"Twice, as far as I know." Neji counted on his fingers. "The first time was four years ago, when Guy led an S-rank mission. An enemy's poisoned needle struck a teammate in the heart, and his heart stopped.
Chisen opened his chest on the battlefield and performed cardiac massage. At the same time, he downed a vial of Neural Stimulant, using the heightened reaction speed it gave him to remove the poisoned needle from the heart. He put in seventeen stitches and saved the man's life.
The second time was three years ago. Konoha Hospital admitted a patient in toxic shock who needed a special antidote, but its formula had to be adjusted in real time inside the patient's body. They couldn't adjust it fast enough to keep up with the patient's metabolism.
Chisen injected himself with half a dose of Neural Stimulant and used the accelerated thinking it gave him to work out the correct formula in twenty minutes."
"How long did it take him to recover those two times?"
"Two months the first time." Neji tapped a finger lightly against his knee. "A month and a half the second time.
But both doses were smaller than this one.
The amount he drank on the pit wall today-my conservative estimate is twice the standard dose.
He needed to activate his entire nervous system in a short time, including his already injured right leg and his brain, which wasn't getting enough oxygen because of the blood loss.
If we calculate it based on a double dose..."
He didn't finish.
Tenten's expression had already done the rest of the calculations for him.
A double dose, extrapolated from his previous recovery times, meant he might need three to four months this time.
And that estimate assumed his body developed no complications during
