Bab 295: Chapter 295: Scalpel!
Seeing Reiki's actions, Nozuki and Shisui instinctively turned their heads away. They were used to Reiki's unconventional methods, but it still felt unsettling each time.
The seriously injured ninjas who were still conscious couldn't help but flinch. Initially, they admired Reiki's dedication as a medical ninja. He was thorough, sealing their movements before treatment, which even opponents respected. But now, all they felt was fear.
This was because they knew they might soon face his treatment, which had become something they dreaded.
"No... I don't want your treatment!"
"No, just finish me off instead! I'm really healed; I swear, there are no more injuries..."
"You... I'll fight you... just don't touch my face... I'm sorry..."
...
Screams and pleas for mercy echoed around them, making even the ninjas battling Hatake Sakumo uneasy. It was as if they could feel the pain that Reiki's patients endured.
Hours later, Reiki noticed that the rewards on his system panel had dwindled. He stood up, wiping the sweat from his brow, and approached another ninja.
"Don't come any closer! I don't need treatment! Don't Konoha ninjas take prisoners back for interrogation? Take me to the interrogation department—I don't need treatment!" the ninja begged, voice breaking. He would rather face death than another cycle of Reiki's treatment.
"Damn it, keep Hatake Sakumo occupied! The rest of you, handle that medical ninja!" barked one of the enemy leaders as he and four others continued their assault on Hatake Sakumo.
"Understood!" Four enemy ninjas immediately rushed toward Reiki. Shisui and Nozuki stepped forward to flank him.
"In such a hurry?" Reiki said with a grin. "Nozuki, Shisui, let's try that move."
The two nodded, summoning their shadow clones in a flurry of smoke.
"Chongming, Kurama!"
"ROOM: Scalpel!"
Reiki activated the chakra from the tailed beasts within him, and in a flash, four enemy jonin found their hearts severed by an invisible force. Their eyes widened as their bodies weakened, and they dropped to the ground, unable to move.
Shisui and Nozuki rushed in and incapacitated the four with swift, decisive blows. Meanwhile, Reiki, having performed the scalpel technique, carefully transferred the hearts into his hands using his space manipulation.
"Whew..." Reiki exhaled heavily, drenched in sweat as he slumped to the ground. Using the scalpel technique on four jonin simultaneously had drained him considerably, despite his enhanced stamina and the tailed beast chakra.
He took a stamina potion and recovery potion, drinking them quickly before sitting to recover. Shisui and Nozuki had successfully rendered the four unconscious, and now only five enemy shinobi remained, still locked in combat with Hatake Sakumo.
"Reiki, just now..."
Shisui glanced at Reiki, his mind still reeling from what he witnessed—the instantaneous removal of hearts.
Reiki smiled and explained, "It's my unique bloodline limit ability, 'Scalpel.' I can remotely control and temporarily seal an opponent's internal organs, creating the illusion of them being removed."
Shisui nodded, piecing together the logic. "With someone like you on our side, anyone without prior knowledge would suffer greatly."
Nozuki chuckled. "Hey, Shisui, what if we sold information about Reiki? We'd make a fortune."
"Good idea," Shisui joked back.
"Go ahead, and I'll provide the details. Then we can split the earnings," Reiki said with a smirk. "Now, let's focus. Uncle Sakumo might need us soon."
Reiki walked over to another ninja and began treating him, confident that Hatake Sakumo had the situation under control. If Sakumo was in danger, they had orders to retreat—but that moment hadn't come.
"Why... are you treating me?" the ninja whispered, still processing the odd mix of relief and dread.
Reiki's smile was bright. "I'm a medical ninja. It's my duty. Plus, I want to understand how different injuries respond to treatment. That's the only way to become the best."
The ninja's eyes softened, remembering his own early days as a shinobi, before his dreams were consumed by orders and duty. For a fleeting moment, hope flickered within him.
As Reiki's treatment ended, strength slowly returned to the ninja. But just as relief set in, Reiki snapped his leg.
"Ahhh! What are you doing?!" the ninja yelled, panic overtaking him.
"Oh, I wasn't satisfied with the previous treatment," Reiki said nonchalantly, rolling up his sleeves. "So, I'm re-treating you. Don't worry; I'll patch you up soon enough."
The bewildered ninja could only brace himself as Reiki's fists descended, punctuated by sincere reassurances of medical care.
...
"Uncle Sakumo, stop playing around," Reiki called out as noon approached. "I'm done here."
Hatake Sakumo, who had indeed been stalling to give Reiki time to finish, smiled knowingly. He understood Reiki's dedication and unique methods. "Understood," he said, downing three potions—berserk, haste, and spirit-clearing—preparing for a final offensive.
The five enemy jonin, exhausted and desperate, glared at Sakumo. How could he still be using potions at this point in the fight?
...
Ten minutes later, Sakumo concluded the battle, and the team regrouped.
Hatake Sakumo: "Let's analyze this battle and identify any weaknesses."
Nozuki: "I think the problem is Reiki. He's too much of a wildcard."
Shisui: "Agreed."
Reiki: "Huh? I'm off to do more treatments..."
