Naruto's civilian cannon fodder starts with the three-body technique

Chapter 182 Yin Seal - Release
Upon arriving at the front-line patrol zone, using sonic radar technology, Umino Sasuke, along with Tsunade, quickly located Senju Nawaki.

At this moment, Senju Nawaki lay supine in the mud, his posture like that of a sleeping child. His body was still warm, but the explosive tag had torn through his dark green vest, and his entire abdominal cavity had shriveled up.

"The Rope Tree!"

Tsunade quickly pressed her palm heavily onto Senju Nawaki's chest.

At the same time, Tsunade also summoned a slug clone the size of an adult, in an attempt to heal Senju Nawaki's wounds.

"this--"

Tsunade finally realized something was wrong; beneath the shattered sternum, the abdominal cavity was completely empty.

Nawaki's internal organs were all precisely removed, and the enemy even thoughtfully used medical ninjutsu to maintain his blood circulation, allowing him to remain conscious before he died completely.

"Who did it?"

When Orochimaru saw his disciple suffering such agony before his death, with even his internal organs ripped out, his golden vertical pupils blazed with endless killing intent.

"Yin Seal·Resolution!"

The purple diamond-shaped mark on Tsunade's forehead blossomed, and the patterns of the Yin Seal spread from her forehead to her entire body. The abundant emerald green chakra transformed into a tangible cocoon of light, enveloping Nawaki.

However, when these green lights came into contact with the empty cavity of the abdomen, although they could proliferate a lot of organ cells, the Thousand Hand Rope Tree's organs were all hollowed out, and its body's ecological cycle system had been completely destroyed, so it was impossible to effectively proliferate and divide to produce even a single complete organ.

Tsunade suddenly retched violently, her fingers digging deep into the bloody hole in Nawaki's chest, sticky pieces of internal organs spilling out from between her fingers.

At this moment, the residual warmth of Nawaki's body began to dissipate. In her stiff left palm, Tsunade touched half of a melted and deformed honey energy block. This was a battlefield supply that she had secretly slipped into Nawaki's ninja tool bag before Nawaki set off this morning.

"It's no use, stop."

Seeing that Tsunade was exhausting her life force to save Nawaki, Orochimaru had no choice but to intervene.

"Shut up!"

Tsunade roared and slammed her fist into the ground, creating a spiderweb-like crack that instantly spread to the cliff ten meters away.

Despite knowing it was futile, Tsunade still wanted to save Nawaki; she simply couldn't accept the painful reality of losing him.

"Let me do it."

With the help of Samehada, Umino Sasuke finally released six more shadow clones. Seeing that Tsunade's Yin-Yang Seal was ineffective, he volunteered to heal Nawaki.

"Sasuke, you have a way, right? Please, you must save Nawaki."

Tsunade grabbed Sasuke Umino with such force that she almost crushed his bones.

Even though she knew the chances of saving Nawaki were slim, she still pinned her hopes on Umino Sasuke, even if it was a lie, she was willing to believe it.

"Spirit Sealing Seal!"

Umino Sasuke quickly formed hand seals and placed them on Senju Nawaki's head, sealing his soul to buy more time for the subsequent treatment.

"Orochimaru, let's go to my lab together."

"Flying Thunder God Technique?"

Orochimaru, being knowledgeable and experienced, understood the principle behind the technique upon seeing the shadow clones arrayed around him.

When Kato Dan arrived with reinforcements, a spatial fluctuation flashed by.

Umino Sasuke, carrying the corpses of Orochimaru, Tsunade, and Nawaki, disappeared from Kato Dan's sight and appeared thousands of miles away in the Land of Waves.

"Hiruko, quickly replace Nawaki's organs with spare ones."

As soon as Sasuke Umino appeared at the No. 3 Prosthetic Limb Laboratory in the Land of Waves, he instructed Hiruko to quickly replace Nawaki's organs with the best available ones. Although the technology for transplanting organs such as the heart, liver, and spleen is not yet mature, with the assistance of Tsunade and Katsuyu, a simple and crude transplant should not be a big problem. The key now is to be fast, to complete the procedure before Nawaki's cells lose their activity, and because Nawaki possesses the Senju bloodline, has strong vitality, and his vital signs are relatively well preserved.

Furthermore, this spare organ was cultured from white asteroid cells, which have extremely strong compatibility and assimilation capabilities. It is still quite possible to maintain the vitality of the rope tree temporarily.

The initial reason for establishing this prosthetic limb laboratory was simply that some of the soldiers in the Umino unit had become disabled, and they wanted to provide them with prosthetic limbs. Unexpectedly, the results came in handy even before they were available.

The organ transplant was very successful. Except for the heart, which was transplanted by Hiruko herself, all the other organs were quickly performed by Tsunade.

"Spirit Sealing Seal - Release!"

Umino Sasuke placed his hands on Nawaki's forehead and released the seal. "Tsunade, quick, start CPR."

Tsunade immediately reached her right hand into Nawaki's abdominal cavity and squeezed his heart, like an artificial pacemaker, to help Nawaki's heart start beating again.

As a large amount of blood from the IV drip was infused into Rope Tree's body, driven by the heart pump and stimulated by the electrical nerves of numerous instruments, Rope Tree seemed to have revived from a state of apparent death.

"The Rope Tree!"

Tsunade wept with joy.

"Sister, didn't I die? Cough cough!"

"Rope Tree, don't talk nonsense. I will never allow you to leave your sister."

Tsunade hugged Nawaki tightly, fearing she might lose the most precious treasure in her life.

"Rope Tree, tell me, who emptied your organs?"

"Yes--"

Senju Nawaki hesitated for a moment, but finally could only say, "It was done by Iwagakure."

"Don't lie!"

Tsunade understands Nawaki best. Although Nawaki has changed a lot and become more mature, he still retains his original nature when facing his sister.

"Sister, don't ask anymore." Nawaki forced a weak smile. "Isn't it normal for ninjas to get injured? Don't worry, sister."

“Rope Tree, they actually kept you conscious and emptied your organs. How painful that must have been! I must get justice for you.”

Tsunade was furious. The image of Nawaki remaining conscious despite having his organs removed, and the joy of saving Nawaki, immediately filled her with rage. She wanted nothing more than to find those despicable people and tear them to pieces.

Senju Nawaki seemed to have something difficult to say and did not want to answer the question further.

Orochimaru, standing to the side, had some guesses in his golden vertical pupils.

Seeing this, Sasuke Umino changed the IV tubing again: "Nawaki needs to rest. Tsunade, you and Hiruko should go and prepare the anti-rejection medication."

Seeing Tsunade leave, Orochimaru spoke in a hoarse voice, his magnetic tone turning cold: "Nawaki, it was done by people from our village, wasn't it?"

"Teacher, how did you know?"

Senju Nawaki looked puzzled and said nothing, yet Orochimaru-sensei had already guessed it.

"Sure enough."

Orochimaru and Sasuke Umino exchanged a glance, finally confirming their thoughts.

Clearly, both of them had already guessed, but only Tsunade couldn't believe that it was her own village that did it, which is why she didn't think of it.
