple of weeks of vacation, having another excellent Medical ninja is a good thing for Konoha.
The fact that he’s a rank S ninja and extremely powerful means that no one can neutralize him. However, since he is a fighter, I can’t have him waste all his chakra on healing during a battle. He can only heal himself and perhaps Elite Jounins in the heat of a battle.’
At the same time, Baki analyzed, ‘He is a medical ninja as well? It should mean that he is decent with poisons as well. We can’t count on killing him with poisons. Not to mention, if he has been guided by the Legendary Sannin Tsunade, it could mean that Konoha has another ninja who can neutralize all our poisons on the battlefield.
However, the chances of that should be low considering how young he is. Regardless, we will have to keep it in mind in the future.’
As Fujin continued healing Hinata, color appeared on her pale face. In around 3 minutes, Fujin healed all her internal injuries before opening up the chakra points Neji blocked.
He finally got up and said, “She isn’t in danger, but her internal injuries were quite serious. Keep her under observation and ensure that she doesn’t do any strenuous activities for at least a couple of weeks. And of course, no fighting or practicing Gentle Fist for that period.”
The medics nodded and said, “Alright, Councilor. We’ll take over from here.”
They quickly checked Hinata once again before carrying her away. Kurenai sighed in relief and said, “Thank you, Fujin.”
Fujin nodded and said, “It’s no big deal.”
With Hinata taken away, the area was finally cleared and the electronic board began deciding the next matchup. It displayed – Gaara Vs Lee!
