Konoha: The thirty-year-old Uchiha is not motivated.

"Well"

Suddenly, a Root member clutched his neck and groaned in pain, startling the crowd who were curiously watching the huge figure in the distance.

"poisonous!"

Experienced members of the Root organization detected a faint, strange odor in the air, and their expressions changed drastically.
"Quickly put on your gas mask."

"Captain, he seems to be dying."

After the other members quickly put on their protective gear, they began to check on their colleague who had just collapsed. Lifting the mask, they found the man's face was bluish-purple, his pupils were dilating, and he exuded an aura of death.

"Antidote pills."

The Root member, addressed as captain, calmly made a decision. They carried Konoha-issue antidotes, sufficient to counteract over 90% of known toxins.

"what!"

"My head is spinning."

"Does anyone have any extra antidote pills? I accidentally ate some a few days ago when I was craving something sweet."

However, after taking the greenish-blue antidote pill, the Root member's condition not only failed to improve, but the other members present also began to experience dizziness and started rummaging through their bags for antidotes.

It seems the toxins had already invaded, but the rate of infection varied from person to person.

"How come we're alright?"

Seeing the chaotic state of the Root members, Minato and the others exchanged bewildered glances. Fortunately, Uchiha Gin spoke up to explain, which dispelled their doubts.

"Because your combat suits have built-in air filtration systems, airborne toxins have no effect on you."

"Grandpa Yin, can you save them?"

As fellow Konoha ninjas and colleagues in the same unit, Minato and the others naturally couldn't just stand by and watch the Root members who came to their aid be wiped out.

"I"

"Everyone, take the wounded and evacuate as soon as possible."

Before Uchiha Gin could answer, Senju Hisama's slightly somber voice rang out from the side. Turning her head, she saw that Hisama had put on a pig-snout-shaped gas mask at some point, her face full of solemnity.
"Even the most professional medical ninja would need at least an hour to analyze the composition of this unknown toxin, which even antidote pills cannot cure."

Noticing everyone was staring at her, she explained in a cold voice,
She believed in Uchiha Gin's medical skills, but in the current harsh environment, it would take much longer than she had said to accurately prepare the antidote.

"Lady Hishin is right, let's take the poisoned brothers and retreat!"

"Captain, he has already..."

The Root members looked at their captain with grief. In his arms lay the person who had been poisoned first, whose entire body had turned a bewitching purple, clearly on the verge of death.

"Take his body and get out of here!"

The captain gritted his teeth. He never expected that the first casualty of the Root would come from his own team. It seemed that he would not be eligible for the Root's commendation and awards this year.

“If you take him back now, he’ll probably be on his way to the Pure Land before you even cross the border.”

Just then, Uchiha Gin approached, reached out and pried open the eyelids of the poisoned Root member, looked at the other's dilated pupils, and gently shook his head.

"Are you saying that you can cure it now?"

Senju Hisa, sensing the underlying meaning in Uchiha Gin's words, widened her eyes in surprise.
Although she wasn't an expert in medicine, her skill level was still better than 90% of the medical ninjas on the market, so she was confident that her judgment wouldn't be wrong.

"Put him down."

Uchiha Gin didn't answer; instead, he gestured for the Root ninja holding the poisoned person to put him down.
"you"

This Root ninja, whose figure and attire clearly indicated she was female, hesitated upon hearing Uchiha Gin's words.

"What, you don't want to save him?"

No, I remember you are.

"That's right, I am the number one in Konoha."

"A gynecological expert!"

"Uh"

Upon hearing the other person refer to one of his titles, Uchiha Gin, who was about to introduce himself, froze.
“I went to the hospital last month and made an appointment with your specialist.”

It turned out to be a patient he had treated before.

"I remember you, child of the Yamanaka family. Your periods are back to normal now, aren't they?"

Uchiha Gin, noticing the strange looks from those around him, explained in a serious tone,
"Gynecology is just one of my hobbies."

"I'm not trying to be mean, but how could you, a grown man, do this?"

Faced with Senju Hisama's questioning, Uchiha Gin shook his head with a sorrowful expression.
"What does it matter if I personally suffer some unfounded criticism in order to help women get rid of the torment of illness?"

"what?"

"Lady Hishin, even if you are a big shot in the village, I will stand up and speak out for Dr. Gin."

Before the bewildered Senju Hisana could refute, the Root member who had been treated by Uchiha Gin stepped forward, staring intently at her.
"As a woman myself, how can you insult a good doctor who is dedicated to women's health like this? Don't you feel ashamed?"

"That's right, that's right. Dr. Yin is a really good person. He even waives medical fees for single women who are in difficult circumstances."

"Dr. Yin is a true friend to women!"

"Long live Grandpa Yin!"

No, Kushina, what are you doing here?
"."

Looking at the group of women standing behind Uchiha Gin, ranging from the oldest to the youngest, Senju Hisama was speechless for a moment.

"Alright, let's not fight amongst ourselves now. I'll treat him first."

Seeing that the internal conflict was about to escalate, Uchiha Gin raised his hand to stop the agitated group of women behind him, then flicked his finger across the skin of the poisoned ninja's chest, revealing a warm, blue light.

"Is this... a technique for extracting minute ailments?"

Senju Hisa, recognizing the medical ninjutsu, was utterly speechless.
"You actually know this technique?"

Although the Fine Ailment Extraction Technique is classified as Rank B, it is only because its learning difficulty is not high. However, medical ninjutsu emphasizes proficiency the most, and knowing how to do it and being proficient are two different things.

There are very few medical ninjas in the entire Hidden Leaf Village who can perfectly perform the technique of extracting small ailments in clinical practice.

Is it strange that I know this technique?

While performing the Fine Ailment Extraction Technique, Uchiha Gin turned his head and raised an eyebrow at Senju Hisami, his face completely lacking the seriousness expected of a medical ninja.

"Be serious!"

Seeing that purple toxins were already seeping from the wound on the poisoned ninja's chest, Senju Hisa quickly spoke up to warn him.
"I can do this kind of minor surgery with my eyes closed."

Gently shaking his head, Uchiha Gin slightly tightened his grip, activating the Fine Plague Extraction Technique to its maximum power. Within seconds, a large lump of dark purple poison, enveloped in bluish-green chakra, appeared in his hand.
"Healed?"

"It's not over yet."

Gin glanced at the Root members whose faces had regained color, then placed his hand on their waist. The Light of the Fine-Tailed Extraction Technique flashed again, and several crystals of varying sizes instantly burst forth from their bodies.

"This is?"

Everyone stared curiously at the crystal that Uchiha Gin had casually tossed aside.

"I also helped him remove his kidney stones."

While all the Root members went to check on the poisoned victims, Uchiha Gin, carrying a dark purple poison, approached Senju Hisama and spoke with a strange look in his eyes.
"You actually asked me how I know this technique? You white-haired guy, you're just someone who put a name on the Book of Sealing, right?"

"Nonsense! I have carefully reviewed every technique in the Book of Sealing!"

Senju Hisami's eyes darted away, a guilty look creeping across her face, but her words remained stubbornly defiant. Uchiha Gin tossed aside the poison he had already analyzed, a hint of doubt on his face.
"Then how could you not know that the Fine Disease Extraction Technique is a medical ninjutsu I developed?"

"Uh"

Seeing the mocking look in Uchiha Gin's eyes, Senju Hisa's pretty face flushed red.
"Me, me."

Just as she was at a loss, she suddenly noticed the inexplicable smile in Uchiha Gin's eyes, and Senju Hisama's thoughts instantly became clear.

"No! The Book of Seals doesn't contain any technique for extracting minor flaws!"

"I don't recall saying that the Book of Seals contained a technique for extracting minor flaws, did I?"

That darn curly hair!
Seeing Uchiha Gin's wicked smile, Senju Hisa was so angry she almost ground her teeth to powder, her slender fingers bobbing back and forth between raising and not raising them.

"Boom!"

"retreat!"

At this moment, a dense purple poisonous fog was approaching from afar. Senju Hisa finally chose to give Uchiha Gin a chance and coldly told the jubilant Root members to retreat.

"Grandpa Yin, what are you doing?"

When Minato and the others saw Uchiha Gin still fiddling with something, driven by curiosity, they went over and discovered that he was mixing several very suspicious bottles of medicine together. The liquids of different colors shimmered with an eerie light, and the scene was quite creepy.

"If the poison in them isn't eradicated, it will eventually erupt, and even the Sage of Six Paths won't be able to save them then!"

After preparing the antidote according to the correct proportions, Uchiha Gin handed the bottle, which shimmered with a rainbow glow, to Minato.
"The ratio of medicine to water is 1:100."

"Thank you, Grandpa Yin!"

Minato accepted the medicine bottle with a look of delight and admiration in his eyes.

"You two should go back now; we have other tasks to complete."

Pointing to Senju Hisama, whose face was ashen, Uchiha Gin waved to the four children.

"Grandpa Yin, you be careful."

Knowing Senju Hisama's status and strength, the group didn't say anything more and turned to chase after the Root team in the direction they had retreated.

"Indeed, bringing you here was a wise choice."

Senju Hisa glanced at the numerous medicine bottles in Uchiha Gin's hand, her face full of confusion. If she hadn't dragged Uchiha Gin along before setting off, that Root ninja, and even the entire Root squad, might have perished on this battlefield.

"It's alright. Just settle the bills for me when we get back. The accompanying fee, lost wages, surgery fee, and medication fee. Just give me a total of one billion."

"You really dare to ask for it."

Seeing Uchiha Gin scribbling away in a notebook, Senju Hisami couldn't help but roll her eyes.
Even close brothers keep clear accounts!

Are we brothers?

Seeing that Senju Hisami was preparing to renege on her debt, Uchiha Gin had no choice but to compromise and speak in a more conciliatory tone.
"Then it will be included in the bride price, and you can ask for less later."

"what?"

You'd better explain yourself clearly: whose dowry was it?!

After making the half-joking remark, Senju Hisama looked up at the figure confronting the two tailed beasts, her eyes filled with seriousness.

"What is that guy?"

In front of the four-tailed and five-tailed beasts crouched a plump salamander, its size no less than that of any of the tailed beasts, and even appearing to be larger in weight.

However, unlike the summoned beast of Hanzo described in the intelligence, this salamander's cyborg body, besides showing extensive signs of artificial modification, was also covered with a dense network of tubes filled with a large amount of unidentified purple liquid.
"Boom!"

Several steaming exhaust pipes stood upright behind them, the source of the continuous purple poisonous fog surrounding them.

Upon hearing Senju Hisama's probing question, Uchiha Gin couldn't help but retort.

"You're supposed to be an expert in this field, can't you see such obvious signs of modification?"

"Of course I know that, but where would a small place like Amegakure get this kind of technology?"

"Maybe they paid for the training?"

"You're talking nonsense! If this kind of technology could be bought with money, I'd pay double!"

"Is that really true!"

"Uh?"

Seeing Uchiha Gin's eyes suddenly gleaming with golden light, Senju Hisama's gaze sharpened, her eyes filled with suspicion.
"Tell me honestly, does this have anything to do with you?"

"Is it there or not?"

"Is it true or not? You dare to lie and ask for double the bride price!"

"If I had to say, there's actually a tiny bit."

Seeing that Senju Hisama's slight anger seemed genuine, Uchiha Gin could only chuckle awkwardly and make a gesture of holding a stick, indicating that he did indeed bear a small part of the responsibility.

the other side,
The five-tailed fish facing off against the steamed salamander shared the same bewilderment as Senju Hisama. After scrutinizing its opponent from all angles for a long time, it couldn't help but nudge the four-tailed fish beside it.

"Old Sun, this guy is different from the one we swallowed last time."

"The smell hasn't changed, ouch!"

Four-tailed fish sniffed the purple poisonous mist in the air, and after being choked by a loud sneeze, it confirmed that the two were the same salamander.

"Then how did it end up looking like this?"

"Isn't it normal for things to change like this? Don't we all change?"

For once, the Four-Tails regained its senses in the human world, and with a single sentence, it completely bewildered the Five-Tails.

like
indeed so.

All tailed beasts that have been connected to the Knight System have unlocked the mechanical tailed beast form. However, the Five-Tails, which prioritizes speed, does not like to fight in that bulky form, so it has rarely been seen using it.

"Iwa ninja, I will no longer allow you to run rampant on this land."

Just as the two beasts were whispering amongst themselves, a voice devoid of any human emotion rang out above the salamander's head.

Senju Hisana and Uchiha Gin craned their necks to look, and saw a burly, long-haired man standing on the mechanical platform at the head of the salamander, coldly staring at the two tailed beasts, his eyes flashing with a chilling red light.
"That guy is... Hanzo?"

Based on her physical characteristics, Senju Hisa quickly identified the man.
"Holy crap! Are you even human?"

Suddenly, Uchiha Gin, who was standing to the side, blurted out a strange swear word, causing Senju Hisama to frown.
"Can't you have some manners, you curly-haired guy?"

"If you knew the truth, you would have exploded even more violently than I have."

Uchiha Gin shook his head with a complicated expression. From Senju Hisama's perspective, Hanzo on top of the Salamander's head might still be a normal human being.
But in her perception, it was clearly an ultimate cyborg pieced together from mechanical prosthetics, the kind that could physically transform into a monster.

"Ugh"

Oh dear, I never thought even your teacher could misjudge me!
"You said you came here to learn the skills, but you didn't say you were going to practice on bosses after you finished your apprenticeship!" (End of Chapter)
