章節 24: Nawaki is severely injured

"Lady Tsunade, quickly, go to the emergency room, your brother..."

Bang!

Before the medical ninja could finish his sentence, Tsunade stomped the ground, creating a small pit, and rushed towards the direction of the emergency room.

When Tsunade arrived at the emergency room, she saw Nawaki barely clinging to life. Though he had received basic first aid from the medical ninja on the battlefield, their skills were lacking, and they could only maintain Nawaki's vital signs without being able to save him.

"Lady Tsunade."

The other medical ninjas breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing Tsunade's arrival. They immediately made way for her to prepare for the surgery herself.

With just one glance, Tsunade knew how serious Nawaki's injuries were. Though he had been injured all over his body from exploding tags, the most serious was his abdomen, which had been blown apart, damaging his internal organs and causing his life signs to rapidly decline.

Tsunade immediately created two shadow clones, then used three medical ninjutsu simultaneously for treatment. If she had perfected the technique of cellular regeneration a few days earlier, she would have been more certain in treating Nawaki. Fortunately, some medical ninjas provided emergency treatment to Nawaki, or he wouldn't have survived until Tsunade arrived for treatment.

Every second counted, and when Tsunade realized her chakra levels were running low, she had her assistant feed her several special military ration pills to keep her going until the end of the surgery.

"The rest of you, come here. We must clean the wounds, stitch them up, and bandage him."

Before Tsunade finished speaking, she slumped directly into a chair beside her. She had been treating Nawaki continuously for seven or eight hours, and her chakra had been completely depleted. Even now, she had not passed out, as her willpower kept her going.

"Leave it to us, Lady Tsunade."

The other medical ninjas quickly took over the remaining operations, and soon everything was finished.

Nawaki was wrapped up like a dumpling, covered in bandages, and still unconscious. Even if he wakes up later, there may be some difficulties ahead.

"I know. Thank you all for what you did just now."

Tsunade forced herself to stand up, her face pale. She had just completed Nawaki's operation, so she knew what his future would be like. Though there was a good chance he would survive, he could no longer be a ninja.

This was a huge blow to him, as he had been determined to become Hokage since he was a child. Even if he woke up, he might not be able to accept this result. But Tsunade had done her best. If she had treated him earlier, there was a good chance he would have been cured. However, the medical ninjas on the battlefield were not as skilled as she was.

Thinking about this made Tsunade even more urgent to establish a medical system. If there were enough medical ninjas, Nawaki and other injured ninjas on the battlefield would not face such situations.

As Tsunade walked out of the emergency room, she happened to run into Orochimaru. He asked, "How is he?"

"He's fine now. The rest can be discussed later, Orochimaru."

Nawaki had only just become Orochimaru's student, and now she was faced with this situation. She was exhausted and had to go back and inform Mito Uzumaki.

Cain had no idea what had happened. Nawaki was supposed to die in his memory, but because of him, he survived.

Many medicines reduced the pressure on medical ninjas and shortened the treatment time for injured people. With medical supplies and drugs in full stock, Konoha Hospital quickly treated all the accumulated wounded.

After the medical pressure in the village decreased, Sarutobi Hiruzen sent a group of medical ninjas and medical supplies to the front line. This was also the reason why Nawaki was able to survive.

If there were no medical ninjas on the front line to save his life, Nawaki would not have been able to hold on until Tsunade could treat him in Konoha.

However, no one would tell Cain about this. After taking a day off to rest, he discussed with Mei Kawakami and decided to buy two more houses nearby to use as shops. Both shops served as restaurants, one as a barbecue restaurant and the other as an izakaya.

The commercial street planning in Konoha has not yet started. After observing the shops in Konoha, Cain found they were quite casual, with some shops used as stores and residences. They did not have the concept of a commercial street. So, Cain decided to create one himself.

Moreover, the war is ending, and after the war, it will be a time for economic recovery. The surviving ninjas will earn a lot of money. Their consumption will mainly revolve around food, clothing, shelter, and transportation. After establishing the barbecue restaurant and izakaya, Cain plans to open several more shops.

He is only responsible for providing the money and the early establishment. Then he will leave the rest to the shop managers.

Cain still has a lot of money from the ninja world, which can only be used in this world. He might as well spend all of it and then exchange the money he earns for other resources.

However, Cain delegated the task of buying the houses to Kawakami. If he had done it himself, he might have been cheated. In Cain's opinion, those two elders of the Konoha Council were simply brainless. They didn't even consider whose resources were more important. If Konoha could cheat Cain on houses, he could earn back ten times the amount through medicine.

After a few days, Mei Kawakami had already handled the house purchase, and the amount spent was much less than Cain expected.

Next, they had to plan the procurement channels and recruit personnel. These were relatively easy tasks. Unlike other restaurants, they only needed to prepare the meat and let the customers grill it themselves. As for the izakaya, the customers were there to drink and fill their stomachs, so the chef's skills were not as important.

If possible, Cain also plans to open a casino in Konoha. After the war, only gambling can quickly make people forget the excitement of the battlefield. Cain also wants to help the ninjas recover from their sadness. However, he needs to inquire about this matter first. If possible, Cain will buy some high-end gambling machines from Las Vegas and establish the largest casino in the country of Fire.

Cain suddenly thought that the Konoha casino could be postponed. Still, the casino in the country of Fire should be started immediately.

After giving Kawakami and 1 million Ryo as capital for opening the shop, Cain prepared to go to Kawaki Town to check out other business opportunities. He still has tens of millions of Ryo that he has not spent yet, and keeping them in his hands is like having waste paper. He is now earning money every day and must invest it as soon as possible to develop his business.

Just as Cain was leaving, Kushina returned to the food shop.

"Ah, boss, you're here."

Cain casually responded, "Yes, but I won't be here long. If you need anything, you can talk to the new shop manager. Although she is quite busy."

After hearing this, Kushina looked around the shop and then came to Cain and asked, "Boss, what would be a good gift to give to a patient lying in bed?"

"Fruit. You should know where the fruit shop is in Konoha."

Upon hearing this, Kushina frowned and shook her head, "He's a few years older than me, so he probably won't like fruit."

What's the use of comparing yourself? I loved eating spicy food when I was ten! Cain said helplessly in his heart. Then he thought for a moment and said to Kushina, "If you're not sure, you can give me 100,000 Ryo, and I'll help you prepare a gift."

"100,000 Ryo!?" Kushina's eyes widened, and she immediately thought, Is this boss trying to scam me again?
