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

Chapter 259 Antidote Serum

"Beware of Chiyo's poison."

Akimichi Tokifu's voice grew weaker and weaker, and he fell into a coma again.

The medical ninja rushed forward to examine him, and after a moment, breathed a sigh of relief: "He's only temporarily unconscious, but the toxins have already invaded his internal organs. If an antidote isn't developed soon, I'm afraid..."

Sasuke Unno nodded and began reading the battle report. The more he read, the more his brows furrowed. The situation on the front lines in the Land of Rivers was worse than he had imagined.

After Kato Dan's sacrifice, Konoha lost its core fighting force against the Sand Ninja puppet army. Orochimaru's whereabouts are unknown, Tsunade and Jiraiya are still fighting against Chiyo's Sand Ninja army on the front lines of the Land of Rain. Now, Ebizo has obtained Chiyo's new poison, "Purple Scorpion." Tsunade on the Land of Rain's side has not yet developed an antidote, and Akimichi Torifu has also fallen. All these factors combined make the situation very bad.

The entire battlefront in the Land of Rivers was leaderless and morale was low. If it weren't for Hatake Sagumo's outburst at a critical moment, which stabilized the situation in the Land of Rivers, Ebizo would probably have already led the Sunagakure army into the heart of the Land of Fire.

The most deadly poison is Chiyo's new poison, "Purple Scorpion." Not only is it extremely potent, but existing antidotes are not very effective. Even if the poisoned person takes the antidote, their chakra will dissipate, they will fall into a coma, and eventually die from internal organ failure.

Currently, more than 300 Konoha ninjas have been poisoned, and the medical corps is still helpless.

"Send the order!"

Umino Sasuke closed the scroll, his voice firm and powerful, "Immediately summon all medical ninjas who are still able to move. I need to know the details of this poison."

Meanwhile, strengthen security around the camp. The Sand Ninja might launch a full-scale attack while we are weakened.

Nara Shikaku, who was standing nearby as the scribe, immediately took out his notebook and recorded the order.

"Order Uchiha Shun to lead a patrol along the entire Shinano River defense line; order Moonlight Night to scout the movements of the Sand Village ninja and report back immediately; order Yamashiro Midori to tally how many usable medical supplies we have left..."

With orders issued, the Konoha camp began to operate in an orderly manner.

After entrusting a large amount of logistical work to the capable Nara Shikaku, Umino Sasuke finally arrived at the medical isolation area and began treating the wounded.

"Water Release: Water Healing Technique!"

With Samehada's chakra transfer, Umino Sasuke alone is equivalent to a medical team.

In an instant, a large number of blue water rings precisely enveloped each of the wounded.

The blue chakra water seeped into the wounded soldier's body, engaging in a fierce battle against the toxins.

Mikoto Uchiha no longer held her usual wariness towards Sasuke Umino. Standing to the side, she activated her Sharingan and closely observed the wounded man's detoxification process.

Gradually, the purple marks on the skin of some of the lightly wounded began to fade, and their breathing became more stable.

Mikoto Uchiha quickly stepped forward to check and was pleasantly surprised to find that the toxins in their bodies had indeed been reduced considerably.

"It's really amazing!"

A hint of admiration appeared in Mikoto Uchiha's eyes.

"This is just a temporary measure; it only suppresses the toxins temporarily and cannot completely purify them."

After suppressing the injuries of all the wounded, Sasuke Umino was not optimistic.

"We must develop an antidote as soon as possible, and we cannot place all our hopes on Tsunade."

A distant solution cannot quench an immediate thirst. By the time Tsunade develops an antidote, none of the wounded will survive. If Ebizo then produces a new type of poison, the previous sacrifices will have to be repeated.

"This purple scorpion venom is a biological protease venom extracted from desert scorpions. Although it is highly toxic, it should not be difficult to develop an antidote serum."

Then, Umino Sasuke quickly summoned Byakuya. "Byakuya, I need your help." Byakuya tilted its head and blinked its golden eyes, seemingly understanding its master's thoughts. As a high-level summoning beast that lives in the desert and feeds on scorpions, its resistance to poison is rare in the ninja world.

Over the next few days, Umino Sasuke worked almost non-stop, proposing to take a sample of the [Purple Scorpion] venom, dilute it, and inject it little by little into Big White's body, then immediately treat it, even using the Gluttony Technique to increase its resistance.

Each time Little White recovered from poisoning, he would increase the dosage and toxicity to stimulate its immune system. Then he would draw a small amount of blood and separate out the antibodies. With Big White's cooperation, even though Big White's feathers lost their luster due to repeated poisoning, its resistance to toxicity became stronger and stronger.

By dawn on the fourth day, Sasuke Umino finally isolated effective antibody protein serum from the latest batch of Whitebeard's blood. He quickly combined it with the basic antidote to create the first batch of experimental antidotes.

When the first antidote was injected into a dying Konoha ninja, everyone held their breath.

A few minutes later, a miracle happened: the purple lines on the patient's skin began to fade, and his breathing gradually stabilized.

“It works, it really works!”

The ninjas present were overjoyed and cheered.

The news spread like wildfire throughout the camp, and Umino Sasuke immediately organized people to mass-produce the antidote and prioritize the treatment of critically ill patients.

In just one day, nearly a hundred Konoha ninjas who were originally certain to die were pulled back from the brink of death.

"Lord Sasuke——"

One of the Chunin who was saved was in tears, extremely excited. "I thought I was going to die and that Haruko would have to live a life of widowhood. I am so grateful to you."

"Uei Taro, get some rest. Konoha needs you. Things will get better."

Umino Sasuke visited each of the wounded soldiers, even memorizing their names, which earned him the heartfelt respect of the Konoha ninjas as their vice-commander.

After the antidote was put into large-scale use, the situation on the front lines in the Land of Rivers began to turn around. The Konoha ninja, with their morale greatly boosted, reorganized an effective defense and repelled several probing attacks from the Sand Ninja.

Inside the Sunagakure front-line camp.

Ebizo stared at the intelligence scroll in his hand, his face filled with disbelief.

"Impossible, absolutely impossible!"

Ebizo's voice was hoarse as he questioned, "How could my sister's Purple Scorpion Poison be neutralized in such a short time?"

The Sand Village strategists inside the tent were silent, none daring to utter a word. They had never seen this Sand Village strategist, known for his composure, so out of control.

A Sand Ninja wearing a gas mask cautiously stepped forward: "Sir, the intelligence is confirmed. This morning, the Konoha camp began distributing a blue potion on a large scale. Our spies personally witnessed Konoha ninjas who had been poisoned experiencing significant relief after taking the medicine."

"who is it?"

Ebizo slammed his hand on the table, causing the sand table model on the table to vibrate. "This is the deadly venom of the top-tier summoning beast, the Crimson Scorpion. It's a complex neurotoxin made from the essence of dozens of scorpions. Even if Tsunade herself came, she wouldn't be able to develop an antidote in less than ten days or half a month."

"It's Umino Sasuke!"

The young staff officer lowered his head and answered in a low voice.

"Umino Sasuke!!!"

The name pierced Ebizo's chest like a sharp knife, his expression instantly contorting as he gritted his teeth, "It's that white blood demon again!"
