Capítulo 22: Ch22: First Operation
Yasuke had managed to find the ward for critically ill patients, taking advantage of the commotion caused by a mysterious agitator at the hospital entrance, he managed to bypass security and reach the ward for critically ill patients. The chunin, distracted by the commotion, had rushed to investigate, leaving the path to the ward surprisingly clear.
Upon entering the ward, her gaze immediately fell on the recumbent figure of Grandma Nora, her heart pounding, a mixture of anxiety and relief. The sight of Grandma Nora lying on a bed, surrounded by tubes, hit him with a wave of emotions. She was unconscious, her face pale and serene in contrast to the chaotic situation in the hospital.
Around him, a group of doctors were arguing quietly but intensely, showing a mixture of concern and professionalism.
Among them, one figure stood out: a young woman with long blonde hair tied in a ponytail, with two locks framing her face, reflecting her youth and an air of casual confidence. She wore a tight white top that emphasized her practical and functional approach, with a short skirt over fishnet leggings that gave her a look that was both stylish and ready for action. Her ninja sandals completed the outfit, emphasizing her role as a medical kunoichi. Though young, her posture and the way she interacted with the other medics suggested that she had significant status among them. Yasuke did not recognize her, but the young medic was none other than Tsunade Senju.
Tsunade, with her characteristic confidence and determination, seemed to be leading the discussion. Despite her youth, there was an air of authority and competence about her. Her eyes, sharp and appraising, occasionally wandered to Grandmother Nora, showing a mixture of concern and concentration.
Tsunade, focused on the discussion, barely noticed Yasuke's entrance. To her, he was just another kid in a place where he shouldn't be, possibly an academy student she had let curiosity get the better of her. She paid him no further attention, assuming he would be escorted out soon.
Yasuke's inner emotions were a whirlwind. Although relieved to find Grandma Nora, he was overwhelmed by the gravity of the situation. "She has to be okay," he kept repeating to himself, Yasuke slowly approached, his heart pounding. Seeing Grandma Nora in that state was a shock to his reality, a confrontation with the fragility of life he had been trying to avoid. Her mind was flooded with emotions: worry, fear, and a feeling of helplessness that weighed heavy in her chest.
The room was filled with a tense air, each doctor seemed to carry the weight of a critical situation. Yasuke slowly approached Grandma Nora's bedside, his gaze filled with worry. Although the doctors were still arguing, one of them eventually noticed the young ninja's presence.
-Who are you? What are you doing here? -asked the doctor, surprised.
Yasuke, taken by surprise, did not know how to answer. He looked at Grandma Nora and then at the doctors, his mind struggling to find the right words. At that moment, the room seemed to have stopped, all eyes were on him.
Just as a doctor approached Yasuke to escort him out of the room on Tsunade's orders, Grandma Nora's situation suddenly worsened. She began to convulse, her body shaken by violent spasms. The doctors moved quickly, their attention focused entirely on stabilizing her.
Tsunade, with an efficiency and calm that showed her experience, directed the actions of the medical team. Once Nora's situation was momentarily stabilized, Tsunade turned to the other doctors.
-She is suffering from Advanced Chakra Resonance Syndrome," she explained seriously. It is a rare and extremely complicated condition. Treatment options are limited and risky.
As the doctors assimilated the information, Yasuke, still in the room, impulsively intervened.
-I may know how to fix it! -he exclaimed in a voice full of confidence and determination.
Tsunade looked at him with skepticism and a hint of irony.
-A student at the academy? -she said with a satirical smile. I doubt you can offer a solution.
A doctor approached Yasuke, trying to lead him out of the room. Yasuke, however, fought to stay, repeating his claim.
-I can do it, I know I can! -he insisted, his voice reflecting a mixture of desperation and conviction.
Tsunade, with a mixture of curiosity and skepticism, watched Yasuke as he was released by the doctor. Her expression was that of someone who did not expect a viable solution from an academy student, but something in Yasuke's determination had caught her attention.
Yasuke, now facing the attentive gaze of the doctors, was in a difficult position. He didn't know the details of Advanced Chakra Resonance Syndrome, but his instincts told him he couldn't just give up and abandon Grandma Nora.
-"I don't know the details of this disease," Yasuke began, his voice full of honesty and urgency. But I do know that there are ways to manipulate and balance chakra. Perhaps there is a technique that can help, something they have not yet considered.
The doctors exchanged skeptical glances. Tsunade, however, kept her eyes fixed on Yasuke. Despite the unlikely help a student could offer, there was something about Yasuke's tenacity that kept her from dismissing him entirely.
-It's a complicated illness, young man," Tsunade replied in a tone that mixed patience and condescension. It is not something that can be solved with general ideas or unfounded theories.
Tsunade watched Yasuke for a moment longer, then turned to the other doctors.
-Continue with the treatment. Keep me informed of any changes in his condition," she instructed.
Then, turning to Yasuke, he added.
-Stay," he finally said, his voice softer than expected. It was an impulsive decision, unusual for the calculating Tsunade.
Yasuke, surprised but grateful, nodded with determination. He didn't know why Tsunade had allowed him to stay, but he was determined to take advantage of this opportunity.
The doctors in the room exchanged looks of surprise and curiosity, but no one questioned Tsunade's decision. She was a figure of authority and respect, and her judgment was rarely questioned.
-My parents were doctors," Yasuke began, choosing his words cautiously. -I grew up around medicine and have spent a lot of time studying books on the subject. Although I am not an expert, I have some knowledge that could be useful here.
Tsunade looked at him with a mixture of surprise and skepticism. The idea that an academy student would have a background so focused on medicine was unusual, but something in the way Yasuke expressed himself indicated that he wasn't lying.
-Interesting," Tsunade said, assessing Yasuke with a new perspective. -"If you have any ideas, let's talk. But remember, we're dealing with a life here.
-Based on what I've read, we could try a chakra redistribution technique to stabilize its state," Yasuke proposed. -There is a method that involves.....
Before he could finish, Tsunade interrupted him with a skeptical look.
-That technique you mention is theoretically feasible, but in practice it is extremely risky, especially in an advanced case like this," Tsunade replied. Her tone was not dismissive, but informative, marking the limitations of Yasuke's proposal.
Yasuke felt discouraged for a moment, but quickly regained his composure and presented another idea.
-How about a more conservative approach? We could...
Again, Tsunade interrupted him.
-That would only delay the inevitable and might even aggravate his general condition. In medicine, especially in medical ninjutsu, what works in theory is not always applicable in practice.
Every suggestion from Yasuke was met with an explanation as to why it would not work, based on Tsunade's knowledge and experience. Although her responses were firm, there was a tinge of patience in her voice, as if she recognized the effort and intent behind Yasuke's ideas.
Yasuke, though initially discouraged, began to understand the complexity of ninja medicine through Tsunade's answers. His respect for her grew, realizing the gap between his theoretical knowledge and Tsunade's practical experience.
After an intense exchange of ideas and possibilities, the medical team came to a challenging conclusion: to effectively treat the illness, it would be necessary to simultaneously address both Nora's physical condition and chakra imbalance. However, the complexity and risks associated with such a procedure left everyone in the room hesitant, doubting its feasibility.
In that moment of uncertainty, Yasuke, driven by his determination and desire to help, stepped forward.
-I will do it," he declared firmly. -Even though I'm just a student, I can't stand idly by. Besides, I have my own abilities, which go beyond the ordinary to back me up, I am willing to take the risk.
The room fell silent, all eyes were on Yasuke. His bravery was undeniable, but there was also concern about his lack of practical experience.
Tsunade watched him, assessing his conviction and willingness to learn and take risks. After a few moments of reflection, she made a decision.
-All right. Yasuke and I will perform the treatment," Tsunade announced. -It is a risk, but this boy has the courage and willingness to try. I will guide him through the procedure.
-Before we begin, Yasuke, I need to better understand your abilities. You mentioned that you can perform techniques that go beyond the conventional. Explain it to me.
-My abilities... are something I've always had. They are unique and unlike anything I've seen in the village. I can create a space in which I control everything that happens inside.
-A controlled space? That sounds like a Kekkei Genkai, a unique hereditary ability. Is that what you have?
-I guess you could describe it that way. I don't know anyone else with these abilities. They allow me to perform surgical procedures with a precision and control that would normally be impossible.
-Interesting. A Kekkei Genkai like that would be extremely valuable in ninja medicine. But I need to see it in action to fully understand its potential.
Yasuke nodded, understanding Tsunade's need to see a practical demonstration.
-I understand your skepticism. Let me demonstrate it during the procedure. You will see what I am capable of.
Tsunade watched him for a moment longer, weighing his words. Finally, she nodded.
-All right, due to the short time we will proceed. But I will be watching closely. If your skills are what you say, they could change the way we understand medical ninjutsu.
Yasuke was relieved for the opportunity to demonstrate his skills. He was aware of the responsibility this entailed, but he also knew it was an opportunity to show his worth and contribute meaningfully.
-Thank you, Tsunade. I won't let you down.
The critical patient room was bathed in dim light, creating a serene but tension-laden atmosphere. In the center, Grandma Nora's bed, surrounded by medical equipment, was the focus of all attention. Yasuke stood beside her, feeling the weight of what was to come. Beside him, Tsunade was meticulously checking the surgical instruments arranged on a nearby tray, her expression serious and focused.
Yasuke watched Tsunade's every move. He noticed how her deft hands selected and arranged the instruments, each one placed with precision and care. Although the situation was grave, Tsunade's calm and efficiency conveyed a sense of control and professionalism.
-Are you ready, Yasuke?" asked Tsunade, turning her gaze toward him. Her voice was calm but had a tinge of seriousness that underscored the seriousness of the operation.
-Yes, I am ready," answered Yasuke, trying to emulate Tsunade's calmness. Internally, his heart was pounding, a mixture of nervousness and determination flooding him. He remembered all the hours he had spent studying medical texts, every page, every diagram, and clung to that knowledge like a life preserver.
Tsunade nodded and approached the bed. -Remember, precision is key in this procedure. Every cut, every application of chakra must be exact. There is no room for error," she instructed, looking Yasuke straight in the eye.
Yasuke nodded, absorbing every word. He looked at Grandmother Nora, her face calm in a sleep-induced slumber, and felt a surge of responsibility. "I can't fail," he thought.
Around the bed, the attending physicians moved quietly, preparing everything needed for the procedure. Yasuke watched as they prepared the solutions and medications. Every action was a reminder that they were on the edge of a medical frontier, about to embark on a procedure that could change everything.
Tsunade approached the instrument table once more, checking each item. -We will use a combination of your orthodox techniques and medical ninjutsu," she explained. -You will have to use your skills to create a space with precision. I will handle the chakra manipulation and stabilization.
Yasuke nodded, understanding his role. He looked down at his own hands, aware that in them lay a crucial part of the success of the treatment. He concentrated on his breathing, trying to calm his mind and prepare himself for what was to come.
-I will trust you, Yasuke," Tsunade said, a statement that resonated with significant weight. -And you can trust me.
With those words of mutual trust, Yasuke and Tsunade prepared to begin the procedure, united in their goal of saving Grandmother Nora's life.
In the concentrated silence of the room, Yasuke took a deep breath before beginning the procedure. Beside him, Tsunade watched intently, ready to intervene at any moment. The air was thick with anticipation and palpable tension.
-I will begin with the first incision," Yasuke announced, his voice steady but his hand trembling slightly as he took the scalpel. He had performed countless operations, yet this was the first time he had a special connection with the patient.
With a steady hand, Yasuke made the first cut. It was superficial, but precise, marking the beginning of the delicate procedure. Tsunade nodded slightly, a gesture of approval that instilled confidence in Yasuke.
-Be ready to act quickly," Yasuke said, addressing Tsunade and the medical team. -This procedure requires an immediate response to any changes in his condition.
Tsunade responded with a nod. -We are ready. Proceed.
Yasuke then activated his Ope Ope no Mi ability. A surgical space formed around the affected area, a visual field that allowed him to see and manipulate with supernatural clarity and precision. Within this space, Yasuke's every movement was crucial, and his concentration was total.
As Yasuke worked, Tsunade supervised every step, ready to apply her medical ninjutsu at any moment. Her hands were not far from Grandmother Nora, ready to intervene with healing techniques if necessary.
As Yasuke continued with the procedure, her growing confidence could be seen. Each cut, each maneuver showed a combination of care and precision. His Ope Ope no Mi skill was an invaluable asset, allowing him to perform tasks that would have been impossible under normal circumstances.
Tsunade, watching his every move, thought silently, -His technique is impressive.... There is a precision I have not seen before. But the real challenge will come later.Despite her concentration, she was aware of the risk and complexity of the procedure.
Once Yasuke completed the first part of the procedure, it was Tsunade's turn. With a speed and skill that reflected years of training and experience, she applied her medical ninjutsu to regenerate the healthy tissues. The collaboration between them was like a delicate but vital dance, each playing his role to perfection.
Yasuke, as he made another incision, thought, "This is more difficult than I expected. But I can't afford to hesitate. Grandma Nora is depending on us."
-You're doing a good job," Tsunade said, offering words of encouragement. Despite her façade of toughness, she recognized the importance of support in such critical times.
"Thank you," Yasuke replied, allowing himself a brief smile before returning his focus to the task at hand. He felt a growing respect for Tsunade, not only for her skills but also for her leadership in such a challenging situation.
The proceedings continued, with Yasuke and Tsunade working in perfect harmony. As they progressed, the tension in the room slowly began to ease, a sign that the treatment was working.
The operation had been progressing well under the careful coordination of Yasuke and Tsunade, but as is common in medicine, especially in such complex cases, complications soon arose. Yasuke, working meticulously on a critical section, came across an unexpected change in Grandmother Nora's chakra resonance pattern.
Yasuke thought with concern This is not good. The resonance is changing unpredictably... I have to adjust my focus quickly. The chakra fluctuation was becoming more erratic, threatening to spread to unaffected areas and potentially increase the damage.
- Yasuke, stay calm and adjust your focus. The resonance is fluctuating," Tsunade warned, keeping her voice calm but firm. She was monitoring the changes in Nora's vital signs, adjusting her medical ninjutsu in response to the situation.
Yasuke nodded, concentrating intently on the challenge before him. His Ope Ope no Mi skill was crucial at this point, allowing him to manipulate tissue with a precision and control that went beyond conventional methods. His every move was calculated to contain and cut the affected areas without spreading the damage.
The unexpected change in chakra resonance required quick and precise adaptation. Yasuke, applying all his knowledge and skill, began to adjust his technique, focusing on isolating and stabilizing the critical areas.
Watching Yasuke, Tsunade realized that the situation was becoming more critical. "Every second is vital. Yasuke is demonstrating impressive skills, but this disease is more complex than we have seen," she thought, continually looking for the best way to support the procedure.
-I'm trying to isolate the resonance, but its nature is elusive... it's like trying to catch smoke," Yasuke said, his voice strained with effort and concentration. The precision of his surgical movements was vital, but the unpredictable nature of the disease was testing his limits and abilities.
Suddenly, one of the attending physicians began to notice that the patient's breathing was slowing, indicating a deterioration in Grandmother Nora's condition. Tsunade and Yasuke exchanged a quick glance; both knew there was no time to waste and that they had to act quickly and efficiently.
-I am increasing the intensity of my ninjutsu to stabilize her. Continue with the procedure, Yasuke," said Tsunade, with a tone that indicated urgency but maintaining control. Her hands moved with impressive speed, applying her medical ninjutsu with a level of skill that reflected years of experience and training.
-Understood," Yasuke replied, reaffirming his concentration on the task before him. With each surgical move,
The tension in the room increased as the medical team watched the operation, aware of the delicate balance Yasuke and Tsunade were maintaining. Despite the overwhelming pressure, the two maintained a perfect balance between their individual skills, complementing each other at every step of the procedure.
"I have to maintain control. The chakra resonance is fluctuating more than expected." Yasuke was constantly adjusting his approach, using his Ope Ope no Mi skill to make precise and delicate adjustments to the affected tissues.
Tsunade, meanwhile, was applying her medical ninjutsu to counteract the effects of the chakra fluctuations. Her expertise was evident in every gesture, every technique applied with a precision that could only come from years of practice and in-depth knowledge.
"We are at a critical point. The disease is challenging, and every action counts." Despite her calm exterior, Tsunade continually assessed the situation, adapting her techniques to respond to changes in Nora's condition.
At one point, one of the attendants an alarming change in the patient's breathing, indicating a deterioration in her condition. Tsunade and Yasuke exchanged a quick glance, both realizing the seriousness of the moment.
-I'm going to intensify my ninjutsu. We need to stabilize her now.-His hands moved with an almost blurry rapidity, applying a series of complex medical jutsu to keep Nora stable.
-Understood. I'm going to isolate the affected areas. Concentrating more than ever, Yasuke worked with pinpoint precision, every cut and every surgical maneuver carried out with the utmost care and attention.
The room was filled with palpable tension. The other doctors watched silently, aware that a cutting-edge medical procedure was underway, one that could change not only Nora's life, but also the field of medical ninjutsu.
Despite the pressure and challenge, Yasuke and Tsunade maintained a perfect synergy, each playing their crucial role in the procedure. The combination of Yasuke's unique surgical skill and Tsunade's advanced medical ninjutsu was creating an opportunity to overcome a seemingly insurmountable challenge.
The tension in the operating room reached its peak when they faced a critical moment in the procedure. Yasuke, working with intense concentration and precision, encountered a particularly challenging situation. Grandmother Nora's chakra fluctuation had reached a critical level, threatening to destabilize the entire process they had worked so hard to control.
-This is the most critical part. If I don't handle this correctly, we could lose her." Aware of the impending risk, he adjusted his technique, attempting to isolate and contain the erratic chakra resonance.
Noting an alarming change in Nora's vital signs, Tsunade intensified her medical ninjutsu. -I am increasing the intensity of my jutsu to stabilize her. Keep going, Yasuke," she said, her voice steady despite the tension in the room. His hands moved with impressive skill and speed, each jutsu executed with surgical precision.
Yasuke responded with a nod, concentrating more than ever on his task. Despite the risk and overwhelming pressure, he was determined to do everything he could to save Grandma Nora's life. He continued with the procedure, every move calculated and meticulous.
The collaboration between Yasuke and Tsunade was essential at this critical moment. While Yasuke handled the physical part of the procedure, Tsunade focused on stabilizing and repairing the damage caused by the chakra fluctuations. Together, they formed a team that balanced the art of ninja medicine with advanced surgical skills.
As they progressed, Grandmother Nora's vital signs slowly began to stabilize, an indication that the treatment was working. However, the situation remained delicate, and any mistake could have fatal consequences.
"There is no margin for error. Every move must be perfect." The gravity of the situation weighed on him, but his determination and training kept him focused and precise in his work.
-You're doing a good job, Yasuke. Keep it up. "Despite his tough exterior, Tsunade knew that words of encouragement were crucial in tense times like this.
-Thank you," she said briefly, allowing herself a small smile before returning to her intense concentration. She felt a growing respect and appreciation for Tsunade, not only for her skills but also for her guidance and support in such a challenging situation.
After overcoming the most critical moments of the procedure, Yasuke and Tsunade continued to work with impeccable focus and synchronization. The challenge they had faced together had strengthened their collaboration, making them an even more effective team.
Despite the fatigue he was beginning to feel, Yasuke kept his focus on the procedure. Every incision, every manipulation of chakra was crucial. "We're close to being done. Just a little more," he kept repeating to himself, channeling his energy and knowledge to complete the operation successfully.
Tsunade, for her part, was still applying her medical ninjutsu with uncanny precision. She watched Yasuke's every move, adjusting her jutsu to complement his work. "The patient's recovery depends on these last steps," he thought, keeping a constant watch on Grandma Nora's vital signs.
Time seemed to stand still in the operating room, with everyone present holding their breath, waiting for the final outcome. The tension was beginning to ease, giving way to cautious hope.
With steady hands, Yasuke made the last necessary incision.
-Well done, Yasuke. That should be enough," Tsunade said, a sigh of relief escaping her lips. Her expression reflected a mixture of satisfaction and relief. They had overcome a formidable obstacle together.
-We're done," said Yasuke, allowing himself to relax the tension in his shoulders a little.
-We did it. We saved her life," said Tsunade, looking at Grandmother Nora, whose breathing was now more regular and calm. Her cooperation had been key to the success of the procedure.
After the successful procedure, the operating room was filled with an air of relief and admiration. Yasuke, though exhausted, felt a deep sense of satisfaction. He had overcome a monumental challenge and had helped save a life. Tsunade, for her part, allowed herself a rare show of a smile, pleased with the outcome and the promise Yasuke had shown.
She looked over at Grandma Nora, whose vital signs now showed clear improvement. "We did it," she thought, with a mixture of relief and pride. This experience had been more than an operation; it had been a journey of personal and professional growth.
-Boy, that you can perform such complex operations and your strange abilities, will be questioned, you will need to answer many questions.
Tsunade approached Yasuke, placing a hand on his shoulder. - However you did an outstanding job today. You have proven yourself to be more than just a student; you have the potential to be a great medical ninja," she said, acknowledging Yasuke's talent and determination.
The doctors in the room began to disperse, continuing with their duties, but the atmosphere had changed. There was a sense of awe and respect for Yasuke and Tsunade, who had worked together to overcome what many would have considered impossible.
-Thank you, Tsunade. I learned a lot from you today," said Yasuke, feeling a deep respect for the medical ninja who had been his mentor in this critical situation.
