Support for Sunagakure! A Difficult Poison to Cure!
After the group of Shinki left, Jiraiya pushed open the door to the Hokage's Office.
"You knew perfectly well that Akatsuki's mission target included the Nine-Tails, so why did you still send that brat Naruto?"
"Isn't this just handing kills to the Akatsuki?"
Tsunade glanced at Jiraiya, crossed her arms, and said, "The village currently has a limited number of Ninjas available."
Jiraiya said anxiously, "Even if we have limited resources, we can't send them both out! ¯_(ツ)_/¯
Tsunade raised her voice. "Aren't you underestimating your two disciples!"
"Don't forget, Shinki is very strong, stronger than both of us combined!"
"And Kakashi and Guy are with us..."
"Oh, right."
Tsunade walked up to Jiraiya and asked, "Who taught you the Susanoo of the Shinki?"
Jiraiya shook his head thoughtfully. "Before he revealed it yesterday, even I didn't know he could activate Susanoo with just one of Shisui's eyes!"
Tsunade nodded. "Yes, the prerequisite for the Uchiha Clan to awaken Susanoo is having two Mangekyō Sharingan."
"That kid has neither Uchiha Clan blood nor Sharingan."
"I'm getting more and more curious about his true identity..."
On the way from Konoha to Sunagakure.
Shinki slapped his forehead.
He suddenly remembered that during the Chunin Ninja Exams years ago, he had placed a Flying Thunder God Mark on Kankuro's clothes.
The Flying Thunder God Mark will not disappear once it is imprinted, and it allows the user to move regardless of distance throughout the entire Shinobi World.
With the Flying Thunder God Mark there, they could just go directly there. Why are they still making such a fuss about traveling?
Immediately, Shinki shared his thoughts with Kakashi and Might Guy.
"You mean you're going to take all of us to Sunagakure at once?"
Kakashi was surprised.
While the Flying Thunder God allows for movement regardless of distance, the greater the distance, the more Chakra it consumes.
Moving people along increases the load.
Shinki nodded. "Yes."
"I wonder if Kankuro threw away that outfit from three years ago..."
Sunagakure.
At this moment, Kankuro was lying in the Sunagakure Ninja Hospital.
He was covered in various tubes, clearly very ill.
Temari sat by Kankuro's sickbed, taking care of her ailing younger brother.
Kankuro smiled wryly and said, "Temari, even if I need a change of clothes while I'm in the hospital, you don't need to bring clothes from three years ago."
Temari unfolded her clothes and examined them, then compared them to Kankuro's physique.
"This suits you quite well; your height hasn't changed much in the last three years..."
Kankuro smiled bitterly.
Then, he thought of something painful, and his eyes dimmed.
"It's my fault for being useless; I couldn't save Gaara."
Temari comforted him, "The opponent is none other than Sasori of the Red Sands, the legendary Puppeteer of Sunagakure."
"You're lucky you came back alive."
When Kankuro heard the word "alive," he chuckled self-deprecatingly, "I've been poisoned by Sasori's puppet venom. He said I wouldn't live more than three days."
Temari said, "You don't need to worry about that. When you were chasing Gaara, we sent a request for help to Konoha."
"According to the normal organization of Konoha squad, medical-nin from Konoha should arrive."
He can definitely cure you.
"As for Gaara's matter, you don't need to worry too much. The higher-ups have invited two reclusive masters to come out of seclusion..."
Right after Temari finished speaking, Kankuro was poisoned, his whole body convulsed, and he screamed in agony.
"Uh--"
After the contractions subsided, Kankuro, covered in sweat, said, "Temari... Sister, when will the medical-nin from Konoha arrive? I'm afraid I won't make it until they get here."
However, the next moment, Shinki and his group of six arrived using the Flying Thunder God Technique!
Temari:ヽ( ຶ▮ ຶ)ﾉ!!
Kankuro:_(´ཀ`" ∠)__
"Hey, get off me! You're crushing me!!"
"I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry."
Shinki and the others hurriedly jumped off the hospital bed and looked around.
The pristine white walls and the familiar smell of medicine clearly indicate that this is Ninja Hospital.
At that moment, Naruto was next to Shinki, asked, "What's wrong with Kankuro?"
Temari replied, "After Gaara was captured by Akatsuki, Kankuro gave chase for a distance, but was severely injured by Sasori of Akatsuki..."
The next second, Temari remembered something and excitedly said, "That's right! You've come at the perfect time! Are there any medical-nin who can help my brother detoxify!"
All the Konoha Ninjas turned their gazes toward the Shinki.
Temari immediately looked puzzled.
She admitted that Shinki was a very good fighter and very handsome.
But this guy can also cure diseases???
"Are you... sure you can do it?"
Temari asked cautiously.
Tenten said unhappily, "What do you mean? Shinki is the youngest medical professor in the entire Konoha. Are you doubting the medical standards of our Konoha? (｡•ˇ‸ˇ•｡)"
Temari quickly waved her hands. "No, no!"
Shinki generously replied, "It's alright. I'm young after all, so it's normal to face some doubts."
Next, Shinki approached Kankuro's bedside and examined him with great seriousness.
"I can cure this poison, but I need some medicinal herbs from Sunagakure..."
Then, Shinki rattled off a long list of medicinal herbs.
With each word Temari heard, her brow furrowed deeper.
Although she didn't understand pharmacology, she knew that the medicinal herbs Shinki had mentioned were all extremely valuable!
Seeing that Temari hadn't moved, Shinki tilted his head and asked, "Doesn't Sunagakure have any of these medicinal herbs in stock?"
"Do you even want Kankuro to live?"
Upon hearing this, Temari immediately withdrew to prepare the medicinal herbs.
At this moment, only the Konoha members and Kankuro remained in the Orochimaru's hospital room.
"You can all go out now, I need to perform surgery," Shinki said.
Naruto and his group looked puzzled: Σ( ° △ °|||)
Neji asked, "So soon? Shouldn't we prepare?"
Might Guy nodded. "Yes, if this surgery fails, it could damage the relationship between the two villages."
Shinki pouted. "Mind your own business when it comes to medical-nin. ╮(￣▽￣)╭"
Afterwards, Shinki chased the group out of the room and injected Kankuro with an anesthetic.
The surgery begins...
A dozen minutes later, Temari and the Sunagakure guards arrived hurriedly with medicine and immediately spotted the Konoha Ninjas standing outside the Orochimaru's hospital room.
What are you all doing standing here? Why don't you go inside and sit down?
Temari puzzled.
Kakashi explained, "Surgery is underway inside."
Temari: "Ah?!!∑(°Д°ノ)ノ"
"So hasty?!"
"Even if he's confident in his medical skills, there's no need to rush into surgery!"
"What if something goes wrong, Kankuro..."
Temari had never really believed in Shinki's medical skills.
Upon hearing that Shinki had already begun surgery, she immediately thought of the worst possible outcome!
Temari: "Sigh, I hope Shinki's medical skills are reliable..."
Then came another agonizing wait.
A few minutes later, three more people appeared on the other side of the corridor.
Leading the group was a high-ranking member of Sunagakure, followed by an old man and an old woman.
Upon seeing Ninja wearing Konoha Forehead Protector on the other side of the corridor, the old woman's eyes flashed with a fierce light.
"The Konoha Ninjas are attacking again?!"
"I'm not someone to be trifled with!"
