Zongman: Capturing the goddess from Demon Slayer

The grandson of the First Hokage—Nawaki.

He suffered severe injuries, his face disfigured, his whole body charred, on the verge of death, clinging to his last breath.

Soon, Tsunade, Orochimaru, and Jiraiya learned of this news.

As Nawaki's teacher, Orochimaru, upon receiving the news, swiftly abandoned the battlefield.

Wielding a short sword.

He encountered ninjas from other villages who tried to stop him, and he killed them without a word!

Jiraiya directly used the Summoning Technique to summon Gamabunta.

"Gamabunta! Jump quickly! Head to Konoha Village!"

Tsunade, after receiving the news, also went all out, sprinting towards the direction of Konoha Village.

Inside the house, Arashi Meiao opened his eyes.

Because of nervousness, Kushina, who hadn't been sleeping and had only been resting with her eyes closed, noticed that Arashi Meiao seemed to have opened his eyes.

She secretly opened her eyes and glanced at Arashi Meiao.

Seeing that Arashi Meiao was indeed not sleeping, and just as she was about to open her mouth to ask why.

Arashi Meiao reached out and pressed his finger on Kushina's red lips.

He looked at Konan, who was sound asleep.

Kushina understood and nodded slightly.

"I'm going out, stay home and sleep obediently."

Arashi Meiao's voice echoed in Kushina's mind.

Kushina was extremely surprised, watching Arashi Meiao leave the room.

At Konoha Hospital, Orochimaru, who was the first to arrive, came to Nawaki's side, who had already been declared beyond saving.

Looking at the charred corpse, if it weren't for the necklace on his neck, Orochimaru wouldn't have recognized it as Nawaki.

Orochimaru's hand trembled as he reached out to test Nawaki's breath, wondering if he was mistaken, why did Nawaki still have a breath left.

After confirming that he really had a breath left, Orochimaru's face turned ashen as he angrily rebuked:

"Why aren't you saving him?"

"What are you still standing here for!"

"Doesn't he still have a breath left?"

A group of doctors, scolded by Orochimaru, didn't dare to say anything.

Just as Orochimaru was about to draw his sword and kill someone, a doctor stammered:

"We've already tried to save him, but it's useless. Although he seems to have a breath left, it's not working. No matter what medical ninjutsu we use, it's ineffective."

"He's like a corpse now."

As he spoke, the doctor used the Mystical Palm Technique, placing his hands on Nawaki's chest.

His chakra was almost exhausted, but Nawaki's chest didn't change at all, still charred like charcoal.

"Useless! Get out of the way!"

Orochimaru didn't believe it.

He also knew such a low-level medical ninjutsu like the Mystical Palm Technique, and he wanted to see if it really didn't work.

However, the result was that it really didn't work, just like the doctor said.

He used up most of his chakra, but Nawaki still didn't change in any way.

"Heh heh..."

"Ha..."

Orochimaru gave a wry smile, his face devoid of any emotion.

He reached out and took off the necklace from Nawaki's neck, then turned and walked out of the room.

"There's also that one!"

A doctor called out to Orochimaru, pointing to the puppet placed on the ground.

Orochimaru lowered his head, turned around, and looked.

He saw the puppet.

He went back, squatted down, and picked it up.

Looking at the puppet that looked exactly like Nawaki.

Orochimaru remembered what Nawaki had said.

On the first day Arashi Meiao came to Konoha, he used Wood Release to make a puppet for him.

But this didn't seem to have anything to do with Nawaki's current situation, right?

A breath of life brought by the Wood Release puppet?

Come on, it's better to say it's because of the First Hokage's necklace on his neck.

Looking at the lifelike Nawaki puppet in his hand, Orochimaru decided to take this thing away as a memento.

As Orochimaru reached the door, Jiraiya pushed open the door and hurriedly asked:

"Where's Nawaki?"

Orochimaru tilted his head back and said:

"There, but he only has one breath left."

"See if you can save him, I can't anyway."

Jiraiya came to Nawaki's side, looked at Nawaki who only had one breath left, and asked the same question as Orochimaru:

"Why aren't you saving him?"

"Doesn't he still have a breath left?"

Before the doctors could answer again, Orochimaru said:

"It's useless, Nawaki's body is like it's insulated from chakra, no matter what healing ninjutsu is used, it won't work."

"I'm sorry for your loss..."

After the doctors finished speaking, they left the room.

Outside, the rain was pattering down, and Tsunade finally arrived.

Panting heavily, her eyes were lifeless.

Orochimaru leaned against the door playing with the puppet in his hand, Jiraiya stood on the other side, lowered his head, and remained silent.

Ignoring the existence of the two, Tsunade walked inside.

Jiraiya reached out and blocked Tsunade, saying:

"Nawaki still has a breath left, but the current situation is that he is immune to any healing ninjutsu."

"There is no difference between him and a... dead person."

"You better not go see him."

Orochimaru played with the Nawaki puppet in his hand and said:

"What does it matter, anyway, even if you see him, you won't recognize that it's her younger brother Nawaki."

"Why not look at this."

Orochimaru handed the puppet to Tsunade.

Tsunade stared blankly at the puppet in Orochimaru's hand, and thought of Arashi Meiao.

"Because of war, every ninja has a high probability of becoming like this."

"Because there are no medical units, many ninjas cannot receive effective treatment in the first time after being injured, resulting in aggravation of their injuries, and even death."

"By the way, Tsunade, there's also this necklace, there's still residual heat on it, but I don't know if it's the residual heat of the explosive tag, or Nawaki's."

Seeing that Orochimaru was going too far, Jiraiya angrily said:

"Orochimaru, stop talking!"

"Nawaki still has a breath left, right?" Tsunade asked, looking at the dark corridor in front of her.

"Yes, he still has a breath left, it's really strange, he's obviously like a dead person." Orochimaru replied.

"If you ask me, it's better to let me send Nawaki on his way, so as not to suffer more pain because of this breath."

Tsunade glared fiercely at Orochimaru, snatched the puppet and necklace from Orochimaru's hand, and ran into the rain.

Running towards home.

Nawaki said that he liked the puppet Meiao gave him very much, and couldn't bear to damage it.

Now the puppet appeared on the battlefield, and Nawaki still had a breath left, it must all be related to the puppet.

If a puppet can save Nawaki's breath, then Meiao will definitely be able to save Nawaki.

Arriving at the door of Arashi Meiao's house, Tsunade was about to knock on the door.

The door was opened.

Upon seeing Arashi Meiao, Tsunade instantly burst into tears.

"Meiao... please save Nawaki, he's going to die..."

"Waa—"

Tsunade sobbed and cried.

Arashi Meiao took Tsunade's hand.

"Don't worry, Tsunade, Nawaki will be fine."

Arashi Meiao and Tsunade disappeared from the door, and when they reappeared, they were already at the door of Konoha Hospital.

"You are?"

Recently, Jiraiya has been busy teaching students and doing missions, and has not had time to pay attention to Tsunade, so naturally he does not recognize Arashi Meiao.

He just felt like he had seen Arashi Meiao somewhere.

"Arashi Meiao?" Orochimaru asked.

Arashi Meiao ignored the two and led Tsunade towards the dark corridor.

Seeing this, Jiraiya and Orochimaru followed behind him.

Jiraiya wanted to know who this person was, what he was going to do, why Tsunade brought him here, and what was the relationship between the two.

Orochimaru wanted to see if Lan Mingang was as amazing as Nawaki had said, and whether Lan Mingang could really save Nawaki.

Pushing open the door, Lan Mingang immediately saw Nawaki, whose whole body was charred like charcoal.

Upon seeing the charcoal version of Nawaki, Tsunade instantly felt like she couldn't breathe, wanting to cry but unable to.

Tsunade curled up her body, squatting on the ground, crying silently.

Lan Mingang crouched down, cupping Tsunade's cheeks with both hands.

"Tsunade, don't cry, Nawaki is not dead yet."

"I can completely save him, without leaving any sequelae, exactly like Nawaki yesterday."

Gentle chakra poured into Tsunade's body, and Tsunade barely recovered, looking at Lan Mingang, and asked with a choked voice:

"Really?"

"I never lie. Get up, watch how I save Nawaki and restore him to the same state as yesterday."

Lan Mingang took Tsunade's hand and pulled Tsunade up, coming to Nawaki's side.

Tsunade forcibly held back her sobs, standing aside watching Nawaki on the bed.

Orochimaru came to the opposite side of Lan Mingang, wanting to see how Lan Mingang would save the charred Nawaki and restore him to the same state as yesterday.

Lan Mingang placed his hand on Nawaki's chest.

No green light emitted from his hand, no energy of any color.

He just placed it on Nawaki's chest like that.

Orochimaru was completely dumbfounded by this scene.

Without any attribute chakra in your hand, what are you going to use to save people?

Are you kidding me?

Thump!

A sound like a drum rang out.

Damn?

Orochimaru frowned, leaned his head, tilted his head, wanting to hear if he had heard wrong, why did Nawaki's corpse make a heartbeat sound.

Thump! Thump! Thump!

One after another heartbeat sounded from Nawaki's chest.

Orochimaru was stunned, Jiraiya was stunned.

Tsunade's frustrated face finally showed an excited smile.

As the heartbeat returned to normal, Nawaki's body, which had become charcoal, was also constantly expanding, gradually returning to its original size.

Crack!

The carbonized surface of the body made a crisp sound.

Pieces of black charcoal-like skin fell off Nawaki's body.

Revealing normal flesh-colored skin.

Orochimaru was dumbfounded, this is not ninjutsu!

After most of the carbonized skin on his body had faded, Nawaki's arm produced a trembling touch.

Tsunade cried with joy, and quickly stepped forward to hold Nawaki's arm.

"Nawaki!"

"It's me, I'm your sister!"

"Wake up quickly!"

Nawaki's eyelids kept twitching, trying to open them with effort, and his mouth was also constantly trembling.

"Orochimaru, bring the quilt behind you!"

"Ah?"

"Oh!" Hearing this, Orochimaru spread the quilt on Nawaki's body according to Lan Mingang's instructions.

Lan Mingang withdrew his palm that had been placed on Nawaki's chest.

"Okay, it's back to normal!"

"As for the remaining carbonized skin that hasn't fallen off, just take a bath."

"Mingang, Nawaki hasn't woken up yet," Tsunade said anxiously.

"He's too tired, he needs to rest."

"He'll wake up after a sleep."

"Don't worry, I don't have accidents when I take action," Lan Mingang said with a smile, and reached out to wipe away the tears from the corners of Tsunade's eyes.

Jiraiya, who was on the side, twitched his eyes and mouth when he saw this scene.

"Yeah, thank you Mingang, if it weren't for you, I really don't know what to do."

"Thank you Mingang." Tsunade stepped forward and hugged Lan Mingang.

She leaned on Lan Mingang's body and cried again.

Lan Mingang hugged Tsunade, gently patting Tsunade's back.

"Look, you're crying again. If Nawaki wakes up and sees you crying like this."

"Where will the majesty of being a sister be?"

"Tsunade..." Jiraiya shook his head.

He originally wanted to comfort Tsunade, but now it seems that he is completely unnecessary.

Well, I'll just guard outside the house.

Jiraiya looked at Orochimaru, who was full of research desires for Nawaki, and said:

"Orochimaru!"

"Let's go!"

Orochimaru looked at Nawaki on the bed, and then looked at Tsunade and Lan Mingang, who were showing affection. In the end, he reluctantly left the room.

Nawaki is his student, and there is plenty of time to study.

He can't ruin his impression in Lan Mingang's mind because of temporary gains and losses.

That would be a big loss.

It's time to think of a way to get close to Lan Mingang.

This hand of reviving the dead is simply a miracle!

All night, Lan Mingang and Tsunade stayed in this room, waiting for Nawaki to wake up.

The sun rises in the east.

The morning sunlight shines into the house through the window.

Illuminating Nawaki who is still on the bed.

Nawaki turned over.

Opened his sleepy eyes.

"Where is this?"

The confused Nawaki hadn't recovered yet when he saw his sister Tsunade and Mingang-ge, who might be his future brother-in-law, sitting beside him.

Seeing that the two seemed to be looking at him, Nawaki's brain instantly woke up, pulled up the quilt on his body, and exclaimed:

"Sister, Mingang-ge, what are you two doing..."

Before Nawaki could finish speaking, Tsunade got up and hugged Nawaki.

The sudden hug made Nawaki a little confused and at a loss.

"Sister..."

"It's good that you're okay... It's good that you're okay..."

Listening to his sister's choked voice, Nawaki couldn't help but feel sad.

"Sister, what's wrong with you?"

"Why are you crying? Wasn't I on a mission?"

"Where is this?"

Lan Mingang told Nawaki what happened.

After learning that he was almost blown to death because of the mission, if it wasn't for Mingang-ge's puppet, he would have gone to see the God of Death.

Nawaki was afraid for a while, and at the same time, he was glad that he listened to Mingang-ge and brought the puppet.

If he didn't have this puppet, he would have died on the spot, and he wouldn't have been able to wait for Mingang-ge's treatment.

"Sister, look, I'm fine."

Nawaki squeezed out a smile, comforting his sister.

"Sister, where's my necklace?"

Nawaki asked, touching his neck.

"Could it have been blown up?"

"That's grandpa's necklace!"

"No, the necklace is fine." Tsunade took out the necklace and put it back on Nawaki.

Seeing the First Hokage's necklace return to his neck, Nawaki was overjoyed.

"Hehe, as expected of grandpa's necklace, I was almost blown to death, but the necklace didn't even break."

Tsunade reached out and knocked on Nawaki's head.

She娇嗔 said:

"What are you talking about!"

"Hurry up and thank your Mingang-ge!"

Nawaki smiled and looked at Lan Mingang, and said:

"Thank you, brother-in-law!"

"Thank you for reminding me to bring the puppet, thank you for saving my life!"

Tsunade, who was on the side, blushed when she heard Nawaki actually call Lan Mingang brother-in-law.

She knocked on Nawaki's head again.

"What nonsense are you talking about!"

"I think you've blown your brains out!"

"Do you want me to fix it for you?"

"No, no, no, sister, I was wrong, if you knock again, the future Hokage will become a fool!" Nawaki said,捂着 his head.
