I, Uchiha: Split Konoha

Chapter 53 Organ Transplantation

Konoha Prison.

The police department is responsible for the safety and security of Konoha, and the village's three major prisons are also under the supervision of the Uchiha.

Outside the ordinary prison cell, two elite Uchiha members were warily surveying their surroundings. Not only here, but there were also guards outside the prison, as if they would send a signal at the slightest sign of trouble.

Inside the bright and clean room, no one would have imagined that there was such a room below the prison. Amidst the pungent smell of disinfectant, the operating room was bustling with activity.

Outside the operating room, Uchiha Yoru squinted, using two fingers to continuously train his chakra nature transformation while holding a leaf between his fingers. At his feet were countless leaves, charred black from being electrocuted, or even partially missing and reduced to ashes.

"Brother Ye."

Just after leading a prisoner into the house, Uchiha Shisui came out. However, the instant Shisui stepped out, his body was slammed heavily against the wall, causing him to groan.

With one hand gripping his collar, Shisui's pupils merely contracted in surprise at the attack—so fast!—but he didn't retaliate.

At this moment, Uchiha Yoru gripped his collar tightly with both hands, lifting him up, his eyes filled with oppressive power as the two tomoe in them swirled.

"Uchiha Shisui! What's with the prisoners we're operating on today? Didn't I say it was only people who deserved to die?"

Shisui suppressed the discomfort in his chest and looked at Uchiha Yoru, who was staring intently at him. He showed a look of shame and said with difficulty and hoarseness, "Brother Yoru, there aren't enough prisoners in the jail, and he's the only matching kidney donor right now."

The pressure on his chest gradually eased, allowing Shisui to breathe normally again. Uchiha Yoru, however, frowned. "The village has three great prisons; surely they can't find a suitable one?"

"Brother Ye, the most heinous prisoners in the prison have either been sent to participate in human experiments or had their organs transplanted. We're short-handed, and there are also more people keeping an eye on us in the village lately."

At this point, Uchiha Shisui showed a deep sense of exhaustion. "Brother Yoru, the clan's territory has been targeted by the Anbu."

When he said those words, Shisui's eyes revealed three parts helplessness, four parts resentment, and the remaining three parts anger.

Just then, the operating room lights suddenly turned on, the door opened, and Uchiha Yoru and Shisui walked in as if nothing had happened.

"Hehe, thank you very much, Lord Ye. Otherwise, I really don't know when my back will recover."

A middle-aged ninja from the Inuzuka clan, supporting his bandaged waist, smiled obsequiously and said something, while Uchiha Yoru smiled and nodded in response.

"Not at all, Lord Inuzuka, you are a hero of Konoha. You have worked hard and made great contributions for so many years, and you even injured your back for Konoha. We all did it for Konoha."

Seeing such polite words, Inuzuka Isamu's smile widened, and he waved his hand, saying, "Hehe, it's all for Konoha, for the village."

Although the Uchiha clan is now isolated, the Seventh Division of the Police Department is a different story. It represents Orochimaru, and their clandestine sex trade is something that all the major clans are now envious of.

"Sir, this is the prepared medicine. Just take it on time. Check for any rejection every month for the first six months, and then check once every three months thereafter."

A medical ninja wearing a mask came out and handed over the prepared medicine with a smile. Inuzuka Yu, who was obviously weak after just undergoing surgery, smiled immediately upon hearing this.

"You're too kind, you've gone to so much trouble."

With the air of a seasoned veteran, Inuzuka Isamu escaped the prison through a secret passage under the escort of ninjas, leaving only four people in the operating room.

The person who performed the surgery removed his mouth and revealed a gentle smile. It was Yakushi Kabuto. At this moment, he respectfully reported with a fake smile on his face: "Inuzuka Isamu's two kidneys have been replaced. This prisoner has been given a kidney that is about to die. After undergoing this major surgery, he probably won't last more than two months."

The other person who performed the surgery was clearly a member of the Hyuga clan, just by looking at their eyes.

On another hospital bed, a prisoner in prison clothes was unconscious, unaware that during his unconsciousness, his two kidneys had been cut off.

Uchiha Yoru listened to Kabuto's report, then nodded solemnly and said, "Make it discreet. If anything happens to this prisoner, it will be attributed to illness."

"Yes, sir."

Uchiha Yoru, after leaving prison, was bathed in sunlight, but in Shisui's eyes, it was as if he were in darkness.

"Shisui, from now on, the organ trading within the prison will be handled by the Hyuga clan. The Uchiha only need to be on guard and ready to retreat at any time."

"Yes, Brother Ye." Shisui replied respectfully. Since the night of the Nine-Tailed Fox last year, he had experienced too much in less than a year, and countless things had refreshed his understanding of the world.

In the past two months, the death rate of prisoners in the village jail seems to have increased inexplicably, but this has not attracted much attention. However, the number of seriously ill people has increased significantly.

Abusing power for personal gain, many of the prisoners in the prison are serious offenders who cannot get out in less than several decades. Almost all those who have served more than fifteen years are on the list.

Many ninjas from various clans in the village have suffered from relapses of old injuries, or are critically ill due to organ damage. However, the recent secret transaction has solved their urgent problems.

No one wants to die, and no one wants to drag their ailing body down day by day, especially ninjas who, having passed their prime, are all afraid of death. Prisoners can be matched with them, and if a match is found, organs can be exchanged or even transplanted.

All of this is based on the technology developed by Orochimaru, resulting in near-perfect organ transplantation.

"Shisui, we don't do these things for Lord Orochimaru. Root and Anbu do it in secret, but the difference is that our technology and supply are relatively better."

The fact that Rin Nohara, a Chunin-level medical ninja, could perform a transplant surgery on such a tense battlefield speaks volumes about the level of Konoha's medical ninjutsu, especially in organ transplantation.

Ninjas are people who frequently carry out combat missions, so they inevitably get hurt. Naturally, they also need to perform organ transplants to save their lives. The difference is that in the village, they have to consider the impact and can only do it in secret. However, they almost always use death row inmates or foreign spies.

They, on the other hand, have a wider range of methods. After all, with so many prisoners in the village prison, it would be a waste not to use them.

More importantly, ninjas can only receive organ transplants from other ninjas; transplants from ordinary people will result in rejection.

Uchiha Shisui had already experienced too much darkness. After all, he was using prisoners, which was better than treating human life like dirt. He nodded and said, "Brother Night, I understand."

"No, you don't understand. Do you know why Orochimaru had the Uchiha and Hyuga clans work together secretly to do this?"

At this moment, Uchiha Yoru once again showed that look of taking on a heavy responsibility. There was no other way; Shisui's potential spoke for itself. He clearly had the opportunity but turned a blind eye to it, and let Shisui side with the Hokage faction? That was just nonsense.
